A young woman of smart wit and
striking beauty presided at one CT the
stalls at Paris charity bazaar. Among
the small crowd which pressed round
the fair yender was young man of
much assurance, who gazed upon the
girl with freedom and affected to adj
mire the various fancy articles exposed
for sale, but bought nothing.
What will you please to buyT' ask
ed mademoiselle, with an exquisite
smile
'Oh," replied the young dandy, with
a languishing look, what l most wish
to buy is unhappily not for SALE"
''Tell me what you wishT she re-
sponded.
"Oh, no; dare not declare my wish
es.''
Nevertheless let me know what you
wish to buy" persisted the fair sales
woman.
''Well, then, since you demand it, l
should like ringlet of your glossy
black hair"
She manifested no embarrassment AT
the bold request, but with pair of
scissors Immediately clipped off one of
her beautiful locks and handed it to the
astonished youth, remarking that the
price was only 500.
Her audacious admirer was thunder
struck with the demand, but dared not
demur, as by this time group had col
lected and were listening to the CONVEX
sation. So he took the hair, paid over
the money and left the hall.

rhe sneere wood Trce.

The remarkable sneeze wood tree is
native of Natal and other parts of
South Africa. It's funny name was
given to it because one cannot saw it
without sneezing violently.
The dust of it's wood has just the
same effect as the strongest snuff and
is so irritating to the nose that work
men are obliged to sneeze even when
they are planting it.
II piece of the wood of this tree is
put in the mouth. it is found to have
very bitter taste. and no doubt 1t is this
bitterness which prevents insects of
any kind from attacking the timber of
the .'sneeze wood" tree.
The fact that insects find it so disa-
greeable makes its wood very valuable
for work that is required to last long
time

ELECTRIC Energy From Wind.

From long and careful studies of the at
mospheric conditions in northern Ger
many Herr NJ. G.. Couz, of Hamburg. has
taken up the question Of the industrial
application of the winds which are always
abundant in that region. He has dis
covered system of electric regulators to
obviate the inconvenience of the variation
in the velocity of the wind. To put his
ideas in practice, Herr Couz appealed to
+. Neumann, a manufacturer of wind mills
at Wittkiel, who put large windmill at
his disposition. The wheel had regula-
tor to keep its speed constant for certain
number of turns when the minimum yelo-
city of the wind to keep it moving at that
speed had been exceeded. This wheel,
which in a tempest can furnish 30-horse
power, charges a large storage battery
for electric lighting and power at Wittkiel.
Seine experiments were made last Sep
TENDER, and the results surpassed all ex-
pectation. These experiments, which
were admirably conducted, make it posi-
bic to hope that small localities will be
able to secure electric light and power
from the wind at almost no cost. The ex-
pense of establishing such an installation
is extremely small in comparison to the
immense advantages which it secures.

had been studying the lay of the land,
I'VE can go over to headquarters and get

Pete, digging his spurs remorsely into

Yes, hurry up urged Sandy. Don't
you see them all making their way over

crowd. Wen be late if we don't hurry.
They dashed down to Division Head
quarters to find two sacks of mail for their
regiment almost ready for them. The
smaller one which contained the letters,
Pete took up in front of him, while the
larger one, containing the papers and
magazines, was handed over to Sandy.
They rode away impatiently, for they
could hear shouts coming from the direc-
ton of the Expresses.
In the meanwhile Patsy the kinch had
gathered his forces around the expresses.
and laid out the campaign for them. He
had found two alligator holes within
