Treatise en- Ethics of Dress.

A little circular purporting to eluci-
date Dress Ethics for Mems Wear. -
has drifted into this office and is being
studied with the earnestneSs and ADAM
don that bevy Of editors invariably
bestow upon so engrossing a topic. If
there is anything on top of ground in
which the average editor is anious to
post himself. ii is the particular brand
of dress ethics which he is TO wear in
order to meet the demands OF fashion.
He knows all about the plain or garden
sort of ethics, to be sure, and demon
strates il in nearly editorial that he
writes. but with molding public senti-
ment, and the other tasks which fall to
his lot, he is usually too busy to look
up dress ethics for wear. In fact. the
same old coat and trousers sometimes
do year after year. and he often be-
comes so attached to them that he new
er even thinks of adding ethics to his
costume, although as all the world
knows ethics are heap cheaper than
clothes.
Inc pamphlet here considered (Which
Is copyrighted. by the way) is just the
thlng TO help him out on ali those occa-
SONS IN which an editor or newspaper
man is likely to participate. It tells
rlght down TO the socks what he is to
wear as FORMAL evening dress, semi
formal evening dress and day dress,
formal and semi-formal. It gives him
satorial schedule for business, for
funerals and weddings. It tells him
how TO get himself up when motoring
or riding on horseback, and furnishes a
plain chart OF the clothes he is to wear
in q balloon or an aeroplane, or when
going over the golf links. 1t even likes
him up for baseball, bowling. tennis
and other sports. 1t is one of the most

Most Curious Flower Known t
Scientists.

Through the gift of a friend who Wis
ted the remote region where it grows.
Herman Silver of Los Angeles has come
into the possession of specimen of the
strangest and rarest flower known to
scientists. states the Los Angeles
Times.
1t is the rose of hell" a gigantic
blossom of solid wood. which grows
only on the edges of Central Anleri-
can volcano and gets it's name from the
Indians, who believe the crater is the
entrance of hell and the blossom ma
tive of the regions inside.
Mr.. Silver's specimen is one of few
that have ever been brought to this
country, and perhaps the finest. AT first
appearance it seems to be a tough.
gnarled knot of tree which has been
splintered. but closer examination dis
closes the fact that ii has petals of
wood and bark and the rough outlines
of a flower.
The petals. concave in form. are ar
ranged much like the petals of half
blown rose. Their inside surfaces arc
covered with fine lines which have the
delicacy OF fine hand carving. The
stem. which is about a foot long, Is of
some unusual wood which is light and
strong. 1t is covered with heavy bark.
which seems to have been cracked by
heat.
Both flower and stem arc dark brown
the color Of weather beaten boughs-

TOYS IN EGYPTIAN T0MBS.

None of the chapters in Professor
Maspero's popularity written volume,
New Light on Ancient Egypt" eXcels
the concluding one for interest and sug-
gestive thought. He there deals with
the toys that have been found from
time to time in Egyptian tombs, de-
scribing exactly what they are like,
and indicating the purpose they were
intended to serve. Playthings to all
appearance. they were not playthings
for the dead.
The Egyptians ideal on earth was to
possess a home. land, slaves and con-
cubines. for the ownership of which
they were indebted to none but them
selves The little painted dolls and the
miniature houses that were inferred
with the dead procured a paradise in
which their dreams were realized. The
belief was that the dolls would come
and women, and that the houses would
expand to their normal size-all by
some miraculous interposition.
During the early periods of Egyptian
civilization the right 10 a future life
could be claimed only by the extremely
wealthy The lives of many women,
children, slaves and animals had to be
sacrificed to accompany the double
into the other world. The descendants,
overcome with grief, but chary of the
cost, substituted for these expensive
victims statues representing each of
them at his craft. the women grinding
the corn, the baker at his kneading
trough, the cellarer sealing up his wine
jars, the mOurner beating his forehead
and cutting his face

Not the Appendix.

The friend of a we'll known United
States senator was stricken i'll sud-
denly the other day and rushed off to
a hospital. The case was hurriedly
diagnosed as acute appendicitis, and
the senator was notified that an oper-
alton would in all probability be per
formed at once.
The senator Immediately prepared to
send note of coincidence and encour-
agement to the patient. when q second
message arrived informing him that
the original diagnosis was incorrect
and that the case was merely one Of
acute indigestion. The senator changed
his mind about the letter of condo
lence and instead sent the following;
II rejoice that the trouble resulted
from the table of contents and not the
appendix.

Be Ready.

The branches are gray and the hillside
The leaves are asleep in the blankets
so warm:
But the song-sparrow tits on a rail by
the roadside,
And sings with will to the gathering
storm;
The clover is coming, I know it, l
know it,
The g!asshoppers chirp and the
honey hum;
There's a nest TO be built in the apple
tree branches.
Be ready for summer, and summer
will come.
The green grass is creeping along by
the broobside,
Nor ventures TO spread Ger the desc
late hill
The corn-field is covered with stub
BILE of autumn:
The pillow in the farmyard is idle AMI
still:
The crow in his flight is blown over the
tree tops,
But blithely he caws in the forest so
SeTe:
The good time is coming. I feel it,
feel it.
Be ready for plenty, and soon twill
be here
The brooklet is laughing its way
through the pebbles.
Through dark the reflection its gray
pool receives
The frog shrilly chirping, the wood
pecker tapping
The bluebirds are flashing through
pale. withered leaves:
The message is here, and itlnever has
failed us.
When JOY somes at last shall the
woodland be dumb?
Let us welcome the violets, soon to be
blooming.
Be ready for sunshine and sunshine
will come"
