With the near approach of the holi
days it is not too early for persons to
bear in mind the fact that it would
be well to do their shopping early.
This not only helps the salespeople
but it is very beneficial to the shop
pers themselves who are enabled to
make their selections before assort
ments are broken also permitting
them to have more time for inspecting
gifts prior to making purchases.
The Christmas season is always
marked by an extra effort and toll on
the 1art of those working in stores.
To attend properly to the wants of
their patrons they are very often
obliged to work late at night catering
to the wishes of belated shoppers and
arranging the various articles which
they handle for the trade expected on
the following day.
So many persons are prone to de-
ay and continue their shopping dur
ing the holiday period until the last
possible moment that a reminder now
and then is needed to awaken them
to the fact that those who serve them
are not shown the proper considera
tion.. Christmas time more than at
any other season during the year the
worries and troubles of salespeople
are Increased a hundred fold. They
are expected to sell goods humor the
whims and fancies of Impatient and
often unreasonable customers no mat
ter how unreasonable or fatigned- they
may be.

Hairs and Feathers.
Hairs are found on almost every-
thing that grows and if we may so
call the fine fibers of nsbestus they
even Invade the mineral world. From
a piece of mineral nsbestus quarried
from the earth and looking like a Btone
with a satiny fracture the silken fibers
can be rubbed with the finger till the
lump Is worn away.
Secure a feather somewhere it will
bo much better than a picture and
you will see thnt it has a main stem
or midrib. Along each side of this ex-
' tends the thin part known as the vane.
Look closely and you will see that this
. vane Is composed of tiny feathers call-
led beards fastened together through-
out their whole length from where
I their bases jolii the midrib to their
: tips. You can easily separate one of
; these from the rest when you will see
' how like a tiny feather It is with what
Bcems a fine fnzzlnvsa along each edge.

