Coat Made From Looms Breasts.

The breasts of 365 looms made into
a coat. That is the strange garment
shown in the window of downtown

little of the history of the coat ex'

hibited in the window.
The company is sending the coat
around to be shown in its various

its possession | do not know.
The breast of a loon is about four
inches square and each bears white

Proper Use of Curling Irons.

The use of curling irons that are, too
hot is a great source of injury to the
hair. They should be used only warm,
and held in the hair until the moisture
is entirely dried out, then the process
produces a lasting curl. A properly
heated iron will also promote rapid
growth, as the warmth acts upon the
hair as the sun does upon plant life.

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS.

You all know the rhyme, but have
you ever heard what it really means?
The four-and-twenty blackbirds rep
resent the four-and-twenty hours.
The bottom of the pie is the world,
while the crust is the sky that over
arches it. The opening of the pie
is the day dawn, when the birds be-
sin to sing, and surely such sight
is fit for king.
The king, who is represented as
sitting in his parlor counting out
his money, is the sun, while the gold
pieces that slip through his fingers
as he counts them are the golden
sunbeams. The queen, who sits in
the dark kitchen, is the moon, and
the honey with which she regales her
self is the moonlight.
The Industrious maid, who is in
the garden at work before her king,
the sun, has risen, is day dawn, and
the clothes she hangs out are the
clouds. The birds, that so tragically
end the song by "nipping off her
nose" the sunset. So we have the
whole day, if not in a nutshell, in
pie.-Home Herald.

CLIMBING A CLIFF.

Major John w. Powell, whose right
arm was shot off during the Civil
War, undertook and brought to sue
cessful issue one of the most daring
feats of modern times. While max
ing his explorations of the canons of
the Colorado River in 1869, says the
author of "The Masters of Fate" he
was called upon to face great dangers
and tolls. His own account OF his
explorations gives some idea of the
difficulties encountered.
I have a barometer on my back.
which rather impedes my climbing.
The walls of the fissure are of smooth
limestone, offering neither foot nor
hand hold, so 1 support myself by
pressing my back against one wall
and my knees against the other, and
in this way lift my body, in shutting
manner, few feet at time, until
have, perhaps, made twenty-five feet
ems a little, and I cannot press my
knees against the rocks in front with
sufficient power to give me support in
lifting my body, and try to go back,
This cannot do without falling. So
l struggle along sidewise, farther into
the crevice, where it narrows.
I find I can get up no farther, and
cannot get back, for 1 dare not let go
with my hand, and cannot reach foot
hold below. l call to Bradley for
help; he cannot reach me. Then he
looks round for some stick or limb of
a tree, but finds none. The moment
is critical Standing on my toes, my
muscles begin to tremble. If I lose
my hold l shall fall to the bottom,
and then perhaps roll over on the
bench and tumble still farther down
the cliff.
At this instant it occurs to Bradley
to take off his trousers, which he
does, and swings them down to me.
1 hug close to the rock, let go with
my hand, seize the dangling legs, and
with his assistance am enabled to
get to the top.

Making Others Happy.

A mother, who was in the habit OF
tired for the night, what they had
done that day to make others happy,
found her twin daughters silent.

only that one of my schoolmates
was happy because she had gained

The other spoke still more timidly:

looked up and put her arms around

THE KING GETS THE MOST.

THE hlNG GE i . lHE MoOl.
If this game is played out of doors
a larse bowl or basket full of small
pebbles will do; indoors a bowl OF
small white beans or peanuts would
do. This bowl is placed at an equal
distance from the equally divided
party. There is a captain on each
side: He or she says: "The king is
he who gets the most. One, two:

run to the bowl, grasp as many peb'
