HER CAREER. Mae Judith Simpson was a peach and entertaining in her speech. A dozen youths, at divers times, when with her talked of wedding chimes and said they’d gladly blow a plunk for orange wreaths and kindred junk. "Come to the pat son with me, please," they used to say, on bended knees, "and let that learned and pious gun pronounce the words that makj
n* one."
But Judith shooed them all away. "No vows for me,” she used to say. "1 am a strictly modern maid, and old Ideas seem decayed. The old-time damsel’s end and aim was just to play the marriage game and when she had a husband roped, she’d gathered all for which she hoped. And then, con*ent to drudge and slave, she went housekeeping to the grave' for every cent she had to beg and pull her lord and master’s leg. I am an Independent lass, and I will cut my share of grass; I'll do my little work alone and have the profit for mine own ” Mae Judith Simpson was no fool; she beat the other girls at school and won so many prizes there, the teach ers used to gasp and stare. And when the schoolhouse she forsook, she sal right down ami wrote a book that
afloat are equally valuable Id any work they may be called upon to do, and especially In such work a* 1 have Indicated ashore. “They are accustomed to command, for one thing; they can make men work and keep them going; they can get things done. They are likely to be able to pick out the right sort of men for bosses. If they have control of many men, and they know how to handle things and haw to stow things to the best advantage. "They are all the time watchful and alert, as they have all their lives been accustomed to be at sea, of necessity. instinctively or by observation they know the weather In advance and always take due precautions regarding It; they never get caught napping. “Accustomed to taking no chance, but to having men on watch night and day at sea, they set watches just the same on land, and fire, that special terror to men on ship, they guard against and look out for here with the same care that they would
afloat.
Has I'iliimeiii tHoimlini' On Spring Support To Take I p Vibration Despite the many improvements introduced iu the manufacture of tungsten 'amps, they have remained delicate until the present. There was a time, of course, wthen tungsten lamps had to be handled with extreme care to avoid jarring and shattering the delicate filament; hut in more recent times the tungsten ismp has come to be fairly rugged and available for almost any purposes save In the mills, printing plants, and other places subject to intense pounding or shocks. It had remained for one of our leading electric lump manufacturers to Introduce a new type of tungsten lamp which Incorporates a shock absorbing feature. The filament mounting, instead of forming an Integral part of the glass stem as Is usually the case, is spring supported. This feature makes this lamp servicable and preferable under almost all conditions where carbon lamps have been used heretofore. The Rock rity One of the most fascinating places of the near east is the Rock rity. Petra, in Palestine. In the days of Egyptian and Homan grandeur, Petra was a great city and Invincible stronghold. Caravans from all parts of the east met here for trade, for the Rock City, protected by Its mountains and narrow, well-guarded entrance, was one of the few meeting places safe from attacks of bandits and thieves. Petra , became a ver'table treasure house

Metallizing Wood In France. An Interesting method of applying s preservative to railway sleepers

I and subjecting It to pressure. The I wood Is thus thoroughly Impregnated ! with the solution, it Is then taken ; out, and piled up In layers In a conj arete reservoir. The first layer of j timber Is Immersed In the same cop- | per sulphate solution, ami also rests I o« a layer of jute or other fibrous

Alternate electrodes are then connected to the opposite poles of an alternating current supply, and the current Is allowed to pass. The action Is said to deootnpoie the solution and set free metallic copper In the pores of the wood. Besides the preservative action in thus closing the pores. It Is said that a certain amount of copper sulphate la periuanenetlv retained In the pores, giving ■ n additional mid a decided pre-

The avenue of approach to the old valley stronghob was. and still is, along the bed of a stream running for two miles through a narrow, winding defile in the cliffs. Out of this narrow entrance way. you come suddenly upon Petra, and first of alt upon Pharaoh's Treasury. This building, standing guard at the gateway of the city, is taken as a significant of Petra's financial standing in the ancient world. It Is an Imposing building, very like a twostored Greek temple, with columns, rooms and decorations all cut out of the wall of sandstone. This sandstone which lines the valley and from which the city was carved contains veins of rich purple and crimson and. to a lesser degree, of all the other colors of the rainbow. Pharaoh s Treasury, for Instatme, seems almost barbaric, cut as It Is out of stone streamed with yellow, rose, violet and wfiile. All over the ruined city, too, there stand out altars, columns, and temple? cut from stone veined in such gorgeous colorings as are seen '.n our Rocky Mountain canyons. Ail the walls of the valley and tiie lanes and fissures in the rock are lined with the still distinguishable structures of the only city ever cut
from solid stone.

