KNOX.

NNS<.
The action OF the United States
Senate several days ago removing
Senator knox's ineligibility for po'
sition in Mr.. Taft's cabinet. which
on Monday last was concurred in by
the House CT Representatives,. was
most extraordinary proceeding. TIL"
incident has neither a parallel no: a
precedent in American history.
Besides the startling proposition to
nullify a section OF the United States
constitution by legislative act. the
House itself pursued a parliamentary
course which, II not unprecedented.
was at least unusual
Operating under a suspension OF the
rules, the resolution adopted by the
Senate in Mr.. KnOx's behalf was put
upon Its passage in the House and
failed of adoption because it did not
receive the requisite two thirds vote.
This was an altogether unexpected
catastrophe. in as much as the meas
ure had uninterruptedly glided down
the we'll tallowei Senate ways. Ac-
cordins to the generally observed Gus
toms in the House. this vote should
have ended the matter.
But the committee on rules. OF
which Speaker Cannon is the chair
man, hurriedly got. together. retired
to IN inner chamber and later Mr..
Dalzell, the speakers trusted !ieuten-
ant, reported special rule making
1t in order for the House to again
take up the bill and act upon II under
conditions which would require only
a majority to pass 1t.

action received support from both
sides Of the chambcr-a minority OF

reflected in the medal which Augustus
struck to commemorate his conquest
Of Egypt, with the crocodile chained
to a tree, and the proud legend. N
one has bound me before"
If in Egypt they bound the croc-
odile at all it seems to have been with
sarlands of flowers and chains of
gold and gems, a proceeding which
interested the crocodile only in so far
as it offered a chance for a s%ucculent
garlander coming within reach. The
promiscuous qualification, which was
shared with such t'ings as cats and
beetles, was after all but an indiffer-
emit compliment, nor even so was 1t
seemingly universal among the
Egyptians. "Those about Thebes and
Lake Moeris consider them to be very
sacred, but the people
whe dwell about the city of Elephan-
tina eat them" Which fairly re-
dressed the balance; but we must
conjecture that whether for worship
or for the table the ~crocodiles were
caught young.-London Times.

What Your Eyebrows Tell.


People who have traits they want
to hide are In more and more danger
every day. Ways of reading char
acter are multiplying alarmingly.
Now appears a cI.teer German who
says the eyebrows zee an unerring
indication of a persons temperament
and disposition. Lightly marked eye
brows, lying high above the nose,
show a weak nature and an inclina-
ton to avoid work
Dark eyebrows indicate strength,
and patience as we'll, while light eye
brows are rarely see in people whose
minds are keen and sharp. though
the color of the eyebrow doesn't INST
ter as much as the shape. ,
That highly arched eyebrows de-
note a sensitive temperament has al
ways been known, but the general
belief that they are the sign of SUI
perior intelligence is not, says the
German character reader, a true one.
Thin eyebrows show lack Of vital
ity, and bushy ones almost always go
with great virility. If you see a wo-
man with heavy eyebrows meeting
above the nose, you may trust in her;
such eyebrows in a woman, says the
German. spell sincerity.-New York
World.

handsome and attractive and there
are also many sturdier" printed :inex-
pensive wash fabrics that are equally
appropriate, for trimming can be
varied to suit the needs of the special
material. The chemisette being sep
arate, can be made of anything in
contrast, and pongee in the natural
color with chemisette either of lawn
or net, makes IN exceedingly service
able, practical and smart blouse. If
the long, close sleeves r not liked.
those in three-Quarter length with
rolled-over cuffs can be substituted.
The blouse is made with fronts and
back, which are tucked becomingly.
It Is finished with hens at the front
edges and with a Dutch collar at the
neck edge. The sleeves are made in
one-piece each, whatever their length.
The chemisette is separate and closed
at the back.
The quantity Of material required
for the medium size is four yards

Polishing by Hot Air.

The marvels of friction are infinite.
The use of the sand blast for polish
ing metals is quite a recent invention,
and now it is followed by that of a
blast of simple hot air. 1t is the We
locity that gives the polishing power.
The articles to be treated are placed
in a basket in a centrifugal machine
driven at a very high speed and
heated air is blown from 4 pipe
through the basket. A high polish is
thus produced very rapidly.
Nickel plated articles that have be
come furnished are made bright in a
few minutes. Wet metal fresh from
the bath needs no preliminary dry
ing, for the current of air dries and
polishes at the same moment. 1t is
only necessary to so pack the articles
that the air reaches them or all sides.

Shirt Waist or Blouse.

The tailored shirt waist Is always
needed. It fills a place that no other
garment supplies. This n is tucked
most becomingly and is adapted to
flannel, MORE and pongee as we'll aa
to linen and cotton waistings. In the
illustration it is made Of butchers
linen and is finished with simple
tailor stitching. If a fancy or more
dainty waist were wanted, 1t could
be made Of embroidered pique or OF
fancy muslin with the tucks sewed by
hand. 1t can be utilized for the shirt
waist gown, too, made from cashmere
or other simple seasonable material.
The waist consists Of fronts and
back. 1t is finished with the regula
ton box pleat at the front, and thu
