One useful element Of a literaryst style
is suggestion. The author does not
tell laborious story. He presents a
picture in as few words as possible,
allowing the reader to fill in the de-
tails for himself. This was the un-
conscious method of little Margaret,
who, says the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, had had a present of some
sugared almonds and was laboring
under an impulse Of generosity.
"Aunty," said she, "don't you
want some of my almonds ?"
F'Thank you, DEAR" was the
prompt reply, 81 will take one or
two. Sugared almonds are favor
ties of mine"
E'Well, which is the most favor
ties, the pink ones or the white
ones ?"
81 will take the white ones, please
that is, if you don't mind"
'That'll be just right, aunty.
You take the white ones, and I'll
keep the pink ones. They were all
pink at first"

PATTI GOES SKATING.
Two Hours Upon the Ice at Toronto,
and Concert Day Too.

Two Hours Upon the Ice at Toronto,
and a Concert Day Too.
When Mime. Patti, the famous singer,
was in Toronto recently she received
an invitation from gentleman to go
skating on his private lake, says the
Kansas City Star. To the surprise of
everybody and the CONSERVATION of her
manager, she accepted the offer. Nine.
Patti and her husband, Baron Ceder-
strom, drove three miles to the estate
Of the gentleman in question. Nine.
Patti surprised her host and hostess
by drawing her own skates out of
channels bag. The skates had steel
runners, but were mounted in silver
and gold. For two hours Mime. Patti,
who is past sixty years Of age, enjoyed
herself on the ice with the baron, who,
being a Swede, knows. of course, ev-
erything about skating In fact, he
taught Nine Patti to skate on the lake
adjoining Craig-y-Nos.
After the sport at the pond Nine.
Patti returned to the mansion and ate
a luncheon, in which champagne fig
ured, too, after which the baron and
she drove back to town. After a rest
of half an hour she dressed for the con-
cert and at o'clock was on the stage
Of Massey hall singing. At II o'clock
she left the hotel to go to her private
car, where she took supper, and start
ed for Cleveland at midnight.
Quite an active day for any woman,
young or old, but remarkable in the
case of a celebrated singer. Prima
donnas seldom leave their rooms the
day they are to sing, and as for eating
beforehand, it is suicide of the voice,
they say.

Radiuaaa In Utah Ore.

The rare element in the mineral king
dom known as radium, the quoted price
Of which is $2,721,00 a pound, has
been discovered to exist in 'carnolite,"
q newly discovered ore in Utah, says
the New York Press. The discovery
was made by Professor Alexander
Hamilton Phillips, assistant professor
Of mineralogy, who found it possible
to obtain from twenty-five pounds Of
carnolite a sample of radium that
shows about 1900 activity as compared
with 1000 activity in the element OBJ
tanned from European ores. This being
a little less than one-sixth in activity,
makes a corresponding reduction in
price, so that the Utah radium can be
had for the present at the bargain fig
ure of $4,000 pound

bles and fittings weigh 5000 tons. The
diameter of the suspension cables, out
side Of the wires, is eighteen and three
quarter inches. There are 1906 wires
in each cable. Each wire is about
three-siXteenths of an inch in diam
eter, and the length of each is $500
feet.
The timber used in the construction
of the bridge amounted to 100000
feet. The eXcavating equaled $4,000
cubic yards Of concrete masonry
there are 10000 cubic yards and of
stone masonry 10000 cubic yards.

BEVERlDGE'S IDEA OF WORK
Indiana Senator's Experience With
Russian Interpreter.


When Senator Albert j. Beveridge Of
Indiana was gathering material in Rus
STA for his book, 1.-THE Russian Adj
vance," recently published by the Har-
pers, he had an amusing experience
with a native interpreter. Mr.. Bever-
idge has the prime quality of the sue
cessful man, a capacity for hard work.
Having engaged the interpreter, Mr..
Beveridge started in on a good day Of
American hustle" with this result:
After first days work. from Z a. m. to
Z D. M, interpreter somewhat exhaust
ed, Mr. Beveridge fresh and hearty:
after second days work, same hours,
interpreter gasping, Mr.. Beverage en-
Enthusiastically planning the work for
next day; after third days work, inter-
prefer requesting day off for rest, Mr..
Beveridge regretfully giving his per-
mission. But after that day the inter
prefer never turned up again. Later
the senator heard that he complained
he couldn't work with man who
wanted to do a years work in day.
Subsequent frequent relays of fresh in
terpreters enabled Mr.. Beyeridge to ac-
cOmplish his own work in his own way.

Civilization OF the Crows.

The Grow indians. once the terror
or the plains, are new scheduled as
among the most Industrious and pros
porous Indians in the country There
are about 1000 of them on the Grow
reservation ii Montana, and they have
been reported at Washington as self
supporting" There are gradations of
Worthlessness even among savages, and
the Grows were h-ore energetic in their
wild life than were many OF the other
tribes, and especially those of tile coast.
1t is not surprising therefore that they
are more energetic in semicivilized life
than the others and are ready sooner to
dispense with government rations.--

twenty-five years ago there was in
central Glasgow great accumulation
OF narrow streets. dismal lanes and
filthy closes. where disease and death
held high carnival and vice and crime
lifted their heads unabashed." But
special acts of parliament have been
obtained. and the larger portion of this
district has been reconstructed, and the
remainder is being dealt with. AS a
result the death rate, which in 1876
was PA pei 1000 is now oil per 1000
for the whole town. The death rate
of the central district was 40 per 1000,
and ct Is still 80 per 1000.
