It seems that Queen Mary was busy with her morning Job of washing dishes in Buckingham Palace one day in the early spring when the king, who was mowing the lawn, notified her that the duchess of Marmalade was knocking at their front door. The queen ran to her boudoir and slid hastily into what she thought was her new shirt waist, then jerked a belt about it and flew to the waiting duchesa Imagine her horror after the caller had gone away to find that she nad gotten into one 01 uic muk o auuio by mistake, and this shirt of course, had tails in front and aft just like any other shirt. Well, the queen was so mortified she didn't show her face outside the- palace kitchen for three weeks. You can imagine her astonishment when she finally ventured out to ' a flinch party to find every woman present wearing a shirt waist with tails. The duchess had spread the news that the queen was Introducing the style, and the fashion had spread to our own fair shores before the thoughtless Mary knew what awful consequences were going to follow that unfortunate episode.?Monroe County, Mo., Appeal. Bear Facts.?Jim Brent, ex-sheriff of Lincoln county, New Mexico, told this story to Emerson Hough, says the Saturday Evening Post: Back yonder in the free-silver days, Brent had a friend who had raised a grizzly from a cub and had trained the big brute to saddle. He used to ride the bear on prospecting trips. One day the prospector was riding up an arroyo when he run plumb into a band of six full-grown and untamed si?ver-tip bears?enormous fellows? and they all showed fight The prospector dismounted from his t&rae bear, unslung his trusty rifle, and after a terrific battle, six bears, one after another, bit the dust Then he mnnntwt h<? nwn hpiir and Droceeded on his way, but he hadn't ridden more than a mile when he noticed a peculiarity in the stride. "StM-e's you're here. Hough," said Brent, "he had killed his own grizzly and was riding one of the wild ones home!" Recipes for Long Life.?The late John Blgelow, the patriarch of diplomats and authors, and no less distinguished physician and author. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, were together several years ago at West Point Dr. Bigelow was then 92 and Dr. Mitchell 80. The conversation turned to the subject of age. "I attribute my many years," said Dr. Bigelow "to the fact that I have been most abstemious. I have eaten sparingly and have not used tobacco and have taken little exercise." "It is just the reverse in my case," explained Dr. Mitchell. "I have eaten just as much as I wished, if I could get it; I have always used tobacco, immoderately at times; and I have always taken a great deal of exercise."

Well, I do feel tired, I admit. Thank you so much." The man rose. "Sit down, Jane, my girl," said he, as he courteously pointed to the vacant seat. "I don't often see you out on washing day.

