COST OF A SILK KIMONO.
Cook Three Women nnil Plve Af.ert a
11 x Value on One In IOtilaTlIIe.
It took five mon and three women
it tho custom house nnd tho silk buyer
of a LoulBvllIo department storo.to fix
tho value of a kimono which arrived
at tho office of tho surveyor of customs
for appraisement, tho Times of that
city says.
It was a dainty silken thing, laven
dor In color, which lay on the table
of Cashier Thomas for two hours. Tho
garment was sent to tho custom houso
by tho postmaster at Somerset, Ky.,
who received it a few days ago through
tho mall from Japan, ilo did not send
in ho address of tho owner.
ThlB was aggravating to the young
woman oxporta called in. "I know
every woman in Somerset," ono said,
"and I'd Just like to know who Is go
ing to wear that,"
For half an hour It puzzled Surveyor
Taylor and two or three of his men
assistants' to discover . Just what tho
garmqnt was.
"It looks to mo like tho court gown
if the queen of Zanzibar," said Clay
J.llller, who measures steamboats nnd
superintends tho loading of merchan
dise at tho custom houso depot.
"Don't you know anything at all 7"
exclaimed one of tho women clerks,
pushing her way through the puzzled
group. "Why, that's a kimono,"
"What In tho thunder is a kimono?"
Inquired Deputy Sam Barber. "They
don't have that kind of thing down
In Dath County, where I came from."
Finally when the officials decided
that there was nothing dangerous
about the garment thoy started in Ax
ing tho value. It was estimated to
bo worth all tho way from $1.50 to
$1G0.' Tho kimono was Anally carried
to a department store, whore tho silk
buyer said It was worth $14.
Later the kimono was bundled into
a box nnd started back to the Somer
set postmaster with instructions ix
chargo tho owner $8.20 duty.
THE SELF-SMOKING PIPE.
An Interextltiir Kxiierlmctit That In

After Ailing a decanter about two
thirds full of water closo It by means

Through ono of these, pass a short
pipe stem, affix a cork provided with
two apertures. The apertures may be
easily formed by means of a red-hot
bclf-smoki.no 1'jpe.
poker. Tho later aperture serves to
Ax tho pipe. Finally, with tho other
cork and a bent tube, form a siphon.
After tho latter has been primed and
is onco in operation It will tend to
empty tho decanter, and tho vacuum
formed will bo Immediately Ailed by
tho external air flowing In through tho
plpo. It Is then only necessary to
light tho latter In order to seo It
"smoko Itself" tranquilly as long as
any wator remains in tho decanter.

They built nests In tho surrounding

some thirty young robins added to the

Max Bermann of Budapest has re
cently shown that the spark rays made
by the Incandescent particles thrown
off from iron and steel when put upon
an emery wheel afford a means of test
ing tho composition of the metals.
Carbon steels, manganese steel, nnd
Bteels containing tungsten and nickel,
each give a characteristic spark, of
different forms and colors, which are
easily distinguishable. The form of
the spark picture changes with the
quantity of carbon. Even so slight a
difference as .01 per cent of carbon,
Mr. Bermann says, can be detected in
this manner. Pointed branching lines
denoto carbon steel; tool steel shows
the appearance of "blossom" on the
branches; tungsten steel gives red-
streaked rays arid shining points,
"with litle balls thrown out of the
formation," and "an explosion appear
anco in tho articulation" denotes the
presence of molybdenum, vanadium or
titanium.
COW IN A PAHLOB.
It Took Possession of the Ifouao
When the Fnmlly Was Array.
The placidity ot the cow has been
a proverb for all time. That she is
?ndowed with a good bump of the
"curiosity that killed a cat" a subur
banlte learned to his sorrow one day
this summer.
Mr. Blank lives In the east end with
his family of wlfo and Ave children,
the Louisville Times says. They havo
n cow that Is a pet, having been raised
from babyhood and now furnishing all
tho lacteal Auld and by-products used
by the family.
Not bo long since, after Blank had
como In town for tho day, Mrs. Blank
took the children and went for a day's
outing to a neighboring suburb, leav
ing tho house (supposedly) carefully
closed and the cow In her stable. But
missing familiar forms and the sounds
of domestic activity, she grew lone
some nnd managed to escape the in
closure and came into the yard and
proceeded to investigate. Sho climbed
tho steps to the back porch, consumed
threo loavos of bread left by the bak
er's boy. Sho succeeded in getting the
kltchon door open, where slie devoured
all but the granitewnre part of a three
pound crock of butter.
Her nppetlte still unnppeased, she
also ato tho fancy paper off tho
shelves, and in so doing pulled down
all tho tinware and scattered It about
the floor. Sho could not work tho
combination on tho Ice-box, so moved
on through tho dining room Into tho
sitting room. Mr. Blank had the day
before purchased four new Bhlrts nt
$1.50 each, and those had been sent
home and were left In a bundlo on
tho couch. She "considered" theso, ate
all but a few fragments, and wont on
her way. She wrecked chairs, and
even a bed, and upsot the contents
of table3 by pulling at nnd eating the
covers.
When the family came back lato
that evening an nffoctlonate "moo" of
welcomo greeted them from tho cow,
her head thrust through tho parlor
window. Mr. Blank said it took ten
mon and a derrick to got tho cow out
of tho houso, and tho cost of repairing
damagos would purchase enough -milk
and butter for tho family for a year,
