Tobacco Smoke Scared Deer.

A new way of preventing deer from
doing damage to holding has been
adopted by the occupier of Haddon
Farm, in the heart of the Devon and
Somerset staghound country.
Disearding the use of tarred ropes
and other strong smelling materials
in fences, he walks through his turnip
fields two or three times a night,
smoking a strong pipe, the smell of
which, he says. frightens the deer
away. Before be adopted this device
his farm used to be visited by scores
or deer nightly.-London Evening

SIMPLE CLOTHES FOR SARAH.
5ernhardt No Longer SweIIs the cof-
fers of Dressmakers.

Bernhardt No Longer SweIls the Cof-
fers of Dressmakers.
One of the reasons why Sarah
Bernhard received Catulle Mendes's
play with delight was that it liberated
her from all necessity to throw away
a fortune on clothes. When she
makes a tour in the provinces or
abroad to appear as Saint Theresa
her costumes will almost fit in a va
lise.
For a similar reason she gladly ac
cepted ''L'Aiglon" and ''Werther."
She had grown very sick of paying
bloated bills to dressmabers and took
refuge from them in third sex imper-
sonations
Yes, declares London Truth, Sarah
Bernhard has her taste purified by
experience, is independent of the
tricks of the dressmaking trades and
has come back to the sweet and holy
simplicity of the classical age.
At her place in Belle Isle, off the
coast of Brittany, Sarah Bernhard
follows the aboriginal women in wear
ing clothes adapted to the wet climate
and rough, rocky coast. The exper-
fence of ages has taught her poorer
neighbors what to wear. She has not
a dozen bourgeois near her.
AS the great actress has not Bre-
ton face or figure and need not sell
fish or gather seaweed for manure,
she has modified the costume of the
Belle Isloise to suit herself. The
daughter of the avoue of the only port
in the island provides her with pat
terms for embroidered borders and
other garnituFes, which are sent to
Paris to be done in colors.
Sarah Bernhard does not spend
200 francs on clothes in the whole
of a Belle Isle season. If she went
to a fashionable watering place and
there either sought to lead or to fol-
low the fashions she would return to
Paris many thousand francs the poor
| er.
Her young friend at Belle Isle has
provided her with a costume Powered
and otherwise adorned with real sea-
weeds. They are first dried fiat as If
| for an album and then arranged in
| decorative patterns.

Railroads Elevate 1900 Miles of Track
in chicauo

The railroads of the country are
spending one hundred million dollars
to make the streets of Chicago safe,
says Rutledge Rutherford in the Tech
meal World. On an average five
hundred people year are run over
by passing trains or are injured in
collisions with steam locomotives
while using Chicago's streets.
Ten years ago Chicago decided that
the elevation of all steam railway
tracks was the only means of pro
tecting her citizens from the deadly
grade crossings. Now the railroads
are footing the bill.
Last year more than $4,000 men
were employed in the work of eleyat'
ing the tracks, and it cost the rail

HOW SpIKER
WON THE PRIZE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

This story has several morals. Also,
it has three heroes, heroine, an
eccentric philanthropist and score
OF supernumeraries of too little I'M
portance. so far as this incident is
concerned, TO be mentioned by name.
The heroes are: Mr.. Swallow, MIR.
Spilkington and Mr.. Spiker; the hero
inc is. or was, Miss Honeygarde; the
eccentric philanthropist is Mr., Will
son. So much for the introduction;
now for the story:
Swallow, Spilkington and Spiker
work for Mr. Wilson. On the 4th day
Of January last the three young men
held an important interview with
their employer
"What do YOU want?' said Wilson to
Swallow
"a raise" said Swallow.
"And you?" to Spilkington.
"a raise
"And your" to Spiker.
"a raise

than that. We want $780,
'Too much" said Wilson. "Stil,

sudden. We must have time to think"
They retired into an adjoining room
and thought. After due elaboration
they reported their decision.
"Sir," said they, 1--WE refuse to &C.

twenty-five dollars week, according
to our calculation, will go further for
one than $50 for two. We prefer posi-
tive to potential evils. We will not
get married"
Then Swallow. Spilkington and
Spiker went back to their desks and
continued to work for $25 a week,
always bearing in mind the opportun-
ity for advancement should they care
to purchase promotion at such a cost.
Swallow, Spilkington and Spiker are
good friends. Usually they lunch to-
gether. Last Monday that amicable
arrangement would have been salts
factory to Swallow and Spilkington,
but when they got ready to leave the
Office and looked around for Spiker
they found he had already gone. They
saw him at the restaurant, but they
did not join him. Spiker was not
alone. Miss Honeygarde sat opposite.
Miss Honeygarde beamed upon Spiker
and Spiker beamed upon her. They
were happy. Swallow and Spilkington
were not happy; they were envious.
"Ungrateful dog said Swallow. $50
that's why he left us? He has treated
us most shabbily. But Wen get even.
Well have revenge"
He called the waitress.

friend over there? Well, he has de-
serted us. He's married"
''Married?" cried Della. "S1re?"
Sure" said Swallow. Married last
night. My friend and were at the
wedding. Weren't we, Dick?"
''uh-huh." said Spilkington.
"You don't say" said Della. WAS
