Something New I'm windmilis.

The old-time windmill-that tower
ing skeleton OF ribs and fans with
which we are familiar-has recently
been improved in fashion that
promises much better results-an In
creased rate ofpower and much greater
ease Of management. Instead Of fans
or arms turning over and over, wheel
fashion, the conditions are reversed,
the axle being perpendicular, and the
fans turning from side to side. This
arrangement has advantages, in that
the machinery can be made stronger,
and by an ingeniously contrived set Of
levers the fans open and close auto
matically. This is of great Importance,
as a sudden gale is liable to wreck an
ordinary windmill on short notice.
With this new device, II Is claimed that
no matter how rapidly the fans may re-
voive, they will catch the wind only at
the proper time, the other side opening
to give free passage to the air; thus the
higher the gale, the higher the rate OF
speed and the more effective the
machinery. II Is said that in windy
countries enough power can be gener-
ated TO run q small dynamo. The
greatest value of windmill is in coun-
tries where continual pumping Of
water is necessary for purposes Of irri-
cation. A windmill constructed on
this new principle costs no more than
the old style. is infinitely more effect
i've, less liable to get out Of order, and
has greater variety Of uses than any
heretofore made.

terest Them.
Two or three Of her majesty's judges
have given expression to sentiments OF
particular interest to womanlsind, says
the New York Sun. Thus Sir Forest
Fulton, the Recorder Smyth Of the Lon
don criminal courts, instructed a jury
that "bigamy on the part Of woman
was very different thing from bigamy
on the part OF q man. and the jury
must require strong evidence that the
prisoner was aware that her husband
was alive when she contracted her sec
ond marriage"
The Judge Of another court when TAX
ing his seat on the bench saw some one
In the public gallery wearing a stand
ing collar and four-in-hand with cap
ON his head. Take of that hat up
therel" cried the Judge, severely. There
was no movement. Take of that hat,
sir!" came the order again, in the stern
est tones from the bench.
Then came the reply In weak voice
from the gallery:
'Please, your honor, It's lady"
The Judge started for moment. and
then exclaimed:
"A woman, Is Il? Then why does
she dress like that?"
There was no explanation, and the
business Of the court went on.
Another Judge decided. 70 the con
sternation Of English housewives, that
a mistress has no right TO compel serv
ants TO pay for broken crockery or te
discharge them without notice for such
faults unless Il Is the agreement wher
the servant il engaged.

"Laine says that course Of rocking

dyspeptics should take notice The
chair ought to DO light, so that rocking
requires no effort, and sufficiently In

will agree that DR.. Laine has done

been rather difficult to explain the nm

now It Is only too easy. Americans are
the worst sufferers from indigestion

appears that we have instinctivcly
rushed to what Is now proved to be the
best system of relief.
"The man who lunches on pie and

AMERICAN WRITER'S LACKING.
Complaint That Good Work 10 In Demand

Complaint That Good Work 10 In Demand
While tho Quality Is Poor.
There Is an increasing demand for
good American fiction. With all due
respect to the galaxy Of bright writers
In Great Britain who have achieved
such prominence here during the last
few years, It Is, nevertheless, q fact
that publishers are looking eagerly for
novels and novclettes dealing with
American people and scenes. Said one
Of them TO the Literary World the 9TH
er day: 1--WE have been publishing
English and Scotch stories simply be-
cause we could not procure American
fiction Of corresponding worth 1t Is
needless to say that there Is q far
greater demand for American novels
than for those written about charac-
tiers and incidents European and Brit
ish. But II looks ms II we could not
succeed In our endesvor. We do not
want q novel, for instance, that Ii
dashed of. three or four chapters st .
time, by O woman after she has given
an afternoon tea before dressing for the
evening. But we want American
novels written by men and women
whose brains surge and swell while
they arc at work. And see no hope
full outlook excepting In the newspa-
per Offices"
The publisher does not understand
the conditions Of newspaper work now
adays, or he might not be hopeful.
There ARE young men and young women
scattered through newspaper offices
here and there who are capable OF de-
ycloping into novelists; but they have
no chance, while on morning papers, Mt
least. The average reporter goes to
work nj noon, and then until midnight,
or an hour later. he or she Is fastening
from one point to another, oftentimes
unable to eat regularly or to secure
sufficient sleep. BY the time the after
noon assignment is covered and the
STORY" written the reporter has q
chance TO breathe sometimes; and then
when he reaches the Office with his
evening assignment covered. provided
he has but one. he sits down and writes
when too often he is greatly fatigncd.
At midnight. or one or two o'clock in
the morning. he goes home. Is 1t rea-
sonublc to expect Z man or woman
after such siege to write fiction? How
can II be done? Leaving entirely aside
the fact that newspaper work. with its
plain statement of events, prccludes
the dcvelopmcnt of thought and lit
crary style, the reporters very exist
encc, with its hurry and rush and ex-
hausting physical labor. makes 1t very
doubtful If we can look to him us a
class from whom to expect fiction.
With men and women on evening pa
pers the case is different. They have
more leisure. in the evenings, Mt least;
hut the fact remains that as usual
thing the brightest men and women
prefer morning papers, because they
pay SO much more.

