Oriental Love.

It has been said many a time and oft that Oriental women have not been honored and loved enough. It is impossible for us to understand the heart and soul of races totally differ ent in most respects from ours. All though they never do show it in the presence of third person. Orientals love their women much indeed. Love by them is not shown publicly by soft words or kisses, pats and hugs. They are often called "henpecked." be- cause they are so under the influence of their women. Love Is the food of the Oriental soul. A few of the Amer fcan women think they will love just SO long as they are loved, and the consequences show plenty in the divorce courts. Such independent" spirit in love matters, such profit and loss and 'happy-go-lucky marriage ways strike an Oriental as gross, in- nate hopeless materialism. or else are utterly unintelligible to him.

in fact, world of airy and attractive decorations-ar cleverly fashioned from the feathers of the turkey, chick en. pigeon, peacock and pheasant. These are bleached, dyed, eaten with acids, pieced and pasted until their origin is lost sight of. Other birds of bright plumage, such as the parrot, and birds like the blackbird and spar row, of which there are myriads, are used, but they are not cruelty treated, unless sudden death is cruel.
 The wearing of bird upon the hat may be in questionable taste and at present one sees almost no birds, but any amount of plumage. Gradually the wearing of feathers may die out, but the signs of the times do not point tkat way More plumage is shown now than ever before. Women should learn to discriminate in choosing it, and select those feathers which they may wear with an easy conscience. They are obliged to inform themselves in some states of the Union or run the risk of forfeiting their forbidden property For laws have been passed and are enforced to protect certain 1irds, and one may hot own their plumage.

Diet for Girl Athletes.

Students in Wellesley college who go in for athletics next year must sub init to severe dieting. This Is a de- parture for college girl athletics. for hitherto not much attention has been paid to the subject of eating. Agnes Roche, newly elected president of Wellesley's Athletic association, and Miss Romans, physical director of the college, have decided to lay out 8 rigorous course of dieting for the members of the crew, the basketball and track teams. The members of the team will be required to go to bed at afcertainf hour, take not more than nine hours sleep and to eat the plain est of foods. Nuts and ice cream will not longer be regarded as fruit and will be tabooed from the table of the girl athletes. This advance in train ing will keep pace with other growth in the athletic department of the col lege. There will be a baseball dia- mond, a cricket field and perhaps a football field The hope is to encour- age all these games among the stu. dents.

LIVELY TIME WITH PYTHON
Crew on British Gunboat Has Exciting Experience When Reptile
 Breaks Loose.

Once when the British gunboat Rat tier was in eastern waters the crew had a lively time looking after a python on board that got loose
 Besides the python there was on board a big Borneo orangoutang. The python, which was 19 or 20 feet il length, having dined heartily on a deer about three weeks before, began to feel it's appetite returning, and in searching about it's box for a place of egress found one side in bad repair. It did not take the python long to come through the weak part, and quite unobserved, it began its peram- bulationS around the boat.
 Seeing the orangoutang chained up few yards off, the big snake invited itself to a dinner very much to it's taste. It would have been all over with the orangoutang had not the quartermaster at that moment made the discovery that the two pets were about to be merged into one. He promptly cut the orangoutang loose.
 The latter was up the masthead be- fore any mischief could be done, and a lieutenant, the proprietor of the orangoutang, the quartermaster, and member of the crew flung themselves upon the hungry python-one at the head, another at the tail. and third in the middle.
 Then the fun began, for the python wanted to get one of the aggressors nicely in its coils, and the men were determined it should be kept out in something as nearly approaching straight line as possible.
 For a minute it was the Laocoon group all over again, only in this case the three men and the snake were sprawling over the deck instead of standing upright in classic attitude
 Reinforcements, however, arrived in hot haste, and about 20 bluejackets, each embracing a foot of python, re- duced the reptile to comparative quiescence. The procession marched back to the python's box, coiled the creature inside, and shut it up. But the orangoutang sat aloft in the mast head a long time before he came to- the conclusion that he was off the menu for the day.

critIeIses Her Sex.

Mrs. Newell Dwight Hillis, wife of the minister. says in an article in the Outlook. that American women are not a success as home-makers. The American woman has been reared up- on a false conception, she thinks. Has been set upon a pedestal and wor- shiped and has come. to believe that she is a superior sort of being. She questions whether the talkative, self assertive American girl is as well fitted for the work of the world as the English and German girls.

