NEW LAMP FOR MINERS.

One of the most practical inventions

to work in coal mines where gas was
liable to be found without danger OF

Que objection to such lamp Is that
the gas might increase In volume in

MAN SLAVE OF FASHION.
His HOt-Wentiner Clothes Invite tho
ScOrn and COntumely Of
Woman.

John, you are sight," said the COM
muter's wife as she met him on the fer.
ryboat on their way to the New Jersey
home, according to the New York Trib-
une. I'm almost ashamed to ride home
in the same car with YOU
He had come directly from the office
but he had come in hurry The four
O'Clock sun was at little less than noon
day heat. His high collar had melted
and settled in flabby wrinkles about his
neck. The starch in his shirt had for
gotten its stiffness. He was sight.
She had been shopping hard all day
lodging from store to store in the shad-
ows. Someway she had managed to
keep unwilted and as fresh as she had
been when they came cityward in the
morning. She was dressed with much
sense in white duck skirt, a silky shirt
waist with open work where modesty
did not forbid Her wide brimmed straw
hat was light, and set high above her
brown hair. She was most refreshing
picture
I'm hot, that's all" was the husband s
only defense.
Well, there is no need of your look
ing like a dripping dishrag." began the
wife. "If you would use little COM
mon sense in dressing yourself"
He recognized his own words of pro-
test repeated many times, protests
against her forcing herself into straight
fronts, against high heels, against scoop
hats, against SO many things that he
could not remember them all. He was
surprised and hurt
Now tell me-" she continued, SIS
there a grain of common sense in your
wearing a starched shirt a day like
this?"
ct looks more dressy," he interrupt
ed, lamely
Does it, thought" she cried, scorn-
fully. "Dressy, indeed! 1t looks more
like it needs a wringer. Would mon
key dress himself up in stiff collar
like yours? Would baboon don heavy
straw hat with the brim setting hard
on his head. It's the style, is it? Only
fools are slaves to style"
Again he recognized the quotation
from his oft-repeated remarks.
Look at your belt. now" she went
on, mercilessly THAT little, narrow
thing does not begin to cover the but
tons of your trousers. And think what
your clothes weigh-tWeeds or f1annels,

would you have me dress in ducks?'
he demanded, as the ferry bumped into
the slip.
'I'll have you ride In the smoking-car,"
she cried, with the other fools in pants
And the next time you talk to me about
the foolishness of dressing, I'll"
But he did not wait to hear what
would happen. He went to the smoking
car, and buying magazine read all
about how the ignorant and benighted
heather of eastern lands dress them
selves comfortably and hygienically for
hot weather.

Perfumes from Flowers,

A common method of extracting per-
fumes from flowers is enf1eurage, which
consists in placing the blossoms in con-
tact with purified lard for few days.
When saturated with the perfume, the
lard itself may be used. or the essential
oil may be extracted under strong alco-
hol. The process being tedious, many
attempts unsatisfactory-hav
been made to obtain the essential oil d.
rect from the flowers by means of light
etroleum. A curious recent discovery
is that perfume-making still goes on in
the flowers during enfieurage, and DR..
Albert Hesse reports that ton of tube
rose blossoms only yielded &C grams
of oil by petroleum extraction, but gave
up sol grams to the embedding fat In
enfleurage and yielded 70 grams more
when the faded blossoms were distilled.
The flowers appear to have contained
more perfume after exhaustion by en-
feurage than when first gathered.

THE WINE SAMPLERS lob.
Not Such an Enviable OccupntiOn as
Some Lovers of Grape Juice
Imagine.

There's only one job at the ST. Louis
exposition that l would like to get
said a well-known man about town at
his club, relates the Albany Journal,
and that is wine sampler"
You would soon get sick of your
job" replied fellow clubman There
will be between 10000 and 10000 sam
pies in the wine exhibit, and if you
would be allowed to taste it in the ordi-
nary way your finish would be rapid.
Il have heard the business de-
scribed, and as matter of fact it is not
customary in this operation to permit
the wine tester to sip from each bottle
and pronounce his judgment until his
mind begins to wander and his tongue
thicken. He does not swallow the wine
at all. 1t is tasted, but never swallowed
After five or six samples have been ex-
amined the jurors will rest few min
ates, then eat a bit of cheese and a bis
cult, after which they rinse their
mouths with mineral water and pro-
coed as before. This is kept up from
nine in the morning until noon. Per-
sons who can thus refrain from real in
diligence in the wine cup presented in
this tantalizing manner are examples
of abstinence which ought to inspire
admiration for the race.
1T is not every one who can thus
tread near the danger and step back
from the brink. With a mans nose in
the cup that inebriates he is generally
a goner. 1t is as good as settled when
he gets so far as to lay his hand upon
the wicker door. The exhilarating eff
feet of suffering stream of some so or
100 different kinds of wine to pass be-
tween ones lips even if refused admit
lance at the inner portal, must be con-
siderable; and layer of cheese, laye
of biscuit and layer of mineral water
continued for three hours, it would
seem, would be distressing ordeal.
After the bouquet of the cheese, what
becomes of the bouquet of the wine?
There are cheeses that make one quite
oblivious of every other thing set on
the table before one. l would have no
confidence at all in the judgment of a
jury after the sixteenth round Of
cheese"

RAILROAD ADVERTISING.
Has Done Much to Reveal the Beau
ties of Travel in
America,

