HEROINE HAD HER SYMPATHY
Swedish Maid Took Paragraph In
Book Which She Was Reading a
Little Too Literally.

One of the peculiarities of our Ian
euage was brought to the notice of a
Chicago woman by her Swedish maid.
This girl had attended night school
for some weeks and was delighted by
her attachments in English. She eX-
pressed her wish to try her knowledge
By reading a story in English, and the
mistress recommended for her perusal,
n tale called "A Modern Cinderella"
then running in one Of the magazines.
1t was simply worded and appeared
not to present any linguistic pitfalls.
did you like it, Hilda?" asked the
mistress, when the magazine was re-
turned.
'Yas, ma'am," was the reply "but l
am sorry she had so much trouble and
those glass eyes, too. My brudder, he
had one glass eye, and it was hard for
him."
The lady of the house was puzzled I;
so Hilda unfolded the magazine and
pointed with respectful finger to the
following undeniable proofs:
''As Polly moved about the kitchen,
doing her work, her eyes suddenly fell
on the letter which lay unopened on
her aunt's lap.
Keep your eyes where they be-
long said that lady sharply, and poor
Polly colored with shame"

emphatic in urging that the idea

State might not have a genuine

Especial interest is taken in the
personality of the new State En-

CAREER OF HNED BUNTLINE"
Writer Of Sensational Stories Once
Extremely Popular Had a Singu-
larry Adventurous Life.

"Ned Buntllne." whose real name
was f. 2. C. Judson. had a career
which was on fits plane Rooseyeltian,
Gargantuan and Tartarinian. 1t is de-
scrlbed I'm life and Adventures Of
Ned Buntllne.'" by Fred f. Pond, 9TH
4rwise win Wildwood. says the De-
;roit News. Iudson ran away from
his home when eleven years old. in
1884. became sailor and then a mid
shipman. At fifteen he fought duel
with seven midshipmen who had de-
cIined TO mess with him.
When seventeen years old Judson
served with distinction in the Sem
mole war. He became a hunter in the
Everglades. then hurried off TO the
Rockies in the employ of the North
west Fur company. turned back to the
Southwest, where he married and
fought more duels.
Judson became a mainstay OF the
Knickerbocker Magazine in its best
years and was so violent begetter or
sensational romances that he oncd
wrote book of 6lO pages in 60 hours.
He turned into patriot with the
Know Nothings, and on account OF
his share in the Aston place riot was
sent to the penitentiary for year.
He then took himself TO the Adiron-
dacks, which he helped make classic
ground for sportsmen. He served in
the Mexican and Civil wars.
"Buntline" brought Buffalo Bill" on
the stage in a play he wrote one We'd
nesday afternoon, rehearsed over the
week end and produced the following

career in 1856, only after he had writ
ten more than 200 volumes of tumul-
tuous d-and-thunder.

LAST WORD IN DICTIONARY
Possibly Few Know What It is, and
Really 1t Is Not of Great
Importance.

Do you know the last word in the
dictionary?
1t begins with the last three letters
in the alphabet, placed in their re-
verse order, and it means an Indian
libellulid dragon fly having a large
head, narrow face and very large
eyes," The word is "zyxomma." This
is in the New Standard dictionary.
Webster's New International stops
one short of this. listing its final word
as "zythum," explained as being "a
kind of ancient malt beverage" which
the Standard calls very excellent
beer that Diodorua, though wholly un-
accustomed to it, affirmed TO have been
scarcely inferior to the juice of the
grape"
Together, then. the two dictionaries
with beer and q dragon fly, make fair
Iy unimportant endings.
Reading up the column from "Zyx-
omma," one must traverse strange ter
ritory for distance of GO words be-
for one reaches "Zuider Zee" the first
or rather the last fairly widely
known term in the dictionary. Be
tween this Dutch sea and the llbellu-
lid fly is a semi-desert country. stud
ded numerously with such thorny OBJ
structions as "Zygaenidae," "zgnema-
ceae" and "zyfiomaillare."
No wonder you were unacquainted
with the last word in your dictionary.

