AUTOMOBILE NOTES.

Fournier thinks that America will
be as automobile crazy as Is his native
France within a year or two.
American capitalists are reported to
have taken the initial steps toward es=
tablishing a system of public auto
mobiles in the city of Manila.
Automobiles across the Caucasus
for carrying the Russian mail are to
supplant the present transport post
horses, with changes every ten miles.
Charron, the famous French racing
chauffeur, is an enthusiastic horse
man, and maintains one of the larg-
est racing stables in France, accord
ing to dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
What is said to be the largest motor
in the world is that being erected by Il
French doctor, in which he intends,
with two students, to make trip
around the world, 1t will contain two
sleeping apartments, large work.
room and four big tanks for storing
oil
As between automobiles and horse
drawn vehicles the bralling facilities
of the former are usually far superior
to those OF the latter. The average
American-built motor vehicle of what
ever type may be brought to a stand
still from a 20-mile-an-hour rate of
speed in less space than can team
being driven at a moderate trot-say,
seven miles an hour.

EXERCISE YOUR MEMORY.
1t Does Not Fail But Simply Becomes
: Lnnguid from Lack of Free
luent Use.

Memory does not ''fail' Except in
loss of all the faculties); it simply
gets weak and languid for want of use
just as the physical organs do. Peo-
pie often say My memory is failing"
when it is really as good as ever, if
they would give it a chance, says
Everywhere. A word, date, name,
an incident, comes up, or rather fails
to come up when you want it. There
seems to be no possible way of remem-
bering it. You make two or three eff
forts, give up and say: There's no
use; it's gone from mel"
Nonsense-it hasn't! 1t is there just
as much as it ever was; only there
are lot of things over it. Keep at
work; bring your will to bear upon it;
try and try and try, and after awhile
you will get it.
And better, you will find that the ex-
ercise required in remembering it will
help you next time and that little
toll and determination put together
will accomplish wonders in the whole
range of the faculties. Look over
your memory. see where you are de-
4icient, and exercise it in that respect.
You can do it at any odd time, while
you are walking, riding, resting after
days work, or listening perforce to
n dull speaker. Don't let few fail
ures discourage you; the long CORR
doris of recollection, lined upon both
sides with valuable material will be
opened for you because of your i'm
portunity, if you use it,

KAISER W1LHELM's UNIFORMS
The German Emperor Has Two Com
pIete Outfits of Everything
to Wear.

Kaiser Wilhelm, as is well known, is
different regiments in his own army
and as many more in the other armies
of Europe. He holds several actual
and honorary commissions in differ
ent fleets, belongs to numerous orders
of military and civil distinction, and
to other organizations which have re-
galias that must be worn on ceremo-
NAL occasions. Hence, when he visits
foreign country or is travelling about
his own dominions, he never knows
what uniforms and regalia he may
need, and therefore must carry large
quantity of baggage, says Modern So
ciety. He has two complete outfits of
everything, one of which is usually
kept on the imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern and the other in baggage or
wardrobe car, built especially for the
purpose, and part of his private rail
way train.
The master of the robes, assisted by
several Wallets, has charge of the en-
peror's wardrobe, and when the train
is in motion can produce at an in
stant's notice any uniform or regalia
in which he may desire to appear at
the next station. If he happens to be
passing through garrison town
where one of his favorite regiments is
stationed it pleases them and it
pleases him to greet the officers and
men from the platform of his car in
the same uniform they are wearing.
IF he crosses the border of another
country it is considered a compliment
for him to dress in the uniform of the
army or navy of that country. Hence
it is important to. have his wardrobe
car with him ON all his Journeys.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Suggestions Regarding "a Number of
Matters Which Require Fer
Attention.

