VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because Of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem.

must tell all my brothers how my
wife and l have solved he problem
which so bothers those who dwell
where there is but little closet room.
With one dressing case between us.
there was not room for ell our things.
AS to the closets, they were crammed
full. and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. So l purchased
another dressing case.
| then took all my clothes. when
had been c%rowding my wife's In her
dressing cas- and arranged them ID
my own. In the top drawer l put my
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles Of finery
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer | placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers. neatly folded.
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted. as it gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat.
But in a day or so the new plan
proved to have a few defects. so at my
wife's suggestion l emptied n OF the
upper drawers in my dresser. putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep-
tacle for a few Of her jabots. scarfs.
etc. The second day 1t was decided
that my shirts and trousers could &C.
cupy the same drawer. the lowest one.
4t,i~ -x,c, G-nl crJ snto tho Sarnnd
drawer my wife moved a few of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that l was still using
too much space, l permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, etc..
thus giving her both of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav-
ing me plenty Of room in the one bot
ton drawer.
Since then. however. | have found
that l do not require so much space
for my few things. so have taken them
out of the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box. which l keep
under the bed. thereby giving my
wife all the drawers in my dressing
case. l find the present arrangement
very satisfactory. as all l have to do
now is to empty the hat box on the
bed when l want anything in it and
then. when l have made my selection.
sweep the other articles back into
place.
In this way l have solved the dress
ing case problem. and everything Is
quite pleasant in our home.-Paul West

ARAB E%NcAMPMENTs.
The Crowded Tents In Which the
Shepherd Warriors Live.

Arabs are true ~Ishmaelites. Their
life Is a constant wandering. They
live entirely on the produce Of their
herds. Their tents are quickly taken
down or put up and easy of transport.
They are made of camel's hair. loosely
woven. supported on poles or long guy
ropes. They protect the occupants from
the hot sun. but not from the rain.
and in winter the encampments are
uncomfortable places.
The interior is crowded with all the
belongings of these shepherd warriors
camel saddles and gaudy saddle
bags, rifles and ammunition. hunting
dogs and falcons. The women occupy
one half: the men use the other. par-
titioned off by a brightly colored r
tain. The whole of the front of the
tent being open. there is NJ privacy.
The average tent measures twenty
yards by six.
The chief Of the tribe. however.
owns many tents. and he has for his
own use one giant structure. some
times spread over a length of thirty
six yards. In his other tents the chief
keeps his numerous wives. who have
a certain proportion of their masters
f1ocks and herds to look after. Hav-
ing a separate tent for each wife. he
thus does away with all chance Of do
nestle quarrels.-Argonaut.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
An Immense Fresh Water Sea Some
Thousands of Years Aao.

In glacial times Great Salt lake was
a magnificent fresh water lake the size
of Lake H~uron-that is. about $4,000
square miles-and had its outlet into
the Port Neuf. the Snake and the Co.
lumbia rivers. This was ut least 10000
years ago. but since that time the eli
mate has become arid, and not enough
water has fallen over the Great basin
to supply that lost by evaporation.
Consequently the lake has ceased to
flow from Its outlet and gradually dried
up from over "a thousand feet deep to
fifteen feet and from $4,000 square
miles In area to less than LOO.
1t Is now seventy miles long and
about thirty wide. but is beautiful
still and is the home Of myriads of
sea birds and other waterfowl. II is
the great resort OF the people of Utah.
for from 5000 to 5000 visit its shores
daily in the summer, and many battle
In its waters. The lake contains about
1000. OOO, 900 tons Of salt.
When the lake is high the salt is so
diluted that 1t has gone down to II
per cent. When 1t Is low. as 1t was
not many years ago. 1t reached satura-
ton which for the mixed ingredients
of the water is 80 per cent.
There is nothing mysterious about it
any more than there would be about a
teacup with a teaspoonful of salt in
the bottom. IL a tablespoonful of
water were put in the cup IN the salt
it would taste very salty. but IL the
cup were filed to the brim with water
1t would not.
The salt has come from the water of
the rivers flowing into it since it
ceased to flow from its outlet. All
river water contains salt. and the an
nual evaporation Of from two to five
cubic miles of this water leaves large
quantities Of salt behind. and so it has
accumulated for thousands of years.

THREE YEARS LATE.
A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.

RECORD Medal.
A train of a railway system in the
southwest ono arrived at its destina.
ton nearly three years late. The cir
cumstances were these:
The train left Bolivar, just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, on
Sept. ., 1900. and was caught in the
great storm that SO nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar is seventy
five miles from Beaumont. which was
the point of the trains destination.
Before the train had travelled far on
its journey it was caught in the storm.
Thirty miles of the track were washed
away. and the train was left stranded
on a sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge in the
train. After the storm subsidized they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers.
but the abandoned train was left on
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted the railway.
and no effort to rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1903. Had not
the road suffered so seriously In that
storm the property would have proved
Of great value a few months later.
