ro save LInen.

In some of the best schools the pupils are now taught to roll table cloths instead of folding them, since the folds in linen are usually the first places that show wear, says a con- tributor to the Delineator. The table cloths are ironed fiat and rolled while being ironed. It is best to use ta- ble for the ironing board. as this gives more space. Start to roll the tablecloth as soon as a quarter of a yard is ironed and keep the roll d. rectly in front, turning 1t ss fast aa the ironing is done. Sometimes thick brown paper is used to roll the cloth on, but 1t must be the width of the linen. A clever woman has procured several mailing tubes. placed them end to end and covered them with fancy wall paper, pasting 1t on se- curely. This makes a firm founda- ton for the roll Napkins should be folded once with the iron and all other folding done by hand so they will not wear in the creases.

DIVIDE THE HOURS OF REST
Better to Take Sleep In Installments Rather Than In One Long
 Session.

If you wish to be perfectly fit and healthy don't take your sleep in "one long dose"
 Instead of, say. always going to bed 1t Il D. m. and rising at ' a m-, d. vide your sleeping hours into two portions, as, for instance. from 6>p. m 70 S:3o D. m. (first sleep) and from z l. m. to 6:30 a. m- in the second Bleep.
 This method of sleeping in watches" gives the brain-for all those who do mental work-just stim- nlus needed, and promotes fresh en- argy and vigor to both mind and body.
 A doctor who is serious advocate of sleeping in watches gave the above interesting theory.
 Every man and woman whose work requires a large expenditure of mental energy should divide his or her sleep Ing hours into two" he said.
 T am acquainted with many people who now always take their sleep In two 'dcses,' and they will tell you what a vast improvement 1t is on the usual rule of one long sleep in the "A hours.
 aThe ideal times of sleep for the brain worker are the afternoon and the early hours of the morning. Of course this program could only be car ried out by the woman whose time IS her own"

GHINA'S GREAT WALL
Wonder of World Is Literally Wan
 of Blood.
For Tweney-one Centuries It Has Re- malned the Most Amazing Con struetIon of Human Hands-
 Builders Name Cursed.

Pekin.-Best known by repute Of all the wonders of the world. the great wall of China has remained for 21 centuries the most amazing construc- ton of human hands. Ruined and broken as 1t is, 1t is clear at first sight that the amount of human labor required to build this majestic barrier is without parallel on earth. Fifteen hundred miles long. with additional loops that add another 1000 miles, there were originally 25.000 watch towers upon 1t.
 The wall was built at the end of the third century before Christ by the first, and perhaps the greatest, of all Chinese emperors. Che-Hwang-te, prince of Tsin, succeeded as boy to the throne of a comparatively small kingdom and at once began to put into a state of order and defence territory that long had been allowed to degenerate into a mere prey to an nual northern invaders. After a few years the young king assumed the style of emperor end organized the forces of what for the first time in history was China. For he at once gave to the whole of this new empire the name of his own small state. He then marched out against the Tar tars, his hereditary and perennial enemies in the north After routing these marauding pests he was re- called for the usual oriental need of

DOUBLE OF THE GEAR
DANE WHO PROUDLY COPIED
 HIS IMPERIAL MODEL.
Played the Role So We'll That Finally He Began to Dread the NIhllIsts and Went
 Insane.

