Doesn't Know Her Aqe.

There is glaring phase of unfair ness of the position of the two sexes, despite all our struggles for the suf- frage. A woman still dreads to tell her age, no matter how youthful she may look, while, as long as a man looks youthful, he is generally willing to admit and even to boast of how many milestones he has passed. There Is at least one father who understood this problem in time and who gave his daughter fair chance in life by never letting her know how old she was. He realized at her birth that a time would come when she would not want to tell her age, and he spared her the humiliation of having to pre- varicate, so she was never told either her age or the place where she was born, and there were no birth records preserved in the family.

Pres.rxIna Spiders, Webs.

Naturalists employ an interesting method to preserve all kinds of spi- ders' webs. The webs are first sprayed with an atomizer with artists shellac and then, should they be of the ordi- nary geometric form, they are pressed carefully against glass plate. the sup porting strands being at the same time severed
 After the shellac has dried the plates carrying the webs can be stored away in a cabinet.
 Even dome shaped webs may be served in their original form by spraying them with shellac and then allowing them to dry before removal from their supports. Many spiders webs are very beautiful, and all are characteristic of the species to which they belong, so that. from a scientific standpoint, their permanent preserva- ton is very desirable-Harper's Weekly.

TO MAKE MILLINERS' FOLD
The Cutting of the Material Is the Only Thing to Be Kept in
 Mind.

To make a milliner's or French fold, cut the material three times the width that the fold is to be when it is fin ished. Then fold third of this width back on the wrong side, and fold down over this raw edge the remain ing part. Turn in the raw edge be- fore doing this. Finally. slipstitch this edge to the thickness underneath, being careful not to let the stitches go all the way through.
 To make double fold of this sort, cut the material. again, three times the width of the fold when finished. Made wide, plain fold, and then fold this through the center. with the stitches all on the upper edge. Place the upper fold so that it forms a cord or ridge through the center, and slip stitch this so as to hold it firmly in place. Be sure that all your stitches are out of sight.

small bouquets of these silk and tin
 blossoms set about the hat at the F7ning of the crown and brim. They are as vivid and rich as jewels.
 Milhners use satin or ribbon, panne velvet and gold or silver cloth to make them. A sudden fancy for them has sprung up and everywhere, on fine hats, they delight the admirer of real millinery art. They are ex- pensive because they take time, and not because they consume much ma terial That used, however, Is of the best grade in order to get best results in color.

Aged Hunter Saved by His Doc.

Ebenezer Ramsey, 72 years old, killed three bears near his home in Long Valley on the line between Fl Dorado and Placer counties a few days ago, but escaped possible death from one of them by the interference of his dog. Ramsey's dog treed a large bear and her two cubs, and Ram sey, with an ancient single shot rife went to investigate. Seeing the bears, he shot all three, but the mother bear was not killed, and on falling to the ground she took after Ramsey be- fore he could reload his rifle.
 His dog, however, bounced upon the lnfuriated animal and kept it busy un- til Ramsey secured an ax, with which he killed the brute. He says 1t was the most exciting hunt he ever had Placerville Correspondence San Fran cisco Chronicle.

HIS UNDERWEAR
Church Made Things Rather Embarrassing.

A funny thing happened to a young lady who was attending her church a few Sundays ago. Sitting directly before her was a tall, well-dressed stranger with a piece of white ravel- ing hanging down his back, over his collar. Being a young lady of ac- commodating turn, one of those warm-hearted, good girls, a friend to everybody. she thought how glad she would be if some kind-hearted girl would do as much for her father if he should come to church with a rav- cling hanging down his back. Be sides, the thing worried her because of the uncouth appearance presented. So, as the congregations arose for prayer, she concluded to pull 1t on. Carefully raising her hand, she gave it little twitch, but there was more of the thread appearing. Setting her teeth, she gave another pull. and about a yard or more hung down his back. That was getting embarras- sing, but, with a resolve to do or die, she gave another yank. and discov- cred that she was unraveling his un- derwear. Chloroform would not have alleviated her suffering, nor a pint of powder have hidden her bushes when the gentleman turned to see what was tickling his back.-Jermyn (Tex) Enterprise.

MIGHTY RULERS OF EARTH
Elizabeth of England and Theodore of Abyssinia Had Many Traits
 in Common.