Prof, Schafer, of the University < Edinburgh, in his presidential addret before the annual meeting of the Bri1 ish association for the advancement < science, calls scientific attention one more to the mystery of the origin c life. Sensational announcements wit regard to his address seemed to indl cate that he had found the solution < the mystery. What he did, however, was to em phasize the fact that "we are not like lv to obtain direct evidence regardin such a transformation of non-livln into living matter in nature, even if I is occurring under our eyes." He suggests that very probably, liv ing matter did not originate, as ha usually been said, in the sea, but o dry land, since on land "fluctuations c moisture, temperature, electricity an luminosity are potent in producin chemical change." In a word, this review of the subjec by one of the greatest of living physi ologists leaves us with the mystery c life Just as profound as ever. Ther have been in recent years a series c observations surprising enough i themselves which serve to show ths we are getting nearer the signlflcanc of life, though in some ways these ad to its mystery. Some years ago Prof. Loeb announc ed that some of the ova of certain mi nute organism could be made to ger mlnate without the ordinary stimulu of the contrary sex element slmpl through the influence of mechanics stimulants, fluids of various kindi Then there were discoveries that cell H.a,.An Dcpai airu tiuiii iiir udoucd iu n?*v they normally belonged could b made to grow just as If they formed portion of a living being, If only thel products of activity were carried 01 and nutrition and fluid supplied t them. Many cells can be grown in nutrltiv media, just as bacteria are growi Quite recently have come announce mentB that have attracted world-wid attention of the possibility of keepin portions of tissues, as of veins and ar teries and even entire organs like th kidneys, alive for a prolonged perio after the death of the animal to whlc they belong, so that they may b transplanted into other animals. Finally there was the demonstrate that heart tissues even of warm blood ed animals allowed to stop contractin but kept in a cold place so that no de generative changes would take plac could be stimulated into activity an then go on with their rhythmic mo tions as before. In other words, we are coming clos to the mystery of life and the paralh mystery of death in these observationi They are not entirely new, though the come to us in such novel form. W have had familiar examples of the sur vival of vital forces in organisms tha were dead and sometimes in portibn of tissues separated from their origins possessors. Every country boy knows the tradi tlon that a snake's tell will not die un til sundown. It is founded on the ob servation^ that after the death of snake, even when it has been cut i two, any irritation of its tail brings spontaneous movement extreme! startling for those who fear snakes ver much. Many a brother has bravel brought a dead snake home to exhibl the phenomenon to his large sister' terror. Something of the same kind happen In that other cold-blooded familiar c ours, the frog. His muscles can rathe readily be stimulated into activit when separated from the body, anc indeed, the best illustrations that w have of the relation of nerve an muscle may be found in these nerv muscle preparations taken from th frog. ? The frog's heart, however, is th most Interesting object of experimen in this regard. It will go on beating fo a prolonged period after it has bee: removed from the body of the anima Indeed it is possible to make it do wor! for many hours and even several day by pumping a salt solution through ii so long as it be provided with the op portunity to .carry off its own wast products. To see a heart beating on a plate o in a glass jar is a little disturbing t the ordinary notions of life, and ye such independent vital phenomena i: other forms have b-een familiar fror the earliest history of man. It has of ten been noted that the hair of certai: bodies and even the nails may continu to arrow for a long period after deati At times an immense mass of hair an even beard has been discovered in cof fins that were opened. We have come to recognize that thi only represents a manifestation of th accumulated vitality present in th hair and nail growing tissues, whict because of some accidental clrcum stances of nutritional progress, contin ued in spite o fthe death of the organ ism to which they belong. Motion con tinuing after the death of the animal ii more startling than growth and ye more significant. There are evidently some portions o the body that possess a certain amoun of independent vitality. This came t( them originally out or the treasure o life in the individual, but it gets storei up in such a way that it may continu' its manifestations even after separa tion irom the organism. Metchnikoff showed that white blooi cells would, under suitable clrcum stances, be made to live outside of th< animal body for many hours or evei for several days, so that they evident ly possess a certain independent life o their own. This was not so surprising however, because there was so mucl that we had learned from MetchinkofT ntvn nhaort'o t lr?ne with rptxu rH trt tVl< wonderful qualities of the white bloo< cells. When an injury occurs or a bacteria invasion sets in anywhere in the bod? the white blood cells rush to the par in very large numbers, englobe the mi crobes?that is, swallow them?en deavor to digest them, carry off detri tus that may be irritating; in a word Just like trained soldiers use every ef fort, and some of it most intelligent^ apparently, to protect the body. Thej have been doing this for these thous ands of years, and we have nevei known anything about our debt to then until the last few decades. If sue! cells should survive removal from oui bodies for a while it is only a continuance of the other manifestations of independent vitality with which Metchnikoff has made us familiar. Unfortunately cancer represents jusi such a phenomenon o independent vitality. Certain cells begin to overgrow, crowd other cells, interfere witt their activities and by their own ove: activities Injure the body even fatall - Why these cells that have been harmoi iously living with their neighbo should suddenly take on this aggressh activity we do not know. When we ( o know we shall have found the cause i cancer. Perhaps It is due to an irrlti >f tion of some kind; often it seems to 1 is the chronic Irritation of the scar of ? t- old injury. Perhaps It may be a m >f crobe of some kind that gains entrani ;e and causes the cells to overgrow. >f After all, we have no explanation f< h the fact that after cells have be< I- growing regularly for many years th? >f stop and do not grow any more, as rule. Every human being: begins In i- minute bit of protoplasm, somethir i. less than one one hundredth of an in< g in diameter, which divides in two ar g then in four, and so on until we hai It an adult human being with many bi lions of cells. Why does this single cell sometim< ,s make an individual Ave feet high, i n other times six feet, occasionally ev? seven feet in height? There is som< d thing that stops the division of eel g and all further growth at a certal point, but something that stimulates :t up to that point We have deflni [. knowledge now that check and stimi ,f lus are both due to the activities < e certain glands in the human boc ,f which act and react on one anothi n and upon the cells around them so t tt to regulate growth. These gland e which we thought quite unimportar d are the so-called ductless glands, whic used to be classed as the useless oi > gans. They are themselves produc _ of the original single cell in which tl . human and every animal being begin 8 The mystery of life, then, still coi y tinues to be baffling.

Embarrassing. g Although, according to most tel i. graphists, a telegraphist's life is n e a happy one, there are certainly tlmi d when the saving grace of humor bai i- ishes for a few moments the dreai monotony of "keypushing." e These little humorous interlude >1 generally arise from errors in tel< s. grams; for, although the British tel< y graph service is the best and mo e accurate In the world, even Brltlt . telegraphists are but human. It mu be understood, of course, that mar s of these errors are detected in tran tj mission, and rectified before the mei sage is delivered. For instance, a person receiving . wire, "Lizzie got a fire box. Come i >. once," would no doubt be very my a tlfled. Fortunately the message wi n queried in transmission, and the r< a sultant "Lizzie got a fine boy. Con y at once," proved to be quite satisfai y tory to the recipient. Similarly, "cocl y le and cater works" is a very diffe It ent message to "cycle and mot< a works," and also "Send trouse lime seated," a very unsatlsfactoi s substitute for "Send trousers tin if stated." ir Most of these errors are cause y through bad spacing of the Mori ), dots and dashes, and also faulty win e are very conductive to mistakes. Ti d following is a good example of faul e spacing: Just about the time M e Balfour retired from the leadership < the Conservative party, a teiegrapm: e was receiving some press work, I which occurred the phase "(Mr. Ba four.)"

Also the error "a godle: game resulted," instead of "a goa r less game resulted," is somewhat r< markable. When Florence Nightingale w? t buried one of the hymns sung wf n "Onward, Christian Soldiers," but ui n fortunately a mistake occurred in th transmission of a certain messag and the result was, "Onward, ChrU n tian Solicitors." e Then "St. Peter's and Crockies" , not much like "Starters and Jockeys, yet the former was received for th " letter. A message was receivec - "Come at once if you wish to see bab arrive." It should have been, "Com at once if you wish to see baby alive.
