One of Helen Keller'* Franks.
About this time I found out the use
of a key, and one day I locked my
mother in the pantry, where she was
obliged to remain three hours, as the
servants were in a detached part of
the house. She kept pounding on the
door, while I sat outside on the porch
steps and laughed with glee as I felt
the jar of the pounding. This most
naughty prank of mine convinced my
parents that I must be taught as soon
as possible. After my teacher, Miss
Annie M. Sullivan, came to me, I
sought an early opportunity to lock
her in her room. I went upstairs with
something which my mother made me
understand I was to give to Miss Sullivan:
but no sooner had I given it to
her than I slammed the door to, locked
it, and hid the key under the wardrobe
in the hall. I could not be induced to
tell where the key was. My father was
~r obliged to get a ladder and take my
teacher out through the window?
much to my delight. Months after I
-x * produced the key.?Helen Keller, in
the Ladies' Home Journal.
Yellow a Popular Color.
What is prettier for wear this season
than a gown of that delicate yellow
tint suggestive of daffodils and crocusses?
There is a clearness and daintiness
about the shade which sets it j
apart from the usual pinks, blues, I
mauves and all the other evening colors
we have seen so much during the j
f entire season. But a yellow gown
carries with it the air of being outside
the ordinary run of colors. There is I
. something just a bit daring in its j
selection, for. after all, it is one of tho
most trying colors among the many
beautiful pale shades possible for din
ner and ball gowns.
" Yellow promises to become a fad all
by itself in a small way, and satins, '
guiles, chiffons and mousseline, rang- |
ing Irom dainty primrose to deep tulip j
yellow, are displayed to tempt the I
feminine eyes. Perhaps one reason ;
>~a for its popularity is on account of its
many possibilities in combination
with tiny paillettes d'or, which just j
now take precedence over all the other j
spangles known to artistic creators of
gowns.?Toledo Times.
Work for Clever Fin;m.
Deft-fingered home milliners can
fashion pretty hats nowadays, but not j
cheaply even so, unless they are lucky j
' enough to possess some good lace, for ,
a it must be remembered fiat this adorn'
ment, when used for millinery, must
be of the best. Nothing can make up
?> for the abearance of cheap lace in the
u. fashioning of a hat.
?-7 But here is a wrinkle to enable
clever fingers to do without lace, and
obtain an excellent 2nd original ei- ;
feet. Get some lace butterflies, which {
can be obtained quite inexpensively^ :
or some guipure flowers in an easily j
separable pattern. Embroider these
delicately in pearls and sequins, fob |
lowing the pattern and elaborating up- I
on it. Apply these gemmed flowers or
jpip-v butterflies on a piece of finely tucked
chiffon at fairiy regular intervals, and
-then star the whole piece with tiny
gold cup sequins, and you will find the
entire effect excellent to use, either j
as a crown or for draping the brim of
a hat If for a crown, you might have j
a white satin ground to it, but almost j
C -prettier would be found several folds !
of tulle or chiffon, to give a transpar- {
?nt effect, with no solid crown at all
underneath. This jewel embroidery is ;
^ A delightful work to do, and obtains an
expensive and elegant effect at really
small cost.
Pretty fronts to be worn inside coat- i
ees, as well as exquisite drapings for
jhA-4ecolletage of evening bodices, can
be executecPis somewhat the same
fashion, though the changes that may
be rung upon it are many. The great
extravagance of present day dress
really consists to a huge extent in the
enormous amount of labor that has I
to be bestowed upon every garment to
invest it with quite the correct appearance.?New

Prlnceis Mario of ?
k Princess Mar^^yftfe"ufl?ince Wal1^-*^
(JemaxI born a princess of Orleans, is
jpb reputed, nowadays., to be the chief j
confidant of the King of Denmark. J
y . who, like so many more, is highly imIP
pressed with the cleverness of the
lady. Endless are the stories which
are told of the Princess Marie, her
brightness and the interest she takes
:in political matters. In fact, nothing
seems to escape her notice.
