SOME EXACT INroRMArroN N

Some who own automobiles don't dare to figure on the cost of them, but business Is business, and it is import ant to know what motor wagons cost to run. Some interesting statements have been made by w. A. Purer, super intendent of the delivery stations of the Chicago Public Library Over year ago when a gasolene delivery wagon was pun chased as an experiment MT. Purer estimated the expense for gaso- lene, heavy lubricant oil, etc, at $27 re- pairs at $2250, and tires at $15. The total cost for these items was thus es- tlmated at STA for twelve months. A gasolene car was purchased and put in- to use. The actual total cost for twelve months was $77976, or $5,76 more than the estimates. It was, however, a great deal cheaper than the horse service, for MT. Purer said that the work done by the motor car previously required two wagons and three horses, and that the expense was $10O greater per month. The cost of operating the motor car would have been considerably less had the gasolene and lubricants been bought in large quantities the first six months of the year, as they were the last six months. Tn the former period the cost of these items was at the rate of $S6,50 per month, while in the latter period the cost was only $29 per month, or $135O less. The total cost of gasolene for the year was $357 the cost of re- pairs, s21LsO and the cost of tires, $2O4.96.
 One car covers about forty-eight and two others which the library is now us- ing about forty-two miles day Speaking of the cars, MT. Purer says: Since June 1, we have been doing the work with three machines that was formerly done with five wagons and twelve horses, and, in fact, the work is done better. This save $1S5 a month, which is at the rate of $2,22O per year, Moreover, all trips can be made by daylight, even in winter, a thing impos- sible with wagons. As a result the ser- vice is more satisfactory. Tn many ways our work is much more difficult than general delivery. We are required to make schedule time"

He lives in a palace sur rounded by walls and guards, with a mosque within the grounds He refuses to go into old Stamboul even once a year for worship, as his predecessor did, He has a guard about him by night which is paid $SS0 in gold every morning.

many interesting facts bearing upon theancient Celtic life have been disclos- ed The bodies were clothed in woolen coats, held together by pins, and by 8 girdle at the waist, and short woollen trousers were also worn, and possibly shoes though no remains of the latter have been found. Like the American Indian, tie ancient Celt was buried with his arms beside him, the sword at the right hand, the lance at the left and the shield placed lengthwise over the body. The arms seem to have been left naked, and were probably tattooed or covered with bracelets and orna- ments. The ornaments found indicate that some of the graves probably con tained Irish kings and nobles.

ARE THEY LIMITED ?

Are women even more like men than they have lately been suspected of be- ing? Anyhow, Margaret Hubbard Aver says that "the trouble with most of the women who are not succeeding is that they want to work at what they like and not at what they can do best. If they will try the latter, however, the result will eventually be the same. be- cause every one finally likes what brings them success, Another draw back to success is incompetency. Few women can do any one th1ng well. There are hundreds of dressmakers who think they can make dresses, and wonder why their trade is falling away. There are thousands of cooks who can- not cook and don't take the trouble to learn"
 If this is true it is being altogether too much like men. There are plenty of poor workmen. There should be no poor workwomen, for the accepted theory now is that women can do anything they like and do it surprisingly we'll Those women who know them best say there is no limit to their ability and ef- ficiency, and some believe they can even move mountains without faith.

The Passing of the Cali.

In days gone by, those happy days When all the world was slow, My lady oft, to while the time, A-visiting would go. Her dainty buckled shoes were donned And laced her gown so gay, With reticule of fancy work She went to spend the day. Then faster must have rolled the
 sphere,
 The days were o'er so soon! For bosom friend there could be found But one brief afternoon. The hours then increased their pace, Full swift by duties driven, And to her friend, though still beloved But minutes could be given. As years sped on and fleeting time Was filled with social care, She for confidential chat A single hour could spare. Till now, midst whirl of clubs and
 teas,
 When leisure is unknown, She takes the worn receiver down And calls her up by phone.

4 CHANCE FOR rE11oW MONEY.

While we are waiting for the yellow peril to strike us it will be well enough for us to make what money we can out of the yellow men. Special Agent Bur Till of the department of commerce and labor thinks United States dairymen and hortioulturalists can find some money in China. MT. Burrill cites the success of Australia in getting valua- able trade in China and says that an excellent opportunity is offered for ex- tending the export trade of the Pacific Coast by adding all kinds of fresh ma terials in refrigerator ships to the canned goods that are now sent out. There is in China a great demand for fresh butter, and the agent says that it is generally believed that an effort tointroduce this in large quantities from the United States, by vessels having great refrigerator capacity, would be very successful and profitable This market is now controlled by Australia, and the butter costs in Shanghai from 55 cents to 62 cents Mexican a pound. It is sold at a profit of from 10 to 15 per cent, the retail price being S5 cents Mexican. There are frequent complaints that the demand cannot be supplied. Australians are handling this trade in the most thorough manner, having large cold storage plants and ships with excellent refrigerating fa- eilities. Mir. Burrill says that it is ru-

A man may get into jail even if he is pretty good. The superintendent of a Methodist Sunday school in the City of Mexico recently spent three days in jail as a result of having in perfect good faith formally acknowledged the genu- ineness of the signature of a man whom he knew we'll. The instrument on which his acknowledgment appeared was used to draw money from bank, and it was shown that the signature was forged. The well-meaning super intendent was lodged in jail Saturday night, too late for his friends to do anything for him. Nothing could be done on Sunday, and the next day, Christmas, was legal holiday, so that it was late Tuesday afternoon before he was released.

Duels are necessary in the German army, says Chancellor von Buelow, and General von Einem, Minister of War, agrees with him. The educated classes fin Germany, say these high authori- ities, have taste for blood-letting, and duelling existed among them "as long as it was regarded as a means of restoring offended honor and the offi- cers' corps could not tolerate the pres- ence in It's ranks of member who was unwilling to re-establish his honor with a weapon in his hand" The govern ment will, it Is said, take measures to substitute some legal punishment for the duel where the honor of a gentle man and officer is needlessly assailed.
