POINTERS
For the Young Woman Who Wants
to Choose a Husband

Marriage may be a lottery" remarked the
clear-eyed young malron to the SUMS society
reporter, twiring plump red berry in a sugar
snowdrift, "but was lucky in having a wide
awake mamma who looked after my Int erests.
My advice is TO choose man who Is radlantly
clean and Immediately neat without a
suggestion Of dandylsm about him. I he
ideal American husband should be so ab-
sorbed in earning money to dress his wife that
he has no time to study style or detail In his own
attire. Another unfavorable symptom is too

Chiffon and alpaca or moire and muslin is risk
should hesitate to assume. Appreciation OF
the tout ensemble is all we ask, and iuQulStiye

think OF In husband.
"Then, too, there are certain deductions
to be drawn from physiognomy that deserve

men are very susceptible aud sentimental.
They are simply incapable of resisting feminine
nattery, are bOwled over by an ardent glance

ity observe all the biueeyed men OF your ac
quaintance and see II Pm not right. Or course,
l don't mean that they are devoid of sincerity
or fidelity, but II is fact that the woman who
contracts to live with pair of azure orbs has
her work cut out for her. Some people may
like that sort OF hing ana value d possession ac-
cordng TO the anxiety IL entails, but for my part
the effect is too exbilarating. Therefore, | give
preference To gray or brown eyes. Other
unpromsing features are white hands, small
feet, long lasbeS curly hair and slim waists,
and above all else avoid men with the slightest
approach to stride or a strut. Some very SUI
perior brands OF husbands have sloucny gait

FINDING THE WRITER.
Something About the Workings of
the Dead Letter Office.

A Washington special to the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat says: The rule of the Dead Letter
Office is 10 make extraordinary effort 10 return
all missent letters which are found TO contain
money. But blind obedience 10 this ule is the
basis OF an entertaining story. A boy in the
Indian school Oh the Skokomish reservation,
which is about three miles from the pOstoffice
OF Union City, State of Washington, wrote a
letter 20 his brother al Seabeck some time ago,
in nclosing in 1t small sum of money. He also
wrote on the envelope that If 1t should not be
delivered IN proper time it was 10 be returned
to the writer. His brother did not call for Ii
and it WIS returned 10 Union City. The Post
mas or there had not heard of the boy. and on
inquiry failed 10 1nd him. Accordingly he
sent the letter TO the Dead Letter Office. On
arrival here It was opened, and II had money
i'll 1t. It was returned. TO UuiOn City wiki a
long letter OF instructions TO ind the writer If
possible After inquiry the boy was at last
found and requested TO go In person. claim the
letter and receipt for IT, and the Postmaster
had TO 60 through az much red tape as If the
letter had contained $1,000. The joke becomes
evident when IL is known that the money In the
letter amounted TO only a one-cenL postage

BOSTON PIES.
One Factory at the Hub Turns Out
Fully Ten Thousand a Day.

The largest Dle factory in New England
without doubt Is located Ia Boston. Not
only is this bakery or patriotic soil, but II
occupies, iu part, an old church building. In
this factory the average is 10000 pies a day,
and the varieties are many That Iney are
maze with great rapidlty goes without saying.
The manufacture consists chiefly OF four
processes-preparing the filling, making the
crust, filling the pies and baking them. Ii
mince filling is being made the meat Is first
selected aud then cooked in a steam-jacketed
copper Kettle that will hold barrel.
IL is then chopped by machine that knows
Its business; then mixed with the apple, beet
suet, currantS, cltron, spices and brandy.
When the expert mixer gets them all mixed,
by approved rules for mixing, but never getl ing
mixed himself, this filling goes TO the filler,
who, though always engaged In filling never
gets fun. Meanwhile another set OF men have
prepared the crust. A huge trough is partly
filled with flour and lard, shortening" is
worked into 1t by fellow dressed In whlte
with hair powered and arms bare. This -four
is next changed TO doughlNe consistency by
adding water as near freezing as possible to
make 1t flaky, and mixing 1t with the hands.
When the batch Is ready 1t is taken to the
men, who roll 1t out and put il on the tin plates.
The deftness and quckness with which this Is
done throws into the suade The work of a light
ming change artist. Then the pie is filled, and
this too. IS no slow operation. A lOng-handed
tin dipper, holding just enough TO charge PIE.
Is seized in one hand by The operator aud pie
in the other. With dexterous dip into The
barrel of 1ing and twist OF the arm TO lift
and TO invert the dipper over the pie, the work
is done. Another set OF men in white put on
the covers, and then the pie goes TO the oven.
which is the marvel.
Quite likely Its like suggested the Ferris
wheel at the Worlds Fair, for that follows its
principles OF construction quite closely. Ii Is
arranged so that big wheel, at least IL feet
long and 16 in diameter. Is suspended by its

