astonished to find that the figure bore a
very striking resemblance to the court
doctor.

Then the Princess made a discovery.
There were all the years she had ever
known capering in the courtyard below.
There were some that she didn't remem-
Der at all. some which had been when she
was a tiny baby and spent all her time
cutting her first teeth on a rubber ring.
There was the year of the great process
sion when she had ridden, a tiny girl of
three, on her own beautifully bedecked
little pony among the knights and fair
ladies who made up her fathers court
There was the year when, with the royal
household, she travelled to distant coun-
tries and met her royal cousins, and there
was the terrible year when she had es-
capped from her nurses and run away and
frightened everybody to death. The Prin-
cess made a wry mouth at the sight OF
that year and the remembrance of all the
dry bread and water dinners she had had
to eat as a penance for her folly.
1t was a gay little group that clustered
around the sad Old Year in the courtyard.
The Princess was quite fascinated with
their queer antics and she stood study
ing the different ones, with all their in
teresdng remembrances, and watching
them change every few minutes into diff
ferent sorts of figures, all of which she
knew had been a part of the time they
represented. Then they formed into line
and began to march out in procession be-
fore the Old Year that was just done, and
as they did so the Princess saw that they
were no longer bright or merry; they were
old and tottering like the Old Year him
self and they were all dim and difieulti
to see.
The Princess watched them cross the
courtyard and go out at the gate and then
she dropped the curtain quickly. The
tears were In her eyes. 1t was very sad
to see all the bright years that she re-

and all his men were making merry in
the great hall tonight, and the door
was guarded only by Little Samson, the
cooks son. who had a regiment of kitchen
boys to help him with his sentinel duty.
They had begun the night very proudly,
but they were not used 10 being up so
late and already they had forgotten all
about their Guties and gone sound asleep
IN pitiful row on the castle wall.
That is why, perhaps, that the Old
Year found no one to stop his going
when he crept slowly out of the castle
and down the steps.
He was very old. The Princess felt
very sorry for the poor lettering creature
as she watched him from her high win
dow. But then she started suddenly, for
to her surprise the tall gray figure was
not alone; there were n number of other
figures crowding around him and flock
ing in front of him. The Princess was
not very good at numbers, for she liked
10 read her fairy book or to dance in
the sunlight in the castle court when she
should have been doing her school work.
Still, with care, she was able to count
the drifting figures in the court below.
There were nine Of them. Just as many
as am years DID, said the Princess
in surprise.
Then she locked at the odd creatures
more closely. They seemed very familiar
to her. She was quite sure she must
have seen many of them before

after which the shape is drawn in By
skipping stitches, perhaps every other
one or every second one, as the next
row is added. When the bonnet has been
shaped TO the head it can be widened
again by putting two stitches in every
loop, or if that makes it too full. by
putting two in every other stitch. The
pompon, which is placed jauntily in
front, is made by winding the wool over a
bit Of cardboard about an inch wide.
Wind it over several times. then fasten
all the loops together at one end, slip the
pompon off the cardboard pull it out
so that it looks fluffy and then fasten it
to the crocheted bonnet
Boys sweater and Logging suits are
more difficult to make on account of the
shaping, and unless one has had some ex-
perience in this part of crocheting it
would be wiser to try the simple girls
dresses first. Leggings are begun at the
foot part and widened gradually. Sweat
erS are sometimes made by beginning at
the back and crocheting up to the neck,
then separating the stitches and adding a
side front at a time. 1t is easier to GRO

if possible and then with a small darninl
needle and some of the wool draw the
two sections together. A rolling collar
adds greatly to the appearance of such q
garment. and one can be made quits
easily after the sweater is finished By fss
tening the wool TO the front edge just
below the armhole, crocheting around to
the same point on the other front, then
turning and going over the same part,
each time making the stitches wider IN
the back than in the front.

the bells tolling out the passing of

HOW TO KEEP HAIR IN CURL.
One Woman's Way, by Which She
Can DEFY Foo, Mist and Rain.

Most women agree with the ancients
In thinking that those whom the gods
love have curly hair, and it is per-
haps because they want to seem to be
favOrites of the gods that so many
women curl their hair artificially. The
fog. the mist and the rain are then
looked upon as the evil genii of nature.
The women who have found a way
to combat these unkind influences by
keeping their hair in curl even during
damp, humid weather are frequently
regarded with envy. Yet to do so,
says a woman whose naturally straight
locks never come out of curl, is sim.
pie matter.
This woman keeps on her dressing
table in an air tight jar the white of
an egg, diluted with water to three
times it's bulk Then at night, prepara-
tory to curling, she passes a comb
saturated with this mixture through
it's length.
AS soon as this is done each strand
Is twisted tightly like a cord and
wrapped around a curling kid.

