blowpipe, but if not you can get it
made easily and at small cost.
TO make it, get piece of glass tub
ing and heat it in the flame, then draw
out the heated part until you have
tube as small as pin. Break it off at
its smallest part and you have pin
hole burner.
Get piece of rubber piping, which
you must attach to an ordinary gas
jet, the other end to the thick end OF
the glass tube. When the gas is
forced through and lighted it win
burn in long. thin fame.
If the room is quite free from
draughts and all present are silent,
the flame will be steady, but If
watch is held near, it will wabble
and flare back and forth, keeping
exact time with the ticking of the
watch. If you will call out in .
loud voice it will leap to one side
as though you had frightened it, and
if you keep up conversation in
loud voice it will dance about as
though in excitement.
To make gas jet speak, or to
cause it to transmit sounds like a
telephone, you must surround the
pinhole burned with tin tube hav-
ing small hole in one end, through
which the burner projects a little
way. The bottom of the tin tube
must be made to connect with q
speaking tube, which may be in an
49,
Speak into the tube, no matter
how far away from the gas burner,
and the sound has to escape through
the hole through which the burner
projects, and is, therefore, forced
against the base of the gas fame,
which is always more sensitive. The
flame will take up the wave sounds
and magnify them SO that the words
can be heard all over a very large
room, and If you attach phono-
graph trumpet to the burner the
sounds will be still more increased in
strength and loudness.
To prove that it is really the gas
that does the talking, turn off the
gas and instantly the sounds cease,
though the person at the other end
of the speaking tube continues his
conversation.
If you force the gas through a
square or wire mesh, very fine and
raised above the burner, by holding
a lighted match above the wire gouze
the gas will burn only above it, maxi
ing a conical flame.
If you sing or play, whistle or talk
on level with the flame it will
dance in perfect time and you can
make it perform all sorts of antics
by changing from whistling to sing
ing, or from funeral march to
two-step.-N. Y. Sun.

BEGINNING HER CAREER.
How . Girl Should Pass the Interest.
ing Period Between the SCHOOL,
room and AltHr.

When girl begins her social career,
after completing her education, she
finds the world far different from what
she expected. The schoolroom. il one
thing, the world another. She may
have been popular with her teachers,
because she was>a diligent scholar. and
carried off the honors of the school.
But she finds that book knowledge does
not make herrpopular or successful So
cially. Some of the most intellectual
people we have. known have been
among the most disagreeable. AVON
an whose nature is aggressive, who
parades her knowledge before those
of inferior education, is an object to
be dreaded. Mere learning in a wom-
an is never attractive. It is, on the
contrary, offensive, unless coupled
with feminine graces.. School learn.
ing should sink into the character and
department., and only exhibit itself as
the perfume of a flower is exhibited
in a subtle, nameless, and unobtrusive
manner. A woman's intellectual ac-
quirements should not make her. talk
like an orator in daily life-they should
simply make her remuneration gracious
and agreeable. Mathematics should rem
der her mind clear and her judgments
true; her geographical studies should
teach her that the world is too small
for falseness to find hiding-place;
and history should impress her that
life is too short for unworthy ambi-
lions. The time between the school,
room and the altar should not be
mere harvest-time of pleasure, but
sowing time for all the seeds of kind
ness and self-sacrifice for others, and
of unselfshness and benevo.ence,
which alone can make her happy wife
and mother.-N. Y. Weekly.

ence the king was won over. She
persuaded the monarch to consent to
the match, urging that her son had
set his heart upon it and that to pre-
vent it might be followed by serious
consequences. It is said that the
queen has determined to divide her
immense fortune of $25,0OO,O0O be-
tween her two sons, Bernadotte and
Eugene. Miss Wild's fortune is large
She will be the second beautiful
Baltimorean to win royal husband,
the other being, of course, Miss Pat
terson, who married Jerome Bona
parte, brother of Napoleon I. In this
connection, however, it is interesting
to recall the fact that Prince Eugene
of Sweden is a descendant of one of
Napoleon's marshals, the famous
Bernadotte, founder of the present
royal house of Sweden.
Eugene of Sweden is one of the
most interesting princes in Europe.
Those who have followed his career
are not surprised to hear of the ro-
mantle match. He is handsome
young fellow, highly educated and of
artistic temperament. He has no
fads or vices, and from his youth has
been attracted toward serious and
artistic pursuits
The wedding, which will take place
soon, will be a private affair. It will
be celebrated in a little Catholic
church in Paris, in the Latin quarter,
where the pair have been accustomed
to attend service together. The GER
emory will be attended by intimate
friends of the pair, the king having
expressed the desire that the mar
riage be celebrated as quietly as pos
sible.-Philadelphia Press.

