PRIMITIVE WAGONS.
The Russian Bashkir Is the Oldest
Type Still In Use.

saere is an interesting collection OF
wheeled vehicles in the National mu.
scum In Washington which was got
together for the purpose or showing
the development Of conveyances for
men and chattels from the most prlm-
tive times One OF the exhibits is
a full sized carette or OK cart used
by the Indians Of Arizona and New
Mexico as well as In some Of the re-
mote parts of Spain. This cart was
brought over by the early Spanish set
tiers. 1t has wheels about three and
a half feet I'm diameter, made of three
pieces of timber fastened together with
dowels OF wood, the wheel being thick
at the center to form the hub.
Another primitive type Of wagon
known as the Red river cart and used
by the half breeds in Canada has five
foot wheels. the wheels in this case
having spokes, twelve In number. The
native driver of this cart sits In it
with his feet higher than his hips,
the shafts being higher than the bed
OF the wagon. There is also repro
duction OF an Egyptian chariot in the
collection. the wheels OF which have
twelve spokes, with slots In them near
the hub SO that a rope can be run
through to hold the spokes firmly in
place.
What is thought to be the oldest type
OF vehicle still in use is the Russian
bashklr or child's coach. with wheels
made out OF solid slab OF wood, hav-
ing holes burned through the center
for the axle.-New York Sun.

Eniuma of Gravitation.

Gravitation Is one Of natures enlg'
mas. The great Newton himself did
not pretend to know what gravitation
is. He only knew that it existed, and
he was able TO prove how 1t acted, but
what it was I'm and OF itself he never
knew. Gravitation is a law OF ma
ture or a force acting in accordance
with a law of nature. and that is all
that the wisest man is able 10 say
about it-unless he is prepared to talk
nonsense. II is like electricity. We
know perfectly well what electricity
does, but what electricity itself is
battles the profoundest OF scientists and
philosophers. New York American.

PUNISHED THE SHREW.
Story Of the vixen's Head That Deco
rates a House In Berlin.

In Berlin, as tourist turns into the
Heiligengelst. not far from the kai-
ser's palace, he will see. fixed in niche
In the second story OF the house No.
80. a bust carved In stone. This is
called the "Neidkopf." 1t represents
a hideous, harpy faced woman, with
snakelike curls OF hair and tongue
sticking out in mocking derision. This
is the story Of It's origin and purpose:
One day almost 200 years ago Fred
erick William Of Prussia, "Old Fritz"
was walking about the streets OF his
city In the shabby, free and easy way
be loved. looking about for some griev
ance TO redress or some load to tighten
which was an agreeable habit Of this
plain living king. Looking In at win
dow. he was struck by the intent in
dustry of humpbacked goldsmith.
and so the king entered the little shop
for q chat The result OF this inter
view was an order for gold table serv.
ice for the royal household, which
made the fortune Of the hunchback.
Later the king made other visits to
see ho wthe work was progressing and
on one of these occasions noticed
woman in the window of the opposite
house. making the most hideous grim
aces and pointing a derisive finger at
the little cripple.
What Is the matter with the shrew
over there?" asked Frederick William.
ut is envy, your majesty" exclaimed
the goldsmith. ''She is the wife Of
rival goldsmith. and ever since your
majesty gave me this order she and
her daughter have not ceased to mock
and deride me.
Frederick William, paternal In pun
ishment as well as in reward, at once
made inquiries as to the ownership Of
the house wherein this shrew lived.
He found that it belonged to her hus-
band, and therefore reasoned that
there was little likelihood Of the fam
lily moving. This seemed TO please
him. He next enlisted the services OF
sculptor and ordered him to make
the bust Of a woman with the most
shrewlsh. Xantippe like face be could
imagine. The king then bought and
renovated the house in which the
hunchback had his workshop, present
ed 1t to him and caused the bust to
be placed conspicuously above the
workroom window. Thus whenever
the envlous woman across the street
looked forth from her easement the
first thing on which her eyes fell was
this intended portrait of her amiable
self
For more than 100 years the "Neid
kopf," 'splteful vixen head" as one
would say in English, stood In proud
prominence, reproach to the envious
Frau Goldschmied and her descend
ants. 1t afterward mysteriusly dis
appeared. but In 1910 or therea bouts
it was found again in forgotten col
lection OF brlc-a-brac. Frederick Will
liam w. bought the bust for a very
large price and had it replaced in its
original niche, where 1t stands today

GOVERNMENT PROFITS.
Uncle Sam Has Good Income From
Few Side Lines.

