GERMAN SPIES IN ENe1ANDA

Story About TeutOnic Waiter Re
 calls Japanese Butler Scare.
 The menace" with which Etneri- cans became familiar during the threat" of a Japanese-American war and which generally took the form of Japanese buffers who were really spies Is now getting in it's same old deadly work in England. Over there the threat" Is of an Anglo-German war. so the "menacS naturally becomes a Teutonic waiter
 Under the heading "A Real Menace" man writes to the Gentlewoman as follows:
 q must confess that without being In the least a scaremonger the pres ence of such crowds of foreigners in our midst does not tend to make one feel altogether comfortable. Most of all does the German waiter flourish at all the restaurants, whether smart or otherwise, all over this great London of ours, and in case of an invasion from oversea what part would these gentry play in the general commo- tion?

He was soon on easy terms with the Teuton, who, of course, attended to his creature comforts. Before leav- ing he requested a few minutes pri- vate conversation with the kellner, who by that time had become expan- sive.

The Mystery.
Elizabeth and Mary are the most pe-

Elizabeth and Mary are the most pe-
 culiar girls! Elizabeth has braided hair and Mary
 bobbing curls; But that's the only difference between
 the happy pair. And when you see the swinging braid
 you know the curls are there. They live across the roadway and they
 wave fond goodnight" And they call across "good-morning,' 9
 at the very earliest light. They. do their work together and they
 study and they play. And they have to see each other at
 least twenty times a dayi They talk and laugh and chatter till
 you'd think that they had said Every single thing that could be found
 within a small girls head. But when they sleep together after
 talking all the day They have to wake each other up
 they have so much to sayl Youu scarce believe this story, but in
 all the tongues we speak, Whether French or German, English,
 Latin. Portuguese or Greek, Sufficient words are lacking. and a lan-
 guage all their own das this clever pair invented for their
 use when all alone. They let me hear it one day, and my
 brain it simply whirled To hear them glibly saying each un-
 utterable word Yet they tell me Mary cannot learn a
 single Latin noun And Elizabeth in German has been
 seven times sent down. When I ask them if they'll kindly
 clear the matter up for me They simply stand and giggle, and then say, Why. don't you seer" I know they think me stupid, though
 they're always most polite, And they sometimes come and tell me
 when they've had little fight. I see them walking slowly with their
 heads an inch apart I find them in the orchard cutting up
 an apple tart; I see them making bonfires or a very
 shaky swing, And I fear I sometimes hear them
 when they're madly quarreling! But what I really want to know and
 never can find out Is what on earth that couple has to
 talk so much about George Phillips.

Two Puzzles.

l. How long would it take to di- vide completely a two-foot block of ice by means of a piece of wire on which a weight of five pounds hangs?
 Solution: A block of ice would never be divided completely by loop of wire on which hangs a five-pound weight. For as the wire works it's way through, the slit closes up by re- freezing, and the weight falls to the ground with the wire, leaving the ice still in a single block.
 2. Two men, standing on the bank of a broad stream, across which they could not cast their fishing lines, could not agree as to it's width. A bet on the point was offered and ac- cepted, and the question was presently decided for them by an ingenious friend who came along, without any particular appliances for measure ment
 He stood on the edge of the bank, steadied his chin with one hand, and with the other tilted his cap on his head till its peak just cut the top of the opposite bank.
 Then, turning round, he stood ex- actly where the peak cut the level ground behind him, and by stepping to that spot was able to measure distance equal to the width of the stream

 Irreverent persons suggest that mans only object in life is to please woman and to serYs her. Slightly eX aggerated this statement, perhaps, yet there must be some truth at the bot tom of it. Otherwise. why should man wait on woman at all? Why take pleasure in being agreeable to her? Why go out of his way to assist her? In other words, why should he be chivalrous?
 Chivalry is the expression of mans real, instinctive deference for woman. Although, like other instinctive feel ings. it is being modified or rooted up by education and civilization. the chiv- alrous instinct nevertheless still makes itself felt in modern man. It impels him, when confronted with woman, to pass through three different stages. In the first one he strives to attract wom- ans attention; in the second to please her; finally. to serve her.
 The unconcerned are highly divert ed by the first. There is no end to the things a man will do to attract wom- ans attention. Nothing is too absurd. One man found it necessary to spoil his patent leather shoes. He was be- ing rowed across a lake when a girl passed by in her canoe. Without a moments hesitation he plunged both feet into the rippling water. letting them dangle there, stupidly.
 Other men use ether methods; some grow spry and climb fences. stumble over their own feet: some imagine themselves the proud possessor of a voice and exercise it; others whistle out of tune or twirl their mustaches. Still others grow disconcerted and for get where they are going or lose the thread of their conversation.
 So much for the desire of being no ticed. When it comes to pleasing wom- en, men are more particular. Then they strive for personal perfection. The intellectual ones go about with poetry in their breast pockets and learn it by heart, ready to repeat it at the first occasion. Or they dabble into art or literature or some ism" in order to acquire the correct pose. The more matter-of-fact puzzle over material things: whether the hair is parted in the right place; whether the red or blue tie will make the better impress sion. For men are vain and dress to please

Buried Treasure.

