"What makes your hair so white,

81 am very old. my dear; was in

painful disregard of the truth.
"Oh, you are Noah?'
"No."
"Are you Shem, them"
"No, | am not Shem."
"Are you Ham2"
"Nc."
"Then," said the little one. who was
fast nearing the limit Of her Biblical
knowledge, ''you must be Japheth."
A negative reply was given to this
query also, for the old gentleman In
wardly wondered what the outcome
would be.

COSTLY MATTRESSES.
The Kind That Are Used on the Big
Plato Glass WAGONS.

Probably about as costly q sort of
mattress as any Is one that Is made
not to sleep on at all, but to spread
on the long, broad table or platform Of
the wagons built for carrying plate
glass.
These mattresses, which are made of
curled hair, are very thin, scarcely
thicker than comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care 10 in.
sure perfect uniformity of thickness.
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate Of glass resting upon
1t, and there would be still greater
danger if the weight of two plates OF
glass was rested on the lump at once.
A mattress for plate glass wagon
costs, according to size, from $50 to
$75. In use the corners of smaller
plates carried on it cut into the tick
Ing covering and sooner or later it has
to be made over. Simply TO make over
such mattress costs from 500 to $50.
On the table topped and mattress
covered glass wagons the biggest
plates are carried with confidence and
safety. The table is built to remain
absolutely rigid. and the thin but uni.
form mattress protects the plate from
jar
Before plate glass store fronts had
come into common use, when the han
ding of big plate was counted as a
good deal more of Il job than it is now,
they used TO carry a great pane of
glass In sort of frame, which was
put OH the wagon with the glass i'm ii.
At its destination this frame or sup
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk TO the store front, where the
glass was dislodgcd from it to be set,
and altogether the setting of n great
plate of glass was then quite an un-
dertaking.
Now. with the setting of such plates
common daily occurrence and with
men skilled in the handling of them,
they simply carry big plate out and
lay 1t on their mattress covered table
topped wagon and carry it to where
II is TO 50 and there slide ii off, to rest
It for n moment on blocks on the side
walk, and then they pick it up and
carry it 20 the window front.
Then they run under the lower edge
of the glass lifting straps, by which
men standing inside the window as
well as men standing outside can lift
on it when the glass is put into place
In the window frame. There again it
is raised on blocks until the straps can
be withdrawn, and then the blocks are
taken out ana the glass secured I'm
place. all sis being done with great
care. but still with comparative ease
and Quickness and with certainty. and
In these times great panes of glass
are thus moved and set on al, but the
windiest days. s.-Cleveland Plalu Dealer

WHEN FASTING Is FATAL.
-oos of Weight Below a Certain Poir
Brinus Death

During a long fast the daily loss OF
weight becomes gradually less and less
Death comes when The total loss hiss
reached a certain percentage, which
percentage varies with the original
weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps two
tifths.
A man or woman OF rather spare
habit, weighing l43 pounds, could
therefore, lose about ifty-Gve pounds
before succumbing. Heart action, res.
plration and blood pressure remain I'm.
altered during starvation. but the TEN
perature of the body falls nearly de
gree In most cases The secretion of
gastric juice ceases, but saliva and bile
are still formed The duration of life
depends upon the extent and activity
of the physiological processes.
Children die after Il fast of from
three to five days, during which they
have lost quarter of their weight
Healthy adults, however, have tasted
sixty days when water has been taken
A German physician notes the case
of woman, aged forty-scven, who
died after Il fast Of forty-threc days,
during which she drank water freely
Her weight, which was l43 pounds a
year before her death. was reduced TO
ninety nine pounds. 1t was n case Of
suicidal melanchola, and the woman
patiently carried out her horrible un-
dertaking SO quietly as to scarcely at
tract the notice of her family ana died
at last calmly and peacefully without
complaint or apparent evidence of suf
fering.

WRITE IN SECRET.
The Way Chinese Court Historians Do
Thoir Work.

There are court historians in China
rs there are I'm other countries. but
there is one striking difference, and 1t
lies in the fact that the work of the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the reigning dynasty
comes TO an end
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe NEST
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
valorous rulers and the real signifi-
canoe of the events which take place
during their regime. They can write
what they please without fear OF cen
sure, for they know that their work
will not be published as long as the
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historian
having been appointed 10y the impe-
rial house of Han. which rcigned from
206 II. c. until - A. ID.
The duty of these historians is to
write plain accounts OF all the events
that occur during their tenure Of Of
fee At regular intervals their COM
pleted work is taken from them and is
locked up in an iron safe or vault
There II remains until the first mem.
Der of new dynasty ascends the
throne.
II Is then given with all the other
histories I'm the vault 10 the court
historian. who Is then living. and from
the mass Of documents he is expected
TO prepare truthful history of the
dynasty which has just expired
