Novel Recruiting Sions.

In a recruiting station in lower
Broadway in New York is q device to
show passersby how they look in uni
form. 1t is a figure in khaki, stuffed
with excelsior and set up to stand at
attention" Between the collar and
cap is placed an oval shaving mirror,
the size and general shape of your
face. By peering into it you will see
yourself clad in good, honest khaki,
Except for. a wholesome tan and
more determined expression, that is
the way you would look in uniform.
On the figure is hung this placard:
"Our hats in the ring. Come in and
put one on" Another poster urges
the necessity Of enlisting. 1t reads:
"Come across, or Germany will" Still
another contains this blithe call to
arms: "What Burns said in 1882 Is
good for 1917; Oh, why the deuce
should repine, and be an i'll forboder?
Am twenty-three and feet 9-IH go
and be a Sodger."

whv Our Ewes Sparkle.

If you should watch very closely the
eyes of a merry person when you see
them sparkle, you would probably no.
tice that the eyelids move up and
down more often under such condi-
tions than ordinarily and If you know
what moving the eyelids up and down
in front of the pupil Of the eye does
you will have your answer, says the
Book of Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down
it releases little tear, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes it clean
and bright. 1t does this every time
the eyelid comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry which
has the effect Of making the eyelids
dance up and down, and thus every
time the lid comes down the ball of
the eye is washed clean and bright
and gives it the appearance of spark
ling, as we say.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Corona Borealis.

Corona Borealis lies just to the east
of Bootes. 1t is one of the few OBJ
jects in the heavens which bears a re-
semblance to the object for which it
is named, for it is indeed crown or
circlet of stars set with central gem.
The circle of stars is not quite COM
plete, but the whole outline is certain
ly suggested, and the front of the
crown resembles a diadem in the regu-
lar arrangement of its stars. The CEN
trail bright star, known as "the Pearl
of the Crown" is a second magnitude
star. This constellation has been
known from remote antiquity. 1t was
called by the Greeks Ariadne's Crown.
The principal star in the crown, Gam
ma, is a famous binary.

Novel WeddinO Cake,

Quite a novelty in wedding cakes
was seen at a recent American we'd
ding. The cake weighed about 300
pounds and was surmounted by rep
resentation of a white cathedral done
in sugar, through the open doors Of
which came the notes Of Mendelssohn's
wedding March" and ''Tales Of Hoff-
manu." played by an electric musical
box.
This reminds one of wedding-cake
novelty introduced at another wedding,
when an automatic figure Of Cupid was
made to march from the dome on top
of the cake and discharge a packet of
arrows in the direction of the brides
maids, who, needless to say, were de-
lighted with this pretty idea.

He Thought 1t Was Safe.

The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky
used to relate with much relish an
amusing experience that he once had
in connection with waffles. At a fine
old Virginia homestead, where he was
a frequent guest, the waffles were al
ways remarkably good.
One morning, as breakfast drew
near an end, the tidy little linen-coat-
ed boy who served at table approached
the bishop and asked in a low voice ::
Bishop, won't y have 'n'er waffie?"

castle to my own room. A great human
drama, greater than any ever placed
upon the stage was now being en-
acted.
The emperor was plotting the down
fall of the Turkish empire and the
overthrow of Islam in Europe. Be
tween the all-highest one and the real
fzation of those plans for world power
stood one frail little Parisienne the
vivacious, well-meaning Madam Reit-
schel!
Next day we left the Schloss Langen-
berg, but before doing so we heard
with regret that our charming little
hostess had been suddenly taken i'll
during the night, and the kaiser, as a
mark of favor, had ordered his doctor,
Vollerthun, to remain behind to attend
her. That Herr Reitschel was in great
distress | saw from his face as he
stood on the little platform at Ilmenau.
Back in Berlin, l wondered what was
in progress in that far-off schlosS in
Thuringia, but week later the truth
became vividly apparent when 1 read

wife of the famous Anton Reitschel Of
ConstantinOple, had been seized by a
sudden and mysterious illness and had

degree that it had been necessary to
confine her in the Rosenau private asy-

Poor Madam Reitschel! She died

to Berlin, where, bereft of the kaisers
favor, he predeceased her by about six
months, broken-hearted.

Japan's ShipbuiIding.

Nowhere, perhaps, is the effect of
the war upon Japan more patent than
in her great naval yards at Yokosuka;
nowhere does the strength and magni
tude of her ambitions find more cOgent
demonstration. The possessors of an
island empire, the statesmen of Japan
have not been slow to recognize the
value Of a strong navy and a powerful
and numerous mercantile marine. Un-
der a system Of shipbuilding and ship
running bounties, her merchant ship
ping has made huge strides; and the
advocates of state aid, in return under
certain circumstances for state con-
troll may point confidently to the sue
ccssful transportation of troops in
time Of war in justification of their
policy.

REGULATES Heat of Iron.

The latest improvement in the cleo
tric smoothing iron is an attempt to
overcome the difficulty that arises in
the laundry from the need for irons
of different temperatures for different
kinds of work. The old time laundress
with a dozen irons on the stove could
keep some of them hotter than others,
using the cooler irons for delicate fab
RIGS, but the modern laundress with q
single electric iron has to turn it on
and off and wait for it to heat or cool.
The new electric iron has a regulating
switch that can be set at four different
points to produce four different tenn
peratures, from very high one for
heavy work to one much lower for use
on materials that are easily scorched.
