NEEDLE USED BY MEN.
The masculine equivalent of the word
needlewoman probably is not found in
any grammar or dictionary. Yet the
use of the needle by men Is not at all
uncommon. Sewing Is a masculine
occupation in India, and without going
so far afield "necdleinen" may easily
be found. In Europe the art of needle
craft has some Illustrious male devo
tees. The Grand Duke of Hesse is
devoted to embroidery, and among the
treasured possessions of Queen Alex

JAPANESE WOMEN.
The Japanese woman Is in many re
epects like her Western sister, though
ner methods of carrying out the same
ideas may seem to be so different. For
Instance, while the Japanese woman
,.ould not bo Induced to tight lace her
S waist, she binds up her loins so tightly
that she cannot walk, but must Just
ehuffle. Though her clothes, too, seem
to be free from ornament, she has her
methods of being ornamental, and even
extravagant.
. For instance, every time her hair is
taken down two hours are spent in re
dressing It, and nothing would Induce
her. to go to a picnic or a threatre
without popping into the sleeves of her
kimono her little dressing case made of
scarlet brocade, which contains her

temple to pray if her obi did not sit
Just as an obi ought to sit, and has ever

BAND EMBROIDERY A FEATURE.
Hand embroidery is a feature of the
most charming of the new models. It
appears in dainty touches on street and
visiting toilettes, and to a far greater
extent on some of the more elaborate
dinner and reception costumes. Crepe
de chine takes embroidery most effec
tively, as anyone who has observed the
Japanese embroideries on crepe can
testify. A handsome dinner gown is
of one seam crepe de chine in a pale
lemon tint, the double width material
being necessary for satisfactorily car
rying out the flowing lines of the skirt
The skirt falls in plain straight folds,
Its one decoration being the heavy rose
pattern embroidered in fine fllo silks,
the garlands or sprays scattered irregu
larly from the hem to about knee
flepjh. The embroidery is in the exact
shade of the crepe de chine," this match
ing of the silks to the fabric color being
a feature of the finest work. The
bodice Is a draped effect over a fully
feather-boned lining, the sleeves or
shoulder puffs ending in frills of lace
and capped with lace epaulettes. A
distinctive feature is the silk and vel
vet petaled roses disposed of on the
hhouldor and bustline of the bodice,
(these matching in shade the roses on

TWO HINTS FOR SUMMER WEAR.
"Is It because the sequin frock is al
ways wreathed In smiles that It is re
warded with such special favor?" asked
a woman during a recent discussion of
the ever Interesting question of dress.
"It is positively years ago since the
decease of the sequin frock was dally
expected, but It flourishes still. The
thing is always smiling, always spark
ling and cheery; I believe that must
be the secret of Its success, of Its Im
pregnable position in the hart of wom
ankind, and of mankind for the matter
of that. Have I not myself been be
guiled Into a sequin frock, something
all mothor-of-pear and very fine steel
sequins, those contrasting with soft
chenille embroideries, and lots of other
details all going to make a most fascin
ating surface?"
The raised laees come In handily for
one's summer dressmaking. One can

THE CROCODILE.
The following is a Chicago boy's
composition on "The Crocodile:') "The
crocodile is a large animal that Inhab
its the Nile and loves to go on the
sandy bench to bask In the sunshine
and lay eggs. It looks some like a
daschund, only there Is more of it at
the ends and it is bigger. There was
a crocodile once that escaped from a
circus. It roamed over the country,
seeking in vnln for pigs and small chil
dren to devour, and died of starvation
In great anguish. You can ride on the
back of a crocodile, but It is more com
fortable to use a saddle. It Is usually
quiet, but Is terrible when roused. We
all ought to be thankful we arc not a

