Something very similar to the tele phone was used In. China 1,000 years ngo. Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes was utilized in China ages ago. And one of their wr'ters mentions boxes which repeated the sounds of people's voices that were dead, a ma chine similar to Edison's phonograph. Ancient Egypt boasted "a nickel Au the slot" machine, while Layard found in ruins of Nineveh what Sir David Brewster pronounced to be "a magni fy g glass," and nearly 4,000 years agc the Egyptians and Assyrians ob served the stars through a sort"of primitive telescope. Thimbles have been found in prehis toric mounds with every evidence of having been made by machinery sim ilar to our own. Hatpins with glass heads and safety pins with a little coiled spring at one end and a catch at the other were in use in Pompeii 2,000 years ago. Combs and hairpins have been ia existence for 20 centuries, and housewives 5,000 years ago parch ed their husband's garments with nee dles and thread. Very One razors are made at the present day, but are of no finer steel than that contained in the Damascus swords and knives which the ancients usQd several thousand years ago. The people of Tyre were such ex perts In dyeing that Tyrion purple re mains unexcelled to this day. The Egyptians were also wonderful dyers and could produce colors so durable that they may be called Imperishable. They were a!so wonderful glass work ers and could make glass malleable in A way which ls unknown to us. They (Could make glass garments dyed In every shade of color and etched with rare skill. Electricity derives its name from- the Greek word for amber, electron, be cause Thales, about GOO B. C., discov ered that amber, when rubbed, attracts light and dry bodies, and In .the twelfth century the scientific priests of Etruna drew lightning f.xava the clouds with iron.rods. All mechanical powers, the screw, lever, pulley. Inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle were known to the ancients and used in everyday life. They were expert builders. Twenty centuries before the birth of Watt Nero of Alexandria described ma chines whose motive power was steam. He also invented a double force'pump, used ns a fire engine, and anticipated the modern turbine wheel by a ma chine he called "neolplle." While the learned of Europe were forbidding, as a heresy, the doctrine of the globular figure of the earth, the caliph Al Maim?n was measuring the length of a degree along the shores of the Red sea. He and his successors repeatedly determined the obliquity of the ellptlc. A Saracen constructed the first table of sines, another explained the nature of twilight and showed the importance of -allowing for atmos pheric refraction in astronomical ob servations. Di the schools of the present day Euclid's elements of geometry, written. over 2,000 years ago, is used as a text book. Euclid nioo wrote on music and j optics antedating much we think we I have discovered. Both algebra and chemistry were invented and brought into Europe by the Mohammedans, and chemistry and algebra are Arabic words.

The Brooklyn Times gives on inter esting account of a fine oak tree which stands on the grave of a Presbyterian minister lp the cemetery at Hunting ton, N. Y. The clergyman's son has encircled the tree with a bronze tablet with tbs following inscription: "This tree was grown from an acorn taken from the historic watch oak tree of England and planted by the Rev. James McDougol, 1802." The watch " oak tree referred to stands near the town of Battle, Eng land. The place was formerly called Senac. It is uear tho spot where Har old II, the king of England, gathered his army for a ba tili? with William the Conqueror on Oct. 14, lOqo. Tradition has lt that the oak tree stood in a prominent position and that from Its branches Harold's men observed the movements of the Invading Normans. The name watch oak was given lt, and as such It has been known during the centuries since that memorable battle. Tact fe r, . A little tact sometimes saves a great deal of pain, and every man whose duty It is to, select- or dismiss em ployees will find its use as essential to his own comfort as to that of the men with whom he deals.

