WELL PAID FOR HER WORK.
AddressinE Invitations Gives . New
York Woman n Handsome
Income.

A New York woman of considerable
social prominence, but limited means,
succeeds in maintaining her position
by novel industry that does not, in
the opinion of "the set" place her out
side the pale of responsibility. She
addresses invitations and attends to
correspondence as a means OF adding
to her income. She has the entree to
most of the wellknown houses in the
city. Many of her patrons consider it
an unusual favor to have their invita-
tons go out to the world addressed
in her unmistakabfe chirography.
Some OF them are never able to be in
vited to the houses that she goes to,
says New York exchange.
She realizes how much some Of her
patrons appreciate her services and
her prices are high-much higher than
any other PERSONS charge for the same
service. She makes very good living
out of this rather arduous work and
her time is much occupied.
1t is familiar saying that persons
who are most occupied by social duties
are most punctilious in discharging
them promptly. This shows itself
strikingly in a custom that developed
first this season.
It Is now considered the smartest
usage by persons who devote thought
to such matters to leave cards the day
after large or elaborate entertain
ment. 1t is not expected, OF course,
that the hostess will be seen. That is
now the least part of call But it is
good form to leave cards the day after.

THE ITALIAN IMMIGRANT.
He Is Indust rio and Thrifty, But
Does Not Become Fully
erlcRnized.

Italy is still sending over sea swarms
of her people who risk the hazards of
new fortunes in the United States, and
the steamships from the Mediter-
ranean brings hosts of steerage pas
sengers to Ellis island, says the New
York Tribune. The sturdy sons Of
Italy toll industriously in their new
homes, and almost every one of them
saves money in the new world. But
too many of them go back to their old
homes to live on their savings. Too
many persist in remaining Italian in
heart and soul, in habits and sym
pathies and ways Of living, and refuse
10 cast their lot in this hemisphere to
the end of their days and become thor
ough Americans.
The Italian element, both in North
America and South America, is numer-
Gus and important. Too large a part
Of 1t, however, is transitory. Immi-
grants from ireland, Germany, Swe-
den and all the scandinavian peoples
cross the Atlantic with the purpose Of
staying permanently in this half of
the globe. But the passion for the old
scenes and the old conditions appears
to be almost inextinguishable among
the descendants of the ancient Ro-
mans.

NOT UP ON CLASSICS.
A Telegraph Message That Was Ter

Operator.

A well-known literary woman went
over to Michigan to prepare her sum
mer cottage for occupancy during the
summer. Before going she made ar
rangements with her husband to have a
lot of household goods packed and for
warded by steamer, relates the Chicago
Tribune.
For some reason the shipment was
delayed, and she wrote inquiriDg the
cause Of the delay.
please wire me when the goods
have been shipped" she said in con-
clusiOn.
The husband went hard to work and
personally saw the books, hangings,
and other property packed for the trip.
Then he went down to the dock and saw
them safely on board the boat.
Coming back from the river he
stopped at telegraph Office and sent
the message as requested.
"Larcs and Penates on board boat"
he said. "Will arrive tomorrow morn
ing"
And this was the way the telegram
read when the boy brought 1t to the
waiting woman in the little Michigan
town:
Lard and peanuts on board boat.
VIII arrive tomorrow morning"

FREEZING LIVE FISH.
and Flsh Hesuscltat~d mt
End of journey.

A local company Of Tacoma, Wash,
proposes to freeze live salmon in
blocks Of ice, ship them to New York,
and then bring them to life. 1t Is
claimed experiments have demon
stratcd that freezing OF live fish in
this manner is possible, providing the
temperature of the fish is not far
below the freezing point and certain
conditions are met in resuscitation.
Further tests are TO be made this
summer on the Alaskan coast, and,
II successful, shipments Of fish in this
manner TO eastern cities will be com
menced next fall.
An expert who has been conducting
experiments in Oregon says that sal
mon can be frozen solid and thawcd
back to life ~ not exposed to the
sun or allowed to get more than IA
degrees below the freezing point. 1t
Is well known that Alaska rivers and
lakes which freeze solid from top to
bottom during winter are filled with
fish every summer. The fish they con
tain are frozen and remain in the ice
during the long winter. This fact
forms the basis Of experiment now
being conducted.

NEGRO NOT SOCIAL EQUAL.
hooker ~. Washington Declares That
His Race Does Not Seek Removal
Of Race Distinctions.