To keep the dining-room table in a
good, well-polished condition, rub it
once a week with mixture of one
ounce of spirits of turpentine and one
ounce of olive oil. Apply it with a
piece of flannel cloth.
Wet fruit stains with alcohol or
pour boiling water through them. If
the stain is from tea or fruit do not
put the article in cold water or the
stain will become set. Pour boiling
water over it until it disappears, which
it will do if quite fresh.
When making boiled starch, stir it
round several times with wax can
die. This will prevent the starch
sticking to the iron and save much
trouble, says the Chicago Daily News.
One way of sterilizing milk is to
place the bottle or can containing it
in vessel of water on the fire and al
low it to remain there until it reaches
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, keeping it at
this temperature for half an hour be-
fore setting it aside to cool.
To take stains out of silk or wooden
aDl iIS lila Ill IL IWO-OuIlcc DOJlle one
ounce of oil of turpentine and half an
ounce each of chloroform and alcohol.
Shake well and rub grease spots or
other stains with the mixture. When
clean rinse in pure water and press
with an iron.
To clean fine lace spread it on a
clean cloth sewn to a board. arrange
the lace carefully with every point as
it should be, lacking it to the cloth,
and then go over the lace carefully
with clean linen rag dipped in hot
borax water. When the spots and
soil are removed go over the lace again
with clean water to which has been
added a little thin starch. Put it in
the sun to dry on the board and when
dry undo the lace, fold it in blue paper
and lay it away in box or drawer till
required for use.
10 prevent water pipes located in
conduits near the surface from freez-
ing cover them with sawdust and a lay
er of short straw. tanning bark or
similar material and lay on top of this
pieces of burnt lime varying in size
from that of hickory nut to that of
a fist, which in turn cover with a layer
of short straw. Then fill the ditch up.
The lime will very gradually attract
moisture and the evolved heat will suf-
flee to protect the pipes from freezing
during the entire winter. If pipes are
already frozen they may be thawed out
by covering them and then pouring on
water.
A safe light for going about with
where there are infiammable mate
rails, as into a storeroom, may be
made as follows: Take long bottle
of pale glass and put into it piece
of phosphorus the size of pea; upon
this pour olive oil heated to the boil
ing point until the bottle is about one
third full and cork tightly. When light
is needed take the cork out and allow
the air to enter, subsequently recork.
ing. The empty space in the bottle
will then become luminous and give
quite an effective light. If it becomes
dim it can easily be revived by I'M
corking the bottle for Il few seconds
One bottle will last a whole winter
Small bottles may also be prepared in
this way and carried in the pocket.

A comprehensive report on the
clay industries of Maryland has
been prepared by the Maryland
Geological Survey and is ready for
issue. Heinrich Ries, the leading
expert on clays in the United States
wrote the report rs the result of
! Is months of work in the field, the
labratory, and the Office, in coopera-
tion with geolegists of the State
Survey. In 500 large octave pages
it gives a comprehensive sketch
of the general clay industry in all
its scientific and industrial aspects,
and furnishes a full account of the
industry in Maryland and the
developments which are possible
here. Maryland possesses an
abundance of valuable clays and
shales which are little known.
The present publication aims to
bring them to public attention in a
form which will attract the imme-
diate notice of all who are interest,
ell in the industries depending
upon them. We already rank
eleventh among the ''clay states"
and seventh among the products of
pottery. The total value of Mary
lands annual output of clay in
bricks, terra Gotta, pottery, and
porcelain is $1,711 $50.
The first half of the new report
is a systematic review of infOrma-
tion concerning clay, of "A sort not
easily to be obtained elswhere.
The section which treats of Mary
land clays commences with a gener-
al description of the geology of the
deposits. This is amplitied by
geological maps showing the sever
al great clay regions, the Cecil area,
Mt. Savage area, deposits bordering
the upper western shore of the
Chesapeake, the Potomac deposits,
up to Baltimore, aud the formations
in southern Maryland. The resi-
dual clays of Washington, Freder
ick, Carroll, Montgomery, Hartford,
Howard, and Baltimore counties
are all fully treated in the same
way.
