Trade d, Devices on Wheels q.

Various iapiliar articles of trade are
used as models for the bodies Of delivery
wagons. OF these the trunk is perhaps
the most commonly used. Wagons made
with the body in the semblance of a big
trunk may be seen in many cities, the de-
livery wagons Of the dealers in trunks and
kindred articles. Perhaps the next most
familiar is the wagon with the body in the
form of a great hat the delivery wagon of
a halter. Another form not unfamiliar is
that of the great shoe, made of metal. and
mounted on wheels and used as the deliy-
cry wagon of shoe dealer Like the great
hat, the shoe may be painted or all gilded.
All OF these devices have seat outside,
in front, and they have door at the rear
end. The shoe is mounted on the running
part, with the toe to the front The driv-
er's seat is over the tip of the toe or in
front OF it. The door by which parcels are
got in and out of the wagon is in the heel
OF the great shoe at the back.
A wagon used for the delivery of pack
ages from a laundry has a body in the
form OF a great wash boiler Perhaps the
latest of these trade devices on wheels is
shown in wagon used for the delivery Of
a proprietary article that is sold in liquid
form. In this case the wagon body is in
the shape of great bottle.-New York

TWO GIRL SCHEMERS.
Why the Old Officers Were Chosen Unani-
mously for Second Terms.

81 expect you had an awful time at the
election last night" said the girl who
hadn't attended the annual meeting, s'for
I heard that nearly all the girls wanted to
be president and that there was going to
be a terrible fight"
"There wasn't" explained the presi-
dent sweetly, mot bit of trouble, and
all the old officers were reelected too.
You see, wanted to be president myself
this year, and Alicia Brown wanted to
stay in office, too, SO we fixed up q little
plan between us, and it was famous sue
cess
'What did you do? Hurry up and tell
me'' the other girl exhorted her excitedly.
How on earth did you manage it?"
The president smiled happily.
"Oh, Alicia and 1 talked it over before
hand" she said, land just as soon as the
meeting was called to order and before the
girls had got through talking she made a
motion that the Oldest girl in the club be
made president always, and Lucille Hicks
seconded it. She wanted to be secretary
again, you see. So put the motion, or
the question or whatever it was, and
Alicia and Lucille said Yes very loud, and
all the other girls did the same without
understanding what it was all about in
the least. My, but some of them were
mad afterward, thought
What happened then?" asked the other
girl. "Did they all tell their ages under
protest."
mo indeed, not bit of it, y responded
the president smiling again. II just
knew they wouldn't. When they found
out what it meant, they wouldn't say a
word, SO Alicia got up again and moved
that all the old officers be elected over
again unanimously. And every girl In
the room shouted Yes They were glad
of any way out of the difficulty. Chi

Gray hairs are honorable no doubt, but
their advent is not usually hailed with
any exuberant joy by men and certainly
not by women, and it is curious to note
in going through life at what varying ages
people commence to show the passage OF
years by the change in the color OF the
halr. And yet the whitening OF the mar
does not always portend the approach OF
age, Tor the hair of some individuals Ia
porlng under certain passions has peen
known to become gray in a single nlght'
Many reasons have been suggested for gray
halr. Some assert that the cause is con-
traction of the skin about the roots or IL,
and from this cause suppose that polar
ANIMALS become white, the cold operating
as tne contracting power, but this theory
Is untenable, or we might all turn gray II
we happened to be exposed to particularly
nara 1rosts. AS a matter of fact, there
are lever gray people in Russia than IN
sunny Italy or Arabia. The more likely
reason Is that the vital power is lessened
III tne extreme raInifcations of those al
most lmperceptible vessels destined to
supply the hair with coloring fluid The
vessels Which secrete the fluid cease to act,
or else the absorbent vessels take it away
faster than it is furnished. This certainly
appears to be feasible, for grief, debility,
fright, fever and age all have the effect OF
iessenlng the power of the extreme vessels.
Against this theory it may be urged that
the BODY be again invigorated the YES
sells ought according to our reasoning, to
again secrete the coloring fluid, but to
inns 1t may be replied that the vessels
Whlch secrete this fluid are so very minute
that upon their ceasine their functions
they become obliterated and nothing can
ever restore them.-New York Ledger.

The best Paris models are always char
acterized by simplicity of style. The color
and texture Of the material are carefully
considered, and the cut and fit infinitely
attended to, which is all the more neoes-
sary If the gown is a simple one. The
model illustrated above, which is made
by the Maison Beer in Paris, is of green
serge. Directions for cutting the shirt
waist and sleeves are given in the tissue
paper patterns sold by Harper's Bazaar,

the front of the waist and shirt and

ABOUT MEMS TRUNKS.
Including Some That Are Put to Inter
esting Special Uses.

The American still prefers decidedly to
get his baggage into as compact form as
possible. There are made, however, now
adays mems trunks that are models Of
convenience. They have places for every
thing, place for dress suit and com
partments for other suits, compartment
for hats and another for shoes. a placs for
shirts and place for neckwear. division
for dressing case, and so on. In such a
trunk man could carry everything be
might require for wear on either business
or social occasions and in supply sufficient
for a trip of some duration.
He would have also a number of travel
ing bags of different sizes, a dress suit case
and other trunks, all these for use as they
might be needed. If he went in for hunt
ing, for instance he would have a trunk
to carry his guns and his hunting outfit,
but the general fact remains that the aver.
age American likes to get his baggage into
the most compact form possible and this
smallest number of pieces.
There are, however, men who do not
thus limit themselves who, for example,
carry their shirts in a case especially made
for the purpose. Shirt cases are made of
sole leather and to carry one dozen or two
dozen shirts each Shirt cases are still a
decidedly exceptional article of baggage,
but manufacturer of fine trunks and
travelling equipments said that he had
made more shirt cases this year than evel
before.
Some men also carry their boots and
shoes for riding and walking in trunks
made especially for that purpose, with sep
arate compartments for each pair. There
are men living in various cities and towns
outside Of New York, some of them hun
dreds of miles away, who not only buy
their shirts here, but who send them back
here regularly to be Numbered. This is
done here better than anywhere else in the
country, for the simple reason that the
best laundry workers are found here.
Some men who send their shirts to New
York to be Numbered buy here trunks
made especially for the purpose and hold

It's sad thing when the mother comes
down sick with overwork or worry, or be-
cause some little weakness or disease has
been neglected until it gets to be alarming.
1t should never be allowed to get to this
