A Splendid Present.

In one of the dormitories presented
by the three children Of Waldorf As
tori Of the home at Bath, the bedsteads
are brass, the window-panes of loaded
glass and the hangings are of pretty
lowered cretonne, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. The room is
ns dainty as a rich child's nursery.
When little girls are brought into this
room for the first time they invariably
stand In the doorway, looking around
admiringly, bnt not seeming TO realize
that this is where they are to sleep.
Many of these children have never
slept on any kind Of a bedstead before,
and the letters and postcards they send
home next morning usually contain al
lusions TO the gold beds"

AN ECCENTRIC INVENTOR
worked In Secret for T~htrty-rtvs
Years on Perpetual Motion
Machine.

The sale of the effects OF the late
Jesse Horn, an eccentric farmer living
In the F~latwoods district, will doubt
less attract a very large crowd of the
curious. says a Rome (Ga.) correspond
ent Of the st. Louis Republic. Among
the things listed for the sale is one per
petual motion machine. For IS years
Horn worked every spare moment on
his machine. often working feverishly
far into the night, He guarded his Sc
cret and his machine ~zealously, keeping
IL in a stout clubhouse, the key to which
was never out Of his sight for an in
slant. Not even a member OF the fam
lily was ever permitted TO gaze on the
precious work OF his brain. and he died
with the secret locked in his heart. But
the machine is advertised to sell at
public cutlery, and a large number will
be attracted TO the sale.

Poole got the machine fixed to his lik.

himself outward, but, instead Of sail

COST OF THE CUP DEFENDER.
The American Racing Yacht Has
Cost Its O,vners - Handsome
Fortune.

A correspondent of the Army and
Navy Journal having applied TO 1t for
information on the subject, hat paper
that the cost of the building
of the Columbia has been ~variously esti-
mated at from $1,000 to $3.50, 200 and
for the Shamrock at from $780, 600 to
100000. 1t then adds:
"a summary of the cost of the Sham
rock, based on estimates from various
sources, is as follows: Construction
and rig, 100000; pay roll officers and
men, including sailmakers and car
penters $50 mem, for four months at
average of $40, s12,s00; provisions for
men and officers at IS a week for Is
weeks, $1,000; clothing for crew, 81 900;
for dry docking twice, 5000; tender at
$3.50 a day for 60 days, $4,000; tugboat
at 500 n day for 60 days, $4,000; derrick
and lighter services, $500; lighter for
storage OF spars for six weeks, 5000;
freight for spars and sails by steamer,
$500; passage for 80 workmen, riggers,
etc, $500; general expenses, Incl.
dentals. etc, $1,000; total, S242, 800. II
the special services of the designer, Mr..
Fife, and of Sailmaker Ratsey, who
came to this country, are a charge
against the account the sum would, of
course, be so much augmented. Re-
capitulation shows that the Erin and
Shamrock represent a first cost of
s725, 900. The cost of running the Erin
increases the expenses to Ss75, 600"

QUAINT DOLL HEADS.
some OF Metal Included Nowadays In
the variety Supplied to the
Dealers.

Years ago doll heads were made OF
wood, carved out by hand, and great
numbers of dolls were sold that were
entirely of wood, with jointed arms and
legs. Some dolls of this sort, looking
quaint enough now, though they were
once so common, are still sold, but the
great bulk of the dolls now made have
bodies of cloth or leather, with heads of
china, bisque, or papier-mache. There
are also nov dolls heads of metal,
these heads being made Of brass In two
parts, stamped out with dies and
joined together.
In the process by which these heads
are made, many dies are used in the
production of IA single head, the metal
being worked To It's final shape gradual
ly. The first die makes but "A barely
perceptible impression upon the piece
of sheet metal from which the head is to
Ice formed. The next shapes it "A little
more; and so on by pressure from sue
c%essiVe dies, each II little more sharp
ly defined, the head Is brought finally
10 its perfect form. These heads are
made In various sizes, and in various
styles as to details of finish. They cost
about the same as the best bisque
heads; but ont Of the merits claimed
for them is indestructibility.

COST OF LIVING.
A Comparison Of the various Capitals
of Europe shows Vienna 90 lie
the Cheapest.

