FIRST OF THE CHAUFFEURS
Were Men Who in Fantastic Gsrb
Terrorized the Ruralites
of France.

Chaureurs existed long before there
were automobiles.
History tells us that along about The
year 1895 there sprang up in France.
principally In the eastern and central
regions. an'astically dressed men with
their faces blackcned with SCOT and
their eyes carefully concealed, Sho
gained admittance TO farmhouses and
other isolated dwellings at night End
committed all kinds OF depredatlons
and outragcs.
They had an outrageous habit espe.
cially. from which they obtained the
name that postcrity has preserved for
them. They first garoted their vic.
tins. and dragged them In front OF n
great FIRE. where they burned the soles
OF their feet. Then they demanded OF
them where their money and Jewels
were concealed. Such intcrrogatorIes
could scarcely be resisted.
II IS from this that Is derived the
appgllation of chauffeur. which oace
so terrified old ladies'. but which at
present evokes in us only cheerful and
pleasing thoughts OF automobilism and
OF voyages and excursions at % and 30
miles an hour. In which there Is Meth.

BITS FOR BACHELORS.

Many men think themselves SELF
made who are really marriage-made'
The man who avoids matrimony on
account OF the cares Of welded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured HIM
self against coras by having his legs
amputatcd.
Don't marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty "a short'lived tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
II "a silent cheat" The man who
marrics for beauty alone is as silly
as the man who would buy house be-
cause II had fine flowers In the front
garden.
II is in life as IT is with kite; II
will not fy very high until II has
string tying It down. And so the man
who is tied down by half dozen re-
sponslb!lities and their mother Will
make a higher and stronger fight than
the bachelor who having nothing to
keep him steady. is always fiounderins

DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be of lighter nature
In summer than In winter.
A quart OF wheat contains more nu.
triment than bushel OF cucumbers.
There is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds OF potatoes contain as
much nutriment as l3 pounds Of
turnips.
Light soups. light desserts and light
meals should have the preference In
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are TO be used
most generously at that season OF the
year In which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatinx

says the Metropolitan Magazine.
Transportation is the problem; the
ways along which people can move
and the means to move them are the
great questions of the hour. and all
roads lead to town.
We have tunneled beneath the
ground and the river: we have thrown
great flying arches over our inter
veninG waterways: we have net
worked the surrounding country with
lines of humming trolleys. and the
ferry boats swing with the regularity
OF pendulums from pier TO pier. In
coming or outgoing armies of men
spend large fractions of their lives
upon the road. They have Travelled
many times the distance to the moon
and back. The faithful servants, cleo
tricity and steam. fetch them in ana

footsteps have brought them TO their

TURBINE a SAVER oF COAL
Economy Effected by the New Ma-
.rine Engines Has Been
Amply Shown.

Though the owners and builders oi
steamships have only recently come to
realize that the turbine requires less
steam and hence less fuel than the
reciprocating engine. II Is now owl
dent. says the New York Tribune. that
indications OF this fact were discover
able five or six years ago In the ex'
perience of the torpedo boat destroy
ers Cobra and Viper, on which the
Parsons engine had its first real trial.
there was probably no sign or econ
omy. Then came in successive years
two river boats for service on the
Clyde. the King Edward and the
Queen Alexandra. and ferry boat de-
signed to cross the English channel.
From paper read before Liver
pool engineering society few days
ago II appears that the King Edward
demonstrated its ability to travel
farther with the same allowance OF
coal than n boat Of the same size
which had paddle wheels and recipro-
eating engines. The sidewheel craft
now gets 7.73 miles out of ton OF
coal. the King Edward SO and the

Is more. the two turbine steamers
travel faster than their rival. The
difference In fuel consumption be-
tween the first channel boat having
turbines aud the best paddle-whecl
steamer running on the same route
was extraordinary and 1t looks now
as II II was exceptional also. The
old vessel Travelled more slowly than
the new one. yet it required seven per
cent more fuel per mile.
At least two reasons can be sug
gested for the tardiness with which
the economy of the turbine was rec.
ognized. In n measure. no doubt this
quality was overwhelmed by the in
crease in speed which the Parsons on
gine made feasible. Again, there |
might have been a doubt about the 4

swim about in dazcd way and finally
climb out.
Almost any evening a number OF dis.
consulate little frogs can be- seen sit.

the pond. desiring but not daring to

The FISH lately has become such an
autocrat that he will not permit a
frog even TO hang foot in the water.
