are made of white lawn batiste and
nainsook trimmed with exquisite en-
broidery lace, and they are to be very
much worn In spite Of our fondness for
silk skirts.
Enameled flower hatpins have come

electric batteries is at the bottom of
the machine. Above it is the basket
or car for the passenger. Two elevat-
ing wheels crown the device, and the
propelling wheel is attached to the
center tube. The wheels are of the fan
or windmill pattern. Just above the
point where the propelling wheel is at
tached to the center tube a rudder
blade is attached.
Two elevator wheels revClve in oppo-
site directions and serve to overcome
the whirling motion. The propelling
wheel and the rudder are of equal
weight, one working in front and the
other behind the machine, causing the
machine to proceed steadily through
the air. The ascent and descent is
controlled by adjusting the rate Of
speed of the eleyating wheels. The
rudder Is operated by a hand lever eX-
tending into the passenger car and en-
ables the guiding of the course of the
machine. The propelling wheel directs
the forward motion Of the machine.
The elevating and the propelling
wheels act independently Of each other
and enable the raising Of the machine
without any forward motion. The ele-
waiting wheels raise the machine to the
desired height, when the propeller can
be put In motion TO start it forward.
Application of the principle of wing
navigation in the machine Is in the
construction of its wheels. Every fan
in the wheels is a wing. The speed In
movement which it can attain is said
by the inventor to far exceed the power
Of the flying animal or human power.

REACHING THE LIMIT
POSSIBLE NEW STANDARD IN MEAS
URlNG EXTREME HEAT.

By the Use of the Electric PyrOmeteE
BE Able to Accurately Record Soon
the Boiling Point of Platinum.
For centuries the human eye has
been the constant gauge for determin.
ing the highest degrees of heat. Any
person who has ever stood in black
smiths shop in childhOod's days knows
how steel ranges through the various
colors-as, for instance, black, dull red,
cherry red, yellow, white - up to the
melting point Of blush white. In blast
furnaces, in kilns of all kinds, from
baking brick to baking pottery, in glass
furnaces and through all the different
range of the arts and trades, the eye
was in the past the only available ther-
mometer. Great loss frequently re-
suited from this primitive means OF
telling heat, for every rise or fall of
points might cost literally thousands of
dollars.
Scientists have lately come to the res
cue, notably Professor G. l.. Norton of
the laboratory of physics at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, in
Boston, who has made heat measure
ment n matter Of exhaustive expert
ment.
The most exact and scientific method
of determining the temperature of fur
naces and retorts Is by means of cleo
tricity. The loop of platinum wire or
the joined ends of two wires are placed
within range of the heat to be meas
ured, a current Is established, and the
resistance ii meets is recorded by a
galvanometer, the degree of heat being
proportionate with the degree of cleo
trical resistance. A device of this sort
is called a pyrometer, a name which ap-
plies to any mechanical instrument for
measuring heat. By another kind of
pyrometer the effect of either heat or
cold on the electric current is detected
by a modified telephone called a ther-
mophone. This is quite different from
the termophon, which is merely tor
pedo which explodes after a period,
long or snort, as the neat Is more or
less intense.
While the electric promoters are the
more exact, much assistance Is given
to the human eye by visual pyrome-
ter. With this instrument the fire in a
kiln, for example, is observed through
a telescope and its temperature judged
with sufficient accuracy by its color as
seen through polariscope or by its
briliiancy as compared to a standard
lamp.
There are regions of heat possible to
the electric furnace far above the pres
ent possibilities of exact measurement,
but physicists look forward to the day
when they can accurately record the
boiling point Of platinum.

Cards During Illness.