Uncle Sam Has a Good Income From
Few Side Lines.
Customs receipts and internal reve-
nue. taxation furnish the bulk Of the
governments income, but the govern
ment profits by a snug sum from the
sources that grow out of sovereignty
usually on the penny saved, penny
earned" principle. For instance, about
$3,00O,000 OF small change is absorb
ed I'm the channels of trade each year.
During periods Of great prosperity
this amount has been as high as $5,.
100000.
Buying for 80 cents n pound blanks
that Will make ninety nickel five cent
pieces is profitable business. The gain
is hardly less In one cent pieces. The
silver in the quarter dollar would not
now cost more than 10 cents, although
1t was somewhat higher when the
stock now being minted was purchased.
The treasury Is the gamer from the
destruction Of paper money not re-
deemed. II also derives an income
from patents in the form Of fees that
patentees pay for the privilege OF
mOnopOlizlng their inventions and thus
in a slight degree shares their profits.
Other returns OF this sort might be
enumerated. but the receipts growing
out of sovereignty are limited In scope
and are, after all, merely indirec:
forms of taxation.-Harper's Weekly.

COOKING VEGETABLES.
Use Uncovered Utensils Except For
Dried Beans or Peas.

Use Uncovered Utensils Except For
Dried Beans or Peas.
Two mistakes are commonly MADE
in preparing vegetables for the table:
The FIRST of these Ia the practice or
keepng the vessel tightly covered dur
ing the entire process of cooking Ihls
is done usually with an idea OF pre-
venting the dissemination of unpleas-
ant odors through the house. But the
effect Of il Is directly the opposite. The
odors confined within the vessel grow
instead more rank with the chemical
changes that take place. and when the
vessel is opened occasionally. as It
must he. these extremely disagreeable
odors escape BESIDES this. the vege-
tables themselves are made less Ill
gestible when cooked I'm this way, with
the exception OF dried beans or dried
peas
The second mistake commonly made
is that Of cooking vegetables too long.
Instead Of being made more tender 10y
prolonged cooking many vegetables are
made unpalatable and indigestible.
Cabbage. for instance. If cooked the
right length of time. Is pleasing OF
flavor and for most persons entirely
digestible. but IL cooked too long 1t
causes indigestion and loses Its navor.

SWORDS OF JAPAN.
Religious Rites Follow Every Process
of Their Making.

Religious Rites Follow Every Process
of Their Making.
The sword making of Japan Is per
haps the most curious in the whole
world. In that country swords said to
be equal TO those of Toledo or Damas-
Gus are made by a special series OF
processes, but feature of the industry
is the religious ceremonial that accom-
panics every process.
On the walls OF the huts In which
the work Is done are representations OF
the god Of the sword makers and the
chief goddess OF the Shintos. There
are also bits OF paper and wisps OF
straw, charms to keep away evil spir-
its. No female is allowed to enter the
place, as the presence of women is sup
posed TO be conducive to the appear
ance of demons, who would certainly
bring disaster TO the swords mission
Prayer IS offered before the work be
gins. and various religious rites must
be performed before any one of the
swords can be declared TO have been
well and truly made.
The last thing that takes place after
the polishing and sharpening of the
swords Is the Offering of them one by
one to the sword god to be blessed.
The weapon is placed in front OF the
kakemona ON the wall, with an Offering
of saki. rice and sweetmeats, after
which prayer scrolls are read ana a
blessing upon the work Is invoked
