How Mark Twain Turned Joke on W
enna Authorities VIII Be New
Story to Many.

The letters of Mark Twain record
but little concerning the years he
spent In the Austrian capital, the
Christian Science Monitor observes.
The humorist did some special writing
for American papers during those
"Wanderjahre." Indeed, the Vienna
journalists took him to their hearts as
a colleague of particularly genial
type and often invited him to
friendly spread" at which the guests
were members of the Austrian fourth
estate. The story of how he got into
trouble with the authorities, through
the indiscretions of n Vienna Journal
list, has probably never been published.
AS the tale goes, a certain reporter,
either In facetious or a vindictive
moment, gave out that Mark Twain had
been seen suspiciously lettering about
the bridge which spans the Danube
canal near the Ring strasse, and not =
far from the Hotel Metropole, at which
the Clemenses lived. Mark could not
let this reflection upon his character
go unchallenged. He fastened to ex-
plain-to apologize, in fact, for having
given the authorities the slightest
anxiety about him.
The explanation was thoroughly
Twainllke. He had found by the
bridge the longest German word he
had ever seen and, in order to compre-
bend it in all its longitude and lati-
tude, he had pinned one end of II. to
the bridge with the idea OF unfolding |
it! Bearing his precious burden with |
him, he came to the opposite end of the
bridge. only, alas, to find that he still |
had yards to spare! The apology was
accepted with many broad grin.

EXPLAINING GODS OF EGYPT
Prof. Flinders Petrie Has Thrown
Much Light on Sources Of Myth
oIogy of Ancient Land.

The question of the character and
origin of the local gods of Egypt is
still obscure; but a paper by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, published in Ancient
Egypt" part 3, 1917, does much to
clear it up. Professor Petrie collected
the original records of these cults, and
by marking the headquarters of each
deity he arrived at important results.
Ra appears in only one southern city,
and his cult seems to have come from
the northeast. The distribution of
Nut, the mother-goddess, is decidedly
eastern, while that of Amen is west
ern. Set was certainly brought into
Egypt by the desert road, as he had
there two centers of the first class, and
he was introduced by the Red sea way
to the eastern delta.
The distribution of the Osiride triad
indicates settlement so early in the
land that the worship was generally
diffused. Professor Petrie sums up
his article thus: "The geography of
the worship of the gods is thus seen
to have a considerable value histori-
cally, as bearing on their origin and
connections. When more complete re-
search into the localities of various
uncertain names may extend our iden-
tifications, it will be possible to get
more light on the sources of Egyptian
hology."-Nature.

THEY SHALL PAY.

We have left our homes and mothers
wehave left our homes and mothers
In the good old U. s. A.
We have heard the call of brothers,
For help, across the way.
We have stood the dreary training,
Stood hardships every day.
At that we're not complaining
But someone's got to pay.
We have crossed the broad Atlantic,
We've lodged the submarine;
We've scratched until we're frantic,
And we've battled with the beans.
We have travelled a la cattle,
Now we're bunking in the hay;
But the Huns will know in battle
Just who has got to pay.
In the front-line muddy trenches,
Scorched by the bursting shell,
We've breathed the gas and stenches
OF sons of Huns of He'll.
But for us they have no terrors,
We put them where they stay;
We fill them full of errors
And take their blood in pay.
We have seen the dead and mangled,
We've heard the children's cry;
We've seen the barbed wires tangled
With dead, and learned to die.
But above the din and rattle,
And torture of the fray,
We have heard the God of Battle,
Go to it-make EN- pay"

VIENNA PLACED ON
FAMINE RATIONS,

Amsterdam, July 12.-The alarm
ing situation in Vienna is described
in a despatch to the Berlin Tage.
blatt from its Vienna correspondent
who says:
The daily rations per head are fix
ed at approximately three ounces OF
bread and -four substitutes, one
ounce of meat, less than a quarter
ounce of fat, two and a half ounces
of potatoes, three quarters of an
ounce of jam and quarter of an
ounce of war coffee, making the to-
tai daily allowance seven and three
quarters ounces"
These rations may be supple
mented by recourse to secret chan
nels and by the payment of exorbit-
ant prices the correspondent de-
clares. For example, -four can be
secured by paying the equivalent of
from $3.50 to So a pound; meat at
from $5.75 to 81 and horse flesh at
$3.50 a pound.

SAT EN-, BOYS; EAT 'EM UP"

Speaking of potatoes, not ball
players. II may not pass the ex-
animation for dignity, but this
hoarse suggestion of the bleacher
fan quite accurately carries the
thought which the Department of
Agriculture and the Food Admins
tration are trying to impress upon
Americans in the "Eat-potatoes"
campaign. It's serious obliga-
ton.
Millions of bushels of potatoes
should be eaten within the next few
weeks. II we eat them. we can
save wheat and potatoes both. And

FRENCH ROAD SYSTEM A
REVELATION TO SOLDIERS.

