The Papyrus plant, which once
fourished in large quantities in Egypt,
but is now almost extinct there, still
abounds in the Jordan Valley, as we'll
as in the neighborhood of Jaffa and
Sidon. 1t grows best in a marshy
soil, easily attaining a height of eight
to ten feet. The stems of the plant,
which are hollow, like bamboo, are
leafess, and as thick as a mans arm
at the lower part. tapering away to a
point. This wood, says a writer in.
the Wide World Magazine, is used to-
day in the east for a variety of pur-
poses, both ornamental and useful.
At Jafa it is converted into sandals.
boxes, various articles of furniture,
and even into boats. In ancient times,
particularly when the Pharaohs reign
ed in Egypt. the papyrus was cult
waited and converted into paper, and
many museums a boast of speci-
mems of these ancient papyri manu-
scripts.

FINGERS and THUMBS
They Got Crossed With a Gouty
Hand in Giving a Secret
Grip.
BY ELIZABETH BENTON.

80 you're the young man that
thinks he can act as my secretary,
hey?" inquired Mr., Pagan, swinging
round In his swivel chair and staring
at Blake under pair of bushy gray
eyebrows. Nine and twenty I've
turned down today, but II you think
you can manage-shake hands!"
The transition from sternness TO
suavity was entirely dlsconcerting to
the young college man. II was his
first application for position, and the
salary as secretary TO the owner OF
the big chemical works was fifty dol
lars a week. Blake had flown at
high game for a youngster of twenty
five
He gave Mr. Fagan his hand and
felt a peculiar pressure OF the fingers,
which his own leaped to meet. Then:
Il left college last year, sir" he
began. Il can
Tut, tut, young mani replied the
eccentric. Consider yourself en-
gagged 1t warns my heart to meet
you. No, no explanations. l don't
want to know what you are or what
you can do. I'm a judge of men and
we're both Irishmen, amt we?"
Indeed We are" said Blake enthusi-
astically. And so he went to work
and proved highly efficient IN fact,
before the month was out Pagan had
become so attached TO him that he
was constantly requesting his pres
enee at his splendid home on the
outskirts of the manufacturing town.
Blake had two troubles about this
time. One was his inability TO dis
cover how 1t could be that a man of
Fagan's apparent limited education
had gone through college The other
was Fagans daughter, Muriel. 1t was
a case of love at first sight with both
the young people. When Blake held
Miss Muriels little hand in his and
looked into her eyes he knew that he
had met his destiny
But how could a fifty-dollar a week
man. with an uncertain future, aspire
to the hand of the daughter of Pitt
stons wealthiest citizen? If he had
known it, Fagan could have been

taken by storm during those first two
| or three weeks. A self-made man,
/ he admired the young collegian i'm
| him in the light Of MuTieIs suitor,
| But Blake did not know that Fagan's
/ education had been derived from read
! ing the newspapers he sold in front
of the chemical works, before these
became his own Property, And, as
a supposed college man who had de-
liberately cultivated rough ways and
coarse language, Blake looked upon
his employer with something of awe.
1t was about two months after his
introduction to the manufacturer s
house that he found himself seated be-
side miss Muriel upon the piazza 1t
was moonlight night; the view was
superb; the noises Of the city sounded
far away and remote: and Pagan was
snoring in his library. The combina-
tion proved irresistible. And besides,
that hand that hung near his was the
prettiest hand that he had ever
wanted to take in his. He took it,
and, seeing that no dramatic outburst
of anger followed, he drew the girl
to him and kissed her.
For after all, that is the way in
which it is always done.
Muriel, dearest" he said do you
know I have loved you ever since
set eyes on you?"
Muriel blushed so divinely that
there was nothing to do but repeat
the episode And when he felt her
own soft lips on his he knew that
his love was returned in full.
But I don't know what your father
will say" he said with the timid fear
OF lovers If he discharges me-
viii you wait, Murlel?"
For ever" she whispered BE
sides, can win over papa. What is q
papa?"
If only she had noticed that his
tie was green! But it looked blue in
the night; to see its proper color one
would have to stand under the electric
light And he had gone straight to
Muricl when he found her in the gar
den.
SO It happened that when he stood
before his employer and stammered
out his story. in the way young men
approach wealthy old gentlemen,
Fagan's eyes fixed themselves upon
Blakes's shirt-front and narrowed to
needle lines
May ask you why you are wear
ing green tie on this day Of all days,
Mr. Blake?" he demanded, with omin-
GUS calm.
Why" said Blake, hesitating, you
see, today is the anniversary or the
Battle of the Boyne, a day abhorrent
to all good Irishmen. and"
Blake's great grandfather had been
hanged for treason in the days Of
Robert Emmett.

the agility Of a tiger.

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of Coffee Troubles.


Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condt-
tion that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work His
skin was yellow. and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him I felt sure his sickness
vas due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided 10 give Il up.
1T was a struggle, because OF the
powerful habit. One day We heard
about Postum ana concluded TO try 1t
and then it was easy to leave on
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent, his complexion began TO
clear, kidneys grew better until al last

MUCH IN PLEASANT MANNER
Man Uniformly Courteous, Has an Ad-
vantage over Rival With
Morose Bearing.

A pleasing manner is an important
essential to success in any business. A
gentle, courteous manner will win rec
ognition anywhere. So much depends
upon first impressions, and these are
favorable or unfavorable according to
whether man is polite and courteous
or brusque and nervous in bear
ing
We cannot always judge a man by
what he says or does. but the way in
which he says or does a certain
thing win prove the best index to his
character.
A pleasant, courteous bearing will
help a man to success in business,
where a boorish, impatient manner
will turn away customers. The
brusQue man may be as well meaning
as his more affable rival, but people

But Lieutenant Foray was not sat
isfied, principally because he did not
wish to be. He scrutinized the order

its contents. 1t was quite evident
that if he could have found pos

believed that light is directly fatal to
