able indebtedness to her they
would wear mourning bands on
their arms for 80 days and get
extra allowances from their hus-
bands and fathers and brothers
TO raise a glorious monume MT
over her bones. Ali the women's
clubs, too, from GAINESVILLE to
Zanzibar would drape their halls
and put suitable resolutions of
their great loss on their minutes.
Mrs. Osborn invented the fem
inine shirtwaist.
According to the consensus of
feminine opinion no single article
of feminine decoration has ever
equaled the shirtwaist. 1t is at
once the most comfortable, the
most becoming and the most
adaptable article in my lady's
wardrobe. 1t is capable of be-
ing drawn out to any extent
like an accordion. 1t is formal
and it's informal, and every.
thing that lies between. 1t is
suitable Tor anything from a
seance with the cooking stove
to reception at the Gotrocks
with a footman at the front door
Its genesis was simple. Mrs.
Osborn saw her husbands soft
shirts and envied them. From
that, as one who has a surface
knowledge of the sex will testify,
it was but step to annexation.
Mas. Osborn went to the man
who supplied her husband and
told him that she wished a halt
dozen shirts built on tine regu
lation masculine working plans
save slight divergencies here and
there and with decided cuTtail-
ment in their length. He de-
INJURED she insisted, and she
won.
She wore them herself; she
gave them TO her patrons, for
she was the most famous Dress
maker in New York, and from
them sprung the millions of shirt
waists thst have covered and
made attractive the women OF
the world.
Mrs. Osborn was wonderful
woman In many ways. With no
experience and only the necess ty
for action to inspire her, she left
the ranks Of New York's -Four
Hundred and with only $500
to start with, built up business
that took an entire building, en-
ployed $50 persons, and enabled
her to leave an estate of fully
half million.
This was her material rev ard
but the shirtwaist, to shift il
from its proper place for mon
ument, was her crown of glory

Computing Tape Measure.

A computing tape measure, which
provides a simple and convenient
means for a%scertaining weights and
measures without employing calcula-
tons Of any kind, is shown in the IL
l%ustration below. 1t is especially use
full in determining the weight per foot
of tubes, pipes, bars and rods. The
computing measure Is formed by two
or more tapes, arranged side by side.
The one shown here, to be used In
a~scertaining the weights of pipes,
has two tapes, one containing figures
to indicate the diameters of the pipe
and the other the weights per foot OF
pipes of different diameters. The
measure is used as follows:
To ascertain the weight per foot of
a pipe having an internal diameter
2% inches and an external diameter
2B inches, the upper tape is drawn
out until the figures 2$ appear at
the edge of the slot. Both tapes are
then drawn out together until the
figures 2 Is representing the external
diameter Of the pipe or tube, appear
on the upper tape. The weight per
foot is indicated by the figure IN the
lower tape directly below the figures

solid or cylindrical rod, both tapes are

ASLEEP UNDER WATER.
One of the Funny Incidents Possible
in a Divers Life.

AS showing how much at home a
man may be to-day under water, 1
may relate an amusing story. Some
months ago, while the great battle
ship Dreadnought was at Malta, n
of the seamen divers went down to
clear her propeller from some fot-
sam that had become entagled, and
he failed to come up. 1t CHANGED
that the rest of the battleship's div.
ers were ashore, and grave concern
was felt on the ironclad for the miss
ing worker. Signals by telephone
and lifeline were sent below, without
avail. In the launch above the throb,
throb of the air pumps cylinders
went on, but the attendants looked
at one another. in dismay, fearing
some strange tragedy deep down in
those heaving green seas.
The worst was feared when some
big brushes and other tools came
floating to the surface, and thereupon
the navigating lieutenant sent ashore
an urgent message for one of the
other divers. The man came on
board, dressed Immediately. and went
below, only to come up full of indig-
nation.
why, that fellows been asleep all
this time!" he said, wrathfully. 1T
was true. The man had just had his
lunch, and finding the work much
less serious than he had thought, he
finished it in a few minutes and then
sat comfortably on one of the giant
blades of the Dreadnought's propel-
Ter and went to sleep, with inquisi-
tive fishes swarming around him, at
tracted by the dazzling searchlight
on his breast! The officers were so
amused at the occurrence that NJ

FIND CHRISTIAN
CHURCHES IN EGYPT.
Existed Two or Three Centuries
After Death of Christ is Opinion
Of ArchaeoiogiStS.

