a Washington correspondent of the Phila-

at some models in the National Museum of
curious cars used In the early days of rail
reading in tins country, when Mr.. Watkins,
the curator, pointed out one particular one
that had mast and SAIL. Experiments with
such cars were. made on the Baltimore a
Ohio road and on the South Carolina road
1t was then serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be SAIL
iorse or steam. The steam locomotive
was still looked upon as an experiment
Sail cars are used to-day on n guano rail
-oad on the island of Maiden, in the south
Pacific. They are, in fact, used nearer
home than that, for railroad men at Bar
negat beach, when the wind is favorable,
frequently ride over the road on con
struction cars sloop-rigged "The wind

Fooled the Detective.

A detective in a well known retail
store is engaged in the mental process
of kicking himself whenever he thinks
of a certain transaction which took
place last week. AT time Of day when
the store was crowded the detective,
who was keeping sharp lookout for
evildoers, was approached by a we'll
dressed, intelligent looking man, who
informed him that he was employed as
detective in another store and had fol-
lowed shoplifter from his firms store
to the present place, where they would
find her at the glove counter stealing
gloves. let her alone" said the
strange detective. "and when she loads
UP l will follow her home and we can
then make a big haul" Consent was
given to this plan and the sEopliftcr
stole two or three hundred dollars
worth of goods unmolested. Then she
went out followed by the strange de-
tective. That was the last seen of the
pair, and the detective wonders how
on earth he was duped so easily

Cellars and Health.

In towns and the country alike 1t is
the dark corners, the neglected and
little-used places in a house, which
most frequently contribute to its un-
healthfulness, and in ways which are
the more insidious because so often
unsupported says the Diladelphia
North American. In this respect the
cellars of many houses have much to
answer for, for as a rule they are
dark and damp, with no direct rays
from the sun to kill the mephitic gases
which always seek low levels, and
no ventilation to dispense them, even
where the cellars themselves are not
made the repositories of cast-off ruD-
bish and vegetable refuse. The warn
ing. however, cannot be too often given
to look to it that the cellar is not neg
lected It's ceiling and walls should be
plastered and whitewashed where pos
sible, to keep them dry and clean,
and the occupants should prevent
their cellars from becoming places
where rubbish may be shot. The floors
should be well paved or cemented to
keep out carnations from the soil, and
where practicable they should be VEN
tilated by keeping open, in dry wealth
er, windows or doors communicating
with the outside air. They act slowly
but none the less surely. Frequently
they are not noticed at all, although
damp and mouldy cellars have UNI
doubtedly done much to undermine the
health of many families. This cellar
air is taken up through the rooms of
house gradually and in small
doses at time, produces an upward
current every time the cellar door is
opened and neglect in regard to this
matter Is sure to entail serious con-
sequences, because the real reason is
often overlooked.

FAMOUS CAVALRY CORPS.


In the celebrated corps known as the
Guides Cavalry esprit de corps is more
than word. 1t is living part of the
regiment. Even the last joined re-
cruit feels no punishment so deeply as
the reproach: " You do no credit to the
corps" and mature soldiers in very
shame voluntarily take their discharge
If so addressed by an officer.
Illustrative of the high value placed
on personal bravery in the guides as
against Babu-like knowledge of the
drill book, two interesting instances
may be mentioned. There was on the
Yusafzai border noted freelance
named Futteh Khan, who had a small
| following of horsemen as bold and in
| trepid as himself. Even the gallant
| and resourceful Sir Harry Lumsden,
with his guides, could not bring this
man to book, though oft he tried. At
last Lumsden struck at a unique solu
ton of the problem by deciding that he
would enlist Futteh Khan and the
whole of his band! Accordingly a po-
lite note was written saying that
Lumsden had the greatest respect for
the bravery and daring of Futteh Khan
and his band, and it was a pity that
they and the guides should continue n
bootless feud to the profit of neither,
and that he would make Futteh Khan
ressaldar and take over the whole of
his band as it stood! Futteh accepted
the offer and he and his men served
with distinction for many years with
the guides, taking part in the historic
vice before its walls.
The other incident occurred when
Sir Francis Jenkins was Colonel. The
guides, with other troops, having made
turning movement, dropped down
into Khyber Pass, in the rear of Ali
Musjid, so as to cut off the enemy's
retreat when the frontal attack should
be driven home. Among the first
batch oil the iugltives to coma up me
pass was a squadron of Afghan cav
airy, which, making a rush for IL,
managed, with some loss, to run the
gauntlet and get through. One man
alone was seen quietly walking his
defiantly waving his sword in the face
Of the heavy fire of 800 rifles. How
he came not to be hit was a marvel,
but Sir Francis Immediately ordered
the cease fire" to sound. The COLO
guy which ensued was delightfully."-

Colonel. Il am Sultan Jan kazilbash,
and l don't care box of grapes for

You are monstrously brave man,
anyway" said the Colonel, will you

said Sultan Jan, for have heard of
you and the guides as brave warriors"
And enlisted he was on the spot, male
a Duffadar there and then, and after
ward served with distinction through
the campaign. At the end of two years,
when the war was ever, he went to
his Colonel and said: Il am a man of
war, and cannot face all the drill and
monotony of an Indian cantonment in
peace time; with your highness per-
mission will now take my discharge
And away he went, freeman born, and
as such determined to declines Of
India.

