Cut on the Head.

At the Saturday matinee Of "The
Three Twins" an imposing young
woman wearing pongee creation of
the near-sheath type swept down the
aisle. drawing all eyes after her, says
the New York Times. 1t was not her
gown, however, that was the attrac-
ton, even in this era of hectic in
terest in everything directoire, but as
it was during an intermission and she
had doffed her hat her coiffure
eclipsed every other feature of her
toilet. Her hair was all swept into
an enormous pompadour which, how
ever, draped the back of her head in
stead of crowning her brow.
A mild little country visitor whose
own locks were trinity combed togeth-
er and screwed into tight little knob
on top of her head, stared long at the
receding young woman's coiffure, and
then remarked to her neighbor, who,
by the way, was total stranger to
her: My goodness gracious! If she
were born with thing like that on
her hexu she'd have it operated on"

Home of Vice-President johnson.

On the corner of Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, opposite the post
Office department, In Washington,
there stands to-day modern hotel.
and it occupies the site of what was
once the pension office, when Gen. vii.
liam w. Dudley was commissioner.
Formerly, however, there stood on
this site the Kirkwood house, one OF
the best hotels ever known in Wash,
ington. Its corridors were thronged
by the most eminent statesmen, and
by ladies of social glory in their day
ard generation. That old hostelry
would have been preserved by any one
Of the countries Of the old world; be
cause it was the residence of Vice.
President Andrew Johnson; and in a
room facing the southwest corner Mr..
Johnson took the oath OF president OF
the United States within Is minutes
after President Lincoln had breathed
his last.

A Chance to Buy a Paqoda.

In the year ITO A. D. the Emperor
Koken caused million pagodas to
be made. They were little objects of
wood, only four and half inches
high. Into each was inserted a tiny
scroll with a verse of the Sutras in
scribed thereon, and the whole num-
ber were then handed over to the
temple Horyuji at Nara. In the
course Of centuries these relics grad
ually became dispersed or were de-
stroyed by fire, until only 5000 re-
mained, and the ancient temple, be-
ing now in financial straits, offers one
of these pagodas with its inclosure to
any person sufficiently charitable to
subscribe S5 yen-Japan Weekly Mail.

Tinie,a CHANCES Reconnized.

According to ancient British law the
sovereign shall not leave the kingdom
without the consent OF both houses OF
parliament. In ancient times the alb
sence of the king was met by the ap-
pointment of an officer called the ''jus-
ticiar.' This officer was afterward
superseded by the appointment of
lords justices under the great seal, but
none has been commissioned since
1921. In 1S45, when Queen Victoria
was about to visit Germany, Lord
Campbell urged that lords justices
should be appointed according to con-
stitutional practice, but the lord chan
cellor (Lord LyndhursD convinced the
house that this was no longer neces-
sary, owing to the modern facilities
of communication. This has served as
precedent ever since.

New Explosive Agency.

A new discovery in the ignition of
explosives is creating great interest in
Germany, where its use is increasing.
1t has been found that an alloy of iron
and cerium, or any other OF the rare
earths (such as are used in the manu-
facture OF gas mantles) will create
luminous sparks on being struck by
some metal tool, such as a knlfe-edge
or file, the sparks being sufiicien to
ignite not only gas, but even a wick
saturated with alcohol, naphtha, etc.
1t is claimed that these iron alloys are
efficient in igniting all sorts OF ex-
plosives, the utility varying according
to the percentage Of iron.

A Unanimous Vote.

A German-American who had recent
ly arrived at the estate of riches at.
tended his first banquet The wine
was particularly vile, and so several
gentlemen who were seated near the
German were quite satisfied to have
him empty the bottles that had been
set apart for their common use. Meth
er the quality nor the quantity of the
wine in the least disturbed the Teu-
ton, and, after draining the last glass,
he looked around jovially and said:
"Shentlemen, ! haf now drunken all
your wine, and safed you the trouble
of Thinking vat you did not like.
tink you ought to vote me a public
tank" They did.-Lippincott's.

Japanese Army Promotions.