THE: FARiEC PHOENIX,
Lecerd Of How the Bird Lived and

Legend Of How the Bird Lived and
O.sd and Lily. T.szi.,.
Tia ancient tradition c.n .erlling the
phoenix has introduced into nearly ev.
cry language the habit Of applying that
name to whatever is singular or un-
common among it's kind. According to
ancient writer's, the phoenix was bird
Of great beauty about the size of an
eagle. \ shining ana most beautiful
crest adOred its head. it's plumage con-
tanned nearly every tint of the rain
bow. and its eyes sparkled like dia-
monds.
Only one of these birds could live
at time. but it's existence covered a
period of 500 or Geo years. When it's
life drew to a close the bird built for
itself a funeral pile of wood and aro-
matte spices. with it's wings famed the
pile into IL ilame and therein consumed
itself. From it's ashes Il worm was
produced. out of which another phoe-
nix was formed, having all the vigor OF
youth.
The first care of the new phoenix
was to solemnize It's parents obsequies.
For that purpose it made Il ball of
myrrh. frankincense and other fra
grant things. AT Heliopolis, city in
lower Egypt. there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun, TO this
temple the phoenix would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it On the altar of
the sun as sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 800 years or exactly 600 years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.

HOW TO LEARN TO FLY.
Several Schools Of Aviation Have Been
Started In Europe.

Started In Europe.
Where can I buy an aeroplane, and
what will it cost me?
New machines cost from $1,000 to
$500, although the Santos-Dumont
Demoiselle can be bought for $1,000.
In importing machines into this coun-
try there are extra charges, duty.
freight, etc., which amount to 80 per
cent of the original cost. So much for
the machine.
But this is not all. You must be pre-
pared to take lessons in flying and
spend as much time as may be neces-
sary to become proficient. Mr.. Far
man has said that the aeroplane break
age made by the average man in learn
ing to fly amounts to nearly $4,000
and that to avoid dangers and to pre-
vent accidents a man should have at
least sixty trips in the air under the
instruction of competent teacher be-
fore he takes control of the machine
himself.

ed abroad at Chalons, Pau, Buc,

Indian Humor,

Old Geronimo would scarcely be sus-
pected of humor, and yet on one occa-
sion the medicine chief gave me a
sample of 1t. 1t was his custom in the
later years of his life to watch for the
coming of white visitors to Fort Sill
or to Miss Adllisson's mission, near by,
in order that he might sell beaded
canes to them. From the proceeds he
was accustomed to purchase certain
creature comforts not supplied by the
government, but on which he relied
for support in his old age. One day l
was talking to him about them. He
said: "They make me walk straight
the tobacco and the mescal. Yes, they
put strength into me, and l lean on
them
Then to those beady eyes that SO
often had flared with hatred and cru,
city came gleam of humor. He con
tinued: Il sell these canes, and the
white man buys them-both for one
purpose. They help us to walk

They Show NO Regret IN Pars'ng win
Their Luxur;ant Tressss.
A correspondent writes from Pom
tivy, Brittany. giving some interesting
facts Of a hair market" there. 1t is
stated that in different parts of the
motley crowd there were three or four
different purchasers Of this commcd-
ity, who travel the country for the
purpose of attending the fairs and buy
ing the trcsses of the peasant girls.
They have particularly fine hair and
frequently III the greatest abundance.
There seemed to be no difficulty in
finding possessors of beautiful heads
of hair perfectly willing to sell.
1--WE saw several girls sheared one
after the other, like sheep, and as
many more standing ready for the
shears with their caps in their hands
and their long hair combed out and
hanging down to their waists.
"No doubt the reason of the inOif-
ference to their tresses on the part OF
the fair BretOnnes is to lie found in
the invariabe mode which covers ev-
cry head from childhood upward with
close caps, which entirely prevent any
part of the hair from being seen and
of course as totally conceals the want
of it. The money given for the hair is
about 20 sous or else gaudy cotton
handkerchief. The purchasers net i'm
mense profits by their trips through
the country."-Boston Herald.

HOW TO MAKE A RIFLE FIT.
Have tho Tangs on the Frame Bent
Down to Get the Right Drop.

Compare the rifle and the shotgun
belonging to the same man and you
will almost invariably find the rifle has
much less drop of stock than has the
gun This is due to the rifle makers
not wanting to carry a large assort
ment of rifles fitted with stocks of diff
ferent shapes. perhaps following the
idea most people have that a shotgun
must fit, but any old rifle is good
enough.
And that is what most of them get.
says correspondent of Recreation;
also if you'll watch the owner handle
the gun and the rifle you'll find there
is big difference. With the gun built
for him he keeps his head up and his
eye on the target With the rifle he
puts his head down and hunts for the
sights and even then complains Of
overshooting. 1t doesn't occur to him
that this is due to the too high modern
front sight and the too straight stock.
There is one way to remedy this
latter difficulty without giving up your
last cent to have Il special stock built
for you. Simply have the tangs on
the rifle frame bent down until you
have the drop that you want. C., the
one that brings the sights in line SC
that you wouldn't be bothered where
you wouldn't see the sights, but could
see the outline of the game.
l have had this done on several OF
my rifles. 1t cost something less thar

tive from New Brunswick to thu

of the way the sights aligned, bu

lieve it will pay any hunter who i
troubled with overshooting to look int
the matter and see if he can have hi
rifle altered in this way.

How to Clean Bamboo.

Now that bamboo furniture is used
60 universally a suggestion about
cleaning it may not go unnoticed. This
cleansing should be done with soap
and warm water to which salt has
been added. And the mixture must be
put on with Il brush and then wiped
off with clean rags Until the article is
dry and glistens. Ordinary laundry
soap will remove the natural gloss of
the wood and leave it dull if salt is not
added
