Brake For Electric Motors.

Mr. Arthur Hultqvist, assistant engi-
neer in the workshops of the electrical
street railways of Gothenhurg, has re-
Gently constructed brake for electric
motors which consists of a small auto
matte reversing switch (omkopplare),
which is fastened near the motor. On
every machine is pendant handle
bearing the words emergency brake"
in red letters. If workman should
happen to be caught in the machinery
or any other accident should occur, the
machinery can be quickly stopped by
pulling the handle, which sets the
brake in action. 1t is claimed that the
machine can be stopped in this way
within one-half or one-fourth rotation.
1t is expected that this brake will be
found very useful in every establish
ment where electric motors are in use.

MASSIVE BRACELETS WORN.

Blacelets shaped like finger rings,
wide and massive on the back and mar
rowing down to slender dimensions
under the middle wrist, as ring mar
rows, have come in with the other
middle century fancies. In the heavy
antique gold chasings and medallion
shaped settings these close-fitting
bracelets remind one Of the old-fash-
Toned, broad-beamed bracelets that are
heirlooms now in many households.
Some of the new bracelets in this
shape have lozenge-shaped medallions
enriched with finely cut canoes, rare
chasings and variously tinted enamel
ing. Others have handsomely cut
pieces OF coral mounted in antique sill
yer, and some are distinguished with
precious stones set in deep, like the
gems riveted in the broad anklets of a
Turkish princess.
They are rather quaint and massive
looking than pretty, but possess the
double enhancement of making n slen.

New fabrics are drifting in all the
time. One of the latest arrivals is a
metal printed challie.
The universal use of small flowers
is one of the most noticeable style fea-
lures of the millinery world.
Trimmings rest entirely upon the up
per or under brim, and the latter have
decided tendency to roll upward.
Irish poplin is one of the new ar
rivals. Strapped with a satiny broad
cloth Of the same color. it builds smart
frocks.
A wreath of small pine cones and
needles was the novel yet exclusive
trimming on a new and very smart

Cart-wheel rosettes are another dec

hats, but they are not a graceful

Figured grenadines made up over
shot silks are lovely. These figured
grenadines are essentially dainty and
Pompons of very small flowers are
one of the new trimming ideas this

Demi-season hats Of tulle or chiffon
are in high favor for present wear.
They have little or no trimming, de-
pending entirely upon their shape and
draping for their effect.
For utility wear, rough straw braids
and those of loosely woven soft NATE
rails are best form, and wings, quills,
velvet ribbon and soft silk 'scarfs are
much used in their decoration.
A new silk gauze goes by the ex-

What One Clever Woman is Doing.

There seems to be no limit in these
modern days to what woman may do.
In South Boston there is woman who
owns and controls chain of nine
weekly papers supplying smaller New
England cities with leisure reading.
Five years ago this woman had never
seen the inside of a newspaper Office.
At that time she invested in five pa
pers at the advice of a young man
who had supreme confidence in him.
self as an all-round newspaper man
and controller of a syndicate. The re-
suit not justifying his confidence. col
lapse seemed imminent. when this re-
sourceful woman herself stepped to the
fore. The peculiar feature of her man.
agement is that she employs only girls
on these papers. Man never appears
in connection with them, save as sub
scriber or advertiser. Her workers
are often as young as seventeen, and
she never engages any one over twenty
one, her idea being to secure optimis-
tic, fresh and CHEEKY views of life in
her sheets and to avoid the work of
women with ''set Ways which might
be difficult to unlearn. These girl
graduates" as most of them are, are
sent forth in search of news, and rap
idly learn to become newspaper women.
The proprietor herself writes and signs
all editorials. Her papers are not dis
tinctively papers for women-that is,
they do not conflne themselves ex-
clusively to women's news-but they
have the interests of women more
particularly in view.

If women's brains were as strong as
their hearts, the combination would
conquer heaven.
Extreme amiability in women is
either stupidity or a social or matrl-
monial axe to grind.
Women are a study-mcn are an
understudy.
The divination of the heavens is 4,
3, G compared to the divination OF
women.
The head women attract US. The
heart women fasten us.
AS an individual, woman is divine.
AS sex, she is bore.
When a man is divorced, the women
"poor thing" him and put on an extra
smile. When woman is divorced, the
men all wink and wonder what there is
in It!
Wasn't it a foxy design of some ones
that made Widows weeds so becom-
ing?
If women were judges of men, there
would be no marriages. If men were
judges of women-but that is an in
conceivable proposition!
A man is born generous, just, for
giving. A woman has to have every
one Of these virtues pounded into her
with sledge hammer.
Men take themselves so seriously! II

turvy when he has the toothache.-

River Town.
Until about the beginning of the last
decade all the geography classes in our
schools We're taught, and correctly, that
the city of Vicksburg, Miss, made his1
toric during the Civil War, was situ-
ated on the bank OF the Mississippi
River. This statement, however, ceased
to be fact some ten or more years.
ago, when the Father of Wate:s, in)
one cf his erratic moods forced neW
channel for himself and left Vicksburg
perched ON high bluff, several miles
inland. The town, which had been one
of the most important steamboat ports
on the big stream, was thus suddenly
deprived of much of the traffic that
had caused it to prosper. Strangely
enough the misfortune was an echo of
the famous siege of Nicksburg. and
General U. s. Grant was primarily re-
sponsible for it. In order that the
Union gunboats might run past the
shore batteries unharmed Grant sought
to divert the waters of the Mississippi
away from the city by digging new
channel. The great river refused at
the time to takethe new course marked
out for it, but it eventually did SO.
more than thirty years after such ac-
ton could be Of any use to tie UnioL
Army.
Naturally the people of Vlcksbcrg did
not accept with good grace tie Missis-
sippi's belated performance, so damag-
ing to their material interests. They
clamored for restoration of the old
days when they dwelt near navigable
water and when stately floating pal
aces touched at their wharves and
trade flourished. They appealed to
Congress for aid, and the national law
makers made an appropriation for con-
structing a canal northward to the va
zoo River. This canal was recently
completed, and the water was let into
the channel deserted by the Missis-
sippi. The flow was abundant and
filed the space from bank to bank,
making Vicksburg once more n river
town. The event caused general re-
joicing in the city, which has already
begun to feel the good effects Of re-
newed traffic.-Leslie's Weekly. {

1t is not necessary to have the side of
the mouth and nose disfigured by lines
to such an alarming extent as We too
frequently see, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. There are twenty-eight mus
cles about the mouth which contract
and relax under control of the will, and
which pout and laugh, or frequently
droop with fretfulness.
1t is easy to see that the woman who
misuses these muscles and allows her
face to reflect every emotion, being in
deed, recklessly extravagant in the
expenditure of the emotions, must ex-
pect havoc to be worked with the
face.
1t is worse than useless to put cold
cream on n cold skin. 1t does not sink
in, but lies upon the flesh, doing no
good and making it oily. Indeed, to
this may be traced the greasy effect
which cold cream has upon many skins.
With the skin warm, put on the toilet
cream, and then use the brush, or even
the palm of the hand, for rubbing.
