Natural Soap.

German papers report that steps are being taken in Algeria to manufacture natural soap on q lage scale from a tree known as "Sapindus utilis." This plant, which has long been known in Japan, China and India, bears a fruit of about the size of a horse chestnut, smooth and round. The color varies from yellowish green to brown. The inner part is of a dark color and has an oily kernel. The tree bears fruit in it's sixth year and yields from 55 to 22O pounds of fruit, which can easily be harvested in the fall. By using water of alcohol the sepona- ceous ingredient of the fruit is ex- tracted. The cost of production is said to be small and the soap, on account of possessing no alkaline qualities, is superior to the ordi' nary soap of commerce.

Pigeons as Smugglers.

A curious utilization of carrier pigeons was recently attempted in Belgium. This was making them carry contraband goods into France. For a short time "A pi- geons were let off regularly from the Belgian dovecot, each bur- dened with a small coil of tobacco. They arrived at their French des- tination rather exhausted, and doubtless glad to be relieved of their load. In one case, however, a pigeon, in making the flight, proved unequal to the effort, fell into the Seine and was picked up. The system was thus found out and suppressed.

POLITICAL POKER.

 State of Kansas.

Topeka is much agitated over revela- uons of draw poker in high places, and nothing could better show than this up roar what inroads the civilization of the east Is making on the life of the bound, less prairies. Once upon time, states the Kansas City Journal, draw poker was to Kansas what bridge whist is to the parlors of the fashionable. It was prac- tised as an art. a pastime. a profession. No one thought then of concealing his play of the game, but, rather. it was . subject of pride and boasting. Indeed, 1t was more than game, for it served al times in the adjudication of the most

Under the terms ol this historical game the committeeman who lost his chips withdrew himself and his apportionment plan from further consideration; and when the game was reduced to two gentlemen, the one who froze the other out fixed the plan of ap- portionment, which stands with little change as the plan of to-day.
 Volumes could be written of poker in- cidents in Kansas. Once a well known congressman, who, by the way. has reap peared in Kansas politics, had to meet the charge made by some overprudish people that he was addicted to the game of poker. He appealed to his political associates to help him out. The one who came most energetically to his recuss was Capt. Bill Hackney. the Winfield statesman. "I am in position to state. '' certified the doughty captain, "that MT. Blank is less addicted to the game than any man I ever played with"
 More elaborate but quite as effective was the defense once made by Steve Os- born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house. Some 12 years ago Steve was running for reelection to the office of district judge in western Kansas. The pops got out . handbill accusing him of being poker player" and circulated it widely.

THE wOMANLY WOMAN.
Sentleness and Re6s~went Are the & Chief ElementA @ Her Education.


 The big American banquet hall of the Manhattan hotel was crowded with members of the Emma Willard association and their friends on the occasion of the thirteenth annual ban quet of the organization. Among the speakers were Chancellor MacCracken. Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey. and Miss Spence, reports the New York Tribune, of recent date. Hun dreds of young men and women" said Mss Spence, "who have received their college degrees are not really edu' cated. They are thoroughly instruct ed, and perhaps amply equipped from a technical standpoint. But education means so much more than this It means individual development, cul- turA, Character. In every walk in life. to accomplish our purpose, we must know clearly at the start what we mean to do. If colleges and schools would really succeed in turning out educated men and women in the high est sense of the word, they must nrst define that term. h 1t to stand for nothing more than instruction in facts or other peoples ideas?

The sole de- sire of, alas! so many, is that their children shall have good time while they're young. And this Is right enough, but they should remember that the good time of the butterfly is not necessarily the good time of the girl, and that the true good time and growth of character are not incompat- ible.
 "True wonanliness should be one of the chief clements of a young wom- ans education. The unpardonable sins of womanhood are hardness and coarseness dearth of gentleness and any guise of selflshness. A virtue that should be earnestly cultivated by tho woman of to-day is a greater sincer- ity in the manners and customs of society. This is the contribution all true women should make to the so- ciety of their time. Society needs gen. tie women in the true sense of that word. Only that education is worth while which stands for service to the world-in some form, material or i'm material, and the latter is often the more real of the two. In fact, the ideal, whatever it be, is the real an oft said saying, but one as often forgotten in the details of daily life.

IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVEL.
Comfortable Fittings of Railway Cars for the Benefit of Sub-
 urban Passengers.

Some newspaper attention has lately been attracted to the "club cars" by which little groups of wealthy New York And Chicago business men increase the comfort of the daily trips between their suburban homes and their city offices. states Youths Companion.
 Each car is in effect club house on wheels. Most of the gorgeous fittings of the ordinary cars are removed, and simp- Ter and more tasteful decorations are substituted for them. Movable wicker chairs replace the fixed seats. Electric fans cool the air in summer. There are dressing rooms, libraries, experiments for the women, in short, everything which can contribute to the comfort of the<travelers.
 The cars ara open only to members of the group which hires them, but they represent merely the climax of con- stant improvement in travel, both by water and by rail.
 At the other end of the scale we'see the steerage accomm odations of the ocean steamships. Persons who are familiar only with the horrible conditions for which "a steerage passage" used to stand would be astonished if they were to visit . modern liner. More room, more light, more privacy, better food, better sleep- Ing and sanitary accommodations and an abundance of water, both for drinking and for bathing, are now possible even to the poor immigrant. The steerage passage of to-day is a more comfortable mode of travel than was the second cabin passage ten years ago. First cabin accommodations have improved correspondingly. One of the newest vessels has between 40 and 50 suites of rooms, each provided with it's private bath.
 What is most needed now is a substitu- ton of wicker or leather seats for the unsanitary plush so dear to American car builders and album makers, and Ereatar seating capacity in street cars.

AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of man Who Tries to Help Around
 the House.

When a married man gets out Of hls orbit, or off his half of the domestl, carpet, SO to speak, the consequences are always more or less disastrous t. him, says the Detroit Free Press.
 We've just moved" said an unhap- py-looking man in little neighbor- hood crowd of men who were buying their evening cigars at a corner to bacco shop. "Or, rather, we are hat moved. Half our household truck ba gone over to the new place, and bal is still with us Then sold a lot, too and got myself in awful hot water You know how 1t is when a man starts out in his own house to do thineA without asking his wife"
 "Oh, yes: we know" echoed all the others. rfu
 'In our stable attic," the man con. tinued, I've had lot of old stun stored. I've heard my wife say dozen times that we must look it over and sell a good deal of it the next time we moved To-day she was over to the other house, and as was kind of stand ing round, not knowing where to take hold next, along came junk man through the alley. I hailed him and took him up in the stable attic; there 1 sold him an old table, an old high chair, a battered old crib and car pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot found box of old battered brass trays, plaques and picture frames after he was gone, and peddled those of at nickel apiece to some neighborhood children who were tagging me around all day.
 "Of course. a man never really knows what he has sold until his wife tells him; and tomorrow I'm to chase all day after that junk man. I've sold our best parlor carpet, taken up when sum- mer came in, my wife's own highly treasured infants high chair and a crib which was also her mothers. and a real mahogany table she had stored away to have done over. She herself had paid nine dollars for the old table. and was glad to get it at that. Old tar. bles are getting scarce, she says" 7A Ua

COLONY OF SEA soUIRTs.
Curious Form of Life with Which Fathers and Small Boys Have
 Much Amusement.

