ELEVATOR GIRLS IN BOSTON.
Their Pretty Caps, Aprons and Buck
les Please the Shopping Public
of the Hub.

Boston's latest and smartest girl
is the elevator girl. She suddenly has
made her appearance in the fashion
able downtown stores, luncheon
rooms for women, dressmaking es-
adjustments, the Young Women's
Christian association and the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union.
1t all came about because the ele-

Looking around for some one to take
his place, one of the managers sug-
gested employing girl, and it was
done at once. The new girl was
young and pretty and wore neat
cap, apron and shoes with shining
buckles. The patrons of the Union
lunchroom were pleased.
A week later girl appeared in the
mirror-lined elevator of the Young
Women's Christian association. The
idea became a fad and more girls

MAN CHASED BY WILDCATS.
Pennsylym MIA Farmers Life Is Saved
By the Prompt Action of His
Brave Dog.

Charles Mason, farmer living near
Confluence, Pa, had a narrow escape
last week from being killed by wild
cats. These animals have always been
found in the mountain woods in that
region, but for great number of
years they have not been SO numerous
as they are this fall.
Mason went, early in the evening, to
the house of friend about three
miles from his home, and returned
through the woods late at night. For
tunately for him, he was accompanied
by his dog.
band of wildcats followed him
and threatened several times to spring
upon him. Whenever one of the ami
mails rushed toward Mason, the dog
bravely made at it. The cats were
afraid of the dog, but they became SO
numerous and bold that Mason only
saved himself by taking refuge at a
mountain dwelling half way home,
and there passed the night. He be-
lieves that at least dozen of the wild
cats were after him.
The cats are so plentiful that they
have driven squirrels and other game
from the woods. A party of hunters
is being formed to go into the noun
tains and spend a couple of days in
search Of the animals.

GET CALIFORNIA FRUIT,
Farmers in England Are Unable to
Compete with the Fruit Rmlsers
in America.

The ingenuity and determination
with which California is pushing its
fruit in the English market is COM
handing much attention. The shops
at London are full of excellent fresh
figs, plums and grapes at low prices,
and during October California success
fully flooded this market with thou
sands of tons of choice black plums,
while the farmers of Kent left their
plums TO rot on the trees and ground,
alleging that it was not worth while
to pluck them. The success of the
CALIFORNIA; is attributed 10 their
unique skill in packing, whereby the
fruit travels here intact. The Gar
deners' Magazine says California
shipments of plums in October aggre-
gated 5000 tons over the previous rec
ord.

BLUE LIGHT AIDS SURGEONS,
Colored Rays of Electric Globes
Found of Great Value In Their
Operations.

A st. Petersburg ply stefan has ex-
perimented with blue electric light,
which showed noticeable results in
many phases of diseases and surpassed
the efficacy of the white electric light
usually employed heretofore.
The journal, Prof. Mendelsohn's
Care OF Patients, of Berlin, states that
it is possible through the use Of blue
electric light to make operations pain
less without resorting to other anaes-
theticS. Burns of the skin, and espe-
cially OF the mucous membrane, are
said to have not only been rendered
painless but healed also more rapidly.
The value of this treatment becomes
important from the fact that it cnn
easily be employed where it is difficult
to use other therapeutic remedies on
account of location, as in the throat
or deeper down in the alimentary ca
nal.
1t is Also to be noted that the use Of
the blue electric light contributes
much in lessening the pains caused by
cancerous growth in marked degree,
and is said rapidly to effect complete
cure of lupus, this very severe disease
of the skin which frequently resists
every other method of treatment.

DR.. Henry Watson, well-known
authority on music and himself a
cultured musician, while lecturing
recently at Manchester, England, on
the violin, incidentally had a short
piece played on two violins, one a
Stradivarius, worth $4,000, and the
other one of a lot worth half a
crown apiece, used in a variety turn
on the stage to break a comedians
head. Then he asked the audience
which instrument they regarded as

A MYSTERY SOLVED,
Discovery of Washed Stamps I'm New
Jersey Mny Explain Request for
100000 Cancelled stamps.

For many years the United States
postal authorities and others have
heard rumors that somebody was
willing to pay a fabulous amount for
100000 Cancelled postage stamps.
The somebody has never been detin-
itely named, but it has been vaguely
stated that the proceeds of the
stamps would be devoted to charity
and that some wealthy individual
would pay the premium.
Perhaps an episode in Newark may
shed a little light upon the matter
Postal Inspector j. l.. Cortelyou, a
brother of President Roosevelt's sec
rotary, and United States Marshal
John Garside, of Newark, have ar
rested in that city Henry Boisseaue.
a Frenchman, 70 years old, who is
an inmate of the home of the Little
Sisters of the Poor. Boisseaue is a
veteran of three wars. He sent
washed Stamps in exchange for ar
ticles he desired to get. The old man
was arrested and his room in the
nome WAS NlSltCd. az ltuSl NoU,UUU
stamps were found soaking in a
washtub.
The mother superior of the institu-
ton said Boisseaue had nothing to do
with the collection of these stamps,
but that he and other aged inmates
were employed to soak them from
the envelopes, dry them and arrange
them for shipment to China, where
they brought good price and were
highly esteemed for wall decorations
The sisters said the stamps had a
high value in the eyes of the Chi
nese. and that Christian workers ex-
changed them for children, who were
adopted and brought up to the Chris
tian faith by the missionaries.

FENCE TO KEEP IN RAIN,
High Would Acd az DO Noun
tain Mnsses.

1t Is a matter of common knowledge
that in billy situations the rainfall IL
much above the average, and that u
town may be so situated with regard to
heighboring elevations that it will re-
ceWe two or three times the amount
OF rain in year that falls on place
only few miles distant, says Cham
bers journal.
case is quoted in one of Prof. Tyn-
dalPs lectures, where the rainfall Of
one Irish town amounts to 50 inches,
and of another to only 81 inches, the
difference being due to the action OF
the Kerry mountains in forcing the
moist winds up suddenly to higher
level, where they meet with the cold
necessary to precipitate their moisture
as rain.
Rollo Russell has suggested that we
might control the rainfall artificially
by the erection Of immense walls, ex-
tending for some six or seven miles in
length, and from 300 to 400 feet high.
Such walls would act as natural hills
in diverting the path Of the moisture
laden air, and the clouds would be
forced to yield their treasures.

GREEN THE COLOR OF HOPE.
OF All COIors the Most Restful, and
Il Always Right In
Nature.

There is always a mystery about
green. 1t is Ireland's color, it is the
fairies color, it is supposed to be UNI
lucky to some particular families.
and is regarded with suspicion by
others. 1t is the color said to indi-
cate an artistic spirit; it is decadent
and modern, and it is extremely un-
becoming to the sallow, says the Lon
don Graphic.
And yet, of all colors, it Is the most
restful, and. in the correct tints, the
most ladylike for dress. The green
bedroom overlooking the orchard is
the one that lends itself to pleasant
thoughts and agreeable dreams, that
tempts to good humor and repose.
My lady's boudoir, all hung with
green, reminds one of a rustic bow.
er, the garden room, opening on to
the greensward and the roses, is the
contest room in the house.
Green is always right in nature; it
is only we poor humans who make a
mess OF it when we try to use it for
the adornment of our bodies. The
dark, the muddy complexioned, the
heavy featured should avoid it like
poison; but apple green, willow
green, moonlight green-what mar
velous effects cannot be made out OF
them in cunning hands!
Green is the color of hope, OF youth,
of spring, Of love. The woman who
can wear green-her own peculiar
shade of GREEN'S fortunate.
