FEW PAID WOMEN DRIVERS.
One Occupation, Mt Least, of Which
Man Remains in Undisputed
Supremacy.

One occupation that women do not
appear to take to is that of driving.
1t is not unusual to see women driving
pleasure vehicles, runabouts, phaetons
and that sort of thing, in the parks and
uptown avenues, but it is very unusual
to see a woman driving any sort of a
business vehicle in the lower part of
the city, says the New York Sun.
A man whose business for dozen
years has taken him here and there
about the city says that in all that
time he has never seen woman driv-
ing truck, and only two women driv-
ing wagons. And in one of these two
cases the wagon was apparently from
garden truck farm somewhere just
off Manhattan Island, leaving just one
regular business wagon belonging here
that had a woman driver.
Women have found their way into
many occupations that formerly were
monopolized by men; but they certain
" have not interfered very much with
mans monopoly of the work of driving,

WHISPERS ON WASHINGTON
Small Marble Statue of the First Pres
ident That Takes On a Sim
gular Appearance.

Judson Clayton, proprietor of the
Lady Washington inn, at Huntington
Valley, Pa, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, has a small mar
BILE statue of Gen. George Washington
on the lawn adjoining his house that
requires constant shaving to keep it
from raising a beard and mustache.
Periodically growth of moss makes
its appearance on the upper lip, chin
and cheeks of the stone figure, and if
left untouched for any length of time
it develops into close-cropped beard
and mustache, giving to the image of
the Father of His Country an ex-
tremely dandified appearance. If the
moss is not interfered with it will
grow to a point resembling the APP
proved cut that BARRIERS give to the
boards of men of fashion. Every few
months the action of the weather
causes the face of the marble statue
to become coated with the velvety
moss, and a shave is in order. The
freak whiskers have made the statue
quite a curiosity in the vicinity.

FINE VENETIAN LACES.
A Great Advance Has Been Made on
the Methods of Primitive
Needle Workers.

The stamp Of perfected elegance
which all Venice lace bears is the re-
suit of its having been evolved in a
period and environment of luxury and
constantly widening art development,
says the Chautauquan. Primitive
needlewomen display no art ingenuity
in getting beyond the simpler twisted
effects in thread work. The product
of native Indians, of Syrians, of South
Americans, and even of the Mexicans,
is all fiat. Twisted threads forming
meshes similar to those seen in veil
ings and with "star" ground, are the
sole resource of these workers, to
whom even the open buttonhole stitch
as an embellisbment Is unknown.
Though often most complex In de-
sign, the early laces of Italy and Spain
were equally fiat until the workers
began to initiate with the needle the
raised and knotted effects of the hard
reticella or bone laces of Greece. Once
the method of applying the buttonhole
stitch became known among them,
however, the experimenters among the
more enlightened workers of those
countries, and later of France and
England, were untiring in testing the
possibilities. Soon this stitch became
the basis of all Venetian laces, II was
used for the making OF every portion
of the.patteFn, including the plain and
ornamental brides that connected the
closely paced but irregular, motifs;
for the, eordonneis or raised borders
and edges. and even for the flling-in
stitches.

A HUNTING EPISODE.
a Disadvantage as Is Here
Seen.

Two hunters who were shooting in
New Jersey were not equally matched
as regards skill in shooting.
One of them bagged many birds,
while the other did not get feather,
says Judge.
"What, no." said the first, "but you
are punk. Why don't you practice with
a pop-gun? You could not hit a barrel
if you poked the end of your fowling-
piece in the bung-hole."
The other said nothing, but he gazed
sadly on his empty bag and enyiously
at the birds his companion had slaugh-
tered.
AS they were about to start for
home they met an affable stranger,
who asked: "What luck?"
"I have killed % birds" said the good
shot, "while this lobster here has not
killed one. Isn't he a chump to carry
such a heavy gun all day?"
"Well, lam not sure" said the affable
stranger. 81 am game warden and
this is the closed season. Those birds
will cost you ten dollars apiece"
Moral-A bird in the game bag is
sometimes worth a whole bunch in the
bushes.

A LOAF CENTURIES OLD.
1t Was Found In n Cave-DwelIing in
Arizona and Is Now in a
Museum.

A notable recent contribution to the
archaeological museum of the Univer.
sity of Arizona is loaf of bread found
in a cave dwelling in the Superstition
mountains of central Arizona in 1879
and since that time in the possession OF
Herbert Brown, superintendent of the
territorial prison, says a Tuscon re-
port.
The loaf is undeniably bread, and
without doubt is Of great age. 1t was
found embedded in the ashes wherein
it was baked probably hundreds or per.
haps thousands of years ago. 1t had
very plainly been wrapped in cloth or
mat, and the marks of the fiber of the
cloth are visible in the dark, brick-like
mass. Mr.. Brown is'of the opinion that
the bread was made of mesquite beans
roughly ground in metates by the
aboriginal housewives of centuries ago
With it was found store of ancient
sscrificial implements, stone axes and
arrowheads. The loaf has been steril.
lied by the curator of the museum, and
has been sealed within glass jar.

QUEER CAUSE FOB iANeERD1
4 Busy Lawyer Got Mad Because He
Had TO Accept n Fee of Fifty
Thousand Dollars.

