You have a refined, sensitive and
confiding nature and anything rough or
boisterous Jars on your nervous sys-
tenn and has a tendency to reduce your
vital force. You will manifest consid-
cradle enthusiasm with very little en-
couragement and will appreciate and
treasure up kind word to the same
extent that you will remember an in
jury II anyone abuses you. You will
forgive but cannot forget them. Your
talent runs In the direction of some Of
the fine arts but whenever you have
made any attempts to study anything
you have found it necessary to over
come obstacles in your path. You are
a firm friend on every occasion. Your
love affairs do not run smooth long at
time and If married, your hus-
band has spirited temper and will not
permit anyone to interfere with his
business no matter If he is right OF
wrong and as rule he is not able ts
successfully execute what he plans.

An Annie Problem,

Once upon a time there were two
old men who sat in the market early
every morning and sold apples. Each
one had thirty apples, and one of tie
old men sold two for cent, and the
other old man sold three for a cent.
In that way the first old man got fif-
teen cents for his basket of apples,
while the second old man received ten
cents; so that together they made twen-
ty-tive cents each day. But one day the
old apple-man who sold three for a
cent was too sick to go to the market,
and he asked his neighbor to take
his apples and sell them for him.
This the other old man very kindly
consented to do, and when he got to
the market with the two baskets of
apples, he said to himself: 81 will put
all the apples into one basket, for it
will be easier than picking them out
of two baskets" So he put the sixty
apples into one basket, and he said to
himself: Nov, If I sell two apples for
one cent, and my old friend sells three
for one cent, that is the same thing as
selling five apples for two cents. There
foreI will sell five apples for two cents"
When he had sold the sixty apples he
found he had only twenty-four cents,
which was right; because there are
twelve fives in sixty, and twice twelve
are twenty-four. But if the other old
man had been there, and each one had
sold his apples separately, they would
have received twenty-five cents. Now,
how is that explained?-St. Nicholas.

70 make light As cheap, streets and
homes Will be a. light A. day for mere

ton. and in q year or two should cut
down the price Of light 10 q sixth Of its
current cost, and in Ave or ten years
light may be, like water, 'tqrned ON In
every house at will.
Compressed air has long been known
to be the best way, theoretically. to
store force for use In transportation.
There u no waste and no deterioration.
The need is cheap and efficient motor
to apply compressed air to city transpor-
tation. II this can be done, first the troll
Icy poles and wires will come down, next
the horseless, compressed-air motor car
riage will do all the work Of city delivery.
When these come the only use for gas
VIII be for cooking-if this Is not done by
electricity. Factories, also. before many
years, will be run by transmitted elec-
THO power. This has begun to be known
and In i've or ten years will be COM
pleted and the factory fire and boiler
will be thing of the past
The city Of the future and no very
distant future, will have no trolley poles
or wires and no horses. All movements
will be on rail by silent air motors or
BY hoBeless carriages equally silent. All
pavements will be asphalt Unlimited
light will be as cheap as unlimited water
u to-day. No coal will be delivered at
private houses and no ashes taken from
them. With no horses, no coal and no
ashes, street dust and dirt will be re-
duced to q minimum. With no factory
nres and no kitchen or furnace fires, the
air will be as pure In the city as in the
country. Trees will have q chance.
Houses be warmed and lighted as easily
and cheaply as they are now supplied
with water.
A city will be a pretty nice place to
live In when the first years Of the twen-
tieth century are passed.
