Ricksnaws and Dandies.

In the mountain districts of India the principal vehicles of passenger conveyance are the rickshaw and the dandy, with which Rudyard Kipling has made us familiar. The rickshaw
 s pushed and pulled through the streets and on the roads leading out Into the country by four coolies, and the dandy is carried on the shoul ders of four and sometimes six eooles, Saddle ponies are also used to some ex. tent, but most of the inhabitants and quite all visitors use the rickshaw and dandy. The latter is constructed on the plan of sleigh box, but longer. A pole Is attached fore and aft, which is long enough to give springy motion when the coolies are walking and trot- ting. A crosspiece rests on the shoul- 1ers of the coolies and Is shifted uow and then from one shoulder to the oth- er for rest. By the command of the cooly in charge this shift is made si- multaneously.

Castle Garden.

Castle Garden was built by the Unit ed States in 1907 from the plans of Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Williams, Q. B., and was called Fort Clinton. In 1922 it was ceded to New York city. In 1924 1t became a place of amusement and about 1925 got the name of Castle Garden. In 1S45 there were Ethiopian minstrels there, in 1847-49 theatrical companies played there, and in 1850 Jenny Lind sang there. In 1855 1t was closed as a place of amusement, and he commissioners of immigration took It as an immigrant depot. In 1870 it suffered from fire, and on July 9, 1876. k was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt at once. In 1892 the depot was moved to Ellis island, and Castle Gar len reverted to the city, which in 1898 opened an aquarium there.

A Curious Widows Cap.

A very curious cap forms the "wid- ow's weeds" of the Australia aborigine in one part of the great island conti- nent. Near the northeast bend of the Murray river 1t Is the custom for wid- ows to attend upon the tombs of their departed lords. Then, after shaving their heads. they cover them with pipe clay, kneaded into a paste. The head Is first covered with net to prevent the clay from sticking too tightly to the skin-a misfortune which Is partly ayerted by the amount of grease with which every Australian native is anoint- ed. A layer of this clay several inches in thickness is plastered over the head and when dry forms sort of skull cap exactly fitting the head on which 1t was nodded. As 1t weighs several pounds, the widows cap cannot be comfortable.

London 1heatera Charm.

One of the delicious treats London offers Americans Is the acting and ac- cessories of her theaters. The or chestra stalls or balcony stalls are very sumptuous and very roomy and are evidently created on purpose to ap- peal to hearty diners. The usher Is very tidy young woman in black dress and coquettish cap and apron, pos sessed of a sweet face and a still sweet CT voice. You pay her sixpence for each programme. The stage settings are perfect in detail. Best of all is the elocution of the players. From the rising of the curtain even unto the go- ing down of the same, each and every word uttered Is as clear and tuneful as the tinkle of silver bell. You don't have to wait till the middle of the first act before you can even guess what the plot is about. Under these unusual circumstances the interest one takes in
 play is greatly enhanced, and he
 wonders why an American company Is
 pt as well drllled.-Travel Magazine

BEAUTIFYING WALKS.
Easy Way to Make Garden Path At-
 tractive,

In my little garden on city street the straight walk that led from the gate to the front stoop looked hope lessly unattractive-just straight ce- ment path with the grass on each side, writes correspondent of the Cleve- land Plain Dealer. Ten cents worth of nasturtium seeds changed it so much that 1t changed the appearance of the whole garden.
 1 used the many colored dwarf vari- ety. It grows literally of itself. Plant tue seeds in shallow holes, water well, and the plant does the rest. It is prac- tically free from Insect enemies, and a few plants will produce blossoms enough to supply the house daily for the season. A pretty way to use them for table decoration is to cut them off short and float them on shallow glass dish or even saucer. This way they make a dainty little bed of yeliows. cinnamons, maroons and orange in the center of the table.

The Reason Was Plain.

There was woman." said a law. E, "whose husband was killed in @ UrQad accident. The railroad, to 8YpId suit, gave her $5,00O damages. The sum satisfied the woman, but a month or two afterward. taking up a Newspaper, she read about man who nd lost his leg in the same accident, Ind, behold, this man was given by the company damages to the amount of $7.fOO. It made the woman mad. She hasteped at once to the office of the railways claim adjuster. She said bitterly:
 ,"'How is this? Here you give a
 n $7,50O for the loss of his leg,
 He you only gave me $5,OOO for the
 of my husband
 The claim adjuster smiled Emiably
 said in q soothing voice:
 Madam, the reason is quite plain. The $7,5O0 won't provide the poor man with a new leg, whereas with your $5,OO0 you can easily get new husband and perhaps better one.' .'"- Kansas City Star.

Weather Vanes.

The best weather vanes are made with the greatest nicety and precision. so that they balance perfectly and turn with the least possible wear. The vane Is, of course longer on one side of the socket than on the other, or 1t would not turn with the wind, but It's weight Is the same on both sides. Ii 1t is a narrow vane, for instance, the weight of the solid head is easily made )qual to that of the longer, projecting, but thinner feather end. and all yanes, whatever they may be. are balanced IS to weight and so adjusted that they turn easily and with the least possible friction.

Why Age Improves Wines.

'Why do wines improve with ageW
 Because they marry" answered the expert.
 Marry"
 "Yes. That is the term used In the trade. This sherry we say, has mar ried we'll or that hook has married hastily We mean by wines mar riage that it's different components- the alcohol, the sugar, the carbonic acid and so on-have blended together smoothly In new wine this blend- ing, this marriage, has not yet taken place, and hence the harshness of new wines. Old wines are valued because the alcohol and sugar and acids and others have all married together into one fragrant compound. ."-Exchange.
