Meant Their Work to Last.

Some of the early stones of Welsh
slate in New England burial grounds
show very fine carving, evidently the
product of English rather than
Colonial workmen The enduring
quality of these memorials is evident
on comparison between them and
other stones put up at much later
date In one of the old yards at
Billerica. Mass, many of the stones Of
mid-eighteenth century dates are
badly scaled and partially illegible,
while the Oldest stone in the yard,
dated 1854, shows no serious effect
of weather and others almost as old
are equally plain; practically un-
changed after two centuries of expo
sure to the New England climate.

Natural hai> Becoming Scarce, Deal
ere In Artificial Product Are
Driven to Extremities.

No one outside the artificial hair
business knows the difnculty that
merchants In hair-goods have expert
enced in getting material OF sufficient
quality-espeeially In braids-at any
thing like the prices which most peo-
pie are willing to pay. Many coun-
tries. indeed. place such restrictions
on wig-makers. owing to hygienic rea-
sons, that natural hair Is becoming
more and more rare.
In certain parts OF France the ex-
pedient was resorted to OF making
wigs from certain hbrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served TO furnish mate
rial for rugs and blankets. BY split
ting the fibers very fine and treating
them chemically, 1t was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor In
yolved the asking OF prices that
were almost prohibitive. Moreover,
complaints were made that the substi-
tute was not satisfactory. Horsehair
was treated to like process Of d.
vision and Frightening, but the imita-
tion, except for the very poor class of
trade, signally failed. Now, thanks TO
a series Of experiments, it has been
found possible to utilize spun crystal
for the purpose, reducing it to any
shade which may be desired and to
any degree of finenes. Indeed. the
resemblance to human hair is said to
be all but absolute. The new product
has the advantage, moreover, of
weighing very little, and hair" made
of glass presents an appearance of
luster and is, above all, thoroughly
hygienic.-Harper's Weekly.

4sUPES" ROSE TO OCCASION
Manager Threw Real Money on Stage
and the Mob Scene Became at
Once Realistic.

"Stage money" that commodity
which has been the butt of jokes for
generations, may soon lose its signifi-
cance II the example just set by one
manager is followed generally.
This wise individual is going to put
on new play very soon and re-
hearsals are now in progress. There is
a mob scene in the play and the hero
at a critical moment throws handful
of money to the crowd.
When rehearsals first began the
stage manager found much difficulty in
getting the necessary ginger" into the
scene, as the supernumeraries did not
show any great enthusiasm in scram-
bling for the coin. They knew its real
value.
Then bright idea struck the man.
ager. He knew that as thespians get
no salary while rehearsing they are
sometimes hard up, so he decided to
mix some real money with the stage
article that is thrown to the crowd.
The effect was magical. The scram-
BILE Is so realistic that the manager is
looking forward anxiously to the first
night to see the effect on the audi
ence. But those who read this will
know the real secret of the wonderful

WHY "vIcTORY" WAS DUSTY
Housemaid Feared Further Damage
to statuette Already Subjected

A New York woman engaged a new
housemaid the other day, and was
Immediately delighted at the exhibI-
tion of the new servants efficiency.
Norah waited on the table with per-
feet mastery; she answered the front
doorbell with matchless grace: she
never once grumbled when told that
she must wear cap; her busting was
marvel of orderliness.
But the mistress OF the apartment
was astonished, when the new maid
had been in the house about a week,
to find that her cherished Victory OF
Samothrace" was covered with dust.
The beautiful headless body stood
gray and unloyely on its pedestal, and
the 'Victory's' owner called Norah to
see what the matter might be.
I can't understand this, Norah, :
she said. Everything else is kept
SO spotless. How have you happened
to neglect the little statue. Have you
busted it at all 2"
Norah admitted that she had not,
and said no more.
But why?" the mistress persisted.
"Why?' And then, miserably, the
maid owned up.

LIFE VERSUS DEATH BREAD
Physician Claims Much for Prepare

Death bread" he said, laid me
low. Death bread kept me a dyspep
tic for ten long, sad years. And life
bread has made me my own buoyant
healthy. happy self again.
What do / mean by death bread
l mean ordinary bread. Why do l call
it death bread2 Because it is alive
with putrefactive germs-beeause, by
more than one authority, the yeast
cells in 1t are said to be identical
with the diseased cells of pus-and,
therefore, are poison.
Yeast, in fact, is as unhealthy as
its sickly smell and musty, Shiny con-
sistency would lead you to believe.
1t is mass OF living germs-and
along with these are mingled putre-
factiye germs. Yeast is a very harm
full thing. 1t makes bread a very
harmful thing. All bread made with
yeast is death bread.
Life bread-that is what l eat. l

Il over hot fire in a thick iron sauce
pan. The grains, an inch deep in
the pan, are stirred continually. They
pop, like popcorn, and, when all have
popped-it is a matter of about ten
minutes-my life bread is done.
Each grain of this life bread is
loaf, a miniature, delicious loaf,
brown and crisp, that falls to powder
on being bitten. Life bread must be
kept in air-tight tins. 1t is the health
lest, the most nourishing, and the
best-favored bread in existence. But
it must be confessed that the loaves
are rather small"

Auto Took Long Jump.

With the ease of veteran hunter
taking hurdle, Sydney, N. S. W.,
taxicab recently cleared a 10h-foot
ditch, landing on the opposite side
with every tire burst, front doors
telescoped, axles badly bent, and the
framework strained and knocked out
of gear. The chauffeur and inmates,
however, were quite unhurt save for
severe shaking. Workmen were en-
gagged in taking out a culvert on the
road at this point, and had removed
the decking. At noon they had left
work to eat lunch in a nearby field;
and 1t was at this juncture that the
car came speeding along, the chauf-
feur failing to notice the condition of
the road.