An investigation into the compare
tive cost Of living at the various Euro
pean capitals resulted in the following
facts: At Vienna the prices Of most
articles of food are lowest; At Madrid
they are dearer than in any other cap
ital, and such things as bread, meat,
sugar and coal are very expensive in
deed. At ST. Petersburg also the price
of bread is still considered a luxury
above the means OF the working classes.
Next To Vienna brussels is an ineXpen-
sive city; Paris is u little higher in the
scale, while London is still more eN-
pensive. An American spends on an
average $50 a year for food, a French
man s4s, a German si5, a Spaniard
1873, an Italian s2i and q Russian
$40. OF meat the American eats
lO9 pounds a year, the Frenchman
81 pounds, the German GO pounds,
the Italian y pounds and the
Russian 81 pounds, OF bread the Amer
lean consumes $50 pounds, the French
nan $40 pounds, the German 500
pounds, the Spnuiard $50 pounds, the
Italian 900 pounds and the Russian 65i
pounds. Outside of Europe, in times of
peace, Manila is cheaper to live in than
any other city Ia the world.

COCKROACH RACES
New York Men who net Heavily on
speed Contests between
the Insects

Cockroaches furnish excellent sport
when raced. At least one man in New
York makes a business Of this pastime,
and those who have attended his ex-
hibitions in a long room on the top
foor OF an east side building care no
more for poker or horse racing. roulette
or faro bank, says the New York Press.
Two tin troughs. with vertical sides,
so feet long, constitute the course. The
enthusiastically large Croton bugs
being started at one end, sprint to the
other, the one arriving first capturing
the stakes and his hackers all the
money. IL is no remarkable circum-
stance for 1000 to change hands in an
hour. Men have trained reaches, which
they enter against all corners. One is
named Longstreet, after the Dwyer
horse, and he is a whopper, about three
inches long. l believe he holds all rec
ords, and needs To be heavily handi-
capped now. When he gets under way
he touches the ground only in the high
places. The handicapping is done by
sprinkling fine sand in the trough, the
deeper the sand the more difficult the
progress. Any number of troughs and
racers may be arranged, but il is Diff
cult for the eye to keep track Of more
than two thoroughbreds at a time.

HORNETS.
Boys Who would Attack Them
should Proat by "a
Valuable Advice.

Boys who propose to lombard hor-
nets nests may find valuable informa-
ton in the description, by Henry
Laney, in the Scientific American, of
the way these insects defend their
homes. There is always IA sentinel in
watch at the entrance, and when "A one
is thrown at the nest, "the hand that
threw il has been marked AS sure as
the sun shines, and before the attack
ing party can turn the head he will
feel a stunning blow on the forehead,
and possibly drop to the earth with
pain, for the hornet flies with such We
locity hat the human body is not swift
enough in movement to get out of the
way"
In making such a charge, Mr.. Laney
says, the hornet flies with head and
tail together" and the sting is driven
deep. But IL the boy gets behind a tree
or bush, and throws from shelter, he is
likely TO escape, because the hornet
seems to possess little power of locating
the enemy at sight. When the delivery
of a stone is followed by . successful
charge, Mr.. Laney thinks, IL is because
the hornet possesses "the faculty Of
marking the direction of "a missile
thrown AT the nest"

EXPRESSIVE AMERICANISM.
a Pe~ui,arity which an Intelligent
Tailor IN Londoa Failed to
Understand.

"When I go over to the old country
I am going to get . lot OF clothes to
bring back with me" said a ~well-known
Windsorite who went abroad recently,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
oh" said his hearer, "if that is the
case. | have n brother who il n tailor
in London, and ! will give you a letter
Of introduction, and write him telling
him to use you right"
In course Of time the traveller stepped
into the tailor shop in London and pre-
scented his letter OF introduction. He
got n warm handshake from the tailor,
who said he had received n letter from
his brother telling him of the travellers
expected arrival, but could not under
stand part of the letter. The letter,
when produced, read:
Dear Brother: The bearer, Mr.,
is from our place and wishes to get n
lot of clothes in London. lie has all
sorts OF money. Soak him. Yours af-
~fectionately."
The part of the letter that could not
be understood was the concluding
phrase. The traveller of course under
stood the Americanism, but managed
to keep his face straight while he gave
IL IA favorable construction. He saved
the laugh until he could have it on his
American friend.
