FAMOUS RIDDLE.

Here is the famous riddle by Bishop
Wilberforce: am a singular piece
of mechanism, as all allow. I have
a chest; two lids; two musical in
struments number of articles in
dispensable to carpenter; two lofty
trees two good fish; a number of
small animals, swift and shy two
playful animals anumber of weather
cocks two established measures; two
implements of war; whips without
handles the steps Of a hotel the
sides of vote fine flowers fruit /;
two scholars; two places of worship /;
ten Spanish noblemen a way out of
difficulty; poor bed; a desert
place: a probable remark of Nebu-
chadnezzar when eating grass.
The answer to this strange riddle
is the Human Body, which has a
chest, two eyelids, two (ear) drums,
nails, palms, soles, muscles, hart,
hares, calves, vanes, feet, hands,
arms, lashes, innsteps, ayes and noes,
tulips, Adams apple, pupils, temples,
ten dons, cheek, pallet, waste, (eye-
broWSe) IT browse"

An occasional temporary red blindness is the
singular defect in his own color sense reported
by G. r. Gibson to the Royal Philosophical So
ciety of Glasgow. At times he fails to perceive
the red in an object, but at once perceives the
true color when his attention is called to and
concentrated upon it. His color vision other
wise is quite normal.

THE ARMY DEsERTER.

"The most persistently trailed law
breaker in the United States today is
the deserter from the army said
captain of the United States army.
From the time he is found miss.
ing at the post where he is stationed
until the inevitable hour when an
officer of any of dozen different fed.
eral and civic denominations lands
him in custody be is a criminal mark
ed for punishment, and he is shrewd
indeed if he escapes.
"Four ffths of the deserters are for
eign born and professional army de-
serters with bad records left behind
them in Europe. These men, as /
understand it, deserted from armies
in the old countries, came here in
search of work, didn't get anything
to suit them and joined our forces
only to get tired and want to quit
again. What they get in the end is
term in the guard-house or in the
national prison for bad soldiers.
Beside the chances of an escaping
soldier to get away from his punish
ment that of an ordinary Jail breaker,
bounded by civil officers, is baga-
telle. In the first place, soldier in
or out of uniform is soldier in habits
and carriage, with the telltale step
and mannerisms of the service. The
lockstep of the state prison will wear
away because it is only an incidental
of prison life, and the convict doing
time can do it more or less perfectly,
according to his inclination or the
watchtulness of the guard, but the
whole life of the soldier is soldering,
and he can never get away from it.
Now, turn a man SO marked out
in the world with fifty dollar reward
on his head and send to every village
postofice, police station, constable,
sheriff and United States marshal in
the whole country his accurate de-
scription and picture of him in two
attitudes and you have placed him in
the predicament of the deserving SOL
der and narrowed his chances to an
infnitesimal bit of progress within
fifty miles from the starting point
without arrest"
The captain said that more money
was probably spent by the govern
ment in advertising a deserter than
the reward of $50 offered for his cap
ture. Washington Herald.

RArNWATER FoR TEE TorIEr.

Among the bellies of the last gener-
alton rainwater only was used for
bathing the face, and, perhaps, this
is the chief secret of the exquisite
compilations for which they were no.
ted. For there is no balm on earth
for the skin so cleansing, healing and
identifying as clean, fresh rainwater.
If possible, the hair, too, should be
washed in it, as it tends to promote
its growth and soften the locks, while
at the same time promoting their
growth by thoroughly cleansing the
scalp. In many of the more remote
country districts of the South, espe-
cially the mountainous sections, no
other hair tonics are known than rain
water and "sheep's Dip" Yet, no.
where is the hair SO literally a wo-
mans browning glory" as among
the people Of these regions. To those
who live in the country, or in small
towns, supply of fresh rainwater is
easily arranged for. Many a city
roof, too, may be SO adapted that one
pipe is short enough to permit bucket
standing under it.
An excellent cask for keeping the
stale rainwater to be used upon the
face in healthy condition is made in
this way:
Set the cask or barrel on end, take
out its head and at distance of about
one-third from the bottom, put in
false bottom pierced with holes. This
shelf is then covered with a layer of
clean small pebbles, over which
quantity of charcoal made from wood
or bones and fine sand should be laid
to the depth of an inch, and this is
then covered with another layer of
clean pebbles. Over this filtering
shelf another must be placed, pierced
also with holes to prevent the water
above rushing out too fast and dis
turbing the sand, charcoal and pebble
bed below. At the bottom of the
barrel tap is placed to draw off the
water as wanted, and except when
taking on new supply of its beauti-
flying fluid the rainwater barrel must
be kept tightly closed. When using
the water upon the face or hands
have it only little over blood warm
never cold or boiling hot-and for
cleansing purposes use pure hygi-
enic tar or CASTLE soap. Cheap soaps
are most harmful to the skin. In
fact, it is poor judgment that econo-
mics on a face soap, for tenth of
the price spent on repairing the dam
age of bad one will buy soap guar
anteed the world over for purity.