Elizabeth, queen of England, had many claims to great distinction. Her very name was Tudor, contraction. it seems, of Theodore, "the gift of God" an epithet of happy omen asso- ciated with the mighty rulers of the earth, among whom may be mention ed the African king, Theodore of Alb yssinia. This monarch is described in the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a "man of education and intelligence, superior to those among whom he lived, with natural talents for gov erning and gaining the esteem of others. He had noble bearing, and a frame capable of enduring any amount of fatigue, and he was the best shot and the best horseman in Abyssinia. He was generous to ex- cess and free from cupidity, but sub ject to violent bursts of anger"
 Elizabeth also possessed many of these royal traits of character, al- though Coke said her name was not really Tudor but rather Owen or Meredith, though God would not suf- fer her to have a sir name because by his grace and goodness she should deserve for her imperial virtues to be called Elizabeth the great" "She was" said Coke, 'the phoenix of her sex; she was Angliae Amor" familiar with French, Italian and Spanish and learned in Latin and Greek; and "as the rose is the queen of flowers :. :. she was the queen of queens. You cannot question what rose I mean; for take the red or the white, she was not only by royal descent and inner ent birthright, but by roseal beauty also, heir to both"
 Whether or not Elizabeth deserved this praise, and even if she had no right to bear the royal name of Theo- dore, she was fortunate enough to lend her own to the most glorious period of her country's history.-Yale Review.

FROG IN GIRLS BATHING SUIT
FaIr Swimming Pupil Loudly Calls Upon a Woman Friend to
 Fish 1t Out.

St Louis, Mo.-It Is written in the philosophy of Capt. James Fitzgerald. swimming instructor at Piasa pool. that there is always way-that is. nearly always His way of getting nights sleep in flooded bedroom is to put on a bathing suit and a way he recommends of getting rid of mos quitoes is to go swimming and smoke cigarettes. But there was no way that he could suggest when bullfrog jumped inside of a woman's bathing suit
 Captain F1tz was giving a swimming lesson when the jumping bullfrog put him up against problem which stumped him. He had a woman in the end of a line teaching her how to swim. A bullfrog sat in a crevice at the edge of the pool and watched pro ceedings with interest. "One. two. thur-ree." chanted Captain Fitz, and just as he said ''thur-ree'' boy, run ming by on the brink of the pool. star tied the frog and he leaped wildly into the pool.
 Not into the pool, either. The wom- an wore a low cut bathing suit. trffie loose at the neck. The frog landed in- side. That made two in bathing suit that was only built for one. It was hard to tell which was most anxious to get out, the woman or the frog The frog did not know how and the woman could not get out quickly enough. She splashed and shrieked and begged Fitz to rescue her from the frog or rescue the frog from her.
 While Fftz hesitated and stammered another woman swan to the one in need of help, reached inside of her bathing suit and caught the frog and withdrew 1t, and thereby earned the gratitude of the woman-and the frog

"So it's all over between us?"
 "Yes," she replied very firmly. q told you so the last time you called. You must not annoy me any more by coming here"
 Have no fear" he returned; you'll never see me again.
 There was a half-concealed threat in his voice as he departed, but the girl needed 1t not. She was happy in the thought that she had dismissed him forever.
 Suddenly there was a strange sound outside. The girl ran to the window and looked out. Swaying in the still evening air was the form of her whilom lover. He had hanged himself with the hammock rope.
 It was no time to either scream or faint. She ran to the drawer in the sideboard, and in a moment reappear- ed with carving knife. With one stroke she cut him down. When he came to the girl was standing calmly over him. He looked into her eyes, but there was no sign of forgiveness in them.
 "Begonei" she cried, with wave of her hand. T thought you understood me when I told you a moment ago that didn't want you hanging around here any more"

H. Had RheumatIsn,.

Camden. N. J.-Stabbed during Q fight last March. Barney Gofney. col ored. twenty-six years old, was not aware that about two inches or the blade of a large pocket knife was left in his hack until he visited Cooper bosnital in Camden. When he called at the institution he complained or a severe pain. He had been using home remedies for rheumatism and as the main grew worse he decided to go to the hospital for examination. Discov- ering a scar, the physicians asked if he had been injured.
 "No." came the reply. T was stabbed in a fight about six months ago but I don't think that could have anything to do with the pain. now that fine wound has healed"
 Opening the old wound the physi- clans found the piece of steel and 1t was removed with difficulty. It was part of the knife with which Gofney was stabbed. Physicians say 1t is re- markable that tetanus had not devei- oped.