Hung from the rims OF this wheel. at equal dis

the manner OF suspension that they always re-

opening OF the oven. which opening is as large
as the wheel i self.
The attendants cover this platform with
pies, and the wheel Is turned uutll the next

turn brings into view the first lot put in, and

A WHEELBARROW FEAT.
How a London Artist Will Go From
Paris to Munich

Montague Martin, an artist from London.
who has been studying 10 Paris, decided to
spend the summer in Germany, and, wishing 10
see The landscape between Paris and Munich
and make sketches Of it on the way, hit upon
the following novel idea: lie had light wheel
barrow constructed with a box we'll forward

clothes, paintbox, an alcohol lamp aud such
dishes as he needed for simple cooking. Upon
the inside of the cover was arrange an easel

tague Martin mentioned casually TO his friends
that he was going TO Munich by wheelbarrow.
His friends came and viewed the barrow and
Martin would arrive al Munich by December,
and sent kindly wishes for merry Christmas 10
their art student colleagues in Germany. Then
Mr. Martin said he was going TO make the jour
He could do it, said his friends, il he ran all
The way. Mr.. Martin replied that he was
going 10 make au average OF TWO sketches
daily, 108 in all. And then the betting in-
stinct was awakened. Wagers were laid for
aud against, and the WheelbarrOW became
the center OF interest in the art world of
Paris. A date was fixed for the start,
which took place TWO weeks ago, and amid
the cheers OF the assembled students. Mr.
Martin set out on his quaint journey trundlng
his wheelbarrow and accompanied by crowd
of excited gamins. His friends prophesy that
when his route lies uphill-as it must for sew
eral days-the handles OF the barrow will be
very heavy and he will find 1t i'm
possible TO make the seventeen miles

confidence in Martins broad shoulders and
the perseverance of his race, and feel sure
that be will win the bets if he brilliant minded

COMPASSES Go ASTRAY.
How the Needle Deviates on the New
Iron Ships.


The new steel ships OF The navy are such
powerful magnets that compasses are rendered
practically useless unless the deviations and
effect upon them by The great masses OF steel
are carefully watched and corrected. With
the old wooden vessels little attention was paid
to changes in the compass, and there was sell
dom necessity for swinging the ship and cor
recJing them. With the new vessels, however
the compassss have been known 10 indicate
several points out of the way when the mead OF
the vessel was due north, and in some in.
stances, particularly on the New York and Co.
Iumbia the deviation has been 45 degrees.
All navigatorS sent 10 The new ships are now
schoOled as 10 the effect Of the magnet upon
compasses before assuming their duties. The
Navy Department has set aside a room in the
basement of the building fitted up with a circle,
upon which is a miniature ship and compass
aud various quantities Of steel and other mag
netic metals 10 show their effect upon the CON-
pass. This ship is swung from one point to
another, and by shifting the steel around upon
the compass the effect IS noied.
Another disastrous result Is the effect created
by targel practice with great guns. After every
such practice the c0mpasSes get so disarranged
that the needle is liable to point north when
the ship is heading northeast Swinging ship
is then ordered and the compass, brought about
again.
The compasses used In the American navy
are SAID TO be the best in the world. They have
been manufactured since 1850 by Boston
firm under the supervision of the department.
and are said To be far superior to those in the
British service, which are ahead OF those in
other navieS.-JeWeerS Review.

HEALTH NOTES.
Some Suggestions to Those Who
Take a Daily Bath.

Take Daily Bath.
Every twenty-four hours the human body
loses no small amount of heat by radiation from
the surface during persplration. But contrary
to what might seem probable at first thought,
this loss Is oftener advantageous tran other
wise.
In this way an escape pipe, so to speak, Is
provided for the human mechanism; and just
as the e-ppe OF a steam.engine is self
regulating. so, fortunately, the radiation Of
heat from the surface of tie body is under con-
troll of the nervous system.
When the fact is made apparent to the nerve
eenters that the temperature of the body is
getting 100 high, notice Is Immediately sent
along the nerves 10 open wider the bloOc
vessels al the surface of The body; with the re-
suit that the blood flows nearer the surface tHe
sweat glands are stimulated 10 Increased action,
more water is eXcreIed by them, aud with the
water goes of he hea.
Since it is by this means largely that the
superfiuous heat OF the body in health as we'll
as IN disease is got rid of, il is clearly very I'M
pOrtant, especially at this time of the year. that
the pores OF the SKIN should never be allowed
TO become clOgged.
With the increased amount of dust In the
atmosphere, and its natural propensity for ad-
herring 10 the preSplring body, The daily bath
becomes more OF necessity during the sum-
mer months than at any other time OF tile year.
One should take great care, however, that the
bodily temperature Is reduced as nearly as pos

perspiring freely, the danger of taking cold Will
be increa sed, by reason of the sudden conges-

Much of the advantage 10 be derived from
sea bathing will be lost unless The cruSts of salt
that form IN the pores of The skin on the eVap

Quent brisk toweling or fresh water spOnging.
Not only is the persplration an efficient
means of removing superhuous heat, but by
