STRRET CAR ACCIDENT.

A narrow escape from instant death
occurred TO mrs. Virginia Duvall, on
Tuesday morning. 1t seems that Mrs
Duvall was driving along Second
street in her buggy, when a street car
came along, and without warning she
drove on the track almost in front of
the rapidly moving car. Before the
motorman could stop the car, which
he tried in vain to do, the car struck
buggy squarely, smashing it to kind
ling wood, but, strange to say, Mrs.
Duvall, although considerably shaken
up AMI bruised, was not seriously
hurt.
1t is supposed that Mrs. Duvall
who is a very old lady, did not hear
the motorman's gong (which he was
sounding right along) and thus caused
the accident.
This is the second time within the
last few weeks that Mrs. Duvall's
buggy has been damaged by collision
with a street car.
1t was simply marvellous that she
was not instantly killed, as the body
of her buggy was set fiat on the
street.

in the least. My condition became so

The climax of natures irony in the

blossom Is silky, dainty, Elusive as the
down Of our own yellow dandelion on
its way to seed. From June until late
August the tundra is white with the
cotton plant. Unlike the cotton Of the
Southern States, the fiber is short and
SOFT having more of the texture Of silk
than Of cotton.
The cotton plant will, in all probabil-
ity, some day, be the means Of develop

How Dolls Are Made.

Many big things are needed to make
a small doll She has her beginning in
great trough, where workmen knead
up into a dingy paste old cardboard,
even old gloves, old rags and gum
tragacanth. They are great brawny
fellows, these men, naked to the waist,
wearing leathern aprons. In an ad
joining room the paste Is poured into
molds for the busts, the arms, the legs
of dolls innumerable. There Is a spe-
cial machine for stamping out the
hands. l should not like to confess
how long 1 stood in front Of 1t, fas-
cinated by the steady stream Of queer
little hands that fell ceaselessly from
the iron monster. 1t was awful, un-
canny, hypnotizing. Indeed, the whole
sight was grim and monstrous. The
low factory rooms were misty with
steam and lit by strange, red glowing
fires. Always the great steel machines
pulsed and changed, and through the
mist sweaty giants Of men went to and
fro with heaps Of little greenish arms
and legs until you began to think that
some new Herod had killed all the lit
tie people In the world.-Everybody's

Napoleon Trusted HIS omens.

Napoleon always had an unlimited
trust in his presentiments. When the
news came to him that one Of the Nile
river boats, the name Of which was
L'Italie, had been wrecked and the
crew put to death he gave up all hope
Of ever completing his conquest of
Italy by annexation. Napoleon believ-
ed that the stars exercised an occult
influence over human destinies. When
General Rapp, at one time his abide
camp, returned from the siege of Dant-
sic he found the emperor gazing with
concentrated attention at the heavens.
Look there!'' shouted the emperor,
''It is my star! The fiery red one, al
most as large as the moonl It Is be-
fore you now, and, ah, how brilliant I

Probably few people think of pencils
in connection with the subject of for
estry, but there is very close connec-
ton between the two. Every year there
are manufactured in this country some
315, 100000 pencils, and that means
consumption Of 100000 cubic feet Of
wood. 1t happens also that the pencil
manufacturers have to be particular
about the wood. 1t must be, as one of
the circulars Of the governments forest
service says: "a soft wood, even and
straight grained, free from defects and
one which will not check or warp"
Now there Is just one kind that seems
to be entirely satisfactory and that Is
the heart wood Of the red cedar from
which much the greater percentage OF
the total output Of pencils Is made.
Taking into consideration the fact that
there is great waste In getting the right
quality, that the trees are confined to
Dixie land, that no systematic effort
has been made to husband the supply,
and there is a prospect of important
changes in the pencil industry in the
not very distance future. The circular
says that ut is certain that some Of
the mills now In operation must shut
down inside of a dozen years, and this
regardless of any measures which may
be taken In the meantime to protect the
young growth" 1t Is calculated that a
stand Of seventy-flve to eighty trees for
pencil wood will show profit Of per
cent at the end Of sixty years. For
man with a small holding and q long
start toward the grave this is not an
attractive investment, but 1t Is pointed
out that pencil manufacturing corpora
lions might wisely invest in large hold
ings and care for them in a scientific
manner Suggestions for their proper
care are given, and 1t is a satisfaction
to know that in this case as in many
others the forest service Is doing a
work that should prove Of very great
value to the people. The pity is that
the government was not aroused to the
necessity for the work before such
havoc had been wrought with the coun-
try's magnificent growth of timber.

The Old Calfskin Shoe Lace.

The modern boot lace is anything but
a luxury 1t is nearly always just too
long or little too short. and, although
made fiat. 1t soon becomes curled with
a little wear. In the old days laces
were made Of calfskin, and nearly ev-
cry farmer was an expert. He would
cut disk Of leather three or four
inches in diameter. stick the point Of
a sharp knife blade in board, place
the thumb nail the thickness of match
from it and quickly draw the string
through the opening. the perimeter be-
ing reduced the thickness of match
at every measure of the circumfsr-
enca. Then the square string was
rolled between the sole of the shoe
and the floor till perfectly round, after
which it was creased with tallow.
Such lace would last for months
Round laces are now made of fiber,
but their shine soon wears off, giving
them a much worn appearance.
