 Dr. Holmes.

One of the compenSations of the poet is that now and then he stumbles upon surprises such as tickle his diaphragm and ripple his face with smiles One of these surprises greeted genial Dr. Holmes ill the days when he went to dinners. At certain dinner party a young Virginia girl, visiting Boston, was seated next to a homely little old gen tleman, whose name she had not caught. A correspondent of the Boston Tran script tells what resulted from that failure:
 The gentleman began to talk with her and asked her how she passed her time in the country. "Oh, we read, my ia ther and I, " she said.
 What do you read:'' asked the little old man.
 "Well, thc 'Autocrat of the Breakfast Table for ono thing, she answered.
 II should think you would not care to read that more than once, " remarked the old man in tone of slight dispar- agcment.
 My father and l may not be judges If literature, said Miss Virginia, with 3 faint accent of scorn, but when we get to the end of the 'Autocrat' we gen. erally turn back to the beginning and read it over again"
 The little old man smiled at this and was disposed to be friendly. but Miss Virginia was so disgusted with his tone concerning tho "Autocrat" that she met him with chilly indifference.
 As soon as the guests went into the drawing room her hostess whispered re- proachfully to her, You didn't seem to find Dr. Holmes as interesting as I hoped "
 "Dr Holmes!' shrieked Miss Vir- ginia. Thoro were tableau and an ex- planation. -Y outh's Companion

Every Energy Directed Toward Making the
 Aaianta Exposition Success.
 The women Of the south are working with will to make the Woman's build ing and its exhibit one of the most suc- cessful features of the proposed Cotton States and International exposition. The president of the board of women man. agers is Mrs. Joseph Thompson, one of the social leaders of Atlanta. She is a daughter of Major Livingston Mims, who was a member of the staff of Gen. eral Joseph E. Johnston during the war, and her husband is one of the promi- nent business men of the south. MT. and Mrs. Thompson have a beautiful country home not far from Atlanta, which has become famous for its typic- al southern hospitality.
 When the exposition management de- cided upon an exhibit for the fair sex, Mrs. Thompson was promptly selected as the person best fitted by social posi- tion and managerial ability for the diff cult task of interesting the ladies of At lanta and of the south in the great en-

HOW Co Drill . Souare Hole.
How to Treat SprMins.

In all branches of sport sprains are frequent, and unless properly attended to at once these injuries often cause weeks and months of pain and suffering In cases of strains of cords in the wrist the injured part should be tightly bandaged and twice day held under faucet, al
 lowing cold water to fall on it from a height of two or three feet. This produces a natural steaming, very beneficial. In a short time an improvement is noticed under this course of treatment Where the tissues of the muscles of the leg are strained the only treatment necessary is very simple. Bandage the injured part tightly and exercise it daily, a little at first. If allowed to remain inactive, the injury grows worse in all cases. The straining of the muscles of the back is best treated by applications of liniment and judicious use of electric treatment

ADOBE HOUSE COMING IN.
Colorado Springs Setting the Fashion For

Colorado Springs Setting the Fashion For
 the Remainder of America.
 The first houses erected upon Ameri- can soil were built of adobe, or sun dried brick. and adobe houses now promise to become quite fad i'll the west. Colorado Springs has set the fash ion, and we seem to be at last on tho trail of a genuine national school of ar chitecture. There is an impression that adobe houses are unsubstantial and un- desirable places of residence. The fact is, however, that Q well built adobe house is cooler in summer, warmer in winter and more successful in defying time and the elements than house of wood or fire brick.
 Many of the most ancient buildings now standing on this continent are the adobe structures in Mexico, New Mex ico, Arizona and California. In Santa Fe, which claims to be the oldest city in the United States. the old adobe Chapel of St. Miguel, the first church built in America, has stood the wear and tear of nearly 31s centuries. The old palace built of the same material is

crack fier, the Phantom, won the banner, downing the speediest challengers from the Poughkeepsie and other clubs. In the same year the Hudson and the Shrews- bury river yachtsmen began to sail worlds championships and have held such cham pionships nearly every winter since. In the races such cyclonic wonders as the Phantom, the Scud, the Jack Frost, the Northern Light, the Icicle, the Lady of the Lake, the Avalanche, the Dreadnaught and the Robert Scott have won renown among ice yachtsmen all over the country.
 Under the most favorable conditions the best ice rlchts have sped, 1t is claimed, at the appalling rate of two miles a minute. Though most yachtsmen question the two miles a minute claim, they assert that speed equivalent to 150 feet a second has indisputably been made. On certain pe- culiarly exposed stretches of the Hudson, when a raging gale was tearing through the air directly across the river, ice yachts, flown by the fastest express trains ''almost as if the trains were standing still,' as some enthusiasts have said On some rare occasions, when it was thought that an express was running well over 65 miles to the hour, the very best of the boats are said to have gained more than 50 per cent over the locomotive, thus making more than n mile and two thirds to the minute, or about 150 feet to the second. The most daring calculators wish to believe that as high as two miles in 60 seconds have been