Engineering News Record)
Every soldier over here from the
United States will go back an en-
/ thusiastic good roads advocate
writes Capt. Paul Hansen, former
chief engineer, Illinois state Board
of Health, from general headquar-
ters in France. He is in the water
supply servic with 1t. Col. f. F.
Longley, formerly with Hazen, Whip
pie & Fuller. Parts of his letter
follow:
"The roads are marvellous and the
country wonderfully beautiful and
picturesque"
The French road system is a rev.
citation even in time of war, not so
much in the matter of construction,
because we can and do build maca-
Gcm roads as good or better, but
principally in the matter of upkeep,
for which the French have a posi-
tive genius. Roads are divided into
sections like our railroads, with lit
tie section gangs who keep their
tools in neat little stoke section tool
houses. As soon as a bad post de-
velops on road it is repaired and
when the spots become so numer-
GUS that they cannot be repaired at
cnce, an entire new layer of broken
stone and binder is put down. The
problem is simplified very much by
the fact that suitable road metal can
be found anywhere a few inches be-
low the surface"
Another striking feature of the
French roads is the great care OBJ
served in promptly removing all sur
face water. On each side of the
road at intervals of about fifty feet
little waterways are kept clear
eading into grass lined side bitches
outside of the tree line"

WOMEN OF TRANCE,

After their years of suffering, grief and privation the women of France are still able to set notable and pa thetic example of courage to the wo- men of other war-stricken lands.
 When the rationing of the import ant foodstuffs was announced recent ly for that country, the following pa triotic appeal was sent out by the National Council of French Women, typifying their noble spirit of endur- ance:
 "These last months of the war will be the hardest. French women know it and bravely they will go through the necessary ordeal. They will ac- cept all restrictions in order to ob- tain victory which will allow their children to know the joy of life and beneficient peace.
 'Each of us must simplify her mode of life. Deprive yourselves, eco- nomiZe, and you are working for your country. Let those whose material well-being is assured set an example to render hard privations of the hour less grievous to their sisters. 'Workingwomen, like us, you are weeping for dear ones, like us you hate war. It is in order to render wal impossible henceforth, that we must hold out to the bitter end.'
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-13

An elderly woman may properly ex- tend her hand to anyone introduced to her whether in her own house CT elsewhere.
 ENIZABETH-The man who held open the door of the railroad station for you and stared at you boldly mean while would have been more polite if he had ignored your existence en- tirely. He enumerated the courtesy of holding the door open flor you by his ruldness in ogling you When a gentleman extends such a courtesy to a lady who is a stranger to him he should merely glance at her casually. He ought not to appear to recognize her in case he meets her on the street later; nor should the lady recognize him then or thereafter beyond an ap- preciative "Thank you" A polite act of this kind does not constitute an in troduction.
 Mrs. B.-Ir is customary to wear evening dress at evening weddings but it may be that the one you co4p template attending will not be so for nal an affair that your grey silk af- ternoon gown will be out of place. The best thing for you to do is to ask other ladies who are invited how they intend to dress, and you may find that you are as elaborately attired as they will be. At any rate, I advise you not to remain at home because you haven't an evening gown to wear. A light grey silk gown is the next best thing.

The other day I drifted into the studio just as Mrs. Brindsley Arnold was saying:
 T consider my daughter, Marie Louise, very attractive girl, but she's much too thin to wear clothes with any degree of style. feel that you could greatly imrove her appearance. Will you design something especially for her?"
 Madame smilingly promised to be responsible for Miss Arnold's clothes in the future, and asked Mrs. Arnold what type of frock she would like first.
 Something smart for street wear. Louise's evening gowns, all of which have full, draped skirts, are fairly be- coming. I'll send the child to you this afternoon
 Later in the day, as Madame was experimenting fitting of Miss Mar shalPs dinner gown on me, Miss Ar mold appeared.
 Madame had the young girl stand while she carefully studied her figure. She was one of the thinnest girls I've ever seen.
 AA4O SAp4 Coo1OAI O4 ll1IIlu dSS- meme left her face as Madame srnil- ingly said:
 q know exactly what want for you-a stunning Eton frock with a draped skirt. Won't you come for your first fitting day after tomorrow and see what thief rock will bel ike ?"
 Madame chose beige tusser to de- velop the Eton frock. The bodice had waistcoat of dark blue tussor cut with long, pointed ends which extend well over the skirt. Small silk-cover- ed buttons and bound buttonholes are used to fasten the waistcoat The Eton is cut with rounded corners and flares away from the figure from be- meath the arms. Three rows of beige soutache braid outline the edges of the jacket.
 The sleeves are long and rather snugly fitted, and I wondered if they | would be becoming to any one so thin as Miss Arnold. They were cut to ex- tend over the hands, and were trim med with braid to correspond with the Eton. A half collar of blue tussor 1 finished the neckIine. Madame was very particular about the draping of the skirt. She had Miss Westley arrange the fulness in rather deep p1eats at each side over the hips, and distend the drapery to l make the skirt decidedly of the peg top variety. At the hem it measures little more than a yard and half in circumference.
 A broad girdle of the biege material, arranged in folds, gives a trim effect about the waist.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-04-13

had completely lost the appearance of uncanny thinness and had pleas ing smartness that any one might we'll envy.
 The Eton, springing away from her figure, gave a certain impression of roundness that was most becoming. while the skirt faring out at the sides disguished the fact that Miss Aronld lacks thee urves of beauty. Even the sleeves, which I thought would be too severe, were so perfectly shaped that her arms appeared to be beautifully moulded. Had Mrs. Arnold been there to see her too-thin daughter she would have been thoroughly pleased.
 Even Madame was satisfied with the way the frock had turned out, while Miss Arnold was too delighted even to speak.

WAXING LINOLEUM

After vanishing linoleum, which will preserve it, try waxing it on top of the varnish just as you would pol ish a hardwood floor.
 About once week wipe with clear water and clean cloth and about once in two weeks apply the floor wax, leaving it to dry about 20 min utes, then polish with a dry soft cloth. The wax will brighten the linoleum and will help to resist wear.

NEW BnoUSEs

Almost all the ne~- blouses of tub materials have wide and deep collars, which outline the V neck, opening down to it's point, and then slope out ward to the shoulder, falling well down the back of the blouse.
 Many of these new blouses are maze of intricate pintucking, the tiny tucks crossing each other in groups to make a sort of plaid effect. There is much variety in the arrangement of these tucks, and the woman who can do fine hand-tucking on sheer batiste may evolve distinguished blouse at trifling expense.
