there Is generally something interest
ing to be found among .ne housefur-
nishings.
One of the latest inventions Is de-
signed for the service of the woman
who must wash dishes whether she
wants to on not. This contrivance,
as pictured above, Is a brush fitted
to a strip of rubber tubing which
may be attached to the faucet. The
dishes are washed by means Of the
brush and the fair presiding genius
of the operation need not put her
hands into dish water at all.
A triplicate spoon as shown in the
accompanying group is another COM
paratively recent invention. 1t is in
tended for measuring salt or other
seasonings, and the sizes are re-
spectively those of tea, dessert and
table spoons.
The familiar styles Of butter molds
now have rival in this latest produc-
ton shown here, and which Is said to
be both serviceable and economical.

Beauties Must Sleep.

Women who sleep a great deal and
comfortably, who are addicted to
maps and regard nine hours Of whole
some rest as absolutely requisite to
their physical well-being are the wo.
men who defy the frosting hand OF
time. These are the women whose
wrinkles are few and far between
and whose eyes remain the brightest
and cheeks the rosiest for the long
est period after the bloom Of youth
has fed. No less notable a beauty
than Diana de Poictiers. who retained
her irresistible loveliness until her
77th year, recognized the value OF
sleep as a preventive Of wrinkles. In
deed, SO fearful was she of losing a
moment of perfect rest that, mistrust-
ing the beds of her friends, she car
ried her own, with its splendid fit-
tings, on all her journeys.

EnoIish as She is Spoke.

A story is told of German teach

STRANGE Burial Custom.

Natives of the northeast coast Of
Scotland observe curious custom at
funerals. After the burial service the
coffin is carried outside the house and
placed upon the two chairs on which
1t had rested within doors. As soon
as the pallbearers lift up their bur-
den and begin their journey to the
graveyard these chairs are at once
thrown sharply on their backs. Ii
this position they are kept until the
interment has taken place, when they
are taken indoors again. Any at
tempt to place the chairs on their legs
or to take them in before the proper
time is at once frustrated by the rel
atives of the dead

Engine and Train Without Driver.

Germany possesses a miniature but
most useful railway to which no par
allel is found in this country. Its pc
'culiarity is that its trains have no
drivers. 1t is used for carrying salt
from the salt mines at Stasfurt. The
trains consist of thirty trucks. each
carrying half ton of salt. The en-
gines are electric, of twenty-four
horsepower each. AS it approaches a
station, Of which there are five along
the line, the train automatically rings
a bell and the station attendant turns
a switch to receive it. He is able to
stop it at any moment. To start it
again he stands on the locomotive.

France and Russia
Understand Each Other

Paris. July CAS- sequel to the
conference between Premier Rouvier
and NJ. Witte at the Foreign Office on
Saturday, the Russian peace plenipo-
Tertiary held an extended conversation
with NJ. Nelidoff, the Russian Embas-
sador, after which special couriei

patches for the Emperor.
The utmost reserve has been OBJ.
served with reference to the exchanges
made at Saturdays meeting, but there
Is reason to believe that the French
Premier is now fully acquainted with
the Russian standpoint and with the
line OF action which Witte will adopt
at the peace conference.
Witte appears to be satisfied with
Rouvier's assurances that France will
adopt every possible means to assist
her ally to reach a satisfactory ar
rangement. The friendly relations OF
the French Government with Great
Britain will undoubtedly play promi-
nent part when the period for a direct
exchange Of Vows begins. 1t is he.
lieyed that this was the chief point
discussed during the conversation al
the Quai D'Orsay. but until the lines
IRE defined on which the negotiations
will be conducted France can only
promise to use her influence for the
hest interests Of her ally.
Until now, both parties have sue
cecded in keeping their respective pro,
grams from publicity, and the asser'
lions emanating from various quar-,
tiers purporting TO specify the claim,
OF each side are purely speculative
The universal desire here Is that the
result Of the conference will be a ces.
sation OF hostilities, while the hope Is
expressed that Russia will he able u
find an issue from her awkward stu,
alton without sacrificing her national
celf-respact.

The truth was out at last, and tho
Mayor hurried away. Later he issued
an order to the effect that the only
bathing suits allowed on the beach
would be those Of non-transparent ma
terial, cut to a proper length.