An Odd Greeting.

A Milwaukee woman, who formerly hailed Appleton as her home, and who 1ow delights in returning to that city to visit her father and mother, and her sisters and brothers who still live there, recently made short trip to that city She didsno announce her coming and, of course. there was DO one to meet her and escort her to the home She travelled the way alone, however, and lugged her grip with her as the walk from the depot was short.
 At the gate she met her seven-year- old nephew. Instead of shouting happy greeting, he showed his hands down into his pockets, and looked up at her rather pityingly:
 Gee, but youse has poor baseball team in your town" he said.-Milwau- kee Evening Wisconsin.

PLEA FOR THE GROWING GIRL
Problem of Maternal Management That Is Worth Some Serious
 Consideration.

So many older women seem to think that because girl of from four teen to twenty or so Is likely to be callow and sometimes forward and rather ridiculous in her pretentions of age and dignity she must be contin. ually snubbed and put down." They keep calling her "child" and laugh ing at her opinions and criticisms. and leaving her out of discussion and conversation, until some day they awake with start to realize that the child Is woman, and a pert and em- bitter woman at that.
 Of course, American girls are no torious for their unpleasant presump- tion, and there are many, many things which girl in her teens is not com. petent to decide for herself, let alone for others; but there is no reason why a girl who really is growing up should be made to feel that she is al ways in the way and must be pat ronized when she is noticed at all. Give her at least a chance to feel that she is one of the family and that she is a step above the children in the nursery, whom she is likely so to despise.
 Here, as elsewhere, you will go most safely in the middle" and this rather delicate problem of maternal management will settle itself if con sideration and common sense are learned on one side and taught on the uther-Exchange

ACUTENESS OF CATTLE BUYER
He Can Estimate Number of Head lN Herd of Four or Five Hundred-
 Also Detect Sickness.

Herders on Texas cattle ranches be
 come so expert their scrutiny of cat
 tie that in buying them on the hoof they often rely for enumeration upon a glance at the herd as they ride past. Their passing estimate practically never varies more than two or three from the actual number in the herds of from 50 to 100 and in much larger herds of from 200 to 500 their esti- mates will preserve the same propor- ton of accuracy.
 In some cases this ability to esti- mate Is carried to a higher degree of accuracy even for very large herds. In the early 70s, before the days of weigh ing scales and railroads, cattle buyers In the southwest would buy cattle at so much a hundredweight from their owners. This estimate of weight was based on what the cattle would weigh after they had been driven 200, 300 or 400 miles to the Kansas City market. Nevertheless, the error would only amount to a few pounds, but enough to affect their profits.
 Charles Goodnight of Goodnight, Tex, and owner of the famous buffalo herd bearing his name, told some ex- traordinary things about a negro he knew. When the roundup time came they would place this negro in an ad- vantageous position and drive past him the herds belonging to different men. All these cattle except the calves had their owners brands. Later, when these calves, after having been mixed up in the corral, were taken out to be branded, he could tell which brand to put on each from having noted at the tlme to which COW each belonged.
 This astonishing acuteness is even more clearly demonstrated in their de- tection of diseased or defective anil mals in herds which they are inspect ing for purchase. In this discrimina- tion they equally rely upon a rapid vis- ual sweep of the cattle while grazing, the inspector merely riding through the herd.
 These statements the narrator was at pains to substantiate by corrobora- tive testimony from friends on the spot actively associated with the business nf cattle raising

Gems Found In Old Paper.

Harvey Struble. employed in the paper mills at Whippany. N. J.. has found the third diamond within the last six months. A local jeweler said it was worth S80.
 Struble handles the scrap that comes into the plant to be made into paper One of the diamonds is worth over $20O and the other $15O.
 Coins frequently are found in the scrap, and pennies are common. The men put the small coins into a. fund to buy tobacco.
 Some time ago the Salvation Army sent a lot of paper to the mill which had been donated to 1t in bulk. The donor concluded that a package of un- cut diamonds was in the lot, but they never came to light.

Short Skirts or Lonq?

