A FASHION FROM WAR.
How Flat Watches Took Place of the
 old-Time "Turnlps."

When the neat man takes unto him. self a watch as thin as parchment he little thinks that that thin watch re- suits from army regulations. Up to the time of the Allies taking Paris the ordinary watch was convex in shape and called from its outline a "turnip." The officers of the Russian and other armies objected to this be- cause its bulbous form made the uni form of a man on parade look untidy. whether it were carried in the coat or the fob. Here in Paris. however. they found that the vatchmakers of the Palais Royal had contrived a chro- nometer which got over the difl- culty. Flat watches were the fashion in Paris. The English when they ap- peared in the streets. of the French capital marched in not in gala dress such as the others wore. but in the raiment which they had vorn on cam peign- Great was the impression which their habIliments created But they at once adopted the smart fiat watch and brought it back to England for our own manufacturers to copy.- London Standard

MUSIC IN THE TYRoL.
Peculiar Charm of Concerts as Given
 by the Peasants.

There is a slow. rising scale from the simplest summer music to the splendor of the Ring Bayreuth, or still higher, to an occasional Mozart fest at Salzburg. writes a musician on his European holiday jaunt. Somewhere near the humblest beginnings. and yet with real interest all their own, are the small village concerts in the Bavarian Tyrol. Taking a supper at the rough tables in the open air, in the midst of peasant gayety and the pretty colors of the costumes, we look, admiring, at the group of performers, sitting at a raised table, adorned in the full glory of the national dress feathers in the cap, brilliant waistcoat, trousers that leave a gap below the knee. One of the men plays the zither to the others singing in a certain mar row round of harmonies that seem to fit all the songs. For these vary real ly only in rhythm. Or the singers will produce hidden violins and a trumpet and have suddenly changed into a band. However simple the music, there is always the old charm of the Tyrolese intervals and folksong.

Huuo's Beautiful Faith.

Victor Hugo's confession of faith is going the rounds of the magazines and papers and is as follows: Just as the rays of the moon lose the fig ure of the sun and bring to us. in stead of its image. a certain aspect of the medium through which they pass. so the idea of God. reflected by religions and proceeding from them. loses. so to speak, the form of God and takes on the more or less mis- erable confgurations of the human brain. In religion. put God above dogma If I were sure that this grave statement would be heard and understood seriously. would say that I am of all religions. believe in the God of all men. I believe in the love Of all hearts. believe in the truth of all souls"

Keep, Cold Cold and Hot Hot.

Among the recent novelties of in- vention is a thermos flask. which comes from England. and this article has the faculty of keeping cold things at an icy point for a long time and re- taining the temperature of such things as hot beverages for ah astonishing period-the inventor says for weeks.
 The device consists of bottle which has been thoroughly insulated by a covering of mineral material with an outer casing. This protection is said to be perfect, and that a tempera- tur~ either high or low may be main. tained without perceptible diminua. ticn.
 The flask Is made in pint and quart sizes. and the invention will undoubt- ydiy be found of value to invalids and

SOUTH AFRICAN ROAD
BIG RAILWAY BUILDING PROJECT Z. BEING PUSHED.
Will Tap the Rich Copper Deposits Round About katanga in the Central Part of the Dark
 Continent.

Rapidly Africa is yielding the iron embrace of the steely highways, along which rapidly moves the commercial and industrial possibilities of new country. Explorations project rail- roads to fortune in opening up the physical resources. Such it is ex- pected will prove the Benguella-Katan- ga railway in Central Africa, which will tap the country about Katanga, where are to be found rich copper deposits. It can be readily seen by glance at the map that this new line, after starting from Lobito bay and running for neasIy 1000 miles direct ly inland to katanga, can there be linked up with the Cape to Cairo sys- tenn, and, when so completed, it will form new and more expeditions route to the Rand, besides joining Pretoria and Johannesburg to Cape Town. Hence it follows that this railway scheme will play an important part in the future prosperity of the TransVaal and Orange river colonies, while it will bring Pretoria five CT six

CAUGHT THE FAIR cuLPRiT.
How the Naval Officer Recovered His Lost Buttons.

It happened on one of the United States cruisers now at Hampton roads, says the Washington Herald. A lieu tenant, having met two very charming ladies while ashore, invited them on board for luncheon. They came and were shown over the ship. They lin- gered long in the lieutenant's room, which was daintily furnished. and they admired his photographs of home. When he was summoned on deck be left them there. Returning. he took them to luncheon and, having to go on duty in the afternoon. he excused him. self so as to get into uniform. Alas! he found that every button on his best coat had been cut off and then he re- membered that one of his fair guests has been rather importunate on the souvenir question. He got her alone after luncheon and accused her of the theft and aftepsome prevarication she confessed that the buttons were in her corsage. With some firmness the lieu tenant led the culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to the denuded coat on the bunk. produced needle and thread and. going out. locked the door on the outside. In half an hour he returned, unlocked the door. found that his coat was once more in excel lent order and then, with great gal lantry. bowed the lady over the side. She has not been invited to luncheon on the same ship since.

present building 1t is usual to accom-. modate in this manner about 300 men, women and children every night.
 In order to carry on this work 50 persons are employed, IT of whom arc paid, B unpaid. It Is expected that some of those who stay over night will finger in the morning and help clean up. but they often resent the idea, 1t is said. The city of New York appropriates s25,Ooo per annum to this work. which is not much, con- sidering its importance.
 But a better time is coming. The city has authorized the erection of . building in East Twenty-hfth street. near the river. which will cost about s450,000. It will have capacity for FPS persons. and separate living rooms for its employes-a feature lacking in the present quarters. It probably will be ready for occupancy in 1908.
 There are several incidental mat ters connected with this charity which  are worth observing.
 It undertakes to find employment for its inmates in the city depart ments or on the outside.
 It discourages the needy from out of town in favor of the homeless city man or woman. The woodward for the roadster and the island for the fake-that is the rule.
 The average years of the inmates r show that the women who seek aid are older than the men. The average for the women on one night recently was 53 years. The oldest woman was so and she had been there before.
 Yes. the homeless may come more than once. The rule Is not more than three nights in one month. but that is helped out by the woodward. where for three hours chopping another nights lodging and more food may bs had.