A SIMrLE BAROMETER.
The accompanying Illustration, taken
from the New York Evening Mall,
shows a simple but reliable barometer
thnt any boy or girl can make with
very little trouble and at no cost.
When you make a device of this kind
yourself you take a good deal more in
terest in it than in one bought at the
shop.
To make the barometer that we here
illustrate the only articles needed are
a wide mouthed pickle jar and a clean
Venetian oil flask. Pour plain water
into the pickle Jar until it reaches to
HOW IT 18 PUT TOQETHEB.
within one-third of the top. Make a
hole In the cork of the Jar that will re
ceive the neck of the flask, and allow
It to go down far enough In the Jar
Just to enter the water. That Is all.
The Illustration shows the whole thing.
Look at your barometer every day,
and if you see that the water is well
up in the neck of the flask the weather
is going to be fine; if, on the contrary,
the water has fallen it means thnt the
air is damp and that the weather Is
likely to be stormy.
THE EAGLE'S EYE.
All birds of prey have a peculiarity
of eye structure that enables them to
see near or distant objects equally
well. An eagle will ascend more than
a mile in height, and from that great
elevatlpn can perceive Its prey, small
though it may be, and pounce on it
with certainty. Yet It can examine an
object close at hand Just as Well, thus
possessing a power of accommodating
Its sight to distance that is impossible
to the human eye.
In looking at tills page you find thnt
there is some particular distance, prob
ably about ten Inches, at which you
can see each letter distinctly and rend
the words; but if you move the page
off to a distance of forty inches, or
bring it up to within five inches of
your eyes, yoa cannot read it at all.
But the eagle has the power of alter
ing what is called the focus of its eye
as it pleases. It has only to look at an
object from a distance of two miles or
a few inches to see It equally well.
The ball of the eye is surrounded by
fifteen little plates, called sclerotic
bones. They form a complete ring, and
jtheir edges slightly overlap each other.
When it looks at a distant object this
jclrclo of bones expands, and the ball
pf the eye, being relieved from the pres
sure, becomes flatter; when it looks at
a near object tho circle contracts and
the ball of tho eye is squeezed into a
rounder form.
All this Is done Involuntarily; It is
Simply a provision of nature. In human
beings a very round eye Is near sighted,
flU j
and a lint eye is far-sighted; and ths
eagle has first one and then the other,
as it may suit his purpose. New York

AUNT MARY STORIES.
Wolves Were numerous in the early
days in Indiana. My father always
brought the sheep into a lot close to
the house at night. We had two large
dogs and a small house dog that had
come with us from Kentucky. One cold
winter night we heard the big dogs
barking furiously, and wo knew there
were wolves in the neighborhood. My
father sprang from the bed, put on
bis shoes and trousers, and ran out
doors. The little house dog followed at
his heels and yelped plteously. Out
side the sheep were huddled lu the cor
ner of the lot nearest the house, while
a gaunt, big wolf was circling about
trying to get past the dogs and at the
sheep. On seeing my father the wolf
started for the woods,-' the two big
dogs in pursuit, but afraid to seize him.
Now one of the dogs was a swlft
runnlng hound that could outrun any
wolf. But once a wolf had gashed him
with his teeth and the hound would
never thereafter take hold of a wolf,
although ho would run after wolves,
circle around them and try to bring
them at bay. But the little house dog
was afraid of wolves, not only for him
self, but for my father. He was afraid
my father would get tod close to the
wolves on tills occasion and so he ran
In front of him and tried to stop him.
He got In my father's way and finally
seized him by the trousers leg and
tried to. hold him. This exasperated
my father, who was trying to catch up
with the dogs that had nearly stopped
the wolf. Finally, kicking the small
dog loose he ran on, but the wolves had
got then Into the Umber and eould
not be found.
Returning, he found that the small
house dog had leaped up on a shed and
then climbed up to the very comb of
the house and stood there trembling in
the moonlight We had many a laugh
afterward as we recalled the fact In
dlanapolls News.
WHEN A REINDEER'S ANGRY.
We were forced to wait three days
after it had stopped snowing for a
crust to form, so that we eould travel
again. It was with many misgivings
that we began the last half of the jour
ney, since the snow was now very deep
and the danger of our sinking Into
drifts was great. To add to our gen
eral feeling of fear the reindeer be
haved very badly and were exceed
ingly unruly. The wind had moder
ated somewhat, but it was still intense
ly cold.
We had traveled half the day with
out any serious mishap, and were be
ginning to forget our fears at starting
out, when we sped merrily down 8
mountain side, singing and holloing at
the top of our voices, and ran into a
gulch and stuck there. The song
stopped In our throats, and we sprang
to our feet to sink waist deep in the
drifts that had entrapped us.
Every movement of our bodies sank
us deeper in the snowdrifts, and the in
furiated reindeer, finding themselves
caught In the banked-up snow almost
to their haunches, 'turned upon us and
would have pawed us to death but for
the forethought of Ooslllk, who, seeing
our danger, sprang forward and, hoist
ing the overturned pulks in his strong
arms, brought them down over our
heads and shoulders and pinned us out
of sight in the snow.
We heard the hoofs of Uncle Ben
beating of the pulk's side as he pawed
up the snow in his efforts to get at us,
and if we had not held to the straps
and had not kept the pulk over us he
would have tossed It into the air with
one sweep of his horns, and would still
have had his bout with us, in which
case we should hnve been helpless and
completely at his mercy.
For tho first time we had occasion to
see how fierce an. angry reindeer can
be. When he was convinced that he
could not reach us, Uncle Ben turned
upon Oosllik, and we heard the Esklms
shouting and clubbing the deer as he
ran in nnd out of the pulks In a swift
circuit, pursued by the bellowing rein
deer. We spent an exciting half hour undct
the pulks, with the hoofs of the deer
rattling like hall on the frozen boards,
and then the unusual commotion
ceased all at once, for the reindeer had
found a lichen bed. In a jiffy they
were pawing up the snow in their
hurry to get at the succulent moss,
and we were forgotten.
Amalik and Ooslllk lifted the pulks
from our heads and dug us out of the
snow and set us on our feet. By the
time the reindeer had eaten themselves
Into a passable humor Amalik and
Oosllik led them back to the pulks.
We had four hours of traveling be
fore we came in sight of the corral
thnt had sent us the reindeer from
Eaton Station. As soon as the deer
scented the well-known corral they
quickened their strides, so that w.e
reached the station before it was quite
dark, and crawled from the sleds with
a deep feeling of relief, glad beyond
measure to be at homo after the perils
of our protracted Journey. St. Nicho

