~
Some simple, everyday suggestions
lie on the surface Of the story. Joseph
was not ashamed OF his countrified
father. There are some callOW young
folk who dislike to have their parents
known to their smart" friends. They
are more mortified by the spectacle
of an old father eating with his knife
than by a moral blemish ON his thar
acter. All such need to learn we'll
this story of h man who had gone
as high as it was possible for mortal
to go, and yet joyously and proudly
presented his family, with all their
crude ways, to the king and the peo-
pie.
BY some strange process Of reason
ing, the word "countryman'' is often
used as synonymous with bOorishness
and crudity. In the case Of J0seph's
family, there was reason for this, for
in Egypt h shepherds calling was
despised. Joseph knew we'll that the
courtiers would sneer behind his back
at his common origin. His rivals
would be strengthened in opposition
to him. The whole land would be
filled with gossip over these cOuntri-
fed Caanites who were the family
Of the prime minister. Yet with
enthusiasm and pride Joseph intro
duced his brothers and hts father to
Pharaoh himself.
The New Home.
Clearer than the heirOglyphics
which still may be seen or the tombs
Of the kings at Thebes, is this graphic
picture of the meeting OF Jacob and
Pharaoh. One. had. the dignity Of
state, the other the dignity Of years.
A flood of light is thrown upon East
ern thinking by the fact that it was
the old man who gave his blessing to
the king on the throne.

The recent stories Of DR.. Charles

to confer on that section the honor Of
being the original garden Of Eden,
are exploded by Professor Arthur Col

at the University Of Oregon.
"Dr. Hallock claims that klamath Is
the location of the Land Of Peace"
said Prof. Collier, that Eden was
situated on n mythical continent
called Tula, which has since been sub
merged by the Pacific ocean. Science
has never been able to discover this
If Or. Hallock Is correct, his name

"The Garden Of Eden" continued
the professor, rs generally located in
the southwestern part of Asia, and
there is no reason to believe that Cain
migrated any such distance as that
separating the two continents. We
have every reason to believe that for
at least 100000 years the continents
Of the world have remained In the

found and have probably remained so

MONSTER HEADDRESSES.
Women at One Time Wore Fleets Of
Vessels In Their Hair.

Marie Antoinette had a passion for
extraordinary headdresses. One struc.
ture that she invented was forty-hve
inches In height and was composed of
many yards Of gauze and ribbon. From
the folds sprang punches of roses, and
the entire edifice was surmounted by u
waving plume Of white feathers. 1t is
recorded that when Maria Theresa re-
celved a portrait Of her daughter wear
ing this headdress she exclaimed
"This Is no daughter Of mine! 1t is the
portrait Of an actressg"
The Duchess de Chartres, determined
to surpass the queen, designed a head
dress two inches higher. 1t was made
up Of many plumes waving at the top
Of tower. Two waIen figures, repre-
senting the little Comte de BeauJolals
(the brother Of Louis Phllippe) in his
nurses arms, were worn as ornaments.
Beside them parrot picked at a plate
Of cherries, and the wax figure of a
black boy reclined at the nurse : feet.
On different parts Of the tower were
the initials Of the duchesse's husband,
her father and her father-in-law, made
from her own hair.
At this time France and England
were at war. In naval engagement
the French frigate Llcorne struck her
flag, but the Belle Poule, another
French vessel, crippled the Hector, an
English man-of-war. AS the French
men were about to board two English
vessels bore down to their consort's
assistance, and the Belle Poule sailed
away. The English fleet returned to
Plymouth with two prizes, the Licorne
and French lugger.
The French, although they had lost n
frigate. proclaimed victory. The
queen and her women wore headdress.
es that represented the Belle Poule un-
der full sail plowlng n sea of green
gauze in pursuit of the English frlgate.
This construction was known as the
Couture Belle Poule."
The wife Of an English officer living
In Paris deemed the headdress an in
suit TO the English navy and deter
mined to resent 1t, At the next public
occasion therefore she appeared carry
ing on her head five English line Of
battle ships, French frigate and n
lugger. An arrangement Of silk and
gauze represented Plymouth harbor,
which the English ships, with their
prizes, were entering. Each vessel car
ried streamer that bore It's name, and
on the edlfice at the back the word

woman struck every one dumb except
