Aristocratic Feminine ,SmuggIers.

American women going home for the
fall have one terrible bugbear to face,
the customnouse people at the other side.
Time was when if they wore their new
London and Paris clothes they could pass
them on their return. Now, alas, all inn
ported garments are taxed, except in
cases where the wearer has been in Eu-
rope for years Only 500 worth is al
lowed, and that would not cover the
gloves of dressy American.
A device has been thought out which
may work all right, but cannot be recon-
mended on the ground of honesty. a
clever maid sent home for all the tabs
bearing the American dressmakers' and
tailors' names and addresses on her mis-
tresses' old clothes and sewed them over
those of the Londoners and Parisians
who made the new garments. Suppose
this little stratagem does succeed it is
certain that the names of the London
and Partisan artists will reappear OH the
clothes when they are displayed to their
owners circle of feminine friends and
acquaintances.-Londo Telegraph.

The Best of Service Will Be Pro-
~ vided.
The needs of the inner man will be
well attended to at the Pan-American
Exposition to be held at Buffalo from
May to Nov. 1, 1901. At some exposi-
lions a great mistake has been made
by not providing for good restaurants,
where satisfactory meals could be OBJ
tanned at reasonable prices. Either the
food obtained has not been Of good
quality or prices charged have been ex-
orbitant or the facilities in some par
ticulars have been inadequate to the
occasion.
There will be good restaurants in diff
ferent parts of the grounds Of the Pan
American Exposition, so that it will
not be necessary for visitors to go out
side Of the grounds to secure a good
meal, we'll served, at a moderate price.
All tastes will be suited in the services
rendered, for there will be places
where meals will be served on an
elaborate plan to suit the most fas-
tidiOuS taste and where prices will be
in proportion to those charged at
high class restaurants in large cities.
There will be other places where the
meals will be cheap, but the food appe-
tiZing and healthful and the surround
ings clean. There will be restaurants
in the beautiful building at the en-
trance to the Midway, another in a
similar building at the entrance to the
Stadium, another in the Electric Tow
err, which will be one of the great CEN
tiers Of interest on the Exposition
grounds, and another on the Midway.
Refreshments will also be served in
the Temple Of Music, which may be en-
joyed by visitors at the same time that
they are listening to the concerts in
progress in the auditorium. There will
also be New England kitchen, Ger
man restaurant, Mexican restaurant,
an italian restaurant and other places
where, various kinds of refreshments
will be served.

INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP.
A Most ImprtOant Feature in the
Welfare of a Nation.

The hero of the future is the captain of
industry, not the captain of armies. The
struggle is to produce the most, and
most cheaply-not to destroy the most
and most quickly. The strong nation
is the one whose manufactures and
whose merchant marine reach farthest
in supplying the needs Of the peoples, and
return best laden with the needed goods
of other lands. The keynote of success
the secret of power, is ecOnomy-econo-
my in production, in methods, in man.
agement. The vast growth of manufac-
turing establishments must be met by
adequate growth and adjustment in adj
ministration. Organization must re-
place the individual supervision and con-
troll which was sufficient even to the
great works of half century ago.
In the study Of works management lies
the highway to larger success and wider
influence than the material conditions of
the past ever made possible. Before en-
gineers and managers lies the duty of
meeting the cOnditions-and the other
great duty of using their influence and
their power in the affairs of the nation.
so that justice and wisdom may govern
the state at home and abroad. The task
is a responsible one. but home and for
eign politics have proved, during the year
just closing, the triumphant success
which follows when the industry and
commerce of the country speaks clearly
to it's rulers.-Engineering Magazine

A Musical Christmas Tree.

The musical Christmas tree is the lat
est. You wind it up, and it revolves
slowly and plays a tune. 1t does it in
a dignified manner. 1t is no ragtime,
cakewalk affair, but a very CHEEKY, tink-
ling little melody that is sure to please
the youngsters and send them into &C.
stasies: The revolving of the tree, too,
is a clever idea, for thus all sides are
brought around for inspection
New ornaments for the Christmas tree
appear every season. Pretty little vases
come this year in bright colors, all till
sel-decked and in them one can arrange
any manner of gay. decoration desired.
Then there are miniature Japanese lam
terms, only they are not Of paper, but of
that peculiar rosy composition that looks
like candy. They, too, have their tim
sci. The Christmas tree Of the closing
year Of the Nineteenth century is very
wonderful thing, indeed.-Philadelp

Gold Mine on a Roof.