terprise. The wisdom of the choice was so apparent that the ladies who became associated with Mrs. Thompson in the work elected her president without de- bate. Among the other prominent off cers are Mrs. w. C. Lanier, first vice president; Mrs. s. M. Inman. second vice president; Mrs. A. B. Steele, sec- retary; Mrs. A. E. Thornton, treasurer, and Mrs. W. Fl. Felton, chairman of the executive committee. This commit tee is very strong body. and its mem- bership includes many of the most ca pablo women of the south.
 A reasonable portion of the exposi tion's funds were allotted for Wom- ans building upon condition that the ladies should raise money for proper exhibit. For such purpose a large sum was needed, but the ladies were un- daunted. Every fair attache of the wom- ans department immediately began scheming, and many excellent plans for securing money have been and are be- ing carried ont. The gay world of At lanta has turned its entire attention to hoarding up the American dollar, and the proceeds of about every entertain ment that is held are devoted to the woman's exhibit fund. As result, money is coming ill at rapid rate, and the success of the woman's department seems assured.

His Quiet Old Daddy.

In his Romance of the Coast" MT. Runolman tells story of n northern pilot who was quite a character in his way.
 At one time he was bringing ship northwad when ho was invited by the captain to run down below and help him self to a nip of brandy.
 After taking his brandy he proceeded to light his pipe at the stove. Now, the cap tain possessed a large monkey, and the creature was shivering near the fire. The pilot said, A gusty day, sir" and the monkey gave a responsive shiver.
 The pilot went on, with affable gruff- ness, The Soutcnlights $ away on the port bow now, sir, and still tho monkey made no answer. Not to be stalled of, the pilot proceeded, 'We'n be over the bar in an hour, sir
 But failing to elicit a res ponse even tO this pleasant information he stepped up on deck, and ranging himself alongside of the captain on the bridge, said, What a quiet '':c;, your father is!''

and Alice stood in very close confiden- tial relations with her, Jakey consented to deliver the note to the maid and wait ed to see if there was any reply. Alice returned and said that her mistress would be down in a moment. Presently she entered, dressed in morning wrap per.
 "Jakey," she said, taking the boy by the hand and smoothing the hair out of his eyes, "can I rely on you to do some- thing for me?''
 "Could the colonel?"
 "You are going to the front, and no one can tell what may happen. You'll probably have to meet your enemies some time, and the colonel says that a battle may come at any day. Iwant you to promise me that if anything should happen to the colonel you will come here as fast as you can and let me know of it. Do you understand"
 'EY' mean eff tn colonel gifts hit on tn for'ead with a cannon ball?"
 "Oh, Jakey, don't talk so! mean if he gets sick or wounded or in any other trouble, will you come and tell me at once?''
 Reckon.
 Laura knew that this was Jakey's way of making a promise, and she was satisfied. She told him to wait few minutes and went out of the room. When she returned, she brought two parcels with her.
 'This one is for you, Jakey, she said handing him one of them. "It's lunch con- Put it in your haversack and give the other to the colonel And hand him this note"
 She gave him a tiny white envelope, within which in a few words was con- centrated what may be best expressed as three days rations of desiccated affec- tion.
 Jakey took the parcels, and placing the note ill his cap went out, mounted Tom and dashed away after his com mander.

weston's Proposed Long Walk.

John Chamberlain of Washington has offered to bet 5000 that Edward Payson Weston can walk from San Francisco to New York in 100 days without walking on Sundays and cover a distance of be- tween B. 800 and 3, 500 miles As Mir Weston would make only about $2, 500 if he succeeded in covering the distance in the time mentioned, and as this sum, in his opinion, would practically only meet his expenses, he felt that he could not un- dertake the tramp unless his expenses were guaranteed from some source. If his friends assure him that the expenses will be met, he will make the start from San Francisco on Monday, March f, which would land him in New York, if he sue ceeds. on Junt 2s

The space game consists of four lines drawn from the cen ter of each cushion to the center of the opposite one, thus dividing tho table into four equal spaces The player is allowed five shots within each space, but on the sixth shot one of tho object balls must cross a line, thus compelling the player to conflne himself almost entirely to open tabla work

NEW ADOBE HOUSE AT COLORADO SPRINGS. about as ancient, and within its walls Indian caciques, Spanish adventurous, Texan invaders and American governors have successively sat in state. Beneath tho shadow of its roof one of the most successful American novels, Ben Hur, was written.
 General Palmer, formerly president of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, set the adobe house fashion in Colorado Springs several years ago, and now 0 score of such houses are being built for the fashionable inhabitants of Little London as ex-Governor Waite once termed Colorado Springs. Half breed Mexicans have been imported to make the adobeS, and no one is considered quite in the swim nowadays in Colo rado Springs unless he has an adobe house under way The Mexicans closely guard the secret of making adobe, but the bricks are formed of loamy earth containing about two-thirds fine sand and one.third clay and certain amount of straw. The material is damp enad and worked into a proper consist ency by treading with the feet, and is then placed in molds l6 inches long, inches wide and 6 inches deep. The adobes are dried in the sun and become very hard and durable.
 How tO Drill . Square Hole.
 Make the drill of three sided steel bar, which side is like the side of the square hole you want, and prepare it in the end for cutting good and freely. Over the spot where the hole is wanted place fixture with square hole of the same size as required. The drill can be fixed for a boring machine and is guid. ed in the hole of the fixture. The fin. ished holes look good with slightly rounded corners.
