Mrs. Chases rosy face wore an
unaccustomed frown when her friend,
Susan Wetherbee, came in, and as
it did not lift imediately, Susan sought
to ease the situation. As a begin
ming she asked Mrs. Chase II she had
met the new minister yet; II he had
called. The question proved to have
been judiciously chosen.
Yes, he has" replied Mrs. Chase,
in tone that plainly said she wished
he had not.
Hes real social" Susan remarked
after a discreet pause. Like own
folks"
Mrs. Chase ignored this. Susan"
she broke forth, "of all laundering
young ones, 1 blieve my Salome's

to say a thing she'll find 1t. And all

to add emphasis to her reply.

Persian Dinners.

Persian dinners are very much like
ours, only turned the wrong way
round. The feast is preceded by
pipes while tea and sweets are handed
about Then the servants of the house
appear, bringing in a long leather
sheet, which they spread in the middle
OF the floor. The guests squat around
this, tailor-fashion. When all are seat
ed, fat loaf of bread is placed be-
fore every one, and the band then COM
mences to play. The various dishes
are brought in on trays, and arranged
around the leather sheet at intervals

MARITIME WORLDS FAIR.
Robert Fulton Anniversary VIII Be g
Memorable Occasion.

Robert Fulton Anniversary Will Be a
Memorable Occasion.
Plans are being made in New York
to celebrate two years hence the cen
tenary Of the use of steam In naviga-
ton by the holding Of what would
seem to be a sort of maritime worlds
fair. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer
On Aug. Z. 1907, Robert Fulton's Cler-
mont made her epoch-making voyage
on the Hudson which revolutionized
sea commerce and sea warfare. The
Clermont was not the first steamboat,
for attention is now being called to an
interesting coincidence which should
give the proposed celebration double
significance. In 1907 II will be just
200 years since the Frenchman, Papin,
drove a crude steamboat on the river
Fulda. But though the Clermont was
not the first steamship, she marked at
all events the beginning Of steam nav
igation, and 1t will not detract from
her inventors fame to recall that the
centennial celebration In his honor will
be also a bicentenary in marine annals
New York is, of course. the place OF
ali others for the observance OF the
anniversary, for not only was the
Clermont's momenrous voyage made In
its waters, but the city is the foremost
port in the new world. and has, more
over, in its grand bay and two great
rivers, a natural setting unsurpassed
anywhere on earth for a maritime
spectacle such as is contemplated.
The affair should with the most per
/ feet propriety be of an industrial
rather than a military character and
celebrate the victories OF peace rather
than those OF war. for the revolution
in naval warfare followed necessarily
from Clermont's performance. 1t Is
proposed, however. to ask Admiral
Togo to attend. nor would this be with
out its special fitness, for Togo is the
greatest naval warrior In the day OF
steam, as Nelson was in the day OF
sails. The presence Of the victor II
the only great naval battle since steam
was applied to ships would be more
than an interesting feature OF whai
should be made really remarkable
and truly international occasion.

SHEDDING IN SWEDEN.
Only Country in Which the Sparkstot-
ting IL ia Common Use


ting IL ia Common Use
The Swedes have made a fine art Of
shedding. Their fastest sled is called
the sparksto,t ng and is an exceed.
ingly light sled that the inhabitants
OF Norriand, a province situated at the
north Of Sweden, employ during the
winter as a means Of locomotion.
The use Of 1t now extends through
out Sweden, where races upon this
original vehicle constitute one OF the
most highly appreciated sports Of win
ter. Among other people Of the NORTH
in Russia, Scotland and Germany, this
sport is entirely unknown, fact that
is somewhat extraordinary, considering
that the sparkstotting can be employ
ed in all countries in which the rigors
of winter permit Of the use of ordi-
nary sleds.
The sparkstotting Is constructed en-
tirely Of Norway spruce. 1t is straight,
of elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. 1t consists of two
runners, curved upward in front, and
six and one-half feet in length. To
each Of the runners is fixed an upright
that serves both as point Of support
and a tiller The entire affair is con-
nected by two or three crosspieces, one
of which supports a light seat placed
twelve inches above the surface.
The Norrland sled differs percept
bly, from the Vesterbotten type, IN
which the runners, which are much
shorter. are not shod with iron, but
are well creased or impregnated witt
boiling tar. The lightest and best type
for racing is the one manufactured a
Umea, Norway. In order to push tbs
sparkstotting the racer. bearing will
both hands upon the extremities o
the uprights, places his left foot upor
the runner to the left, and then witt
the right foot strikes the ground a
regular intervals so as to propel tn
sled forward.
II the snow Is very hard and tn
racer is not provided with spiked shoe
it is necessary for him to fix steel calk
to the soles. In recent times a hori
zontal bar, breast high, has been place
,, between the uprights. This modifics
. ton renders the steering easier an
! besides permits of governing with
single hand. Upon level route tn
sparkstotting reaches pretty goo
speed without great effort.
An experienced racer, when tn
snow is in good condition, can easil
attain the speed of horse on tro
In ascents 1t is necessary to push tn
. sparkstotting or to drag 1t, but TIL
; does not cause much fatigue, OWN
to its lightness and the. feeble surfac

\ sled 1t is possible to run very fast

Serpent Immune from Its Venom

Serpent Immune from It's venom
One of the most important things
about serpent venom is that each
species seems to be immune to its own
poison. II snake is inoculated with
it's own venom 1t remains unaffected.
NJ. c. Phisalix. who has done so much
on this subject. finds experimental evil
dence that this immunity is to be at
tributed to- the presence in the blood
of free antitoxin. This neutralizes

Ashanti Brides in Gala Attire.

A wedding in Ashanti is among the
more educated natives, quite a mo-
mentous event. Long before the aus.
picious day arrives, the all-important
question of dress arises and is dis
cussed. Very often the dresses of the
bride and bridesmaids are ordered
from England. The bride considers
orange blossoms to be an absolute
necessity, and when the day arrives
she stands before the altar in white
satin or silk dress which is generally
decorated with silver leaves and or
ange blossoms, a tulle veil, and she
carries a boquet of flowers in her
hands. The bridesmaids have on new
frocks. All wear white kid gloves
and new boots, and the men are re-
splendent in frock coats and white tall
hats.