Flying Powers Of Birds.

The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions is
extraordinary. and as one listens to
their plaintive cries coming from the
darkness overhead 1t is difficult to
realize that in few hours these same
birds may be within the arctic circle
and little later may be even cross
ing the pole itself. Less is
known of the actual dates of the de-
parture of the migratory birds in au-
tumn than of those OF their arrival
earlier in the year, and this for obvi-
GUS reasons. The way in which our
most charming songsters silently
skulk out of the country in the autumn
is very different from that in which
they make their triumphal entry in
the spring when every wood and copse
resounds with their melodies Wind

Jealous Fishes In a Duel.

Fish are liable to the same pas
slons as you and l. and they fight and
love as We do" said DR.. Francis Ward.
= can show you a photograph of a
rainbow trout in what would have
been a fight to the death If had not
interfered. In pond were a big fe-
male trout and her partner, who re-
sented the intrusion of another trout.
Suddenly one fish charged the 9th
er and seized him by the jaw. He
shook his opponent as a dog shakes a
rat, and kept on until his enemy float
ed TO the top. Then I took the fish
out and revived 1t with a little weak
whisky and water"

When Liberty la License.

Liberty is the portion of people
who delight in humanity. who revere
justice, despise flattery and venerate
truth. While you are not such a peo-
pie, o my fellow citizens, in vain will
you talk of liberty. Instead of liberty
you will have RIGHTEOUSNESS. and to
that you will all in your turns fall
victims. You will ask for bread and
will get-dead bodies! And at
length you will bow down your necks
to the yoke, and find your vile refuge
in the rule of espot.-Mme. Ro-

Theory and Experiment.

Theory and experiment must go
aand in hand, and much depends on
ene as much as on the other, not
nerely on its accuracy but also upon
Is nature. Hundreds of experiments
nay be made, which, however, not.
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march Of human progress In the right
direction; they may of course in
ages count for much, but the chief
thing is that the experiment should
be OF the right kind, and it is often
desirable that as much time. if not
even more time. should be spent in
deciding upon the right thing to be
dcne than in doing that thing itself.
One bad theory is often worse than
ten bad experiments, because even
Il these are properly carried out, they
may yet, If based upon false notions,
add little or nothi..s, If not to the
store at least to the advancement of
knowledge; and count almost for as
little as the one bad experiment
whether based upon theory or not

TAcTFUL VOTER WAS THIS
Simple Peasant Cast His Ballot to Ac-
compartment of Delicious
Bit of Humor.

The simple people of Alsace, who
retain in their hearts strong love
for France at the same time that
they are desirous not to offend their
German rulers too much, frequently
have hard time of it when they are
brought to the ballot box to vote for
representatives in the German parlia-
ment.
In one election in a certain Alsa-
tian district the two candidates were
Kable, an Alsatian of French sympa-
thies, who had protested against the
annexation after the war of 1870, and
German. On election day peasant
came to the polling place, which was
presided over by German official,
The peasant had in one hand ticket
on which was printed the name Of
Kable, and in the other a ticket bear
ing the name of the German candi-
date.
"Mein Herr" he said to the German
election official, will you tell me
which Of these tickets is the better
one?"
The officer looked at them. why,
this is much preferable" said he, in
dicating the Germans ticket.
"Ah, thank you answered the
peasant. Il will keep 1t next my
heart" He folded 1t carefully and put
It inside his coat. "As for this other,
then" said he, with an air of putting
1t away from him as an unworthy
thing, Il will leave It here" And he
put the Kable ticket in the ballot box.

Bee keeplna for Women.

Nothing could induce us to give up
bee keeping for, aside from the profit,
the larger returns of health and hap
piness, the pure joy of living in the
sunshine and watching the tireless
workers as they come in with loads of
pollen and nectar outweigh any finan-
cial consideration" says writer in
Farmers Wife.
To sum 1t all up bee keeping is pre-.
eminently "woman's job" whether
Tor pleasure or profit or for a combi-
nation of both. The financial returns
compare favorably with anything else
from farm or garden. while to those
Who love outdoor life bee keeping is
the most fascinating of all avocations.

Eyeslaht of the Mouaa.

How much does a mouse see? To
look at mouse, one would think that
sight counted for q great deal in its
life; but experiments go to show that
this is only true within certain limits.
Mice are good at distinguishing diff
ferent degrees of illumination and diff
ferent colors (preferring red and vel
low to blue and green), and they are
quick to detect movements; but they
have little sense Of form and little
binocular vision. Microscopic study
shows that the retina has no rods"
and no "fovea."

TORNADO KILLS 81 In
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA

Chicago - Thirty-two persons are
known to have been killed, half a
score were injured so severely that
they may die, and $50 others were
more or less hurt in two tornadoes
which swept over Southern Illinois in
one instance, and across Northern H.
linois and Indiana in the other, just
before sunset Sunday night. Fifteen
were killed at Bush, ILL.,; five at Will
lisville, three at Reddick, ILL.,, and
nine ct Morocco, Ind.
Others may be found beneath the
wreckage of what was Bush, every
building there being demolished.
Forty injured from this town alone
were brought into Murphysboro,
where the storm also severely injured
three late at night.
Houses, sheds and farm buildings
near Coal City were demolished, wind
mills were blown down and many head
of cattle were reported killed. The
tower above mine No. 3 at Carbon
Hill was toppled over.
