Riggest Efouse on Earth.

A gigantic globe tower, the biggest
building In the world, is In course of
erection on Coney Island. 1t will be
700 feet high and 900 feet in circum-
ference. 1t will have eleven floors and
100000 square feet of floor space.
On these eleven floors there will be
all sorts of things to amuse Coney's
millions of summer visitors, but the
star feature of them all will be the
revolving restaurant and cafe, first Of
the kind In the world.
If you are facing north when your
oysters are served you will be looking
west for the soup and south when the
roast arrives. By the time the coffee
and cigars come on you will be be-
north again. In half an hour you q
have Travelled 900 feet around a gre
circle, or thirty feet minute. &
The ground foer will be an autona =
bile garage. just $50 feet above the
ground will be the pedestal roof gar
den, 900 feet in circumference. When
you get 250 feet In the air you will
come to the aerial hippodrome. Here
there will be continuous Touring
circus.
The main hall and revolving cafe will
be 300 feet above the ground, circling
around the great ball room. Another
fifty feet and you come to the palm gar
den in the air, third restaurant, stat
uary, fountains and cascades, a scenic
aerial railroad and all kinds OF novel;
ties. At 800 feet you come to the OBJ
servatory platform, fitted with tele-
scopes. At 600 feet will be stationed
the United States weather bureau and
wireless telegraph station.

Keepin~ Dresses Fresh.

One of the incest ways of keeping
dresses especially evening ones-fresh
is to sew throughout the lining tiny
perfumed silk sachets. Any odd bit of
silk does for this purpose. Make the sa-
chet about one inch square. Put in a
layer of soft white wadding. into which
has been sprinkled some sachet pow
der. Sew up and tack firmly to vari-
GUS places in skirt and bodice. This
gives the delicate elusive fragrance to
your frock which is rather hard to at
tain when liquid perfume is used. 1t
also has additional benefit of keeping
away destructive moths when the gar
ment Is laid aside for time.

A trained nurse mentions as among
the little things that help make an in
valid feel comfortable and rested the
frequent brushing of the hair and bath
ing Of the hands and face. II don't
know what 1t is, whether these actions
just divert the invalid's mind or really
do effect some physical change for the
better, but they certainly help the sick
one to get through the day. Eau de
cologne and the various toilet waters
are very refreshing when added to the
water or used independently. once
heard a man say that II he couldn't
both wash his hands and face and
comb his hair In the morning when he
got up he would choose to comb his
hair. 1t would wake him up better.
He felt something of the same sense
of physical comfort as the average
convalescent or invalid"

wladom's wise whispers.

Women abuse men merely to appear
original and independent.
A man Is at his best when he has
purpose in being agreeable.
Men dearly love to be referred to as
an authority on odd questions.
The man most austere In business is
usually most genial In private life.
A man talks about dress as though
he felt ashamed of the conversation.
Men want to be regarded as capable
Of pointing out the errors of others.
Few women have the capacity for
carrying dates and events in the mind.
Women like to talk OF the days when
they had beaux galore-even if they
never had them.
Every woman wants the world to
give to her the consideration she thinks
belongs to her sex.
When woman reaches command
Ing position she regards marriage as
the next best thing.

Silkier and more attractive than

Only Believe.

Be not downcast If difficulties sur.
round you in your heavenly life. They
may be purposely placed there by God
to train and discipline you for higher
developments of faith. If he calls you
to "toiling in rowing" 1t may be to
make you the better seaman, and to
lead you to holier trust in Him who
has the vessel and Its destinies In hand,
and who, amid gathering clouds and
darkened horizon, and crested pillows,
ever murmurs the mild rebuke to our
misgivings: Said not unto thee,
that If thou wouldst believe, thou
shouldst see the glory of Godr-Rev.

suffer discomfort for lack of these
things; but it has been observed that
"a home is not rightly governed and

New KIND Of Work for women.

Some genius has constructed ma

This machine is partly a phonograph,
through which the man talks, and his

there Is the consolation that it will take
women to make the parts of this ma
chine. and possibly the work will be
more congenial than the stenographic
work.

Christ the Friend.

The devout heart yearns after per-
sonal God. Its instructive desire Is for
a Father and Frlend-a loving ear
Into which its sorrows may be poured,
a loving heart on which its WEAKNESS
may rest. This deep-felt want Of our
natures Is most fully met In the per-
son of Jesus Christ. For here is One
whom, while we reverence and adore
as God, we ca nthink Of as clearly and
love as simply, trustingly, tenderly, as
the best known and loved of our earth
ly friends.-Rev. R. s. Medley.

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to en-.
ploy physician for every slight ailment
or injury that may occur in ais family,
nor can he afford to neglect them. as so
slight an injury as the scratch of a pin
has been known to cause the loss of a
limb. Hence every man must, from me-
cessity, be his own doctor for this class
of ailments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment, which can only be
had whom suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain's remedies have
