Death Accidental.

The finding of the Noble county ‘coroner is that Mrs. Emeline Gilbert came to hey death accidéntallﬁg‘, Last ‘Tuesday Mrs. Giibert, aged 84, buru[ed to. death in her ~ home near the Catliolic church in 'this city when her clothing took fire just before the noon hour Wednesday and burned from her body. Nearby was found a large | fork used by the aged lady, almost _'Z;lple;ss from infirmaties, for toasting ‘Bread in her hard coal stove. The theory advanced by James Summers faf given in the Banner that Mrs. GilJbert in removing 'a piece of bread brought out a live coal with it whichk fell in her lap, :sefting fire to her clothing with fatal results. The funeral was held Friday, with burial in Oak Park. = naE ¢

Must Have: Receptacles.

The- postmaster gemeral, in an order issued August 25, 1922, ruled that delivery of mail to patrons of postoffice by city carrier be confined strictly to houses provided with mail receptacles or with slot cut in the door. This order becomes effective March 1, and is mandatory. It is not the purpose of the postoffice to deprive any one of the use of the mails, but rather to perfect an efficient system so that all may enjoy more expeditious service, and the carriers be relieved from a constant source of ipfiiation. . o 0 e This order is reasonable and: mutually ~advantageous to the patrons and’ carriers, as ‘is evidemced by. 90 percent of the patrons of this office. s VUGN B Millngr.

SIX YEARS TO MAKE GOWN

Gorgeous Wédding Dresses Apparent_ly Matter of Necessity in the Dutch G e o Eask diilles - P On the island of Madura, in the Dutch East Indies, the girls marry when they -are very: young. T{vvelve' years is the average when a girl takes on the responsibilities of ‘making a home, In fact, if she were unmarried at fourteen she.would be considered an “old maid.” The bridal gown is a very complicated, gorgeous and valuable garment, hand-woven silk being the base of the wedding dress. This soniythesare. . ol . After, this beautiful material has been woven there comes the tedious,’ fine work of embroidery, observes the Detroit News. Thousands .of tiny ‘stitches are taken and the most beautiful colors are worked into the silk. Even when the gown is at this stage of construction it is quite a gorgequs and imposing affair. But -the final ‘decoration has not been started yet. Now comes the gold which is added. -Into the skirt, around the waist and over the shoulders are appliqued! very beautifully, filigree designs of handbeaten gold. ; e N Ma.dum it takes many a mother 'all the spare hours of six years to make one of these gorgeous wedding dresses. | ‘ Vi i

PENS USED BY THE ANCIENTS

Theory Put Forward That Babylonian Writers Employed Stippling | ' . Tools' of Glass. i Bahylonian authors of hieroglyphics certainly didn’t use gold pen points. Did their use stippling tools of glass? is the interesting archeological question put by a writer in The Glass Container (New York), says the Literary Digest. |We read: - . ' “It is more likely that the Egyptian scribes first tised the glass stylus for their picture writing on papyrus. Be that as lit may, one of the latest novelties in fountain pens has a glass point. The ink flows down exterior flutings in the g]af:s. ~ The nib is more durable than gold, and the ink flows freely and evenly from it. New glass points can be inSerted in the ink barrel just ‘as a cork is put into the bottle. “This pen is novel in other respects. The »oué}':de» body of the barrel is bamhoo, varnished. It is equipped with a self-filler, located in the middle of the barrel, which operates by pressure upon the rubber ink bag inside. The cap has a small, hard rubber collar at its end and there is a hard rubber safety check band on the self-filling device. A safety clip on the cap prevents loss.” : SR

Little Interest in the Phone.

When the telephone was struggling for recognition 40 years ago it was' the'idea of Alexander Bell to popularize the instrument by showing it at public gatherings and incidentally, in this manner, to gather some coin to help defray the great expense which he was put to in the development of the instrument. Mrs. W, J. Coyle, now of Floral Park, Long Island, was living in Baltimoge, Md,, at that time and was engaged in preparing for a charity fair when she was approached by a friend who was also interested in the fair and he brought with him the inventor of the telephone who explained his scheme. The idea was to install instruments at the fair and at the Masonic temple a few squares away and to make a charge:of ten cents at either end for the experience of conversing over the wire. The instrument created little interest and the proceeds were barely worth while.

Egypt’s Dense Population.

Bgypt has an area of about 350,000 square miles. The bulk of the country consists of inhospitable sand and desert. - Practically the only settled pottion consists of a very narrow band of éultivated territory on each side of the Nile. The Nile valley and delta, the only settled portion of Egypt, have an area of 12226 square miles, almost exactly one-feurth the size of New York state. This narrow area contains the densest population in the world. At the moment it should come to approximately 14,000,000, If New York state were as densely peopled, it would have nearly 60,000,000 inhabitants, while the- United Kingdom would on the same basis have 140,000, 000—From Current History. = A ——————e oy

Passing of a Real Sport.

If the present rage for fur continues it won't be many years until the present tendency to go in for strawberry raising, chicken farming, etc., will be superseded by a. rush to start skunk, 'possum and coon ranches. l Fur-bearing animals will be raised in great numbers and they will not be molested until their fur is right, that the quality of the pelts may be improved. But the plcturesqueness and adventures of the business will be gone ‘forever.

TRUSSED FOX IN HAY SHEAF

New Zealand. Farmer Reports Occur _ rence Which in Many Respects = Is- Remarkable. ; on

A New Zealand farmer in Pinkertons Plains reports the unique feat of trussing a fox In a sheaf ofthay. The farmer was working his binder in a heavy crop, and was frequently in difficulties owing to the density of the cut. He therefore did not take much notice of a severe bumping and jolting of the machine, until he saw something dark pass under his feet going through the ‘machine. The difficulty cleared itself and the bhinder went smoothly, but the farmer thinking over the matter, thought he had caught a ‘rabbit, and got down to investigate. ‘He found that the machine was all right, but on the apron were splashes of blood, which caused him to go back to some sheaves that had been thrown off the carrier. To his surprise he found a fox, securely trussed up in the hay, the binder twine encircling the sheaf. The animal had both hind legs off, one close up to the thigh. where ‘the knives had caught it, presumably asleep in the crop. e A

Machinery for South Africa./

Imports of mining machinery into South Africa in 1921 exceeded those of 1918 by more than 20 per cent, and show an appreciable increase over those of the intervening years, says the industrial machinery 'division of the : Department of Commerce. The most notable feature shown by these imports statistics is the expansion which has taken place in machinery imported from the United States. Despite the fact that there was a decided drop of imports from the United States in 1920, as compared with those of 1919, the salient fact is that in 1921 the manufacturers of the- United States supplied more than 35 per cent of the mining machinery purchased by the mines of. the Union 'of -South Africa, which is more than twice the amount purchased from the United States in 1918. sk 5

g Vitality of Matthew Arnold.. Matthew Arnold has been dead 34 years. Most of the men who. knew him intimately are also gone. The fusillade of diary, reminiscences, and post mortem recollections have been fired. Now value only is the test of his poetry. What survives? When 4 Twentieth century publisher was asked this question, he turned to his bill of sales under Arnold. One feels like Chesterton when he heard a writer describe to what heights ecan rise “a Shakespeare, a Burns and an Ingersoll:;” an impulse to run and ~whisper such a delightful incident to Arnold’s tomb in Laleham. Yet, after all, this was a ‘reasonable test. To read an author’s book is a compliment; to buy it a recognition.—Stanley T. Williams in the North:American Review, + oy