Booker r. Washington preached q
sermon against social equality In his
speech at the celebration OF the
Hampton Normal and Industrial In
stitute at Fort Monroe, Va. 1t was
the first time in all his long career
ms negro educator that he ever
made set speech on this line.
1.-The negro is seeking no social
equality" he declared. ''rhe negro
is as proud Of his own race as the
white man Is of his. I believe 1t Is
the duty Of the white people to try
to get insight into the domestic,
business, moral and religious life of
the negroes. and this they can do
without introducing the bugbear Of
social equality.
az believe the white people Of this
country have about begun to realize
that they can't get rid of the negro.
The negro is not going to COLOMBO,
he Is not going to Africa, he Is not
going to die out, and you can't bury
him. You have got him here, and the
best thing you can do for him is to
make him decent, self-reSpecting,
honest American citizen"

In order to make the most of their

in the shops, do lot of primping in

Powder rags, eyebrow pencils, rouge
brushes, are Haunted openly, and wo-
man does not hesitate to put some fin

she happens to be. These finishing
touches, by the way, seem to be needed
every hour or so.

NOSES AND EYEGLASSES.
Lack OF Adhesion When the Wearer
IL Troubled with Cold in
the Head.

When n man who wears glasses gets
a cold in his head he has a hard time.
That fact is apparent to anybody who
gets about town at a. time when grip is
prevalent and watches the antics of the
sufferer, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. 1t is not the watery condition
of the eyes that gives him trouble, it is
his nose Not one man In thousand
can keep his glasses on when he blows
his nose; consequently he who per-
forms that nasal Office frequently has
considerable difficulty.
The wise man in glasses never tries
to read when suffering with cold. He
gets no satisfaction out of the printed
page.
''Dreadful accident on the" he
reads, and then, before he can find out
where it was, his attention is forcbly
directed elsewhere, and it. is only in
snatches that he gets the details of the
disaster. A man who has had expert
ence with colds seldom even puts his
glasses on when so afflicted. He only
has to take them off every two or three
minutes, and until somebody invents
device warranted to prevent their
dislodgmcnt during nasal contortions
he prefers to go it blind.

HAS A NEW THEORY.
Prof. Babcock Announces an Orig
inal Idea Regarding Atoms.
nxpe ri m enfs At University OF Wis
consin Lead Him to Relieve
weight of Bodies II Relate
ed to Atomic Energy.

Prof. Stephen NJ. Babcock, OF the
chair Of agricultural chemistry and the
inventor of the Babcock milk test, an-
nounced before a meeting OF the Uni
versity Science club, at Madison, Wis,
as a result of 20 years OF research,
theory Of atomic energy that is revolu-
tionary In the scientific world. In
brief, 1t Is that the weight OF any sub
stance is effected by the molecular
change which 1t undergoes, or, as Prof.
Babcock stated the law, the weight OF
body is inversely proportional to its
inherent energy.
This, reduced to It's logical sequence,
practically overthrows the old atomic
theory and the theory Of conservation
OF matter, leading irresistibly to the
idea that all atoms are primarily iden-
teal and that the difference In the
weight Of the different elements is due
to the difference in their energy.
This theory, according to Prof. Bah
cock, would offer a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of the law Of gravitation, for
the generally accepted scientific ex-
PLANTATION of ether as matter endowed
with infinite energy and having no
weight or high potential, and OF the
heavenly bodies as low potention or
weight would account for the move
ment OF our solar system on the law
of physics, that bodies of high poten-
tial move toward bodies OF low poten-
tial.
Prof. Babcock was first led to under
take this investigation by noticing the
different results obtained in the atomic
weights of the same substances under
circumstances that were practically
similar.
His first strong evidence was gained
by weighing the same chemicals IN
Theoretically sealed test tubes before
and after chemical reaction had been
obtained. The difference in weights
obtained through long series OF ex-
periments, embracing Il total OF many
wears, could not be explained on any
existing scientific hypothesis.

A HOMESICK MILLIONAIRE.
Nowhere Is He So Lonely as In the
place He Once Loved That
Has Changed.

The late John w. Mackay might be
considered a supremely successful
man, for he was rich, and knew the
pleasure of generous giving to those
on whom the burdens of life fall heav-
lily. Yet by his own confession to
friend, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Press, the vanishing years not
only took with them many OF the old
familiar faces of his early struggling
youth, but they changed the west, as
he knew it, until it ceased to seem like
home.
"You see," Mr.. Mackay once ex-
planned, ga man is nowhere so lonely
as in place he once loved and returns
to only to find it altered beyond recog-
milton. That is the case with me; and
it is the reason I spend so much time
abroad.
