else has seen some other women make
an effort to perform the feat. AS a
practical solution of the question of
what to do with the umbrella when
not in use and both hands are wanted
for some other purpose this invention
seems complete, and as it's use elimi-
mates the possibility of losing an UNI
brella by laying it on a counter when
shopping it will probably beconsidered
good Investment by ladies who have
met with this misfortune. The device
consists Of a single piece of leather,
cut to form a straight hanger, with
two staps projecting from either side
to clasp the umbrella at about it's
thickest part. The fastening devices
may be either buckles or snap buttons,
though the latter are preferred. The
hanger may be attached to the belt by
the eyelet at the upper end, which is
formed of another snap button secured
in the proper place to allow the point
of the strap to be folded back on it.
self. The hanger adds no perceptible
weight to the costume, and it is very
easy to detach the umbrella should it
be needed in a hurry. Eva M. Bowyer
of Chicago, H., is the inventor of this
practical novelty. {

Why His Stay Was Brief.

A. S. l.. Shields said that some of
the testimony in the recent Salter
trial reminded him of a case of an
old negro who had been called as a
witness, and whom the lawyer for
the defense tried to discredit by such
questions as:
80 your name is Sam Miller, is
it?" Are you the Sam Miller who
was arrested and sent to prison for
stealing?"
mo, sah," replied the darkey.
'iNo? Well, then you are the Sam
Miller, aren't you, who smashed a lot
of store-windows once when drunk
and disorderly?"

or thin wood folded to the proper
shape, the folds being secured by q
double rivet, through which is insert
ed the wire bail on which the guard
is mounted. In order that the protect
ing hood may be adjusted in several
positions notched flap is secured to
the top at right angles to the bail,
the flap being folded down fiat when
1t is desired to tilt the guard on the
support posts of the bail. The pro-
tectors can be folded into small space

short time to insert the ball in the
eyelets and force the ends of the wire
into the earth on either side Of the

as may be frequently desired, to al

cIose-Fisted Old Gentleman Had Met
His Match.
A close-fisted old gentleman lost
his dog, and let it be known that he
might give q dollar, for the return
of the same"
A few days later the dog was
brought back to the owner, who pre-
sented the finder with quarter.
Here! Wot's this?" demanded the
man. "You promised me dollar if |
found the dog"
NAY, friend" said the Quaker,
what l said was that l might give
thee a dollar. Now I'm thinking that
quarter is sufficient. What dost
thou think?"
What the man thought he didn't say
just then. Within a week, however,
the careful Quaker had lost his dog
again.
Having a shrewd suspicion where
the animal was, the owner hunted up
the original finder and asked him il
he had seen anything of it. The reply
was distinctly non-committal.
I'm thinking" grinned the man,
"that thou hast soon lost thy dog
again, friend. What dost thou think?"
Ultimately the old gentleman re-
covered his dog again, but it cost him

Coats for Autumn.

The coats of all the costumes de-
signed for early autumn are made
long enough TO come more than half
way down the skirt, and the short
jacket of last year and the year be
fore is quite out of date. And yet,
to show how capricious is fashion,
an immensely smart little coat is on
the old-fashioned REFER style, double
breasted and curved in at the sides.
After all, the fashion which remains
as many styles come and go, is to pay
more and more attention to the Ques-
ton of which style is becoming to the
especial individual who is to wear it,
and from all present Indications the
autumn and winter will not show any
more definitely marked lines than did
last year.-Harper's Bazaar.

a 4O,OOO-Acre Farm.

The agriculturist who carefully cul-
tivated 40 or 60 or so acres and calls
it farm is likely to look upon
quarter section"-the regulation
homestead of 160 acres--as large es-
tate; an entire section "a mile square)

mendous area, and a half dozen Sec

OF a farm on which 100 to $50 men are
employed; farm whose farthest cor
ner is II miles from the farm house;
farm that requires three bookkeep-
ers and stenographers to make rec

That is the scale on which M. NJ

acres. Every year he sells more than

Effective Fashion Note.

An effective example of the fash
ionable blue and green idea was a
costume OF green taffeta almost hid
den by dark blue voile. On the skirt
there were broad vertical double folds
of the voile fastened at one side only,
SO that the slightest movement
showed lines of green. The blouse
was built in the same way, and had
tiny ruching of green point d'esprit
at throat and sleeves. The green in
this costume was so soft, although
light in tone, that 1t blended most
harmoniously with the blue.

Popular Science.

In McClure'S Magazine, Vol. XVIII,
No. 8, is an account of explorations
in and around the Great Pyramid OF
Egypt. Is it true, the explorer asks
his Arab guide, tnat the passage into
the pyramid points straight to the
North Star? 81 had a caprice to test
this thing that l had read in books.
So l clambered up, then down into

mination, shone directly down the
passageway. Since that time the
professional motion has carried the
pole star of those days far away
from the North Pole of the heavens
and thus brought another star-Pola--

Mica SPRINGS.

The American Machinist. of recent
date says: "Mr. w. c. Leland, a ma
chinist of Brooklyn, referring to our
inquiry some time ago for a spring
made of substance whicn would not
be affected by heat, sends us some
pieces of mica arranged to act as a
flat spring, and he says that a mica
spring continues to act as spring
when exposed to very high tempera-
lures. A specimen he sends us acts
as spring when held in a gas flame
and continues to so act for a consid-
erable time-at least as long as our
patience has held out. to test it. OF
course, as many layers of mica may
be superposed as is necessary to get
the desired thickness and for ex-
perimental purposes at least we would
imagine that such spring may be
quite useful"

Elevator for cinder Pits.

Anyone who has ever watched the
men shoveling hot ashes out Of the
cinder pits where the fire boxes of en-
gines are dumped after each,
trip of the road can readily
understand the Importance of the in
vention by William Robertson of Chi
cago, illustrated below The ashes
must first be cooled by thoroughly
wetting with water, which makes them
heavy to handle, and ona hot day in
summer the heat in the pit is sufficient
to cause actual suffering among the
men who are called upon to perform
this disagreeable task
The object of this invention is to
provide an apparatus which can be
easily installed and adapted to con-
vey the cinders from the pit and dis
charge them into large cars for trans
portation to the ordinary deposit. The
elevator consists of cable car rum
ming on an inclined track, with hy-
draulic or compressed air cylinder for
hauling in the cable and pulling the
car up the incline. When the car
reaches point directly above the re-
ceiving car an automatic trip opens
the floor and discharges the contents.
The elevator is controlled by a valve,
which is turned in one direction to
admit compressed air or water back
of the piston, driving it downward and
pulling on the cable until the car is
lifted to the proper height. When the
dumping process is completed the
valve is reversed to allow the fluid
