The Uses of Rubber.

1t is probable that no other COM
modify ever came into such varied use
within so short a period as india rub
Der. First employed practically for
footwear and other waterproof apparel.
rubber has come to be employed in
electrical insulation. hose pipes for the
conveyance Of water. steam. air and so
on; pneumatic and other tires for all
sorts of wheeled vehicles, balloons and
the planes of aerial machines, innu-
neral articles for the comfort of in
valids. household conveniences and
what not. Thus far rubber has never
come into use to an important extent
for any given purpose to which it Is
not still devoted. In other words, its
advantages are so marked In many
uses that when once introduced no
substitute can be found for it.-Cas-
sier's Magazine.

Odd Hair STYLES,

Some of the New Hebrides people do
their hair up in bunch on the top OF
the head and stain it yellow. while
the inhabitants of the Ombai islands
pass it all through a tube so as to
make kind of plume. The Marquesas
chiefs favorite method is to shave all
the head except two patches. one over
each temple, where he cultiyates two
horns of hair. No doubt this is to
render him more a thing of terror to
his enemies than admiration to his
friends. His reason for shaving the
rest of the head is TO allow more space
for tattooing. as if all the available
skin of the body were not enough.

THE RIVER NILE.
Egypt Would Be Wilderness but For
This Wonderful Stream.

Egypt Would Be Wilderness but For
This Wonderful Stream.
The Nile is probably the most Won
derful river In the world. 1t has made
Egypt possible by turning an arid
wilderness into the richest land in the
world. 1t has provided at the same
time an admirable commercial high
WY and made easy the transportation
IF building materials. The ancient
Egyptians were thus enabled to utilize
the granite OF Assuan for the splen-
did structures of the hundred gated
Thebes and of Memphis and even for
those on Tanis. on the Mediterranean
coast.
At a time when the people OF the
British isles were clad in skins Of wild
beasts and offered human sacrifices
upon the stone affairs of the Druids
Egypt was the center of "A rich and
refined civilization. Most of the lie
velopment of Egypt was due to the
/ Nile, which not only watered and fer
tilted the soil annually. but was and
| is one of the best natural highways in
the world.
From the beginning of winter to the
end of spring-that is. while the Nile
| is navigable-the north wind blows
steadily up the stream with sufficient
force to drive sailing boats against the
current at a fair pace, while, on the
other hand the current is strong
enough to carry "a boat without sails
down against the wind except when it
blows a gale. That is why the ancient
Egyptians did not need steam power
nor electric motors for the immense
commerce that covered the Nile nor
for barges carrying building materials
for hundreds of miles.-New York

OLD LONDON INNS.
Bone That Are Famous Because Of q
Special Dish.


Though various restaurants in New
York, Washington, New Orleans or
San Francisco are famous for certain
dishes, yet this Is generally the result
of accident rather than design that
one article upon the menu should be
pre-eminently successful and popular.
The day is past when this one dish
could make the reputation Of the
place.
In London, however, this is not the
case. though it must be confessed that
there are not now as many inns as
formerly which have become famous
by reason Of the popularity of one
dish. In times gone by every London
inn Of any pretensions at all had its
special dish whereon 1t prided itself
and to partake of which patrons trav-
eed many miles.
Eel pies were once the great feature
of breakfast served at the old Sluice
House. near Finsburg park. The nee
essary quantity of fish was regularly
dredged up from the stream which ran
under the windows of the inn. The
pies are still to be had, but the cells
are procured from a nearby fish mar
ket-
Simpsons, in the Strand, is noted for
its fish dinners This place was once
immensely popular, and even today
there is certain following who swear
by its repasts. For certain sum the
guest eats as much of variety of fish
as he cares to-
Another inn boasts of a special dish
in the shape Of Southdown mutton.
This is wheeled up to the table in or
der that each individual may select
the particular cut to which be is par
tial. The mutton is kept warm BY
means of water heated by a lamp.
