animal or plant an appendaee of any kind,
we may be sure that IL serves some wise
purpose.
Take n cats whskcrs for instance.
which may seem 10 YOU TO be merely orna-
mental. They are organs of touch, at
tached to bed Of fine glands under the
skin. and each of these long hairs is con-
nected with the nerves of the lip. The
slightest contact of these whiskers with
lu surrounding object is thus felt most
distinctly by the animal, although the
hairs themselves are insenSible.
They stand out on each side of the lion

half long directly under the very heart OF
Baltimore. and to obtain very decided ad-
vantage over competing lines, concluded to
make the underground transit a matter OF
comfort and luxury. To this end the rail-
road company contracted with the General
Electric Company to furnish an electric
locomotive TO haul its trains through the
Baltimore tunnel The electric locomo-
tive is finished and is here briefly described.
Its dimensions are two trucks, four motors

when the trolley wheel touched the trolley

Little Miss Susie Elizabeth Johnson was
only five years old, yet she had twenty
dolls by actual count four for every single
year Of her age. But as Miss Susie Eliza

sisters, six uncics. four aunts and a very
loving papa and mamma, you can easily
imagine where her big family of dolls came
from.

"Thcrcw she cried, throwing herself uron

with weary sigh Miss Susie Elizabeth

sofa and gared fXediy at the ceiling 50
that the sight Of the twenty naughty chill

She lay there long time. and although

An instant later, to Susie's great surprise

shaking. Then as he called their names
the other dolls shook Miss Susie Elizabeth

While Sister Gertrude stll had poor Susie
by the shoulders Susie sat up with n scream

wall just as she had left them. She found
that she had only been asleep ard dream

Don't Play with Fire.

From The Chicago Tribune.
Don't" is a good word to use In con-
nection with gasoline. and in view of some
recent happenings resulting from expert
ments with the modern engine of destruc-
tion-the gasoline stovc-a few don u
said to be handy have been compiled. 1t is
suggested that these "Gon'ts'' be put in a
neat frame and hung where the queens of
the kitchen can see them not less than 2OO
times day. Here is the list:
Don't get careless.
Don't expose gasoline in a room where
there is any kind of open fire.
Don't stand by a lighted lamp when you
clean your gloves with gasoline. You may
not be able to wear the gloves short of
two months.
Don't allow the servant to have too much
to do with the 'guzzle in If she's "A
good girl you want TO keep her and if she's
poor simply discharge her.
Don't put the tank on the stove wnen
you fill it, The tank will be found after
wards, but it is doubtful whether You
will be.
Don't fill the tank when the burners are
lit. II has been tried often with Indifferent
results.
DONE try to operate the stove IL you
don't thoroughly understand it. They can
serd man from the hardware store
cheaper than from the undertaker's shop.
Don be IN a hurry with SaSotine- IL IL
several hundred times quicker than you are
anyhow.
Don't light the burners after the pipes
have leaked over everything. flame
six feet wide is not handy to cook with.
Don't use your gasoline stove after 1t
is old and leaky. New stoves cost money.
So do collins.
Don't think there is any special dispen-
sation Of providence to protect you from
the consequences Of a careless act. You will
be surprised when you find that you are
not a salamander ard that gasoline flame
is no respccter Of persons.
