The shah,s Big Graphophone.

The third machine that has been ex-
pressly built for the Shah OF Persia by
the Columbia PhonOgraph co il now
about to be shipped. 1t is by far the
largest talking machine ever construct
ed, and IL cannot fail to create sensa-
ton when it reaches Teheran. Along
side OF IL the regulation graphophones,
even OF the Grand types, look small
and unimportant.
The first special instrument to be
sent 10 the Shah was constructed two
years ago and was duplicate of ii
three-horned machine Of wonderful
workmanship which had been built for
exhibition at the Paris Exhibition OF
1900 The Shah saw it there and Was
anxious to haye 1t, but he compromised
ON a duplicate OF IL which was ordered
later by cable and shipped 10 Persia a
few months later.
After something more than year
had elapsed there came an inquiry from
reheran, for much larger machine,
and while plans for It's construction
we're maturing and price was being
agreed upon an order came for the
smallest graphophone that could be
made. This was duly furnished and
went forward with the result that 4
third order was received, this last for
the very large graphophone, with Ger.
tain mod fications. the ulding OF
which had b .en under consideration for
some months the records are about
four times us long as the usual cylind
ers and they are much larger la diane
ter. The machine is equipped with
the latest style Of reproducer and the
vocal and Instrumental selections are
rendered with surp is.ng fidelity and
In "a faultless IN inner.
This shipment will consist OF the
mammoth graphophone, horn OF APP
propriBte mensions and a generous
supply of records and blanks. The
Shah is already better ,qnipp will
graphophones than any other ruler il
the world, aud when his latest purcha,'
reaches his palace there will be none t.
compete with him.

THE EIGHT HOUR A DAY PLAN.
An Advocate of tho Reform Makes sugges'
tions to Housewives.


While the eight-hour plan for domes-
tic service has fallen far short Of sue
cess in the quarters where its trial has
been given most publicity, its imprac-
tlcability has not yet been so far
proved that advocates for the reform
have ceased to recommend it. In the
first Of n series Of articles on the sub
ject, by Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, in the
American Kitchen Magazine, the au-
thor says that as soon as household
work becomes of the intermediate
grade between groveling labor and
creative work the eight-hour day in
service will come in. Then each work
er will know what he or she has to do,
and will go about it intelligently, and
come to 1t fresh every morning, be-
cause it has not lain like nightmare
on the breast every night.
In a comparison between the trades
and domestic work Mrs. Richards ar
CUES that because the eight-hour trades
worker chooses his work, he has op-
portunity to do 1t until he becomes pro-
ficient and from that fact comes the
pleasure of accomplishment, because
work we'll done is always delight.
She says:
"As rule, the eight-hour wage earn

ing said that the pantry was to be
cleaned, at the last moment the order
is changed, and something required

Extravagant millinery.

One Of the extrayagances Of the new
millinery calls for sits anywhere
which shall make the hat more effec-
tive. There is no thought Of whether
the hat may be made over into some
other style some time or cut into it
now.
There is no denying that a certain
style may be obtained by the method.
Take picture hat, q soft flop shape,
of faint blue felt face it with velvet
of blue a few shades darker. Then run
velvet ribbons an inch wide of a blue
shade three or four degrees darker
than the hat. Make four rows of vel
vet threading through Sits which are
two inches apart. And do not put an
other stitch of anything onto the hat.
These silk" hats sometimes are seen
with the ribbon running of a contrast
ing shade. The effect is rather BIZ
zarre for fine taste.
A nonchalant fashion OF using the
slit on hat for general wear is to cut
the side of the crown in two places
near together and run velvet folds
through, letting the ends hang over the
side of the hat. The slit takes the
place of a buckle.-Nashyille Amer
