Each Spout Is a Handle.

To obviate this difficulty many a
hostess provides both in sufficient
quantity to meet the wants of her
guests, necessitating the use of two
pots and two stands. Why not dis
pense with this trouble and utilize the
combination tea and coffee pot which
has recently been designed by a
Pennsylvania inventor? AS the il
lustration shows, it is capable of pour
ing cup of either beverage on a
moments notice, and that, too, with
out burning the hand by contact with
either spout handle. AS will be seen,
the two spouts, which also serve as
handles for the pot, are surrounded
by coils of wire, which prevent the
hand from grasping the heated metal
when reversing the pot to pour a cup
Of drink from the spout that has pre-
viously been used as the handle. The

"The Americanos know all," he said

I doubt if the Cordilleras ever look

''Why do the young men always

looking toward the part of the trail
where I had seen the party throw the
objects into the long grass when they
first sighted us.
The Alzados looked uncomfortably
at one another when this was trans.

replied:

The warrior must go close to the bar

and wait until it comes to him. He

In reply to questions, he went on to
explain that the heads Of enemies

were believed to bring good luck in
about all the details of life among
the A1zados. To kill and cut off heads
before seed time and harvest brought
luck, brought the rains and warded
off the anger of the Anita, who. he
assured us, had a weakness for the
heads of strangers.

Here is plan for an attractive cot
age that can surely be built for ST.
900 anywhere. Entering the house
you find yourself in fairly large hall,
with an attractive staircase immedi-
ately before you, and on the right
cheerful sitting room. The staircase
is designed with seat at one side,
and is an open stair to the first land
ing, with nicely turned balusters and
rail. The space under the stair is
used as the stair to the basement
from the combined dining room and
kitchen.
The sitting room has a corner ar
rangement, showing a pleasant bay to
form sort of circular alcove addition
to the room, yet the expense of it is
not great, as it is partly supported
and rooted by the porch. and the re-
mainder extends over the foundation.
The dining room and kitchen are
combined, with a pantry and wash
room. The downstairs bedroom can
be used as library, if desired, cut
ting out the closet, and having a large
cased opening between this room and
the sitting room.
On the second floor there are two
bedrooms, one on each side of the
hall, which are lighted by the DOR
mers, as is seen by the exterior view.
This dormer also gives good ventila-
ton, as the transoms over the bed
room doors give a circulation of air
through the second story rooms. Al
though it may appear in the exterior
that there are sloping ceilings in the
second floor bedrooms, such is not
the case to great extent. There is
only foot cut off of the wall and
ceiling for the roof. There is a single
chimney, and it is nicely located for
heating the house either with stoves
or furnace. At each side of the
second floor bedrooms are large
spaces left under the roof, which
make excellent storage closets.
The house is "a by % feet. The in
terror woodwork is finished in natur-
al finish, and half of the space under
the first floor is excavated for a large
cellar.

To Prevent Rear-End Collisions.
A model illustrating a method of
averting large class of railway acci-
dents that are known as rear-end COL
lisions was exhibited short time ago
In New York city.
On the track, 80 feet from the ordi-
nary semaphore, is placed a dwarf
semaphore, whose movements are
made to correspond with those of the
other. whether the latter is operated
by hand or electricity. From the side
OF the locomotive projects downward
Z rod OF glass, in such a position that
1t will strike the dwarf semaphore
when the signal is set at danger. Con-
tact breaks the glass. The immediate
effect OF this is to bring into play in
the cab a steam mechanism which
shuts the throttle, locks it, applies the
air brakes, and finally deposits sand
on the track. Only when the train
stops can the engineer unlock his
throttle. He must first adjust a fresh
glass rod in place of the broken one.
Thus an effective safeguard is provid-
ed against running past sixnal on
account Of the sickness, death or care
lessness Of the engineer, or fog or
smoke.
The apparatus is so designed that
it the engineer having his wits about
him, Aand having his train under con-
troll, wishes to do so, he can prevent
the smashing of the glass rod, and
run slowly to the main semaphore.
To keep the rod from hitting the
dwarf semaphore, he touches a
mechanism in the cab which shifts the
position of the ''destructible member, -
and saves it from injury. When he
does so, however, a record of the time
is made automatically on an Indicator,
so that he cannot play any tricks
without the fact being known.

We were outnumbered, and had

A CoIIapsible Stretcher.

1t has been said that Japan went to
war with China simply to secure the
discipline and training necessary for
the impending conflict with Russia,
which is but another example of a
nation profiting by the motto, though
admittedly peculiar in the manner in
which it was carried out. But nations
are not alone in needing this admoni-
tion. The inventor has taken it upon
himself at all times to strive for the
Improvement and advancement Of all
that goes to make war terrible, from
the ship-burning mirror Of Archime-
des to the rapid-f1re gun Of the modern
inventor. But if war has been made
more horrible, the hospital equipment
has In a measure kept pace with it
from the humane point Of view, un-
til the sick or wounded men can now
be properly cared for until claimed by
the grim reaper or restored to health,
with the chances more in favor Of the
latter outcome than they were even a
few years ago.
