WOMAN'S VARIOUS CHARMS
A Clever Definition Of Some of the
Most Captivating Character
istics of the Fair Sex.

Animation, brightness, vivacity are
some of woman's most captivating
charms. A tear may move pity. but it
is smile that commands admiration.
Even q witty woman must not be for
ever sparkling-that is monotonous
and wearying; the perpetual flashing
of diamonds tires the eyes and the
brain. She must have her sober mo-
ments, if only to throw into higher
relief the moments when she is gay.
A woman is most charming when she
is tender and sympathetic. She may
dazzle when she is merry, but when
she is gentle and full of sympathy she
enchants mans heart. When her
voice takes softened tone. and her
eyes look words that her lips hesitate
to say-then, if she only knew her
power, it would be time of peril for
the world at large! She could do with
it what she chose; only she never
knows it. Probably she charms the
most when she is most unconscious of
her power. The very Inconsistencies
is part of the charm. A woman is
always charming when she is good
natured. Bad temper never charmed.
Sarcasm may amuse when it is d.
rected against some one else, but it
does not win anyone's heart. Good
temper is an attraction even in plain
woman. When a woman has that in
addition to her~other qualities-when
she is natural in her manners, uncon-
scious, lively, tender and gentle-then,
indeed, she is charming to all the
world. Sometimes she possesses a
quality known as fascination, which no
one has ever yet been able to define
a quality outside Of and beyond all the
attractions above mentioned, and indie
pendent of them to the ordinary eye.
But with this fascination very good
substitute may be formed from the
qualities already enumerated. and
many a woman can cultivate these
graces and make herself charming in
the eyes Of all who know -her.-N. Y.

NEW LIFE-SAVING GUN.

a breech loader is now being substituted.
TO get the best results the gun should be
adapted to conditions of darkness, cold
and wet weather, which conditions are
directly opposed to the successful work.
ing of the muzzle-loading gun, with its
unprotected powder charge bags, its
open bore pointing skyward and closed
at the lower end, forming a natural re-
ceptacle for water, and its open igniting
primer and wooden carriage, which
must be securely tied down to prevent
recoil. Speaking of the new system, the
Scientific American says:
1.-The improved life-saving gun is
considerably less than three feet in
length, and is built of steel and a special
bronze alloy, which resists the action of
salt air and water. The gun tapers from
the breech, where the greatest strain
comes, to diameter of five inches at the
muzzle. A special self-locking mechan-
ism, at once the simplest and having the
fewest working parts of any yet devised,
closes the rear of the bore in such way
that any water finding its way into the
gun will be instantly drawn out The
firing hammer with its safety device is
actuated by lanyard, and relies wholly
on the pull of the gunner, all the springs
and delicate catches ordinarily used in
army cannon being entirely eliminat-
ed. TO prevent the troublesome and dan
gerous jumping back Of the gun when
fired it is provided with simple liquid
recoil checks attached to the trunnions
and operating very similarly to the
common door check. Instead of having
the powder charge in loose wooden bag
open to moisture, it is contained, togeth-
er with its primer, in a Theoretically
sealed bronze cartridge core, which slips
easily into the breech of the gun. After
the cartridge has been inserted and the
breech closed the projectile carrying the
line is inserted in the muzzle and showed
home. This projectile is a cylindrical
shot, rounded elliptically at the inner
end and having means for securing the
shot line at the outer end"

ALARM THAT WORKS WELL.
Any Bright Young Man Can Mako
One at an Expense of But
49, a Few Cents. -

. A young man with any mechanical
ability can easily make the following
electric alarm. 1t will ring at the hour,
set, and will keep ringing until the
switch is turned off, There is no rolling
over for another nap.
The necessary materials are an elec-
trio bell, few feet of annunciator wire,
a switch, dry battery, left-handeI
screw of any size wire and thread lit
can best be made from one and a half
inch stove bolt), square piece of Nor
way iron, say one and quarter inches
by one-eighth inch thick, with a hole
tapped out in center for left-hand bolt
to fit, and piece of brass three-quarter
inch by two and a half inches. Any
piece of spring metal will do if you can,
not get brass. ,
The alarm illustrated is mounted on
a neat little box e, about Is by inches.
It holds eight batteries Although one

A Scrapbook Of Real Value.

To devote a scrapbook to one subject
makes it much more interesting and
valuable, and when you begin to gather
material on any one theme you will be
surprised at the amount which will
come to hand. Suppose that you want
to know all about some famous person,
either in the public eye at present, or
some one of past times. From maya
zines and other sources can be col
lected articles, portraits, perhaps poems
in relation to the subject, etc. When
matter is clipped. the scrapbook
maker may copy it neatly with pen
into her book. The educational value
of such book is something worth
while, as we'll as the satisfaction of
having gathered oneself so much in,
formation on a single subject.

Until better day should come.

With tiny passion all untold
She went, unfaltering, the way

And in the yielding arms they laid

From bright blue eyes to slippered 1ees
She looked so happy none woulo guess
She had moments loneliness
or wished a moment she might pass
Beyond the shining prison-glass.
