Take a good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water and place it upon the floor
Of the room which is not exposed to
shaking or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water a
coating of l~ycopodium powder-a white
substance which is sometimes used by
ladies in making their toilet, and which
can be purchased of any druggist. Next
upon the surface of this coating of white
powder make with powdered charcoal a
straight black line, say an inch or two in
length. Having mad this little black
mark On the surface of the contents of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl a stick or some other straight
object, so that it will lie exactly parallel
with the charcoal mark If the line
happens to be parallel with a crack in
the floor or with any stationary object in
the room this win serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few
hours, and hen observe the position of
the black mark with reference to the OBJ
ject it was parallel with. 1t will be
found to have moved about, and to have
shifted its position from east to west
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth
upon its axis. The earth in simply re-
volving has carried the water and every
thing else in the bowl around with it,
but the powder upon the surface has been
left behind a little. The line will always
be found to AVE moved from east to
west, which is perfectly good proof that
everything else contained in the bowl
has moved the other way.-St. Louis

The Bank of France employs a very
large number of women as accountants
in the classification of bills, in the CLASH
ication of coupons and in the depart
ment of printing and binding. The
ladies employed in this category are
called danes titulaires, They are paid
three francs (sixty cents a day, and are
required to pass a preliminary examina-
ton in writing, spelling and arithmetic.
They must be from eighteen to thirty
five. In the printing office an appren-
ticeship of two years is required as
pamphlet sewers. These women work
in the same shop as the men, and are
paid at exactly the same rates. After
twenty years service they are retired
with a pension of 400 francs $50. Rec
concentrations from influential persons
are requisite for obtaining places in the
Bank of France. -New York Sun.

Their characteristic Compared with
Those of American Trotters.
There are hundreds of horses called
Arab in America which rave no right to
the name. Almost every spotted horse
or calico" horse is said to be more or
less Arab, while it is stated as a positive
fact by nc less IN authority than John
H. Wallace that al Arab may be of any
color in the world but spotted. No Arab
is a calico in color. 1t is an exceedingly
difficult thing to get a pure bred Arab.
The Bedouin chief will not sell one at
any price, and the only ones procured
are secured by raids on the tribes of the
Euphrates valley.
In the whole United States there ara
only three strictly pure bred Arabian
horses. Two Of these are the stations
Leopard and Linden Tree, which were
presented to General Grant by the sui
tan of Turkey, and a mare called Naomi,
which has been imported from England.
OF the two Grant stations Leopard is
not at all a prepotent horse and is a get
ter of few foals, and Linden Tree is tn,
possessor of one of the ugliest tempers OF
any living horse. He is said to be a fiend
incarnate, though his colts are gentle
and kind enough when properly treated.
1t is a popularity of the Arabs that if
used kindly and treated with considera-
ton they are gentle and lovable.
ITO one that has gained the confidence
of an Arab horse there is the pleasure of
knowing that he associates with a brute
endowed with a soul" Abuse one of
them, and you have aroused a devil that
can never be subdued, for of their cour-
age there is no limit, and they will re-
sist abuse while they have life. General
Grant's stalli on Linden Tree is said to
have been made vicious because the man
in charge of him did not gain his conf
dence and abused him.
There is a great deal of foolish senti-
ment existing about the Arab horse,
however. He has many good qualities,
is highly intelligent, quick to learn, has
rare beauty Of form and rich quality, is
for saddle purposes beautifully gated,
quick and active in his movements, and
of much endurance; but when compared
with the thoroughbred race horse or the
American trotter he suffers much by the
comparison.
He lacks the size and speed of the
thoroughbred, and what a spectacle a
AAauh - "a Jay -Lge-Dtet u a
Nelson would make of the greatest trot-
ting Arab that ever lived could they meet
on a trotting truck!
As a race they are handsomer than the
American trotters, many of which have
inherited Roman heads and cat hams
from the great p%rogenitor, Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. If it could be done with
out n loss of size and speed, for the pur-
pose of giving beauty and finish to the
American %trotter, it might be well to
add more of the Arab blood to the COM
posite article which goes to make up the
American %trotter, but the experiment
has been tried and not found successful.
No Arab known to civilized man is SO
handsome as Manbrino King.-Boston

Before dealing with the many proc
esses now in the field for the cheap pro-
duction Of aluminium, we may briefly
glance at the properties and special char
acteristics of the metal under considera-
ton. Aluminium has a white silver like
appearance, is both malleable and ductile.
and from its properties is much
used in the manufacture of bells. An
exceedingly important feature is its
lightness, a property which favors its
employment for many special purposes.
Aluminium has a specific gravity of only
2.56-that is, is two and a half times as
heavy as water, and is four times lighter
than silver.
Heat and electricity are conducted by
aluminium as well as by silver, while il
does not oxidize in air even at red heat,
has no action on water at ordinary TEN.

