Unnerved.

Every minute was precious, said the
man who wanted his letters written In
a hurry, yet he left building that
provided three public stenographers
and walked four blocks up the street
to another stenographer.
"She is no more efficient than those
other girls" he said, 'but nobody will
get good work out of them today be-
cause two workmen were killed this
morning in the building next door All
the men working in the new building
have gone home for the day; that is a
rule of the trades, and 1t might just
about as we'll be made a rule in the
neighboring offices. for the clerks
who see and hear about the accident
are never fit for much the rest of the
day. There Is no danger attached to
their jobs, but the accident gives every
stenographer and typewriter in the
building q case of nerves."

VAST LAKE OF SOLID SODA
Remarkable Discovery at Lake Massdl
In East Afrlca-Mystery 10
Cleared UP.

Wonderful as have been the reports
OF the vast soda deposit at Lake Ma
gadi in East Africa, the tendency
hitherto has been to deem the stories
fantastic. Now, however, the mystery
is cleared up by the report Of an expe-
dition which penetrated quite to the
interior of Britain's remote possession
as far, indeed, as Is miles from the
frontier of German East Africa. The
ascertained facts, according to the
Chemical News, are more surprising
than the first reports. What, in the
case of an ordinary lake, would be
water consists at Magadi of solid
deposit of soda, with hard surface
looking like pink marble. During the
wet season-which in this region is
very short-the surface is covered
with a few inches of water. Immedi-
ately after the cessation of the rains
the whole of the surface becomes dry
with the exception of a margin about
80 yards wide. Even during the wet
season the amount of water on the
surface in no way renders imprac-
ticable the working of the deposit. For
many years Indians" from Nairobi,
who use this soda for washing pur-
poses and as snuff, have been remov-
ing 1t from the lake without regard to
the season.-Current Literature.

Sleeping Potion.

A woman who suffered much from
sleeplessness was relieved by the
strong odor of mint breathed each
night.
The remedy was one of those old
wife cures that are often effective,
and was brought to the sleepless ones
notice by clever friend, who sent a
bottle of strong essence of mint, a
small sponge and daintily embroi.
dered lawn bag to hold the saturated
sponge.
The bag had spray of mint leaves
done in colors on one side, and on The
other Sweet Sleep" Through cas-.
ing at the top were drawn narrow
green ribbons that could be hung over
the head of the bed at night
The odor of the mint proved sooth-
ing, and gradually the sleeping habit
returned.

KIND HEARTED MRS. BILLY
Has Experience In Subway In Which
Element Of Gratitude Was
Lacking.

On one of the intermittent warm
days of this winter certain Mrs.
Upper-Westend, who is as kind-heart-
ed as she is handsome and we'll
dressed; took Subway train down
town to call at her husbands office
and go to luncheon with him.
1--WE had another experience, Billy"
she said to her husband upon reach
ing her destination. There was q
poorly dressed woman sitting next to
me in the train, and when she got up
to leave l saw that she had left her
fur on the seat and l called to her
Now wouldn't you have thought she
would have been grateful to me? Not
a bit. That's all you get for telling
people they've lost something. She
gave me the queerest, most disagree
able look, and at first l thought she
wouldn't come back. 1t made me
cross, SO only waved my hand at the
fur, and she snatched 1t up and went
off without even saying thank you.
You needn't look so queer, Billy,
suppose you think am meddling
again, but you wouldn't have let her
go off without her furi 1t was such
pretty one, too. 1t Is surprising
what good things some poor people
wear"
You shouldn't leave off your own
fur even If It is warm day." re-
marked Mr.. Billy, dryly, and Mrs.
Billy, throwing hasty glance over
her pretty self and her belongings,
answered with little shrek:
"Oh, I only threw 1t over my arm.
You don't suppose that It was my new
Christmas fur that that horrid woman
went off with, Billy"
And that was just what had hap
pened.

Market for Condensed MILK.

The United States consul feels sure
that there's promising market In
Malta for condensed milk, Fresh
cows milk is scarce in Malta" he
writes, "and most Maltese use goats
milk. There are about 10000 milch
goats in the islands They are driven
from house to house and milked in the
presence of the buyer. Goats are tied
at the doors of Maltese cafes and
when milk is wanted for coffee the
animal is milked by the owner. AS a
large proportion of the goats have
Mediterranean fever germs. the for
eign residents refrain from using their
milk and the British garrison is for
bidden to consume It."

Soon after the bond was signed the

The crown princess of Ronmania,
granddaughter Of Queen Victoria. who
is to represent her husbands country
at the coronation of her cousin. King
George Of England. bears striking re-
semblance TO Queen Mary, although the
crown princess is by far the better
looking of the two. The crown prin.
cess was the Princess Marie of SAKE
Coburg. daughter of the late Prince Al
fred of Saxe-Coburg and of the Grand
Duchess Marie of Russia, an, aunt to
the ear Although the Sake oburg
princesses were considered royal beau
ties, yet none of them made especially
good matches, Pincess Marie, the ED
est, marrying the insignificant Ferdi-
nand, heir to the Roumunian throne,
shortly aftei all Europe had been en-
tertained with the story of his love af-
fair with Mile Helen Vaceresco, one of
the waiting maids of his aunt. Queen
Elizabeth Of Roumauia. Although Prin-
cess Maries married life with the
gloomy and not very popular crown
prince has not been a particularly hap
py one, she commands the admiration
and devotion OF the Roumanans. In
every possible way she has tried to
ametorate their condition, lending her
name and influence to every worthy
charity in the Roumanian capital and
endeavoring to popularize the national
embroideries, faces and jewelry. Prin-
cess Marie, unlike Queen Mary, likes
Americans and encourages them TO
visit the Roumanian capital.
