UMBRELLAS IN THE SLOT.
Careless Owners Drop Their Tips In
Street Car Cracks and Many
Are Ruined.

"When I say that one-half the UNI
brellas and canes that have to go to
the ash heap or the umbrella hospital
meet their fate in the slots of the car
tracks 1 am not putting the percent
age a bit too high said the motor
man, according to the New York Sun.
cit is surprising how careless people
are in this respect.
MANY times a day do 1 see them go
stumping across the tracks, either
trailing umbrellas along after them or
jabbing them down against the pave
ment, where the points are sure to
stick if there is a crevice big enough
to hold them. The electric slots being
more capacious than any other riffs
in the streets, they naturally bite off
more umbrella tips.
MANY an accident that is ayerted
by the traditional hairs breadth is due
to the futile efforts of the owner to
save his precious stick or umbrella. It
matters not how close the car may be
upon him, he takes chances on his life
and stops long enough to give a final
wrench TO his endangered property.
Sometimes he saves it, but more
often it snaps asunder and is either
ruined irrep arably or is laid up for re-
pairs. If 1 was running this town /
think I should put up signs at inter
walls of every 100 feet bidding people
Beware of the SLOT The public might
not profit by the warning, but I'd make
the experiment, anyway"

COMFORT IN TRAVELLING.
Little COnvenIences That Make &
Journey on a Railroad Train
Less FatfEUing.

When one is about to start on a
journey that will take several hours
it is well to thoroughly equip ones
self that one may be as comfortable
as possible. Especially is this neces-
sary when there are little children to
consider as we'll as older persons
Above all things, be sure to provide
yourself with a drinking cup, for it is
far from attractive to think of drink
ing from the same cup as is used by
anyone who chances along.
Next in Importance is a small bottle
of good but plain cologne water. A
soft face cloth may be wrapped
around this, and when tired and dusty
from the heat gently battle the face
with the cologne water, and you will
be greatly surprised to find how cool
and comfortable you will feel.
A small fan that runs into hollow
stick, and which takes but little room
in your bag, should be the next article
to find a resting place Some pins, a
spool of thread and some needles and
a few buttons Tvil possibly be found
useful, especially where there are chill
dren.
If one is made i'll by the motion of
the train a bottle of lavender salts will
often relieve the headache. For this
purpose it is also well to carry a few
salted or other plain crackers, fer the
illness is often caused by an empty
stomach. The breakfast has possibly
been hastily eaten, or perhaps but a
cup of coffee has been taken. Toward
lunch time one will experience a rack
ing headache. Before the headache
becomes established the cracker
should be eaten and the headache will
probably disappear.
Do not attempt to carry any great
amount of money with you, but place
the bulk of it in chamois bag that
may be securely fastened around yorr
neck under the dress. A sufficient sum
to meet immediate wants may be car
ried in the bag. A night dress should
certainly be placed in the hand satchel,
for trunks have been known to go
| astray.-Detroit Free Press.

CARE OF THE HANDS.
70 Make Red, wrinkled Member.
Plump and Smooth Requires
Lots of Hard Work.

TO whiten red, wrinkled hands and
make themplump and smooth is a work
of time. When young women or those
of 80 complain of such hands the cir
culation is the fault and must be slim
ulated. Very hot baths for the entire
body are the best treatment not only
for reddish hands, but for red noses
and swollen lips. Yet hot water is
such a difficult luxury to obtain even
in smart houses that it is always rec
commended with uncertainty, like
voyage to the Azores or a winter in
Bermuda. Between the economics of
the kitchen fire and the impossibilities
of hea ting water by electric light or
by fancy gas stoves, we will have to
depend upon public baths for cleans
ing and taking cold on the way home,
as most people do who use them.
Friction, however, is a matter of
coarse towel and brisk, dry rubbing.
Gymnastics and health movements
combine with the towel exercise, for
few manuals bring muscles into play
in such variety of ways as the daily
rub down with a big brown length of
Turkish toweling. Taken by the ends
and sawed across the shoulders, up
and down the arms, trunk and legs,
rubbing lightly and swiftly until the
skin is all aglow, the towel rubs away
the dead particles and brings the
blood into play. The feet should have
special friction to keep them warm.
Women who have cold feet in girl
hood are apt to have red, thin hands
and faces later in life. Special treat
ment for the hands requires daily ap-
plication. Soak them at night in a
basin of hot soapsuds with spoonful
of sweet oil stirred in. Then the oily
water is rubbed off, and the back of
each hand gently and swiftly rubbed
with a good pomade, working it into
the knucl1les. Next open and shut the
hands so to 100 times, counting the
motions once by the clock and timing
them by it afterward instead of count
ing. The hands begin to improve I'M
der the friction very soon. Finally, on
going to bed, rub the hands generous
ly with good pomade, putting plenty
on the finger tips, if the nails are brit
tie, or draw on easy-fitting gloves.
Thick joints and knobby knuckles re-
quire treatment which only skilled
specialist knows how to apply.-Chi-

Some unehncnteh DOGS.

= Cardinal Pedro Gonzales, who was
pious man and believed in the gospel
of peace, once noticed that a priest
in his train carried a weapon under
his cloak. WhereupOn the cardinal
reproved him, saying that a cleric
should not carry arms. True 'an-
swered the priest, humbly, "but I
carry the weapon only to defend my
self should be attacked by a dog
''In that case," said the cardinal, ''and
if I saw a dog running toward me 1
should begin to recite the gospel of
John" THAT" returned the priest,
would be a wise thing, indeed, but
may it not be that there are some
days that do not understand Latin?''

Abnent-nrinded Profesaor.

Another Absent-Ninded Professor.
A certain absent-minded professor
went to see friend who had been
seriously i'll, but who was now conva-
lescent, and took fine bunch of hot
house grapes for the invalid. The old
friends were naturally delighted to
see each other and were soon deep
in an interesting discussion. The pro-
fessor, with his usual absent-minded-
ness, began picking up the grapes,
taking one at time till every one was
gone.
When the time came for him to
take his departure he said to his
friend: 'NOw, mind you, eat those
grapes. They will do you all the good
in the world and went out of the
room quite ignorant of the fact that
he had devoured them himself.-Lon-

When the jelly is still piping hot"

it impervious to air. Thus the jelly

Jelly covered with paper that has

A. H. Pollard who is here in advance
of the company thus describes the ar
rangements the company has with the
children, and their method of manage
ment.
THE children are of course selected
principally for their voices" says Mr..
Pollard, land for this purpose school
is maintained in Melbourne. When they
are selected arrangements are made for
their services with their parents or
guardians and they are regularly IN
dentured to us. We clothe and educate
them and pay all their expenses. Their
salaries are paid to the Bank of New
South Wales which opens accounts
with each one of them, keeping their
money at interest until the end of their
| indentured service, for the laws of New
| South Wales will not permit parents to
live off the earnings of their children.
ION tours the children are in charge
| of school master and three matrons.
| Their daily routine is something like
this; they get up at 8, breakfast and
go to rehearsal. After lunch they are
| in school till o'clock Then .ney have
recreation until dinner. Then later
comes the evening performance, after
that supper and then to bed. Their
manners are looked after carefully and
in addition TO the benefits of school
such as other children have, they have
| the benefit of travel. They are each
| given half a crown a week for spending
money, and they use it in all the various
| ways that other healthy and well
! brought up children do"
