MY neighbor. contrary to what you

rarely does expensive kindnesses. He

The translucent Fabric recently
brought out by New England firm to
take the place of glass skylights has,

freighthouses and similar buildings
having skylights of large areas, the
light weight Of the material permits
OF simple, inexpensive and light form
of skylight construction. The joints
are made water-tight by a special form
of construction employed with this ma.
terial. The fabric is said to have
marked advantages over glass in being
practically unbreakable, and for this
reason leaks on account Of breakage
or cracking are not experienced. The
translucent fabric consists of trans

but did you ever hear of a postal card
that could be turned into a magnet?
Balance a walking stick on the back

you are going to make it fall without
touching it or the chair. Having thor
oughly dried a postal card, preferably
before an open fire, rub it briskly on

Wales Pays $40 Apiece for Lounge
Suits and 1880 for Trousers.
The Prince of Wales is by no means
the small. stout man which most of his
pictures seem to Indicate 1t Is not
every man turned so with forty-five
inch chest who can boast of a waist
of not more than forty inches. II he
occasionally appears stouter it is be-
cause he likes his clothes to be loose
and easy This is especially the case
with those particular suits known as
Lounge suits" For these he never un-
der any circumstances pays more than
$40. A few years ago Sir Francis
KnOllys, his private secretary, finding
that his tailors were Overcharging him,
fixed upon a uniform price for each
suit. They are ordered in half dozens
at a time. There is likewise a regular
and fixed price Of $3.50 for his trous-
ers, which under no pretext whatsoever,
save in the case of uniforms, il ex-
ceeded. The prince has a horror of
evening dress, which he considers hid
eous. He prefers evening dress to uni
forms, however, and uses twelve suits
of these year at fixed price of $50
suit. The prince never wears any
pair of trousers more than four times,
and as the discarded clothes of roy
atty are not allowed to be appropriated
by the Wallets, but are all preserved,
there is a stock of thousands of them
at Marlborough house. This need sur
prise no one, for when King George w.
died his clothes were sold by public
auction, which lasted over three weeks,
there being no less than 500 fur-lined
coats alone. All the princes clothes,
old and new, are kept at Marlborough
house in what are known as the
brushing rooms several men being
employed to look after them. All his
hats, especially the old ones, are for
some reason or other kept at Sand
bingham. He abominates the high
silk hat, his favorite headgear being
that which is known as the bowler. 4"

Bottled Tears.

The Persians are the only people In
the world who still adhere to the old
custom of boiling tears. In that coun-
try it constitutes an important part in
the funeral ceremonies performed over
the dead.
Each of the mourners Is presented
with a sponge, with which to mop the
face and eyes. and after the burial
these are taken by priest, who
soueezes the tears into bottles.
Mourners' tears are believed to be
the most efiicaciOus remedy that can be
supplied in several forms of Persian
diseases. The custom of bottlig tears
is mentioned in the Bible.

LISTENS WHILE YOU TALK.
the two principals are pleased, it is
none of his business.
Neighbor Jim is popular with the
women, because he is always cordial
but never gets off compliments. To
say very complimentary or pretty
things to one woman puts a man in
a dangerous plight with all the others
You cannot say the same of all, or you
are counted insincere. But you can
look pleased with all. Jim seems to
look delighted when ladies talk with
him. He exerts himself to entertain
them, But no one can go away and
quote a burning compliment to make
all the other women green with jeal-
ousy and incipient dislike. 1t is not
generally much considered. but the
complimenting neighbor does not, as
a rule, get along we'll for any length
Of time.
Neighbor Jim has way Of draw
ing out men who have heretofore been
in a hole. He gets hold of unpopular
fellows. helps them to show up their
good sides, somehow puts them on ex-
hibition to advantage, and gives them
recognition among US. He pulls men

TAUGHT A DOG TO SING.
New York Central Engineer Claims
He Accomplished the Feat.

-
He Accomplished the Feat.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
John Porter, a New York Central en-
gineer, has a dog that he is teaching to
sing. Roger, the dog, has been trained to
perform every time member of the Por-
ter family opens the plano. In showing off
the other day he kept time to the accom-
paniment. His style of singing was by
yelping In. time to the notes played on the
instrument. When it ran soft and low, his
voice sank almost to growl; when the
notes rose in loud strains Roger pointed
his nose to the ceiling and sang q wild,
long wall of pathos in such treble as was
never heard. When it was all over and the
last note Of the music had sounded, he
wagged his tail and walked around to each
one of the company for congratulations.
1t was several months ago that the Por-
ters first learned that they had sheltered
this musical prodigy, and they and their
neighbors have been having infinite amuse-
ment with him ever since. BY dint of all
the practice they have given him. Roger
has improved vastly. He has learned songs
and can distinguish from the first few
notes of the accompaniment what selec-
ton is expected Of him. and he sings them
with all the feeling that dog could have.
and vastly more than some people seem
capable Of There is only one thing that
will stop MIN in the middle Of a song, and
that is to be laughed at, If he is laughed
at he stops short, goes back under the
plano and stares cohtemptuously at the i'll
hammered people until they go away and
leave HIM far

HE WAS LOST.
An Intoxicated Man Tries Hard ta

An Intoxicated Man Tries Hard to
Locate His DOmfcile.
From the San Francisco Post.
If any one had told him he was drunk he
would not have resented it, but would have
made an effort 10 maintain his eluili brium
and dignity long enough to explain that he
was only a little oozy-woozy. lie realized
that he lived at 208 Irvington street and
that his residence wac on the right-hand
side he wobbled along homewsrd. The
uncertain light Of early dawn, combined
with the blear in his eyes rendered 1t neces-
sery for him to stop in front Of every house
and gravely brace himself against the rail-
ings until he could focus his eyesight on
the number.
Finally he identified his house. but after
arguing with himself for a couple of min
utes he came to the conclusion that he was
just woozy enough to make mistakes ros-
s;ble, SO to be absolutely certain he bal
anced himself against the front fence and
studied the number on the transom. In
stead of 2o6 he saw 500. He rubbed his eyes
and looked again, but the number had not
changed. 1t was still 500. Then lie won-
dered how 1t happened that he had got on
the wrong side of the street and three
blocks too far out. made a zigzag across
the street and started back. but before he
had walked three blocks he came to the end
of the street.
The weary pilgrim was bewildered He
couldn't understand it, but getting his d.
rections. shaped his course out the street
on the right side and kept on until he came
to b09 again. He studied 1t from every
possible point Of view, even trying to stand
on his head to read 1T, but it perversely re-
mained 500.
Utterly bewildered, he sat down on the
steps and waited till a policeman came
along.
I'm losht." he explained. Il wanter go
ter 2OG Irvington street"
This is the place right here" declared
the officer.
Cant be. Thish is j09"

The lost was found.
