Inventors are requested by suffering

tition Is the name of a woman who had
a curious experience in a drug store
booth.
"There are two booths in that store
side by side," she said. "They are
about as big as match boxes and are
open at the top so when there is a
lull in street noises the conversation in
each can be heard in the other. One
day when listening to a long and in
teresting communication from the
friend I had called up, I heard a man
in the adjoining box ask for the num
ber of our own telephone up town.
Presently he said: "Can't you get
them. Central?" Of course Central
couldn't get us, for I learned afterward
that not even the maid was home, so
he rang off and left the booth.
"I was most anxious to detain him
and learn his message. I insulted my
friend for life by saying: "I can't lis
ten to any more now,' but might just
as well have let her finish, for I
couldn't get out of that booth. I pull
ed and tugged at the door, but it
wouldn't budge. Finally a drug clerk
let me out, but the man had got away
by that time and I don't know to this
day who he was or what he wanted to
tell us. Imagine having to go through
life with a mystery like that unsolved.
The telephone company cannot equip
their booths with movable doors too
soon, I think."
HOW TO MAKE PULLED' BREAD
Recipe by High Authority Makes Op
eration Easy and Suc
cessful. The following recipe for pulled bread
is given by a high authority: Have
ready a loaf of dough such as would be
used for ordinary bread. Divide the
loaf into eight equal parts. Roll these
pieces into strands the length of the
bread pan. Braid these strands as if
they were strips of tape. Press out
this braided mass until it is about the
size of the pan. Let it rise in the pan
and then bake it like an ordinary loaf.
After it comes from the oven let It
stand undisturbed for about ten or fif
teen minutes, then tear it apart into
long, thin pieces. Spread these over
the bottom of a large dripping pan or
upon a tin sheet. Bake again, this
time in a very hot oven, until crisp and
brown. It will take about a quarter of
an hour. Serve hoL This bread, so
popular with a soup or cheese course,
may also be served at simple lunch
eons with coffee or chocolate. To be
just right at meal time the work of
preparing it must ibe carefully timed.
The bread should be ready to slip into
the oven about one and three-quarters
hours before time for serving. The
bread, however, may be prepared, so
far as its first baking is concerned, at
any time and then reheated when de
sired, but it is not quite so nice as
when newly prepared.

DECIDES TO KEEP A DIARY
DSkces at German Court Ball.
"Do you reverse?" was a question
of the '90s: Waltzers at the Bucking
ham palace state balls are debarred
from "reversing." German court
regulations go even further, and for
bid waltzing altogether.
This veto dates back to 18f9, when
Empress Frederick, then crown prin
cess, was tripped up by her partner
in a waltz, and fell at the feet of
her mother-in-law. Empress Augusta,
a despot on the score of etiquette, for
bade the inclusion of waltzes thence
forth In all balls at the New palace.
So far the kaiser has resisted the
pressure brought to bear on him to
revive the waltz. Dancing at the
Rerlin court always opens with a
polonaise, and the rest of the pro
gram is filled with quadrilles and
pglkas, the schottisches and the
mnzurkas.

HOW WILLIE WON THE PRIZE
Corea Flooding Hair Market.
Rats, switches, puffs and human hair
structures are coming down in price.
These are about the only thing in the
market that show a tendency to de
crease. The cause is a politfcal one,
the annexation of Cofea by Japan.
Since the Coreans have become a part
of the Japanese empire they have been
cutting off their "top-knots." Darbers
on the peninsula have been kept re
markably busy and tons and tons of
hair have been put on the market. The
greater part of hair used In puffs and
rats comes from the far east There
is getting to be a regular glut of hair
on the market. The result may be that
the women will pile more of the false
variety on their head, thus keeping tho
price up. but dealers along Fifth ave
nue promise that curls and artificial
switches shall be cheaper.

