PLAGUE OF INDIAN MONKEYS

A plague of monkeys some years
ago sorely troubled the officials at a
small station on the Saran railway.
in Northwest India. Trucks full of
grain for export were often stored
up in the station, and the monkeys
came down in large number from a
neighboring grove to help themselves
TO the grain, picking holes in the tar
paulin roof of the wagons.
The officials were wearied ont wAssA
keeping watch ard soaring cvay tb>
thieves, who daily ssew bodies till an
ingenious guard HE upon a strategem.
For several days sweets and traits
were put on the roofs of the wagons.
with the result that the whole OF the
monkey colony were attracted to the
spot, and soon became perfectly In
different to man.
One morning, when they were all
busily feeding. an engine was stealth
lily attached to the wagons, and sud
denly the train moved off. The mon
keys were quite scared, and made no
attempt to escape, sitting crouched
together till the train had gone sew
eral miles and stopped at a jungle.
Then they wanted no hint to leave.
Every monkey leaped down bowling
and fled into the jungle, whence they
never returned to trouble the railway.

WHAT MAKES THE CORN POP?

A grain of popcorn is filled with
tightly-packed starch grains. The in
terror of the grain is divided into a
large number of cells, each of which
may be likened to tiny box, the
walls whereof are sufficiently strong
to withstand considerable pressure
from within Upon the application Of
heat the moisture present in each lit
tie box is converted into steam that
finally escapes by explosion.
To obtain satisfactory popping"
there is required a very high degree
of heat This causes the greater part
of the cells to explode simultaneously.
The grain of corn then literally
turns inside out and is transformed
into a relatively large mass of snow
white starch.
If corn be old and dry it will not
pop" satisfactorily. A few cells near
the center of the grain may burst, but
the general result will be unsatisfac-
tory. At the base of the kernels,
where they are attached to the cob,
the cells appear to be driest, and 1t.
has been observed that these cells are
seldom broken in the popping"
Practically all the popcorn raised
for market in this country comes
from New England. Great quantities
of it are popped, buttered and packed
for sale all over the United States.

DUMB, SHOCKED TO SPEECH

At Kamloops, B. c., Andrew For
syth, after having been stone deaf
and totally dumb for period exceed
ing fourteen years, suddenly recov-
cred both senses as the result OF a
shock. The good fortune of Forsyth
was practically synonymous with the
misadventure which cost John Ed
munds his life.
Edmunds had been helping himself
to a ride on a train as 1t ran slowly
through the city, and, losing his foot
Ing, fell to death under the wheels.
Forsyth was one of those who ran
forward to gaze at the body, and in
his horror he screamed.
He heard his own shout and also
the talk of others, and forthwith
Joined in the conversation, although
his lips had framed no word for al
most fifteen years Neither the
physicians nor Forsyth attempt to
explain the miracle except in saying
that the sudden shock succeeded
where medical and surgical science
had proved of no avail.

The remarkable animal here pictur-

marsupials known as monotremes, of
which the duck-billed platypus and the
echinda of Australia are the best
known types. The body Of these ex-

short, blackish fur, mingled with sharp
spines. The mouth is placed at the
extremity of a long, trunk-like snout

tongue carrying a sticky secretion,

daytime in some crevice beneath a

and squat tight down to the ground,
partially burying themselves in any
dead leaves or rubbish that may be at
hand.

ODD CUSTOMS IN SCHWALM

Many quaint customs linger among
the village folks who live in the val
les o. :he Schwalm in western Ger
many- When young man needs a
wife he always chooses her from
among the maidens of the valley He
does not waste much time between
the engagement and the wedding
The young man asks the consent of
the father, who, after discussing the
bridegroom's property and the dowry
Of his daughter, and coming to fav-
orable conclusion, seals the important
business by witnessing the handshake
of the young couple in the presence
Of the relations. Two months later
always between the hay and corn
harvest-the wedding takes place.
Preparations for the wedding feast
occupy many days. A pig has been
slaughtered and the sausages hang in
long rows. About so cakes ar q baked
in the ovens and clean, fresh straw is
strewn on the floor. Garlands are
made to adorn the house, and great
oakleaf wreath surrounding "A hearty
welcome" Is placed above the door of
the festive house.
On the wedding morning the bride
is awake early. At about 7:45 o'clock
she is already dressed in her fullest
wedding attire. She sits, looking very
patient and dignified. putting on her
head the bridal crown which has TAX
en- at least an hour to prepare. 1t is
trimmed with % rows Of red, gray,
and silver ribbons while the front is
adorned with rosemary, glass balls,
and flowers. The bride also wears an
elaborate stomacher embroidered in
gold and silver The bridal outfit OF
Is petticoatS, a cloth skirt, satin pima
fore, ornaments, stockings, gold en-
broidered garters, silk handkerchief
and long gloves costs over 600 marks.
For two years of married life the
bride is permitted to wear lilac and
green, but after that she dresse en-
toirely in black.
To the Woodworking Schwalmer
folk a wedding Is the brightest and
gayest moment of their lives. The
bridegroom in his long-skirted coat
adorned with the dewwing insignia
has an imposing appearance He, too,
wears a gorgeous wedding headgear,
an enormous erection almost hiding
his whole face, composed of many silk
ribbons, yellow, green, and orange.
Perched upon the very top is circu-
lar basket filled with red flowers,
glass balls, and rosemary. The brides.
maids have SO much gold embroidery
upon their stomachers and ribbons
that they absolutely glitter in the sun
shine.

FRENCH JEWELRY IN VOGUE
Artificial Trnkets Are Now Worn by
the Best Dressed Of the So
cIety Women.

With the makers of this attractive
Jewelry growing more clever each
year and copying more closely the
genuine, it has long since ceased to
be social error for the well-dressed
woman to use it. The designs are ar
tistic, the pieces useful and the as
sortment offered so wonderfully large,
woman has at her disposal innumer-
able little trinkets for her adorn-
ing
1t is particularly suited for gift
giving, particularly from one woman
to another. Now that earrings are
so very much the vogue one may Aave
the right kind for each gown, when
the most elaborate pair seldom costs
a sum ever two figures and much
more frequently one below it. The
pearl and rhinestone effects are es-
pecially good, and there are cleaning
pendants, little bowknots and other
ornaments with which to deck our
ears and fill our trinket boxes.
Then there are corsage pins to hold
ones flowers in place, delicate trifles
that are almost as pretty as the bios
SONS they hold. Slipper buckles, too,
are in this French jewelry-enamelled
and jeweled and rhinestone affairs
that look their best when decorating
satin, kid or suede slipper.
What with ruffies and frills and
Robespierre collars and other neck
fixings, she is an unusual woman who
does not need for several bar
pins. If the stones are glass and the
pearls baroque, the gems rhinestone
and the metal but neargold, one may
procure the prettiest of them for
quite moderate sum.

To Shrink Wooiens.

The question is frequently asked
how to shrink wooden goods, and for
the benefit of those who have task
of this nature here Is a simple meth
cd: Wet a sheet and spread it out on
a table. Then place one thickness CT
the goods lengthwise of the sheet
Begin at one end and roll sheet and
goods together Lay the roll of goods
away on a platter or waiter until
morning. After unrolling the goods
press on the wrong side with hot
iron. If there should be any doubt
about the right side of the goods be-
fore shrinking 1t would be better
after determining the right side to
mark it by sewing a bit of cloth near
a corner so there will be no trouble
in ascertaining the right side after
shrinking.
