IN England an ingenious electrician has
adapted a small electric motor, equal to
about half-horse power, to dog cart
capable Of conveying two people This
motor, hung under the vehicle, and
operated by storage battery concealed

to the axle by a chain belt. The steering
Is done by single front wheel pivoted as
in the tricycle.. These vehicles will move
at the rate Of nine miles an hour upon a
smooth paved street or well-graded high
way, and ascend grade of one in thirty.
The storage gives power for six hours. If
so much has been accomplished it is easy
to understand how increased power can be
applied, and the electrical motor made to
take the place, largely, of horsehesh in the
dog-cart in cities and sections with level
well-kept streets. The power it is moi
likely will cost as much per week as the

Mhite MASON Ant york.

The white ants seem to have an insuper-
able objection to being seen, and invaria-
bly, work under cover To accomplish
this end they build covered roads and gal
leries, extending from their excavations
underneath the ground to the limb of the
tree which they have chosen for their
dwelling. First, very small opening is
made in the earth close beside the tree,
and the tiny head of termite energies
with pellet of earth in its mouth. This
is placed against the trunk, the head dis
appears, returns again and another pellet
is laid beside the first, made firm in its
place, and the head is gone. Again this
is repeated, and other ants soon Join in the
labor. The pellets are 80 arranged as to
form half-circle against the side of the
tree, the ants always working from within.
As each grain of earth is brought up and
added to the wall, the termite elects upon
it from its mouth sticky saliva, mean
while turning it over and over till the
whole is thoroughly covered. This acts as
mortar; without it, the wall would fall
into utter ruin almost as soon as it was be-
gun; with it it becomes practically indie
structible. The wetted grain is put upon
the wall, worked to and fro until well
fitted to its place, and then the ant turns
away to fetch another. These tunnels
often attain length of more than thirty
feet before reaching the spot where the
tree dwelling begins-S. L. Cayes in Swiss

asked the reporter, deeply interested in
recognizing his own long forgotten chest
nuts, "do you call the giraffe ?" "Voter,"
said the Snowman, for it was he. "And
why ?" Because he swallows more, in
the same time and quantity, than all the

An Excellent Butter Record

"Shadeland Boon (No. $751;" the prop
erty of Powell Bros, Springboro, Penn,
may be called the Queen of the Dairy.
She is Holstein-Friesian COW, and it is
claimed that her record from June 9th to
July 9th, inclusive Isl days., shows that
she produced 125 pounds and u ounces of
unsalted butter.
As stated to us, this butter was made
from l ,772 pounds of milk, which she gave
during that period For this remarkable
record it took only 14.09 pounds of milk
for pound of butter. The average for
the whole time was over four pounds per
day. For seven consecutive days she pro-
duced 81 pounds, 152 ounces, or an average
of 4pounds, 81 ounces per day; and dur
ing that week she gave 400} pounds OF
milk, and it took only 1851 pounds OF
milk for pound Of butter; and for four
consecutive days her milk made 8 pounds,
l ounce Of butter, and it lacked only 81
ounces per day of making pounds per
day for that time. The 19 pounds, l ounce
of butter were made from PIG pounds of
milk, which shows that it took only Ills
pounds Of milk for pound of butter
while for two days she lacked only two
ounces of butter per day Of averaging 5
pounds for each day.
Last year another COW of the Shadeland
herd is reported to have yielded 113 pounds
and ounces Of milk in single day, and
3,033 pounds in one month. 1t is stated
that her milk record stands ahead of any
other known, for COW of her age, taking
her records for each year from two to six
years old.-Pruir1e Farmer.

The FamIly NaturalI.t.

A venerable gentleman, who had made
a national reputation in branch of natu-
raj history, had lamented much that none
of his SONS or grandsons seemed to develop
taste for his own speciality. They were
bright men, and all that sort of thing, but
none of them seemed to take to those in
tesesting investigations which to the natu-
ralist are more absorbing and important
than anything else in the world, One day
not long ago, however, the old gentleman
was walking in the woods with his grand
son, breezy, irrepressible little fellow Of
six. They had gone along in silence, the
old gentleman musing, possibly upon this
very freak of heredity which deprived him
of offspring that should share his own
tastes, when snake crawled across iheil
path. The old gentleman struck at the
reptile with his stick, but the grandson
grabbed his arm impatiently.
Hold ong' the boy exclaimed, that's
valuable specimen, you old foolT

compared with the immense assemblage that
filed Third street, between and K, in the
evening and up to very late hour in the night
In fact, it was such jam of people as had
never before been seen in that street. The
street, for two-thirds of the distance between ]
and X, was packed. Various estimates made
placed the number at from 1900 to 6,GOO The
gathering was due to the announcement that
the returns, as received, would be displayed
upon an immen-e screen placed on the
REcoRD-uSIoN balcony, upon which Edward

