not give them. Eventually these charters will

The Bazin roller boat, which it was
promised would do such wonderful
things in the way of speed, has now
been put through it's trials, and, as
is now generally known, has been
found wanting, is a lamentable failure,
and furnishes yet another instance of
the enthusiasm of an inventor seeking
to override the ascertained possibilities
of mechanical effort. Instead of a
speed of twenty knots, as anticipated,
only eight knots has been attained
and this Notwithstanding that the
power exerted was very considerab bly,
in excess Of that anticipated in the ORR
ginal designing of the engines. NJ.
Bazin, in addition to having to suffer
the agonies of defeat and to put up
with the jeers and taunts of many of
his countrymen, has now also to meet
the charge of plagiarism, several
French contemporaries having pointed
out that his scheme was anticipated,
although there were slight differences
in actual design of the "rollers" and
the method Of propelling them.

Cucumbers and no.che,.

"Housekeepers like to be reminded
now and them remarked a well-known
lady to Washington Star reporter, "of
lots of little things in connection with
their affairs. 1t is not that they do not
know of them themselves, but with the
thousands of other little things to re-
member they forget. 1t is for that rea-
son that would like to remind them
that cucumbers are the most effective
destroyers of reaches of anything that
l know of. 1t is not necessary to cut
up the cucumbers, for the ordinary
trimmings from them when being pre-
pared for the table will suffice. Simply
scatter the peel or trimmings about
in the places where the reaches are
seen. The roach eats them and there
by ends his existence. In case the
roach does not feel hungry enough the
first night and the cucumber is not
sufficiently attractive throw the trim
mings into the stove the next morning
and set out fresh lot the next night
The green coloring matter that kills
the reaches is the same thing that
makes cucumbers so annoying at times
to the human family"

LOVERS OF THIRTY YEARS WE'D
Indiana Boasts Bright Example I
Constancy and Devotion.


A bright example in constancy and
filial devotion is afforded in the expert
ence OF a couple recently welded in
Liberty township, Indiana, the newly
married pair being Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Foreman, who reside on their 4OO-acre
farm near Greentown. In point of age
both bride and groom have passed the
half-century mark. Though lovers
from early childhood and betrothed
from youth, the marriage was deferred
until now, the engagement covering
period of thirty years. Young Fore
man had stepmother to whom he was
greatly attached, and to whom he
solemnly pledged to support during her
lifetime, promising not to marry while
she remained alive. Contrary to ex-.
pectations, the invalid and dependent
stepmother lived until a year or more
ago. During this long wait of nearly
third Of a century the lovers scrupul-
ously observed their VOWS, toiling on
through the years without a thought
of disregarding the pledges given the
stepmother or breaking faith in any
manner whatever. They grew gray,
lived frugally, saved their earnings and
patiently bided their time. When
death removed the barrier, the lovers
had accumulated sufficient means to
buy the largest farm in the township.
The minister first engaged to perform
the marriage ceremony died of old
age many years ago, and a divine of
new generation officiated at the long
delayed wedding.-Chicago Times Her.

Objections to X RAYS.

M. Guillaume criticises very forci-
bly, the project of custom-house Off
GERS making their examinations by
means of x rays. He supposes the
case of a traveller, we'll informed on the
subject, who packs in his trunk a box
of tobacco, some new garments, some
necklaces, and gunpowder not con-
tanned in cartridges. The trunk will
not be suspected, as the X rays show
none of these. But if tourist bring
back precious collection of undevel-
oped negatives, after journey of some
months, few minutes exposure to the
tube will thoroughly spoil them all. If
arms or jewels are disclosed the rays
will not show whether the former are
prohibited or the latter brought in
fraudulently. The screen will not re-
veal whether bottles contain liquors
forbidden by law.
