AUTOMATIC PISTOL A MARVEL.
New Pocket Machine Gun stands
Ordnance Boards Tests.

Ever since the ten-shot Mauser pistol
demonstrated its capabilities in the
south African war-bOth on British and
Boer sides-it has been the desire of me
makers OF weapons OF destruction to pro-
nuce a regular pocket machine gun that
would Just go "R-rr-rr-pp'' when the
Trigger was pulled and keep It I'D as
lCng as the magazine held out saws tina
Brooklyn Eagle. 1t was also desired
that the shots should scatter like a
charge of bribery thrown into a meeting
OF the municipal council.
The desired machine pistol has not been
produced yet, but the nearest approach
70 II seems to have been made by Tho
Colt Patent Ftrearm Manufacturing Com
peny OF Hartford, Conn, which has con-
structed an automatic seven-shOt pistol
or S caliber. It's total length Is nina
inches. and 1t weighs thirty-five ounces
The barrel Is inclosed in a way that re-
sembles water jacket. The pistol Is
somewhat fiat In pattern and the grip Is
set on nearly at right angles to the
barrel. People who have ever been lucky
enough to shoot with a revolver fitted
with a handle that raked back until II
was not much out OF the straight line
OF the barrel, will understand the draw

pecially when smOkeless powder IS used
That, however, seems to be the single
qefect that the pistol presents-and that

cided advantage over the AIauser WoaDon
In that it's hammer resembles the ham
mer of all revOlvers That on the Mauser

has TO be grasped by the finger and
thumb, one each side, before 1t can be

Is that the Colt automatic pistol looks
like a pistol Some Of the foreign makes
Of magazine and automatic pistols that
have been sent over here might be any

distinguished Italian Actress to AID

SDASAAh ACTRESS 10 AD-
pear in America This Season.
Manager George C. Tyler, of Ltebler &
Co, reached home on the Campania, Of
the Cunard line, Saturday, after an alb
sence of practically two months in Eu-
rope. Mr.. Tyler has been pretty busy
man across the water, and his contracts
and engagements include some of I'M
usual importance. Among them is con-
. tract with Eleanora Duse, which will
bring that most distinguished Of all liv-
ing actresses to America in October of
next year for a season of fifty perform
ances to be given in tour that will in
clude the leading cities of the country.
Four of the D'Annunzio plays viii be
included in her repertoire, viz: La Cha
conda, ''Cita Morte," I'll Fuoco" and the
D AnnunZio version Of Francesca di
Rimini,' which is said to be a marvel of
strength and power.
Another important contract is that
made with Mr.. Hall Game for the dram
attic rights of his new story, 1.-The Eter-
nal City" The play deNls with grave po-
litical and social problems, and in the
play, as in the book. and these are en-
Yironed with an interest that is so alb
sorbing and thrilling in It's nature that it
can scarcely fail to hold an audience. The
fascination that attaches to THE Chris
tian," which has not been equaIed by any
play OF recent years, Will be found to be
fairly surpassed in The Eternal city,
The date of the production and the cir
cumstances in connection Herewith are
not yet sufficiently determined to justify
any statement regarding these details.
Not a little interest VIII attach to the
fact that Mrs. Humphrey Ward is now
engaged on a dramatization of her story
OF Eleanor" stimulated, as she frankly
confesses, by the extraordinary success
which attended a recent artistic produc-
ton in America Of Browning's I'm a
Balcony" 1t Is not only within the
bounds of possibility but probable that
Liebler & Co viii make a production of
Eleanor" and with a cast which will
be headed by the one actress in the
world who is most capable Of taking the
title role. With adequate support for such
star and a genuinely artistic produv-
ton, there are many reasons for the be-
lief that Eleanor" would prove revela-
ton in dramatic art and elevate the
problem" play to pinnacle from which
1t can command a profitable public inter-
est as well as the admiration and devo-
ton of the dreamers

they are not much helped on by book

With more or less accuracy. They find
their soil and finest nourishment in q
certain tenderness of heart, which ought
to belong to every child born. like the
violet, they will grow best in dewey
glebe, and are watered by tears. Among
the loWly and uneducated you find heart
manners quite as often as in courts. They
feed on the distresses incident to poverty
and sickness. Self-helpfulness associa-
ting itself readily with helpfulness of
others, Is their clear and open manifesto
ton. Out of the circumstance of a worn
mother or a father who has been thrown
down hard in the struggle Of life, of a
lame brother or a sad-eyed, invalid sis

home-graces which learn to show them
selves in the face, the eye, and every
movement of the body. The other help

acquired, when these heart manners are
established, and no superior polish viii

WOMEN AND THE pAx-AMRRuoAN.

Chicago, when it started out to break
the worlds record in the line Of exposi-

called the board of lady managers. Some
nyperoriucal persons laughed at the
lady part of the title, and when an
occasional meeting Of the board refused
TO be dissolved otherwise than in tears
they laughed again.
There was the essence of all uncharita-
bleness in this laughter; of foolishness
TOO. For the Chicago women rose above
the level Of ladyhood and hustled in a.
manner to reflect everlasting credit upon
their city; even though that city Is one

GIRLS AND THEIR INTERESTS.

A trick of preserving flowers in sand
is worth trying at the sea-shore, and
bringing a supply Of sand home for win
ter use. Fine, clean sand must be used
washed. If not perfectly clean, and when
dry sifted through a fine sieve into a
rather deep pan or vessel. When the
sand Is deep enough to hold the flowers
upright, more of the sifted sand is filled
in around them with a spoon. Care
should be taken not to bend or break
the leaves and to see that no little holes
or interstice are left untitled about the
flowers. When they are covered thus
carefully, so as to be entirely invisible.
the pan is set away to dry for several
days; they must be taken out with great
care, as the leaves are dry and brittle.
Ferns and fiat flowers like pansies are
successfully treated in this way. Flowers
in cup shapes are laid lengthwise in the
sand. and the spaces in and around them
carefully filled In to make the pressure
even and exclude all air.
