 "You were in d trolley car acci- dent," said the nurse, "and it has been found necessary to amputate your right hand.''
 He sank back on the pillow, sob ping aloud.
 "Cheer up," said the nurse, pat ting him on the head, 'you'u soon learn to get along all right with your left hand"
 "Oh, it wasn't the loss of the hand itself that l was thinking off, '' sighed the victim. "But on the forefnger was string that my wife tied around it to remind me to get something for her this morning. And now I'll never be able to re- member what it was. .''-Cleveland Leader.

HOW DOLLS ARE MADE.
The Many Processes Jn uss In the
 German Faetoriss.

The Many Processes Jn Uss In the German Factories.
 The making of the composition dolls as seen in the German fac tories is an interesting process, even though some of the rooms are hot, steamy places where one does not care to stay a long time. First there is the kneading room, where big mixing trough is set up, and in this all sorts of ragbag material are to be found-old gloves, rags, bits of cardboard, etc., and gum traga- canth. This mixture is kneaded by hand to the consistency of a paste, heated and carried into the mold room. There it is dipped up by wo- men and poured into the patterns which are set up in rows.
 The molds are put away until they are cold enough to handle, when workman by a dextrous movement of his hands separates the leaden sides, and the dolls head is revealed. The polisher then trims off the ragged seams and sends the heads to another room, where the holes for the eyes are cut out. This is an extremely delicate task, as all the sockets must be of uniform size. The work is done by hand, long, sharp knife being used.
 The heads are next painted, wax ed or glazed, depending upon the character of the material from which they are made. The arms, legs and hands are molded in the same manner as the heads-a special machine being used for stamping out the hands. These parts are painted in flesh color, while the heads must have rosy cheeks, red lips and dark or light eyebrows, as the color of the eyes used may re- quire. Putting in the eyes is sim l pie operation, unless the eyes are to open and shut, in which case the balancing of the lead becomes a matter of some skill.
 Germany possesses secret for mula for the enamel used on the faces, and the dainty, natural flesh tint of the better grade of dolls is the result of this process. The mak- ing of the eyes is dreary task, for it must be done away from the sum- light, and in some parts of Ger many the eye makers work in the cellars. It is said that one town supplies three-fourths of all the dolls' eyes used. Violet is the most difficult color to mix, and few violet eyed dolls are found.
 The wig is the final touch, and this is usually made of real hair inn ported from China. The hair used for blond dolls is the same, except that the color is extracted.-Mrs. c. R. Miller in Leslie's.

Tho Word "Chores."

The word "chore," generally used in the plural, is not slang, but an English word of highly respectable lineage. In this form it is found only in America, in England the spelling and pronunciation being ''char," though this is rarely used except in combination with "wom- an"-"charwoman." But in some of the provincial dialects, that of Cornwall for example, the word "chores'' is used precisely as we use "chores." All these forms come down to us from the Anglo-Saxon word "cerr" or "cerran," to turn over.

ROMANCE OF RH0DESIA.