In the matter of efficiency reports
and promotions it is noted that in the
Japanese army there is a book for
each officer, which he is privileged to
see and in which are recorded remarks
as to his progress and efficiency in
each rank, so that it is known whether
he is fit for promotion or not as he
rises in the service; and, consequent
ly, selection committee does not ex-
ist in Japan. In this way any officer
would be aware of his chances of ris-
ing to high rank, as only those whose
records were good would succeed, the
duffer going out automatically.

A Curious Phenomenon.

A German officer describes in the
Rote Kreuz curious phenomenon he
witnessed on a ride in southwest Afri-
ca. A number of vultures, eagles and
other large birds suddenly gathered
on the trees at one place. A few dark
clouds were visible, and ere long there
was a violent tropical storm. The
water penetrated into holes In the
ground from which presently emerged
large numbers of snakes, scorpions
and mice, and these the birds pounced
upon and devoured.

Her Telephone Hour.

A girl whose engagements are many
has established a telephone hour In
this way her friends are always sure
of catching her on the wire, and she
comes in Tor many unexpected good
times that otherwise might be missed.
Until she did this 1t was almost i'm
possible to get her. Now II she is
not at home at the telephone time she
calls up the house and tells her maid
where she may be reached The ar.
rangement works to charm, she
says, and nothing would induce her to
go back to the haphazard fashion OF
any and no time.

Fun Is a Necessity.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life inciden.
tails, not necessities; that they are
luxuries and have no great bearing
upon ones career. Many think of fun
as frivolous, indicating lack of seri-
GUS purpose in life. There are parents
who rebuke their children because
they want to have fun and go in for
good time, says Success Magazine.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy. and their in.
fuence on the life.

Concrete Railway Ties a Failure.

After years of thorough testing and
experimenting the officials of the Bur
lington railroad have come to the con-
clusion that the use of concrete for
ties is not satisfactory, and that the
most satisfactory solution of the tie
problem is to treat wood so that 1t will
Withstand the action of the elements.
Accordingly they have decided to con-
struct a large plant for treating ties,
bridge timbers, etc, with creosote.
This plant will be the largest and
most complete Of its kind in the world
It will cost about s270.000.

Whale Caught in Salmon Trap.

Dynamite is being used to kill a fin
back whale which entered the salmon
trap of w. A. Lowman at Smallpox
bay, San Juan island. The mammal
entered the trap with a young calf
and in attempting to drive it out the
calf was killed with a rifle shot. The
body sank and the COW refused to de
sert its offspring. The whale vicious
ly attacks every boat that approaches.
An attempt to kill the whale by rifle
fire was tried yesterday, but without
effect. Fears are entertained that the
beast may destroy the trap in her
rage She is 40 feet in length. More
than $4,000 worth of fish a day has
been lost to the packers through the
capture of the whale.-Bellingham Cor.

Sees Change in Temperature.

Europe is growing colder, says NJ.
Camille Flammarion, the French as
tronOmer. He declares that from
actual figures recently obtained he
has become certain that the tempera-
ture of Europe has been falling.
France has been suffering for long
time from an excess of cold weather,
the temperature at Paris having
been one degree below the normal.
Other readings show even less favor
able results. The fall is more notice
able in the spring that at other periods
of the year. Similar conditions are
recorded in England, Belgium, Spain,
Italy, Austria and Germany.

Diving Suit with Laced-Up Leos

Blowing up" is one of the accidents
to which deep water divers are the
most liable. When diver is crawling
on the bottom with his head down, air
may accumulate in the back of the
suit, and, gaining access to the legs,
cause him to turn turtle and shoot
helplessly upward, with the risk of
coming into contact with ships or
boats bottom. To make such acci-
dents impossible, the diving committee
of the English admiralty has recon-
mended that all new diving suits be
provided with an arrangement for lac.
ing up the legs and thighs.

Toxin Of Badness.

A crystalline body that he calls

l.. Parker as an active agent in pro

lungs. and 1t can be detected in the
exhaled air The fact that females
who breathe more fully-are less af
fected with badness than males is
cited as evidence supporting the theo-

kept as long as she is productive,
