How Esklmo Women Die.

On her first entrance TO her new
hut OF snow an Eskimo woman Is
buoyed by hope OF welcoming a son.
What OF her last incoming to those
narrow confines? She knows that the
medicine man has decided that her
sickness is mortal when she is laid
upon her bed of snow. She gazes
upon the feebly burning lamp beside
her; upon food and drink set close at
her hand. She sees her loved ones
pass out of the doorway that needs
no tunnel entrance TO keep chill airs
away. for presently the door Is sealed
with snow. The chill of death pierces
through her enveloping furs. Her
tomb insures that no long tarrying
will be hers. The soul, companioning
with her. may refresh itself with food.
but starving and freezing her feeble
body will witness even that souls de-
parture and know that its hour has
come to perish alone.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

ADVOCATES LABOR SUNDAY"
Plan of Labor Secretary Morrison is
Beinu Followed Here.

An agitation for the setting apart
of one Sunday each year as Labor

tary Frank Morrison of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, according to
a recent despatch. In this connection
the steps taken in this direction To-
cally i'm the past few years are of in
terest, Rev. ]. S. Gould, of the Han
cock Congregational church having for
the past two or three years set apart
the Sunday before Labor Day as La
Dor Sundy, inviting the members OF

cial sermon appropriate to occasion
on that day. These services have
met with the approval of of the or
CARNATIONS and have been fell attend

appreciation of the good will and SYM
pathv shown in their movement, by

Secretary Morrison speaking of his
plan for n national Labor Sunday, is
quoted as follows;
what is needed in this country al
most as much as anything else" says
Mr.. Morrison i'm a statement urging
his plan, "is a closer relationship be-
tween the great forces of religion and
those of labor. While a great many
working men recognize in an indefinite
way the power and good of the church,
they do not fully understand labor
conditions.
"a labor Sunday would bring the
two forces together and result in
better understanding of each other"

How Hair GroWs.

II is a curious fact that boys hair
grows one-half slower than girls.
In boys the average rate of growth
is three feet three inches In six years,
being an average OF .01s inch per day.
During the twenty-frst and twenty.
fourth years mans hair grows quick
err than at any other period. IL takes
an eyelash 20 weeks to reach length
OF .429 inches, and then it's life is from
100 to $50 days. BY means OF a cam.
era the wink of an eyelid has been
measured, and 1t was found that 20
winks can be made In four seconds.

MEANING OF WILLOW PATTERN
Originally Chinese Design and Dates
Back as Far as the Thir-
teenth Century.

The willow pattern is a Chinese de-
sign and very ancient, dating probably
as far back as the thirteenth century;
less than two centuries later IL was
reproduced in the potteries of Hol-
land. This pattern is a very compli.
Gated design containing many figures
In small space. In the foreground is
palatial building, around which
cluster impossible trees laden with
flowers and fruit.
Close by is a lake, an inlet from
which hang the dropping limbs of a
willow tree, and far out in the lake is
a houseboat. Three figures are pass
ing over the bridge, while high up in
the air a pair of billing and cooling
doves are suspended. The imaginary
legend OF the willow pattern design is
said to be as follows:
A nobleman living in the palace
had fair daughter who had fallen in
love with youth of low degree One
night, with the help of ladder, the
youth abducted the willing maiden
and the somewhat shapeless figures
on the bridge are supposed to repre-
sent the fleeing damsel carrying her
bundle OF finery. the daring lover,
bearing the ladder. and the irate IA
ther, having In his hand an instru-
ment of castigation.
The boat in the distance is meant
to represent the agent in the escape
of the devoted lovers from the wrath
of the angry parent, while the doves
overhead symbolic the fact that they
married and lived happily ever after,
in the manner of the usual mythical
tale.-From the Housekeeper.

War and Automobiles.

II war is hell, so are automobiles
driven by drunken or fool man. War
hath her sublime victories; autos. too.
All through nature some kind OF
deadly war has been the main method
OF selecting the fittest for survival.
Religion and love may in the future
be the greatest raisers of the world,
but speaking OF the past, war has
done most OF all. for war has killed of
tot OF savage men who would have
held civilization back.-N. Y. Press.

The Daxxlino Searchlioh.

On dark night no warship would
be safe from torpedo attack but for
the searchlight. The full moon lights
up a torpedo boat SO that it can be
hred at when nearly a mile away. To
produce the same illumination with
the most powerful artificial light an
electric arc of 100000 candle power
placed three-quarters of a mile high
would be needed if the aid of mirrors
were not available But with this
light and an ingenious arrangement
OF mirrors it is possible to surpass
the moon. Searchlights are now made
which throw light a distance Of sixty
three miles. but objects can be seen
only few miles from the source of
the light. The effect on the enemy is
most demoralizing. When the bright
beam is suddenly thrown on the eye
the pupil contracts violently; when the
beam is removed the eye can see moth
ing. II this be repeated few times
it takes all the nerve out of man. sc
that only the best trained and most
courageous can continue the attack