Most of the tanks in the aquari- um have now been refined with rockwork, says the New York Sun. Anadvantage of rockwork for this purpose is that it affords places of lodgment for various forms of marine life, both vegetable and animal, which may be introduced into the tank either by accident or by design, to make a further addi- tion to the tanks attractiveness.
 Already in some of the tanks here these lesser forms, either planted or of accidental growth, are beginning to appear; a notable example of the last-named kind being found in the salmon rock fish tanks, in which there may now be seen, attached to the rocky lin. ing of the tank, a great colony, some thousands in number, of the familiar ascidian commonly known as the sea squirt.
 Everybody that has been much about the water knows the sea squirt, a leathery creature some what resembling a rubber water bottle in shape, with two siphon tubes like stubby little slightly curved bottle necks projecting from it's top. The sea squirt takes it's nourishment as the clam does. It absorbs minute forms of ami nal life of various sorts, along with quantities of water, through one of it's siphon tubes, and after extracting the nutriment it expels the water through the other.
 The sea squirt clings to the rocks along shore, and to sea grass, and it is found in many wa ters. It may be of dingy white or gray in color, like those now at the aquarium, though some sea squirts are of a dark rich brown, and there are others of a brilliant red. The largest of those here are about an inch and half in length. Sea squirts attain length of two or three inches or more.
 Fathers who know about them pick sea squirts from the rocks and play tricks with them by collaps- ing them and so squirting the wa ter on fellow bathers. Boys liv- ing by the water as in fishing towns, carry sea squirts to school with them, in their pockets, and there squeeze the water out of them. To collapse one in that man ner means the end of the sea squirt.
 A sea squirt left out of water by the receding tide might lie col lapsed and flat, but it would be more likely to have taken in wa ter enough to carry it until the tide covered it again, and it would be most likely to be found, be- tween tides, in places where it would get more or less moisture. If one should be left exposed for a longer time than usual on some bare rock, as it might be by an un. usually low tide, 1t would be burned and shriveled and de- stroyed by the suns hot rays.
 They were probably introduced Into this tank with shrimp put into it as food for the rockfsh.

Trinidad, COL, Oct 31.-The most
terrific explosion in the history Of
coal mining In Colorado occurred at
Mine No. 3 of the Rocky Mountain
Fuel and Iron company at Teroio, ten
miles due west Of Trinidad, and the
number Of dead Is variously placed at
between thirty and sixty men. The
number reported as having gone into
the mine was seventeen miners and
four company men. This afternoon
many more miners are known to have
gone into the mine and the exact mum.
Der Of the dead may never be known.
as the mine Is still burning and in all
likelihood the bodies will be cremated.
A large number Of mine officials left
here as soon as word Of the accident
was received. Company doctors were
picked up all along the line as well
as other available physicians. United
States Government Stock Inspector
F. ]. Foreman was at Teroio when the
explosion occurred. He returned here
tonight and gives the following &C.
count of the affair.
I was standing not more than 800
yards from the mouth of the tunnel
when the explosion occurred. The ex-
plosion was proceeded by a low rum
bling sound resembling an earthquake
which made the earth tremble and
startled the whole camp.
Immediately after the explosion
which was for all the world like a
volcanic eruption, came the widest
excitement. Women, men and children
rushed to the mouth Of the tunnel,
and women whose husbands were in
the mine had to be brought away by
miners to keep them from being killed
by deadly fumes coming from the
mouth of the tunnel.
"The mine in which the accident
occurred works eighty men and 1t is
believed that at least sixty men were
in the mine at the time.
News Of the explosion brought as
sistance from the adjacent camps and
tonight hundreds of men are trying
to get into the mine. Deadly fumes
overcome the rescuers, frequently, but
their places are Immediately taken
by Others ready to risk their lives
1t is not thought possible that anyone
in the mine can escape death if they
are not dead already.

Adjustment.

London, Oct. 29.-The situation
growing out Of the action Of the Rus
sian squadron in sinking the British
trawlers is described t. ,.,3day's dis
patches az acute, Blu. Mll capable Of
satisfactory adjustment. The eagerly
awaited report Of Vice Admiral Rojest'
vensky has been received by the EN-
peror, but his explanation only serves
to increase the mystery and throw
an additional sensational feature into
the affair. He said that he was at
tackled in the darkness by two torpe'
do craft, which came from the direc'
ton Of the fishing feet, and that, II
the fire he directed against the tor.
pedo boats struck the trawlers, 1t was
accidental, and expressed his warm
regret Of the occurrence.
Russian dispatches place much
stress upon the report as giving an
entirely new aspect to the situation
and point out that the skipper Of the
trawler, Moulmein, in an interview on
Sunday night, said that two torpedo
vessels approached the feet and that
firing followed. The report of Carr,
the admiral Of the fishing fleet, how
ever, made no mention Of this Incl.

cial.) -There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure Of the little
