has always been a proverbially ''particu-
lar housekeeper, and the problem of Sc

Not long ago she complained of a head
ache and a sore throat. The Christian
Scientist advised her to consult a physi-
clan, for it is not custom among per-
sons of that sect to obtrude their views
on others, nor do they, so far as | can
learn, offer their mode of healing unasked
The treasure didn't want TO doctor,
so after some consideration, her mistress
asked her if she would like her to take
the matter up in thought. The maid hadn't

but she gave her consent, and next morn
Christian Scientist, while entertaining
friends at tea that day, spoke of the cure

parted, the maid announced that Miss Lucy
would have to suit herself with another
girl. Miss Lucy used all her powers of
persuasion to induce the treasure to re-
consider the matter, but to no avail The
treasure was bent on leaving, and she pre-
ferred not to say what private griefs urged
her TO it. Finally after much urging, she
disclosed her grievance.

prize deserved it, without doubt. She had
herself done up in tissue-paper, was put in
large pasteboard box, and was delivered
by express at the house at the luncheon

For Table Decoration.

Miniature fountains are the latest idea
in table decoration and one shop shows
some that are exceedingly beautiful and eff
fective. bali of metal fitted with a
sprayer which sends a stream of water a
foot or so into the air is surrounded by a
circle of metal network in which clusters
OF violets, lilies of the valley, or other shor.
stemmed flowers may be placed, complete
ly hiding the framework beneath. Below
this is set deep crystal dish into which
the water falls and the metal ball is per-
forated all round at intervals so that when
the water in the dish reaches a certain
height it flows back into the ball The lit
tie fountain will play for twelve or four
teen hours and so, no matter how many
courses a hostess may have planned, she
need have no fear of its going out suddenly
in the midst of the dinner. The pretty
fountains come in two sizes, the larger one
costing $50, the smaller $25
Another new idea in the way of center
pieces, relieving the vases and bowls which
are SO lOng-suffering, are small crystal
vases either in ball shape lily patterns,
beautifully cut and graceful in design. One
design shows holder in god-finished metal
lying in graceful branch design against
the table, the crystal vases rising at in
tervals from the slender stems. The vases
are filled with short-stemmed blossoms,
which heretofore have been a bit imprac-
ticable for decoration. Other designs in the
same effect show the branch designs built
up high, instead of lying fat, and the vases
are set irregularly above each other.
Individual vases in similar designs are.
set tiny branches of FURNISHED metal
and others are simply small bowls of
crystal or Bohemian glass. In the latter
large bowl designed for the center of the
table is in an odd square design and the
clear green and white of the glass add a
beauty OF color TO the artistic lines.
The cut-glass comportes for olives, bon
bons, cakes and other goodies have taken
unto themselves stills, and instead of hand
some bowls and dishes fiat on the table the
smart things are now the shallow dishes
set on standards all beautifully cut. The
newer mode has the advantage in that il
exhibits more effectively the beauty of the
for the cakes has something the effect of
the old-fashioned ''cnkestand," but that
heghtens rather than dminishes its beauty

AUTO SEASON CLOSING.

The automobile season for 1904 is not
yet ended, but is rapidly drawing to a
close, and each passing week records
fewer and fewer active events. Track
racing in the north has nearly ended.
Road record breaking trials for the sea-
son seem to be over with. Many ambi-
tious aspirants for honors in this line
announced their intention of going after
Holcomb's Chicago New York record,
but the weather has been so uniformly
bad between the Windy City and Goth
am that they seem to have changed
their minds.
Holcomb's mark of So hours and As
minutes for a 1000 mile journey with a
30-35 horsepower machine marks the
best road performance ever credited to
any machine in America and establishes
a record which will be hard to reduce.
Any reductions which are made in the
future will probably be counted by min
uteS, not hours.
The great Vanderbilt cup race is over
and done with. and, without entering
into an argument as to the good it did
the automobile industry, it was surely
a success. America made a better
showing than many expected.

ALoIs PENNARINI.

Alois Pennarini, one of the foreign
stars in Henry w. Savage's production
of "Parsifal'' in English, has been the
principal tenor at the Stadt theater in
Hamburg for the past five years. He
was born in Vienna in 1870 and is the
son of a court official. At an early age
he was sent to the Luxembourg School
of Forestry, but music was more to his
taste, and after a successful trial he
entered the Vienna Conservatory.
Mr.. Pennarini studied with Cans
bacher and Ress in Vienna and with
Blume in Berlin. His first appearance
was made at the Stadt theater in
Pressburg, Hungary, in the role of Tu-
riddu in "Cavalleria Rusticana."
After short engagement at Elberfeld
he was engaged for a season of Ital-
ian opera at the Theatre am de Wien
in Vienna, where he had such artists as

played nowadays shows scores in which
the total runs for both teams will be
not more than five. The team which is
fortunate enough to bag couple of
runs or more in the first inning has the
game practically won, and the element
of surprise and uncertainty is mini
mixed. This is particularly true in the
American league, where the teams are
more evenly matched IN pitching
strength than in the National.
The American league inclines toward
the abolition of the foul strike and per-
haps further handicapping the pitcher
by compelling him to use fewer motions
in delivering the ball.
The National league inclines toward
retaining the foul strike and offsetting
it by some such means as reducing the
number of balls emitting a batter to
first base. The American league does
not need the foul strike for the purpose
which caused it's original adoption; the
National league does. That was to
shorten games. The American league
games were short enough without the
foul strike.
A comparison of the time of games in
period of time has demonstrated that
the time required to play an inning av-
ges from two to three minutes lon
ger in the National than in the Amer
lean league. Much of this difference oc-
ours while the players are changing
