SUNFLOWERS.
Their Pith Makes Fine InterIning For
Battleship Armor.

Battleship Armor.
The most remarkable use to which
the sunfiower has been put Is In the
construction of battleships. The stalk
of the plant is very pithy, and even
when compressed into blocks this pith
Is capable of absorbing a tremendous
quantity of water These blocks, in
which the pith retains some of its fiexi-
billtyx have been employed with much
success in the solution Of the vexed
problem of the lining Of battleship's
sides. They are placed between two
walls of steel, and the substance is so
resilient that it completely closes up
the hole made by a projectile, keeping
out the water for long time.
Another little known use of the sun
flower is in the manufacture Of cigars.
There Is not part of the plant thai is
without commercial value. The seed
which Is raised by hundreds of millions
Of pounds every year in Russia, makes
palatable edible oil, with residue
Of seed cake for cattle, or it may be
fed in the kernel to poultry. The bios
SONS furnish honey first and then an
excellent yellow dye. AS for the stalks,
the Chinese are clever enough to get
sort of silky fiber from them, and they
are also good for fuel and for the pro-
duction of potash. In New England
it is believed that the sunfower keeps
away malaria" 1t is also believed that
the blossoms follow the sun in its daily
course, but that Is not true.

Horses For Weddinds.

An old fashioned man who wished
to hire team for the afternoon saw
a nice pair of bays which he thought
he would like to drive.
Cant let you have them," said the
iveryman. ''They are wedding
horses"
"What's that?" asked the innocent
pleasure seeker.
"Horses that won't shy at old shoes
and showers of rice. Some horses
seem prejudiced against matrimony.
Anyhow, they lose their temper if they
happen to be hit by any of the good
luck emblems that are fred after a
bridal couple and run away if they
get half chance Every livery sta
BILE, however, keeps two or more
horses who take a more cheerful view
Of the welded state. Those bays are
that kind. They are slated to head
wedding procession for tonight and
are resting up for the job."-New York

Thaekersy's Mistakes,
Absolutely Pure

Thackeray probably wrote the pretti-
est and most legible hand of any dis
tinguished author. But the master of
the easiest and most flexible style in
English fiction occasionally made care
less and irritating slips. He wrote
different to-" which is a common and
quite unaccountable mistake, and
compared to-" which is as bad. No
one would think of saying or writing
compare this to that" yet you find
compared to- in print every day in
the week. And he also fell into the
common error of making the surname
plural instead of the prefix-the miss
Potters," for instance, in "The New
comes" instead of the misses Potter"
Would anybody write the "Mr. Pot
ters?" Why should the ladies be so
mishandled ?-London Chronicle.

he might, it was nowhere to be found,

his wife.

Little Things.

A goodby kiss is little thing,
With your hand on the door to go,
But 1t takes the venom out of the sting
OF thoughtless word or a cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss Of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toll of the day,
And It smooths the burrows plowed by
care,
The lines on the forehead you once called
fair
In the years that have flown away.
IT'S a little thing to say, You are kind;
] love you. my dear" each night,
But It sends thrill through the heart,
find
For love is tender and love is blind
AS We climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for loves caress;
We take. but we do not give.
1t seems so easy some soul to bless,
But We dole the love grudgingly less and
less,
Till It's bitter and hard to live.

Notes for Women

Life is like continuous string OF
moods and emotional incidents-that Is
to say. the life that matters. There
is, of course. another kind of life. or
rather. another part of life. associated
with the needs and whims of the
body. which is very insistent, occupy
ing very much of our time, most of
some peoples time. but which, in the
long ruin. amounts to almost nothing
in the sum total of life's experiences
The life that matters Is equally near
to us. did we but heed. and far easier
to satisfy. did we but know how; but
the bulk of us never try.
Modern civilization is conspiracy
against the life that matters: 1t is CON
cerned with small, superficial things,
business. speed. flight. fashion. success
which have very little to do with the
art of living. Women have lived. and
lived wen, without such things: that
however, would be no argument. did
they live well with them; but they
don't.

Flavor Of Butter.

Expert butter tasters In France
maintain that flavor OF the soil on
which the cattle browse Is always dis
tinctly perceptible In butter. no matter
what the special race of the COWS pro-
ducing 1t may be. Normandy cows
sent into Poitou show change In the
flavor OF their butter approaching that
characteristic OF the butter produced
in that region. altho the resemblance
is never complete. Thus. they say
that, just as there are different cruises
Of soil and climate, so there are cor
responding cruises OF butter arising
from peculiarittes OF nourishment and
pasturage. The immediate influence OF
the soil Is shown by the fact that In
winter. when the cows are nourished
on concentrated food not taken direcly
from the land. the characteristic flaw
ors ascribed to the soil vanish.
