LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of Its
 Restrictions.

What is it, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely? It is, believe, that he feels himself in country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; a country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, "go0d form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society, comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which infects the American air like sting and challenge, and braces every Amerl- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life; that there are open op- portunities, unreserved possibilities, no battering at locked doors, no tioun- dering in blank alleys; that here, In short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing it.

The Picture Hat.

"I witnessed an amusing incident at one of the local theaters the other evening"" remarked the theater-goer "A woman, wearing a large picture hat, was seated directly in front of an elderly man, who was straining his neck in an endeavor to see what was happening on the stage, and, of course, it was only possible for him to see but one-third of the .rformance.
 s'The second sst had begun, and could plainly see that his anger was increasing. At last, when he could stand it no longer, he lightly tapped the woman on the shoulder, and, in as gentle tone as he possibly could mus ter, said:
 Madam, pardon me, but paid two dollars for this seat. and your hat
 "My hat cost $25, sir-r-r!' came the naughty reply.

The device consists of distributor, which, by the action of clockwork, drops sodium peroxide into water at regular intervals, cubical steel box and ventilating fan. The sodium peroxide is decomposed by the water with liberation of oxygen, ab- sorption of carbon 'dioxide and destruc- tion of the other toxic products of res piration. A refrigerator is also sup piled to counteract the heating effects of the chemical reactions. The com plete apparatus weighs about 26 pounds.-Detroit News-Tribuna

REMEMBER WoMAN'S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair, But the Power of Her Eye
 Is Potent.

A woman's eyes are the first objects to attract a mans attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair, the dimple in her chin and the soft, sweet sound of her voice, the look in her eye remains with him, says an authority on the sub- ject.
 He may not be able to single her glove out of pile of keepsakes; he may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with lot of others; the slippers she made him may have been worn out by his valet, but still some particular turn of her glance, some little trick of dropping her lashes or lifting her brown eyes will be as clear to him as the daylight. Ten years after love has been lad away in his little satin-lined casket that glance will rise like BanquO's ghost at the feast and startle him just at the moment when the man is look ing most intently into the eyes of an- other woman.
 
 which man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten a man will turn from the glance of 8 pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the red headed girl on the other side of the table, and many doll-like, blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-nosed, fox h 11,ro hsar sweetheart.
 Ask any man the color of his sisters eyes and he will look at you blankly "Jove," he will remark, 1T believe I've forgotten. But they're all right. There's something about them that's catchy" And that is positively all that can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes were green or that Cleopatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with the machinations of those fascinating la dies, nor dulled their regulations as coquettes Color size and shape may make an eye beautiful, but they never can give it that something which so many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess, the power to make a man break a bank or sell his overcoat in order to give his wife what she wants.
 When the world was sentimental men called it "soul." Then they grew practical and apathetic and they called it character" But no man will ever know what it is any more than he will ever know why he married the particu- lar. woman he picked out or why the cook has left. It is question as subtle and elusive as either of these.

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young Americans with Genius for
 Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been be- fore 7 the mast, had worked in the chemical department of a mill and had lectured upon nitrous-oxide gas throughout the country patented the rotating chamber for a pistol. It was not considered particularly valuable un- til after his first company that made it had failed and fights in Texas and with the Seminoles in Florida proved it's worth. The Mexican war made de- mand for it.
 The same mechanic, says the Worlds Work, who did so much for early ax-making developed details in revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner was probably the first man to suggest the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense, and he was the first to lay a submarine electric cable. One day a young man from Vermont came to his works
 What can you do?" asked the su- perintendent.
 'I'm a machinist, a toolmaker and a diesinker and can play horn in a band" was the reply.
 He went to work the next day. A few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac tory, and by another invention saved the company $50,000 on contracts ai- ready made. Later, with sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half. Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron, steel and copper. An example of his in- ventive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from a single piece of copper commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such scheme was im- possible.

CARE OF BRITISH TROOPS.
It Is Reported That Officers Are Very Much Dissatisfied with Their
 Uniforms.

But, for some inscrutable reason, our soldiers appear to think their uniform is a badge of shame, or, at least, of servitude, says the London Truth. Any self-respecting officer, so far as l can see, would rather die at the head of a forlOrn hope than go to a theater or restaurant or private ball full of reg imentals. A noncommissioned officer who sees brother warrior privileged to walk down the street in plain clothes turns sick with envy. No soldier of any rank seems to consider that uni- form can enhance his attractions to the female eye, and the only way in which l have ever heard of it's being used for this purpose is by the humble, impecunious private, who charges a fe- male admirer so much an hour-two pence, l believe, the usual fee-for walking out in company with him.
 What makes this the more strange is that it is entirely peculiar to the Brit ish army. In every foreign country soldiers-and officers most of all-seem to be extremely proud of themselves therein. The effect of smart military uniforms in brightening up crowd, whether out of doors or at any evening assemblage, is undeniable. As a mere matter of aesthetics most people will agree that it would be decided im- prevement if uniforms were worn in England as they are on the continent. And from the merely professional point of view I cannot help thinking that it would be of advantage to the army if soldiers of all ranks were expected to take more pride in the kings livery, and not encouraged so much as they now are to consider it a privilege to appear as civilians

Priest and Donkey.

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo, some 20 years ago, he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him, and few scored victory. On one occasion young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley, by scofing at religion and clergymen. Failing in this, he resorted to sheer impotence, saying: "I am informed that in Mada- gascar, whenever they hang a priest, they hang donkey along with him."
 The young man laughed, and Mons. Farley, looking at him mildly, said: "Well, let us both be thankful, my young friend, that we are not in Madagas- ca"