Attorney General Knox, while a
practicing attorney, was one of the
busiest lawyers in America. A few
years ago he was much put out be-
cause he had to accept fee of $780,
900. A friend met him as he was
leaving the Office, and he was swear
ing mad, relates the Washington
Post. He was quivering with yexa-
ton and swearing with piratical
vigor.

asked the friend, who was used to
his ways, and not much concerned
over the outburst.

fix my price, and said $4,000, think
ing that would put them out of mind.
1t did not. They took me up, and
my plans are all upset"
"Well, guess you can stand to
have your plans busted" dryly re-
marked the friend. as he wondered If
there was any other lawyer in the
world who could be made mad by
being forced to accept $4,000.

The President,s snIary.

BY the act of congress of September
"a, 1893, and again on February IS,
1898, the salary of the president of
the United States was fixed at $4,000
and that of the vice president at 1000.
That of the president continued the
same until March 3, 1878, when it was
raised to 1000. at which time U. s.
Grant was president. The salary Of
the vice president was raised to 49,
900 in 1853, to $4,000 March 3, 1873,
and January 20. 1874. it was again
reduced to $4,000. The constitution
of the United States says: THE
president shall. at stated times, re-
,eive for services a compensation
which shall neither be increased nor
diminished during the period for
which he shall be elected"

DEFEATED THE BIcYCLIsTs.

$50 and hitch up the ostrich" is not
at all an absurd command on an ostrich
farm. There these great birds are
often harnessed to a carriage, and
make fairly good substitutes for
$Aorses. Although they cannot draw
"a heavy load, their speed is a recon-
mendation, says Youths Companion.
AT Jacksonville, Fla, there is bird
named Oliver w. that can run a mile
IN two minutes and % seconds. His
owners claim that he is more salts
factory than horse because he eats
less, never SHES at anything, never
runs away, and goes steadily at a good
pace without laziness or fatigue.
This particular ostrich appears to
like his work. When the little carriage
is brought out he comes running to-
ward it at full speed, with both wings
spread out, ready to have the harness
put on.
On one occasion a cyclist tried to
pass Oliver Won a long, smooth
stretch of road. He came up behind
the carriage, thinking to get ahead and
escape the dust. Oliver w. thought
differently. He threw hissbead high
in the air, gave a flap with his wings,
and went forward with a speed that
astonished the cyclist. Putting forth
more effort, the latter made another
attempt to pass the ostrich, but the
faster the pedals of the bicycle moved
the faster sped fhe long legs of the
bird.
1t so happened that the cyclist had
a record as fast rider, and to be dis
tanced by an ostrich was not to his
liking. For two miles he tried 10 pass
his feathered rival, but was then
obliged to give up the race, defeated.
Some fast horses have tried conclu-
sions with Oliver w., who seems to like
nothing better than testing their
speed, starting slowly to make them
think it easy to distance him, and then
gradually increasing his pace.

A TOWNS RAPID JRowrH.
Population Jumped from 600 to 49,
900 as n Result of Visit from
President Hayes and Party.

Mr.. George Clements, of Kansas
City, a well-known knight of the
sample case, is responsible for the
following story, says the Baltimore
News:
Talk about the rapid growth of
cities, why, Neosho Falls, Kan, holds
the record. l think the town is still
on the map, but / won't be sure. At
any rate. l remember when the popu-
lation jumped in one day from 600 to
10000, and the next day jumped back
again. This was merely occasioned
by a fair, and not a country fair at
that, but simply little crossroads
celebration. 1t was just after Presi-
dent Hayes had been elected. He was
touring the west at the time, and the
citizens of Neosho Falls secured a
promise from him to attend their
fair. The town was fortunately on
the line of a railroad, with a service
of two trains a day, but when the
proposed visit gang of workmen at
once started to lay sidings. AT least
a dozen were constructed around the
little frame station, together with a
Y for the convenience of the engines.
When the great day arrived the pres
ident was at hand, with several mem
bers of his cabinet and military es-
cort from Fort Riley. The railroad
company estimated that 10000 people
visited Neosho Falls that day, and 1
dare say some of them are talking
about it yet. The next day the Wis
itors were all gone, for there were no
hotel accommodations, and nothing
to feed them with. The gang of work
men came back and tore up the sid
ings and the Y, and the town again
resumed its normal placidity, just as
though nothing had happened"

The Presidents omciaI Picture.

The engravers at the bureau of en-
craving and printing have completed
yignette of President Roosevelt
that will always be used as the of
fetal picture of the president. After
his death it may be used on govern
ment money or securities, but not
until then. This vignette was made
from what was decided to be the
best photograph of the president
after every photograph he has had
taken in the last ten years had been
examined.

INDIAN GOLD HOARDERS.
MiIIinrds Upon Milliards of Francs
Supposed to Be Lying Idle In
Hiding Places. n

OF the outpouring of gold which
during four centuries has been scat
tered all over the world, an immense
portion remains idle in India, where
it has been imbedded. In India the
gold returns to the earth and re'
mains there more completely hidden
than it was in it's original state. The
amount of gold. brought into India
during the past 60 years, that is to
say, from 1897 to. 1898, is greater by
three milliards nine hundred and for
ty-three millions of francs than the
amount exported. The soil Of India
absorbs the floods of gold just as the

An Ingenious Girl.

An ingenious girl who wanted extra
pin money used her large acquaint.
ance list to further her desire. She
collected the names and add uses of
all the engaged girls that she pos
sibly could from her friends and their
friends, giving a nominal sum pre-
sumably as a joke to the accommo-
dating individuals. When she had col
lected large list of brides-to-be, she
visited shops where the proprietors
were apt to be interested in furnish
ing trousseaux and bridal fxings gen.
orally and sold each name and address
for certain sum. Evidently the ar
rangement was satisfactory, but the

prised to receive catalogues from
