Thus spoko Hodman Law, who calls
himself tho "human Hy," while ho was
'reclining on a bed In a downtown ho
'tel waiting for a telegraphed remit
tance from New York, which was
inecessary after the way some friends
of his had disappeared with his cash
while ho was climbing up the god

IT IS notorious that street railway
companies in Washington, as In oth
er cites, have a good deal to troublo
with rail joints and with the street
paving along the rails. The pound
ing wheels and tho vibration of tho
track seem able to break down or
break up almost any kind of pave
ment which tho railroads lay. The
result is that repairs aro made fre
quently necessary.
For several weeks repairs have been
making to the tracks of the Mount
pleasant cars along Connecticut ave
nue. Yollow clay haB been piled high
up on both sides of the track. Strong
men have been working there with
crowbars, sledges, picks and other
tools. At the ends and along the
sides of tho repair work has been
qulto a procession of lings, mainly
red to warn of danger, but some of
them green to Indicate safety, and
marking where teams or machines
might pass.
At each end of the construction
work by day flutters In more or less
harmony with tho red and green flags
a yellow flag, and at night lanterns
with yellow globes let their light
shine there. The question was put
Duck on the Window Sill
TWO weeks ago attention was called
to a duck on the second story win
dow sill of a fine old houso on II
street. "Attention was called" Is not
a happy phrase, becauso nearly every
body who passes along that part of
H street knows tho duck.
In the previous story It was said
that: "Perhaps tho family living in
tho house w'Ji be ablo to explain it.
and perhaps not, but tho writer did
not caro to pursue tho Inquiry furthor
than to mako the necessary observa
tion and notation."
Tho story of tho duck Is well told
in tho following letter, which was re
ceived a few days ago:
What Middle Statue of
THREE Chinese students entered the
Y. M. C. A. Educational institute
not long ago to Btudy, among other
things, English, Amorlcan history and
geography. They are young men In
whom tho Chinese government is tak
ing an Interest, it having sent them
hero to acquire tho English language
In the shortest possible time. Thej
haven't been hero very long, but
they're strong on English already, as
will appear from this exclusive story,
told by Myron .lermain Jones, director
of education of tho Y. M. C A.
Dr. Jones took tho education of the
three boys a3 a personal matter. Ho
gave them all the tlmo possible, and
mingled his plain language teaching
with several highly polished courses
in ethics, philosophy, philology, apolo
getics, etc Ho dipped Into the dosppl
of St. Mark for tomo of tho great
social teachings there, and gave the
threo Chlneso students a lecturo that
they would scarcely bo ablo to get

Dr Jones concluded hlB romarka

top of the capitol had disappeared

Any old time he wants to go back

that bit friends car bo trusted with
a "human fly" pockotbook before he
gets up In the air between oarth nnd
sky, with no one but a press agent to
keep the secret.
The "fly" went to the capitol In tho
afternoon with his falso friends. He
climbed up a column on top of the
dome, using a piece of steeple jack's
rope to aid him in his efforts. Pre
viously ho had handed his pockotbook
and valuables to his falBe friends who

A rap on tho door interrupted this
story. A bellboy handed In a tele

the yellow flag mean?" Day aftor day
tho answer wns: "Give It up." "You

tho scribe's nerve3, and on one of
tho few pleasant days In early April
ho cot on a car determined to pay an
extra faro to find out tho significance
of those strange flags. He walked
over to a stalwart colored laborer,
who was cracking concrete in tho
excavation, and asked him: "What

famous artist and makes her homo-
mado gown look liko tho work of tho
world-famous houso Instead of her own
nlmblo lingers. In looking, at a Pa
3uln, Doucet or Polret model, a French
woman does not try to copy tho en
:lro gown. In fact, sho steers clear of
Intricate draperies and foldB. Sho no
.ices the sleeve, tho cut of tho neck,
whether high or low, V-neck or square;
whether tho waist blouses at the
$Irdlo or is drawn in snugly; whether
tho fullness Is gathered in tho center
of the front or back, or whother it is
pushed to tho sides, leaving tho cen
ter plain. Then sho remembers if tho
iklrt bo gathorcd or gored into the
bolt, If It appears narrower at tho foot
than tho knees, and if this effect bo
accomplished by Inverted plaits hold
In at tho foot by buttons or stitches,
or If It bo cut and gored narrower. All
these details aro easily obsorvod If

will just study tho kinds of bends that
aro used on theso gowns and buy that

thrend and sow them onto tho gown by
tnklng a stitch between ench two
beads with another thread. Do not
try to string and sow tho bends with

work will look very amateurish.
A very clover Fronch trick Is to form

very carefully. Tho effect Is charming

BEFORE BUYING YOUR TRUNK
Some Things Which Requlro Careful
Consideration Before Selecting

journeys ovor land, or for Bailing ovor
tho nea. If a trunk la used for what it
la intended, clothes nlono, and thoy
aro packed with intelligence, thoy will
arrive at their destination unwrinklcd.
It Is tho simplest necessity to put
rolls of tissue pupor under a skirt
which mny havo to bo folded over, to
puff tho sleeves of a gown with tlssuo
and to stuff a llttlo paper Into tho
wnlBtB of dresses. An Important pro
caution In tho art of packing is to put
tho heaviest clothns at tho bottom.
Tlssuo papor should also ho folded be
tween dark and light clothes If- fresh
ness is to bo expected. Very perish
able ovenlng dresses, especially span
gled or bended ones, should bo packed
In thin bags. Tho most desirable
trunks aro mado In wardrobo stylo, ox
nmples of modem wizardry with their
various compartments constructed to
hold ovory artlclo of wearing npparol
and koop in porfect condition to tho
end of tho journey.
