Mrs. Heiva Lock wood of Washington has for some time been almost a daily visitor at the capitol, looking after some legislation in which she is inter ested. She wears a high poke bonnet, parts her hair in the middle and in many other ways suggests the carica ture of the venerable maiden supposed to represent Mistress Democracy. One day she was on the floSr of the house Just before the day's session was to begin. Mrs. Lock wood strolled down the middle aisle in front of the speaker's desk In earnest conversation with Colonel Ike Hill, the Democratic whip, when Representative Champ Clark in sonorous voice exclaimed: "IUess my soul, there comes Ike DTill and the living Mistress Democracy!" The attention of members was gen erally attracted by that exclamation. They immediately recognized Mrs. Lock wood's resemblance to the cari cature referred to. Mrs. Lock wood. however, only smiled and waved her hand coquettishly as she disappeared through the doorway under the escort of Colonel Hill Washington Post.

She cars" are as common in the Japanese speech as In our own. We say "More haste, less speed," but the Japanese phrase Is "If in a hurry go round." In this country we very often remark that "accidents will happen in the best regulated families." The Japs, on the other hand, with. an eye to tlie pictur esque, vitalize It, so to speak. In their "Even a monkey sometimes falls from a tree." One of our useful English sayings Is "Those who play with edged tools must expect to cut their fingers." In expressing a similar thought the Jap goes us one better so far as pic turesqueness Is concerned. He says. "If you keep tigers you are likely to have trouble." One of our standard maxims Is to the effect that "oil and water won't mix." The Japs have not Improved on this. You can't rivet a nail in a custard" Is their way of put ting It. "The lotus springs from the mud" Is tlieir poetical expression of the common thought that "out of evil good may come." What could be more suggestive an 1 at the same time so poetic as their "Scattering a fog with a fan?" When a Jap undertakes the impossible his neighbors do not scoff at him or mock him. They simply say that he is "building bridges to the clouds" or that he is "dipping up the ocean with a shell." Failure in such a country must be as delightful as success in our more material land.

When we are kept awake from our fatigue tlie first thing to do Is to say over and over to ourselves that we do not care whether we go to sleep or not. in order to Imbue ourselves with a healthy Indifference about It. It will help toward gaining this wholesome indifference to say: "I am too tired to sleep, and therefore the first thing for me to do is to get rested In order to prepare for sleep. When my brain Is well rested it will go to sleep; it can not help It. When it is well rested It will sleep Just as naturally as my lungs breathe or as my heart beats." Another thing to remember and it is very important Is that an overtired brain needs more than the usual nour ishment. If you have been awake for an Hour and it is three hours after your last meal take half a cup or a cup of hot milk. If you are awake for another two hours take half a cup more, and so, at intervals of about two hours, so long as you are awake throughout the night. Hot milk Is nourishing and a sedative. It Is not inconvenient to have milk bvthe side of one's bed. and a little saucepan and a spirit lamp. Leslie's Weekly. the grateful peace and beauty of his country home.

WOODEN BREAD. Addremilnf? the Queen. The divinity that doth hedge a king expresses itself In some curious ways, and to people who are not accustomed to associating with these exalted per sonages royal etiquette Is In many points very puzzling. To those who meet Queen Alexandra constantly it probably does not seem strange to ad dress her as "ma'am," but to unaccus tomed ears this monosyllable does not sound quite respectful. Yet, accordlug to the Ladles' Field, the queen is ad dressed as "ma'am" by all the mem bers of the upper classes, the term 'your majesty" being rarely used ex cept on formal occasions, while the Princess of Wales and all the princess- es of the blood royal of England are addressed In the same way. Tlie king,, the Prince of Wals and all the other English princes are addressed as "sir." Yet foreign princes and princesses bearing the title of serene highness must not be addressed as sir or ma'am, but as prince and princess. A letter to the sovereign must begin thus: "His majesty the king" and below the sin gle word, "sir." The conclusion of the letter would be worded somewhat as follows: "I have the honor to submit myself your majesty's most humble and devoted servant," etc. It In A FIiU8U OF Sl'ADKS. MAY YOUK UOXOlt."

Odd Mail Package. Half covered with postage stamps, a large cocoa nut, in all its hairy covei ing, was received through the mails at and mice. But, though the Jungles which they visit abound in defenseless animals, the wild dog does not limit ids attacks to these. The packs deliberate ly pursue and destroy both the black and Himalayan bears and the tigers, affording perhaps the only instance In which one carnivorous species deliber ately sets itself to hunt down and de stroy another. From their rarity, tlie uninhabited nature of tlie Jungles which they haunt and their habit of hunting at night- which a probable suggestion the J.ouisville poslolllce, says the (.'our- makes the basis of the early legends ier-.Iournai.

Especially Is this true where the animal has a distinctive winter coat. This change has been studied by Barrett Hamilton, a Britisli naturalist, who is of opinion that whitening of the fur generally ac companies development of fatty tissue, which Is manifestation of Insufficient oxidation and hence of atrophy, which shows itself in a whitening of the hair. In some animals-man for instance -this atrophy is manifested by baldness 'lhat fat men are often bald Is thus something more than a coincidence. A I) u ell n k Adventure.

He w is iu a bellicose humor, and he began it once to pick a quarrel with Mr. Booth Tucker. The latter said nothing to help on the quarrel, but nevertheless the German worked himself Into a frenzy. Finally he exclaimed: "One or the other of us two, sir, wllk not leave this room alive." "Stay here and die, then," said Mr. Booth-Tucker, and he arose and went out quickly, slamming the door behind him. I'oiiNllile to Make a I'alatahle Louf From Sawdust.