Jack Albery and another man burst
into the room. Barraud's little scheme
was foiled. He saw it. and had the
good sense to give in quietly.
Their opportune arrival was brought
about in this way: Jack went down
to the club as arranged, and my mis-
sive was duly delivered to him. He
thought nothing of 1t, and proceeded
to the theatre In due course, but as the
time passed and l did not arrive, he
began to wonder what had happened.
Then, in feeling for sc netting in his
pocket, he CHANGED to pull out my note
again. This time he was surprised to
see some writing he had not noticed
on the previous occasion. 1t was the
card l had received at the concert.
I'm the hurry of the moment, when
pencilling my message, l must have
written on the back of that instead Of
my own card. He waited another few
minutes and then decided to come in
search of me, feeling sure that it was
no trivial affair which would keep me
from the theatre. For prudence sake
he had taken a companion, and they
arrived, as l have described, just in the
nick of time.
We'll, my friends, that is about all.
l was not anxious, as you may guess,
for the affair to become public prop
erty, and we let Barraud off, after
promising that he would clear out Of
the country and give up his murderous
intentions. However, | heard day or
two afterward that his brain had be-
come completely deranged and that he
was confined in a lunatic asylum.

Health Notes.

A good complexion depends largely
on the proper circulation of good Llood
throughout the body. Good blood de-
ponds on the assimilation of digested
food of the right quality.
Anything which interferes with the
proper circulation of the blood tends
to make the complexion poor; for ex-
ample. tight lacing, tight shoes, tight
neckbands and tight Wristbands. Many
cases of red nose are due to some form
of pressure.
Red hands, too, are often due 10
some impeachment in the circulation of
the blood; for example, tight gloves Of
ten produce redness and coarseness of
the hands. In early youth redness of
the hands Is as often as not due to i'm
peded circulation, and to their exposure
to cold winds after they have been
washed.
Where redness Of the hands proceeds
from a chapped skin-a very frequent
source of trouble-the remedy Is to dry
the hands very thoroughly, and to
strengthen and soften the cuticule by
means of glycerine rubbed on while the
hands are moist, and also of putting
on and wearing loose kid gloves. at
night.
Glycerine is a safer application than
vaseline, because vaseline increases
the growth of hair on the face and
hands.
A simple but effective remedy to re-
move the swelling and inflammation OF
a sprain which causes great pain con-
sists of three drops of turpentine and
the yolk Of an egg, beaten together
very thoroughly. Rub the sprained
part every morning and night with

something very learned and profound
and declare that they can find i'm
portant differences between the opium

poppy, but, for all practical purposes
the one is identical with the other
many a man who has eaten lettuce
knows how sleepy it causes him to be-
come an hour or so after dinner, and
the older the lettuce the greater the
sleepiness, for in mature lettuce the

OId-Fsshloned Watches Made In Curious
Shapes.

Shapes.
Since timepieces have come within
| the reach of everybody and watches are
made large enough for bicycle bars and
small enough for lady's ring, 1t Is
curiously interesting to recall some OF
the old-fashioned ones that served our
ancestors so well generations ago.
Even today some of us have caught q
glimpse of the portly old gentleman
whom Dickens loved to picture, with
his ornate seals, wide guard and enor-
capacious fob that was its resting
place, but like many other cumber-
some fashions, these respectable time
pieces are interesting now only as Gu
rios.
Long before our time or that of our
grandfathers watches were made in
such fantastic fashion that 1t is mar
vel that their owners managed to carry
them about.
No one seems to know the exact date
of the first timepiece, but the middle
Of the fifteenth century seems to have
been the period when portable clocks
began to appear. In the different col
lections of antiquaries there are few
specimens of the "Nuremburg eggs
or watches made in oval shape and
coming from the town after which they
were named.
In the possession of Lady Fitzgerald
of England, there was one watch which
was shaped like an eagle, which had
small boy on it's back. This odd orna-
ment was made to hint at the story Of
Jupiter and Ganymede. The breast Of
the bird opened to show the dial be-
meath it. and the works were most
deliberately ornamented. When the
fair owner of this treasure did not wish
to wear it on her girdle she placed
1t on her table.
Gold and silversmiths seem to have
let their fancy run rid during the six
teenth century and watches made in
the form of ducks, acorns, of cookie
shells and of all possible things made
their appearance. Most of them struck
the hour and one notable invention
fired a diminutive pistol at certain in
tervals.
When Henry ii. of France fell in
love with Diana of Poitiers-about 1541
she was widow and wore mourning.
OF course that offered an opportunity
to the extravagant courtiers Of the day
and the result was that all the orna-
ments at court were fashioned after
such gruesome ideas that the ridiculous
w>s close upon the sublime, to say the
least. Rings were formed like skele-
tons, tiny collins of gold were worn as
ornaments and they contained enam-
eled figures of death, but the most
striking products of the hour were the
watches, which dangled from fair
ladies' belts and which represented
grinning skulls, the tops of which
lifted to disclose the dial plate. Of
course the eyes were brilliant Jewels
and small fortunes were spent in the
elaborate ornamentation Of these fun
eral trinkets, and the people who wore
them have all passed away and since
1920, or Whereabouts, the fiat oval or
round timepiece has been the general
favorite.
Time does not go so Enthusiastically
with us as it did with those untutored
geniuses of earlier times. and perhaps
our plain, substantial watches tell us
much of our character as did those
bizarre inventions of earlier days about
men and women who wore them.