There is an old story to the effect that a man who may be called Jones was assured by Smith that he was the very picture of Robinson So he hunted up Robinson, and apprised him of the comparison.
 well, I'll punch Smiths head for him when next I come across him!~ Robinson said.
 "Oh, I have already done thatI" was Jones' reply.
 It was in a very different spirit from this that a banker in Copen- hagen, named Carlsben, received the lntimation of a friend that he resem- bled Alexander III, czar of Russia He had never seen the czar, but so far as he could judge by such DOT traits as were available, he found, on looking in the mirror, that his friend had not exaggerated the resemblance. The idea pleased him greatly, and from that day forward he left nothing undone to increase the likeness, and to enable him to play the part of double to the czar.
 For example, whereas he had for merly belonged to the confraternity of the clean-shaven, he now allowed his beard to grow and wax bushy and had 1t trimmed like that of his model.
 The great desire of his heart. how ever, was to be presented to the czar. This, too, he accomplished year ago. when Alexander III. was staying at Fredensborg, and the autocrat of all the Russias is said to have been much amused at the striking resem- blance between himself and his double. This was the acme of Carls- ben's happiness. compared to which all the other events of his life were vanity. From that time forth he studiously copied his imperial model. drove about through the streets of Copenhagen in a four-in-hAnd. and was often saluted by policemen and civilians in the belief that he was the czar, and that he was visiting his father-in-law, the king of Denmark
 But Carlsben played his role too well. He identified himself so com pletely with the czar that he gradual ly began to experience the cares and to dread the dangers to which the lat ter is exposed. One morning he awoke with a fixed idea that he was Alexander III. Soon afterward his peace of mind was disturbed by the machinations of the Nihilists. and at last he had to be confined in a luna tic asylum. where he died a few weeks ago.

Although most of the new frocks and coats show the kimono shoulder. the imported lingerie blouses have the regulation sleeve in most iu- stances. Where the straight shoul- der effect Is preferred 1t is simulated by a broad band of embroidery which joins the bodice and sleeves.
 A notable feature of some of the new gowns is the difference in the two sleeves For instance. one of the daintiest models shows one sleeve of chifron. close and plain, while the other arm is bare, save for garland or wreath of black roses set midway between shoulder and elbow.

Her Awful Neatness.

Two of the boarders were discuss ing a third. She's a nice girl; very neat" said one. The young man groaned. That's the only objection I have to her." he said. Not exact ly to her neatness, but to the way she accomplishes it. Her room is across the court from mine and every night. just after I have fallen deliciously asleep, she shakes her silk petticoat out of the window. The sound is ever new to me and never fails to waken me-a swish, swish. as the silk whips through the still night air. l am getting so nervous over it-know- ing that I shall inevitably be awak- ened-that I have tried to time my retiring after the swish has occurred, but in vain She seems to have some diabolical knowledge of the exact time when 1t will be most unpleasant for my peaceful and childlike slumbers to be disturbed and at that instant she cuts the night air and my sleep in two simultaneously"
 Couldn't you speak to her about it?"

crushing out the seeds of rebellion at home. It was probably in order that he should not again find himself thus between two enemies that he con ceived the gigantic defense of which the larger part remains to this day.
 Undeterred by the magnitude of the task and the terrible loss of life that its construction must involve, Che-Hwang-te gave the word and the huge structure slowly forged It's way from many centers at once along the entire northern boundary of what was then the Chinese empire. Che-Hwang- te enlisted the workers in many ways and from many quarters. Some of his press gang work was hardly cred itable, for 1t is on record that the mere possession of book condemned the wretched owner to four years hard labor on the wall.
 But as the Chinese proverb has it: "The annihilation of one generation has proved the salvation of others" |" and for many centuries the great wall served its purpose well.
 Disappointment generally awaits the mortal who has heard much about some celebrated object and does visit 1t: so seldom does the reality come up to expectation. But the great wall is not overrated Be hold it by starlight or moonlight, gaze on 1t in twilight or in sunlight; view 1t through the haze of a dust fog, or the spindrift of a rain shower. or between the flakes of a snowstorm, ever is the wall one great. gray, gaunt, still specter of the past. crest ing the mountain peak or reposing in the shady valley. So vast is 1t that perhaps alone of all mans handiwork it could be discerned from the moon. disposed around the earth at the equator they would provide a wall eight feet high and three feet thick.
 When we reflect on the labor need ed to erect 1t we slowly divine the toll exacted from countless thou sands, the sweat and tears and blood that must have been shed and we are prepared to hear that after two mil. lennia the name of Che is cursed all along the wall by the descendants of those who were driven to the hateful task, who labored in deathly fear lest when flesh and blood failed to re spond to the taskmaster's scourge flesh and blood should be hurled into the mass of concrete to provide more material for the all-dsvouring non. ster. It Is a wall of blood!