"Tho tcrtu 'cork leg' IS a misnomer," said a mau who used to be lu tho art lil - clol limb business. "Thor? never was any such a thing, and a leg actunll} made of cork would bo as unwieldy ns a sawlog. The up to date artificial limb ls a very thin shell of weeping willow, covered with rawhide, and some of them that come clear up to tho hip have been built as light ns three j pounds. * "It is a singular fact that a first class leg, which is supposed to have a lifo of about five years, will be more than paid for II tho saving of shoes. Of course, the falso foot wears a shoe. Just the same os the real ono, but for some reason that has never been fully explained lt Isn't as hard on leather, j A llesh and blood log will wear out j four shoes while its mechanical mate is wearing .out one, due perhaps to the footgear never being removed at night and the lack of elasticity lu the tread. The best customer of tho makers is the government, which pays for a new ar tificial limb once every five years for pensioners maimed in war. Tho price fixed by law is $75, but scores of old soldiers simply draw the money and make the same leg do for as long as 15 years at a stretch. Artificial arms are made very successfully nowadays, and a certain amount of action is secured j in the band, even wheu thc stump reaches only a few Inches from tho shoulder. With one of the styles, for example, a mau can lift his hat and re- ? place lt on his head with a surprisingly natural movement. The mechanism by which thc false hand is made to open and close ls controlled by a strap, which reaches to the opposite shoulder. A slight shrug does the work, and a lit tle practice renders it imperceptible. "There has been a wonderful Im provement in llmbmaklng during tho last ten years, and a properly con structed artificial leg cannot bo detect ed by the casual observer. The chief dllficulty with the old style was Its tendency to swing outward in nu arc of a circle at every step. That has been entirely overcome. Some years ago, when I was In business at Chica go, I fitted out a man who bad lost both legs and both arms In a Dakota blizzard. When I first saw him, he was simply a helpless trunk, lying on a cot in the hospital, and his deplorable con dition had reduced him to a state of despair bordering on Insanity. I took a great deal of interest in the case, and I flatter myself that I did a fairly good job. When I got through with him, he was able to get up without as sistance, walk about, feed himself and do a hundred and one little things that changed life from a mere blank to something really endurable. When he found himself emancipated from total helplessness, he improved mentally, and now, I dare say, he wants to live as long as anybody. "One of the greatest obstacles to suc cessful limb fitting is the carelessness of surgeons In performing amputations. An operation may be entirely success ful from a surgical standpoint, yet leave a stump upon which a false leg can never be worn with comfort. I know of a number of cases in which a reamputation has been submitted to for the express purpose of correcting such difficulties. Every medical col lege course ought to include at least one lecture with practical demonstra tions by a thoroughly scientific maker of artificial limbs, lt would be of In estimable value to the students lu aft er practice." - New- Orieaus Times Democrat. Dolls' Heads. Years ago doll heads were made of . wood, carved out by hand, and great j numbers of dolls were sold that were entirely of wood, with jointed arms and legs. Some dolls pf this sort, look- j lng quaint enough now, though they ? were once so common, are still sold, but the great bulk of the. dolls now made have bodies of cloth or leather, with heads of china, bisque or papier mache. There are also dolls' heads of j metal, these heads being made of brass ' in two parts, stamped out with dies ' and joined together. In the process by which the=o heads are made, many dies are used In the production o? a singlo head, the metal being worked to its final shape gradu- i ally. The first die makes but a barely* perceptible impression upon the piece ; of sheet metal from which the head ls to be fovn.ed. The next shapes it a little more, and so on by pressure from successive dies, each a little more sharply defined, the head ls brough* finally to its .perfect form. These heads arc made in various sizes and lu vari- i ons styles as to details of finish. They 1 cost about the same as the best bisque heads, but one of the merits claimed , for them ls Indestructibility.-New i York Sun. . . , ? Freealnfr ?Var?-And Blotbs. Once upon a time a woman who had cedar chests in which to store her win- ' ter belongings was cpnsldered a, fortu- | nate being' Indeed and looked upon with envy by her sister housewives. Now cedar chests, camphor and moth . balls are all scorned as old fashioned and inad?quate by the patrons of cold storage warehouses, where furs are ' taken care of and costly draperies, rugs, etc., are sent for protection from the moths. * The. expert furriers say that heat and pot moths is the chief danger that threatens furs. A month's wear In warm weather ls harder on fine furs than years of use with the thermometer At freezing point Heat takes the life oat of fur and pales the color, leaving lt limp, dull and faded. In the modern storage house the furs are kept In rooms where the air ls dry as a bone and the temperature many degrees be low freezing point. Any daring moth that found Its way Into this room would be at once frozen stiff.-New York Commercial Advertiser. CASTOR I? For Infants tad Children.

