are openly particular about th<l
appearance, fit and quality of
clothes, and quietly, but just as
sincerely, about the dollar and
cents value.

LIGHT THAT PRODUCES SOUND
Statement Sound* Incredible, but Ex
periment Will Speedily Demon
strate It to Be ? Fact.
It geettlf incredible that a beam ot
light would be made to produce wound,
but Much a thing can be done. A ray
of sunlight is throwp through a lens
on a glass vessel containing lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or auy Ilka
KubHtance. A dink having elite or open
ings cut in It le made to revolve awift
ly in this beam of light, so aa to "out
I It up," thua causing alternate flaahea
' of light and shadow. When one places
; his ear to the glass vessel he hears
Strang* aounds so long as the flaahing
beam falls upon the vessel.
A still more extraordinary effect is
produced when the beam of sunlight la
made to pass through a prism, so as to
produce what is called the solar spec
trum. The disk is turned and the ool
ored light of the rainbow is made to
break through it. Now, if the ear be
placed to <he vessel containing the silk
or other material, as the colored lights
of the spectrum fall upon It, aounds
will be given by the different parts of
the spectrum and there will be silence
in other part*.
For example, if the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light flashes
upon It, loud sounds will be heard
when the red and the blue parts of the
rainbow fall upon the vessel. Other
colors produce no Hounds at all.
Oreen silk gives out sound best In a
red light. Every kind of material gives
more or less sound in different colors
and no sound at all in others. ? Har

WORLD'S DEBT TO VEGETABLE
Poeeibly 8un Worship Had Ita Origin
In Knowledge\.of the Fact of
the Dependence.
Vegetable life may worry j^long
without animals, but animal life can't
continue without vegetables. There
fore, says an English chemist, man
owes a great debt of gratitude to the
vegetable. He should do his best to
foster it. It is not intimated whether
this is an argument in favor of the
theories advanced by the vegetarian,
but it is considered ample proof man
would not be here only for the hum
ble vegetable kingdom.
But vegetables, like animate life,
are dependent upon sunlight for their
existence. The v vegetable, however,
is both the direct and the indirect
sustenance of animal being. Animal
life of certain species exists solely, or
almost so, on the flesh of other ani
mals. But that latter food eventually
is dependent ? upon the vegetable.
Time would eradicate animate life
should inanimate cense to exist. The
relations between plant and animal
form a beautiful dispensation. Man
owes to the vegetable more than he
does to lower animal life.
"Thus," concludes this chemist,
"Isn't it possible tho sun worshipers
perhaps had a greater realization of
the value of Old Sol than we of the
present century?"
Livingstone's Resourcefulness.
David Livingstone, explorer and mis
sionary, was a man of varied accom
plishments. Besides getting himself
taught on board ship, and later by
Sir Thomas Maclear, to take with
great accuracy astronomical observa
tions for fixing latitude and longitude,
besides .acquainting himself with bot
any and geology, with patristic litera
ture and Egyptology, Livingstone was
an excellent mechanic, a steersman
and a mariner. His resourcefulness
was at all times remarkable. When
he was hard up for fuel on his first
steamer journey up the River Shire
he landed in the elephant marsh- Here
no trees existed and no fuel was ob
tainablex but his men found many
bones of slaughtered elephants, Liv
ingstone at once took tho bones on
board, burned them in the furnaces of
the Ma-robert, and so continued his
Journey.
Picture Statesmen at Work.
A moving picture concern recently
obtained permission to take so ojries
of moving pictures illustrating ench
parliamentary life. Legislators soon
got to hear of the matter, says Les
Nouvelles, some of t them showing
: themselves particularly anxious to fig
j ure on the film. The taking of the
| film lasted several days, and the oper
' ator took pictures of thcflehamber at
all times. Photographs will show tho
: deserted benches of the morning, with
a dozen or sp deputies discussing laws
affecting the whole of France, the sol
emn arrival of the president, life in
tho lobbies, a stormy afternoon ses
sion and the thronged refreshment
bar.
Very Rapid Descent.
At tho exhibition of post-impression- '
1st paintings in New York two Boston
men ' were standing in front of the
much-talked-of canvas alleged to rep
resent a figure descending the stairs.
"This is the worst yet," crTed one. ;
"Look at it! It is simply a tangled '
mass of streaks and splotches."
"I think," said the other, after gaz- ?
Ing at it a moment, "that tho fault I
lies in the title, which is not sufficient- '
ly explanatory. It should tell us that ?'
it is a figure descending the stairs aft
er the carelesB scrub woman had left .
a cake of soap on the top step."

