Miniature Air Drill.

The pneumatic tool in it's various
forms has become so universal nova
days that one is constrained to be-
lieve it's day Of novelty is over, and
that the field Of application has been
thoroughly defined. However, one of
the large makers has discovered a de-

size of which Is NJ larger than a

midget, which weighs two and a half
pounds, and which is modelled after
the design of the larger tools, Is ex-
tremely powerful relatively, being Ca

Frederick the Great and Forestry.

Long before serious inroads had
been made upon the forests of Amer
lea Europe had been compelled to
adopt a definite policy of forest pres
ervation and cultivation. Some of
the forest laws OF the German States
date back to 1547, but it was left for
the genius of Frederick the Great to
devise a code of general application.
He outlined the German forestry
laws in 1740, decreeing that the for
ests should have seventy years OF
growth before they were felled, and
dividing the State forests into blocks
which should be cut in rotation. He
prohibited the wasteful destruction
of even private forests. From his
regulations was evolved the elaborate
system Of s~ylviculture practiced in
most of the European States, under
which forest renewals made to keep
pace with depletion, and the product
yields an annual evenue Of many
millions of dollars.-Toronto Globe.

plisse ribbon. All the materials that
are suited to waists and to afternoon
dresses are appropriate, however, the
model serving both purposes equally
well.
The waist is made with a fitted lin
ing that is closed at the centre front,
and consists Of fronts and back with
the trimming portions, the edges Of
which are arranged under the pleats.
The back portion of the chemisette
Is faced onto the lining, but the front
Is separate and joined to the waist,
the closing being made invisibly at
the left side beneath the pleat. The
sleeves are full puffs, and when long
ones are used the Innings r faced
to form the cuffs.
The Quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-fourth yards t~wenty-one, three
and one-fourth yards twenty-seven,
or one and seven-eighth yards forty
four inches wide, with one-half yard
of all-over lace, three and one-fourth
yards Of plisse ribbon for frills, seven
yards Of banding, one yard of all-over

Musquash the Modish.

Musquash is finding great favor
for millinery as well as coats, its
soft natural hue being essentially be-
coming-perhaps more so than any
pelt after sable. A very smart wom-
an of my acquaintance has just Sc
cured a magnificent coat Of natural
musquash lined through with squir-
rel, with muff and toque to match.
The toque is a tricorne swathed
with soft brown tulle and adorned
with a smart cluster of bronze wings.
Some do not fancy this fur, think
ing it but a cheap substitute (sug-
gestive of imitations) for sable. Such
is not the case. Musquash is the In
dian name for muskrat.

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble For People With
Weak Intestinal Digestion.

A lady in a Wis. town employed a
physician, who instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness, and
she certainly was a sick woman.
"In the year 1887 1 gave out from
over work, and until 1901 I remained
an invalid in bed a great part Of the
time. Had different doctors, but
nothing seemed to help. I suffered
from cerebro-spina1 congestion, te-
male trouble and serious stomach
and bowel trouble. My husband
called a new doctor, and after having
gone without any food. for 10 days
the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for
me. 1 could eat the new food from
the very first m%outhf"l. The doctor
kept me on Grape-Nuls, and the only
medicine was a little glycerine to heal
the alimentary canal.

me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. l got

A Manchu Banner woman, married
to an English officer Of Gordon's
army, which suppressed the TAPPING
rebellion, announced anonymously to-
day that she has made claim to the
throne of China.
Unwilling to make public her name
lest relatives be as~sassinated in Pc
kin she has sent petitions to the
British Government asking that her
claim be taken up with China.
She says she is a direct lineal de-
scendant Of the third Duke Of Chou,
and as such asserts that her right to
the throne of China is prior to that OF
the Empress Dowager.
With her husband and family she
has been living in Victoria for twen-

FLOWERS.
EIectroplating the Most Delicate and
Fragile Objects.


The American Consult General in
Brussels sends to Washington a de-
scription of a new art which has been
developed in that city. Many at
tempts have been made to reproduce
the forms of flowers, lace and other
delicate objects by applying a cover
Ing of metal to them. Some OF these
endeavors date back more than forty
years, but until recently none of them
have been very successful. In the
one here referred to a deposit of cop
per is made by the process of electro
plating. Whenever bronze or brass
was tried, more or less trouble was
experienced, probably because those
metals are alloys, and in an electro
plating bath they would be split up
into their original constituents. 1t is
doubtful if any known alloy can be
employed successfully in this way
Even in the use of pure copper there
has evidently been a need OF original
invention, for the Consul-General
says that a part of the process now
IN service in Brussels Is still a secret.
What the inventors have sought to
accomplish is to secure, at much less
chan the cos. CO cas-: bronze, perfect
Imitation of the shape of flowers,
leaves. insects and fruits. The sub
iects selected for metallizing are gen.
orally we'll known works of famous
artists, objects for decorative pur-
poses, and artistic objects, such as
card and ash receivers and picture
frames. The length of time during
which immersion of the models in the
electroplating BATHS necessary varies
from twenty-four to seventy-two
hours.
