'There is in Tennessee family Of
three sisters which presents some Of
the most startling peculiarities inn
aginablc." said gentleman from the
state in question. who Is staying nt one
Of the New Orleans hotels. "'rhe three
sisters. all OF whom are old maids. live
together on Il farm. their sole means of
subsistence. and work early and late to
earn livelihood. Two of them work
in the field; the third does the cooking
and other housework. There is but
one period of the year when any mem
Der of the trio has anything to say to
any other member. All during the win
ter. spring and summer they go about
their business with the seal of silence
on their lips When fall comes and the
crop is harvested they break silence,
and then only to quarrel over the di-
vision OF the proceeds. When each has
succeeded in getting all that she thinks
possible, silence reigns again until the
next harvest time. The sisters have
made a rame for themselves. They are
known far and near as the deaf and
dumb triplets.' although the title is
scarcely appropriate" Orleans

much toward making individuals Of an

There is new bicycle lock on the
market, which, in many features is an
improvement over any lock recently in
vented. 1t is the only lock on the
market which grasps the handle post.
1t is fastened to a projecting stand or
arm, under which the front wheel Is
placed. The handle post is showed into
the lock against Il trigger. when it is
clutched from the back by Il finger.
This finger can be released by turning
the lock over. A key. however. is pro-
vided to release it more readily.

The City HOuse Of To-Day

The ready-made dwelling built to
rcnt-in the first half Of the century,
compares with the readymadc dwell
ing to-day as the fail OF Franklin's
time compares with the modern thrcsh-
ing machine. In nothing that Is out
side the line of the revolutionary in
ventions of the age has progress made
such strides as 1t has III ministerinG TO
the comfort of those who dwell in
cities. The rented house of the first
half of the century was larger than II
has become. but 1t was Il mere empty
box. after all-lsually it WAS Il part Of
monotonous row Of such boxes. Now
such dwellings are tastefully designed.
and an effort is made to give each an
individual character. Within they are
illuminated by great plate-glass win
dows. decorated with Il liberal finish
of ornamental hardwood. fitted with
sanitary safeguards in the plumbing
| and ventilating fixtures. and completed
by modern improvements OF many use
full kinds In each Is n house tele-
| phone. with mouthpicces and electric
| buttons in every room. The dumb
| waiter Of such house reaches to the
first bed room floor, II not to the top
of the building.
The mantel pieces have cabinet tops,
and are built above crate iireplaces
that contain gas logs, or false but

with perforated gas pipes. The 0oors
slide into the walls, SO as not to take
up any Of the too little space in the
small modern rooms. A SNOWY china

of the walls near the kitchen. In

the house of the smells of cooking. and
good draughts for the fires are guaran

Saddle and IL


For Lighting the Lamp.
The difficulty and annoyance expert
enced by endeavoring to light bicycle
lamp in a strong wind need no longer
disturb the rider. A simple device is
now for sale which does away with all
trouble 1t Is a bicycle lamp lighter or
match gun. 1t works on the same
principle as an indelible pencil. 1t is
loaded with matches, and all that is
necessary when you want to light your
lamp is to poke the lighter into the hole
Of the lamp, push the end of the lighter,
and it Is all done. AS the match is ig-
nited only when it reaches the of the
lamp, ample protection is afforded, and,
however high the wind, it cannot blow
out the lamp.
The number Of cranky inventors who
are giving their attention to bicycles is

Bicycle steps.
Bicycle steps for assisting the rider
in starting the wheel before his foot
has reached the pedal in mounting are
one of the most recent patents. The
steps are so arranged in connection
with Il spring. pawl and Il rachel
wheel secured to the axle Of the rear
wheel. that when the weight Of the
latter is thrown on the step the wheel
receives a forward impulse.
An ingenious arrangement combining
n saddle and a tool box has just made
its appearance. 1t consists of Il spring
frame provided with means for secur-
ing it to Il seat support. IL seat pad
hinged at one end to the end of the
spring frame under the ped. The de
vice is so constructed that when the
seat pad is raised on its hinges access
may be had to the tool bag, and when
the pad is lowered it closes the tool
