Comte de Dion.s Transformation.

The way to make a useful citizen out of an idler is to give him a real inter- est in life. Comte de Dion, the promot- CT of the automobile in France where the new vehicle first attained popular ity, is, according to the Bicycling World, striking illustration of this truth. The comte was long the typical white carnation of the Paris aristoc- racy,a which means that he was a e'er-do-Well The merest accident sufficed to put him on the right track. One day he bought a miniature loco- motive for the little son of one of his friends, and carried the toy to the child But though they lighted the alcohol lamp and got up steam in the tiny boiler, for some reason the thing would not work. Comte de Dion is of stubborn disposition. He persisted, tried this cog and that, finally taking off his coat to work more at ease. He engine with no success. Then he car ried it homo and spent the night squat ting on the floor amidst an assortment Of screwdrivers, hammers and files he had bought on the way. The locomo- tive was taken completely apart and readjusted several times. At last, to- ward daybreak, the young count had the satisfaction of seeing the toy travel merrily around the room. Having thus discovered within him a taste and an aptitude for mechanics, Comte de Dion did not return to his idling, but studied until he became an engineer. It was at this period that he showed remark able business perspieaeity in investing all his capital in the automobile indus try At time when everybody was deriding the first clumsy machines, that spurted and shied and then re- fused to budge for hours, he under stood the possibilities of the motor car and resolute1y cast his lot with it's fortune. It is generally acknowledged that no man in France has done so much to further the cause of the new locomotion.

Chickens in Haiti.

The natives call the island "Eye-te. ' Nearly every one I have met who can speak English at all drops the "h' and picks it up after the manner of the London eostermonger and his cousins, the eoekneys and 'Arry boys. Apples in Eye-te are happles. It is a great chicken country, the variety of poultry depending entirely on the color of the complexion of the incoming president. If he be yellow. the "yaller legged Dominique is permitted to thrive alone in his glory Every black-legged chicken is killed, and any person caught harboring one is bound te suf- fer. On the other hand, if the presi- dent black, only black-legged poul- try Is in fashion The "yaller-legs" are destroyed. Similar conditions pre- vail in santo Domfngo.-Yictor Smith, in New York Press.

A queer story has reached London about the "eard-playing duchess, " whose fondness for the card table has earned her that appellation.
