VIA PNEUMATIC TUBE.
The Way Dinners May Be Served in
the Near Future If We So
/ Desire 1t.

An inventor has worked out scheme
by which restaurant company, or a
municipal kitchen like that at Grenoble,
France, could supply any number of
patrons with hot dinners via pneuma tic
tube, and do away at the same time
with dish washing in the home, says the
Philadelphia Times. ..
The idea is to lay pneumatic SUBJ
way from the manufacturing kitchen
or restaurant, with branches to the
dining-rooms of patrons. At the proper
points valves worked by electricity
from the restaurant shut off the tube
ahead and divert the vessels travelling
in the tube to the house for which they
were intended. .~.. ...
/ The various edib1es, including soups,
dessert, etc., are to be inclosed in air
tight metal balls, enameled in different
and pleasing colors. These balls will
have tops that unscrew, and each pa
tron will be provided with proper tool
to .unscrew his dinner. He will then set
the lids to one side, place the pretty
circular dishes made of the lower
halves in wire or other stands on his
dining-room table, and proceed to dine.
After each meal he will screw the
covers on again, drop the balls, with all
refuse, back into a return pneumatic
tube, and light his cigar in peace, with
no worry about dish washing, and moth
ing else to do but pay the bills.

CATNIP FOR THE CATS.
1t Was the Means of Making a Young
Man Of Boston Popular with
the Felinee.

Speaking of cats, young man living
in East Lexington has become the Rene
factor of several downtown Toms, who.
having passed their lives in office build
ings, never tasted the Intoxicating cat
nip. He is great friend of cats in gen
erall, and when he began work in the
city the first thing he noted was the
useful animals that prowled around the
corridors, patrolling for rats, relates
the Boston Herald. So this young man
from East Lexington took pity on their
condition by filing his pockets with
fresh catnip and freely distributed it
among the crowd on arriving at his
place of business. The effect was in
stantaneous. The Pied Piper of Ham
elm was nowhere. Such an experience
these creatures may have t.reamed, but
had never realized, and some nearly had
fits, the herb was so in toxicating, while
others vainly tried to express their
gratitude for, the kind attention.
Therefore, don't forget the downtown
business cat. Recollect he needs his
salad as much as the human being
See that he has some grass to eat now
and then, and a little catnip to cheer
him up when times are hard. -

Comedy is not confined to the stage.
A Second avenue belle who graduated at
an eastern seminary has former school
chum visiting her. It goes for the say
ing that they are carried back to the
days Of their comradeship and having
lots OF fun. says the Detroit Free Press.
The other evening after dinner the
visitor threw on the cape and hat of her
hostess just to run to the nearest store
and procure a supply of bright ribbon
she wanted to complete her wardrobe
for a party that night. AS she neared
the house on her return the dusk was
deepening and she was startled at the
approach of a gentlemanly looking
young man who lifted his hat and said,
pleadingly: Cant you walk for just
five minutes, little one7" +
She 'sprang past him with a scream
and rushed for the front door, from
which emerged on the run the father
and brother of the chum. The youthin
front took to his heels and there was, q
stern chase covering several . blocks.
The old gentleman examined the tracks
in the snow the next morning and
vowed that the william" must have had
wings, as he only touched the pave
ments at street crossings. 60 /
Both the laughing girls knew by this
time that the fleeing youth was the resi-
dent girls favored beau. who was not
in the good graces of the father and had
to carry on a catch-as- can courtship.
That hat and that cape misled him.

"You won't mind it, hope, if I for

A Race Of Hornless Cattle May Soon

Civilization is nsforming nature in
surprising ways. The dehorning of
cattle is an example, as the practice is
gaining favor SO rapidly that hornless
cattle may be expected soon to become
the rule rather than the exception.
The first objections were that it is
cruel and unnatural. The early method
of dehorning with saw was undoubt-
edly slow and painful, but specially
constructed clippers are now used that

operation is really humane, the fire.
quent injuries in herds from goring be-
ing prevented. The horns have become
utterly useless, being no longer needed
as protection against natural enemies.
In calves less than three weeks old the
embryo horns can be removed with one
stroke of sharp knife, or they can
be treated with a caustic sufficiently
powerful to destroy them. ~
For three years the Maine expert
ment station has dehorned calves by
rubbing the horns four or. five times
with caustic potash. In every case but
one the operation has been successful,

reached the age of IS days before treat

horns an inch or an inch and a half long

GOODNESS OVER THE FLAG.
Flung to the Breese IN the Night, II
Sent Terror to Z: Friends 81
G#s sE s5sf@a # Heart. !sBs 7. a3 nj S

