Speaking of collisions at sen, a sea captain recently said: "I think I can explain the cause of many collisions which otherwise seem to be mysterious. They arise from the fact that green and red are comple mentary colors. Every ship under way carries at night n ml light burning on her left or port side and a green light burning on her right or stnrlioiird side. Yet vessels go crashing Into each other upon nights when the lights must le plainly visible from their decks. And when the cuse comes tip In court and nn effort Is made to establish the Mnme of the accident honest men swear directly opposite to each other and believe they are telling the tnitli. "The captain of one ship, for In stance, will swear that he saw a red light on his port bow and held his course. A little Inter he saw a green light there, starboarded his helm, nnd the collision followed. The men on the other ship swear that where the cap tain says be saw a green light a red light was burning. "Now. how does this happen? It hap pens this way: The captain looks for awhile intently at the red light on the other vessel. Then for some reason he changes his line of vision, probably due to n bulging sail above the light. and, lo, he sees at once a green light, shifts his helm. and. crash, lie goes Into her! lie really does not see nny light at nil when he looks at the sail, but an optical Illusion makes blin think be docs. "Try It yourself. Just gaze Intently at a bright red. round object for awhile and then suddenly look at a blank white wall. A green spot will appear to you. Winking the eyes will hasten Its ap pearance." New York Press. PLANTS THAT CLIMB. rccnllnrlllm of Tliclr Lrarn and Tlirtr Modest of Movement. It Is in the twining plants, such as bryony nnd hop, and the tendril bear ers, like vetches, that we lind the high est development of the climbing habit. These plants live under unusual condi tions. In order to gain the light they must seek rather than avoid overhang ing foliage, and so we find the vetches, instead of turning away from the shad ow toward the light, like most of their neighbors, boldly pushing up Into the center of a bush to burst into blossom amid its upper branches far above their less daring nelghliors. But It Is in the leaves of these plants that we find the most remarkable mod ifications adapting tliein to a climbing habit. The leaves of the vetches and vetchlings are pinnate they bear a number of opposite ovate leaflets. The tip of the leaf stalk and the uppermost pair of pinna? are In the climbing spe cies changed into tendrils sensitive, twining, whiplike structures which ex hibit remarkable features. If the slight ly curved, extended tendril of a young leaf of pea or vetch be WHtched care fully It will be found that it is slowly but Incessantly moving round and round In a circle. If the tendril comes into contact with n twig it bends to ward it ami eventually takes several turns around It. Even a slight tempo rary Irritation Is sulllclcnt to cause a bending toward any side. Finally the tendril becomes woody and strong and forms a secure anchor cable for the plant. Not only does the young tendril rotate, but the whole leaf on which it Is Isiriie is in constant mo tion. The shoot to which the leaf be longs is rotating also, so that the ten dril Is sweeping the air with a compli cated motion, In the course of which it Is almost sure to strike against some stem or twig of the surrounding vege tation. Knowledge. Open Colli nn In Greere. The American tourist In Greece Is of ten shocked by the sight of a funeral procession passing through the streets with the dead body borne In au open coffin. This custom originated In a curious way. When the Turks were muster of Greece they discovered that Greek revolutionists carried arms about the country in cotllns. so they decreed that all collius must be carried open. After the Greeks regained their free dom they continued the custom from force of habit. A Itenl 11:1 ran In. "In time," said the struggling artist, "that painting Mill be of great value.