French Court Dinner.
When Elihu Washburne was United
States minister to France there was
court dinner given at the palace Of the
Tuilleries one night by the emperor,
Napoleon ILL.,, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. II was the custom at these
dinners when the empress arose to re-
tire with the ladies for the gentlemen
to rise from their seats and step back,
SO that the ladies should pass down the
line between them and the table. BY
this all could avoid turning their backs
on the empress. Mr.. Washburne had
very tender feet. During the dinner
they had given him great deal of an
noyance, and to ease himself he had
slipped off his patent leather pumps.

close Of the dinner and was caught I'M

right and left. lie betrayed none Of
the embarrassment he must have felt,
and was never heard to allude to the

Francisco was nearly wrecked recently
by most peculiar incident. As 1t was
the noon time, business was lost for ut
least one day. The proprietor, who
had been out on the street somewhere,
went to a closet, donned his black
alpaca coat and started to wait on n
couple of ladies. lie drew napkin
from the coat pocket to brush q crumb
from the table cloth, when out jumped

The women were ON the table In q sec
ond. Men upset chairs and tables try
ing TO stamp on the animal, but II
escaped all the blows aimed at It and
chased around and around the place
looking for some avenue Of escape for
fully five minutes. BY the time the
restaurant cat woke up and caught the
rat the place was n sorry wreck and
half the patrons had disappeared.

STORY OF A MISSING BABY.
Curious Experience Of u Parisian Lady of
Position.


Position.
The recent experience Of Partisan
lady of position, writes Miranda in the
Lady's Pictorial, may serve as useful
warning to some of my readers who
reside abroad. The lady in question
returned from u ball one night much
earlier than she had given her servants
reason to expect, and TO her constcrna-
ton found three members Of her
household missing, the nurse, the
housemaid and-thc baby! Greatly
terrified. she rushed to the concierge
to make inquiries, AND after some pre-
yarication the man informed her that
the two servants. fancying their mis-
tress would not return for some hours,
had gone to a notorious dancing place,
taking the baby with them, and there
the lady would be certain to find all
three quite safe and sound" As the
master of the house was absent, the
distracted mother went TO seek male
relative, and together they visited the
locality indicated, whore they found
the two women drinking with friends,
but no baby. In reply to frantic in
ouiries after her child, the houscmaid
impudently told her mistress-whose
smartest new gown she had borrowed
for the evening, by the way-"that
madam need not excite herself, the
infant was in good hands" At first
she refused to say where; but by dint
of threats II was dragged from her
that the child had been taken to a low
inn close ut hand. Here the enraged
parent found her precious offspring
asleep in filthy bed with eight other
children, who were all being taken
charge OF at one franc fifty centiincs n
head while their nurses enjoyed them
selves. Needless to say, the two
wretches were dismissed on the spot

THAT TERRIBLE SPARROW.

Painted.

Painted.
Perhaps the strongest argument
against the sparrow is that he drives
away the song birds. In certain cases
that is possibly true. When the coming
of song birds is encouraged by the
building of boxes for them to nest in
the sparrow is quite prone to Dust the
song birds and TO take possession of the
boxes. II he finds tree TO DO particu-
larly convenient he takes possession of
that, and So II Is unfortunately true
that some of our native songsters are
rnrer than they used to be.
Unfortunately, however. says Our
Animal Friends, the sparrow Is the
least OF the enemies Of our song birds.
The bobolink has become rare in New
England, but it is the moving machine
and the early cutting of hay, not the
sparrow, that has driven him away, and
elsewhere 1t is to the small boy and to
the purveyor OF the restaurant, who 60
out to kill anything and everything
that has got wings, that we owe the
disappearance of our song birds much
more than to the sparrow.
In Europe song birds and sparrows
thrive together, and for one song bird
that Is native to the United States there
are ut least ten or twenty that are
abundant in Europe. In the United
States we have few song birds, aud
they ought to be protected against all
enemies, even the sparrow, but in
Europe the larlss, the finches, and the
nightingales find no difficulty in living
in the neighborhood of the sparrow,
and In this country, II we would take
away the gun from the small boy and
put the purveyor of the restaurant in
Jail, II is probable that our song birds
would flourish quite well in spite Of
the sparrow.

Raieigh's Colony.
One OF the most romantic legends Of
American history Ia that connected
with the name Of Virginia Dare, the
first white child Of English descent
born ON American soil, and the colony
Of which her parents were members.
The colony was sent from England by
Sir Walter Raleigh In 1887, and landed
on Roanoke island under Gov. John
White. who soon went back TO England
for supplies, and though he had left
his own family on the island, did not
come back for three years. When he
came back the colony had disappeared,
though there was no evidence that II
had been the victim Of violence or
famine. II had simply moved, and had
indicated where II had gone. Gov.
White seems to have been singularly
Indifferent to the fate Of his family,
whose place of refuge he seems TO have
known, and he did not prosecute any
search for them in person, though Sir
Walter Raleigh sent five unsuccessful
expeditions to find the colony.
In the Mid-Continent Magazine
Frances Jones Melton gives the reasons
for maintaining that the descendants
of the lost colony have been found in
the Croatans, on Lumber river, n mixed
people Of English and Indian descent.

whom have the gray eyes, fair complex

In the reconstruction period the name
of Henry Bell Lowric was very famil-
lar. He was classcd as an author. and
was prosecuted and prosecuted by the
authorities OF the reconstructed state,
to whom everybody not of mixed white
blood was negro This classification
was vigorously resented by Lowrie and
his people, who are proud Of their de-
scent and have kept themselves distinct
from whites. negroes and Indians alike.
Miss Melton gives a very interesting
account Of these peculiar people. and
the evidence she summarizes makes q
strong support for her claims that they
are the descendants of Sir Walters lost
