By crooked I mean a face whose two sides are not mates. Really, the man whose face looks the same on the right and the left side is a rarity, and when I run | across one I set him down as a stranger in town. “I suppose this facial peculiarity is more or less prevalent everywhere, for it Is sald that the people whose faces are ex- actly alike on both sides are few; but in New York it Is undoubtedly pro- nounced. Women are afflicted as well as men, and I have met scores of women who would be very pretty were it not for that inevitable disarrangement of fea- ;ures that' characterizes one side of' the ace. s In the majority of cases it is the left side that is out of whack. Bither the mouth is screwed_up at one corner or the nose tips to one side or the -eye is drawn up into a reprehensible squint. Sometimes 1l three of these imperfec- tions are combined in one face, with a few other little contortions thrown in Actually I have met people here whose faces had so many dif- | ferent expressions, according to the point of view, that it was with difficulty that I could persuade myself that the right :{ge ‘was any blood relation to the left e. “I asked a physiclan for an explanation of this disfigurement, and he ugured me it was all due to high nervous tension. He also went on to say that if my own stay here should be prolonged much be- yond two weeks I might as well resign myself to bidding good-by to my own mo- bile expression, for a mobile expression i8 not compatible with present urban con- ditions. “To pick one’s way through crowded streets, looking seventeen ways for Sun- day at one time lest one's life be for- feited at the next step as the price of negligence is not, he explained, conducive ! to a classic cast of countenance. This is probably the cause of New 7 myriads of crooked faces, but ltyodroke: Seem a great pity that the good looks of 4,000,000 of people should be offered @p as a sacrifice on the shrine of publie im- provements.””—New York Sun. VOANDZOU, THE NEW VEGETABLE OF AFRICA French Scientist Declare That It Is Most Nutritious Food for Man. ‘Voandzou is the title of a which is now interesting s.f“;‘g:i“fifrfif pean scientists. Of these the most en- thusiastic is M. Balland. He read a paper about voandzou before the French Acad- emy of Sciences the other day, and point- ed out that this plant i{s the only one which is known to possess in ‘proper portion all the elements that are required to from a suitable nourishment for man. Vcandzou is scientifically known as Gly- cine, or Voandzou subterranea, and is a native of intertropical Africa, where it is widely cultivated by negroes. In south- ern Asia it is. also common, but it does not ‘grow much in America, except in Brazil, where it is known under the name of Mandubi d’Angola. Its nutritive por- ton" consists of large grains, or peas which are inclosed in pods like beans, and which are of a reddish color and egg zl:glpneadr.y V(blelae,;: l'tv‘:tthel}" taste very like 3 when mx: cheqltn:itu. v e n analysis made by M.

If we admit, he says, that a man re- quires each day, in order to repalr the losses undergone by his body, from 120 tc 130 grammes of azote matter, 36 grammes of fat and 500 grammes of hy- drate of carbon, we cannot help noticing the importance of the fact that these very éLengéteu a‘t“t hzg ::“tound in one kilo- 4 ns, or - vo_fix;d:ou filn;t. e e e. conclusion at which he 3 scientists have arrived is that :’;fl.e?a‘:fi: steps should be taken to cultivate voand- zou wherever the climatic conditions are such as to render its cultivation possible. Though few believe that it can be suc- cessfully grown in Europe, some experi- ments are to be made in this direction, and meanwhile the French Government, it is said, will begin to grow some in Al- geria, as it is convinced, from what sci- entists have reported, that no more ad- mirable food c«lldl; ?a found anywhere for oldiers. —_———— Ghmgc—!_h&k!n: Machines.

TACOMA, Sept. 20.—The full extent of the calamity caused by the forest fres in Clark County is just being learned. Whole families were exterminated by the fire while it raged through the most heavily timbered section of the Columbia River Valley. Some details are given by Benjamin Levy, a Dawson mine owner, who returned to-day from Clark County. He went there to investigate the condition of a plece of timber land that he owned and which was entirely destroyed. He| says the loss of timber is nothing com- ared with the human suffering and the atalities which the fire caused. Yesterday Levy assisted in burying the charred remains of a mother and two children, who could not even be identified. They were placed in one small box. An other unidentified family fell victims to the es. A father and mother were fleelng with their children when the fire overtook them. Facing each other, the parents entwined their arms, the children .creeping in between them for protection. They were burned to death as they stood thus, the parents arms still clasped pro- tectingly around their children’s remains. No one was left in that vicinity to teil the story of their destruction or even who they were. These fatalities occurred near the edge of Salachie Prairie, thirty- five miles northeast of Vancouver, Wash., w{]m'e the timber was denser than else- where. After assisting In burying seven settlers, Levy’s heart falled him and he could re- main no longer. A narrow escape was that of Henry Johnson, who barely saved his wife and six children. His twenty cows and other stock, with the buildings and fences of his fine farm, were swept away. S —————— Daughters of Liberty. Californla Councjl No. 1 of the Daugh- ters of Liberty had a very pleasant lunch basket soclal last week, which was at- tended by a large number of the members and a pumber of their friends, who spent the early part of the evening in dancing. In the latter part of the evening George Little, acting as auctioneer, disposed of many prettily decorated lunch baskets filled with good things, which had beén contributed %y lady members of the coun- cil. The contents of the baskets were then discussed, after which dancing was resumed. The committee that had charge of the affair was George Little, chairman; Minnie Sproul, secretary; Miss Lizzie Cantus, treasurer, and Ruby Hamberger and Ida Lothrop.

