A Mystery of the Season.
No one has ever clearly explained
why, at this season of the year, a girl
whose skin would be hopelessly ruined
were she to roll up her sleeves and
put her hands into a dlshpan half full

golf or tennis, bare-armed, all day long,
or go into the water bathing morning.

color she acquires In ho doing. Why

Centenarian Who Was Never III.
A fact more remarkable than cen
tenarian longevity itself Is reported
in the case of a man of Italian birth
named Antonio Novorlnl, who has Just
died at Serajevo, In Bosnit, at the age
of 105. It is recorded of him that
only last year, being then 104, he cut

India's Irrigation Works.
The Irrigation works recommended
by the Geological Survey give Interest
to tho report on the Irrigation works
of India. The net revenue to the
government was 7.36 per cent on an
outlay of $110,1100,000. The value ot
the crops raised on the irrigated area
during the year is estimated at $136,
000,000 a sum in excess of the cap

Cable Lasts Long.
A section of cable In the Caribbean
sea was recently raised from 1,350
fathoms of water, where it had lain
for thirty years. Tests showed its
core to be In perfect electrical con

rubber might injure the copper wire
had no foundation.
Endless Chain Religious Work.
If there were only one Christian In
the world and he worked a year and
won a friend for Christ, and If these
two continued each year to win an
other, and U every man thus led into
the kingdom led another every year,
in thirty-one years every person in the
world would be won for Christ.
Church Eclectic.
A New Endless Chain.
The Saline County (Kan.) lndx
thinks it has discovered a new end
less chain. "Rvery farmer's boy," It
observes, "wants to be a school teach

an editor, every editor would like to
be a banker, every banker would like
to be a trust magnate, and every
trust magnate hopes some day to own

INGERSOLL'S CHOICE IN LIFE
Beautiful Word Painting of an Ideal
Existence.
A young man who sought a clerk
ship In one of the departments at
Washington once asked the late Rob

and this was Ingersoll's reply:
"Young man, I would rather have
forty acres of land, with a log cabin
on It and the woman I love In the
cahln with a little grassy, winding
path leading down to tho spring
where the water gurgles from the lips
of the earth, whistling day and night

THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF WOMEN
London Journal Champions the Cause
of the Fair Sex.
In all sections of society one hoars
married men, and indeed others,
grumbling considerably at the ex
travagance of their wotnenklnd in
dress. In individual cases "(hey may
have the right . tv'iirin;.le-' -but "'on
principle, and In general, I io not see
that they have any genuine grounds
for complaint, because If women are
now extravagant In dress It must be
remembered that for generations
men have been extravagant in other
anil worse forms of aelf-indulgence.
And, after all, man can take comfort
to his soul In tiie knowledge that it Is
chiefly with a view to pleasing him
that woman Indulges in follies of this
sort, added to which he should count
It as a gain that this particular form
of extravagance adds to the general
cheerfulness and gaiety of life. Lon

Didn't Need a Chain.
In a Scottish town, so the stor
goes, a Ixindoner on his way to a
hotel addressed the porter who led
the way: "Not large place this?"
"Na verra," was the answer. "Has it
a corporation?" "A what, sir?" In
quired the baggage bearer. "I mean,
who rules It?" "Rules it? Jlst the
provost." "Ah, the provost. Like our
lord mayor? Has he got any Insig
nia?" remarked the cockney. "Insig
nia! What d'ye mean?" asked the
puzzled Scotsman. "Yes, Insignia;
that Is to say, has he a chain?" the
polite visitor hinted. Whereupon the
almost dumbfounded native gasped
out: "A chain, sir? Tho provost
chained? Na, na! He gangs loose;
but dlnna be feared, he's quite harm
less." What a Famous City Lacks.
Athens, Greece, the only capital In
Europe which cannot be reached by
rail, Is separated by several hundred
miles from the Kuropean main rail
way system, of which Brlndlsl, Sa
lonlka and Constantinople may he re
garded as the three southern termini.
A projected line from Athens to Sa
lonlka will bridge the last gap In the
chain. Whin this Is completed It will
be possible to run through carriages
from Calais to Athens and the Greek
capltsl will be brought within three
days of london. At present the quick

and Paris, which Involves a sea voy