She reads the papers with care, and |
now and again she sends for an editor
and asks him to alter his views, if they
do not coincide with hers.
One of the prettiest stories tcld cf
the Princess Marie is conected with
the United States. A new American j
war ship, one fine day. steamed gaily
into the harbor of Copenhagen and
was the subject of much interest. The i
United States representative, thinking !
It would give pleasure, arranged for
members of the royal family to go
aboard this particular pride of the !
'-v \ American navy.
One of the very first to avail her- j
self of this opportunity was, of course, i
Princess Marie. Well, Her Highness
caught hold of the captain, who was j
delighted at finding so clever and viva- j
cious a titled visitor to act as guide j
for.
Nothing tired the Princess. She must
see everything! And, to quote the
words of one who was there, Her
^ - Royal Highness went everywhere.
Finally she found her way to the lockup,
and there she found a lot of jolly
tars had been celebrating the evening
before into ioyous a fashion, had got
themselves into trouble, failed to turn
* "i:i fimo
Up jruiil nucnv ctu i.Lie j/iu^'
and had been brought home by the j
marines.
The usual punishment for this by no !
means unusual sailors' escapade j
meant that they were put in irons, and j
this accompanied by a very meagre
diet.
When the Princess Marie saw the j
poor Jackies and had heard the story
of how they came to such a pitiable
position, she forthwith pleaded so eloquently
for their release that the captain
had nothing left to do but set
them free. And you may imagine how j
quickly the story flew round and how
popular the Princess was with every :
man.aboard the man-of-war from that
moment out.?New York Herald.
Flirtation Fans.
All the big fans of painted gauze, !
ostrich plumes and spangled muslin
b0i now go way back and lie down in
SQmc obsc are corner of the shops, 1
for a new, exceedingly tiny fan, made
of feathers, has come into ail their
glory and popularity. This gay usurper
is called in Paris, whence it very
naturally emanates, the Du Barry; by
the frivolous debutantes it is considered
"cunning," and is privately known
1 as the "flirtation fan."
It is a matter of ancient history that
i the great Madame du Barry collected
j fans, and esteemed those made of
| feathers above all others. A really
: smart and correct Du Barry is really
i no bigger than the hand of a woman of
average size when her fingers are
j sretched apart to their fullest extent.
; The sticks are of tortoise shell, gilded
: and carved ebony, and also of horn,
so finely polished and oiled that it is
as transparent as amber. Ten sticks
! and two guards is the limit of these
j fixe-inch-long fans, and the mounting
j is done in small, exquisitely colored
; leathers.
Some of the favorites are junglei
cock, white hackle, brown argus, blue
! jay. merle, golden pheasant, sea gull
j and impeyan. The most expensive and
i brilliant of these feather mounts are
{ done in Brazilian humming bird plum;
age, and in that of the American cardinal.
grosbeak. There are but few
' work people in Paris who are capable
| of making mese fans, for every tiny
' feather is plucked from the dried skin
j of the bird and applied to the founda|
tion in a design that creates showy
I patterns. Another reason for their
expense is that many of the birds
whose feathers are used for this purpose
are rare^ and many are protected
by the laws that forbid the killing of
songsters. On some of these fans the
feathers from the breasts of different
birds are combined in wonderful designs,
and on one of the guard sticks
the owner's initials are usualy inlaid
in gold, and the signature of the maker
of the fan is scratched on the shell
or horn.
The only other fan that dares share
even modestly the vogue of the Du
Barry is an equally smal affair made
of extremely choice black ostrich tips.
Five only are used, and these are
grouped in lyre shape; their stems
are cought by a handle of rough gold,
in which baroque pearls and secondary
jewels are sunk in semi-barbaric
fashion.?Washington Star.
Ffininiiie Sex Brj?ve*t.
A Chicago dentist has observed the
distinctive character Oi. men and women
who occupy his chair from day to
day and has gatnered some interesting
facts.
"The actions of a man in my chair
are as different from those <}f a woman
as day is from night," he said. "In the
first place a woman will present herself
at the pointed time, trembling
perhaps, but determining to see it
through, no matter hew great the pain
may be. She gets into the chair, settles
back against the headrest, and
though she may flinch when the
nerves are aggravated, she will not utter
one word of complaint.
