EXCELLENT HOUSE FOR DOLLS
egg Box, Which Had Section Of Wood

ond Story-Total Cost 70 Cents.

One day when l was playing with
my dolls thought 1t would be nice to
nave house for them, to have shell
ter from the sun, says writer in the
Chicago Tribune.
went down in the cellar and found
an egg box. which had a section of
wood in the middle, which made a first
and second story for my house.
busted the box and removed all
unnecessary nails. then cut out win
oows four inches wide and seven
lnches long and pasted mica on the in
SIDE to serve as glass. On the walls
l pasted green wall paper. pasted
waite paper. with pink roses. on the
walls of the bedroom.
Ihen there were the floors. What
could use for carpets? | deciLed to
use velvet.
bought the furniture for the living
room. made 1t for the bedroom. For
the bee | took a block of WOOD and
covered 1t with white lawn, and made
lew sheets for 1t and a small pink
pillow. ! am sure every girl who can
sew KNOWS how to make a doll pillow.
FOR the chairs took a block of wood
and pasted cardboard on for the
Dacks; then covered them with calico
TO match the wall paper. Then |
pasted some pictures on the walls,
which drew myself.
Now my house was almost complete,
all but the curtains. which | quickly
made from a piece of lace | hemmed
the lace and tackled it up on the win
dow. and it certainly made a very
pretty curtain. In the living in
stead Of lace curtains, l made them
from calico.
My house was complete and 1t did
not cost very much, because most of
the material found somewhere about
the house. But should some girl like
to make one. she would need to know

Recognizing People.

Data have been gathered in Ger.
many with reference to the distance
at which persons may be recognized
by their faces and figures. If one
has good eyes, the Germans claim,
one cannot recognize a person whom
he. has seen only once at a greater
distance than SO feet. If the person
is well known to one, one may recog-
nize him at 300 feet and If 1t is a
member Of ones family, even at 500
feet.-Scientific American.

Explanation of coIors Of Leaves.

In extremely moist atmosphere the
color of the leaves are not usually very
bright, as In England. And in very
dry climates the leaves dry up sud-
denly, and their skin, which is very
thick to prevent the escape Of moist
ure. is not sufficiently transparent to
allow the color to be seen beneath. In
regions where the autumn foliage is
most vivid we find that an average sea-
son produces the most exquisite colora.
Neither a very dry nor very wei sum-
mer will result in much brilliancy.

Medical Expert Says Bible
Not Authority on LeprOsy.

TACOMA, Wash. March 19.-After a
hearing IN which the Bible figured as
an authority on leprosy, Superior Judge
Clifford declined yesterday to issue a
restraining order preventing the coun-
ty authorities from fencing in John
R. Early, the supposed leper on the
property he occupied at Summit View,
a suburb.
Expert witnesses declared there was
practically 10 danger of anyone con-
tracing the disease from Early. In an
attempt to controvert this attorneys
for the Summit View residents quoted
passages from the Bible. DR.. r. NJ.
Brown, a surgeon in the Philippine
war, testified that he did not believe
the Bible competent authority on
medical subjects.
Early recently was offered a posi-
ton by the government caring for an
other leper, but because of his en-
feebled state was unable to take it.

Morgan to Spend $4,000

NEW YORK, March 19.-Following
j. P. Morgan's long sojourn in Egypt
this winter, reports have reached this
city to the effect hat he is negotiat-
ing for the purchase and removal to
America of the famous ruins Of the
Temple of Philae. The temple Is
threatened with destruction owing to
the rise in the level of the upper Nile
as a result of the enlargement of the
Assouan dam. The ancient edihce is
already partly submerged and the
completion of the dam extension will
probably obliterate the entire ruin.
The cost of the work which Mr.. Morl
gan is said to contemplte would be
more than S. 00, 900.