When the fact of the illness of a friend
or acquaintance becomes known, those on
calling terms feel il incumbent upon them
TO make personal inquiries respecting the
condition of the invalid They therefore
leave cards without delay with ITO in
quirc" written upon them. Married la
dies leave one of their own cards and oc-
casicnally one of their husbands cards,
but not unless an invalid is a personal
frier i of the husbands as well as of the
wives in question. In the case of a grave
illne IS lasting some weeks it is usual to
leave cards, say, twice during its course,
as re CARDS acquaintances; intimate friends
wou d naturally call more frequently.
When the invalid is daughter OF the
lady called upon, married ladies only
leave their own cards, and not their hus-
banCs' cards.
Cards of inquiry during illness should
be left in person, that inquiries may be
made on the occasion of so doing; also
they could be sent by a servant instructed
to make inquiries. But these cards should
not he sent by post, as they would fail of
their purpose in that case, the object be-
ing TO ascertain the progress of an invalid
toward recovery. On the other hand,
cards of sympathy may be sent by post
II distance prevents their being left in
person or by servant, as the object is to
convey sympathy, and not TO make inqui.
ries.
How the above cards should be ac-
knowledged is the other side Of the sub
ject. In former days inquiries received
during illness were responded to by call
Ing on the inquirer when sufficiently re-
covered to do so. But as change Of air is
generally prescribed to complete conva-
lescence, whatever the nature of an i'll
ness may have been, it is considered pref
erable not to postpone Acknowledgements
until so distant a date. Therefore, cards
of thanks for kind inquiries are left by a
member of an invaIid's family or sent by
q servant as soon as the recovery is as
sured. MANY thanks for kind inquiries"
is written at the top of ladies' visiting
cards. The cards of the husbands are
not sent on these occasions.
Concerning the acknowledgment OF
cards of sympathy and coincidence and
also letters OF the same, 1t is usual to do
this as soon after a funeral has taken
place as possble.-Phiadelph Ledger.

Women's I'LL Used Ewes.

The other day woman, calling for ad-
vice concerning her failing eyesight at
the Office of an oculist, took up n looking
glass about the size of a half dollar and
began to twist her neck about in her eff
forts TO see the back of her head in the
large mirror behind her. The eye spe-
cialist watched her with lowering brows.
ITS a wonder to me-" he said, that
half the women in the land are not cross
eyed. The contortions to which they sub
ject the muscles of the eyes in their eff
forts to see themselves as others see them
are something awful.
"If an acrobat on the stage should per-
form with his limbs the feats that the
average woman does with her eyes day
after day, he would be advertised as Q
marvel Of agility. But he couldn't do it
He couldn't stand it.
And the women are not going to stand
it always either. They are bound TO pay
the penalty of their abnormal optical eX
crcise some time. 1t isn't natural fol
the eyes to be pulled and hauled from
right to left and turned inside out every

strain put upon them. Only yesterday

They Work For Uncle Sam.

Male clerks in government offices In
Washington are disappearing. More than
one-third of the 1857 clerks hired by
Uncle Sam at his business headquarters
are women.
clerk ships which fall vacant In Washing
ton are filled by women; If the ratio Of
Increase continues for two generations,
the male employee will disappear except
In the higher places.
Women were first permitted to become
employees in government Offices in 1862,
when Secretary of the Treasury Salmon
Z. Chase appointed six women clerks.
At first they drew only half the wages
paid to men, the government figuring that
Il took two women to do the work OF one
man.
But In the dead letter Office after wom-
en- were employed in that department, it
was found that one woman could In one
days work open, examine and return $50
letters, when heretofore one man had
opened and returned only 120. Thus wo-
man established Il new standard of work,
and it hustled the men to keep up, and
they've been hustling better ever since.
In the early days many bills were in
troduced in congress discriminating
against women employees, but they re-
ceived little support. Congress did once
pass bill fixing the maximum salary for
female clerks at $500 per annum. This
was in force for several years, but in
1870 an amendment was passed which
removed the discrimination.

Mrs. Fanny c. Hays, missionary in
China, tells an amusing anecdote in The
Century of a native woman's hospitality:
One afternoons experience gave me an
excellent commentary ON the story OF
Mary and Martha. ! was most warmly
welcomed by my hostess, who wished to
do something for my refreshment, SO she
decided she would poach me q couple OF
eggs. In vain | protested that / had but
an hour before eaten my dinner; that
had only short time to stay with her
and could not visit her again, perhaps for
years; that to please me best she must sit
down beside me for a quiet talk. No;
she must show in her own way how much
she appreciated the visit, so she started
fire in her little range, which immediate
ly filled the room with smoke; she hustled
about and poached the eggs, amid the
loud advice and kindly criticism of her
friends, who were too much distracted to
listen TO my remarks, and as | prepared
to eat one Of the eggs, to please the poor
woman, message came that the shentza
was at the door, and must leave at once.

