Mistletoe on Water Elms.
Contrary to general belief, mistletoe
is rarely found on oak trees, and in
Oklahoma is nearly always found on
swamp or water elms, which are gen
erally seen growing in lowlands and
along river banks. Here It thrives
luxuriantly, and does not seem to af
fect Injuriously the trees to which it
Is attached.—Country Life.
Making Papoose's Cradle.
The poorest of Indian mothers
must have a beautiful baby basket or
cradle, fashioned by her own careful
Angers. The general design depends
upon the customs and traditions of
the tribe, and the materials used are
determined by the natural resources
of the region Inhabited; but the or
nahientatlon is dictated by the motl
er’s Ingenuity and artistic perceptions
Superstitious Mothers.
In the far north skin cradles are
commonly used. As a rule these are
very crude and often unsightly in
construction. They are very rare,
even in great museums and ethnologic
collections, because of the supersti
tions and prejudices of the mothers.
Among the Tllnklts of Alaska, no mat
ter how large the family may be, the
same cradle is never used for more
than one child.

connected with the work of supervis
ing the contests, there were others.
This story Is told In connection with
the affair: Their duties, however.
Would have been rendered far less ar
duous bad It not been for the multi*
tude of requests that came to them
Oter the telephone. The bell In their
stand rang almost Incessantly and In
many cases the lnterferers with the
workings of the Judicial mind were
women. One morning while the Judges
were considering a stook of protests
that filled the available space In thsj
tower the telephone began to Jingle
and James A. Blair, Jr., dropped a
document he was reading to the others
and sprang to answer It "Are you
there?” came over the wire in a hlgh
I bred English accent "Right here,”
' Mr. Biair answered in effect. “Is this
the Judges’ stand?” "Yes.” “Oh, I
have been trying to get you. • This is
the Countess of Blank. Will you order
luncheon for six at the clubhouse at
half past 1? I want,” went on the tele
phonist, without giving Mr. Blair a
chance to recover from the first shook
to his judicial dignity, “a hors
d’oeuvre,, some soup, fish”—Bang!
went the receiver. What Mr. Blair
said to the outside air may not be re-J
corded. But If the countess got her
luncheon that day she must have sent
her order through in another way.
RAMESES, A GREAT EGYPTIAN
Was Inordinately Vain and Ostenta
tious, but a Courageous and
Determined Fighter.
Rameses* superb statue In Turin Is 1
proven by his surviving body to be a j
faithful portrait, showing us at least 1
the outward man as he w_as. In per- !
son he was tall and handsome, with
features of dreamy and almost effem
inate beauty, in no wise suggestive of
the manly traits which he certainly
possessed. For the Incident at Ka
desh showed him unquestionably a
man of fine courage with ability to
rise to a supreme crisis; while the
Indomitable spirit evident there Is
again exhibited In the tenacity with
which he pushed the war against the
great Hlttite Empire and carried his
conquests, even if not lasting, far in
to northern Syria. After his nearly
fifteen years of campaigning, In which
he more than redeetned the almost
fatal blunder at Kadesh, he was quite
ready to enjoy the well earned peace.
He was inordinately vain and made
far more ostentatious display of his
wars on his monuments than was
ever made by Thutmose.
.With his name perpetuated in vast
buildings distributed at all points
along the Nile from the marshes of
the northern Delta to the Fourth Cat
aract, Rameses lived on in magnifi
cence even surpassing that of Amen
hctep III. Ills was the sunset glory
of the venerable line which he repre
sented.—Breadsted’s “A History of
Egypt.”

Real Jekyll and Hyde.
Honest by day and burglar by night
was James Coombs, a man of the
Jekyll and Hyde type, who, at South
ampton pleaded guilty to several
charges of burg*ary and one of unlaw
fully wounding. Some hundreds of
keys were found in the prisoner’s
house, and so numerous were the sto
len articles they had to be removed
In a van. Coombs used to preach at
Methodist chapels and Salvation Army
meetings in the district. By day he
worked on the docks and at night
burgled, chiefly unoccupied houses. In
defense it was urged that the prison
er’s acts amounted to monomania on
his part, and that he led two lives, one
respectable and the other criminal.
The judge said the prisoner was a
danger to society, and might have
done well if he had applied his In
genuity to better directions. A sen
tence of three years’ penal servitude
was passed.
Dollar Bills From All Over.
“That dollar silver certificate you
have there has been gathered to
gether from all over the world," said
the bank cashier. “Part of the paper
fiber Is linen rag from the Orient.
“The silk comes from Italy or
| China. The blue Ink Is made from
1 German or Canadian cobalt. The
t black Ink Is made from Niagara Falls
! acetylene gas cmoke, and most of the
green Ink Is green color mixed tn
i white zinc sulphite made in Ger
many.
“When the treasury seal Is printed
in red the color comes from Central
3 America."
I Samovar of the Romans.
The samovar seems so distinctly i
Russian Invention that It will be a sui
prise to hear that It was a Roman in
ventlon.
In the Swiss city of Avenches, whlo:
was the Roman Aventicum and befor
that the ancient capital of the He
vetii, there has jnst been dug up
' bronze Instrument that has all the li
' ternal mechanism of the samovar,
i The jar itself is of a different shapj
I but the use of charcoal was clearly it
dlcated, and the ornamentatlo
showed that It. was meant for keep in
vine hot.