THE WELL-DRESSED GIRL.
Good Taste, Skillful Fingers and In
dustry Often Accomplish What
Money Fails to Do,

You may have an idea that the best
dressed girl is the one who spends the
most on her clothing, and that no girl
need consider herself well-dressedw who
has to plan and scrimp and make over
continually. This is a mistake. Good
taste and skillful fingers can often-ac-
complish what money fails to do.
The girl who does not dress to fit her
years is not well-dressed. For miss
in her teens to wear gowns fashioned
as deliberately as her mother, and of
as expensive material, proves someone
in error, either the mother or the girl
Form simple tastes. girls. Then you
will never be in doubt as to how YOU
shall dress; your own good sense will
tell you.
Some girls may have prettier dresses
than others, but there is no reason
why any girl should excel another in
neatness. A girl has herself to blame
if her shoes are rusty color instead
of attractive black. It is not lack of
money, but lack of energy, that is
shown when girls shoe is minus
some of it's buttons.
After all, it makes less difference
how girl is dressed than she some
times believes. To have a mind we'll
clothed and thoughts lovely and at
tractive, will do more to add to the
appearance of any girl than San the
most costly fabric. Clothe yourselves
with content, cheerfulness, and loving
thought for others, and, so your dress
he neat and fresh, you need have little
anxiety as to your appearance.-Girls'
Companion.

"A "Dick !. 4 : with
The President 4
By HOLMAN F. DAY.

HAPT. SIMON SHIBLES, OF Thomas
ton, Me-, sitting before his favorite
grocery store in the village square at
home, used to scrape his gnarled finger
auizzically down the side Of his nose
and declare that he did the thing as
easily as the scuttle-butt would roll
off the dog-yane. He wasn't afraid OF
President Andrew jackson and Presl-
dent Andrew Jackson wasn't afraid OF
him.
But all Of Capt. simon's bluff and
naive assurance wouldn't achieve to-
day what it did in the informal days
Of Andrew jackson. when the hedge
about the president of. the United
States was lower.
On one trip from Thomaston, Capt.
Simon, the heartiest skipper who
sailed past Owls Head in those days,
carried lime in his two-master. He had
his mind set on profitable venture,
but when he rounded at Baltimore, he
found there half a dozen other Maine
shippers, all with lime. Capt. Simon
did not stop to bother with that mar
ket. He hoisted anchor and sans and
posted to Alexandria. Two shippers
came after him.
"For," said one to his mate as they
swashed along, "old Shibles will sell
that lime, even if he has to tackle An
drew Jackson himself"
Capt. Simon was an early bird when
he had business ahead of him. On
the morning after his arrival at Alex
andria he was outand away, dressed in
his best, ere the mariners that were
trailing him got their eyes open. Like
most Yankee shippers Of those days,
Capt. Simon wore white trousers and
a longtailed blue coat. On his head
he balanced a bell-crowned beaver, it's
brim very close to the rims Of his jut-
ting ears. He made his short Jour
hey to the Washington landing on q
Kicker as the river stern-wheelers
were then dubbed. Out into the mar
ket he went to try to sell that lime.
He flew around from one dealer to an
other, his coattails streaming in the
wind, But no one wanted his lime at
what he considered decent price.
At last even that hearty courage of
his was daunted. He halted on street
corner, lifted off his beaver and rubbed
his perspiring brow with a big hand
kerchief that he dug out of the crown
of his hat. Then he drew from a gaping
pocket in his trousers silver watch
as big as his gnarled fist.
''Bein' as how this is the first time
Il have ever had the chance" said he,
IAN no breeze stirrin' an the tide
wrong an business slack's a jib reef
in a calm, I do believe I'll run up an
pay my respects to President Andrew
Jackson Of these ERE United States"

The Edge. of the Garnet.

It is the part of wisdom to examine
the edges of the carpet often in the
spring. If the carpet is not to be taken
from the floor remove the tacks, turn
back half yard all around the room,
wipe the floor and spray with benzine
in the cracks or use little carbolic
acid in the water. Then replace the
carpet, cover with damp sheet and
iron with hot fatiron. This will pro-
duce sufficient heat to destroy both
the moths and all their larvae.

Few people have been buster in Lon-

of the robes she has had her hands
about full for some time with the

not only for the coronation ceremonies
next june, but also for the series of
evening drawing rooms to be given
by the king and queen during the year.
She is sort of prime minister for the

It was still so early that the white
house servants were busy with busting
