Very few children think of growing
orchids on the window sill, but these
can really be raised at home with
very little trouble. OF course, the
flowers in bloom seldom cost less than
a dollar a piece and very often more,
but the plants are not so very expen-
sive. All that you need is a soap box,
covered with q piece of glass. Put
the plants in this and place the box in
a window where they can get plenty
of sunlight. They won't require much
attention besides watering, and this
needn't be done often. as the glass top
will keep the water frQn evaporating
very rapidly. In winter, though, your
little hothouse will have to be heated
In some way. The easiest way to do
this, If your house is lighted with
electricity, is to run a wire into the
box and heat it with an electric light,

Didn't Look Like an Actor.

way star for several seasons, made
his first big hit in the part Of Stub
Talmage in "The College Widow"
Larry had not long been out of col
lege when the AIDE comedy was fin
ishing its long run at the Garden the
ater. Two companies were to be
placed on the road and Wheat, who
had seen the play several times, felt
that he was born to play the part of
Stub" Accordingly he waited upon
Henry w. Savage. the producer.
Savage studied the applicant keen

Stub?" said the colonel. What makes
you think you can play the part?"
I'm just that sort of type" said
Wheat, swelling up his chest and try

WELL" said the colonel, I'VE need

part. Are you an actor?"

Some Words You Don't Know.

What Is the use of coming slang
words to express your meaning in a
more picturesque fashion than your
neighbor when the dictionary Is full
of words just as queer and far more
correct. Here are few perfectly
good words to be found in any com
plete dictionary of the English Ian
guage. But don't you go to the die
tionary for them-yet. See first If you
can figure out their meaning. Then,
when you have looked them up, spring
them on the next fellow. He will eth.
er brand you as highbrow or else
admire you as the inventor of new
language, though you are neither.
Here are the words
Opuscule, tobacconing, noddy, node,
futtock, galimatias, fadie. duvet, dig
getail. dwale, periotic. predicant
younker, quintal. propense. quib, beck
ct. chauvinism, beluga, gar. hypostyle,
aoudad. incondite, inly. kelp. jorum,
rundlet, rupertrine, caddis, fissle, cal.
car. finder, hopple, horary. thorp, usi-
tative, woof, arcolith, gaum.
All Of them In the diction. Almost
none of them jawbreakefs or over
long. What do any of them mean?

Passing of the ParIor

Another sign of the times is the
passing of the parlor and the making
OF the best room in the house the llv-
ing room. Time was when the parlor
was like a new suit of clothes, only
to be used on special occasions. 1t
was usually furnished with uncomfort-
able chairs that were covered up dur
ing the week and used on Sunday.
Times have changed, however, and
people are furnishing rooms, instead
of parlors. Here we find the piano
and big, comfortable chairs that are
ready for business all the time. Some
of the big houses have the drawing
room, but In the average home, the liv-
ing room has taken the place of the
parlor. 1t is only another sign that
people are realizing the necessity of
having a house furnished in real,
'homelike fashion.

MAKE LIVING BY THEIR WITS
American Adventures Who Have Got
Wealthy Through shady Deals
In South America.

Ever hear Of Jim Dugan Of Curacao7
Well, Jim started revolution In Cen
tral America some years ago, and was
put out. He landed in Curacao with a
stew and IS gold piece. With the
money he bought a lottery ticket, and
won prize. While he still had the
money a man who owned saloon,
and who was looking for sucker.
sold out to him. But Jim has flourish
ed. He got hold of seal belonging
to an American life insurance COM
pany, and he stamps his letters with
that, and calls himself the Irish con-
sui. When / was in to see Jim this
time i found that everything passed
as currency over his bar. He has a
drawerful Of such things as false
teeth and glass eyes, and one morn
Ing saw man come in and ask for
liquor and then calmly take out his
eye and put 1t on the counter.
But In Buenos Aires there lives and
operates an American who is the pro-
totype of ]. Rufus Wallingford. He
makes specially of turning out old
masters and selling them at fancy
prices to the wealthy Argentinians,
who like to blow their money for
works of art. This chap got hold
Of Frenchman who can paint, and
he does the actual work, and they
dry them with electric fans. When ]
was there the electric fans we're play
ing on three Van Dykes. There was an
elderly woman, bit daft, who fancied
she was stuck on the president of
Argentina. What does the American
do but get hold of man who knows
the old lady, and cause him to per-
suade her that the president is par
tial to Van Dykes. Soon she gives
the American an order for painting.
and he collects the sum of $4,000,
of which the go-between gets 1000
and the artists $500. The last report
had from him was to the effect: you
ask about the nutty old lady?
am getting afraid she might rub some
of the paint off that old master, and
this would. affect my artistic sensibili-
ties"
This chap has got hold Of ali sorts
of concessions. When / first knew
him, by the way, he was a colonel in
the Nicaraguan army. One of his
most successful ventures was to start
q watch club, In which you pay one
dollar for initiation, and then run the
chances Of getting watch. Well, the
American showed high municipal
official in Buenos Aires that in a
watch club there is pretty big per
centage for whoever is running 1t.
with the result that 10000 policemen
and other government employees were
ordered to become members.

