The Strain ON The sio,o-,,,..

Did you ever notice that some peopae-
mostly men and boys-take sort of In
terest in crossing in front of a street car
so as to miss being struck by the guard as
narrowly as possibles If you haven't. the
Buffalo Express thinks that you'll be sur
prised at the extent of the prevalence Of
this pastime. That is really what it
amounts to. If one of those people can
get across in front Of car which is almost
upon him without accelerating his speed,
his mission on earth seems to him appar-
emily TO have been accomplished. If these
people only knew the anxiety this prac-
tice causes some motormen-fQr some of
them are conscientious despite the popular
tradition to the contrary-and if they
have any of the milk of human kindness
in them, they would deny themselves the
pleasure they seem to find in it, While
they themselves have perfect confidence in
their ability to gauge the relative speed of
themselves and the car and TO cross lust
in time, " yet the motorman is kept on
pins and needles with fears of such posi-
bilities as the adventurer's stumbling,
falling in faint or dropping dead on the
track, to be instantly mutilated by the
car with the probability of the motorman
being blamed for it.

Pin Money.

A curious custom that once prevailed in
the south more widely than III the north
was that of giving the woman whom ono
invited for u drive or outing Il small sum
with which to buy flowers, fruit or con
fectioncry to enhance the pleasure of the
event. This money, which probably varied
with tho fortunes of the gallant, was
called pin money" y writer in Good
Housekeeping tells of q young married
woman, now II grandmother, Who oncoun-
tered the custom many years ago in sara
toga, when that place was still the resort
of good southern families. She had been
invited to drive with stately old school
southern gentleman and his daughter, and
after she had accepted the invitation to
her surprise the father opened his hand
some purse and gave her silver dollar.
Puzzled at so queer proceeding, she called
up an elderly woman who was q social
authority, who explained to her that it
was pin money" and it was decided to
invest it in bunch of roses to carry in
tho hand while driving.

An Army OF Little Insects Build Bridge
to Get at Pie.
The following story, told by an eyewit-
ness, Is entitled to a place among the in.
stances of Intelligence among the lower
animals. cook was annoyed to find his
pastry shelves attacked by ants. BY care
ful watching 1t was discovered that they
came out twice a day in search of food, at
about in the morning and in the after
noon. How were the pies to be protected
against the invaders?
He made his preparations and did not
have long to wait, for at $50 O'Clock he
noticed that off in the left hand corner of
the pantry was a line of ants slowly max
ing their way in the direction of the pies
They seemed like vast army coming
forth to attack an enemy, In front was
leader who was larger than any of tho
Others, and who always kept little ahead
OF his troops. They were of the sor'
known as the medium sized red ant, whic
Is regarded as the most intelligent of il
kind, whose scientific name is Formica ru
bra.
About 40 ants out of 500 stepped out
and joined the leader. The general and
his aids held a council and then proceeded
to examine circle of molasses Certain
portions of it seemed to be assigned to the
different ants, and each selected unerring-
ly the points in the section under his
charge where the stream of molasses was
narrowest. Then the leader made his tour
of inspection. The order to march was
given, and the ants all made their way to
hole in the wall at which the plaster
ing was loose Here they broke ranks and
set about carving pieces of plaster to the
place in the molasses which had been
agreed upon as the narrowest. To and fro
they went from the nailhole to the molas-
scs until, at 1890 O'Clock, they had thrown
bridge across. Then they formed them
selves in limo again and marched over,
and by 11:45 every ant of the foraging ex-
petition was contentedly eating pie

Summer Bicycle Suits.

Brown linen drilling and the smoothly
woven brown linens without dressing are
chosen for suits by fashionable wheelwom-
en- at Tuxedo and Newport, says Harper's
Bazaar. They are not intended for long
rides, but are more comfortable than serge
or cheviot suits for short distances in warm
weather. They are made with an easy tit
ting coat, Turkish trousers and skirt
long enough to conceal the trousers. A
shirt waist of madras or silk or else we'll
fitted vest completes the suit.