STATE CHAMPION NOT IN IT
Rtal Hero of ths Links In This Com*
munlty W?? the Man Who Re
fused to Play tha Qama.
VN'? had a chance to deinonstratt
our theory laet fall, says a writer In I
the Topeka (Capital. It worked like a
potato in a rheumatic's pocket.
Through the influence of the missus,
who haa friends, we obtained a card j
to a very select country ciub in an
eastern statu, where we stayed ten
days. The club had golfltls In its
most acute form. , The men and wom
en who frequented the club played j
golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept 1
It. It wan the home of the state ,
champion and the game was the one
important topic of conversation.
For a day or two we were lost In j
the atmosphere of golf which befog- ,
ged the place, Then we began jto at
tract av little attention by indicating
in a delicate and poUte way that the
Whole thing bored us to extinction.
When we respect/ully declined to en
gage in the game or borrow any of
the implements connected with the
sport there was great surprise. Our
assertion tliut we did not play the
game and did not wish to w^as receiv
ed with amazement. Up to the time
of our advent the state champion had
been the colossal figure Of the club.
At the end of three days we had
the state champion hanging on to the
ropes. At the end of a week bis ex
igence had been ? forgotten. As a
curiosity he had been crowded out of
place by the "eccentric" Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the
world's^champlonshlp games, deaf to
golf and all of its manifestations. It
isn't always the hand that is dealt
you. It Ib the way you play it.
ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION
Women of 8ervla, Well Educated and
Able, Are Companions of Their
Husbands and Brothers.
There is no country in the world
where women occupy a more dignified
position in the home than Servia. The
Servian idea is quite different from
that of the Turk, who keeps his wom
en behind shut doors or the Qerman,
whose ideal womaix is a hausfrau. In
Servia the woman is the companion of
the man.
A man is responsible for bis un
married Bisters, and throughout the
Balkan states it is considered rather
a breach of etiquette for him to mar
ry before his older sister.
No Servian girl would feel she could
hold up her head in society Unless
she could speak four languages. There
is hardly a Servian woman who can- ?
not play some musical Instrument. '
Embroidery, painting, drawing, and
sculpture are all studied. Politics is
a popular feature among women.
Servian women arp very domesticat
ed and the highest ladles pay personal
attention to trivial matters of house
keeping.
There are two women doctors prac
ticing in Belgrade, and several wom
en teachers. But public opinion, on
.the whole, is rather against women
entering the labor arena.
Jekyll and Hyde Both Out.
One day Mr. JenkinB, senior part
her in the firm, came out of his pri
vate office and handed Jimmy, the of
iice boy, a slip -of paper and said:
"Here, Jimmy, go over to the pub
lio library and get me 'Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde.' I have written it on a
piece of paper for you so that you will
not forget."
Jimmy lost the slip of paper on the
way. When ho discovered his loss
he returned to the office without go
ing to the library and was seated at
his little desk innocently shooting file#
with a rubber band when Mr. Jenkins
said to him:
"Well, Jimmy, where's 'Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde?' "
"Please, Mr. Jenkins," responded
Jimmy with well feigned candor, "the
lady at the library said they both just
went to the ball game and to call for
them in the morning."

Old Town Again In Limelight.
Stockwell, England, where d hidden
church over 600 years old has just
been discovered, has hitherto been
chiefly famous for its ghost, which sot
all London in an uproar In 1772. Mak
ing the furniture dance and the crock
ery fall was the ghost's specialty,
though by way of variety an egg once
flew across the room and hit the cat.
Having excited London and frightened
Stockwell. tl^e ghost retired/ leaving
behind a firm belief In his supernatural
origin, until many years later a serv
ant admitted that long horso hairs at
tached to the, crockery and wires to
the furniture had enabled her to play
the ghost so successfully that frighten
ed beholders never even detected such
open feats as throwing the qgg at the
cat. *
La Grande Passion.
"Une grarrdo passion est une
grande folie. Mediocrity In all things
Is wisdom; mediocrity in sensations is
superlative wisdom. ... No young
lady should fall in love till the offer
has boen made, accepted, the marriage
ceremony performed, and the first ltalf
ycar of married life ha? passed away.
A woman may then begin to love, but
wllh very great precaution ? very c ^oi
ly, very moderately, very rationally,
if ever she loves so mv^ch that -
harsh*' word or a cool look elitfi her* to
the heart, she is a fool. If she over
loves so much that her liUBbandVwill
is her law, and that she has got into
the habit of watching his look in or
she may anticipate his