The brnnk, or scold s bridle, or gos sip's bridle, was neither more nor less than n muzzle. It was in p'ncral use in Great Britain from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and In Soot land as well women were muzzled for pertain offenses, some at least of them more imaginary than real. The Instru ment of torture, even a dog's leather muzzle. Is uncomfortable; how much more the scold's muzzle? It consisted, according to a high authority. Mr. W. Jewltt, of a kind of crown or frame work of Iron, which was locked upon the head, and It was armed in front with n gag, n plate or n sharp cutting knife or point, which was placed in the poor woman's mouth so ns to prevent her moving her tongue, or it was so placed that if she did move it or at tempt to speak It was cut In a most frightful manner. With this cage up on her head and with the gag llrmly pressed and locked ugalnst her tongue tho miserable creature, whose sole of fending perhaps was that she raised her voice In defense of her social rights against a brutal and liosottcd husband or had spoken honest truth of sonic one high in oflice iu her town, was pa raded through the streets, led by a chain by the hand of a bellman, the beadle or the constable or chained to the pillory, the whipping post or mar ket cross, to be subjected to every con ceivable insult nnd degradation, with out even the power left her of nsking for mercy or of promising amendmeut for the future, and when the punish ment was over she was turned out from the town hall or the place where the brutal punishment had been In flicted, maimed, disfigured, bleeding, faint and degraded, to be the subject of comment and Jeering among her neighbors and to be reviled by her per secutors. Fireside M agazine. EGG LORE. Eggs constitute the most universal Lin ma u food of animal origin. Plover eggs are esteemed a great del icacy Iu England and Germany. The flavor of eggs may be influenced by the food eaten by laying hens. Hens' eggs have n white or brown color, but ducks' eggs are bluish white. Hens' and ducks' eggs are commonly offered iu our market, but turkey eggs are seldom eaten. In Virginia gulls' eggs nre commonly eaten, and In Texas the eggs of terns and herons are gathered along the coast. Turtle eggs are highly prized In coun tries where they are abundant and, though once commonly enteu in Amer ica, nre now seldom offered. On nn average n hen's egg Is two and a ijuarter inches long nnd one and three-quarter inches wide nt the broad est point and weighs two ounces. Iiecent official government figures show that eggs and poultry in the east ern states constitute from one-twelfth to one-sixth of the total value of u 11 farm products. Cures For Inanmnln. To nn overworked little woman who suffers from insomnia nn old doctor delivered himself as follows: "Shun all the devices one hears so much about, such as counting up to B.OtiO. They nre maddening. Never take night baths If their action Is too stimulating. Go in for a few physical exercises. Including deep breathing. After the exercist walk backward on tiptoe round the room until forty or fifty steps have liecn taken. When lu bed, relax the body completely. Take long, slow, deep breaths, and If you must think of something imagine your self surrounded and supported by a soft, strong, gray cloud which Is bear ing you off to sluinberland. Prinking n glaws of warm milk just before retir ing sometimes hastens the trip." New York Press. Queer Looklnn Worm.

The helmet ad vanced into tho saloon with Mulligan under it, "Say, Mulligan, you know Mr. Dunn. . No? Well, make yourself p.cquiilnted with him. Mr. Dunn, Mr. Mulligan. Mr. Mulllgap, Mr. Dunn. Mulligan," he continued, "Billy wants to get n job out o' your office. What '11 you have?

If you cau do anything for him, cap, why, I'm standing back of him. you know." "Mr. Dunn," remarked the captain nfter the wardmau hud left. "I'll tell you Just how It Is. You know this Is Just after election, and everybody wants everything In sight. There ain't n thing I've got that there ain't a dozen fellows trying to hold it down. I'll tell you what I'll do, though. I'll give you a signed knockdown to the chief, nnd if he can do anything, why, there you are. That's the best I cau do." He wrote a short letter of Introduc tion, and, being pleased with the ap pearance of the applicant, he made It a bit stronger than usual. "Blame It nil!" exclaimed the chief of police ns Dunn stood before him at headquarters the next day. "Kelly knows blame well there's no use send ing you fellows up to me. Every blame position in my power to give Is full, mid Kelly knows it." He glanced up from the letter. The appearance of his visitor somewhat mollified him. "Mr. Dunn," he continued, "I'm sorry, blame sorry, to disappoint a personal friend of the captain's, but you know there's a limit to offices and to patience too. But here, since you're n personal friend of Kelly's, there's one thing I can do. I've got some Influence with the may or, and I understand he's got some small jobs left. I'll write a note, and you take It to the mayor, with this note of Kelly's, nnd I'll call him up on the phone and tell him you're coming. I'm always ready to oblige a friend of the captain's if I can." Dunn took Hie note and started for the mayor. He ran the gantlet nnd stood In line to wait his turn. "Mr. Mayor," be said as the mayor read the note and looked up with the air of a man who knows what's com ing and doesn't want to hear It "Mr. Mayor, I don't want n Job." "You don't want n Job!" gasped the mayor. "Not n job? The chief sent you here, and you don't want a Job? "Mr. cr Dunn," resumed the may or Impressively, "I have seen over 500 men