eyes and grit my teeth. It took all the eftect out of my act and must have seemed very funny to the people in the audience. Often, after performing some difficult feat, I have been mortified to hear a roar of laughter, and at last determined to either learn how to smile or quit the business. I got the knack at last, and now it has become a sort of second nature.
 'The point is great deal more irn- portant than one would suppose. I know an equilibrfst, for instance, who IS very popular on the vaudeville cir cult, not so much on account of the difficulty of his act as the smiling ease With which it is apparently done. You would never suppose from his face that he was making any special exertion, and that of itself gives remarkable grace and finish to his work
 T am not the only one in the busi- ness, however, who has found it hard to smile at the right time. Almost every ballet dancer, eccentric character dan cer and skirt dancer has had trouble on the same score. Most of them finally acquire horrible fixed grimace that is supposed to be smile, but has no more suggestion of merriment than a brick wall. It is produced by cuItivating certain set of muscles and made to ap- pear and disappear on the principle of pulling a string.-New Orleans Times Democrat.

EASK.

A new law is proclaimed by the min istry of commerce at Vienna which re- quires every commercial traveller to furnish certificate of character and 8 medical certificate, the latter to show that he is free from infectious disease or physical marks of repulsive charac- ter. The certificates must be dated within fortnight of the time they are presented, and the authorities will thereupon issue to the traveller a permit valid for one year.
 The commercial travellers of the Unit ed States who may want to do busi- ness in Austria will come out of this examination well. They are, as a rule, healthy and handsome, and perhaps they will be sorry that the examination isn't competitive. They could hold their own in the strictest kind of contest as to character. health and good looks. The new law wont bother them.

THE UNITED STATES AS 4 FEEDER


 It is customary for campaign orators to talk about the United States feeding the world. It doesn't do that yet. It doesn' even feed it's beloved friend England. But it does send England much in the food line. sixty-t three per cent. of Great Britain's two and half billions of imports are agricultural products, and of this amount the United States in 1900 supplied only s51SOOO,OOO, leaving two billions to be supplied by other countries. This country supplies a far larger percentage of Great Brit aims foodstuffs than any other. Of the total the United States sold Great Brit ain S2.50 per cent. in 1900, while France sold 6.54 per cent, Germany 5.01 per cent, the Netherlands 4.36 per cent, Argentine 4.O1 per cent, Russia the same, Denmark 39O, Egypt 3.S1. Bel gium 2,1S Spain 1.66, Asiatic Turkey 1.02, and twenty other countries less than one per cent. each, while from the British colonies 24.91 per cent. of the mother country's food was received
 These facts show that there is still room for an expansion of our work as a feeder. Of course our ambition should be to expand until we really do feed not only Great Britain but the world.

White or Mixed in This Way or Mar
 keting "Hen Fruit"
 Give me quart of yolks."
 What are whites worth to-day?"
 Send me up gallon of mixed"
 Such expressions as these will be fa- miliar terms in grocery stores and butcher shops in Kansas City before long. Housewives will make them so, for eggs will be sold by the pint, quart and gallon instead of by the dozen. In fact, the big confectionery establish ments of the city buy them by the gall Ion now. Kitchen economy suggested the scheme, and local packers imme- diately took 1t up.
 How often it is that cook will break dozen or more eggs in order to get the yolks to make a cake. The whites will be thrown away or vice versa. Why not make saving of the whites or yolks, as the case may be? was sug- gested. The packers put the question to the confectioners. and the latter saw the point Now, when confectioner wants to make stuff with the yolks he sends to a packing house and buys yolks by the gallon. If he wants to use the whites for something, he sends for them. If he wants to use both, he sends and gets a. mixed can. It is pre- dicted that housewives will soon adopt the same method.
 With this new system of handling ''hen fruit there is absolutely no loss.
 The eggshells are even used. They are ground up and sold for chicken feed.-Kansas City Times.

The tragic death in France of Charles L. Fair is another reminder says the Portland oregonian, that only two of the noted rich Californfans were suc- ceeded by useful sons. Charles F., Crocker, Vice President of the South sern Pacific, who died five years ago, felt the responsibility of great wealth and rose to it. James D. Phelan. ex- Mayor of San Francisco, is now the one young man of that State who inherited very large fortune and put it to good use. He is good all-round man. clean in every way, and has the confidence of all classes. He has no racing stables operates no steam yacht, supports no country house in Newport, devotes no time to fashionable fads, courts no ce- lebrities and wastes no time in foreign lands, wherein he differs from other young Californians who were born with golden spoons in their mouths

MORE ET'IDENCF.

They have @ lot of money at Newport, but they don't have a lot of fun, even when they give dinners in honor of monkeys or dogs. For change they might try some of the diversions which divert in communities where there isn't so much money and there is more fun. At the horticultural picnic in Toledo, Ohio, the other day the desire to have fun took the form of a nail-driving contest, wherein the women were the contest ants and the men the spectators. Planks were laid on horses, such as car penters use. On these blanks were placed short square pieces of board. With each board there was a new ham, mer and five eight-penny nails. Each contestant placed herself in front of her board with the nails in her left hand, the uplifted hammer in her right and fixed her eye on the starter, who count ed one, two, threei At the count three" the nail-driving set in. The smart woman who first drove her five nails through the board into the plank won She shrewdly started two nails at time with their heads close togeth- CT. She thus had wider surface to aim at, and her blows when successful ly landed counted for just twice as much.
 Thus it was shown that women can drive at least five nails, and as it is not recorded that any of the women hit her thumb with the hammer the achievement can be regarded as rather large.

SMOOTH WORK WITH OTL.

The Oceanic company is said to be the first navigation company to install a system for burning oil instead of coal, and the recent trip of the Mariposa of that line, which was reported upon by Lieutenant Winchell of the Navy de- partment, seems to be good evidence that no mistake has been made by the company. The Mariposa is a vessel of
 three thousand one hundred and sixty
 tons displacement, with an average
 horse power, when using oil, of about two thousand four hundred and eighty
 one. The average daily speed made
 during the voyage was three hundred
 and fifty-four knots on daily con-
 sumption of about two hundred and
 seventy eight barrels of oil, which
 weighs only about half as much as the
 amount of coal necessary to produce
 the same results, It was found neces-
 sary to use only twelve of the eighteen
 furnaces with which the ship is euuip-
 ped, the oil being burned in two burn
 CTS in each furnace by. means of an air
 compressor having capacity of one
 thousand cubic feet minute at thirty pounds pressure. Only at short inter- vals were all the burners in use. At the end of a run of three thousand four , hundred and thirty-eight miles. from San Francisco to Tahiti, the refuse hardly filled two ash buckets, and the boilers were not unfavorably affected by the flames. The use of oil fuel in this case allowed of a reduction of the engine room force from thirty-six men to twenty, but it was necessary that I these should be of higher grade of in- telligence than ordinary. The matters requiring especial attention were that the air pressure for atomizing shouId | be kept constant, as we'll as the tenn perature of the oil, and that the nj, | strainers should be closely watched to !
