New York.-There has recently beer
placed on exhibition in the CONNER

of Madagascar. Not only is 1t rep

French occupation OF that great
island the native arts are steadily
passing away before the great influx
of cheap foreign-made goods. NADIA

for many other purposes than in this
country. The natives weave from II
very beautiful cloths in long. narrow
strips, which they call rabannas and

and made up into garments, but is
used in the strip, being wrapped

The two houses do not agree as to
the amount of funds to be appropri-

Victim for Each BUILDING.

victim is required to insure the sta

There is no murder now 1t suffices
to obtain, preferably from an enemy
or an old person. hair, nail pairing,

these beneath the foundation stone.

NEW LIGHT ON OLD PnoVERB
Showing That the Early Rire Is Not
Always the Ore That Gets the
Most Worms.

Once there We're two birds. One was
an early bird, and the other was a
lazy sort of bird which never got out
much before eight o'clock in the
morning.
The early bird caught a worm. The
early proverb-maker happened to be
there at the time, and made a note
of it.
Now, this worm that had been
caught by this early bird had wife
and ten children. When the worm
left home that morning his ten chill
dren were just getting up and his wife
was preparing breakfast.
No doubt this worm had gone out
for his morning walk to work up an
appetite for breakfast, but such are
the uncertainties of life-he never re-
turned. The family Of worms waited
until about eight o'clock, and then,
highly alarmed. started out to look for
Papa Worm.
At this time the bird that was a
lazy sort of bird was just getting out
to look for a bite Of something to
eat. He saw the family of worms
and had fine breakfast.
Moral: It's not always the bird that
gets into the provarb that gets the
most Worns.-Lippincott

Need Not re Drucl-arV


Young American women would do
well to heed the words Of a recent
lecturer on household economics, who
said that homework need not neces-
earily be drudgeEy. She says it is not
drudgery, once its technique is mas
tered, any more than dancing or piano
playing or acting or singing are dis
agreeable tasks, once the girl has
mastered the basic principles of each
of those arts. Housekeeping is rela-
lively simple when one knows how
The difficulty is that few take the
trouble to learn how. If the same in
telligence and persistence are used
as are employed il mastering any Of
the other accomplishments, after the
learning period is over, the practice
ts comparatively easy. There is a
period of drudgery in acquiring any
art, no matter what it is, and no one
can expect to master housekeeping or
music either who is not willing to
submit to the necessary period of
training. But ease comes with know

Fire Without Flame.

An English engineer named Bode
has invented way to have fire with.
out fame. His apparatus consists OF
a porous plate or mass of fire-resist-
Ing fragments, within which he mixes
nhammable gas and air in the right
proportions.
When the gas n first turned on and
lighted it burns with a flame at the
surface of the plate. When the air Is
turned on the fame disappears. but
The heat increases. A temperature of
1900 degrees Is claimed.
Just what use Of this invention can
be made is yet a question.
