CARNEY GETS PATENT.
Photographer Has Invented an h.
 teresting Game.

John E. Carney, the popular night man. aser of the Western Union Telegraph Company's office in Montgomery. has in- vented an interesting game which is soon to be placed on the market by a manu- facturer.
 The game, which has not yet been named. is played upon board similar to the Parchesi Board, but 1t is quite orig inal, and has few features in common with the older form of amusement.
 The new game may be played by two, three or four persons. who are provided with "men." each of which bears a letter of the alphabet The men are advanced in accordance with numbers indicated by thrown dice. the game thus having a likeness to Parchesi; and the letters are used to form words, somewhat after the manner of Logomache; but there are many other features introduced which are quite novel.
 Mr' Carney has played the game with members of his family and says that 1t is success and affords much amuse- nent Experts in the Patent Office in Washinpton have informed him that his invention is not only the most intricat te hut the most interesting game yet intro duoAd end 1t is expected that it will be a s,reater seller when it is published

The Inevitable Result.

Result: When old age and poverty came upon him he had not friend save one or two clever people he happened to have on hand at the time. and you may be sure they didn't do anything for him. You can hardly blame them, either, for they knew they were loved only so long as they piped and danced for their en- tertainer. and when he had not the means to repay their efforts why should they continue to stay by him. especially when they knew how he would have treated them as soon as their intellectual mer- chandise began to pail upon him? So he lived out his days alone and neglected, and it served him right.
 It's a pity some of us won't remember that. It isn't the woman who makes the best epigrams who is the best friend. and clever people as a rule are enter taining. but not sympathetic. It is of tener than not the poor, despised slow girl'' who will wipe away your tears and do practical things for you when you need them.

tell a man that any evening will do when he asks you when to call. Any evening will not do, for two reasons. He will think you have very few men who take you to the theatre. etc., or. worse still. very little social life. Even if 1t is true that you spend all the seven nights hanging out of your front window gazing at the moon or making flannel petticoats for the heathep-or yourself-don't admit it for the sake of the young mans re- cutting attitude.
 The other reason Is equally common sense. I don't suppose you wish to have to dress up every night and then on the last night, when you have given him up and are correspondingly comfortable, behold the gentleman walks in? Well, that happens to lots of girls through sheer bad management Management is the great thing The girl who has seven admirers on one evening and then an in terregnum of four or five dreary, lonely evenings before the performance is re- peated has only herself to blame-also the girl who allows her tete-a-tete to De interrupted by chance callers.
 This is the time of the year when the clever girl makes for herself dainty little dress accessories in the shape of sashes. embroidered collars and fichu berthas to go on evening gowns. These things all take time and they are of such nature that they can easily be worked on the piazza while chatting with one's friends.
 The cut shows two of these, one a round bertha composed of medallions of lace inset in turn with a small figure of Persian silk, the central figure of which is embroidered in outline stitch. The sash which Is also shown is of wide lus- trous silk ribbon. The ends are appliqued with bold figures of Arabian lace, which are jeweled with small round paillettes of the shade of the ribbon.

THE WIRE AGE

We sometimes think that the present
might properly be called the wire age.
Present progress would be impossible
without Wire. 1t carries our MESA ges
over land and under the sea. permits
us to talk one with the other, though
a thousand miles apart, sezes the wa
terfall in the almost inaccessible noun
tain canyon and transmits its power a
hundred miles or more to centers Of
civilization. \ wire makes possible the
vast interurban traffic of the country,
the lighting Of our municipalities and
homes, the distribution of power in all
places, whether far up or down deep in
the earth; it transmits the news of the
world, regulates the markets, forms
the fencing Of the nation, serves as
burglar alarm, clothesline, ships rig
ging and bed springs and in almost
numberless ways indispensably minis
tiers to the comfort and prosperity of
man. 1t is the wire age sure enough.