|S There IS q painful GOODNESS between
two women who live in q big apartment
house uptown, and an American flag is
at the bottom Of it. The flag is huge
affair, made Of. bunting. The woman
who owns it says in extenuation that
her husband bought it, and that you
know how men are about buying things.
1t came home late: one evening last
week, and its patriotic owner insisted
on f1inging it to the breeze at once, that
it might wave all night. Accordingly
the pole was fixed to the window Sill,
and Old Glory streamed out into the
night, says the Washington Post. ~.
The woman who occupies the apart
ment Immediately under the window
from which the flag hung is a very nerv-
Gus person. That night she was awak-
ened by soft, swishing sound against
the window. It was like the rustic of a
garment, and the nervous woman
t thought first of burglars and secondly
Ct ghosts. She was afraid to get out of
bed to look out Of the window, but she
huddled up with her back to the wall
and shivered the night away. ~
Again and again she was sure she
heard soft, ghostly fingers at the VIM
dow. She could feel her hair turning
white. She says she didn't sleep wink.
After 80 or 40 hours, she says, morning
came, and she ventured to the window
and raised the blind. There hung the
flag, Tipping against the window with
every breeze.
The nervous woman is courageous by
daylight. She drew table to the win
dow climbed upon it, pulled the win
dow down from the top, and, reaching
out as far as she could, calmly proceed
ed to cut the end of the flag off. The
woman who owns it says that anybody
who would mutilate her country's flag
is traitress, and the woman who did
1T says that some people haven't the
sense they ought to have been born
with, and, as began by saying, there is
marked GOODNESS up at that apartment
house.

to the tenderfoot who was sojourning
in the hills of southwestern Missouri,
says the Detroit Free Press.
''You just get on and try him and
if you don't like him don't buy him.
He may be a bit spry and playful, but
that's cause he's been in the stable
over a week.
The tenderfoot sprang to the saddle
and what happened thereafter he only
dimly remembered. The horse reared;
then he came down on all tours, with
his legs as stiff as o sawhorse. Having
repeated this operation half a dozen
times, he sprang forward and covered'
good section of the country at a 2:01
gait, with no running mate, either. He
reared, leaped, plunged and finally made
his way back to the starting point, made
as if to roll over and then dived for the
stable door, leaving the horseman dazed,
dumb and limp in a bush near the road
side. The owner helped the would-be
purchaser to his feet, Strengthened him
out and damned his battered hat on
his head.
what kind-kind of a horse do you
call that?" gasped the tenderfoot.

THIS Ii A Eff. EnENCE.

Story to Prove That intellectually
: II Not the Only Distinction. -
Most persons think that the chief diff
ference between mems and women's
clubs is that the one is intellectually in
clined and the other isn't. But there are
other distinctions. At what organiza-
ton of men could the following incident
have taken place? asks the New York
Sun. 1t was at a gathering of feminine
clans the other afternoon and some
body, with that delightful irresponsi-
bility common to such occasions, wanted
to know the time.
''You see, I forgot and left my watch
at home," she added regretfully, if not
officially. "Why, so did leave mine,"
piped up the president, not to be out
done in informality. $50 did I, $50
did l." chimed in the secretary and the
treasurer, while the chairman of the
executive committee announced grave
ly: mine was all ready to put on, but
I came off in such hurry that forgot
it after ALL" 90
. All this while, however, the first vice
president had been tugging away at her
belt in a business like way, and she
now produced small timepiece. ''La-
dies" she began, in virtuous tone,
while all the rest gazed at her with the
utmost respect, .'let me give you the
time. You can always depend upon"
But here she stopped, and, after staring
at the timepiece for full two seconds,
she began to shake it and rap it in
manner that might have alarmed any
one unfamiliar with women and their
ways with watches. . IT,.
The gathering before her, however,
being of her own sex, took it all most
seriously. Suddenly the first vice presi-
dent put the timepiece to her ear. "Oh,"
she cried, while sweet smile Of salts
faction irradiated her face, 'there's
nothing the matter, after all. wound
it this morning, but forgot to set it,

Exploration Party Discovers New
Wondess on the Island.
A scientific exploration party in
charge of Prof. Agassiz recently paid q
visit to the Fiji islands, making some
discoveries of much general interest,
reports the Japan Gazette. At Maram-
DO they located an extinct volcano, open
on the north side. Dotted over the sur
face Of the water in the crater were
numerous mushroom-shaped rocks, and
the water itself in the light of burn
ing sun revealed to the visitors hitherto
unknown beauties of color. At Toloya
a crater of an extinct volcano was
found, into which the steamer could
enter and sail around. Here, as in other
places, the visitors were entertained
with . "mii, miki, " which seems to be
something in the nature of corro-
bores. .1&.4EE .sss
In the various lagoons visited dredg-
