Creased the MheeIs.

Some years ago an American, busi- ness man, wishing to get freight through a Russian port, approached the government agent with a request for expedition He was told delivery might be made in some weeks. The Amer lean protested that he must have those goods immediately!
 ,s'Have a cigar" said the Russian off, cial, pushing a box toward the Amer ican and leaving the room. The Amer ican opened the box, fouI-d it empty and dropped in fifty rublee. The Rus sian came back, looked at the box, pushed it toward the vii flor and, as he again left the room, remarked, Have another cigar
 The American dropped fifty more ru- bles in the box. The Russian official returned. looked at the cigar box and politely remarked! Your goods will be delivered tomorrow, sir."-Wall Street Journal.

A E.n,ou. sta+ua

The great temple of Zeus Olympius at Olympia, Greece, was 354 feet long and III wide. The columns of this fla nous shrine were sixty feet in height and six and half feet in diameter and are the largest which now remain of ancient architecture in marble. Sixteen of the wonderful columns are still standing and are among the most inn posing in the world. In this temple stood the colossal statue of Zeus, forty feet high, on a pedestal of twenty. This statue was the masterpiece of Phidias, the worlds greatest artist, and so famous was it that it was consider ed a calamity to die without seeing it. The immortal work was removed to Constantinople by LTheodosius l. and was destroyed by fire in the year 475 "A ID

East Indian Traders.

The native of India is a keen trader, none too scrupulous. and does business on small margin. It is said that he retails goods so close that his profit is made by selling the packing box. Ma tives become landlords by the purchase of piano shipping case. This would be divided into two compartments by q board The lower section would be rented for few cents month to silversmith; the upper leased to q dhur sic or native shirt maker, while on top a cap merchant displayed his wares.
 Incomes are so small that the indi- vidual who owns a hubble bubble" or water pipe has several rubber tubes connected with it, and for a ''ptce,'' one-sixteenth of a cent, allows patrons to have one puff. I mention these facts to give real glimpse of 'condi- tions. Despite this, I know this mar ket is worthy of our best eforts.-W. E. Aughinbaugh in Leslie's.

CIaaninn Laca.


 Lace that is Coo delicate to be. wash ed in the usual way can be cleaned in this way: Make a strong soapsuds of some good soap and allow the lace to remain in it for several hours at least, although it is well to shake it out oc- casiona1ly. A wide mouthed bottle is most convenient to handle When the lace is thoroughly soaked let the soapy water out of the bottle and keep add ing clean water until the soap has all been removed from the lace. Do not handle the lace at all; shaking the bot tie will rinse it thoroughly.
 If the lace is narrow wind 1t round bottle that has been covered with a piece of soft flannel, and do not re- move it until it is dry. If it is too wide to care for in that way dry it on q large cushion. First cover the cush- ion with heavy towel, then pin the points of the lace in place and allow it to dry. It is better not to. use steel pins on account of the danger from rust. When dry the lace will look like new.-Youth's Companion.

Why the Blues7

Every one loves the blue shy with
its brightness, warmth and softness.
Hundreds have written of it in glow
ing terms of praise, while the inarticu-
uate millions have felt what theg ex-
pressed Who does not love a pair of
blue eyes-laughing blue eyes, true
blue eyes, tender blue eyes, Irish blue
eyes? The men who follow the sea
love her every mood and hue, and yet
It's her sparkling sapphire cloak they
would have her don on the happiest
occasions. 1T is impossible in our
condition Of society not to be some
times snob,' wrote Thackeray-not
to have a heart that would relish
pumping little blue blood along with
the red. But when our thoughts are
dull, depressed and drear, like an un-
kind wintry gray sky, we are in the
blues. Why this paradoxical defama-
ton of the color which is associated
with so many of the fair and pleasing
things OF life? If we must vilify a
color there are yellow, canaries and
jaundice. There are red devils and dan-
ger. Why the blues ?-Boston Globe.

Pepys' View of Baths.

Pepys' view of baths-probably rep
resentative Of his generation-may be
gathered from a contemptuous refer
ence to his wife's whimsical notion,
after spring cleaning, of going to hot
bath in town to "cleane herself" How
ever, he reflected consolingly, the new
passion for cleanliness was not likely
to last. The idea of Pepys' French con-
temporaries on the same subject is
illustrated in little book on Christian
conduct, by Jean Baptiste de la Sale.
"Fur the sake Of cleanliness" says the
author, sit is well to rub the face every
morning with a white towel, in order
to remove the dirt. 1t is not advisable
to wash with water, for this exposes
the face to the chills of winter and the
heats of summer"

Msrconi Speaks About Italy

Senator Guglielmo Marconi who
just arrived in New York to partici-
pate in some patent litigation has
given his views about the attitude of
Italy toward the war. He says:
"My personal impressions are that
Italy is trying sincerely to keep out
of the conflict. We have a war party
in my country that has made a grea !
deal of noise, and only small peace
party, but l believe the great lmajor-
ity of our people are prepared TO
uphold the government because they
have confidence in it and in its pur-
poses. l believe that Italy has hon.
eStly tried to maintain neutral posi-
tion as well as to safeguard her own
interests"
This is all very guarded, and it
seems that the great Italian wants to
leave loopholes for himself whatever
happens. However, the remarks are
clear that he does not believe Italy
will enter the war, and while news
reports have repeatedly indicated
another state of affairs, it is much to
be hoped that she will keep out of it.
Prince Won Buelow, the German
ambassador to Italy, made wonder
full opposition to the forces trying to
drag Italy into the ranks of the allies,
and that country's desire to expand at
the expense of Austria must also be
considered. With the seeming desire
of the people for war, and the many
influences at work, it will be remarka-
BILE if Italy can keep out of the con-
fiict. But there is reason to believe
that Signor Marconi would not have
come to the United States at this
time, if he really thought his country
was on the verge of war. He is close
to the powers that be, and his re-
marks, though yelled, indicate clearly
that he sees no immediate danger,
and that Italy will be able to steer
clear of the many pitfalls around her.
