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

One of the peculiarites of our Ian
guage 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 attainments in English. She eX-
pressed her wish to try her knowledge
by reading a story in English, and the
mistress recommended for her perusal
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 1
am sorry she had so much trouble and
those glass eyes, too. My brudder, he
had one glass eye, and 1t was hard for
him"
The lady of the house was puzzled;
so Hilda unfolded the magazine and
pointed with a respectful finger to the
following undenlable 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.

In selecting the camel as their en-
blem, anti-prohibitionists display q
sense of fitness. According to some
authorities, though the camel general

with soft" drinks the camePs powers
of absorption are phenomenal. Water
ing a camel train on the march is a
prolonged business, seeing that some
camels require as much as 20 gallons
to satisfy their thirst. On esthetic
grounds, however, objections might be
raised to selecting for an emblem an
animal whose face has been described
as "a sculptured sheer" The camel

SAVAGES WORE BODY ARM0R
Gilbert Islanders Used That Form OF
Protection, but 1t Was Limited
to Leaders.

Only one tribe in the South Pacific
islands ever rose to the height of in
venting armor to be used In their war
fare. But even this tribe, the Gilbert
islanders, turned out only few suits
owing to the work entailed In the
manufacture. Francis Dickie says, in
the Scientific American, that the suits
were limited In number, and that
every village was the proud possessor
of one. At the outbreak of a conflict
between villages, not all the inhabi-
tants went to war, but the most
doughty warrior was dressed in the
village armor and sent against the
champion of the rival place.
The brown-colored fabric covering
the body and legs, which formed the
Gilberts' armor was made out of coir
string taken from the husk Of the
coconut so closely woven as to make
a protection stronger than board and
having greater lightness to recommend
it. A further breastplate, invulnerable
to any native weapon, was made from
the dried skin Of the stingaree, or ray
fish, which dried as hard as metal.
In the last few years peace has set
tied over the Gilberts and the armor
has ceased to be manufactured. The
few suits In existence have all been
seized by collectors of rare articles.
