A variety of millet showed an excess of left handed seedlings, as was also the case with oats. In the case of corn the ratio was almost unity. and there was ap parently -no inheritance of right -and left handedness as such."-Scientific American. Stretching. "My doctor." said the robust man.

In order to do this, however, it was necessary that she should legally belong to that famn ily and so the strange ceremony with the vase was gone through with to ena ble her to become ar member of the family.

Carlemagne. the great Frankish ruler, luring his life built for himself at Aix ta-Chapelle, in Prussia. a chapel and eneath the chapel a tomb. When the onareb died In 814 his body was )laced. fully dressed. with scepter and :rown, in a sitting position upon a mar ble throne in this tomb. Nearly 200 ears afterward the Emperor Otto Ill. ad the vault opened, and it is said that the body of the great emperor was round In a state of wonderful preser ration, still seated upon his throne, with his sword by his side and the gos pels open in his lap. Again in 1165 the Emperor Barbarossa (Frederick i.) had the vault opened. and In 1215 Fred ick II. took the remains from the silent chamber over which for so many years they had kept guard and had them put into a casket of gold and sil ver, in which they are still kept. Canhmere Shawls. Cashmere shawls are of two kinds.. :ne made by weaving small pieces and ;ewing them together. the other by em broidering.the pattern on a plain wov ?n cloth. The real cashmere thread is !alled pashumeen and is made from the down. not the hair, of the Tibet ouat. which is raised In the mountain :s provinces of that country. but the: wool or down is all carried to Cash mere for iainufacture. the business be ing under strict government control ind to such degree that no real pashu meen wool can be sold or smuggled into any other province of India. Fine shawls are made in Punjab and oth wr provinces from goats' and sheeps' wool and sold as genuine cashmere, but are of an inferior grade. In Cash mere 100.000 persons are employed in the shawl manufacture. The weavers are all males: most .of the spinners tire women. The weaving of a shawl of ordinaryv pattern occupies three weavers for three months, the more elaborate and costly for from twelve to fifteen months. Bizet and "Carmen."
