-Starch! Stiff!' I said to the
Otnainan aa I pointed to my package

my returu, I stopped on the way from
tit station, presented my check, paid
44 cents, and came home with my
package.
?There waa my millinery parcel

opened the paper, only to have fall

thought had been at the laundry.
"Naturally, It took but it few min

?0 GAY WIDOWS LIVE HERE
When Husband Dies In Madagaacar
His Wife Is Subjected to Many
Cruel Treatments.
Ttiere are no gay widows 1n Mada
gascar? not, at least, for one year
after the husband has died. In Mada
gascar, on the death of any man of
position, on the day of the funeral the
wife Is placed in the house draMwrt
Iq her best clothes and wearing her
?titer ornaments, of which In general
?he possesses a considerable quantity.
There fihe remains until the rest of
the house have returned from the fu
LflftaJL
As soon as her relatives return they
begin to revile her in most abusive
language and tell her that it is her
fault that she has been stronger than
her husband and that she la really the
cause of hia death. They proceed to
tear the ornaments from her ears and
neck and arms and give her a cloth
|_l&d ft spoon with a broken handle and
s dish with the foot broken off. Her
hair la disheveled and she is covered
with a coarse mat. under which she
remains all day long and can only
leave at night. And she may not apeak
to anyone who goes into the house.
| Neither Is she allowed to wash her
face or hands, but only the tips of
tor lingers.
1 All this the Madagaacar widow en
fares for a year, or at lea8t for eight
?onthe, and even when this la over
h?r time for mourning la not ended
for a considerable period.
The last straw conaiats of the fact
that she Is not allowed to go home to
her own relations until she has been
first divorced by her husband's family.

PIANO KEYS MADE OF MILK
Substitute for Ivory Found to Be More
EndurabU and . la Extensively
Used In Manufacturing.
It is a little known faot that the
moat delightful music at the present
day 1& produced by playing on milk,
says London Answer*.
The supply of Ivory nowadays does,
not, to a great extent, meet the de- ,
mand. Strange aa It may aound, skim
milk forms a substitute. It la used
for making the keyboards of planoa,
and In appearance this hardened sub
stance is hardly distinguishable from
ivory.
What is more, it is much less ex
pensive, and lta durability nearly dou
ble.
Syrollt, aa the skim milk ivory is
named, is -a practically new invention,
but at the present time thousands of
gallons of separated milk are dally
transformed into one of the most use
ful materials of modern invention.
The milk is not mixed with any oth
er substance, but, after being purified,
it la compressed, so that all the mois
ture is extracted, and the substance
becomes hard and dry.
Practically In every part of the
globe this product Is now used. It is j
turned into umbrella handles, buttons,
photograph frames, etc. The comb
making Industry especially appreciates
its worth as it can be made to look
like horn. Its nonlnflammability is
another of its assets.
Too Much Like Home.
Two burglars made all arrange
ments to rob a certain house. The
night chosen for the deed was wet and
muddy. One remained on guard at
the front, while the other entered and
started upstairs. His boots, which
were wet and very much in need of
repair, made a Bogging squeak as each
slowly measured step was made. A
female voice was heard from one of
the rooms calling to him in a very
authoritative tone:
"You go right downstairs and take
those boots off. I'm tired of having
to clean up mud and dirt after you.
March right down and take them off."
The burglar marched down and
when he joined his companion he
said: ?'
"I can't rob that house, Bill; It
seem? too much like home."
To Write Well.
For a man to write, well, there are
required three necessaries:
To read the best authors, observe
the best speakers and much exercise
of his own style.
In style, to consider what ought to
be written, and after what manner.
He must first think and excogitate his
matter, then choose his words and
examine the weight of either. Then
take care in placing and ranking both
matter and words, that the composi
tion be comely, and to do this with
diligence, and often.
No matter how slow the style be at
first, so it be labored and accurate;
seek the best, and be not glad of the
forward conceits or first words that
offer themselves to us, but judge of
what we Invent and order what we
approve.
?
He Might Qo Once.
An elderly gentleman, a stranger (n
New York, and not sure of his way,
stopped a young man on Fifth avenue
and said:
"Youftg man, I would like very
much to go to Central park."
The young man became thoughtful
for a moment, and then, looking the
old gentleman In the face, said:
"Well. I dont mind your * going
Just this once, but dont ever, evei
ask me to go there Again."
