Humble Beginning of Gay city's Lead
ing Man MilIiner.
Paguin, the leading man milliner of
Paris, was a clerk on the bourse a few
years ago, with no knowledge of dress
making. He is a very handsome nan
and when he met a pretty dressmaker
who had a small shop he married her.
Gradually the two extended their es-
tablishment until to-day they are the
joint aristocrats of fashion, standing
easily at the head of all dressmakers
in the French capital. Once thorough
ly established in a prominent way, the
clever and ornamental young couple
inaugtIrated a new regime. No naughty
seclusion, no barred doors at the Mai
son Pequin. Madame was met at the
door by monsieur himself, and to be
met by Pequin was a treat. The most
beautiful of Partisan elegantes and
the homeliest old dowager received
the same flattering welcome, the same
tender interest. The charming WON
an, the handsome man, both so deeply
interested, both so deferential, both SO
intelligent. This was a new expert
ence and the Parisienne smiled and
purred, bought more than she intended
and came again.

Audible Railway Signals.

The Northern of France Railway
makes use of a system of audible sig
nails to indicate when the distant sig
nal is at caution. Between the rails
is placed an insulated brass plank
about 6 feet 6 inches long. This is so
arranged that when the distant is at
caution a wire brush fitted to the en-
CINE passes in contact with the plank
and operates a whistle in the cab.
This requires the fitting of each dis
tant signal with the necessary batter
les and their up-keep, as well as the
engines themselves; but they do not
seem to find this very much, and are
quite satisfied with the system.

Forming New EyeIids.

A remarkable surgical triumph has
been won by a Philadelphia doctor,
who has succeeded in grating a new
set of upper and lower eyelids on the
eyes of a man who lost his original
set in a fire. The accident had left
both eyeballs entirely unprotected,
and there was danger of the victim
losing his sight entirely. When the
ease vas brought to the attention of
the doctor he resolved to graft four
new eyelids, if possible, taking the
skin from the hip of the patient. 1t
was necessary to proceed slowly, but
the experiment was successful from
the start. To-day the patient has four
new eyelids, which perform the nor
nal functions naturally.

A Kaiser Anecdote.

The kaiser is fond of children, and
likes them to answer frankly the ques-
lions he asks them. While visiting the
Syrian orphanage at Jerusalem-one
of the institutions that owes it's ex-
istence to the German Protestant Mis-
sion-the emperor examined the little
native scholars in geography. He
asked one boy what those African
states were called that were not under
the sway of native rulers. German
colonies" was the prompt reply, which
elected from William II. the following
laughing observation: IF 1 were to
carry out this boys dangerous policy
of annexation it would plunge me at
once into a war with England and
France!"

Glasgow old-Foayish.

Glasgow is quite free from corrup.

about the ideal municipal government
of the city" said a Glasgow man now
touring this county to an interviewer

ments are far behind those of many
cities in the United States. The cleo
trio lights are queer, old-fashioned
things, and the city permitted the
construction of overhead wires for the

sent to various cities to look into cleo
trio light systems and electric rail-
ways system. 1 can't imagine where
they went, for they brought back a los

what About Your school Hou.es9

You may not this season be able to
build a new one, or make the radical
changes in the old one that you had
in contemplation, but there is no school
district in the United States that can
not afford to tint with Alabastine the
interior of their buildings, thus max
ing them more attractive, getting coll
ors made with special reference to
their effects on the eyes of the pupils,
getting a sanitary aud rock base ce-
ment coating that win not harbor dis
ease germs.
The closely crowded school rooms
need all the safeguards to the health
of the pupil that intelligent officials
can surround them with, and all saRi-
tarlans unite in saying that Alabastine
is the only proper material to be used
on such walls.

Kettle-B BRIDGES.

Perhaps the most remarkable
bridges in the world are the kettle
bridges, of which the Cossack soldiers
are expert builders. The materials of
which they are constructed are the
soldiers lances and cooking kettles.
Seven or eight lances are passed under
the handles of a number of kettles and
fastened by means of ropes to form a
raft. A sufficient number of these
RATS, each of which will bear a weight
of half a ton, are fastened together,
and in the space of an hour a bridge
is formed on which an army may cross
with confidence and safety.

She has a niece who is a very lively

a lot of wicked brothers. A few weeks

acquaintance solemnly winked and

silent for a time but later were heard
chattering together in a friendly fash
