The state Of dreaming has at all times

Taking Advantage of Nature.

OF all the places in New York where
they rob you with a zest and ana

that deserves TO stand at the head of
the list is a stationery store that has
been fitted up in an alcove of a big
Broadway restaurant. In there they
charge two prices for most newspapers
and some magazines. The funny part
Of it is that not twenty feet away are two

whether of the daily, weekly, or monthly
variety, is obtainable at the usual rates.

WONDERFUL NECKLACES.

The most costly necklace in the world,

Countess Henckel, a lady well known in
London and Paris society, the value Of
which is said 10 be $2500l0. II is really
composed Of three necklaces, each Of his
toric interest. one was the property OF
the ex-Queen of Naples, sister Of the late
Austrian Empress; the second, once the
property Of a Spanish grandee, while the
third was formerly owned by the Empress
Eugene. Not long ago a necklace com

Distilled water is that which has been
condensed from steam, and thus freed
from all impurities. II is vapid to the
taste but holds all the properties of pure
water. It could be secured at home, but
would entail much trouble. A possible
but rather inconvenIent way would be to
ht a funnel over a boiling tea kettle in
such a way that all steam would pass
out Of the small end Of the funnel To
this end might be attached a coil of lead
pipe. and this coil should be packed in ice
to condense the steam. If there was no
leakage of steam, distilled water would
soon drip from the end of the coil.

Novel Warehouse at Yakima.

North Yakima, Wash. Another

tracks west of the city. The new adj
dition is the concrete building OF the
Yakima Transfer company, now
naring completion. 1t will be occu-

This building is unusual in that 1t
was built from its own cellar. That
is, the workmen dug a cellar, and
mixing the sand and gravel thus OBJ
tanned with cement transformed II
into concrete and made of this the
walls of the warehouse. 1t Is prob
ably, for this reason, the most eco