When the passenger departments Of
the railroads began to advertise the
advantages of their respective lines
and the beauties and points of interest
along the right of way, the conserva-
tives stood aghast at the innovation.
says the Toledo Tones. 1t was freely
predicted that they would get tired Of
wasting their money or that their en-
ployers would call them down and re-
fuse to countenance such expenditures.
Yet how different has been the out
come. The pioneers in the business
have been followed by imitators and
competitors, until some of the most
attractive and interesting and instruc-
tive advertising of the day is done by
the railroads. 1t Is. of course. impos-
s1ble to know the full extent of the
influence of this advertising, but the
result has been to immensely stimulate
travel. We Americans are just learn
ing to appreciate leisure and to know
that one doesn't have to go a thousand
miles from home to get genuine rec
reation and an education that is
pleasure to acquire.
The theory that everything worth
seeing is in Europe has been exploded
and the railroads, with their persist
ent, artistic and we'll constructed adj
vertising have lighted the fuse that
led to the explosion. Everyone with a
spark of ambition desires to see sur
roundings different from his own He
wants to travel. But he breads going
into strange scenes and conditions.

STAGE PEOPLE IN SUMMER.

In summer what becomes of the num-
bers of stage people who return to. the
metropolis penniless at the close of the
season? How do they live? These ques-
lions were put to the manager of the
theatrical agency in Broadway, says the
New York Post. 'Indulgent lapdladies,
friends in the country, and parents in
the city solve the summer problem for
hosts of theatrical people," replied the
agent. AN actor would sooner starve
than be seen by his mates working at
any other trade. About IS per cent

THE NERVOUS TEMPERAMENT.
In Childhood 1t In Something Requir
ing Careful Consideration
from Parents.

A child born with a nervous consti.
tuition is to be pitied or envied ac-
cording as he has parents who do OF
acter is made or marred, even more
than we are wont to believe, by the
training which the child receives, and
the future Of no child is more abso-
lutely in the keeping of it's father and
mother than is that of the nervous
child. By injudicious treatment such
a child may be made to grow up q
physical and moral wreck, at odds
with all the world, while under wise
management it may develop into one
of the highest types of lovable man o,
woman-gentle, affectionate, sensi-
tive, intellectual and dependable, says
Youths Companion.
The nervous child is often difficult
to manage, especially if the mother is
impatient with it's dependency or its
irritability. Seedlings only increase
the tension of it's nervous system and
more severe punishment, which the
phlegmatic child takes with scarce a
whimper and to it's betterment. is
often cruel in the extreme.
There are two types of nervous chill
dren-the active child, always on the
go. inquisitive and acquisitive, but
delicate as the mimosa leaf, shrinking
back into itself at the first repulse OF
harsh word; and the pale, quiet, SEN
sitive child, intelligent and thoughtful
but retiring. The child of the first
type develops into the inventor, the
active philanthropist, the promoter,
the schemer, the adventurer, or the
leader of criminals, according as his
training has been wise or foolish. The
child of the second type becomes the
philosopher, the thinker, the man of
letters, the poet, or the misanthrope,
the sour recluse, and the plottel
enthusiastically and government
One great mistake in training a
nervous child is to try to strengthen
the nerves by opposition. A nervous
child must be guided. not driven: if
afraid of the dark it must not be
forced to sleep in a closed room with
out glimmer of light. 1t should not
be laughed at for it's patural timidity,
but should be gently convinced by ar
gument OF the groundlessness of its
fears. At the same time it's physical
constitution should receive careful at
tention TONES. good, digestible food,
an open-air life, avoidance of long
hours of study, frequent changes of
air ard scene are all not only service
able, but, one might say, indispensable
in the transformation of the child of
nervous disposition into the we'll
poised man or woman.

SECURITY IN OCEAN TRAVEL
The Death Rate of Sailors Has De.
creased One-Half In the
Last Decade.

Within ten years, thanks to better
ships and better navigation. the death
rate OF sailors has decreased one-half,
and is now only Ii per 200, or 40 or so
per cent below the rate for all inhabi-
tants of such cities as Boston, New York
or Chicago, says the National Magazine,
though, OF course such comparison
must not be pursued to its last analysis
of why or wherefore, but taken Tor what
it is worth as sufficiently surprising
statement of an actual fact. Out of
10000 accidents reported to the Tray
elers' Insurance company, 2,41S oc-
Cured to pedestrians and 1880 to per-
sons who were comfortably at home
indoors. No fewer than 1876 accidents
were due to riding or driving, $50 to
various sports, 406 to bicycling, and ATT
to railway travel, while only 70 of these
10000 accidents occurred upon the
ocean. Making all due allowance for the
obvious fact that there are always many
more persons walking, or indoors, OF
engaged in pastimes, or railway jour.
neying than there are at sea, these fig.
ures are still significant.
One great steamship company, with
40 vessels, lost only one seaman in a
year, and it was recorded of the cele-
brated Inman line some years ago that
it had conveyed, without one death, a
million passengers. In the year 1890 the
transatlantic liners made nearly 1000
voyages from New York to the various
ports of the united kingdom and the
continent, carrying 100000 cabin and
$4,000 steerage passengers across 5000
miles of boisterous ocean. And yet in
this entire year there was not one acct
dent costing the life Of a single one of
these more than half million people.