stery of the Missionary, the ExpIerse and the Prospsetor.
 The story of the taking and mak- ing of Rhodesia forms one of the most picturesque and thrilling chap | ters in the history of England's colonial expansion. About the time that the nineteenth century had reached its turning point strange tale, passing by word of mouth from native kraal to native kraal, came at last to the ears of Scotch worker | in the mission field of Bechuana- land. It was tale of a waterfall somewhere in the jungles of the dis tant north-a waterfall so mighty, declared the natives, that the spray ] from it looked like storm cloud on the horizon, and the thunder of its waters could be heard four days trek away. So the missionary, wearied with the tedium of proselyting amid peaceful people and restless with the curiosity of the born explorer, set out. on long and lonely march to the northward, through country which no white mans eyes had ever seen. It took him three years to reach the falls for which he started, but when at last he stood upon the brink of the canyon and looked down upon the waters of the Zam- besi as they hurtled over 400 feet of sheer cliff, he was so awed by { their majesty and their beauty that he named them after Victoria, the young English queen. Before he left the missionary explorer carved his name on the trunk of a tree, where it can be seen today; the name is David Livingstone.
 For quarter of a century the regions adjacent to the Zambesi were disturbed only by migratory bands of natives and marauding ani- malls. Then Stanley came with his mile long caravan of porters, halting long enough to explore and map the region, on his historic march from coast to coast.
 In the middle of the eighties bulky thickset, shabbily clad pros pector, treking through the country with single wagon, found that for which he was seeking-gold.' He saw, too, that its verdure clad prai- ries would support many cattle and that its virgin soil was adapted for many kinds of crops; that it was, in short, a white mans country. Un- armed and unaccompanied, he pene- trated to the kraal of Lobengula, the chief of the warlike Matabele, who occupied the region, and induc- ed him to sign a treaty placing his country under British protection.
 The price paid him was e1oo month and thousand antiquated rifles-cheap enough, surely, for territory three times the size of Texas and as rich in natural <fe- sources as California. A year later the British South Africa company, a corporation capitalized at 96,000,- 900, under contract granted by the imperial government, began the work of exploiting the concession, naming it, properly enough, after Cecil John Rhodes, the lone pros pector, who, with the vision of a prophet, had foreseen it's possibili- ties and by whose unaided efforts it had been obtained.
 Such was the first step in Rhodes policy of British expansion north ward, policy 50 successful that in his own lifetime he saw the iron tiers of British Africa pushed from the Orange river to the Nile.-E. Alexander Powell, F. R. G. S., in Scribner's.

NOTED VAUDEVILLE ACT
AT The NIXON THIS WEEK

The "Juggler's Dream,N presented
by Howard & Graf, will be at the
Nixon opera house on Friday and Sat
urday evenings of this week. Speak
ing of this popular vaudeville com
pany and its work, the Bill Board re-
viewed from Hamlin treater, Chicago
says:
Howard d Graf in the "Juggler' 8
Dream Full stage. Time, Is min
utes. A little plot. A singing act. A
juggling act. Sounds good, doesn t
its Well, it is good, and a welcome
novelty to the Zephyr city. As the
curtain arises, Mr.. Howard is discov-
cred asleep on the couch; a voice is
heard singing in the distance, and
such a voice, not that rasping, grating
kind, but full, sympathetic, soprano,
one that will make an audience forget
their miseries, and think that they are
in the presence of some immortal
singer. Miss Graf uses an effect so
that only her face can be seen from
the front. She works down over Mr..
Howard, then fades away. The lights
go up. She enters attired in a beau
tiful Battenburg evening gown over
dark green satin and she is one of
those pleasing, petite kind that draw
their audience with them from the
start There is a few lines of talk to
the effect that Mr.. Howard has been
dreaming; she was singing, she per
suades him that he was, and he asks
her if she will sing one of his favor
ite numbers. Then she sang "Snow,'i
a beautiful soprano solo, high class,
A& Af x,lA LID
with music anu real words. Mr.. How.
ard falls asleep on the finish of the
number and after an encore and sew
eral bows, which Miss Graf was fore
cd to take, she goes over to awaken
the sleeper, but later decides to let
him sleep, and exits right. Mr.. How
ard then goes into another surprise of
the act, by Juggling newspapers, pa
per bags, heavy oak washstand,
dresser, criffonler, sideboard, couch,
and after everything in sight has been
handled by this clever juggler, he re-
moves screen, behind which are hid,
den twenty kitchen chairs, which he
stacks in a heap, that seems almost
impossible for one man to handle.
Then this small athlete raises them
with perfect ease, placing them upon
his chin, which was one of the hits of
the entire act; the lights go out on the
trick, and one wonld suppose the act
was over, but no. there is tn espot on
the couch, and Mr.. Howard is asleep
The face of Miss Graf is seen over the
couch. She is singing "The Vale of
Dreams" which she used at opening
of the act. AS she finishes the song
she drops asleep, and the curtain falls.
They have pretty encore number.
The act took two eneores and four
bows,
