mense hood over the drivers seat, and
back of it another case of handsomely
polished wood, which is used for the
supplementary mails.
Affixed to the dashboard is a large
gong, which gives a clear note of
warning as the motorman steers his
wagon in and out among the great
mass of vehicles of all sorts that are al
ways to be found on a London street.
The seat is the entire width of the
cart, which is, of course, .four-wheeled,
and the motorman supplies or with
draws the power by means of a small
lever not unlike the levers on the troll
leys in Greater New York. He works
this with his right hand and brake
with his left.
THE front wheels of the wagon are
small enough to swing under the body
of the vehicle. They work on pivot
and the wagon can be turned almost in
its own length. 1t is the facility with
which these wagons can be sent around
a corner or worked through winding
lane between lines of other wagons and
drays that makes the new motor car
valuable.
"It is believed their use will greatly
increase the efficiency of the London
city delivery"

WOULD DISGRACE HIM.
Strong Temperance Lecture Given
by Judge Sturgis While Decid-
ing Divorce Case.

The editor of the Concordia Kansan
tells cf a temperance lecture given by
Judge Sturgis while deciding a divorce
case before him. The divorce was asked
for by the wife on the ground of the
husbands habitual drunkenness.
The objection raised by the defend
ant was that the record of the divorce
would disgrace him. To this the judge
replied by saying that all of the court
records or all the newspapers in The
world could not possibly add to the
disgrace already heaped on the man by
his own act of getting drunk. Con-
tinuing, the Judge said He claims his
financial misfortunes have led him to
excess of drink. That is no excuse for
a man to get drunk. There is no ex-
cuse for drunkenness. If revcrSes or
troubles come, a man needs his best
judgment, his best vitality, his bright
est intellect to cope with his msfor-
tune and TO try to regain his lost adj
vantage. Why any man of ordinary in
tellect will place himself in such a con-
dition by his own acts as to merit the
contempt and loathing OF his best
friends and disgusting his ownwife and
children, is something | do not I'M
derstand. The drunken man excites the
same feeling in the mind OF the aver
age person as does a snake. We in
Stinctiyely bounce onto a snake and Kill
q or else Zee from it for fear of con-
taminatiOn. The person who volun-
tarily places himself in the condition
more lOathsOme than a snake, more dis
gushing than a brute, cannot be dis
graced by the record of this court in
this case. 1t was drunkenness that
brought about this condition of things
in this family, and it is on these grounds
the divorce is asked for and on which it
will be granted.
This man claims he has cult drink
ing. | hope he has, and | hope he will
keep steadfast in his determination to
abstain from it. WbaN this man is
sober he is always a gentleman; when
he is drunk he is not, neither is any
other man. We are all Disguised with
drunken man-what must be the
feelings of wife who is compelled to
live continually with drunkard? This
woman detests this man because of his
own acts. He is to blame and no one
else. If she persists in asking the di-
YOrce it will be granted"

Rewards of VictOrs.

BY curious coincidence the grant of
money given to Lord Kitchener by par
lament has been made a standard OF
comparison in two foreign countries,
by which the treatment melted out to
their own respective heroes of the mo-
ment may be judged. In both instances
the vehicle of this interesting COMPARE
son is the art of the cartoonist, and in
both cases the occasion is seized to il
lustrate what the artist takes to be ma
tional characteristics. In Paris, the
conQueror of the Soudan is represented
as the type of English money-grabbing
vulgarity. in contrast to the pure and
distinguished love OF la gloire and la
Patrie which distinguishes the French
man. Lord kitch ener appears in the
caricature of the Petit lllustre hugging
a coronet and Il bag containing 10000

to hold aloft the tricolor flag. In Amer

they had time to freeze, causing the
proper precipitation of rain instead of
hail.
Since 1896 the experiment of shoot
ing at the clouds with large mortars
set up perpendicularly on the noun
tain has been made and with uniform
success. All of the neighboring dis
tricts have suffered from the usual hail
storms, but in this place, Feistritz,
there has been nothing but rain. The
mortar is fastened firmly to an oaken
block. The funnel is about six feet
high. The load used is only rs grains
of powder, and this costs but five cents.
AS the mortar is fired a long rolling
echo follows, and after a few minutes
the clouds discharge their moisture in
the shape of gentle showers. In this
way the crops planted in the valley are
helped instead of being broken down
by hail, and the cost is trifling. The
success of these experiments has
aroused widespread interest, and per-
haps the weather sharps will be able
to learn how to gather the clouds, since
the problem of making them discharge
their contents may be considered
solved

SLEEVES IN SUMMER.
The Latest Are Made to Counter
balance Tightness of the
New Skirts.

Sleeves are becoming an objective
point in the costume. This is probably
due to the extreme tightness of the
skirts and the desire to increase the
width of the shoulders as a counter
balance. Plain sleeves are becoming
only in a perfectly-formed woman. and
hence the efforts of the modistes to in
troduce them have failed. Among the
sleeves seen on eight imported gowns,
the first sleeve is that of an apricot
colored satin. 1t is cut in a point upon
an epaulette of mousseline de sole. The
bottom is cut out in points upon puff
fling of mousseline. There is a vine of
embroidery at the top and at the hand.
The second sleeve is that of plain cash
mere gown, and is made elegant and be-
coming by tucks. The third sleeve is
that of wool challe. 1t is cut in two
plaits on each side under a rosette; the
top is open upon plating of mousse
line de sole, with small ruches. The
fourth sleeve is that of a silk popin
gown, with guipure insertion and
ruches of mousseline. The fifth belongs
to Il tailOr-made gown, and the sixth is
that of a mauve wool, cut into several
parts and fastened down by buttons.
The seventh sleeve is that of gray
poplinette gown, the edges finished
with rucheS of mouSseline de sole. The
last sleeve, of black satin, has the up
per part covered by guipure, which is
framed by loops of ribbon.
Sleeves will in the near future form
still more important part of the
gown than they do even now.
AS to the tight skirts, there is some
thing almost shocking about the
Swathing lines which now so unequiv-
ocally reveal the entire figure of a fash

OF course, this new skirt, fitted as it