mirably and gave disc of light twenty feet in

In the waits between the dispatches many
beautiful views were thrown upon the screen

pleasure afforded are indebted to ''Taber' of
San Francisco, J. NJ. Hutching. the Yosemite
lecturer. Rev. A. C. Herrick, Richard Dale and
W: +: Jackson, instructor at the Sacramento
School of Design. The best of feeling pre-
vailed in the vast assemblage of peo-
pie and the alternate cheering of partisans
as dispatches favored one or the other side, was
received with the utmost good humor. The
display OF dispatches ceased at 12:45 this morn
ing, the remaining crowd at that hour giving
cheers IN recognition of the effort of the RECORD
UNION to publish the dispatches in the manner
described. We will throw dispatches upon the
screen IN like manner tonight from halfpast

No Need of Getting Bald.

You are getting bald"
II know it and am doing all l can to
prevent it."
"What are you doing?"
l wash my head with soap and water
every morning and have tried dozen
kinds of restoratiyes without success"
The physician who was being consulted
motioned his patient TO chair, and after
examining his thin locks, said: "You are
drowning your hair. If you duck your
head in cold water every morning you will
duck the life out of your hair before YOU
are thirty. Soap and water do not clean
the scalp, but rot the hair. This is espe-
cially true with women's hair on account
of its being long and thick. A better way
Is to thoroughly brush and comb the hair
every day without wetting it.
In the first place, invest in long,
black comb with two grades of teeth
Rubber combs are the best. They are
easier for the scalp on account of being
more elastic than metal or horn combs. A
palmwood brush, with wild boar bristles, is
inexpensive, and for real services equals
any brush that is made Black bristles
conceal the dirt, and white ones are apt to
bleach the hair; but the natural colored
bristles, containing a mixture of gray,
brown and black, are the best
"At least Is minutes twice day should
be devoted to the hair. The toilet should
be dry wash, entirely performed with
the comb and brush. First use the comb
thoroughly, racking the scalp gently but
steadily, until the comb passes through
the hair without showing dirt or dandruf.
Wipe the comb on the towel frequently,
and clean it thoroughly after using. After
the combing, brush the hair vigorously,
and, finally, use the comb to dress it."
But l5 minutes is long time to comb
| the hair"
l know it is, but it is the only way to
keep clean, healthy scalp and get a
glossy, natural dressing on the hair. The
best way is to have watch or clock in
view, or you will get tired and stop in
eigh. or ten minutes. You cannot be too
particular in keeping the brush and comb
clean. Do not soak the brush, but wash
out the bristles occasionally, and when the
| brush gets so that it Will not reach through
to the scalp it is not fit for further use, and
should be thrown away. A person whose
hair is growing thin, and who adopts this
treatment, will not notice the benefit for
some time. The change will be gradual
and the full benefit will not be obtained in
less than three years. If the treatment is
preserved in, however, the result will be
remarkable In every case."-NeG York

FASHION NOTES.

| This Is gold and silver braid season.
The hustle is not moribund It is dead
Brick red or Venetian red shades are il
favor.
The sleeves OF all wraps are made looser
and more flowing.
Two or more fabrics are used in the COM
bination of all dressy gowns.
All fashionable dresses have long drap-
cries and very little looping of the skirts,
back or front.
The morning robe most in favor takes
the Princess form, but is made with many
notifications.
The round hat or toque, with straight
high crown, sunken in on the top, is a first
favorite this season.
The variety in styles of wraps, bonnets,
hats, gowns and materials, this fall makes
it dress-as-you-please season.
Fringes, which for some years have been
neglected as trimmings, have again been
taken into fashionable favor.
Birds wings and tails and quill feathers
are much used in millinery, but whole
birds are no longer used on hats or bon
nets.
The favorite style for the cloth gown is
the Directoire, but dressy toilets of silk,
broche, moire and plush demand the
dressier lines and fullness of the Empire
styles.
The buttons on dresses and wraps are
features this fall. A set of fine artistic
buttons costs almost as much as Jewels,
and they are gems of art in the way of
carving, enamelling, cut and faceted
metal and opaline and "cat's-eye effects
in nacre Or mother of pearl, in all tints
and shades of color
Inside waistcoats. handsomely braided,
are seen on the rew coats for little girls
wear this fall. The outside of the gar
ment may be of French frieze, King
Charles cloth, beaver, or fine chinchilla, but
the waistcoats and large revers are of velvet,
plush, or fine cloth
