VERY PROMINENT WOMEN.

The recent. publication Of thirty -one
letters, in which conspicuous Ameri-
can women frankly tell of their exper-
fence with Wine Of Cariui with the
hope of aiding their suffering sisters
has attracted much attention. These
letters are from women of the first
rank-public speakers, club members,
well known singers, authors, social
leaders and professional women.
Among the writers are Mrs. Ida Nc
Donald, No. 477 Beaubien street,
Detroit, Mich, supreme deputy Of
the Maccabees of the World Mrs.
Clementine Richmond of Chicago,

the shakespearian Club, of Kansas

CHURCH IN SPANISH STYLE.

Form OF Architecture Popular in Pen
sacoIa as in Early Days.
It is noticeable that the vestry of
Christ Church parish, Pensacola, Fla,
has taken the Spanish architectural
form, for a new church building for
the parish. This is most appropriate.
Pensacola was in all its early history
Spanish colonial city; it's streets
and public places are known by Span
ish names; many Of the people have
Spanish blood in their veins; there is
still the Spanish atmosphere there,
as in St. Augustine, although modern
Pensacola Is truly American. Visit
ors to 1tnat City expect to see some
thing recalling the ancient history of
the place; but such is the force of
innovation that, with the passage of
time, all relics are likely to be oblit-
Grated, and no distinction be trace
able between town in Spanish Flor
ida and a town in Oklahoma, says the
Mobile (Ala.) Register. To counter
act this tendency-at least in part
the new church building is to be a
return to ancient forms. It will re-
semble Spanish mission church in
general style, with here and there the
graceful ornamentatlon that is seen
in the Seville cathedral. This. much
we deduce from seeing the picture of
the new church. We assume that the
design was selected with the object
above stated. ~. j.. >~f.. .'~-

rooms, fats or the upper stories of
buildings where the yard space is
very limited or not to be had at all,
and where recourse must be had to:
the roof or to lines strung from wall
to wall outside the buildings. The
supports by which it is maintained in
position are permanently fixed to
the window frame and can easily. be
put in place by hand, and as the en-
tire drying frame is of light material
it requires little exertion to place it
on it's supports for use or remove it
from the sockets when an unobstruct-
ed view from the window is desired.
The rack is made up principally of
wooden bars of light weight, while
the supports are light steel rods,
which are formed with hooks at their
inner ends to enter screw eyes In
serted in the window frame. AS the
framework is hinged and the rods are
detachable, it is easy to fold the ap-:
paratus up into small space inside
the room when not in use. Kingman

Stories Of Snake Bites.

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about
the great number of deaths from
snake bites in India are to a great
extent unreliable as statistics when
carefully analyzed. He accounts,
moreover, for these extreme exaggera-
tions in figures on very plausible
grounds. In India, he says, the law
requires that when there is a sudden
death detailed report of it must be
made to the civil surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths far from
the civic offices where the report
should be made, the under officers per-
form their duty with the least possible
trouble. To save the annoyance of
transporting dead bodies, or vital or
gans, and the loss of time in getting
evidence on the facts of the cases
which may be plain murders, by poi
son or otherwise-a report of death
by "snake bite. is made. This sort
of report is very convenient and
makes interesting statistics. -

A Mechanical DIRECTORY.


The inventor who originated the

shown contemplates one of the most
complete and convenient arrange.
ments for finding name that can be
Imagined, as the simple turning of a
crank in either direction rapidly ex-
poses page after page of names on
an endless sheet of paper.
The chief feature of this idea lies
IN the index arrangement, as, were
it not for this index, it would be nee
essary to slow down the revolution
of the sheet to scan the names from
time to time, in order to reach the
desired words. This index is a mar
row printed, strip, whose characters
pass in front of a small slot in the
face of the cabinet and the actuating
mechanism is. geared down to a point
which makes the characters pass the
slot slowly enough to be easily caught
by, the eye, even when the sheet of
names is travelling at it's highest rate
Of speed When the proper character
Is reached the corresponding section
OF the sheet is presented behind the
glass face of the cabinet ..
Provision is also made for the in.
sertlon of periodical sheets of correc.

being sure to fall in an inconvenient
place to reach or dropping out of
sight altogether. This invention will
enable the driving of screws in cor
ners and other places difficult of ac-
cess, in which it is impossible to hold
the screw with one hand while it is
given the first turn with the driver
In such ceases it is customary to bal
ance the screw by it's slot at the end
of the driver and trust to chance to
maintain it there long enough to
insert it in the hole for which it Is
intended. This invention contem-
plates the placing of pair of spring
controlled clamps at the tip of the
driver to grip the head of the screw
and insure it's remaining in position
until it is securely entered in its
socket. To place the screw in the
jaws the latter are opened by depress-
ing the rear extensions, when the tip
of the driver is inserted in the slot
and the jaws are allowed to close
over the head. When tits desired-to
use the driver without the jaws it is
only necessary to slide the whole
clamping arrangement back toward
the handle, exposing the tip of the
driver clear of the jaws.

ing water is always kept on hand,
as cats suffer from thirst more than
is generally realizea.
A Wh:::e cat should be cleaned ex.
,actly as you would clean the fashion
able white neck fur. The hand of the
cleaner should be dampened, not wet
in some water in which a few drops
OF ammonia have been poured. The
cat should then be strOked. It should
then be- sprinkled generously with
-four, which must be rubbed we'll into
the fur. This must then be thorough.
ly brushed out, and the coat polished
with silk handkerchief. This cere.
mony should be rarely indulged in,
as healthy cat will keep itself clean
in clean surroundings. The cats at
the farm in question realize prices
which frequently run into three fig
ures, so the care bestowed ON them
is not altogether unreasonable.

Impulse Water Wheels.

The growing Importance of water
power, resulting from the wide ex:
tension Of the electric art, has COM
PEELED the designing of several sorts
tY water wheels and the wider use of
those already known. A sample OF
the latter sort is to be seen in the
accompanying cut, being what is
called an impulse wheel, as distin-
guished from "a turbine. In this case
the Wheel takes its impulse from a jet
of water, which is brought against the
buckets shown on the periphery of
the wheel. These are of an elliptical
form and are very efficient. The
water column is brought against one
side of the curved bucket, giving an
impulse; as it emerges from the
bucket 1t thrusts against the other
side of the ellipsoidal bucket and
gives another impulse, thus availing
itself of its original force as derived
from its own head, and from its ef-
fort to get away again from the
wheel. This will appear from the