Once upon a time there was a clus Ger of cottages on a mountain side. and the people who lived there were so very poor that often they had noth- ing at all to eat. In the summer the children stayed their hunger on the wild strawberries they found in the valleys. The land was so fertile that blackberries grew almost as big as plums, and the little people were as busy as the squirrels when autumn came in, storing up nuts for winter use. When these were exhausted and the keen north winds blew in from the sea, they huddled together in the fireless novels they called their homes, and cried so bitterly with the cold that the sound of their weeping reach ed a wise old Brownie
 Now. the Brownie loved little chill dren better than all the rest of the world. and he did his best to help them by whispering into their frost bitten ears what fun it would be to run races in the snow. When they did this they were7q quite. warm, but the poor little things: were too weak to run about for long, and soon were as cold again as ever.
 When the frost-bound earth began to soften, the wise old Brownie made up his mind that next winter they should be better of. So he dressed himself up. as a gray-haired witch, and, mounting upon a broomstick, vOds off to the sunny slope where tho

LAST AMERICAN WOODEN SHIP.
Square-RiEEed Vessel, Class Al,
 Built fin Maine in 1893.

square-RigEed Vessel, Class Al,
 Built in Maine in 1893.
 The Aryan, launched in Phippsburg. Me. in 1893, is the last square-rigged ship of wood built in the United States and the only wooden ship chasing Al in both the record of American ship ping and in Lloyd's register.
 She is of 2,123 tons register, carries over 5000 gross tons, has three decks and is as strong as wood and metal car make her, says the Boston Globe. Her frame is white oak, docked in salt water over a year before being put into her, and is the last white oak ship frame cut in New England, having been taken from New Hampshire for. ests. Her deck and planking are of hard pine.
 When the ship was opened in New York last year for inspection the sur veyors gave a certificate to the effect that she was as sound as any wooden vessel afioat, irrespective of age.
 The Aryan was built by C. " Minott & Co. firm that was composed of the late Charles V. Minott-a man of ster- liHS QudiIicS' "HOSo Houlo was Wch known in shipping circles for over half a century-and his son, Charles v. Minott, Jr., graduate of Bowdoin Col lcge and at present state senator from Sagadahoc county.
 The Aryan recently arrived at San Francisco with coal from Philadelphia, and loaded a cargo of asphalt, canned salmon. wine. redwood and scrapiron for New York.

FALSE TEETH TRAGEDY.
They Stuck in Throat of Englishmaa
 and ThrottIed Him.

and ThrOttled Him.
 Numerous people, we believe have swallowed their false teeth, and few perhaps been throttled by them. But the latter occurrence is so rare as to in England. a man was found dead in the highway. presenting all the marks or asphyxia His body lay near the top of a hill. The autopsy disclosed a plate of false teeth wedged tightly in his throat across the opening into the lungs. They so completely blocked the passage that no air whatever could pass, and appeared to have been held in place by the suction of the lungs.
 medical witness offered the expla- nation that the man was walking up the hill. breathing heavily. In some way the plate was loosened and drawn forcibly into the throat by a deep breath" It happened to fall in such a position as immediately to become tightly wedged, so that the victim was entirely unable to dislodge it. No one being about-it probably would not have made any difference if there had been, because he could not call out or even explain what had happened-hs was choked to death just as effectually as if he had been garroted or drowned o If such accidents were common it might be desirable to wear false teeth on chain-as eyeglasses are worn brought out of corner of the mouth and fastened to the ear.-New York Press

Woman nnd the Ballot.

A woman from Colorado has brought rejoicing to the cohorts of the anti suffragists. "The really feminine women," she is quoted as saying, ''as a rule are content to leave the govern ing to the men" She herself is fond of outdoor sports, is an expert with the rifle and has slain bears and other beasts. All these. of course. are truly feminine accomplishments. Your truly feminine woman should be prepared at an instant's notice to drop the knitting needle or the baby's bottle, seize her trusty rifle and sally forth to slay Yet this modern Diana from Colorado shrinks coyly from the bal lot, we are told. Knowing that her husband was stanch for Mckinley, when her time for suffrage came she ran right out and voted for-Bryan, of course, and whimSically signed her name so that the ballot became void Reasonable doubt may exist as to whether all this really is feather in the "antf' cap. and the answer hinges upon a definition of the really fem mine woman" This woman, when found, will be prepared to state whether or no she would have the bal lot. and to her the manly man will at once doff his hat. swept low, and ex- claim, At your service. madam" Suffrage will be hers for the asking Baltimore Star

Health and Beauty Hints.

Iced water and eating too fast are the two chief causes of the so-called American dyspepsia"
 medical journal says that if a few drops of carbolic acid be added to the tincture of iodine the iodine will not stain the human skin.
 When burn is caused by alkalies, as caustic potash or lime, then the application of acid is the proper treat nent. Water and vinegar or diluted lemon juice is a near-at-hand remedy.
 If your digestion is bad starve your self for a day or two, then go on a sensible diet; that is, avoid rich and greasy foods, and eating overmuch meat and sweets. Coffee is often ruin- ous to the digestion, as 1t makes many persons bilious.
 If the circulation is at fault, first seek to improve it by exercise in the open air, avoidance of tight clothing and deep breathing. Massage is also helpful. If all these remedies fail, seek advice from a physician, as you may need digitalis, nitroglycerin or some other heart tonic.
