THE MECHANICAL FAN.
Air Stirrer to Work by Simple
Hand Pressure.

Sentiment needs now to defend one
of its last devices-the fan in the
hands of the pretty girl. Behold, the
spirit of utility, seeking new fields
for the exercise of its powers, has
invaded the field of the fan. 1t has
set up as a rival of the lacy, silken
implement of feminine hypnotism,
that has served the gentler sex
device of brass, steel and wood-a
thing that to the accompaniment of
a low buzzing provides a gratifying
and steady draught of cool air, and
bearing the name of the "cold air
fam
The cold air fan physically sug
gests a cross between an egg-beater
and a machine for strengthening the
hands of a pugilist. One might al
most suspect that the inventor had
set out to make an egg-beater and
been diverted, as an after-thought,
to the fan idea by the prospects of
greater financial gain in that direc-
ton.
Putting aside as intolerable the sug-
gestion that this thing of wheels and
levels-light and easy running though
it be-can ever be real competitor
with the palm leaf and the great va
riety of daintier fans, the fact re-
mains that the newcomer is sure to
find an infnity of uses. For exam
pie, what could be more satisfactory
to the patron of a country barber
shop, where compressed air plants
are as yet impossible IuXuries% than
this small, cheap creator of a cool
breeze? Manifestly, nothing.
The makers say it will throw a
current of air as far as an~electric
fan of like size, which is easily cred
ible when they add the further in
formation that the blades of the
wheel can be made to reach a speed
of 1000 revolutions a minute. 1t

ADJUSTABLE MIRROR.
A Toilet Room Convenience That Is
Easily Arranged and Placed in
Any Needed Position.

The illustration shows a method of
arranging a small mirror in the lava
tory room so as to be adjustable to
different heights. The mirror may be
as easily arranged this way as hung
stationary, and is much more conven-
lent. Make two small wooden pulleys
about one inch in diameter and one
fourth inch thick, cutting a shallow
groove in the edge or face of each.
Small fiat spools, such as are used for
silk twist, will answer very well. On
the wall, directly above where mirror
is to be suspended, place one of the
pulleys, holding it in position by a
small wire nail which serves as an
axle. To the right or left of this pull
ley, at any required distance, arrange
the other pulley, IN the manner indi-
Gated. Procure a stout cord, and fas-
ten one end to a weight just as heavy
as the mirror weights and cord from
one of the old-fashioned maRtel clocks
may be found in many households, and
will be about right for the purpose.
Bring the cord up over outside pulley
and down over the pulley above mir
ror, where it is conducted through a
small staple and tied to a small hook

GIFTS FOR TRAVELLERS.
Useful Embroidered Bags Nowadays
Constitute an Important Part Of
Tourists Outfit.

A novel and useful gift to anyone
going on travelling tour OF long jour
ney comprises a set of bags made of
embroidered linen or sateen. There
should be a bag for soiled clothes, one
for handl1erchiefs, one for shoes, a
nightdress case and sponge bag.
The boot and shoe bag in these days
is decidedly more attractive than the
time-honored combination of brown
holland and scarlet braid which one
associated with this purpose in the
past.
The soiled clothes bag is no longer
an eyesore in cretonne of "green and
yellow melancholy" but in its pleasing
form is made of dark blue linen
worked in washing silks or fax
or thread. with tufts of mimosa in
natural coloring. \ light, graceful
pattern is darned in with pale china
blue, and the design is lined off at the
top with straight border of either
yellow or blue cord.-N. Y. Tribune.

take leaf from the book of south
country household economy. 1t is
common there for country folk to
have a sort of outdoor fresh-air clos
ct, a small detached structure set in
the shadiest place possible, standing
upon four tall legs, with a fat single
roof of barely enough pitch to shed
rain. The floor is at least four feet
from the ground, and the whole strue-
ture only big enough to reach well
across. There are shelves all around
and the Notwithstanding up next the
roof is full CT tiny auger holes. The
door fits tight and fastens with a
lock. Around each of the four legs
is commonly a tar bandage applied
six inches above the ground. This
traps venturesone ants. spiders and
their kidney, thus keeping the inside
clear. The structure is whitewashed
inside and out twice a year. In hot
weather fcor and shelves are washed
every morning and secured twice a
week. Such a fixture should not cost
over three CT four dollars, even if one
hires it built, and it is certainly
among the handiest. things one can
have about the house or yard.-Chi-

FREsH-AIR FOOD SAFE.
The Outdoor Pantry of the Southern
States Is Device That Is Well
Worth Initiating.

Pantry requirements are a trife
paradoxical, in that they are air and
light and darkness. A pantry window
is essential, even if it be no more than
a tiny two-light sliding sash, set any
how in the outer wall. A regular
window is much better. It need not
waste wall-space-shelves, but can be
so placed across it as to admit it's
working. But if a pantry can be al
lotted as much as six feet Of house
wall, it is better to have the window
set crosswise, with the lower edge a
little more than breast high. Then,
by making one sash of glass and filing
the other with wire gauze, the pantry
can have a handy outdoor closet
Have tight deal partition running
out from the sash division, as far as
the space permits. Put shelves around
three sides of the two compartments
thus formed and close them with
tight light deal doors. Thus the in
door pantry can subserye its proper
purposes and the outside closet ban

Place small staple in top edge or

desired to remove the glass from the
cord, raise it up till the hook is

lifting the mirror off its hook. If pos

Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach
by Pe-ru=na.
Pe-ru=na.

All over this country are hundreds
of people who are suffering from
catarrh of the stomach who are vast
ing precious time, and enduring need
less suffering. The remedies they try
only temporarily palliate the distress,
but never effect a cure. Remedies Tor
dyspepsia have multiplied SO rapidly
that they are becoming as numerous
as the leaves of the forest, and yet
dyspepsia continues to flourish In
spite of them all. This is due to the
fact that the cause of dyspepsia is not
recognized as catarrh.
If there is a remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations that
is in every particular adapted to dys-
pepsia, that remedy is Peruna- This
remedy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.
DR.. Hartman, President of The Hart
man Sanitarium, Columbus, o., says:
''In my large practice and CORE
spondence ] have yet to learn OF
single case of atomic dyspepsia which
has not either been greatly benefited
or cured by Peruna."
No one suffering with catarrh of the
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight,
can be well or happy. 1t is the cause of
so many distressing symptoms that it
is most dreaded disease. Peruna acts
Immediately on the seat OF thetrouble,
the inflamed mucous membranes lin

effected.

valuable advice gratis.
