THE TROLLEY BUZZ,

And Something About the Trolley
Cars as 4 Cure for Headache.
"Ever hear of the trolley buzz?" said
Brooklyn resident whose business is
in New York. ''They say that some
people who travel regularly on the troll
ley cars get the trolley buzz. You know
the sound of the trolley, the bz-z-z-z
that begins low and rises gradually as
the car increases in speed, keeping a
uniform tone when the car is running
at uniform speed, and then declining
again as the car runs slower and stop
ping when the car stops? They say
there are people who travel regularly on
trolleys who hear this sound all the
time wherever they are, except when
they are asleep. They call this having
the trolley buzz.
Il never had the trolley buzz, but the
trolley cars sometimes do me a great
deal of good. They cure me of head
ache. 1 work here all day, keeping
very busy, and sometimes when I start
home at night L have hard headache.
I get into trolley car and take seat
over one of the axles. They say that no
electricity gets into the car, but i'm
agine there must be more or less of it in
the air. I know there is something
there that cures my. headache. I sit
down in the car with the headache bad:
I get down from it after a. ride of about
three miles, feeling bright and fresh
and with the headache gone.'

WOOD MOSAIC OF sAwDUsT.

Highly ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.
In the reports of the Industrial union
mention is made of new process Of
floor mosaic, says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of wood, as
sawdust, wood -four and fine shavings,
are treated first with a mixture Of shell
lac and alcohol, and then with cement
made of curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp, it is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size,
and placed under pressure. The joint
action OF the heat and pressure unite
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After few
minutes the compound is taken out Of
the molds when it is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
of an oily nature, be present, as it would
prevent the cement from being alb
sorbed into the pores of the wood. In
making different colored mosaic the
natural color of the woods used is taken
into consideration, then the wood itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved in
alcohol are mixed with the shellac. The
process is then performed as before.
In spite of it's hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection of wood, so
that it is particularly well adapted for
use as floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings. An important
advantage over all other processes OF
manufacturing mosaic floors is thatit
is not affected by any change of tenn

DIDN'T LIKE FAT BEEF.

First Experience of n Bride on a Mar
keting Trip.
Almost at first glance one would
know that she had not long been &C.
quainted with the duties of market
ing. In fact, she looked very bridish.
She wore beautiful morning gown
and carried herself with grace. When
she stalked into the grocery with her
little white hands firmly closed over
brand new pocketbook, a self-satisfed
smile lowering about the corners of
her pretty mouth and a general air of
self-confdence about her, everyone took
time to gaze upon the fair creature.
But it was apparent that the role was
an entirely new one to her. She had
assumed matronly look, but it did not
farmonize with her real self.
She was not attired in way to lead
one to think that she had recently been
led to the altar, There were no grains
of rice in her hair, nor were there any
old shoes attached to her person; still
there was something that plainly
stamped her "bride."
She wanted very much to conceal her
new position in life, and even had
she succeeded in doing so by her action
her visit to the grocer's would have
given the snap away.
3. The unmatronly-lookin young wom-
an stumbled partly through her order,
and then she came to the item of ham,
She told the accommodating clerk that,
even though most people preferred ham
a little fat, she did not want it that way,
because she "did not like fat beef in any
shape 3D.: .*.-s ~ Z
" And not soul in the entire establish
ment smiled, for she made the remark
with go much feeling and earnestnesa
that to have even cast a knowing glance
would have been wickedness in it's
worst form Toledo Blade. d"

THE suLTAN.s HEIR.
His Eldest brother, VINO Is Little

His Eldest Brother, who Ii Little
Known Among the People,
The sultan's heirs not his eldest son,
by his eldest brother. The eldest male
succeeds. Such is the law Of Islam, and
the fruitful source Of q dynasty murders
in almost every reign since the Turks
became a power, says the London Echo.
The sultan has four brothers; not one,
only, as was lately alleged. This eldest
brother is Rechad Effendi; that is to
say, he Is the eldest after ex-Sultan
Murad ", who, being insane, is not
counted. The third brot Their is Waredi1l,
and the fourth SULLIVAN. The sultan's
eldest son, Prince Selim, has no earthly
chance Of succeeding his father. He
has too many uncles and uncles' sons
for that. But Prince Selim is lucky, If
he knows it, for he is not dangerous"
He lives a life of freedom, whereas the
heir is, by the custom of the Ottomans,
a kind of life prisoner.
Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every
time he drives out he is escorted by a
troop, less by way of an escort than as
a guard. The few who do know him
like him, for he is said to be courteous,
humane, well-info formed man, acquainted
with current politics and keenly inter-
ested in them. He is a good farmer
The pretty palace known as the. Tcher-
agan is his residence. Of course,
Rechad's visitors are searched before
they are admitted, and when they are
leaving, by the sultan's officials. Dur
ing this time of trouble in Armenia,
Constantinople and Crete, Rechad has
been moro narrowly watched than ever,
for the sultan and his clique know that
Rechad is popular. Unlike the sultan,
Rechad is one of the most handsome
men in Constantinople.

And the Loss Naturally Caused Him
Some ANNOYANCE.

0OAkAS kA1AMVytA0CSsts&
One afternoon last summer I was
standing on the great suspension
bridge just below Niagara falls look=
ing at the great cataract and admiring
the wonderful colors of the green and
blue river 200 feet below. Several work
men were engaged in painting the
bridge, and became Interested in their
operations. It required no little en-
cheering skill to rig up an apparatus
by which to enable a painter to traverse
the giant guy rope cables which radiate
from the center Of the bridge, fan
shape, toward either end of the >struc-
ture, A painters platform four feet
square was suspended from one of these
cables by a trolley arrangement,
grooved wheel running on the cable.
By means of a rope attached to this
the platform from the river bank-the
terminus of the cable-to the bridge
above, and as the platform passed along
the cable workman sitting on COM
mon chair on the platform would paint
the great iron rope above his head and
behind the trolley wheel.
was especially interested in the
work of Swede, who, perched on a
= small platform, was painting one of the
Canadian braces. He had begun at the
end of the cable ON the Canadian shore
far below, and had been pulled up the
cables steep incline toward the bridge
until perhaps two-thirds of his journey
had been completed. There was abso-
lutely nothing but air between him and
the seething river 200 feet below; but
there he sat, on swinging platform,
methodically plying his brush and COM
placently smoking a short clay pipe.
How it happened don't know. But
the man on the bridge suddenly let the
rope slip out of his hands. There was
sharp cry of alarm from the startled
painter as the platform began to spin
down the incline, with constantly in
creasing momentum. It seemed as if
the poor fellow must inevitably be
dashed against the rocky precipice and
tumble into the river mangled corpse.
The slack of the rope on the bridge,
however, became entangled around a
brace and the perilous descent came to
a sudden end. The flying platform
stopped with a jerk. The chair pail
of paint, brush and a clay pipe went
sailing into space. The painter caught
a corner of the platform just in time to
save himself from following them.
Two minutes later the platform had
been pulled up to the bridge, and the
Swede was given a chance to stretch
his legs again in safety. The man on
the bridge had not word to say. He
was as, pale as a corpse and trembled
like a leaf. But the Swede did have
something to say, and he said it with
out the slightest tremor Of emotion in
his voice. "You,'' he remarked. 'tAy
tank you skal laind me your pipe. Lark
big fool Ay drop mine" - Chicago
Times-Herald.