In every capital of Europe the mono

theater considerable proportion are

GERS IN the Ger man army wear memo
cles. They are seen in abundance at
any meeting of the French academy.
Even socia list deputies in France are
not ashamed to go among their con-
stituents wearing them. A session OF
the English house of commons glitters
with solitary eyeglasses. The single
eyeglass is said to have originated
among the officers of the British army.
About the beginning of the century an
order was issued that army officers
should not wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles 1t was supposed that they gave
the wearers an unmilitary appearance.
The order caused severe Inconvenience
to many short-sighted officers, and one
of them belonging to a crack regiment
invented the single eyeglass; its use
was no eontravention of the order
which prohibited spectaeles and eye
glasses. 1t soon became very popular
in the army and was afterward adopted
On account probably of this origin the

that the amount to which Mr.. Mccall

improbable. Of course larger amounts
are owned by some of the great city

their wealth is not entirely unfettered;
it is either subject to heavy charges,

Country Life May BE Mada Less Laborious
by . Rev Agency.
Part of the growing difficulties oc-
casioned by the desertion Of the coun-
try and the crowding of the cities will
be remedied, perhaps, by six years
hence-in that wonderful year 1850,
which electricians set as a mile post OF
human progress--by the crowning of
steams rival, says the New York Press.
Machinery is rapidly taking the dead
euing drudgery out of farm wo.'k when
conducted scientifically and on large
scale, and is causing. it to attract the
attention Of city people who long for
the healthful fields. Only the bodily
discomforts of farm work have pre-
vented an exodus from the city to the
country. Already electricity is turn
ing its attention to the long neglected
farm work, and has discovered profita-
BILE results to be had by subjecting
crops to currents of electricity. 1t is
beginning to simplify the ponderous
| farm machinery, and as soon as the
storage battery has received its finish
( ing touches and can be applied to light
ening the farmers toll and increasing
| his profits the farmer will be looked
upon with envy by the prisoners OF
| city streets and counting house walls
1 Those particular effects of electricity
| upon farm machinery and farm life
/ are, howe yer. visible chiefly in the i'm
agination at present, and are not at al
! likely to be realized in six years; bu
one great change may be looked for il
this direction in the immediate future
and that is the improvement of tn,
farmers condition by means of gooC
roads and the rapid transit whici
electricity is almost ready to bring
thus greatly enlarging his market ant
bringing him higher prices for freshe
products, and also bringing him close
to the life and pleasures and stimu
lating effect of the city. There is t
be a wonderful change in farm life i
the more thickly settled parts of til
country in very few years, and rapi
transit will be largely responsible s
it. The cheap transmission of electric;
power must bring soon many change
that will be felt in the city household
and perhaps the chief of them will /
the abolition of the cook stove as it
known at present. The small electrt
heater has already begun to take il
place. and it is almost certain that eve
in six years coal will be banished frol

electricity IS generated. When heat
wanted for cooking purposes it will

the Pieiades.
If our sun were removed to the
Pleiades it would hardly be visible in
an opera glass with which nearly 100
stars can be seen in the cluster. Sixty
or seventy Plciades surpass our sun in
brilliancy, Alcyon being 1000 times
more brilliant, Electra 500 times and
Maia nearly 400, says Longman's Maga-
zine. Sirius itself takes a subordinate
rank when compared with the five
most brilliant members of group the
real magnificance of which we can
thus in some degree apprehend. If we
seek to know the dimensions, not of
the individual stars, but of the cluster
itself, we are met with many ditn-
culties, but, on the assumption that If
is approximately spherical in shape,
we can calculate its diameter to be
over 40. 900, ,o0o, 900 miles. If we think oi
the dimensions of our solar system by
themselves or in relation to terrestrial
matter they appear stupendously enor
nous. Neptune, the most distant
known member, has an orbit over s.,
| 900, 600, 900 miles across, but the solar
| system is to the Pleiades but a Lilipu
tian to Brobdingnagian-is but ;

the size of the solar system would, i
I it were spherical and its diameter tina

more than 10000, 100000 times in

/ other words, the limits of the Pleiade
could contain $50 solar systems a
many times over as there are miles be
tween Neptune and the sun. 1t mus
not be forgotten that though there ar
1900 stars in the cluster, yet with sue
dimensions for the entire group vas
distances must separate the stars froI
one another. In fact. 1900 sphere:
each with diameter of S,0o0,010,0C
