II is a good deal easier to make
? woman think you love her than to
make her understand that you don't.
II takes a woman to kiss a child
and look in a mans eyes as she is
doing it as if she were kissing him.
No woman ever loved a man enough
not to pretend to somebody that she
was not so sure about it as she would
like to be.
Some men have such a way with
them that when they borrow your
money they make you think that they
are doing you favor.
Women are so naturally deceitful
that they can fool themselves into
thinking they have good figures when
they are like a sack Of -four.
There is no age at which a woman
ceases to see herself beautiful unless
she becomes blind.
A woman's idea Of a mans being
good to her is when he agrees with
her when she knows she is wrong

COLOR CURE FOR
NERVOUS DISEASES.

The color cure is the latest thing in
treatment of insanity. At the Ward S
Island insane department, in New
York an entire ward is set aside for
experiment under the supervision of
Dr.: Monette. Here rooms are devot-
ed to the treatment of various forms
and phases of insanity Thus, in a
room all red, with red shades, red pa
per on the wall red bed coverings, red
carpet and red furniture. the melan-
choly patient is placed. Everybody
knows the cheering effect of red.
Other phases Of mental disorder are
treated in pink. purple. violet, green
and white rooms, the latter being for
the use of the eonvaleseents and mild
ly daft The theory is that the mono
tone sets into action vibrations which
act beneficially upon the patient Wo-
men, because OF their gentler suscep-
tibilities, are peculiarly benefited by
the new treatment.

1t must be remembered. however,
that there is to be a distance OF 100
Yards between the boxes and as there
is to be a similar distance between the
posts supporting the wires. it follows
that no two posts will ever be called
uIon to support more than one box
between them at one time.
Signor Piscicelli says that his in
vention will do all this. but he points
cut that it will not be necessary to
dispatch four thousand boxes filled
with mail matter every hour. and

would be best to dispatch from eighty
to hundred boxes an hour, and to

A German postal official who has
looked closely into the matter is of
the same opinion.
Indeed, he doubts if any wire rail
road that could be constructed would
be able to bear the weight of 900 of
these boxes, assuming that the dis
tance between each was not more
than 100 yards.
It is estimated that the Piseicelli

NSienor Piscieli, a scientist, o1
6me, has invented q mechanism fol
arriving letters and parcels which is
W novel and promises such good re-
Srlts that the Italian government is
thinking seriously Of using ii through
Hut the country in place Of the present
nail service One reason why it pre-
&ers Signor PiseieIli's method is be
2n&use, according to the inventor, by it
Waters and parcels can be transmit
8fed from one place to another at a
&X&eed if desired, of $50 miles an hour
34&A another reason is because the
X&ost of transmission would be much
Hess than it is at present
In Germany and France little is as
Nyet known Of the new invention, but
the few experts who have examined it
spraise it highly and say that it pos
ssesses many advantages over the pres
8ent method of carrying letters.
Signor Piscicelli's scheme is to
have wires strung at height of forty
I five feet above the ground, and to
have as vehicles boxes. which are to
contain mail and which are to be rolled
along the wires to any distance that
may be necessary.
The boxes are to be on rollers, which
will fit closely to the wires. and the
posts supporting the wires are to be
900 feet apart from each other.
Moreover, the boxes are to be made
of aluminium and, when filled with
letters and packages. they must not
weigh more than seventy pounds each
Furthermore, to each post is to be
attached a double wire so that the
boxes may never be impeded, but can
run in both directions at the same
time
AS the wires are SO high above the
ground no thief will be able to snatch
one of them unless he climbs one of
the posts, and if he ventures to do
this Signor Piscicelli will see that he
will receive an electric shock which
will surprise MIN.
It Is extremely doubtful, however,
If this will ever be necessary, and
for the simple reason that the boxes
will generally be going very fast, and
it will not be easy for a thief to dis
lodge one unless he has a gun.
The exact manner in which these
boxes are to be propelled has not yet
been divulged, but it is supposed that
they will be provided with electric
motors.
In any ease, the inventor claims that
they can run at the rate of 2oO miles
an hour, and that, if desired, 1000 ear
heastarted on their journey every six
4 iyS1ainutes. a distance of 100 yards

Although the scarcity of quail in the prai-

''The intense heat OF last summer may

Any young quail reared in such places prob
