A GIRL DRUMM En-.
She Is Very Lady-Li;<-, But Won't Stand
Being Snubbed.

A trim little woman skipped lightly
from the steps of a Baltimore & Ohio
passenger coach at the Chestnut street
station the other night. Walking ahead
of her were Senator Thomas V. Cooper
and wife, who came in the same car
from Washington. There was some
thing about the female that would at
tract the second glance rs she hurried
off in her neat fitting, long plush coat,
showing just the lower plaits of styl-
ish travelling dress, and Il jaunty bit of
a brown velvet bonnet bobbing with her
head, as lively as the convenient grip
sack ratified which she carried in her
hand.
That's travelling saleslady," re-
marked a train hand. ''Yes, she's a.
regular female drummer. She travels
on the road regularly, and makes her
self quite at home in the car. She's not
over eighteen years old. though if you
heard her talk you'd think she was
twenty or more. She's as bright as
dollar. and very pleasant and ready
talker. she lives in Pittsburgh. travels
for a millinery house, and is very pOpu-
lar with her customers"
In all her travelling alone between
Pittsburgh. Philadelphia. Baltimore
and Washington she is said to have
suffered no annoyance or insult
Though quite free to make and pick
acquaintance with fellow passengers of
her own sex. she carries herself with
lsdylike dignity. and yet her manner
might seem t.ifle familiar to strang-
ers unacquainted with the fact that she
virtually makes her home in the cars.
1t would be hard to tell just how many
newcomers on the line have had their
Journey shortened by the pleasure of
her company. 1t is said that her bright
and interesting chat has touched
sparks of friendship in the bosoms Of
many fair travellers whom she has met.
Mrs. Senator Cooper and she parted
great friends. An incident which
shows her composure occurred on her

THE GOOSE BONE,
How to Find Out the Changes of the
Weather by Its Aid.

Weather by Its Aid.
The best reading of the goose-bone is
obtained before it becomes thoroughly
cold after being removed from the pot
and scraped. If the bone is Left to stand
the marks becomes dim and uncertain
and the reading is very unsatisfactory.
Having your bone prepared the best
way to study it is to 60 into a dark
room and hold it before bright light.
The bone is translucent, and held be-
fore strong light the marks upon it
may be plainly discerned. The marks
upon the keel of the bone are the ones
that are of significance. The other dis
celebrations on the bone are merely or
roborative. The most distinguishing
marks are in the shape Of carrots, breves.
dots and semicircles, and it is their pO-
sitiou on the bone and the direction in
which they are turned that gives the
general Indication of the weather.
If majority of the caret-shaped
marks point upward. it will be clear
and cold; but if they point down it will
he gloomy, falling weather, with more or
less snow. The small breve marks and
the semi-circles, as well as the dots and
the scratch-like marks on the bone. in
dictate the temperature, and the heavier
and darker they are the colder will DC
the weather. If they are light, or but
few of them on the bone, the winter
will be open and pleasant. If the
marks near the beginning of the bone
point out, it indicates that there will be
stormy. disagreeable weather during
November; pointing out 1T the other
end of the bone. they indicate bad
weather for March. The ridge rum
ming along near the middle of the
keel of the bone is indicative Of the
length and severity of the winter; if
the ridge extends. uninterrupted. the
length of the bone, and Is dark and
heavy. the winter will be a severe one;
but if the ridge grows weak and indis-
,inct at places, for that part of The
winter the weather will be warm and
thawing.
All these features must be closely
studied. first separately. and then to-
gether. Any one, by closely studying
this bone. can correctly predict the
general character of the weather dur
ing the three months: but it takes time.
study and experience to divide the bone
into days. 50 as 10 locate the date Of
the different changes. In Kentucky
many of the best readers of the bone
do not worry about reducing tho
prophecy to days. but are content with
learning the general character OF the
winter, and this information is of greaE
value to farmers when they find ii such
that they can depend upon it--LoHis-

Where Cork Comes From.

All the corkwood of commerce comes
from the Spanish peninsula. where the
trees abound not only in cultivated
forests, but also grow wild on the
mountains. The tree is like the Ameri--
can oak, with leaves similar to the OAK
and acorns. 1t takes ten years for the
bark to become proper thickness TO"
be manufactured into bottle stoppers,~
life preservers and seine corks. When
stripped from the trees it is to be boiled
for two hours, cured in the sun for a
week and pressed into fat pieces for
baling and shipping. The denudedA
trunk. like hen robbed of her eggs,
does not sulk and quit the business,
but throws out fresh covering for a

Aluminium Dental Plates.

The early use of aluminium was not
satisfactory, as the metal was impure.
owing to the presence of iron. and it
soon succumbed to the fluids of the
mouth. This was more generally true
of cast plates, which were not only more
difficult to make, but were not as good.
The metal is not very easy to cast. as
it does not flow freely like other met
ais, and the contraction is considera-
bic. causing cracked blocks. When
made from rolled plate and pure metal,
aluminium for upper cases has proved
very satisfactory in my hands. and
not being very expensive. is a recon-
mendation, rs it is metal, and is thus
better than rubber and less in cost than
gold. 1t is very light and strong, per-

healthy to the gums as gold or platina.
