THE BLUE RACER
It I About the FleetcHt Thins In the
Reptile Family
The swiftest snake I have ever
known is the blue racer as we used to
call the reptile in the Arkansas foot
hills and I want to tell you this par
ticular snake can travel like a blue
streak sulci a man from Arkansas
The fact Is the name blue racer was
given to the snake because of the rep
tiles lleetness I have seen blue racgrs
dart across the road at such a rapid
pace that you could only see a mere
suggestion of blue and if you did not
happen to know the snake and its hab
its you would not know what it was
You could not possibly get the idea
that it was a snake you had seen Hash
through the dust of the country road
unless you knew something of the blue
racer Just what speed the snake
makes I do not know but it is a rapid
pace The rattlesnake is supposed to
have good speed and as a matter of
fact the rattler can whiz along at a
pretty swift gait but the rattlesnake
is not in it with the blue racer It
would be interesting to know just how-
fast different snakes travel and if we
knew I dare say we would find that the
blue racer is about the fleetest thing in
the reptile family New Orleans

ANTIQUITY OF SILK
The Product WnH Worth Its Wclsht
In Gold For Centuries
The Chinese empress 2G50
B C was supposed to be the first wo
man to dress herself in silken raiment
though silk was used in the arts nearly
1000 years before her reign She was
placed among the Chinese divinities un
der the title of which
means first promoter of the silk in
dustry
Silk was worth its weight in gold in
many parts of the world for centuries
Its immense cost may be estimated by
the fact that a silken garment is men
tioned as one of the wanton prodigali
ties of the Emperor Ileliogabalus while
a gown of the same material was re
fused by Aurelius to his empress on the
ground that lie couldnt afford the price
Such was the importance of the silk
industry in China that the people in the
principal growing and manufacturing
district took the name of Seres and
their country Serica from the word
So which in the ancient writings
means silk X curious thing about
silk is this The raw material is pro
duced by the cheapest labor in the
world while the finished product is
among the most costly of merchandise
VENETIAN WOMEN
They Have No Need to Bother Their
Heads Ahout Fashions
The women of Venice are absolutely
free from the rule which Dame Fash
ion exercises over their sisters else
where They care nothing for modes
With them the length of the skirt re
mains always the same neither short
nor long and they always wear
plainly made dark dresses black stock
ings and the heelless slippers of the
east Hats are unknown
The universal outdoor wrap for all
ages and all sizes is the black shawl
with a deep silken fringe It is folded
with a short point above and a long
one below and sometimes it envelopes
the figure from head to foot It is nev
er fastened at the throat and when it
slips off it is gathered up with one
outstretched arm which makes the
spectator think of a big bird stretch
ing its wing
In their attire the women of Venice
are independent only wearing local
clothing but with feminine inconsist
ency they are thoroughly up to date
in the matter of hairdressing the style
of their coiffures changing from time
to time according to the vogue of the
moment in London and Tans
Only n Besrinnlngr
The rich widower was paying assidu

I dont know Mr Welloph she de

If that is all Miss Maggie he said

Here he slipped a diamond ring on her

How does that strike you he ask
ed
Hm she rejoined holding it up
to the light and inspecting it critically
I think it will do quite well--as a re

Excitements of BcBKinff
There must be an excitement about
