Prophecy is peculiarly the gift Of the
young person who leaves high school
with the thoughts Of the good and wise
piled In orderly heaps in his brain 1t
is Just such a one who believes that
agencies now operating in the high
schools of the country will transform
the written language and its orthog-
raphy. His argument briefly is that
men will ultimately choose the easiest
way of doing the same thing as well,
that one-third of all high school grad
yates take shorthand, and that from
this large and growing nucleus a short
hand language and photography will
inevitably spring. In that happy time
newspapers as large as the 12-page
Spy can be printed on one page.
Have you seen the new idea in street
advertising? I saw two yesterday that
were well calculated to catch the pas
sengers' eyes. The "ad' leaves a
blank space in one corner in which is
inserted a glass case with numerous
little figures on pivots. They move
fast or slow as the car goes smoothly
or jolts over cartracks and switches.
The figure of a woman in a rocking
chair rocked so furiously as the car
crossed the tracks at Grafton Street
that it looked very much as if she was
talking with her husband and he was
getting the better of the argument

way: Mix together a saltspoonful of salt,
half a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda,
a teaspoonful Of cream of tartar; stir these

into two portions and roll out each to fit

From the Kansas City Times.
A distressing and at the same time re-
markable accident occurred to Mrs A. M.
Hughes at her home, 1886 Forest avenue,
about noon Wednesday. in which Mrs.
Hughes was seriously burned about the
face, hands and arms by a gasoline ex-
plosion. The remarkable part of the affair
Is that the gasoline was not ignited by fire
and ts believed to have exploded by cleo
tricity produced by friction.
Mrs. Hughes went to the bathroom to
clean child's dress. She poured the great
er part Of a gallon of gasoline into porce-
lain-lined wash basin. She was rubbing the
dress vigorously, when suddenly there was
an explosion and Mrs. Hughes hair was
set on fire. Before assistance could reach
her Mrs Hughes was seriously burned.
DR.. A. L. Crow attended to Mrs. Hughes'
injuries
DR.. Crow naturally supposed at first that
Mrs. Hughes had in some manner heen