To one woman who ls tl picture you will Und three who are caricatures. This unhappy state of things Is not en tirely duo to the stingy way in which Dame Nature doles out divine shoul ders and perfect noses and Cupid's bow mouths. It is more often a general lack of understanding of grooming and gowning. Add to this the painful ig norance concerning thc care of tho health and methodical treatment of tho hair, and complexion', and you havo tho main reasons why the world ls so short on beauties and long on plain women. One of thc greatest words in tho English language is "fitness." The mau who knows the menning of this word and profits by bis knowledge usually comes out well in business matters and domestic ones too. The woman who is equally well Informed as to what is in good taste and "fit ting" is not only beloved by friends and acquaintances, but she is well poised iu character and always good to look upon. The girl who ls 5 feet 1 inch In her bedroom slippers and who invariably Invests in a top heavy hat that would bo becoming only to a woman of ample, stunning proportions and regal car riage is oue of the many to whom tho word "fitness" lins no more meaning than the yowls of a yellow cat or tho peeps of a canary bird.-Chicago Times Herald. Soap For Car Fare. An amusing incident happened on a Carondelet street car tho other after noon. The car was going south. At Laml street a big, portly woman got aboard. On her arm she carried a large market basket that apparently was filled with "bargain" purchases from some department store. Three minutes after she had sat down and deposited tho basket between her feet on the floor the conductor came along with the usual cry, "Fare, picoso," The old lady opened her purse and began rummaging through tho various pockets for a nickel. Again and again she went through it, but no chango was to be found. Then she turned to the conductor and said: "I was sure I had saved car fare, but I cannot lind it. I live at the end of your line and will pay j'ou then." "That won't do; must have your faro now," said the fare collector. "Well, I haven't the money." "Well, give me something the value of a nickel, and you can redeem it at the end of thc line." Tho old lady hesitated a moment, then put ber band down into the basket and drew out a bar of laundry soap and handed it to him. Everybody in the car laughed, but the conductor took thc soap and rang up her fare.-St. Louis Star. A Stivin.T That Zn Loss. Isn't lt possible to have too mucli economy? If ,vo scrimp and pinch every blt of sweetness out of life, what a heavy price we pay for economy! Often one may lose a friend or catch a disastrous cold or miss a train for some little miserable point of economy. People often laboriously save at an actual loss. A woman will press her way to a bargain counter at danger to life, and limb and pickpockets and go away radiant with a pair of 59 cent gloves which will last about three wearings. The same womnn will go to an incompetent dressmaker and have her new gown ruined in the nemo of economy. "Economy is wealth," sayeth the wise saw, but the poor make believe economy which over reaches Itself defeats its own purpose and leads to nothing but the direst poverty of spirit and purse. Before rashly deciding on a point of economy it is fully worth while to sit down and figure ont which is the more profitable, to leave " the gas burning or wasto matches.-Carrie E. Garrett In Wom an's Home Companion. The Result. Greene-Why did they discharge' the messenger boy? Brown-Well, you see.

Rhlnlinn??. An Interesting landmark of German town, Pa., ls the "Ship House," in Main street, above Washington lane, a short distance from the battlefield of Germantown. The building received Its odd name on- account of a plaster of paris model of a ship which has been on the lower gable of the house from time immemorial. This model Is sup posed to have been placed there by a former owner, a sea captain. The rear of the building was thc first hall In Germantown and was used for prayer meetings and singing schools. The front part was erected about 1700, and the hall was built afterward. Ostrich "Telephoning." When the eggs on the ostrich farms of California arc nt tl ie point of hatch ing, says Charles F. Holder, a curious tapping of the shells may be beard.. This the keepers call "telephoning." The sound ls caused by the chicks in side the eggs endeavoring to break out. Those which cannot easily emerge are assisted by the mother bird, which will sometimes break an egg from which the telephoning is heard by, pressing lt carefully and will then aid) the chick to get out.