LETTER "CAME BACK"
AND THE QUESTION 10, WHERE
HAD 1T BEEN7
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett Would
Like an Answer, n Any One VIII
Reason IL to Her Complete
Satisfaction.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett tells
a true story which she calls "The Mys-
tery of My Life" And truly 1t is q
imystifying occurrence.
1t was some time ago, while she was
living in England. One night she and
a friend were spending quiet eve
ming by the fire, chatting, reading.
Mrs. Burnett's friend, be 1t understood,
sat throughout the event In an arm
chair by the fire, and did not leave
her place until all was over, 80 that,
as In the case of conjurers, there could
have been mo deception" on her part
Mrs Burnett went in the course of
the evening to her desk and wrote a
letter She signed, folded, directed,
sealed and stamped it, and stood it up
against silver cigarette box on the
center table. Then she arose to go
and sit by the fire again.
Presently, wishing the letter post
ed, she started to take steps toward
having it mailed. She looked for It on
the center table, and the letter was
not there. She looked all over the
table In vain. She rubbed her eyes
and looked again. She knew she had
stood that letter up against the silver
cigarette box, but 1t was not there.
No one had entered the room, no one
had left IT.; her friend had sat mo-
tionless by the fire.
Mrs. Burnett said to herself: az
ones eyes are held.
A thing may be staring one straight
in the face and not be seen. It may
seem to be masquerading as something
else!" And she began systematically
examining each object on the table
separately, picking it up, naming it.
and setting 1t down again. to make
sure that it was itself and not the let
ter.
rs this the letter? No, this is a
Dresden china bonbon dish. Is this 1t
No, this Is a brass candlestick; this
is magnifying glass; this is an ivory
paper cutter; this is carved wooden
box; this is a rose jar; this is an ash
receiver, and this, finally, is silver
cigarette box, and there is nothing
else on the table, and there is neither
hide nor hair of letter to be seen!"
Completely at loss, Mrs. Burnett
strolled about the room to examine
other possible surfaces where the let
ter might have been placed, had 1t not
emphatically and Enthusiastically been
put upon the center table against the
cigarette box. She searched on the
mantelpiece, on her desk, on the pi-
ano, on the bookcase-no letter. In
encouragement she turned again to
the center table for another hunt.
There stood the letter demurely lean
ing against the silver cigarette box,
exactly as she had placed 1t.
And that such things are possible,
and that they happen to such perfectly
sane, clear-eyed, level-headed ard re-
liable people as Mrs. Burnett is per-
fectly credible. Have we not all had
similar experiences? And If they were
not possible, whence come the world
old beliefs in elementals, in mischie-
yous sprites, In elves and brownies
who play pranks upon us poor, dull
mortals? Explain 1t how we may, that
ls what happened to Mrs. Burnett.

HOUSEHOLD
Home and Company Manners.

cit is evident that many parents
instill into the minds of their chill
dren two distinct codes of behavior,
known as home manners and company

in Suburban Life for November, in a
strong article on 1.-The Suburban
Woman and the Problem of Manners. p"
''In the citadel of home and surround
ed by those who will bear and for

Good manners worth the name, should
be practiced at home, if anywhere.
We have -F1ot improved very much

of all, the saving gift of silence when

Prevention and Cure of Consumption.
There are over five hundred lives
lost every day, or ore every three
minutes, in the United States through
consumption alone. One person in
every seven that dies in New York
city, dies of this disease. This great
tragedy, constantly going on, cannot
be stopped at once, but the spread of
the disease can and should be dimin-
ished each year. AS many persons
who have consumption, can be cured,
every city and county in the United
States should have public provision
for the open air treatment of such
cases There should also be hospitals
in these localities TOR the care and
treatment of persons in the advanced
stages who are beyond the hope of
recovery, and are dangerous centers