Boiling Steel in Oil.

Cincinnati is one of six places in the
world where steel is strengthened by
being boiled in oil. At plant in Car
thage. a steel shaft weighing 10000
pounds, the largest piece ever subject
ed to the new method, went through
the process of being strengthened. II
was a "hollow bored tumbler SHIFT" for
use in dredging gold in California, cost
ing about $1,000. The great shaft was
first suspended in an upright furnace
until heated to Just below the melting
point. A crane then picked 1t up and
dropped it into huge well of oil,
where it boiled and sputtered, throwing
out clouds of oily mist.

MIR. yEILaTT AS STATE EMPLOY
NFNF COMMISSIONER

Osborne /. Yellott has notified

lature. This official is TO be the

When the merit system law

Governor had rot favored a

State positions that were exempt

Richie contended that the law as
it stood was a good beginning,
and that wherever it was found
that the public service would be

Fashions in Suicide.

1t seems that there are fashions in
suicide. A medical journal traces their
history from the stone age, when men
sought death by jumping from cliffs
or. disappearing in the sea. The an
Gent Egyptians poisoned themselves
with prussic acid extracted from peach
kernels; the Italians of the Renais-
sance used weird combinations of ar
senic. Shooting came with the cheap
ening of firearms. asphyxia with tie
use of gas for lighting. Carbolic acid
was the favorite method when every
household kept a bottle of this for
lighting bedbugs. The death of a
hanker from an accidental dose OF
mercuric chloride Corrosive subli-
nsate} set anew fashion.

Woner's Hats

The mystery of women's mania for
buying new hats is, submit, a proper
subject for official investigation. a
man buys a new hat because he hap
pens TO be in need of one. He re-
grcts the necessity, puts off the pur-
chase till the last possible minute
and dashes into hatters The whole
transaction is an affair of moments.
But women! Ask the next 20

Puzzle for ArehecIoaists.

Archeologists are puzzled by the pre-
historic carving of lion near Vera
Cruz. Efforts have been made TO trace
the origin of this little. known relic of
prehistoric America, but lave thus
far proved futile. The similarity to
the African lion rather than the noun
tain lion of this hemisphere has added
to the mystery.

How the Heart Beats.

A normal heart, from long, before
birth to death. beats roughly once a
second, and If 1t stops beating at any
time of day or night or weekday or
Sunday for as long as sixty seconds it
never begins beating again. The nor
small beat begins at the top of the heart
and runs down to the bottom of the
heart with the regularity of a toss
running down the length of a rope.
When the toss, however. instead of
running regularly down the length of
the rope, scatters its force and merely
sets the rope shaking feebly through
out its length it loses its force, and
in the same way when the beat of the
heart instead of running regularly and
easily down from the top of the heart
to the bottom merely sets the heart
feebly a-quiver we have the condition
called filtration.

INGENIOUS Way to Save Gas.

A woman's invention to save gas at
the gas range makes the weight of pot
or kettle on the burner throw open a
valve which allows the gas TO burn
full force, while with the removal O.
that weight the valve closes to a poin!
where it cuts of all the gas except
an amount barely sufficient TO support

Airs Density Chances,

Job spoke of the BOTTLES" of heaven,
and st. Augustine and others thought
there were windows in heaven, and as
these We're opened or closed so the
rain began and ended. But that was
long ago. Even as late as the middle
of the eighteenth century the chemical
nature of the air was not known. If
TIE density of the atmosphere re-
manned constant 1t could all be COM
pressed into a layer about five miles
thick. In that case the highest noun
tain peaks would stand out in space
piercing the so-called homogeneous
atmosphere. But the density de-
creases with elevation. and when the
aviator reaches an elevation of 10000
meters he is in medium which is only
about one-third as dense as at the
ground. There are no clouds above
this level.
