There Is a freedom of manner and ac-

which almost takes the breath away from
a person who had never before made a long
journey on one Of the big palace passenger
boats" said Philadelphian Just back
from delightful Mediterranean trip.
Let me relate a little incident. 1 was
sitting in the saloon cabin one morning.
There were several others in the handsome
apartment, among them the president of
a well known local insurance company
and right good looking young society
woman from New York. The insurance
man was about 40 or 90 years old, hale
and hearty. He was sitting on a long
couch short distance from the Young
lady. They had met for the first time on
the trip. We were all given an amusing
surprise by the gentleman referred to loud
~ exclaiming, How I would like TO kiss
a pretty girlp Oh do kiss me" was the
prompt rcjoinder Of the New York girl.
And he did in such thorough way that
we all saw and heard it. Then he went
on in the most matter of fact style to say.
Now, would like to have good hug
And the same young lady coyly nestled
mp to him, and he Rugged her in a man
ner that was evidently satisfactory to |
both.
Everybody laughed heartily, but what |
seemed the strangest part to me there was
not word Of comment about the strange |
occurrence. "-Philadclphia Record.

Yes, indeed. 1 consider my mother
one OF my greatest attractions " said q
young society girl to a friend who had
spoken in praise and admiration of tho
mother, who had just left the room.
" One of your greatest attractionsl What
do you mean by thatf'i
Why, don't you see, my friends and
prospective adOrers see how bright and
pretty and accomplished and charIninQlny
mother is, ana they infer that her daugh-
ter will follow in her footsteps and be the
Same at her age, I only hope she may.
And of course that is a great attraction to
a sensible person who thinks Of the inev-
liable future as well as the fleeting mo-
ment."
"Well, exclaimed the friend, "that is
a new idea to me. I'm afraid it is a rath-
CT selfish motive, but I'm going straight
home to stir my mother up to the per
Torrance Of her duties as a promissorv
note, so to speak, for her daughter She
has got to sing with me as your mother
does, and play my accomplishments. and
wear pretty gowns, and crimB her hair,
and do all sorts Of things that have never
entered her poor, dear head as possible for
a woman of her age.
That's right, dol" said the other girl.
Only don't make the poor dear's life a
burden by too much zeal 1 think it is a
shame tho way mothers arc left ont Of the
pleasant things just because their youth

have thought Of it if my mother herself |

The legendary belief that the eye Of a
murdered man might retain a permanent
image Of his destroyer has just received
something like scientific confirmation
/ According TO The Revue dies Questions
| Scientihques, Drs, Daneffe and Ciayes of
| Client university recently had their at
/ tention directed by medical student to
/ the curious appearance presented by the
! eyes Of a woman under treatment in the
/ hospital. The student declared that no
had found certain figures distinctly in
scribed on the surface of both eyes. Dr.
Deneife was incredulous and suggested
that if any such marks existed they must
merely be the chance result Of some injury,
and that tho resemblance to figures was
probable imaginary Next day however,
he examined the patient himself and was
astonished to find that the left iris bore
tho number 40" and the right "45, "
these figures being traced with caligraphio
perfection.
Imagination and hallucination are both
out Of the question, as Dr. Clayes and
other observers were brought in to verify
the phenomenon. The eyes, moreover,
were photographed, and on tho enlarged
proof the numbers 40" and rs" stand
out with unmistakable clearness. Nor is /
this all. Although the origin of these par
tioular impressions cannot be ascertained !
it has boon proved that their acquisition /
may be hereditary. The woman daugh- I
ter has the same popularity in her eyes.
but with a much less degree Of regularity
and distinctness The girls right eye is
found to bear a feeble reproduction of the
number 10, while in the left iris ths
figures '20' take the place of the moth
3r's 49, Here, then, is a pleasing puz-
lie for the Psychologists. 1t would be
strange at this time Of day to discover

Though the use Of ordinary lighting gas
is customary in England in engines up to
ten horsepower, for larger sizes small
convenient apparatus has been devised for
the production of gas that cannot be
used for illuminating purposes, but which
gives very economical results when burned
in an engine cylinder, This is known as
generator gas the best fuels from which
to obtain it being anthracite coal and gas
coke, as these yield no tar The thermal
efficiency Is also described as low, it hay
ing about 100 heat units per cubic foot. as
compared with 615 10 $50 of London light
ing gas, so that about four times the ouan-
tity is required to insure the same amount
OF power, the great quantity obtained,
however, together with the small amount
of depreciation and labor necessary for
production, it is said, make it in many
cases comparable in cost to gas at 20 cents
per /, 600.
