JUST WANTED TO SEE MONEY!.
Then Italian Woman Was Satisfied II
Was All Right.

"A savings bank is never a very
cheerful place. To one smiling young
matron putting aside the proverbial
nest egg" or, still more, smiling
young mothers depositing in trust for
the first baby, there are ten sad-faced
women in black, many of them with
widows wells.
This was especially true recently
when the panic sent anxious deposit
ors by the hundreds to draw out their
small savings, and it was therefore es-
pecially refreshing to see in thar
croWding somber line not Lola from
Berlin but Marguerite from Italy,
trim, brighteyed little woman with
scarlet handkerchief around her neck
and her uncovered, glossy, black locks
pulled and braided and curled as if
for an Inauguration ball.
She waited patiently--even cheer
fully-as slowly foot by foot she ap-
preached the paying teller's desk, but
1t was two o'clock before her turn
came. She began to look weary, but
she gave the wearier man behind the
little window II confiding smile as
she handed him her bank book AMI
said:
Il want it ALL
lie glanced at the book and count
ed out 1912 in one-dollar bills.
That mine!" gasped the little
woman.
The teller nodded.
She fingered the bills, looking more
puzzled. The woman behind her was
almost crying with Impotence. The
line swayed as if it had been row of
bricks and some one had hit the last
brick in the row. Still Marguerite
folded and unfolded the bills; she had
all the repose Of her native land.
You sure" she said at last. you
sure these all mine"
"All yours" the man answered, la
Conically.
Ordinarily he would have told her
she was blocking the line, but this
day he saw no objection to the delay
She venturcd one more question:
you sure these mine-these dollars?
thought | put in fivCs and tens"
These are all yours" he assured
her emphatically.
She flashed him n glimpse Of white
teeth.
"All right, then" she said, idiomat-
ically. "Tony-my mamie tell me
my money not here. He say, take it
all out | say: I go see"
Then untying the corner Of a red
handkerchief and taking from it a
five-dollar gold piece and several
grimy bills she added them to the pile
in front Of her and pushed the whole
toward the astonished bank official.

May Revive Glories Of Mukden.

Mukden, the chief city of central
Manchuria and the old capital of the
Chinese empire, is characteristic
Tartar-Chincse city Of about 100000
inhabitants. It's glory has largely de.
parted. There are some reports. how
ever, that It is the intention of the
Chinese government to Try to restore
something Of its lost Importance. It
is the headquarters of viceroy. The
temples, tombs, gateways and other
buildings. all venerable with age. at
once stamp the place as one Of the an
cient seats Of Tartar civilization. The
commercial importance of Mukden lies
almost entirely in the future. There
are hardly any foreigners in the
place; probably not over eight or ten.

Its Strongly Perfumed Waters Are
 Mauve In Color.
 "Grasse, clinging to its Alp, high above the Mediterranean, is supposed to give the stranger headache on &C., count of it's perfume" said perfumer. "Grasse makes the worlds perfumes. You see mountains of flowers there. as in a milling country you see noun tains of wheat The odor is powerful, but as far as headaches-no.
 But in the Caspian district there is a lake so strongly perfumed that if the stranger boats on 1t or swims in it he really gets a headache. This lakes banks are of white salt crystals, its waters are mauve in color, and from it m odor of violets is exhaled.
 "It is Lake Mangishlak. I visited it to see if I couldn't bottle it up and put it on the perfume market. No go.
 You see, it is the presence of the seaweed Polydcystia violacea that gives the lake its hue and smell. When you bottle the waters the seaweed at oms after a few days die and rot Then the odor changes from violet to -pah!
 But if you are ever in the Caspian visit the Mankishlak peninsula and take look at the lake. It is in its way as curious as the asphalt lakes of South America."-N Orleans Times-Demo- craf

The sum mentioned was raised in sub scriptions of a penny by his westmin- ster constituents. The note is indorsed with the name of the intrepid but Ill used salt and has inscribed on it a sentence in which he expresses the hope that one day be will prove his innocence and triumph over his se- cusers. That consummstion was not effected until eighteen years later. when he was rcinstated by William ".

If he sneers at "a woman's reason" he quotes Shake. speare; if be refers to "a trick worth two of that" he quotes Shakespeare again.

A COMETS TAIL.
The Way This Filmy Dust Train 10
 Tossed About by the Sun,

The Way This Filmy Dust Train 10
 Tossed About by the Sun.
 No bridal veil was ever so filmy as a comets tail. Hundreds of cubic miles of that wonderful appendage are out weighed by a jarful of air.
 By means of the spectroscope we have magically transported this fairy plume to our laboratories and have discovered that 1t is akin to the blue flame of our gas stoves; for the gas by which we cook and the delicate tresses of a comet both consist of com binations of hydrogen and carbon, ap- propriately called by chemists "hydro- cartoons"
 When it first appears in the heavens, far removed from the sun, comet is a tailless blotch of light.
 As comet swims on toward the sun the hydrocarbons of the tail split up under the increasing heat into hy- drogen gas and hydrocarbons of a higher boiling point. With still closer approach to the sun, these more resistant hydrocarbons eventually yield to the increasing heat and are decom- posed in the form of soot.
 Interplanetary space is airless; hence the soot cannot burn. It mu<t pursue the comet in the form of dust train. The particles constituting that train are small enough to be toyed with by the pressure of sunlight
 No matter where the comet may be in its orbit, whether it has just entered the solar system or is speeding away, that plume is inevitably tossed away from the sun, just as if mighty wind were blowing it from the central lu- minary.
 The appendage of shining dust is the symbol of the triumph of light over solar gravitation.-Harper's Magazine.
