The first woman in the world to own

Mrs. Isaac T.. Emerson, of Baltimore.
Mrs. Emerson, unlike her husband. alb

Emerson proposed the touring car.
Since Christmas Mrs. Emerson, with
an expert railway officer has been stu
dying car construction, and now has
pretty clear idea of what she wishes
for the comfort of herself and guests
during the long tours projected.
The car will be one of the largest
ever turned out by the Pullman Com
pany. Mahogany will be the basis OF
the interior woodwork, but the richest
silk draperies and the softest and
thickest of carpets will almost conceal

will be built. There will be at least
four state rooms, n parlor library, q
dining room and a kitchen.
The car will be furnished rs a per-
manent migratory house, with its own
silver. cut glass, linen and upholstery.
1t will be in commission at all times.
so that 1t can be started at any hour of
the day or night that Mrs. Emerson
elects.
Mrs. Emerson said that she contem-
plated n number of travelling house
parties" as soon as the luxurious vehl-
Gle was completed. and that she and
her friends "would see every foot of
this country as well rs Canada and
Mexico"
The car will be named the Emily,

liquor, remove the bones, fat, skin and
gristle, then cut the meat into very
small pieces-it is better not to chop it.

be made as fine as possible on plate.
Boil the water down to one pint. Have

Canandian military authorities are
discussing the advisabllity of organic.
ing a force for defense on lines similar
to those Of the Transvaal commandos.
The plan proposed is that every coun-
try district should have commando"
identified as far as possible with the
municipal organization of the counties
and townships. Each county and
town and township would be ex-
pected to enroll and parade at least
one day in each year its quota Of men
under their own leaders, who should
be, as far as possible, the leading men
of their respective districts. The men
would be furnished each with rifle
and bandolier, but be expected to fur
nish their own horses and saddles.
Each farm. according to acreage,
would be expected to furnish one or
more horsemen at each muster or for
felt a small sum. BY such a plan the
Dominion could easily raise an effec-
tive force Of 100000 as a reserve for
the militia.

No Law on Island.

There Is an island down in Penob-
scot bay, few miles from Penob-
scot, that Is In one respect one OF the
most peculiar islands on the surface
OF the globe, says correspondent OF
the Pittsburg Gazette. II is known on
the charts as Rugged Island, but sentf-
mental summer residents have named
Il Crie Haven in honor of old John
Crie, bearded Scotchman, who set
tied here among the rocks more than
half century ago. The island Is un-
der no form of government and
though 1t is part of the state of Maine.
the people pay no taxes and have no
officers of any kind. There Is not a
rat or mouse In all of its mile and n
half Of rocky length and its half mile
of ledgy width. There are no bugs In
the beds, no reaches In the pantries.
no cats or dogs behind the stoves. and
no mosquitoes in the pools of fresh
water. The island has no church In
which to worship and no minister to
tell the people whether they are doing
right or wrong. No lawyer ever re-
sided here and no sheriff or constable
ever came to issue summons or to
serve processes. A kind old doctor
WIN lives III NOChldnu Tic Ouiy
physician who makes professional
visits to the place, and he is told when
to come by carrier pigeons. AS soon
as the doctor receives the call he lib
crates a pigeon from his loft, which
bears a message telling when he Is
coming. The regular Inhabitants OF
the island now number AZ. but in the
summer there are often as many as 100
persons living on the island. There
are eight cows and three horses there.
but not a mile of road for them to
travel In. The horses are used for
hauling up boats. Everybody walks
by we'll worm foot paths, which are
originally laid out by cows while seek
ing feed among the huge boulders.
The only occupation Of the residents
is catching Holsters in pots covered
by nets. Every person tries to cap
ture enough every day to bring $3.
which is easily done when Holsters ara
sold to the steamers for Is cents o
pound.

lawyer recently. Only this morning

automatic machine he had worked over

Even Shoulders,

Stand before looking glass and no.
tice whether your right shoulder is
higher than your left. 1t likely Is. You
will observe II Is so both In men and
women and the reason for this uneven
ness lies in the way one sits. You get
into a comfortable chair or the chair
before your desk and you Immediately
rest your right elbow either on the arm
of your chair or on your desk. thus
throwing one shoulder higher than the
other. Especially is this the case when
one writes a great deal. Few persons
(observe them) when writing keep the
shoulders erect.
Women who use the typewriter are
seldom afflicted with uneven shoulders
IL the chairs they use are sufficiently
high and they sit on them properly
and properly means erect with shoul-
ders thrown back-their work encour-
ages even shoulders, since they have
no occasion to bend over, and there is
equal pressure on both sides of the
body.
fected the best thing to do is to change
your way of sitting at the desk. Two
simple exercises will help you out. The
arm of the lower shoulder should be
extended upward. the hand grasping a
dumb-bell; that of the higher shoulder
should be lowered and be made to sun.

shown In blue mercerized cheviot with
large pearl buttons, but Is adapted to

Is optional but is to be commended for
all waists of the non-washable sort.
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing, the full fronts and plain back.
The fronts are gathered at the neck
edge and again at the waist line and
blouse slightly over the belt. but the
back Is arranged in gathers at the
waist only and is drawn down snugly.
The sleeves are in shirt style. with
straight narrow cuffs, but are full at
the lower portions, in conformity with

FAME.

There once did live a wondrous man;
So general was his fame
To cheer, the world straightway began
At mention Of his name.
And straightway literary folk
Began, in accents sweet,
To tell what was his favorite joke
And what he liked to eat.
They told of golf and other Joys
By which his leisure sped,
And of his little girls aud boys
And what bright things they said.
About his ancestry they told
And all its doings proud;
And whether, when he'd taken cold,
He ever sneezed aloud.
OF things like these we read lot
And the result muS shame us;
We read until we quite forgot
What really made him famous.