Down in the heart of Wall street is a
placer mine Uncle Sam has worked with
profit for many years. 1t is on the roof
of the government assay office. During
the refining process much gold is carried
out through the chmineys with the
smoke. Immediately on reaching the cold
air, however, it falls to the roof in yellow
powder. Being so heavy, rain cannot
wash it away, and at stated intervals
men sweep the roof carefully returning
the sweepings to the assay Office Fed
eral watchmen jealousy guard the roof

SOLD HIS WIFE FOR So.
Market Value OF Indiana Woman as
Developed in Divorce Suit.

Laporte Ind, Dee. 14-Mrs Mary G..
Albertson of Michigan City, this state, in
a suit for divorce, charges that her bus
band sold her to William Dennis of the
same city for So This was the price
asked by her husband, and after some
hagglng she alleges that Dennis paid
the money, and since then she has been
doing housework for her new lord and
master.
In her complaint she also alleges that
her husband attempted to kill her with q
razor, but was prevented by her brother.
Then it occurred to him that she had u
market value and he offered to sell her,
putting the price at So.
Heretofore the woman has made no
complaint, fearing that if she objected to
the bargain and was turned back by her
purchaser her husband would carry out
his original project Of killing her.

THE NIGHT SLEEPING.

"a Christmas Hymn.)
Softly the night is sleeping
On Bethlehem'S peaceful hill:
Silent the shepherds watching,
The gentle tiockS are still.
But bark! the wOndrous music
Falls from the opening sky;
Valley and cliff re-echo
Glory to God on high.
Chorus
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God! it rings again,
Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Day in the east is breaking;
Day DER the crimsoned earth:
Now the glad world is waking,
Glad in the Savior's birth!
See where the clear star bendeth
Over the manger blest:
See where the infant Jesus
Smiles upon Mary's breast!
Come with the gladstone shepherds.
Quick hastening from the fold:
Come with the wise men, pouring
incense and myrrh and gold.
come to Him, poor and lowly;
Around the cradle thrOng:
Come with your hearts of sunshine,
And sing the angels song.
Weave We the wreaths unfading,
The fir-tree and the pine: 82f7ea
Green from the SHOWS of winter.
To deck the holy shrine:
Bring We the happy children.
For this is Christmas morn;
Jesus, the sinless infant,
Jesus, the Lord, is born.

The Science of Eatinx.

At recent meeting of medical men
DR.. F. A. Burial spoke of the amount
of mischief done by the very common
habit OF eating the meals rapidly.
Thorough mastication was of the ut
most Importance, and, of course, this
presupposed proper condition of the
teeth. Gastric digestion was often
weakened and much distress was
caused by taking in too much fluid
with the food, particularly at the be-
ginning of meal. Another factor in
causing dyspepsia was the habit of
eating food in silence or without that
mirth End good fellowship so neces-
sary to insure the normal action of
the digestive organs. These little de-
tails might seem trite and unimpor-
tant, but it was The duty of the care

in regard to them. The long-contin-
ued and free use of digestive agents
served to make the digestive organs

TAKING PHOTOS OF SOUND.
Have Recently Been Made
by Scientists.

Very much has been done in the way
of obtaining Photographic records OF
sound, but perhaps the most impor.
this question is an article by Benja.
min F. Sharpe, says a scientific ex.
change. When an unmixed tone is re.
ceived in Helmholtz resonator, in the
wall of which is inserted very thin
glass plate, the natural pitch of which
is not too different from the tone, the
plate vibrates to the tone with an
amplitude having an ultimate relation
to the energy of the tone. Measure
ment of this amplitude becomes easy
if the vibrating plate is made to bear a
tiny mirror, which mirror forms one
element of a system of mirrors consti-
stuting Michelson's refractometer.
4 So delicate is this means of indication
that shifting of the mirror half a
wave length of light will cause such a
shifting to one side of the interference
bands that each dark band will take
the position previously occupied by the
next dark band. With telescope and
micrometer each band may with prop
er adjustment be, subdivided into 10C
parts, giving a means of recording a
shift equal to as little as one two-hun-
dredth of wave length. It need scarce
ly be said that the rapid shifts thus
produced by tone can only be OBJ
served by some such device as COM
pounding the motion with another t
right angles, when comparison with a
tuning fork and the making of photo
graphic records becomes possible, but
for details, and for some two dozen
of the records thus obtained, we must
refer our readers to Nature. The rec
ords show fork tones, tones of 1nu.
steal instruments, noises and vocal
sounds.

Electric Light for Hunting.

A Portuguese inventor has patented
an application of the electric light to
fox and badger hunting. The fox and
the badger are animals that live in
dens underground and terriers and
other kinds of dogs are used to dig
them out of their burrows or to fight
and kill them underground. The in
genious Portuguese conceived the
idea of attaching an electric lamp to
the collar of the dog so as to light the
way for him in his descent into the
hole and of making the light colored
so as to scare the animal and cause
it to rush forth to it's destruction.