The salon OF Mime. Recamier was
not in any sense philosophical or polit-
ical, but after the cruel persecution OF
La Harpe, the Punishment of Mime. de
Stael, and the similar misfcrtunes of
other friends, her sympathies were too
strong for her diplomacy, and it grad
ually fell into the ranks of the opposi-
ton 1t was well known that the en-
peror regarded all who went there as his
enemies, and this young and innocent
woman was destined TO feel the full bit
terness OF his petty displeasure.
We cannot trace mere the incidents OF
her varied career, the misfortunes of the
father TO whom she was a ministerine
angel, the loss of her husbands fortune
and her own, the years of wandering
and exile, the second period of brief and
Elusive prosperity, and the swift reverses
which led to her final retreat She was
at the height of her fame in the early
days of the Restoration, when her salon
revived its old brilliancy, and was a
center in which all parties met on neutral
ground Her intimate relations with
those in power gave it a strong political
influence, but this was never a marked
feature, as it was mainly personal
But the position in which one is most
inclined to recall Mime. Recamier is in
the convent Of Abbaye-aux-Bois, where,
Invested of fortune and living in the
simplest manner, she preservedfor nearly
thirty years the fading traditions of the
old salons. Through all the changes
which tried her fortitude and revealed
the latent heroism of her character, she
seems to have kept her sweet serenity
unbroken, bending to the passing storms
with the grace of a facile nature, but
never murmuring at the inevitable. One
may find in this iniexible strength and
g%entleness of temper a clew to the subtle
fascination which held the devoted
friendship of SO many gifted men and
wemen long after the fresh charm of
youth was gone.-Amelia Gere Mason

MISS MARY
ton that the women Of the United States
should themselves raise two hundred
thousand. Her power of organization
was largely instrumental in accomplish
ing this end. This is the second GIFT of
n hundred thousand given by Miss
Garrett to that institution.
As the daughter Of one of the greatest
business men this country has ever pro
duced Mary Garrett has honored her
birthright, and in her position Of one Of
the richest women. in this country she
honors her wealth by devoting her life to
charitable work, as she has done almost
exclusively for the past few years, though
few Of her charities are known, and she
nevolence on her part.
Like the majority Of rich people who
are known to be Of a charitable nature,
she has a enormous daily mail begging
for money or calling her attention to
some cause that needs assistance. 1t is
said OF her that while she is not prone
to turn a deaf ear to want, she is still
strongly opposed to giving indiscrimi-
nAtely, and closely examines every call
on her bounty.
Miss Garrett Is not a society woman
in any sense Of the word, and 1t is only
when called upon by her townspeople to
take the lead that she opens her beauti-
full home in the conventional society
manner Such occasions are always in
honor of some celebrated person TO whom
Baltimore society should make a demon
stration Of respect.
Miss Garrett visits Europe every year.
and spends most Of her time on the
other side OF the water. She owns a
controlling interest in the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and since the death OF
her brother, Harrison, who was drowned
while sailing four years ago, she has also
looked after the Garrett stock belonging
to his widow and children.
Miss Garrett has a n~oticeably strong
face-not handsome, but better than
handsome. She bears a strong resem-
blance to her father about the mouth,
which expresses great frmness and
strength of character.
The stories 80 long rife about her be-
ing disappointed in love in her youth are

Ion of her father, she took q strong In

One can readily imagine, Judging from

characters OF her own making, for she
has a rarely youthful expression which
strangely c~ontradicts the crowno of white

the pleasant smile that constantly plays
about her mouth. In the drawing room

KAwoah Women CoIonists-"sIandsrous
Habits Of the Outside World"
The ladies of the Kaweah co-opera-
tive colony in Tulare county, Cal, have
issued a circular 10 the public in regard
to certain statements made about them.
They do not weep themselves to sleep
every other night, they say. Moreover,
their lives are as happy and free from
care as a womau's life can be. They
live with their families and friends near
to the heart Of beautiful nature, have
rel luxury in the way Of food and do
not toll half as YEARLY as the worlds
women do. One of the lying reports
about Kaweah declared that fifteen chill
dren died last year there for want Of
nourishment. As a matter of fact, says
the women circular, only four persons
died in the colony last year-three grown
persons and one child. Two of the
grown people were fatally afflicted with
consumption before they went to Ka-
weah, and knew it, going there, as they
themselves expressed it., to end their
days. The other grown person was a
woman advanced in years. Harmony,
health and plenty to eat prevail at Ka-
weah, the ladies' say. Finally, if the
persons who illuminated them had re-
manned with them longer the Kaweah
women are of opinion that in time these
persons might have outgrown "the SLAM
derous habits of the outside world"
Miss Virginia Penny, who is informed
Of what she states, says it is not true
that General Spinner was the first to en-
ploy women in the government service.
They worked in the United States mint
at Philadelphia as far back as 1850,
twelve years before General Spinner
took them into the service as clerks at
Washington.
l have lately seen a newspaper page
devoted to portraits and sketches Of sue.
cessful American playwrights. There
was among them not one woman. Can
not women write plays? They can write

Probably cunv%entionality has chilled and
stunted the dramatic constructive fac

The forty water color drawings fOi
the work The Able C~onstantin," by
"Ludoyic Halevy," which were exhibit
ed in New York city and in Chicago,
have made the name of Madeline L.
maire very well known in this country.
The artists full name is Mime. Jeanne
Madeline Lemaire. Before marriage
she was Madeline Coll, born in the south
Of France, at st. Rossoline, near Cannes.
Her aunt, Mime. Herbelin, an eminent
painter of miniatures, brought her up,
and so Madeline from her earliest years
lived in an art atmosphere. An artist
born. it may be she was fortunate in be
ing so early associated with artists. But
under any circumstances her powerful
artistic instinct could only have been de-
layed, not suppressed.
At a very tender age Madeline began
TO draw, and those having her in charge
were most careful not to neglect these
signs Of unusual talent. At the age Of
nine she was sent to a drawing school,
and later to the studio of NJ. Chaplin,
where she remained four years.
In 1885 she was fifteen years of age,
and she exhibited her first picture at the
Salon. portrait in oil of her grand
father. The judges fully recognized the
talent displayed by this picture, but the
extreme youth of the artist prevented
them from giving her a prize. After
this she became almost n regular exhib-