OLD MAIDS INSURANCE.

A company has been organized in
Copenhagen, Denmark, to insure and
reassure young women who dread be-
coming old maids. A girl who takes
out a policy pays fixed sum every
year. If she finds a husband before
she reaches the age of 40 she is pre-
sumed to have received her moneys
worth and the policy lapses, the sums
she has paid in going to general
fund for the benefit of her less fortu-
nate sisters. Ifshe is unmarried when
she is 40 she begins to receive an an
nual pension, which continues through
the rest of her life, or until she mar
ries.

A quite unusual test has been made of glass
chimneys from the glass works at Baccarat,
France. They were designed for safety in coal
mines containing much fire-damp, and when ten
of them were suddenly plunged into water at
500 F. after being slowly heated to the boiling
point of water, not one of them cracked.

she and her assistants are eagerly
sought after Miss Caret has a de-
cidedly pleasing window. on the left is
a figure with lovely turban of brown,
touch of pink ribbon
and pompom of the same shade make
the contrast a delightful one. In the
center is large basket of grapes OF
all varieties and in the evening 1t
sheds a soft glow of light from red
globe concealed therein. On the right
the figure wears a large black velvet
hat with two exquisite Willow plumes
gracefully dropping on the left side.
There are many combinations this sea-
son. Wistaria and Catawba are made
up in both small and large hats and
some of the prettiest models seen for
a long time are of the new shade of
green which is on the olive tint. Tur-
bans and Tricornes are to be gen.
orally worn and great many orders
are on hand for the season. The
rooms of Miss Caret are pleasingy
decorated and the window is simply
but very tastefully arranged with a
color scheme of reseda green.

PLEASING TRIBUTE.
New Jersey Man Gives Credit t.
Maine School for Feeble Minded.

The following letter received from a
former Maine man who is now in an
other state, is interesting and pays a
well deserved tribute to the institution
mentioned:
One month ago I made a visit to the
Maine School for Predetermined"
Possibly it may interest some of your
readers to know how it compares with
other schools of similar character.
I have visited institutions for the
feeble minded, public and private, in
England, France, Belgium. Germany,
Austria. Switzerland, and Italy. | have
visited nearly ali of the State institu-
tons east of the Mississippi river.
have seen nothing that will surpass the
Maine school, if Dr. Bliss carries out
his comprehensive, up-to-date, and
Thoroughly practical plan, as / believe
he will
The State of Maine is to be congratu-
lated,-Eirst, that it has begun this
work: Second, that it's Governor and
Courcl selected Board of Trustee;
for the new institution who We're 50
profoundly wise as to select for super
intendent an expert. q man trained to
such q man, they require him to plan
an institution that will be adequate to
its purpose and will put the state of
Maine in the forefront in the solution
of the problem of the feeble minded.
The location is splendidly chosen, the
acreage is liberal. the water supply
ample. and the possibility of sewage
disposal all that could be desired.
DR.. Bliss, the superintendent has a
keen appreciation Of his problem, and
has planned the buildings ard equip
ment in a thoroughly up-to-date and
mastery manner.
The first law for the treatment of the
fGehle-minded is to make them happy
and DR.. Bliss knows how to do this to
perfection, and the new institution will
not only be a credit to the State but il
Will contain the happiest group of pco-
pie to be found in the State
If some one thinks it is expensive, let
MIN reflect that every child that is
cared for there is possibly saved from
jail. There he is trained to work; 9TH
erw1se, he might lead a life of crime,
certainly of usalessness. There he is
happy, otherwise, despised and mser-
able. Cost what it will, such an instl-
tuition is the best investment the state
can have
AS native of the State and some
what cognizant of the problems of the
feeble-mlnded, | am proud of the work
done at Pownal. When DR.. Bliss.
plans are all worked out, Maine will
again have verified her motto DIRIGO.
Yours very truly.

Surely there is no need of any wo-
man failing to get a hat to suit her
this Fall for the show rooms are filled
with lovely things for wOmens wear.
Mrs. c.. NJ. Wheelers rooms on Water
street were filled with admiring throngs
all day Yesterday for it was The Occa-
sion of her annual three days Fall
on display The able corps of assist
ants helped Mrs Wheeler to show the
hats and admirinG comments We're
heard on every hand. One creation
which called forth a great deal of
praise was a large black hat trimmed
simply with black ribbon and black
and yellow wings q daring combina-
ton, but effective ard becoming to
many. There are marvellous combina-
tions of color and some of the favorites
are the many styles of turbans, one
of black and white with a tiny aigrette
is but a type of the many shown.
Stunning effects in green and blue,
and blue and silver are shown.
The rooms are attractively decorated
with streamerS of white and vases of
flowers are placed at vantage points
one hat shown is Il combination of
light and dark green pat together skill
fully by cunning hands. Hats are very
large or rather small, either is in fash
ion and Mrs. Wheeler has n stock of
charming models which she is very
glad to show at any time.
