WHY CLOTHES WEAR OUT. I
Littl* Ball* of Fluff Found Around tho '
Houm Give tho Answer.
The mlcroacope has answered that l
lung puzzling question of why clothes i
wear out By tbe aid of this Instru
ment that uncovers mysteries of the
world bidden to the nnnided human
eye. It is revealed that when cloth is t
banuled some filers are rubbed off. |
which in time become visible and ob
jectlonable. Tbe formation of this fluff
Is not unlike tbe growth of snowballs
that beys rol. Under the microscope, j
especially with reflected light, these !
balls of fluff are wonderfully l>cautiful.
gleaming with a briili :ucy that cannot
be cnptured by a photograph.
“We sjieak. und speak correctly, of.
•wearing a suit of clothes" when we
have in mind only the use of the !
clothes,” a scientific writer explains. ]
“but the gnrmcnts are literally worn
away. We might also 8{>enk of ‘wear- i
lng’ bedclothes, because the fibers of j
the bed linen are worn away In much
the same manner as a carpenter wears ■
away the surface of wood when he i
sandpapers It
“Drafts and other air currents waft I
these fibers to and fro until they !
collect In small clustera of fluff. The |
•bits and cantles' that have begun to j
attract others to them gather more ,
and more until a large proportion of |
the aerial flotsam has been transform- j
ed into what the housekeeper calls |
‘little rolls of dust’ that she finds under i
the bed and In tbe corners. These are !
fibers that friction has removed from j
the bed* linen and from one's clothing.’' j

SAVED HIS OWN FACE.
Why Ha Balked at Gfcing a Witnaas on
tha 8ida of Truth.
Colonel E. M. House—“Silent” House,
as he Is often called—told at a dinner
In Washington a significant parable:
"They who expect the men In author
ity to do a great deal for them—they
who expect the Impossible—should re
member the grizzly bear story.
"A famous grizzly bear hunter gave a
dinner, and one of the guests told of a
bear bunt that he had once shared In
with bis host It had been a remark
able hunt. The bear bad been killed
under almost incredible difficulties
Although his auditors looked skeptical,
the narrator did not spare them uny of
those difficulties. He counted on the
host, you see, for corroboration.
“Then, when he bad finished his
strange but perfectly true tale, he said:
“ There, that's the story, and, gen
tlemen, our host will corroborate every
word 1 say.’
“ ‘No. George,’ he said, ’I don't re
member anything of the sort at all.’
‘Tableau!
“Maddened by this tableau, the guest
at the end of the dinner took his host
aside and hissed:
“ ‘Why didn’t you back me up In that
bear story? You know every word of
It was true.'
“ ‘Yes,’ said the famous hunter—’yes.
it was a)l true, but 1 saw that every
body round the table thought you were
lying. If. then, I had supiwrted you
the only result would have been that
they would have set me down for a
liar too ’"—Washington Star.
Looming Mirages.
In what are called “looming mi
rages" distant objects show an appar
ent extravagant increase in height
without alteration of breadth. Distant
pinnacles of ice are thus magnified
into Immense towers or tall, jagged
mountains, and a ship thus reflected
from far out at sea may appear to be
twelve or fifteen times as tall as it is
long. Kocks and trees are also shown
in abnormal shapes and positions,
while houses, animal and human be
ings appear in like exaggerated shapes,
before the sandy plains of our south
western states and territories were
converted iiito verdant fields by the
ingenuity and tireless energy of man
mirages were very common in those
regions, the Indians regarding the phe
nomenon as being the work of evil
spirits.
A Russian National Dish.
One of the national dishes of Rus
sia is known as the pashka. It is a
sort of cake that stands one and a half
feet high and is always put on a tall
base. It is usually surmounted by a
sugar cross and Is placed in the center
of the table when the Russians hold
their great feast at Easter when the
fast is broken It takes about sixty
eggs to make the pashka, but none but
natives can succeed in producing the
rare taste.
Comprehensive.
“I understand you have bought a set
of Shakespeare's works."
"Yes." replied Mr. Dubwaite loftily,
"a complete set."
“And a glossary, too. I presume?”
“Oh, yes. yes! In fact, everything
Shakespeare wrote." — Birmingham