There can be no doubt that the real ly short skirt has thoroughly estab- lished itself this spring. Of course, for walking and all outdoor games it is a delightful and most sensible fashion, but there is some question as to its beauty and suitability where the dressy afternoon frock or evening toilet is concerned. For the quite young woman who is still in her teens, or has recently quilted them, the short frock looks girlish and pretty, and is, moreover, very practical and comfort able. But with the older woman 1t is quite a different matter She looks simply ridiculous in these fashionable curtailed skirts, and, far from giving her a girlish appearance, they add years to her apparent age.

Phosphorus in Human Body.

When a photographer attempts to make a f1ashlight picture in a dark sned room he sometimes uses a long, thin metallic ribbon that blazes with aendish intensity. There is yard and half of this metal in the body of the normal kuman being. Naturally, it is not in the form of ribbon, but is scat tered all through the cells in the shape of a metallic salt. The phosphorus and the magnesium ribbon are rather cost ly. Phosphorus is worth about one dollar pound, and the matchmaking materials in the human tissues would sell for about $1.80 if weighed up over the druggists counter in his prescrip- ton scales. An ounce and a half of magnesium costs S3 cents in the chemical markets

Chewing Gum.

Chewing gum Is nothing but chicIe mixed with sugar and favoring; and chicle is the gum of a tree that grows plentifulIy in Mexico and Central America and that of recent years has been cultivated on a large scale in Yucatan, where the American Chicle company owns several million acres of 1t. The chicle tree is not unlike the India rubber tree. and the gum was first shipped to America by men who believed that in it they had a perfect substitute for rubber. In this, how ever. they were mistaken, as 1t was found that the chicle gum was in- soluble. Not to this day has any me dium, acid or aIkali. spirit or ether been found that will dissolve 1t.

LIBRARIES OF 0LD
STORED SOURCES OF
 INFORMATION.
Gatherings of the Present Day Really Are Very Little, If Any, Ahead of These of the Past
 Generations.

Tn the matter of numbers the Bib liotheque Rationale of Paris is gen erally accounted the first library in the world, with over 3,OOO,OOO volumes. The British museum stands second with 100000. and the Imperial li- brary of St. Petersburg has about 1,5O0,000, which, also, are the figures to be assigned to the library of con- gress at Washington. The New York public library. according to some au- thorities, is in the same class as the big library at the national capital, and there are several libraries in the United States that display on their shelves more than one-half of a million volumes.
 In way, however, the modern li- braries are far behind those of ancient times, when it Is considered that, since the invention of printing, the ac- emulation of books for the great H. braries has offered no very great diff faculties; and that, in the case of the ancients, every volume of their collec- tions must, perforce, be written by hand.
 It is therefore somewhat startling to read that the Alexandrian library in Egypt numbered no less than 100000 volumes two centuries before the Christian era. This library. founded B. c. 29O by Ptolemy Soter, entirely overshadowed the more or less mythi- cal collections alleged to have pre- ceded 1t, such as, for instance. that of Osymandyas, who reigned in Egypt, it is said, some 1700 years before Christ. and the library mentioned by Diodorus Siculus as having been set up at Susa, the capital of the Persian kings.
 To the collection started by Ptolemy Soter there was added another by Ptolemy Philadelphus, which was in time further augmented until, as al- ready stated, 1t numbered 100000 vol umes.
 Tn 47 B. c. the library in that sec ton of the Alexandrian institution known as the Bruchion (400,000 vol umes) was accidentally consumed by fire during visit by Julius Ceasar and his auxiliary soldiers. The library in the section known as the Serepeum, however, increased in numbers till 1t exceeded the whole of the former col lections.
 One interesting donation to this library was that of 100000 volumes from the Peruragean library, present ed by Mark Anthony to Cleopatra.
 The library at Alexandria suffered plunderings on various occasions, but 1t remained practically intact until A. D. 650, when 1t was destroyed by the Saracens under orders of the Caliph Omar. Thus disappeared noble col lection that had endured some 930 years.
 It Is curious fact. in view of the allegations of Omar, that, "if the wri- tings of the Greeks agree with the Koran, they are useless, and need not be preserved; if they disagree with the Koran. they are pernicious. and ought to be destroyed" that Saracens should afterward collect large libraries of infidel literature, such as those at Tripolis in Syria, and at Cordova in Spain, which latter collection em- braced 250.OOO volumes -Harper's Weekly.