How to Make Cold Creams

In preparing creams or lotions it must
be remembered that the formula should
be followed exactly if certain results
are expected.
Fats or oils should be melted over a
low fire by tie least possible heat and
iii a double boiler preferably. The meth
od as given of adding the other ingre-
dieHts should be closely adhered to. Tine
lures and extracts are invariably added
at the last, when the mixture has slight
ly cooled, and drop by drop or at least
very slowly.
Glycerin properly used is an inyalua-
bic cosmetic. 1t whitens, softens and dis
solves coloring matter when carefully
combined with other agents, such as
rose, elder flower or orange water. 1t is
very injurious used in concentrated form,
as it burns, parches and yelows the skin.
Fats are the basis Of all cold creams.
Wax and spermaceti are often added to
give requisite firmness, but possess no in
trinsic value. They are inclined to clog
the pores. Perfumes, aside from being
agreeable additions, possess antiseptic
qualities and prevent the oils from being
rancid.-Stella Stuart in Ledger Month

The difference between French and
American toilets does not lie in the
shape or the material of the dress as
much as in the way it is worn. A well
dressed Partisan does not trouble about
ordering something absolutely new. Nov
city is not her object. She seeks Of
course the latest make in skirts and bo-
leros, but she does not give so much at
tention to the inedit. Her great aim
Is that the silhouette should be perfect,
and there is no surer test of good dress
ing than to judge the effect of figure
at distance. The line. what the French
call la ligne, must first be studied. The
details of revers, cuffs and crayats then
follow. We, as rule, make the mis-
take of giving too much attention to de-
tail and not sufficient thought to the
broad lines. If we would look at our
selves through q looking glass at some
distance off and without the preconceiv-
ed idea that we were to see our own re-
Election, we should see faults that would
be very easy to correct, chiefly in the
length of our skirts in front and the way
our hats are placed upon our heads.

"Have you ever noticed" she said, "the
agoniZed expression on the faces Of near
ly all the women whom you see as stran-
gers on the streets and in public convey

All the small perplexities and anxieties
incident to their various occupations and

Baby's Accidents.

In book upon "baby's accidents" we
find some useful notes on first aid in
cases of burns and scalds, bruises, dislo-
cations, cuts, etc. Burns and scalds, Ii
seems, are such common accidents among
children, especially among the poorer
classes, that about 5000 lives are lost ev-
cry year from these causes.
SHOULD a child's clothes catch fire
smother with anything handy" says Mrs.
Hewer-"your own dress if nothing bet
ter offers. Never wait and call for help,
and never carry the child elsewhere till
every particle of flame has been extin-
guished. Scalds and burns produce an
alarming amount Of shock and prostra-
ton, especially if the surface involved be
large. While waiting for q doctor cover
up the affected part with soft rags dipped
in sweet oil and give the child some
brandy"
We are further told that in the case Of
slight scalds or scorches a mixture of
equal parts of collodion and castor oil
well mixed together and applied with a
soft paint brush will allay the pain at
once. A solution of bicarbonate OF soda
made as strong as possible and applied
with soft rags will also quickly give re-
lief
If the part be only scorched, fine flour
or whiting may be busted on and covered
with cotton wool If, however, the skin
be really burned, an oily or greasy applica-
ton will be the best An ointment OF
vaseline and eucalyptus oil or one of bo-
racic acid and lard or oil and limewater
spread on strips of lint or linen should
be applied to the affected part, covered
by q layer of cotton wool and kept in po-
sition by bandages.
As a remedy for bruises Mrs. Hewer
advocates little spirit lotion OF eau de
cologne and plentiful supply Of grease
to lessen the discoloration.
Her advice on concussion should be laid
to heart by those who have the care Of
children. ''In case Of concussion," she
says, "even If slight, put the child to bed,
darken the room and keep everything
quiet. Feed the child very lightly and, if
necessary, give a little castor oil. Quiet
and sleep are what the child needs. 1t Is
impossible to predict with certainty how
such a case may end, and doctor should
always be called in."
Children often wound themselves with
knives and scissors. Mrs. Hewer's ad-
vice in such cases Is to apply small
piece of lint to the wound and keep it on
until healing has set in. "In the case of
deep wounds where the bleeding will not
stop put on a piece of lint and bind up
very tightly with long strip of rag, used
as a bandage, and the bleeding will prob
ably not recur. But the bandage should
be loosened in a few hours, or the part
may mortify from the pressure employ
