An English commercial traveller re-
siding at Leeds-he ought to have been
a Yankee drummer In order to make
the story consistent-appears to have
solved the hitherto insoluble problem
of providing a dry seat in an open
street car in wet weather He has
adopted the principle Of the roller
topped desk. When the cover is on
the ordinary electric car suggests a
double-decked railway saloon; when II
is off the vehicle resumes its usual
aspect, with the addition of the light
circular girders which sustain the
roller covering In position, says the
Leeds Mercury. To remove the roller
covering all that is necessary to be
done Is to release 1t and allow it to de-
scend into easements provided for It
at the sides of the ear. This it does in
three sections on each s!de-first the
windows-for windows are provided
and then successfully the other two
sections. the easement accommodating
them side by side. The roller covering
IS sandwiched with india rubber and
thus made not only waterproof but
also electric proof.

One of the reasons why Mexico is TAX
ing the lead as a health resort is that
the national intoXicant OF Mexico,
pulque. made from the agave, or cen
fury plant. IS one of the best remedies
in cases of asthma and consumption
known. Unfortunately, pulque Is only
good when freshly fermented, and will
not bear transportation, and for that
reason one has to go to Mexico to drink
1t. The value of pulque in consump-
ton was discovered several years ago
by American invalids, who went to
Mexico for their health. and who were
almost cured by drinking small quaint
ties OF liquor at stated Intervals. 1t is
now recommended by physicians to all
persons troubled with pulmonary com
plants.

o Columbia. the gem Of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free.

A world offers homage to thee.

When liberty's form stands in view.
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and

Thy banners make tyranny tremble,

When war waged it's wide desolation.
And threatened our land to deform,
The ark then of freedoms foundation,

With her garland of victory DER her,
When so proudly she bore her bold
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast of the Red, White and Blue,
The wine-cup, the wine-cup, bring hither,
And fill you it up to the brim;
May the wreaths they have won never
wither,
Nor the star Of their glory grow dim!
May the service united neer sever,
And hold to their colors so true!
The Army and the Navy forever!
Three cheers for the Red, White and
Blue.

Secure | rest upon the wave,
For thou, o Lord, hast power to save.
know thou wilt not slight my call,
For thou dost mark the sparrow's fall;
And calm and peaceful is my sleep,
Rocked in the cradle Of the deep.
And such the trust that still were mine,
Though stormy winds swept DER the

Or though the tempest's fiery breath
Housed me from sleep to wreck and
death.
In oceans caves still safe with thee,
The germ of Immortality;
And calm and peaceful is my sleep
Rocked in the cradle of the deep.
