YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS
But, If True, This Young Lady Is Very
Evidently Not in the Glass of
Modern "Fiappers."

A country correspondent of an Indl-
ana weekly newspaper, who disclalnled
being either a pcssimist or reformer
recently wrote as follows: "The other
day man and his daughter from near
Danville, Ky, passed through our town
on their way 20 a nearby village. They
expected 20 be met at the train by a
relative, but he was late, SO they had
to wait for him for four or Eve hours
The daughter was a young woman Of
seventeen but still wore her hair in
curs. We were especially impressed
by the natural girlishness and sweet
modesty OF the young woman. She
was refined, too, both in manners and
dress. Her father apoIo2ized for her
bashrulness. There's nothing else to
say about this little incident EXCEPT
that 1t Is n rare nd beautiful thing to

King LOps Off
$4,000 Yearly

Gently, Any development causing I'M
employment at once receives the sym
pathetic attention Of the king, who de-
cided to inspect the Britannia, now
laid up in the Medina river in the Isle
of Wight, in order to see what re-
pairs and renovations would be re-
CURED to render it seaworthy for the
opening of the yachting season next
year. As a result the Britannia will
hoist her pennant again next year.
This is fact which will cause the
greatest satisfaction in yachting cir
cles throughout the kingdom. 1t is
also now probable that when the au--
tumn sales of bloodstock open at Don

king will order new horses to be OBJ
tanned with view to bringing his
racing stud into line with what it used
to be in the days of King Edward.

"Why, Sambo. what are YOU doing in

To which the trembling darby re-
piled: "Ah sub, All just come in to

Whereupon the pastor said III that

you just get down and pray"
Thereupon the darky sank on Ills

HAVE NO WORRY ABOUT DATES
In Fortunate Albania They Knew Moth
Ing Of Such Things as caien-
dars or Clocks.

Calendars and clocks are luxures In
Albania. The untutored peasantry
know only three periods of time
morning, noon and night, and two sea-
sons Of the year, winter and summer.
Days and dates are Sanskrit to them.
Nor have they any conception Of dis
tances. When a traveller asks an AL
banian the distance of one point from
another, he never answers in miles or
kilometers, but "it is half a day, it is
two days, 1t is a week." When all AL
banlan makes an appointment, he is
considered to have kept it If he comes
within two or three hours of the time
set.
With the absence of calendars, the
people naturally do not know their
correct ages, especially those in the
country districts. In this respect the
women Of Albania enjoy an advantage
over their sisters in foreign countries
who guard so jealousy the secret of
their years. Often the age of an AL
banian woman is unknown even to
herself.

AFRICAN TRIALS BY ORDEAL
AZ in the Middle Ages, the Accused
Has Little Chance Of Proving
His Innocence.

In one part Of Africa a native who
has fallen foul of the law can only
prove himself innocent by swimming
through a pool infested with croco-
diles. If he gets through safely-al-
most an impossible feat-he is a free
man.
Not so dangerous, but exceedingly
unpleasant, is the "ordeal by pepper" !"
The accused is given a pipe-says
Dugald Campbell, in his book entitled
"1n the Heart of Bantuland''-and this
is filled to the top of the bowl with
a mixture Of tobacco, red pepper, and
one or two lesser ingredients. The
offender has to smoke this peppely
mixture until all the tobacco is smoked
to dust. Should he be forced to spit,
he is considered guilty.
Mr.. Campbell's book is full of In.
terest. He tells us that dolls, in Ban
tuland, are made from corncobs. Clay
Is used for the heads. and bends for
the eyes and teeth.
Should child die. the doll is hand
ed to sister, but If there Is no sis
ter, the doll is buried with all cere-
mony In grave beside that of the
dead child.

WHITE BEARS ON MT. RAINIER
Exploring Party Finds Strange Animals
and Other Matters Of More Than
Passing Interest.

The Landry-Bergues party attempt
ing midwinter ascent of Mount
Rainier, made some scientific dis
coveries while encamped at an altitude
Of 5000 feet awaiting improved
weather conditions. First, several
members of the exploring party dis
covered that an almost pure white
bear Of medium size inhabits the big
mountain and its environs.
The bear, which appears to be iden-
tical in shape and movement to the
common black bear of the forests, an.
parently lives in ice caves and snow
assures.
Another find Is the frost flower. This
wonderful plant is found only where
snow Is eternal. Bursting from the
frozen snow it grows the first day to
the height Of three feet, flowers the
third day and the fourth day resolves
into mysterious seed pods, then as sud-
denly dissolves itself. The stem, leaves
and flowers are white. The stalk is one
inch In diameter, the leaves-three in
number-in the broadest part are one
inch and half in width, covered with
unf1nltesimal cones Of snow. The flower
fully expanded is star-shaped. Efforts
are to be made to gather seed of this
snow plant for propagation in artifl.
cially cooled botanical gardens in
Washington.
The spiral snowdrifts are another
curiosity never before seen. At the
9,0O0-foot height snow drifts in a cir
cular manner, causing it to pile up in
spiral or spring-like columns 10 to 20
feet thick. At the top a weird little
curlicue Of fresh snow tips the freak
ish drift, making Of it a veritable white
toadstool-Longmire, Wash, corrcs-

Changes in the PIeiade..

The question presents itself whether
three stars of the constellation of the
Pleiades have less brilliancy than for
merly, or whether prehistoric man had
a better sight than ours. or If he was
wont to clint up the mountains to
examine the nearest stars, or if the
atmosphere of past ages was purer
than ours? This problem arises from
the fact that we see from below only
seven Of the stars of the Pleiades and
that the last three stars can only be
seen by ascending to the highest sum-
mits. while there have just been dis.
covered stones dating from prehistoric
times upon which the ten stars are
engraved. This interesting question
In astronomy and archaeology has been
broached to the French Academy of
Sciences by NJ. Bigourdan.
