Its INTERPRETATION.

ooh, I had such a wonderful dream
last night" said the innocent young
heiress, crossing the gypsy fortune
teller's wrinkled palm with silver. 81
dreamed l saw a sweet little Cupid
coming toward me through the snow.
He was dressed so oddly, for he wore
nothing but a silk hat and a linen
buster trimmed with fur; and he
seemed very hungry, for every now
and then he made a SNOWFALL and ate
it. Tell me, good dame, what my
dream portends!"
My poor child" answered the seer
ess, try to bear the awful truth
you will marry an actor. There is no
other possible Interpretation of such
a dream!"-Puck.

When we were married two years

Too Much PoIIteness.

1t was the day after the Fourth.
There was no rush at the ticket sell
eS's booth and he had time to answer
the query: How do you stand it?"
That's all right" he said, but whsn
people ask questions and do the polite
in rush time-that gets my goat.
Think of people standing at the head
of a long line saying: 'Good-morning
hot enough or L want tickets,
please every word distinct except the
n of most importance. If l hand out
two at a guess the man is sure to
want four. If l had my way there
would be a notice in every ticket booth
reading: Say nothing to the man
inside, except to tell how many tickets
you want. Be polite after you get on

Gliding to go to court and end their

Scenes on the Banks of the Sa-
cred GangeS.
E2the.a In she River-The Devotion
OF the Hindus-The Regeneration
Of lndia-9eIiaious Ideas
A13ng Waterway.

London.-At Benares you realize
that Hinduism is a living thing, and
1t presents itself with a beauty and
pathos which are astonishing to the
visitor who has thought of it only as
Anticipated idoIatry.
Just now the Ganges is low, and
the long flights Of steps, the CHATS, are
bare almost to the bottom, but in the
ruined colonnades and entertainments
and a temple actually slidden into the
water the power and ravages of the
river in fiod are seen. We embark on
a miniature boathouse, and seat our
selves on the roof; and we are slowly
roWed up the stream, as far as the
~tree-covered terrace where Warren
Hastings took refuge from the out
ragged people Of the city; then down
the stream to the mosque with its tall
minarets which Aurungzeb erected to
iout the Hindus and rebuke their
'dolatry, But neither Warren Hast
.ngs nor Aurungzeb, neither Moslem
nor Christian, neither east nor west,
has made any appreciate change in
the customs, the rites, the religious
Ideas which find their picturesque ex-
preston in that mile or more of river
front.
The bank is steep and rises to the
height of 200 feet. On it rise temples,
with their carved sikras and gilded
SUBMITS, jumbled together with pal
aces. fiat rooted, piled high on solid
and imposing battlements, and a med
ley Of steps and terraces, and gate
ways, through which the river is
reached from the city. The buildings
are yellow, or terra Gotta colored,
gilded, and otherwise, so that the eff
feet is hardly less beautiful than that
of the Grand canal. Sacred bulls are
tethered in many places, to which the
people salaam. Everywhere are the
gay colors in which India delights.
Garments of bright orange, blue, mag
enta, iris colors, and dazzling white
make the whole scene brilliant in the
morning sun.

brellas, comfortable and serene, exact

MUCH WORK YET TO BE DONE
Need of Provision for Care of Tuber-
culosis Patients Pointed Out by
National Association.

Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Missis-
sippi are the only states in the United
States which have made no hospital
or sanatorium provision for consump-
tives, says the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis in a bulletin. At the same
time the association asserts that,
while there are $4,000 beds for tuber-
culosis patients in other states, this
number is very inadequate, hardly
more than Z for every eight or ten
needy patients being provided. Some
states have less than 80 beds, and in
not a single one is there a sufficient
number available.
The bulletin points that, although
the death rate from tuberculosis has
declined steadily for the last 25 years,
a marked increase in hospital and
sanatorium beds must be made before
a rate of even 4 or 5 deaths per 1000
population can be reached. At the
present time the city death rates in
this country range from s or 9 per
1000 living to as high as 35 or 40,
with the average around Is or 16, ac-
cording to the latest reports of the
bureau of the census.

Used 80 Million Poles in 1911.

Use of wood poles in the United
States in, 1911, by steam and electric
railroads, electric light and power com
panies, telegraph and telephone com
panies, are presented for the coming
bulletin of the United States census
bureau. The total purchase amounted
to 3~,41S,000, of which 70.3 per cent.
were bought by the telephone and tele-
graph companies, "a per cent. by cleo
trio railroads and electric light and
power companies, and 6.7 per cent. by
steam roads. The total number shows
a decrease of As" 200, compared with
1910, and 1901 compared with 1909,
but it exceeds the totals for 1908 and
1907 by 10000 and 1880, respec-
lively. The decrease was confined to
telegraph and telephone companies
and steam railroads. More than 80
per cent. were of cedar, chestnut, oak,
pine and cypress. standing in that
order of relative importance.-Engi-

Don't Care for Death

Steeplejacks are proverbially reck-
less-or apparently so-in their ac-
tons when engaged on their danger
Gus work. A laborer who was attached
to one of these experts used common
ly to take a midday nap wherever he
might happen to be situated. His
mates commonly found him on the top
of a steeple or chimney stretched full
length upon a single board, his arms
dangling over it's sides, fast asleep. A
single lurch would have meant a fall
of a couple of hundred feet, and there
fore certain death, yet he treated this
possibility with the utmost indiffer-
ence.

To Remove Sharp speck From Eye.

Oio ShCNh TTOTl Eye
The quickest and safest way Of re-
moving a particle of steel or other
sharp object from the Y is described
by Hugh Wrigley Of Philadelphia. in a
letter to Popular Mechanics. He says
that when working at an emery wheel
a speck of steel few into his eye,
~whereupon a fellow workman felt
along the lapels. of his coat until he
found a p%rotruding horse hair. This
he pulled forth and formed it into a
loop by folding it double. The eyelid
was turned back over a pencil; the
speck of steel was found and removed
by drawing the loop of horse hair over
it.
This is painless and cannot injure
the most sensitive eye.

Euronean Dress In China

According to the American consul
at Swallow, shortly after the revolu-
ton of 1911-12 there was a marked
tendency among the middle and upper
classes of Chinese to adopt European
dress. Although the bulk of the peo-
pie could not afford to follow this
fashion, there vas for a time great
demand for all sorts of foreign wear
ing apparel. Lately, however, a reac-
ton has set in, and it is said that of
those who adopted foreign dress last
veal perhaps 60 per cent. have gone
back to native clothing. Silk. after
declining in price about a year ago.
has lately risen again by 20 per cent,
evidently on account of the reaction
referred to.

swlftest Movinn Stare

So far as we know, the two swift
est moving stars are Arcturus and a
star known as 1880 Groombridge. The
velocity of these stars has been esti-
mated at 200 miles a second. The
speed is so great that we cannot cas-
lily realize it. Perhaps the fact that
they would make the circuit of the
earth in about two minutes may as
s1st the imagination in an estimation
Of it. So great are the distances of
these stars, however, that the highest
power telescopes cannot detect their
movement and their speed can only
be determined by careful comparison
with the fixed stars.