EIGHT YEAR OLD GIKL TO
PREACH SEHIES OF SEKMNOS
Spokane Wash. Nov. 25. Fay Mc
Donald the eight years old expounder
of the doctrines of a sect which claims
to be re-enacting the deeds of the
apostles and daughter of William Mc
Donald formerly judge of the Whit
man county superior court was ar
rested in Life Line mission ns a de
linquent juvenile and sent home by
Judge J. D. Hinkle of -the Spokane
county snperlor court. It was dis
closed at the hearing thnt the child
had never seen the Inside of a school
room and that her sole Instruction
was in the teachings of the Apostllc
faith. Judge McDonald said he had
arranged to have her preach a series
of sermons but the court forbade her
to speak there or at any other gather-
ings. The mission people say the
child is divinely Inspired and that
her preaching has won many con-
i no Cure.
lie talked too nuKh far too much.
Already he had driven his taciturn
companion nearly wild. lie had touch-
ed on subjects Innumerable discours-
ed with volubility on anything and
evervthlng. Onward went the unend-
I lng stream of speech. And all tho
while the voluble one danced about
and fidgeted nnd squirmed until tho
other was well nigh beside himself
with disgust.
Finally the walking dictionary took
from bis pocket a cigarette.
"Yes I'm a great smoker great smok-
er. I'm one of those nervous men
you know; one of those high strung
restless follows who always must have
something In their mouth. Yes you
sec I'm so nervous- as I said that I
simply must yes. must have some-
thing all the time In my mouth."
'Try a gag!" suggested his com-
panion. New York Times.
PLUG HATS OF JAPAM.
Cherished Tilc3 of tho Vintage of Fifty
Years Ago.
"There Is one night 'which you must
not miss when you go to Tokyo" said
the seasoned traveler to a New York
Sun reporter. "That is the rare .dlB-
play of anthropological plug hats.
"Some people arrange to get to Japan
In cherry blossom season and others
want to get there In time to receive an
invitation to the emperor's garden par-
ty In chrysanthemum time but take
tho tip of one who has batted about
the world considerably and land In
Tokyo either on New Year's day or on
the emperor's birthday. On both you
can see something unique in. the lines
of headgear.
"When Japan began to get civilized
ishe bought all the accessories of civ-
ilization that England did not want
any mora England iold her old fash
ioned out of date narrow gauge rail-
road stock antiquated tram cars and
other secondhand Junk including tho
then current styles of plug haL
"The tile of those days has remain
ed the ruling fashion In Japan up to
the present Japan may build Dread
noughts but the plug hat of fifty
years aso still reigns supreme.
"Only on such ceremonious occasions
as the New Year's festivities the em
peror's birthday or possibly the racing
meets at Neglshl near Yokohamn does
the Japanese gentleman bring forth
from his camphor wood chest his plug
hat a heritage from his forefathers.
It may be warped with twenty sum-
mers damp oY green with the shlue of
antiquity but that matters nothing.
"Once this superstructure of his
wrinkled frock coat and bngged. trou
sers Is. added the Japanese gentleman
feels that no dignity short of a decora-
tion of the Order f the Rising Sun
can be added to his person. That
crowning glory of a .plug hat may set-
tle around his ears or It may perch
upon his head like "half a peanut ahell
but no matter. It Is the hat of civiliza-
tion and the .badge of respectability
"lie trots out of his house looking
like one of the ancient daimlos stiff
with the dignity of two swords. All
that fearful day he wears this hat of
ancient vintage like a crown and In
the end he stow It away in bis damp-
proof chest awaiting another festal
occasion or held as an asset in his es-
tate after death."
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.
Is tho Habit a Legacy From the Old
Sun Worshipers?
The halfback about to be tackled
stopped then darted In a long curve
toward the right. He was soon down-
ed. "The other side knew he would turn
from left to right" said a veteran.
"We all turn from left to right. To
turn from right to left seems wrong.
seems like reversing. We wind a
watch from left to right we turn a
screw so and so we write and so W
read.
"It all comes down to us from dw
historic times from the sun worship
ers. The sun moves from left to rights
and Its worshipers believed tnat an.
human actions must proceed accord
ingly. Well they still do so.
"Churninir is done as the sun movea
and there's a superstition that one re-'
verse turn of the handle will spoil the
butter.
"Cooks stir batter from left to right!
A roversal. they say would make the;
batter coarse and heavy.
"Shut your eyes and turn thrice.
Don't you naturally instinctively turn
from left to right?
"Whalers nut back again If the
shin's first movement at the beginning:
of the voyage is not from left to right
"In a subconscious way you see'
Bun worship is still the religion of
man." Exchange.
The Division of Time.
The division of time into hours was
practiced among the Babylonlaus from
remote antiquity but it was lllppar
chus the philosopher who introduced
the Babylonian hour into Europe. The
sexagesimal system of notation was
chosen by that ancient people because
there is no number having so many dl
visions as sixty. The Babylonians dl
vided the daily journey of the sun the
ruler of the day. Into twenty-four para-
sangs. Each parasang. or hour was
subdivided into sixty minutes nnd that
again into sixty seconds. They com
pared tho progress made by the sun
during one hour at the time of the
equinox to the progress made by a
good walker in the- same period of
time both covering one parasang and
the course of ithe sun during the full
equinoctial dfiy was fixed at twenty
four pnrasungs.
THE CANNON ROARED.
How an Ovation by a Youthful De-t
mosthenes Was Spoiled.
While campaigning in his home state
Sneaker Cannon was once Inveigled
into visiting the public schools of a
town where he was billed to speak.
In one of the lower grades an ambi-
tious teacher called upon a youthful'
Demosthenes to entertain the distin-
guished visitor with an exhibition of
amateur oratory. The selection at-
tempted was Byron's "Battle of Wa-
terloo" and just as the boy reached
the end of the first paragraph Speaker
Cannon suddenly gave vent to a vio-
lent sneeze.
"But hush hark" declaimed the
youngster "a deep sound strikes like
a rising knell! Did ye hear it?"
The visitors smiled and a moment
later the second sneeze which th
speaker was vainly trying to hold back
came with Increased violence.
"But. hark!" (bawled tho boy) "that
heavy sound breaks In once more.
And nearer clearer deadlier than beforef
Ann! Arm! It Is the cannon's opening
roar!"
This was too much and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled to
a roar when Uncle Joe chuckled: "Putt
up your weapons children. I won't'
shoot any more." Success Magazine.
The Go 4 Old Days.
The richest man In King Charles
IL'i England could not get so good
a dinner as tens of thousands will sit
down to today. Cattle were of a far
poorer breed vegetables were few and
bad aid the commonest conveniences
of the table were unknown. Fish
knives for Instance are hardly con-
sidered an extravagant luxury but Mr.
Gladstone could remember when they
were not to be found on any table.

MEAT IN ITALY.
The Way the Slaughter Houtes Are
Operated by Law.
Slaughter houses In Italy are public
Institutions. The law prescribes -that
every town of more than 0000 Inhab-
itants shall build and maintain a mu-
nicipal slaughter house where nil
butcbors are compelled to bring their
live stock to be killed. The slaughter-
ing Itself is done hy tho individual
butchers nnd their assistants. The
conveyance of tho -cattle the removal
of the carcasses and the dressing of
the meat are likewise the affair of tho
butchers. The city provides the build-
ing keeps It clean and furnishes vet-
erinary Inspectors to exnmlno and
pass upon the carcasses. t
The Milan slnughter house is situ-
ated within the city and occupies sev-
eral acres of ground. It consists of n
number of long single story buildings
made of cement and stucco. The build-
ings consist of e'lthcr a single large
hall or else a row of small box Btnlls
about twenty-five feet wide nnd cither
fifteen or thirty feet deep. Each stall
has a wide double door In front and a
window behind. The buildings nro ar-
ranged In parallel pairs each pair
being connected by a covered passago
thirty feet wide whose roof Is raised
many feet above that of the buildings
being supported by pillars rising- from
the roofs on cither side. Tho air thus
circulates unir the roofs of the pas-
sages or corridors and over the buDd-
