A Philadelphia man, according tc
The Record, who has just returned
from Paris, which is automobile crazy
says that the cost of maintaining one
would bankrupt the ordinary citizen
''There are plenty to choose FROM" he
remarked, with steam, gasoline, pc
troleum or electric motors. These
range In price from $500 for motor
cycle to $4,000 for heavy rigs suitable
for carrying four persons and a driver.
While in Paris l busted myself to the
extent of finding out how much it cost
to operate one of these carriages. For
a year 1t is about as follows: Gasoline.
$3.50; lubricating oil, $545; repairs
to carriage, S102.50; repairs to machin
cry, $185; repairs to tires, S2T.5O; sun.
dries, S64.S0; depreciation, $50; tax.
$50; servant, 5000. That makes a total
OF $S72.75. Remember this is for Par

debut before the senate the other DAY
as an orator.
1t was late in the afternoon wheI
the clerk of the house appeared with 9
batch OF bills. He waited for minute
or two for some official to come for
ward to receive him. but no one ap.
peared. Mr.. Ransdell, who was stand.
Ing in the rear of the chamber, rushed
into the breach. He took his place be.
side the clerk and bowed with a ierky
bow to the presiding officer of the SEN
ate.
Mr.. President" he said. There was
no nervousness in his tone, nor did the
sound of his own voice seem to fright
en- him. Then he made his initial
speech. 1t was brief and to the point:
"a message from the house of repre-
sentatives."
Each word, each syllable, was utter
ed clearly and distinctly. No need for
Mr.. Ransdell to put pebbles in his
mouth, as Demosthenes did, and prac-
tice to the accompaniment Of the sad
sea waves. AS a speaker he would
take the prize in any debating society.
He has grace, oratorical ability and SUI

mo man has more reason to be CRATE
full to his public than a minister, for
know of no servant who is more kind
ly treated" writes Ian Maclaren Of
us the Minister an Idler? in The La
dies Home Journal. "While there are,
no doubt, in so large a body as the
Christian church, censorious hearers
and i'll hammered congregations. Just
as there are lazy and cantankerous
ministers, yet the average congrega-
ton is charitable in its Judgment Of its
minister, patient under his failings.
keenly appreciative Of any good work
he does and most responsive to all his
good Offices There are not many sub
stantial complaints which sane mind
ed and good tempered minister can
bring against the average copgrega-
ton, but he has sometimes a grudge
against his friends which he does not
express, but which often rankles in his
heart 1t is not anything they say or
anything they do; it is the quiet and
perhaps unconscious assumption on
their part that he has not enough work
to do or that he has a considerable
quantity Of time at his disposal"

Ross rALKER or THE NAVY.

that he was completely talked out, as
he had been up against the greatest

up against plain Smith,"
"Well. then. You have got another

VIvIER, THE Horn PLAYER.
lie Was Famous For Practical JolS-
ing Under Napoleon III.

Ing NapOleoH
The death. announced from Nice, a
the age Of 20, of the famous horn play
er and practical joker, Eugene Leor
Vivier, will recall stories of man whC
figured largely in London and Partisan
society in the early days of the third
empire. Vivier was a magnificent sole
horn player, but he was even more re-
markable as humOrist His practical
jokes may seem rather stupid now, but
in their day they were the talk Of Eu'
rope. One of them was to tie a young
calf on the second floor balcony of his
house. so that crowd assembled and
blocked up the street Vivier's excuse
was that he hated to see boys hurrying
on their errands and adopted this plan
to tempt them to loiter. Then he kept
the calf in his rooms so long that 1t
grew into a bullock, and when the po-
lice lnterfered they found 1t impossible
to get the animal down stairs.
Vivier invented plan Of mixing gum
with soap, for the manufacture of soap
bubbles, of a particularly large and
| tough description, which he set flying
over St Petersburg, to the alarm Of
the Emperor Nicholas, who imagined
1t to portend some new Instruction.
In London he had fancy for keeping
in his rooms. off Regent street, cock,
for the board of which he insisted on
paying is pence week and which he
pretended to treat as a familiar spirit,
jabbering to it for some minutes and
then rushing frantically out Of the
house, his handkerchief to his eyes,
sobbing as though his heart would
break.
In an omnibus he once pretended to
be mad, shouted at the top Of his voice
and presented pistol at his own head.
Then, when seized, he gravely broke
the supposed pistol in half, handed one
piece to the conductor and proceeded
to eat the other half, which was choc-
olate.
Napoleon Ill was especially his ad
mirer and gave him many sinecures,
among them an inspectorship Of mines,
WHICH luedll the uIdWluS lIOm tllue 10
time of comfortable salary. When
Vivier wanted to travel, Napoleon used
to send him, at the government ex-
pense, as a special imperial courier
with secret dispatches.
Vivier was a self made man and as
little more than lad he came part of
the way on FOOT from his native Ajac-
clio, where his father was tax gather
er. to Paris and became a player In the
band at the Italian Opera. Afterward |
he studied seriously under Galaxy and
soon, as n soloist, took the foremost |
place. He first visited London in 1913
on the recommendation of Louis Phi
lippe, who thought great deal Of him,
and his celebrity lasted practically un-
til the fall of the empire.
He then retired to the south of
France, keeping up his character for
eccentricity. He invented a trick which
greatly perplexed the last generation
playing, or pretending to play, four
notes at once on the horn. the effect
being somewhat similar to that of four
horns playing ogether.-London News

British Red Tame

1t really would appear that the folly
and absurdity Of our war Office arc
bOundless and bottomless. The prime
minister Of New South Wales tele
graphed home offering 100 army serv
ice wagons for use in South Africa and
received in reply an acceptance of the
proposal, to which was added an init
nation that the wagons must be sent
from Australia to England in order
that they might be officially inspected
at Woolwich before they were finally
dispatched to the Cape. This insane
arrangement involves useless voyage
of nearly $4,000 miles and the waste
OF two months. Surely there must be
some official at the Cape who is ca
pable of inspecting these Australian
wagons. london Truth