"A man comes in maintaining a
blustering, bravado attitude and gets
into the chair with so much apparent
resignation and determination that if
you ever had seen a man in a dentist's,
office before you would declare he was
a woman's superior in point of bravery
at every point. But just wait. The
minute you begin to hurt him you hear
something, and this something depends
upon the religious tendencies
of the particular man. If he is profane
he swears, and if he is not given to
profanity he uses language so close to
3 violation of moral law that it is
rather hard to draw a distinguishing
lino
The woman will go through the
first operation and when told to come
back the fclovingday will agree to do
so. What is more, she will keep her
word. But a man will go away
gnashing his teeth, and the chances
are you won't see him again for a
week. You have to use all sorts of
means to get him back. The fact of
the matter is he hasn't the courage
to undergo a repetition of the pain to
which lie has ben subjected.
"There is another great difference
between men and uomen which involves
personal pride. If a woman has
bad teeth she wants them treated in
the best possible way, no matter how
much physical suffering is involved.
She will sit for a whole day and subject
herself to,any sort of treatment in
order to have a crooked tooth straightened
or some other natural defect rem 'edied.
This, of course, is largely a matter
of pride, but a man won't do it. He
wants good work, certainly, but he
wants it done in the least painful
manner, and isn't so particular about
his personal experience that he is wiling
to endure 'torture' to bring about
the result.
"In justice to the men it must be
said that in case of sudden shock they
have more nerve than women. This is
evident in the pulling of a tooth. A
man stands this ordeal better than a
woman, but where endurance enters
into the operation, he is not her equal
in point of nerve in any respect."

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
A Hamburg chemist is reported to
have discovered a fluid which, when j
added to water, produces a liquid that
cannot be distinguished from petrol- j
eum, and that can be used for heating
as well as lighting.
Heat exercises a powerful influence
or rocks deeply buried below the j
earth's surface, chiefly by means of i
heated water and steam. In this way
rocks have been very much altered or
"metamorphosed." The crystalline j
schists have thus been brought to '
their present state by a series of I
chemical changes due to lieat, and |
there is no doubt that they were once
ordinary deposits of clay, sand etc,
The smallest vertebrates hitherto j
known have been several species of i
little fishes in the southern states, the i
shortest being somewhat less than an ,
inch in length. A new species of goby, |
to be known as Mistichthys luzoncnsis, j
is reported from Lake Buhl, in south- !
ern Luzon, and is even smaller, its I
average length being only about half 1
an inch. A surprising fact is that ,
this tiny species is a food fish of sonic .
importance. Great numbers are couglit
in the lake, and with peppers or other |
spiced herbs they are prized by tha j
natives.

The transplanting of big trees on !
the world's fair site at Sc. Louis is an
interesting work. A deep trench is !
cut around the tree- four or five feet j
from its base, and the earth dug away
beneath. Then a huge truck Is backed
up to the tree and securely fastened;
The entire tree, 40 or 50 feet high, is
then tipped over oh the truck and an- j
other pair of wheels attached in front. (.
Then with sufficient teams to pull the
heavy load the tree is drawn to the j
place where wanted and restored to !
an upright position. Much care is re- i
quired in the work, and the trees will
! receive constant attention until again j
well rooted.
M. Thoulet has shown by expori- j
ment-s that in fresh water fragments j
nf mimirp <->f thp size of a grain of 1
wheat sink at the end of two or thre*
days, while fragments of the size of ;
a walnut require two or three months
before they become waterlogged, j
These experiments he has lately re- ;
peated with salt water of a density !
of 1.0244 at 21 degrees centigrade, and !
his results indicate that if Ihc frig- j
ments of pumice found on the ocean
bed were of subaerial formation they J
mirst have floated 'or incredibly long j
periods, and he attributes the great j
majority of such fragments to sub- :
marine volcanoes and concludes that j
the pumice has never floated at the
surface at all.
