WITH THE ELECTRICIANS.

The street railways of Havana are
to change the motive power from
horses to electricity. The city is in
great need of rapid transit.
The inhabitants of the hill country
in northern India are much exercised
over the relation between thunder
storms and electric light stations.
They assert that at Darjeeling, for in
stance, thunderstorms have been both
more frequent and more severe since
the electric light plant was installed.
The policemen of Asbury Park, N.
j., have been provided with electric
pocket lights, says Electricity, which
they use to discourage young couples
from the practice of being too affec-
tomato Oh the beach after shutdown.
The founder Of the park is very strict
in enforcing the observance OF all the
properties, and so officers of the law
will flash illuminators wherever sus-
picion of beach love-making exists.
A London firm of electricians, it is
stated has patented a novel decorative
system of lighting rooms. The main
idea is the insertion of transparent
panels faced with negatives Of we'll
known photographers, through which
filter subdued electric light, the effect
being somewhat the same as the light
of a church, and eminently becoming.
There is no glare, and the pictures can
be chosen according to the taste Of the
room.

dead dogs as the pen could contain

Women and Outdoor Sport.

Some interesting people abroad have
been talking about women and outdoor
sports. Whatever may be said for or
against what women does or does not
do, it is certain that the world never
seems tired of talking about her.
The queen of Roumania, who heads
the list of interesting people, apparent
ly fears that woman in sports will not
still be womanly. eff sports gives rise
to any disquietude with me-" she says,
cit is because fear to see the chival-
rous man slain by the modern ANA
zon."
DR.. Charcot does not Object to any
thing that woman does if she only
keeps as far as possible from resem-
blance to man, and is Charming,
gracious, elegant, and, above all
things, distingue." With these quail
fications women will retain their
superiority over men and man will re-
main, or rather, once more become,
gallant"
The Baroness Bertha Won Sutteer
believes sports make for health, and
ing which, while it strengthens The
muscles, hardens the heart.
DR.. Max Nordau believes that und9,'
any circumstances woman psychicaily
remains woman with other ambitions
and aspirations in the most masculine
sports than a man. Dress preoc-
cupies her and she tries to please by

form Of coquetry, it is always coquetry.
l have often thought that Diana, if she
had worn pretty hunting costume,
would have been happy to have excited
the admiration of Actaeon. She had
him slain simply because he had them
delicacy to look at her before the
seamstress had done her work. The
adventures of Penthesilea prove, it
seems to me, how much even the belli-
gerent Amazon remains a woman
even to die for love!"
That is hard for the up-to-date wo-
man, who contends that she is enamel
pated from the perpetual thought of
| dress.
Emile lola is more satisfactory. He
believes in all physical exercises for
development, not for beauty SO much
as moral development and the tending
to individuality which the practice Of
sports brings to young girls. He be-
lieves that the comradship between
young men and women through out
door sports leads to better knoWl-
edge of each other in view of marriage.
1t is beneficial relation, he believes,
as is that afforded by the co-educational
schools of England and America

Chose the Sunset.

An excellent piece of advice, which
may be applied in many cases, was
once given by William Hunt, the artist,
TO an unwise pupil.
The young man was making a sketch
of a landscape bathed in the sunset
light of summer day. In the fore
ground stood a picturesque old barn
Mr.. Hunt stood behind his pupil silent
ly for a few moments, watching him
work
Suddenly he stopped and put his
hand on the young painters arm.
See here" he said, firmly, ''if you
spend so much time painting shingles
on barn, you'll never have time to
paint sunsets. You'll have to choose

Salt water is held to be much more
effective than fresh water in putting

1t is estimated that the number Of
consumptives in New York is about
10000. A plea has been made for

one of the best in New York and she

The trial of Harris, the negro who
killed Policeman Thorpe and thus
caused the rioting and niger hunt
ing in New York, has been four
times postponed owing to the illness
of juror. Many of the negroes are

tear down the Paris exposition build

systematized, and every item that en-