today. I have kept count," he continued, pointing to a piece of paper, "and you are the first of all the men who don't want a Job. And you a friend of the chief's! Well, tell me, what. In heaven's name, what do you want? I am ready, willing nnd able to do anything for the mun who doesn't want a Job!" "1 want," said Dunn, "a letter of in troduction to the governor, whom, singularly enough," he added apologet ically, "singularly enough, I have never met." "Here, Mr. Dunn," replied the mayor, "you keep (hose letters. I don't wnut them. And for the rest, I'll accommo date you with the greatest of pleasure any friend of tho chief's. Go over to that young lady lu the corner nnd dic tate such n letter as you want and I'll sign it. Well, well; a friend of the chiefs and doesn't want a Job! Now, what can I do for you," continued the mayor to the next man In the Hue, re suming his accustomed air of weari ness. And the next man wanted n Job. Two days later Mr. William Dunn sat closeted with the governor. "Here are three letters," explained Mr. Diilin "one from Captain Kelly, one from the chief and one from the mayor. I won't trouble you with the two first." He laid the mayor's letter down In front of the governor and flashed tho signatures upon the ether two letters before him. Tho governor merely glanced at thein and then perused the letter of the mayor. It was a strong let for of recommendation, ilr. Diilin had taken care of that. "Don't believe I've got a thing for you. Mr. Dunn." said the governor, "but I'll see." He pushed a button. "Sturgls," lie said to a man who appeared, "this Is Mr. Dunn, a per sonal friend of t'aptain Kelly and the chief tip the state and of Mayor Clay ton. They want to place him, and 1 want to know what we've got on hand." "Well." returned Sturgls doubtfully. "1 don't know. There's only one place left, and 1 nont Know wueiner mai will suit nny friend of the mayor. I doubt it. Still" "What is It?" inquired the governor. "It's the head of that new record de partment, that's all." "Well, that's n fact. Mr. Dunn," In terposed the governor. "I don't know whether It would suit you, but It's all we've got, and If you want It" Dunn leaned forward In his chair. "What does It pay. Mr. Sturgls?" he In quired. "Well, that's Just It," returned Stur gls. "It only pays $3,uH) regular sala ry, but" "Three thousand!" giisiod Mr. Billy Dunn. "Yes," returned Sturgls apologetical ly. "I thought you wouldn't want It, although there are lots of men that da Still, Mr. Dunn, what with postage nnd sealing was and and things, why, you ought lo get at least $.".(HH) out of It, one way and another, during the year. What do you think? It's the best we can do." Mr. Dunn rose from his chair nnd walked over to the window. "Well," he replied finally. In n doubtful tone of voice, "1 11 take It nfter nil." The governor looked pleased. He leaned over and whispered to Sturgls: "This makes me solid now with those up state fellows, and you cau write Dobbins and tell him that he cnu't have the job. I didn't want him to get It anyway. So It's all right nil around." "Well now. Mr. Dunn." said the gov ernor as his visitor rose, "you can start In when you get ready, any time. And when you go back remember me to the mayor and Kelly and the chief. They're good fellows, all of them. Goodhy, sir." "Kitty," exclaimed the lion. Billy Dunn u few hours later, ns he finished' his recital of what had happened, "this Is my new motto. 1 made It up my self." "Let's hear It!" cxcluiined Kitty ex pectantly. The Hon.

In writing about the cowboys of South America, Mr. Paul Fountain represents them as having been ma ligned by other travelers who had not come In contact with the men them selves, but had listened to stories told about them. To show that such stories increase as the square of the distance he tells the following anecdote, which reminds one of the classic three black crows; A friend was traveling on foot to u place which he called "Chip City." At the first stop his host exclaimed: "What! Going to Chip? Why. they killed seventeen men there lu a street fight last week!" The next day the host with whom he happened to stop varied the story thus: "Going to Chip? Terrible place. Why, they stabbed twelve men to death there a month ago!" At the third stopping place the story was: "I wouldn't go to Chip If I were you. Worst rowdies In the state. Six weeks ngo they shot seven men in cold blood!" At the week's end It was: "Not n nice place, Chip. Three months ago they killed two men In the street." Arrived nt Chip City, which was a mining place, my friend found that a single lii.ui had been killed iu a fair fight about two years previously. Left Her Editor In Tear. Little Miss Yera's Ideas of the sus ceptibility of the editorial heart are somewhat exaggerated. She has been deeply Impressed of late by the erratic movements of a mature friend who prepares manuscript for newspapers and so has come to be something of a writer herself. Over page after page she scrawls undecipherable sentences In her unsteady, primary department Laud, and when the stories are fin ished she submits them in person to nn Imaginary editor whom she has dubbed "Ml. Bunting." One day last week she told her friend that she had written a new story. "What Is It about?" asked the friend. "Oh," was the reply, "I can't tell. It is too sad to talk about." The friend asked no further ques tions, and presently Vera volunteered additional information. "I took it downtown and showed It to Mr. Hunt ing today," she said. "Yes?" said her friend. "What did he say about it?" "He didn't say nny thing." was tho reply, "but he Just cried as if his heart would break." New York Press. The Word Asnoatlc.
