that the public, the press, and the crit.

result, says Success Magazine, he
wrote "Binley and 46." to which he
signed F. Bret Harte's name The
fake was put out in a publication
known as THE Open Letter" 1t de-
scribed an engineer who took his train

FIRST OF THE cAAUFFEURs
Terrorized the Ruralites
of France.

Chauffeurs 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, fan astically dressed men with
their faces blackened with SCOT and
their eyes carefully concealed. @ho
gained admittance to farmhouses and
other isolated dwellings at night and
committed all kinds of depredations
and outrages. 4f
They had an outrageous habit espe-
cially from which they obtained the
name that posterity has preserved for
them. They first garoted their vic
tins, and dragged them in front of a
great fire, where they burned the soles
of their feet. Then they demanded of
them where their money and Jewels
were concealed. Such interrogatories
could scarcely be resisted
1t is from this that is derived the
appellation of chauffeur. which o:ice
SO terrified old ladies. but which at
present evolxes in us only cheerful and
pleasing thoughts of automobilism and
of voyages and excursions at % and 80
miles an hour. in which there is notlI-
ing but the roads and paved streets

BITS FOR BACHELORS.

Many men think themselves self
made who are really marriage-made.
The man who avoids matrimony or
account of the cares of welded life
rivals the wiseacre who secured him
self against corns by having his legs
amputated.
Don't marry for beauty alone. Soc
rates called beauty "a short-lived tyr
amy" and Theophrastus pronounced
1t "a silent cheat" The man who
marries for beauty alone Is as silly
as the man who would buy house be-
cause 1t had fine flowers in the front
garden.
1t is in life as It is with a kite; 1t
will not fly very high until it has a
string tying 1t down. And so the man
who is tied down By half a dozen re-
sponsibilities and their mother will
make a higher and stronger fight than
the bachelor who. having nothing to
keep him steady, is always floundering
in the mud.

Sentenced to Servitude.

Two hundred years ago. when men
and women were condemned to death
for trivial offenses. it was the custom
in Scotland to commute the death
sentences into perpetual servitude to
specified masters-in other words. The
condemned person became a slave. II
was further ordained that he should
wear metal collar round his neck
recording his sentence and punish
ment. The Society of Scottish Anti
quaries owns one af these collars
fished out of the Forth above Alloa.
1t is of brass, with this inscription:
Alexander Stewart, found guilty of
death for theft at Perth, 5th Decep-
ber, 170l. and gifted by the Justiciays
as a perpetual servant to Sir Jo,r,

MODERN TRANSPORTATION.
Problem That Has Taxed the Inven-
tiveness of the smartest
Men of the Age.

Kip!ing has drawn a picture vibrat
ing with movement and color. fairly
pulsating with the essence of human
life, when he describes in Kim tho
great trunk road of India. Thousands
Of bare or sandaled feet polished tho
stones Of the footways that converged
at city gates the endless grinding OF
the roughshod wheels wore deep and
everlasting ruts In the stone pave
ments. Yet not SO many people, in
month of 80 days, entered or lett
any OF the old walled capitals OF
Greece, or Rome, or India tthat, like
our modern populous centers, depend
ed for their very life on the outside
country as now. between sunrise
and sunset. hurl themselves back and
forth, in and out of New York alone.
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 and
out. The same unvarying number Of
footsteps have brought them to their
homes and Offices. The same unvary-
ing revolutions of whirling wheels
have carried them from the journeys
beginning to its end. Far above the
level of the roofs of the dwelling
houses We have built great cities, peo-
pied by transients. The metropolis Is
like the feeding ground of great
migratory focks who come in the
morning to pick up their living, to fill
their mouths and fill their pouches.
and retire at night to their home
nests and roosting places.

FISH TERROR TO FROGS.
One of Gold Variety Will Not Per-
NIT Single Hopper in
His Pond.

A gold fish which has run amuck Is
one of the curiosities of New Brighton,
Pa. One of the residents has orna-
mented his grounds with number of
small ponds, in which he grows water
lilies and keeps gold fish.
One pond in particular. says Outing,
is inhabited by a single gold fish, a
large black one, about three years old.
This lonely hermit has taken great
dislike to the small frogs which swarm
in all the pools at this time of year.
and will not permit single frog to
come into his pond.
The moment frog jumps in the
fish attacks 1t. lashing the water with
his tail, butting the frog with his head
until he drives 1t out. The frogs
swim about in dazed way and finally
climb out.
Almost any evening a number of dis
consolate little frogs can be seen sit
ting in a row on the brick edge OF
the pond, desiring but not daring to
! jump in.
The fish lately has become such an
autocrat that he will not permit a
frog even to hang a foot in the water
working himself into such a frenzy
lashing about and leaping out of the
water. that the frogs withdraw in
fright and bewilderment. The Incl
dent is both amusing and pathetic, de
pending on whether viewed from the
point of observation of a spectator OF
a frog.

DIETARY pICTA.

Dinner should be of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel of cucumbers.
There is happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as 13 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 assimilating
q hearty meal.

TURBINE A SAVER OF COAL
Economy Effected by the New Ma
rine Engines Has Been
Amply Shown.

Though the owners and builders OF
steamships have only recently come to
realize that the turbine requires less
steam and hence less fuel than the
reciprocating engine. 1t is now evil
dent, says the New York Tribune, that
indications OF this fact were discover
able five or six years ago. In the ex-
perience CT the torpedo boat destroy
ers Cobra and Viper on which the
Parsons engine had its first real trial,
there was probably no sign of 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 a paper read before Liver
pool engineering society a few days
ago 1t appears that the King Edward
demonstrated its ability to travel
farther with the same allowance of
coal than a 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
Queen Alexandra fully . miles. What
is more, the two turbine steamers
travel faster than their rival. The
difference in fuel consumption be-
tween the first channel boat having
turbines and the best paddle-wheel
steamer running on the same route
was extraordinary and 1t looks now
as II 1t was exceptional also. The
old vessel travelled more slowly than
the new one. yet 1t 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 a measure. no doubt, this
quality was overwhelmed by the in
crease In speed which the Parsons en-
gine made feasible. Again. there
might have been doubt about the
justice of assigning all of the gain
effected to the engine and not credit
ing the screw propeller, which was
substituted for paddle wheels. with
hny share of 1t. A much more sig
nificant comparison was possible when
the British admiralty tried the two
styles of engine on cruisers having
not only the same model. displacement
and boiler capacity but also the same
mechanism for utilizing the power
generated.
