NEIGHTi OF WAVES.

F rs1chman Says Observation from the
Decks of Ships Creates Illusion.
M. Berth, Frenchman, has been
making new observations OF the size
OF ocean pillows. He says they are
greatly overestimated when the term
mountainous" is applied to them.
The longest waves he measured were
$500 feet from crest to crest, he says,
and their average. duration was %
seconds. They were not very high,
only about fifty feet or one-fftieth Of
their span.
Indeed, he is of the opinion that the
greatest height ever reached by waves
in open water is fifty feet, and he ac-
counts for higher estimates by saying
that they have heretofore been OBJ
served for the most part from the
decks of ships, and the perspective
effect resulting from looking up along
the slopes has misled the eye and
judgment
When waves become breakers, strik-
ing against some obstacle, there is no
doubt that great masses of water are
hurled to height Of 100 feet and vol
umes. of spray. are flung and blown
still higher.
Very few waves $500 feet long and
SO feet high are ever encountered, he
adds. In average bad weather the
waves run from iG0 to 800 feet from
crest to crest, and their height seldom

Floral Conundrums.

The following set of floral questions
are usually good and are especially
seasonable just now:
What herb is most injurious tc
beauty? Thyme.
Why Is green grass like a NOUS
Because the cattle eat it.
When is a note of hand like a rose.
bud? When it is matured by falling
due.
What did Jack Frost say when he
kissed the rose? Wilt thou? And it
wilted.
Why is a widow like a gardener?
Because she tries to get rid of her
weeds.
When is a man an herb? When long
experience has made him sage.
Why is asparagus like a dry ser
mon? The most enjoyable part is
the end.
Why is a young lady like a sheaf of
wheat? She is first Graded, then
thrashed, and finally becomes the flour
(flOwer) of the family.
What is the suns trade in the month
of May? Mason.
Why is a woman's age like a floral
bell? 1t is never told.
Why is the letter A like a honey.
suckle? Because a B follows it.
Why is an Easter lily a poor marks.
man? 1t shoots before it has pistils.

Paper Dolls at Dinners.

Can you make paper dolls? Has
any of that skill been left over from
the time when you used to make the
dolls in the green tissue paper skirt
go to see the wax doll who lived in a
grand house? If SO, you can use it
now. For the very latest thing in the
way of dinner decorations is the paper
doll. 1t insists in holding the place
card in front of each cover, and it
frequently aids in giving significance
to the favors. For instance, at a col
lege girls luncheon given not long
ago the favorS in front of each place
consisted of candy boxes done up in
crepe paper and sponsored by a paper
doll dressed in some %up-to-date cos
tune. The extreme styles of the pres
ent year are well adapted to variety
of arrangement and at this luncheon
the woman in the directoire coat and
the girl in the more widely discussed
sheath gown, the girl in the bathing
dress and the woman dressed for
bridge in her lace coat, all found
representation. Often the dolls used
are the jointed paper ones which have
long been such popular valentine and
Faster tokens.

GOOD CAUSE FOR A
Art Collector and lrritated Waiter
Had the Same Feelings.

A Chicago art dealer was talking
about the wrath of William T. Evans,
the New York collector upon whom
SO many bogus paintings have been
imposed.
He's awfully angry" said the art
dealer, REFRESHING a smile. Some of
his costliest pictures, you know, have
turned out fakes. His blood boils
when he thinks of the way he has
been duped.
He told me the other day that he
could hardly understand the rage that
possessed him against every petty lit
tie Insignificant dealer that had cheat
ed him. He said it was like the rage
of a waiter that he had noted one
afternoon at luncheon.
AT luncheon, Mr.. Evans said, he
called his walters attention to a dead
fly in some dish or other.
THE waiter, as he took the dish
away, muttered with a malevolent
look at the limp insect:
It'd give a two-dollar bill if | knew
for certain that this was the fly that's
been buzzing about my nose all the
morning"

Strictly Fresh Euus,

There are summer resorts, remote
from any agricultural communities,
where fresh farm products are even
harder to obtain than in the city. 1t
was at such a place that the new
boarder, who had eaten four or five
breakfasts there, began to wonder
why the eggs were invariably served
fried.
See here?" he inquired one morn
ing of the genial colored man who
waited upon him, why do you always
fry eggs here? Don't you ever boil
them?"
"Oh-oh, yes, sah!" responded the
waiter, pleasantly. "Of co'se, yo' kin
have EN- boiled, if yo' wants 'em. But
you know, sab, yo' takes de risk"

Dishonest Politician Gets Little Salts
faction from Promise.

Congressman Longworth, at a din
ner during the Republican convention
in Chicago, talked about honest poll
tics.
Honest politics alone pays in the
end" said he. Your dishonest poll
tician comes out like Lurgan of Gin
cinnati. Lurgan was canvassing for
votes. He dropped in at a grocer's.
"'Good morning. he said. I may
count on your support, hope"
"'Why, no, Mr.. Lurgan,' said the
grocer. I've promised my support to
your rival
"Lurgan laughed easily.
"'Ah, but, in politics. said he,
promising and performing are two
different matters
I'm that case said the grocer,
heartily, I shall be most happy to
give you my promise, Mr.. Lurgan.'"

New Short Skirts.

The exaggerated short skirt of last
season is now not tolerated, even in
the gown intended for general utility
and hard ear The skirt must entire
ly clear the ground and be quite even,
with the exception of being a trife
shorter in the back than in front-thi,
in order to obtain the becoming line.
Plated short skirts in all materials
still are considered fashionable, but
the plaits are very differently
placed, the side plating for the mo-
ment not being SO popular. There is
a becoming skirt with circular sides
and inverted box plaits in front and
back, and a new gored style, both of
which are popular. All lines are
straighter, apparently, and yet the
skirts must not hang in unbecomingly
straight lines. Such are a few of the
directions that are given out to pug
Zle womankind.

City Youngster Too Well Aware of the
WiIes of Grafters.

The baseball evangelist, the elo-
quent Billy Sunday, said during the
revival services at Sharon, Pa:
Keep good company. Nothing does
the young more harm than bad So
ciety. Only yesterday a farmer told
me about a youngster of six or seven,
a little country weeker, who had as
suspicious and mistrustful a heart as
some old miser or crook.
This boy was sent by a charity so
ciety to spend a week at the farmers.
The farmer set out to meet him, but
was late. He ran into him halfway
to the farm, trudging along the white
road, a big burlap bag of luggage on
his little bony shoulder.
The farmer held out his hands for
the burlap bag.

heavy for you

ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be-
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
Il had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as l then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
u lost flesh until I was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First 1 dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although l had little faith it would do
me any good.
But 1 continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person in every
way. l feel as if life had truly begun
new for me.
Il can eat anything 1 like now in
moderation, suffer no ill effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring 1 have been able to do it myself
all alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and a piece of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum. And I can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hours
work would have made me a year ago."

A collection of anecdotes of musical

contains this one under the head Of
Anton Rubinstein. When the great
pianist vas making his tour Of the
United States he sat one day in a
railroad train looking out upon the
scenery. Suddenly a man sitting

Her Reason.

Not long ago there was tried in an

in the principal witness, a woman liv-

to court only after several subpoenas
had been served Upon her.

ly brought before his honor, he said
in his severest tone:
What reason IA you assign,
madam, for disobeying the summons
of the COURT"
Il amt got none, ledge" answered
the woman, meekly, only we've got