He Got the $5, Even Though His Ideas
Differed From the
Teacher's.
Little Willie, having only one eye,
did not like to attend school, says
Mack's National Monthly. One after
noon he stayed home, and his mother
sent him to the store for a loaf of
bread. On the way back he stopped at
the school. The examiners were then
to award a prize of five dollars in gold
to the smartest boy or girl in the class.
Just as Willie entered the teacher held
up one finger. Then Willie held up two
fingers. This time she held up three
fingers, and Willie held up his fist.
She held up an apple, and Willie held
up the loaf of bread. She called him to
the desk and gave him the five dollars.
The examiners inquired of the teach
er why she had awarded theorize to
Willie. She replied:
"I held up one finger, meaning there
Is one Supreme-Being. He held up two,
meaning the starting of the race, Adam
and Eve. I held up three fingers, mean

up his fist, meaning in unity there is
strength. I held up an apple, meaning
the downfall of man. He held up tho
bread, meaning the staff of life. Then
I give him the prize."
She Straightened Them.
Mrs. Clark sent the new maid to her
room to fetch a pair of scissors. When
she returned, which she did after an
unaccountably long absence, her mis

An Arithmetic Snake.
An Englishman had one day told

made the newspaper man laugh, and
then he said as a wind-up:
"I can't call any more to mind just
at present. My wife Knows a lot of
snake stories, but I forget 'em. By
the way. though. I've got a regular
living curiosity down on my place.
One day my eldest boy was sitting on
the back step doing his sums, and ho
couldn't get 'cm right. He felt some
thing against his face, and there was
a little snake curled up on his shoul

minutes he had done all those sums.
We've tamed him. so he keeps all
our accounts, and he is the quickest
head at figures you ever saw. He'll
run up a column eight feet long i
three seconds. I wouldn't take a
prize cow for him."
"What kind of a snake Is he?"
inquired the editor, curiously.
"The neighbors call him an adder."
"Oh. yes. yes!" said the editor, a
little disconcerted. "I've heard of tho
species."

SOME STRANGE WEDDINGS
Three Australian Brothers Married.
Three Sisters on the Same Day
Two Sets of Twins.
Of strange weddings there appear
to be no end, and the following are a!
few of the instances in point:
There are some very remarkable
coincidents in the series of Quinn
Hoffman weddings. A year or two
ago, at Adelong, Australia, three
brothers named Quinn married, on the
same day, three sisters of the name of
Hoffman; but the most curious part
of it is that two of the brothers were
twins and these were married to two
of the Hoffman girls, who also were
twins! Again, some time previous,
another brother of the Quinns married
another girl of tho Hoffman family,
6o that it may be said to be an inter
family record.
A somewhat similar occurrence hap
pened in Trail Village, England, when
four sons of Mr. John Somers were
married, on the same day, to four
daughters of a Mr. Hochsettler a
well-to-do farmer of the neighborhood.
Tho four couples all took up abode in
the vicinity.
A marriago which caused much
talk at tho time was celebrated ln
1896, between the Marin and Rheaume
families, who lived in the parish of
Sainto Marie, Quebec.
The parties were neighbors, and
tho four sons of the ono family ar
ranged marriages with the four daugh
ters of the other, and so perpetuated
tho old adage that "exchange is no
robbery." Widow.

HID HIS GOLD SINCE 1849
Virginian, Nearing Death. Shows His
Housekeeper Where His Yellow
Treasure Is Buried.
James P. Snyder of Luray, Va., Is re
ported to have left much money, which
he had carefully guarded since the
memorable California gold fever in
1849. Then a young man about twen
ty. Snyder, with several Virginia com
panions, started in search of the yel
low metal.
For a time his lot was one of hard
ship and privation. Finally there was
a turn, and Snyder was soon rated as
one of the lucky ones. He continued
to stay in California, all the time add
ing to ids wealth. Ho never married
and his housekeeper since the death
of her husband has been Mrs. J. C.
Southard.
Not long ago Snyder, realizing his
82 years and the consequent near ap
proach of the end. called Mrs. South
ard into a side room of ills home and.
pointing to the floor, said: "See that
piece of carpet? Raise it up and lift
up that trap door." Mrs. Southard do
ing so. Snyder gave further directions.
"Get down there and take that hoe
you'll find there." indicating by a point
of the finger. "Now. be careful when
you f cratch away that dirt" pointing
to a certain spot "as you may break
something." Removing the dirt as di
rected, Mrs. Southard soon came upon
a half gallon glass jar of California
gold money which had been hidden
since Snyder's western trip.