Professor Tvndall used to explain to ;
popular audiences, with the aid of a
brilliant experiment, that the blue j
color of the sky is owing to floating
particles of invisible dust, that break ;
up and scatter (he short waves, which j
are the blue waves of light. This, as I
a recent writer in Knowledge shows, |
occurs principally at a great eleva- i
tion, where the atmospheric dust is j
extremely fine, while in the lower re- |
gions of the air, where the dust is
coarser, the scattering affects all
the rays or colors alike. The bril- j
liant fringes of clouds, seen nearly in j
ho Hiro^tinn r>f thp snn are largely I
due to dust, which especially accumu- j
lates in the neighborhood of clouds, j
and refracts the sunlight around their
edges.
Ax lo Cooking Shrimp.
"It is astonishing," said an oldtimer,
"to find that so many cooks in
this section make the most grievous
mistake in cooking shrimp. Now, I I
am a regular shrimp fiend, and have '
ccme co the conclusion that I know {
something about how shrimp ought to !
te prepared, at least from the standpoint
of the consumer. I was asking
one of the well-posted men in Royal
street the other day how long it cook !
tc boil shrimp. His answer was that, j
as a rule, shrimp are boiled 20 minutes.
There rs, however, no fixed j
time limit.
. "Shrimp are of a bluish color naturally,
a sort of a leaden hue, when tak- j
en from the lake or the river. When |
they are served ac the table they are
oi a pretty yellowish color. Good j
cooks have told me that they should j
be taken out of the water as soon as i
they turn yellow, and I am inclined to i
believe that this is the proper idea.
The complaint I have to make is that !
a majority of cooks allow them to ;
toil too long, and hence it becomes a
tedious and difficult matter to peel j
them. This is particularly true of the
smaller river shrimp. If they are !
served hot it is not so difficult a matter
to peel them after too much boil- '
ing. But I prefer cold shrimp, thor- j
oughly iced, when served, and my ex- j
perience is that too much cooking !
greatly interferes with the process cr? i
eating shrimp, and this is why I make
the complaint. They break and crum- ;
ble, and it is almost impossible to peel !
them, and since I pride myself on my ;
expertness in this line. I do not want |
my shrimp cooked too much."?New ;

The Apple.
The apple is the world renowned j
fruit of temperate climates.. From
the most remote periods it has been '
the subject of praise among writers
and poets, and ine old mythologies all j
endow its fruit with wonderful virtues, j
The allegorical tree of knowledge bore j
apples and the celebrated golden fruit, j
of tne orchards of Hesperus, guarded i
by the sleeples dragon, which it was }
one of the triumps of Hercules to slay,
were also apples, according to the old
legends.
Among the heathen gods of the
north there were apples fabled to pos- ;
sess the power of conferring immor- }
tality.

Bird*' Wonderful Foretliotijjllh
In a small Connecticut village ft pair
of sparrows made their nest in a tree
and their work oh their home was
watched with interest by many people.
Between two wooden factories arc a
pond and a mill-race. The water in the
latter rubs very swiftly. Beside trie
Upper mill and leaning Oveb the race
is a small tree its branches bending almost
lb ihe surf a be of the Waters.
The sparrows were noticed closely examining
the tree; and shortly after the
inspebtibii they We be seed constructing
a nest in a fork in one of the branches
directly over the race. Hundreds of
eyes watched the birds at work from
the windows of the factory. The spot
where the sparrows' home was being
built was so exposed and yet so inaccessible
it was safe from the small boy
and the prowling pussy.
When the nest was almost completed,
those who happened to be watching the
birds saw them suddenly quit work.
They chirruped for a few moments and
then began to remove the nest,'bit by
bit. The nest was discovered later in
a thick clump of alders a short distance
from terra firma.
It was self evident that the first idea
of the birds had been to place their
nest out of harm's way. The rushing
waters of the mill stream made their
home safe. The sparrows must have
looked into the future and thought of
the time when their little ones would
be learning to fly and to what v^ould
occur to them if they fell into the swiftly
running waters.
Mr. Redaquirrel.
