Tho Creole.

A creole, strictly speaking, is any
person born in this country or the
West Indies of European ancestors:
also any person born in or near the
tropics, and this is the sense in which
the word is usually employed. The use
of the word, however, has been by
some restricted first to children of for
eign parents born in Louisiana, and,
second, to children of Spanish or
French parents born in Louisiana, and
then in the North the word has been
perverted so that it is believed to i'm
ply some strain Of negro blood in a
person to whom it is applied. 1t does
not imply anything Of the sort.-New

A Coal Dust Engine,

A new motive power has been patented
in Germany, the source of which is Goa
dust. The invention is based on the fact
that the finely divided carbonaceous mat
ter floating in the air readily explodes, and
to adapt this phenomenon to the genera
ton of motive power the inventor proposes
to grind coal to an impalpable powder and
afteri Introducing the dust floating in the
air into the cylinder of an engine explode
it on the same lines as gas is used in engine
practice. The first apparent difficulty, that
of disposing of the ash, is not, according to
the inventor, a serious obstacle.
The advantages that would accrue from
a direct utilization of mineral fuel as mined
are obvious. While modern practice CON
yerts only 10 to 10 per cent of the heat en-
ergy stored in coal into power at the crank
shaft of steam engine, it is claimed that
no less than 70 to so per cent could be made
available by the direct combustion of fuel
through explosion of coal dust.-New
York Telegram.

Voting on Principle.

There are in the world at this epoch
vast number of men who have no othe
thought, with regard to their political pc
sition, than to oppose and destroy some
thing. There is a familiar story of an i'm
migrant who landed in New York, ant
hearing there was an election in progress
Immediately expressed wish to go ant
vote.
But what are your politics." he wa.
asked.
II don't know" said he, "but have you 6
government in this country?"
1--WE have"
"Then Pm agin itp'
This anecdote is recalled by the account
of dialogue between two workmen in
Paris, pending an electoral campaign.
"Whom shall you vote for in your dis.
trict?" one asked the other.
II don't exactly know. You see, there
are two candidates in our district, and"-
what parties do they belong tor"
well, you see, there's the trouble. l

two candidates, and it seems that they're
Antagonists-bot of them"

Women In Persia.

1t has so long been our natural boast
that, although still denied the ballot, no
where do women enjoy such freedom, that
it may surprise some persons to know that
Persian women boast that in their country
men do the work and women enjoy the re-
suits. TheNat least have far more freedom
than is generally supposed by their Ameri.
can sisters. The requirements of Persian
household are comparatively few-fruits
and salads form large proportion of the
diet; the warm climate dispenses with
many articles necessary in America and
the rare changes in fashion save an incredi-
BILE amount of labor. In the auderoom-or
woman's part of the house-girls are taught
to read, to sew and to play the either, and
as they marry at - or 10 their parents are
early relieved of all care for their future.

A Much Needed Invention.

The man who invents method of Join
ing the leather of machinery belts so that
it will be as strong at the point of union as
elsewhere has an enormous fortune in wait
ing for him. A machine belt 3-16 of al
inch thick will sustain 675 pounds of weight
per inch of width. AT the spices, after the
belt has been fastened with rivets, this is
reduced to $50 pounds. Lacing reduces il
still further to 200 pounds, while a safe
working tension is only about so pounds
per inch. If the belts could be made solid
and as strong at the joints as elsewhere
the working tension might be largely in
creased.-Detroit Free Press.

A Word to Sneerers.

Now and then some editor arises to
sheer at ''the so called woman's con-
gress," but all the same the women are
here to stay. When the college doors
went wide open to women, a reform was
inaugurated that will not go backward.
The sneerers at woman and woman's
work should get on back seats as soon as
they conveniently can.-Chicago Inter

AS airy as the breeze.
She leans and fingers over them.

Her wooers, every one.
Whene'er they see her radiant face
They seem to sue some glance of grace
AS sunhowers sue the sun.

A Redundant Echo.

AT Roseneath in Argylshire there is ar
echo which repeats eight or ten notes from
a trumpet, but in much lower tone than
the original, Then, after a momentary 81
lence, the notes are again repeated, but still
weaker, and strange to relate, after another
short interval of silence, they are repeated
for the third time in tone so faint as to
be scarcely audible.-St. Louis Republic.
