CHANGES. HIS MIND
Georges Carpenter May Again Chal-
lenge Jack Dempsey for Heavy

New York. July 16.-Notwithstand-
ing his defeat by Jack Dempsey in
Jersey City on July 2 Georges Car
pentier. it is reported m boxing circles
here will seek a return match for
the championship believing that by
adopting an open style Of battle he
may be able to win.
In a statement made at his train
ing camp after the Jersey match
Carpenter said he would fight any
man in the world excepting Dempsey
but his closest friends now say that
he has changed his mind. Georges
cisobeyed the orders of his advisors
and forced the fight with the cham
pion, and therein, it is claimed, he
made his biggest mistake.
Should Georges again be matched
with Dempsey and the bout held in
New York state where boxing rules
permit Is rounds to a decision, he
might win the championship by
outpointing Dempsey. Carpenter
! friends believe that he is clever
enough to boz, Dempsey and stay away

THESE SILKS NEED NO DYE
Louisiana Man Has Discovered Meth
cd of Making the Worms Color
Their Own Product

While the slkworm has no fancy
for any particular color, preferring to
weave its cocoon of Il drab gray so
that it will not show against gray
tree trunk, one man has discovered
method whereby he can make the
little spinners produce any one of the
is shades at his pleasure. The man
is Dr. Vartan X. Osigian, son of a
long line of silk manufacturers, and
he has an extensive silkworm farm
near New Orleans.
Osigian has discovered that upon
feeding the worms certain leaves they
will respond by spinning certain col
ors. He has carried out his expert
ments until he has the 10 varieties OF
food to produce the like number of
colors. The silk thus shaded will not
fade in either water or sunlight. Not
only has he secured colored silk, but
in addition he has increased the
cocoon in size until single one pro-
vides 1900 yards to a strand and
there are two strands to a cocoon.

An unusual novelty will be placed
on the market soon in the form of a

substitute for the traditional alpaca

thereby cutting the cost of umbrellas
down to sum that should be con.
sidered distinctly nominal these days

The color of the new umbrella will
be black and the paper of compost
ton absolutely waterproof and crack
less. 1t will have a steel frame, wood

ROYAL PERSON WELL CARRIED
Augustus of Poland Had Clothes SUI
ficient for Regment-Also Had
Other Idosyncrasies.

Gentlemen of fashion today are mere
pauperS when it comes to attire, as
compared to what King Augustus Ill
of Poland deemed necessary to his
comfort He filled two great halls with
clothes and had special watch, snuff
box, sword and cane for every one of
his hundreds of suits. TO go with
them he also had 100 wigs. Five ar
lists We're kept busy painting minia-
lures of the clothing and keeping these
paintings in a catalog that the king
might select from each day as he
rose.
He took the lovely countess Of
Cozelle as his wife, and the mere fact
that she had husband already mat
tered little. He appeared at her door
one day with horseshoe in one hand
and a bag of 100000 crowns in the
other The gold he tossed at her feet
to demonstrate his wealth and gener
GUS instincts, and the horseshoe he
broke with his bare hands to demon
strate his strength and determination.
The lady, impressed, got rid of her hus-
band at once, obtaining divorce Of
the sort that allowed of remarriage.
Suspicious historians have limited that
the horseshoe might have been filed a
bit before the kingly hand tore 1t
apart.

SUNDAY HALF A CENTURY AGO
Spirit and Letter of Commandment
Both Thoroughly Obeyed In
Western New York.

NV mother was born and reared In
a little country village in western New
York. On the farm where my grand
mother lived it was the custom to be-
gin Sunday on Saturday night at sun
down The "hired man" came in from
the chores, grandmother put away all
her work in the kitchen, and then the
entire family gathered in the "best
room and studied the Sundayschool
lesson. or had a reading from the
Bible. led by grandfather and all the
family retired not later than 3 o'clock.
In the morning, after doing none
but the absolutely necessary chores on
the farm, the team that had not been
used the day before was hitched up to
the big four-seated wagon and the en-
tire family including the "hired" help,
went to church. There was preaching
service In the forenoon, and then we
adjourned to a lunch for ourselves
and the team, Then we went in to a
Sundayschool service, and after an in
terval there was another preaching
service after which we hitched up
and drove slowly back to the farm.
That was the way Sunday was kept
in western New York a little more
than so years ago. ! can remember
hearing my mother say that when she
was a girl in this same New York
state village, she was not allowed to
walk except to the cemetery and back,
on Sunday, and was not allowed to
read any books except the Bible and
"Fox's Book of Martyrs. "-Christian

Old American Glass.

The Pennsylvania museum announces
a find of old American glass. One
thousand specimens have been dug up
near Alloway, N. ]. The field where
the specimens were found was once
the site of the old Wistar Glass works,
founded nearly two hundred years ago
by Caspar Wistar who was Of Aus
TRAN extraction and titled.
The specimens found were for the
most part fragments of bottle and
window glass of which there have not
been many specimens until now. The
museum is now making study of the
types of glass that were produced in
the early days Of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The first glass to be man
ufactured in this country was that of
Virginia company located at James
town, but the first produced success
fully was that Of Alloway, then known
as Wistarburg.