DIVING FOR FIREWOOD. ?nndwlcli Inl?ndern' Way ot Filling the Wood Dux. Boys whose most distasteful task is to keep tho wood I ?ox lilied, or who aro expected to split tho kindling wood ev ery night, would undoubtedly enjoy living at Hawaii. Firewood thero ls ?ot only very scarce, but they get it out of tho water, another feature of tho matter which would probably appeal to such of the boys as delight in "goin BWlmmiu." ll. \V. Ilenshaw, writing In The Youth's Companion, says of this custom: Upon the shores of Hawaii firewood ls a scarce mid precious commodity. The present forests do not grow near the sea, and lite labor of bringing wood from the distant timber is great, espe cially as roads aro few. Practically all tho firewood of the natives, and much that ls used by the Europeans in tho towns, is drift that is brought doun periodically from the uplands by fresh ets that follow heavy rains. There ls nothing strange in all this, but what is strange ls the way the natives gather the wood. Tick it up on tho beach? Not at all; at least, very little ls obtained in that commonplace manner. Much of tho Island timber is extreme ly heavy, and instead of Moating in orthodox fashion, as wood should do, lt promptly sinks to the bottom. As the freshet gathers headway, down como the heavy tree trunks and branches, dashing fiercely against tho rough lava sides of the stream and bumping against the bottom till all semblance of their original shape is lost and they are bruised into shapeless blocks or split into kindling. Tho current carries them well into the ocean, where they settle Into tho sand. The first stage of their journey ls over, now for the second. In a day, or two tho ocean rises in Its might und sends in huge brenkers inion thc ?hores, which catch tho logs and splin ters and roll them over and over, still o'? the bottom, toward the beach. Here is the native's chance. Ho has been waiting long for just such an op portunity. Down to thc shore come the Kanakas lu troops. No ono Is left be* hind save tho sick and the blind. Men, women and children are all on tho beach, having an eye botli to business and to pleasure. Thc women aro clad in old, looso holnkus, a garment 1 may best describe by likening it to the originnl "Mother Hubbard." Tho men doff their gar men?s and don tho economical mulo, or waist cloth. The children follow suit, so far as doffing goes, and don-well, to tell the truth, most of them dou nothing, and if they are satisfied, you and I need not complain. And now for it. The men dash luto the breakers, div ing under thu big combers and i Isiu^ on the crests of the smaller ones till they arc out shoulder high; then they feel around with their feet till they find a piece of wood-lt may be only a splinter, or it may bo a log so large as to require the aid of a rope to pull it in; but, large or small, no matter. Down dives the Kanaka bend foremost to seize the prize. The worn eu and children wade In a little distance to catch the smaller pieces that get past the men, and soon the piles on the shore grow from noth ing to cords. A hardy native will stay In the wa ter, wading and diving, for a couple of hours and then come out. pretty thor oughly chilled, to sun himself on the beach in readiness for another bout with the waves, meantime solacing himself with the inevitable pipe or cigarette. Hard work ls this wood gathering by diving, what between the buffetings of the waves, tho cold and the labor of tugging the logs ashore. But for all that shouts and laughter fill tho air, and one might suppose the occasion was a summer picnic. Whatever his faults, tho Kanaka has not added to the gloom and discontent of the world. He endures disappoint? meut and misfortune with equanimity, and when the clouds pass and tho sun shines hil ls ready to laugh and be glad. - It is said that two million Eng lish sparrows were recen i ly destroyed in a Btorm in Arkansas. - Haste makes waste and too much waist makes people BIOW._ Be Careful No woman can be too careful of her condition during the period be fore her little ones are born. Neglect dr improper treatment then endan gers her life and that of the child. It lies with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. MOTHER'S FRIEND is ino one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside.