TO AID TEETHING BABIES
To Please the Men?
It is a fact that the impelling mo
tive in the fashions of women's
gowns, hats and other outer ap
purtenances is dictated by a purpose
to arouse the admiration of men?
Such theory lias been promulgated
from time beyond the reckoning of
statisticians. But how docs it work
when the latest dictum of fashion
from Paris is announced?
According to that dictum, the
fashionable woman of the immediato
future will be "dressed like a Turk,
a Spaniard, a Japanese, a grand dame
of the first empire and a convict."
Here is the combination: "Hat. Turk
ish turban: jacket. Spanish bolero,
but with Japanese kimono sleeves;
skirt, high waisted empire with 'loud,
perpendicular convict stripes.' " It is
to be taken for granted, of course,
that the women will continue their
accustomed practice of pleasing the
men. somehow. But, how much will
such a combination aid in producing
results?
Appreciated the "Posie.
A pathetic incident occurred in tho
Waifs' school in Pittsburg. One of tiio
teachers brought a beautiful red roso
to school, which, holding up beforo
the scholars, she asked. "Now, chil
dren, how many of you know what
this is?" Nearly every little one
shook his head, to indicate isnorance.
Ono small boy and a couple of littlo
girls piped out. with great import
ance. "It's a posie. please, ma'am."
Rut no one had ever heard of a rose.
Most of the children had never seen
one before. The teacher put it in a
glass of water to preserve it, and
when school was dismissed each child
was rendered supremely blissful by
the gift of a tiny petal. As they filed
out of the door, each little waif
clutched his treasure tightly in his
small hand, while ho murmured softly
to himself the name. "Pitty wose. nit

Silent Wireless Now.
Men :dong the water front have had

wireless apparatus. This outfit, with
three sets of antennae instead of the
usual two, is aboard the United States
cable boat Joseph Henry.
The Henry has on board immense
rolls of steel covered cable to be laid
between the various harbor forts. Tho
wireless of the Henry is of a variety
recently adopted, in which three sets
of antennae are used, the third set be

sound is absent, and the only sounds to

Limewater Supplies Child With Just
What It Needs at Critical
Time.
Statistics prove that a large propor
tion of all the babies born die while
teething. It becomes a serious ques
tion to the anxious motiier how she
can aid nature at this critical time.
When the tooth is almost ready to ap
pear, a judicious rubbing, or allowing
the child to bite hard, safo substances.
Is often healthful and beneficial.
Have you never been alarmed at
some sudden attack of sickness, and,
when your good doctor was summoned,
had him affirm the cause to be teeth
ing, when nothing in the appearance
of the mouth would indicate the com
ing of a new tooth? We think any
mother who has taken careful obser
vation will say that often, when the
tooth Is first forming, the whole or
ganization is more disturbed than when
the tooth is about ready to make its ap
pearance. Now, how can we help matters more
than by supplying a child what its lit
tle system most needs in tooth-making?
If we take the trouble to look into the
matter we shall find that every tooth
is composed largely of lime.
As soon as your baby lias reached
a suitable age for cutting teeth, put a
few drops of limewater in his milk at
each meal. Ily thus supplying your
child with just what he needs at this
critical time, you will aid nature in her
work and prevent many troublesome,
if not fatal, results.
