A TRANSFER SOLUTION.

Printed pictures from magazines newspapers, folders, etc, may be transferred to paper, cloth, card board, glass or china with the fol- lowing solution:
 One bar of common soap is dis solved in a gallon of hot water, to which one-half pint of turpentine is added. After it has stood for night stir well and bottle. The solution is applied to the print with a soft brush or ones fingers and the material to which 1t is to be transferred is placed upside down on it. The back of the ma terial is then rubbed and the de- sign is transferred.
 A picture may be transferred to glass for the purpose of a lantern slide. In such a case the glass must be vanished with perfectly varnish before trans ferring.

SOON BE ALL
 BRUNETTES
THE DECREASE OF BLONDES.

Blondes are decreasing in num- Der, says a leading anthropologist. At no very distant date the human race will have darkened to such an extent that people of the blonde type will be regarded as curiosities. It is startling de- velopment, but is all in the direct ion of progress, as people of fair complexion are more liable to sick ness than those of the brunette order.
 Modern life in crowded cities makes a severe tax on Natures forces, and in endeavoring to build up a disease-resisting race she is forced to eliminate the blondes with their inferior stamina. From an artistic point of view the fact is, of course, to be regretted, for golden hair and blue eyes have been the delight of poets and paint CTS for ages.
 That the type is gradually dis appearing, however, there seems to be no doubt, for many specific in- stances have been noted, especially in America, of the loss by emi- grants from countries where blondes abound of the distinctive complex ion and hair and eye-colors of their ancestors, the type darkening with each generation.

ESSAD PASHA HAS AN IDEA.

PARIS, April 10.-"I have just seen the French army" said Essad Pasha, the pretender to the throne of Albania, while in the city re- gently, "on the fighting line and if 1 were the Kaiser should weep. He must know that his fate is sealed.
 While 1 have seen endless things to admire at the front, noth- ing has struck me as more re- markable than the spirit of the officers and men. Not only are they i7 splendid physical condition. but their moral is excellent. I have talked to them and let them talk to me. Their calmness and confidence are unspeakable. Quite near me some big German shells exploded. The troops did not take the slightest notice.
 "The friendly relations between the officers and men and the af- fectionate bearing of the generals to the subalterns which the French army shows, are of vast import ance.
 Tt is an army of lion hearts. I. as an old soldier, after a life spent in fighting, declare that such splendid army never existed be- fore"

NEW DEVICE
 PROBES TRUTH
HOW SCIENCE DETECTS LIARS.

When a man is telling a lie he breathes differently from when he is telling the truth. The difference was discovered by means of some tests made upon his students by Prof. Benussi of Graz.
 He prepared cards bearing let ters, figures and diagrams and dis tributed these among his pupils. These were required to describe the cards correctly, except in cer- tain cases when the cards were marked with a red star, and the students receiving them were re- quired to describe them falsely. Each student was watched care fully by his fellows, who, ignorant of the nature of the card, tried to judge from his manner whether he was telling the truth or not. The watchers were unable to judge with any certainty.
 Under the direction of Prof. Ben ussi the time occupied in inspira- ton and expiration was measured and the measurement was taken again immediately after he finish ed. It was found that the ut terance of a false statement all ways diminished the quotient ob- tained by dividing the time of in spiration by the time of expiration.
 Dr. Anton Rose, commenting on these results, remarks that the dis covery furnishes a certain criterion between truth and falsehood. For even a clever liar is likely to fail in an attempt to escape detection by breathing irregularly. Prof. Ben ussi having discovered that men are unable voluntarily to change their respiration so as to affect the result.

Silver Creek. N. Y.-The greatest Of
all miracles has occurred right In this
village. Lew" Keith Is worth II fol-
tune. 1t is hard for people TO believe
1t, but it's an actual fact. SO far as
he can recall, Lew" never had more
than five dollars at one time in his life,
and now he Is worth 100000.
Lew" Is the modern Rip Van
Wrinkle. He Is about slXty-hve years Of
age. He was born here, but moved
away soon after the war, with his
folks, and passed a few years in Mis-
souri,, returning again 20 remain the
rest Of his life. A good many towns
have characters like Lew" He can
recite Shakespeare by the week. He Is
a philosopher with n q%ualntness Of ex-
preston which makes him highly en-
t|ertalning. He has always made his
living "tinkering." He can make n
motor boat, a violin, a camera, a
threshlng machlne-in fact, he can
make anything or mend anything that
anyone ever dreamed Of. But he
never tried to make any money. He
never wanted any.
But listen to what has befallen him /:
A few weeks ago John b. Webster,
village president, got n letter from Sc
dalia, Mo-, asking II Lew" Keith were
alive, and II so to furnish proofs Of his
Identity.
Tell 'em Tm alive, all right" was
LEWIS nOnchalant comment.
Mr.. Webster did. Back came a let

company In st. Louis. This Is, In sub

able to perfect his device. Lew

tinkered around till the machine was

Carter patented the machine and made
a fortune out Of II. Many times during
his life he started to hunt up Lew

ton. When he died. Mr.. Carter. a very

wealthy man, provided in his Will that
100000 should be set aside to provide
an Income for life for Lew" Keith, In
case he could be found.
The receipt OF this information
caused some comment and surprise in
Silver Creek. 1t didn't bother Lew"
mach. One day he was observed wend-
Ing a somewhat unsteady course from
one hotel to another, and he was asked
wherefore.
"Nothin', only I've been somewhat
staggered by the news" he said.
It's all true. Lew says he was in
Sedalla In 1878. He says he worked
for Mr.. Carter and helped him with the
machine.
1T wasn't anything to worry over,
though" he says. "All Carter needed
was n suggestion or two, and l had
the suggestions-that's all there was
to It,"
A few days ago a check came from
the st. Louis trust company, and with