Mr. Rersquirrel came home late that
evening, and Mrs. Redsquirrel naturally
wanted to know why.
"My dear/' he spluttered, "I'd have
been home a long time ago; but just
as I came to the foot of Our tree there
was old Mrs; Hen squatting among the
j roots, with her little ones playing in
the grass about her. I tried to explain
courteously; but she is not like
you, my dear, she wouldn't listen to
reason. She thought that I had come
to kidnap one of her darlings. 'Cut,
cut, cut, cut, and run!' she cried; and
she looked so angry and there were
little red rings around her eyes, and
her feathers were all fluffed up.
"I didn't know what to do. The
Greyfur's dooryard, as you know, my
dear, is nearest to our own; but I
hardly like to climb up their tree, as
our families have not been on squeaking
terms since the fight last February.
But while I was peeking from behind a
big plantainleaf, and trying to muBter
up courage to make one dash for home,
I risking the terrible tailons and beak,
to my great relief I heard Mrs. Hen

When the little girls wear aprons
nowadays they never give a thought
to how ornamental or becoming they
are, but they put them on because
mamma'or nurse wishes to protect
their pretty clothes, but when there is
company in the parlor and mamma
Bends for them, ?the aprons are laid
aside, and there they are in their nice
fresh dresses, unhurt by their rompihg.
But long ago, when their greatgrandmothers
were young, aprons were
considered a very Important piece of
clothing. iJo lady's wardrobe was
complete without a goodly supply of
aprons. They were made by the dozen
in every style and design?gold and
silver brocade aprons, aprons wrought
with gold, "minute" aprons worn it
- * * " * ' J J A
that gooa oia-iasmoneu uauce ttuu
coquettishly trimmed with bows and
lace to suit the fancy of the wearer,
and there was gauze aprons and lawn
embroidered aprons, and lessons were
given and patterns sold for embroidering
them.
There is no telling how long ago
aprons came into fashion; they were
doubtless among the many things that
came from England in the Mayflower.
Queen Anne wore them, and, of course,
her loyal subjects folowed her example,
and it is probable that the eariy colonial
dames put them to sterner use
in the pioneer days.
If some enterprising person undertook
to hunt up and classify the various
styles of aprons he would find his
work as difficult as the compiling of a
dictionary.
They have been put to so many uses
requiring variety in size and shape
that volumes might be written about
them. Ladies and children alike wear
I them even now, but the days of ornaI
ment are over?the apron of fashion is
j no more.?New York Tribune.

There are imitators everywhere, but
the dog, whose doings are recorded in
1 Popular Science News was possibly one
! of the best canine mimics on record,
j His name was Scot, and he was a puppy
! newly introduced into a certain family
j circle. In a neighboring house lived
i Rab, a dog that had grown to an age
of dignity and responsibility.
At first the older dog ignored the
puppy, which in appearance was alj
most an exact counterpart of himself.
! Then the two became firm friends.
I Scot was an attenda.nt waiting on Rab's
every movement. They a:e together,
slept together and hunted together.
They were also as one in barking at
passing teams. Now barking at times
was forbidden, and brought, many whippings:
but the temptation was strong,
j and the master and mistress were not
j always present. The sight of the hose
| cart Whirling past one day, with rattle
arid clatter, was a challenge which i#?
high-spirited dog could resist, it gavi
Rab ah opportunity to show hie y<?ang
friend how close to a flying hose-cart
it is possible to run with impunity.
Alas for his pride! He ran an inch too
near or the car swerved slightly, for
the wheels passed over one of Rab's
paws. Although the injury was scie*
tifically treated, Rab was ever after
forced to go on three legs, and hold the
injured paw suspended.
Now appeared Scot's imitative powers.