News received from DR.. David Ran
dali MacIver's archaeological expedi-
tion to Egypt has thrown scientific
circles at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, Philad elphia, into a hutter OF
excitement, for the director OF the
,xpedition, in the report just received,
discoveries hardly less m
p~ortant than those which he made at
Anibeh early in January.
While in the north Of Egypt, early
In February, DR.. MacIver discovered
several Christian churches of q date
within two or three centuries after
the death of Christ. These ancient
sanctuaries of the earliest adherents
of the then despised Christian sect
were carefully cleared of the heaps
of desert sand which have covered
them during the lapse of centuries.
The members of the expedition then
made careful maps and photographs
of the shrines. 1t is thought at the
university that when these maps and
pictures are published much will be
added to the little amount Of knoWl-
edge antiquarians possess regarding
the churches and the modes of Wor-
ship of the earliest Christians out
side of the city of Rome.
As a rival to the famous Cleopatra
vase discovered at Anibeh, which is
now carefully boxed up in Cairo,
awaiting shipment to the university
museum, Dr.. MacIver discovered, in
a little known locality near the Sec
ond cataract of the Nile, a number OF
marvellously carved capitals of co..
umns and a cornice s%culptured with
the heads of the Royal Draeus. This
snake was the emblem of the ancient
Egyptian monarchy. The columns
and the cornice are similar to the
sculptures of Philae, and are of the
same period, but are said to be in
perfect condition. DR.. MacIver be-
lieves that these newly discovered
pieces of architecture represent the
finest works of their class in exist
! ence, and for beauty Of design and
execution he say they rival some OF
the work on some of the most famous
of the Grecian temples.
DR.. MacIver left Anibeh, the scene
of his earlier discoveries, on January
Is, leaving half of his party there to
continue the excavations in charge of
his assistant, DR.. Wooley. After max
ing a careful study Of the Middle
Empire forts and towns of Mirgeshich
and Behn. near Wady Halfa, the party
began working northward. Owing to
the great success of the expedition,
DR.. MacIver may stay in Egypt longer
than was at first expected. In his
latest report he expressed doubt as
to whether he will bring his expedi-
ton home before the early part of
next year.

The Use of Petroleum in Printing.

The employment of petroleum in
stead of spirits of turpentine is ever
becoming more common. In fact a
considerable economy is realized by
use of petroleum to clean the rollers,
linking table, forms, machines, etc.
The following is a process given by
L'Imprimerie to remove the charac-
teristic and unpleasant odor from
petroleum: Mix two per cent. chlorid
of lime with the petroleum and add
a little hydrochloric acid; then shake
briskly to distribute the chlorin pro-
duced uniformly in the liquid. Pour
out the mixture into another vessel
containing quick-lime and again
agitate, SO that the lime can remove
all trace Of Chlorin. Let rest, and
the petroleum will be quite free
from odor.-B!'tish and Colonial
Printer and StatiOner.

Or do you sail farther and far away
In an angry sea with a sullen sky?
Do you come nearer the Ought-to-be
In the wagon you hitched to a distant
star?
Or do YOU drift on hopelessly,
Content to bide with the Thinss,that-
are?
Are YOU a Drone or a Do-it-now?
4 Hurry-up or a Walt-a-whlle?
A Do-it-so or an Anyhow!
A Cheer-up-boys or a Never-smile?

For you are the captain and mate and

Are you a Yes or a Maybe-so?
Are you a Will or a Guess: youll-be!
A C~ome-on-lads or a Let s-not-go?
A Yes-I-will or an Oh-lll.see!
It isn't the least concern OF NINE,

When they thresh the wheat and store the

You'll find it's a big concern of yours.