There’'s an old Judge down our way who swears that if he hadn’t managed to slip in that word at | the proper gme he would have expe- rienced a swift and painful finish, It was at the time of the Paris lynching; which took place not far from the Judge's place. He heard about what the mob in- tended to do, and being a law-abiding citizen and somewhat God-fearing he was horrified. “‘Oh, this is horrible, horrible,’ he said to his son. ‘I'll have to go down there and stop this. Get me a horse.’ “‘You'd better stay away from these, pop,’ the kid sald. ‘That crowd'll shoot you. *‘Oh, no; it must be stopped,’ the old man declared, and he mounted his horse and started for the place. They'd bullt a rough platform, and about 1500 Texans were standing around it ready for the ceremony when the old Judge rode up. He | spurred his horse through the mob, %umped off, tossed the bridle reins to a ystander and mounted the platform. “ ‘Fellow citizens,’ he yelled, ‘you are about to drag the fair name of our com- munity in the mud of everlasting dlu—l grace—' *‘At this juncture there was an interrup- tion from a man in front, who said: “<Just shoot the dern head off'n him.’ “A dozen guns were leveled, but the old | Jh:.ldse‘a presence of mind didn’t desert m. *‘But,’ he yelled—the pistols wavered— “4f we must take the law into our own hends, let us proceed about it in a quiet and orderly manner.’ “The mob cheered and made the old fel- low the master of ceremonigs.””—Philadel- phia North American. ——— General Butler and ¥ Pepper. “Did you ever hear the story of Gen- eral B, F.

To show how comparatively new a con= venience is the typewriter, in spite of its now almost universal use, the first per son to do practical work with such a machine has been taking the current cen- sus as chief statistician for manufastur- ers. 8. N. D. North, who was an editor in Utica, N. Y. 'in 1872, says: “I have often wished that'I had kept tHat orig- inal machine, for it would have illus- trated better than any other mechanism with which I am familiar the marvelous rapidity with which American ingenuity advances to the point of perfection say labor-saving instrument, the underlying principle of which has been worked out. This machine was heavy and cumbersome in comparison with the delicate mechan- ism of to-day, but the principle of con- struction was essentially the same, except that the carriage, instead of being re- stored to position by the hand at the end of each line as now, was brought back \ | by means of a foot pedal, and It came with a jar that made the machine tremble in every part. My machine did meither uniform nor elegant-work, but after a week or two I was enabled to accomplish all my editorial work on it, and I began to realize what an unspeakable bodn to ;u weak-eyed persons lay Nere In em- ryo."” 2 The first » American typewriter patent was issued in 1329 to William Austin Burt of Detroit, Mich., who was also the in- ventor of 'the solar compass. He Salles his writing machine a “typographer.” Like several which followed it, this’ form was too slow for practical results. About 1847 A. Ely Beach of New York patented all the essential features of the modern typewriter. Three Milwaukee men—C. Latham Sholes, Samue] W. Soule and Car- los Glidden—did much to make typewrit- ing practicable. They worked out the ma- chine which furnishes the basis for the most genertlly used commercial product of to-day. At first the typewriter was received by the public with suspicion. It seémed sub- versive of existing conditions. A coust gave the first public recognition to the merits of the machine, because a court re- porter found it convenient for.making duplicate minutes of the roceedlnx, These came under the attention of Judges, and it was not long before they expressed a preference for typewritten papers. The lawyers next tounrth use of typewriters a great help in the busi- ness offices, and the large co concerns, always ready to adopt time- saving devices when assured that are such, began to use machines in their correspondence. Thé letters sent out by them resuited in a wide advertisement of the, typewriter, which soon then came into general use. It was not until 1897 that diplomatic communications generally could be written with a machine, though the American Départment of State set the | example of using the typewriter in its domestic correspondence as early as 1895. Even now all highly ceremonious -letters and addresses have to be done by hand with pen and ink. New York ranks first and Chicago sec- ond in-the number of typewriter manufac- turing establishments. In the whole coun- try this industry now turns out a product valued at more than $6,000,000 a year, and gives employment to 5000 people. —_——— Meddle once signified “to concern one's self with.” It is so used in the scriptures, where the expressions occurs, “meddle with your own business.” m OCEAN STEAMERS.