He noticed Rab's changed method
of locomotion, and, like the thorough
courtier he was, immediately adopted
the new gait He was so clever in his
imitation that it was difficult to tell !
which dog went lame from necessity !
and which limped because he thought it
desirable and graceful. Close observa- I
tion, however, showed that Scot's
shapely paw' lacked the helpless hang
of the older dog's wounded member,
and that the shuCy cOck bf his ears
was at variance with the mourhful
hang &f Rab's;
Sc&t was a consistent cheat, alwdys
holding up the sanie paw that Rab did,
and nevet forgettiftg his voluntary
lamehess except oh occasions of great
excitement, when he was in too great
a nurry naving iour legs, 10 conuue

^'hen Hel?*nii Va<
"You couldn't help loving little Helena,
even if you tried, she is so sweet
and lovable and loving. And just because
she is so sweet and lovable and
loving nobody ever tries. One of the
sweetest things about little Helena is
here sincere unselfishness, and the way
she tries to make other people happy.
One of the things that trouble her most
is the knowledge that all the little
girls in Chicago cannot have the nice,
pretty, comfortable garments and trifles
her parents so dearly love to buy
for her. If she had her way?but listen
to what she did last week.
Last Monday her mother went shopping,
and when she came home she
brought for Helena one of the dearest,
prettiest little fur sets?muff and collar
and little fur-trimmed mittens?you
can think of. And the pretty things
were as warm as they were charming.
Helena fairly danced the first time she
put them on, she was so delighted.
Then Wednesday came, and the
washerwoman. And when the washerwoman's
little girl came, about 6
o'clock, to walk home with her mother
she had no muff, no mitten and nothing
at all about her neck, she wa3 so cold
and shivering that the sigr\t 01 ner
worried little Helena terribly. So He*
lena left the candy she was making
and fleW off upstairs in search of hef
neW fuf ''pretties." I'hat evening when
Helena's mother came back from another
shopping trip Helena told her
that she had given the new "pretties"
away.
"Jessie needed them worse than i
did* mother," said Helena, earnestly.
"We will give the poor child something
else to keep warm with," said
Helena's mother, "but I can't let you
give those things away dearie. I had
only just bought them for you."
"But she took them away with her,
mother,'" cried Helena. "She must
-have done for I gave them to her
mother, and just rushed out of the
kitchen so that she couldn't give them
back to me. And it seems as if it
would be just awful to make her bring
them back."
"Well, well, well!" said Helena'9
mother. She really couldn't think of
j anything else to say.
Rut np*t morninz she sent a little
note to the washerwoman, explaining
that she would like to see her, and the
washerwoman called on her way home
that night
"It's about those furs you'll be wantin'
to see me, ma'am," she said quietly.
"Sure I clean forgot to say a word to
anyone about them, but I couldn't let
my gurl take them from your dear little
baby. So I slipped them inside the top
drawer Of the kitchen dresser, ma'am,
an' there you'll find them!"
And there they were sure enough
when Helena's mother went to look for
them, and when she took them out of
the drawer she couldn't help thinking
of the poor little girl to whom Helena
had tried to give them, and?well, I
dare say you can guess what happened,
can yOu not?
She made the washerwoman take
them home to her little girl after all,
and the next day she went down town
and bought another set for Helena, and
Helena who is doing without the new
doll buggy that had been promised her
to pay for them, likes the last set much
better than she did the first. Don't
you think you'd be likely to.feel that
way if you were in Helena's place??

Femlinc Chicken* by Alarm Clock.
Walter Bernard, ^ome months ago,
secured a small tract of land on Chamber's
prairie a few miles east of
Olympia. and stocked the place with a
few dozen chickens. As he is compelled
to be away from home during
the day, he studied out a scheme for
caring for his chickens during his absence.
In each yard he has erected
troughs to hold food for the hens and
these troughs are connected by wire
**? ? t- ii. - i A,r?
With MS nouse. Wiium LUC Iiuusc itai.
Bernard has connected the wire with
an alarm clock, with the usual battery
attachment. When he leaves home in
tne morning he sets the alarm clock
at. the hours for feeding the chickens,
and by an ingenious arrangement, when
the proper time arrives, the alarm
goes off. the connecting wire releases
the troughs and the chickens make a
rush for their feed, which is spread
before them as if Mr. Bernard did the
job in person.?Morning Oregonian.