War taxes hnve been so arranged in
Japan that the bunion principally falls
upon the persons who ought to bear it.
Take the now Inheritance tax, for ex
ample; it will affect the wealthy class
mostly. To an outsider It would appear
as If a heavy burden had suddenly been
placed upon the shoulders of the peo
ple by these special taxes, but It Is not
so, as special provision has been made
to lighten the local taxes for municipal
expenses, and notices have been sent
all over the country to the local offi
cials to lighten their expenditure, nnd
by this reduction the average In taxa
tion is not much increased. The fol
lowing figures will explain this posi
tion: In 1904 the total of the Imperial
taxes showed an increase of 38,400,000
yen, but the prefecturnl taxes were
10,800,000, and the town nnd village
taxes 12,200,000 yen less, so thnt, com
pared with the year before, the net
Increase In taxation was only 15,000,000
yen.
The amount for imperial and local
taxes In 1904 was 27.57 yen per house
hold. This was 1.70 yen more than the
year before. Ter person. It was 4.9(1,
or an increase of thirty-two sen, com
pared with the year before. With re
gard to 1905, the Increase will be eight
yqn per house, or 1.S0 per Individual.
This, compared with the taxation of
other countries, Is very light; and then,
again, a good deal of the money col
lected In taxes gnes back to the people
who nre furnishing supplies for the
war, nnd the profits from these trans
actions help the people to meet tho in
creased taxation.
Tlie fanning class In Japan Is much
In the majority, and the rice crop of
1901 was so abnormally liuyo and the
prices of rice were so high that this
class was a great gainer, and placed
favorably for meeting taxes. Tlie peo
ple, from patriotic reasons, have met
the Increased taxes with proper spirit,
nnd respond willingly, so that the tax
returns nre much more satisfactory
than in years before the war. The
number of people proceeded against
for non-payment of taxes is much de
creased. The Increase In deposits in postal
savings banks nnd In ordinary banks
is n proof that the people are not suf
fering from over-taxation. It Is a year
since the outbreak of war, and the
amount of money raised from the peo
ple for its prosecution Is very large,
and yet Japan's commercial nnd Indus
trial position Is much stronger to-day
than before.