0 0 a ao &»ik; d cKHKH>a a<H5 oochjchw Pets are emotional necessities. Observe the number of fox terriers sequestered in small apartments. There is no common, easily comprehended joy In the close companionship of au uneasy fox terrier. It lias been said of the breed that a devoted master or mistress can sit up ail night training a specimen, and in the morning it will find something outrageous and lolflly new with which to demoralize its environment. Yet folk in small fiats and folk in studios, they of tbo "tribe of the folding Bedouin," do harbor fox terriers.

Jane Conners is alone in the family apartment for six weeks this summer. Jane Conners felt that need of the soul which calls for the companionship of something and decided to adopt a pet.

i !Yhy Southern Illinois Is Called Egypt to | The year 1824 was very wot. Corn on fiat lands was a total falluro.This year the weevil uestroyed the wheat after It was harvested. The next year, ISS. 1 ), there was a remarkable growth of thistles on tho branch bottoms. Tbe winter of IS:;0-31, was known as the winter of deep snow. The snow was of a depth from two and a half to three feet on the level. It drifted much and was very destructive to fruit trees, j The weather was intensely hot. Both I in 1831 and 183" the early frosts so | Injured the corn as to entirely render It worthies* for almost any pur-

Tiki ‘Pretty To Be Worn*
Anything that will keep the feet from the ground is considered a shoe In Serbia. In the remote rural districts of the country It is. said that many of the people live and die without owning a pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather they travel through mud and snow without adequate fool covering. They consider themselves fortunate If they can secure old gunnysacks or heavy cloth which they tie about their feet with twine in winter. The first American-made ehoca that were distributed by the American Red Cross created a tremendous stir among the people of the distant villages. One old woman who had never owned a pair before took the shoes that had been given to he? to her borne and put them on a shelf above the fireplace. She was as pleased as a child to own them, hut nothing could induce her to wear them. She said that she Intended to save them for fetes, or perhaps for her burial. They were “much in beautiful to be worn," she
said.

forces it upon one. A turtle eats at the most obliging intervals or not, as suits one’s convenience, and very lit'le, of anything that happens to be at bend. A turtle is as quiet as a domesticated sphynx and of so retiring a disposition that a chance motion in his direction, will send him into his shell for hours on end. Jane Connors decided to have a turtle. No sooner had she reached the decision than, as luek would have it, Jim Sykes stopped by to take her motoring, and in a wooded spot up on Jerome avenue they spied a turtle diligently crossing the road, and ran right over him. Jane hopped out of the car in no time and, finding the creature uninjured and hissing in a lively fashion, at once secured him, liiought him home to the apartment and christened him the District At-
torney.
It was very late when she reached home and very hot. Jane could not just find a proper pan for the District Attorney, so she wrung out a towel in cold water and put it on the floor in tho sitting room by the open window. The District Attorney was a mud turtle, and the towel seemed as good as a bank of mud for him to wallow in. Now Jane was alone in the apartment and she left a light, the tall standing lamp turned very low to scare burglars, and she went to bed with her door open to let a breeze
through.
In the middle of the night she awoke. In the sitting room soundeu the most blood curdling bumping hack and forth. She leaned out ol bed and swung tho door wide open, and her heart turned over and jumped up in'o her mouth. Along the floor, wriggling to and fro and bumping lik'- mad, (lopped and squirmed a long snake like white something. To and fro, up and down it turned and twisted and presently made for the upon door in'o tho bedroom. As it came toward her j.mo remembered with a sick despair that the matches were on tho sidehoard in the dining room. That long squirming white thing was now huinpim. and wriggling directly beside th" head of the bed. Jane thought of sereaming lor help but. the people in (lie next apartment are awful go.isipi 1 and Jane la unemotional and the I bci'i.anis wouldn't come. Pr< tty soon Jane remembered that her ancestors were Puritans, and the ^ (Ipki t mb d part of her took her in | l and and said to her, "J'lne Connors | gel up this second and get those j matches." Jane goi up. The thing | wriggled after her, now sileni 011 the lugs, now bumping hard on the hardwood floors, hut chasing along bend ^ her almost ns fast as she. When they got directly opposite the tall standing lamp, the thing was between her and it. She got up all her eournge and she jumped over it and put up a hand to turn up the light. But just at that moment her eyes fell on the thing, and it was making a violent squirm right for her. She sidestepped suddenly and the standing lamp went over with a erash, and there she was with the squirming creature very close lo her in (he pitch dark. .She was pretty glad to hear the people from the next apartment knocking on the door and she was pretty glad to let th* in in, if they are awful gossips. When they managed to strike a light, of course there was the turtle with his front legs caught fast in the fringe of the towel, frightened to the point of panic, poor thing, and dragging It wildly about rtie floor. “And to think," said Jane Connors. “To think I only adopted him because they said he would never force his personality upon me. And to think bow much It will cost to fix up Die standing lamp again. But mankind is gregarious and the family should never have left me alone for six weeks this summer."
