AUTO DRIVEN BY AIR.

Consul General William II. Mi
chael of Calcutta reports that ex-
periments are being made in that
city with an air-pr9peller petrol
driven car.
The secret Of the mechanism lies
in the pattern Of the propeller. A
speed of Is miles an hour has been
attained on Calcutta roads with a
fve-horsepower engine. The alb
sence of wear on the tires is most
marked, and the motion is perfectly
smooth.
At present the invention is just
passing out of the experimental
stage, but it is anticipated that it
will shortly be possible to place cars

PROPHECIES OF BIG BEN.

Big Ben has been stopped three
times by snow freezing on the hands
and jamming them. A curious cpl
sode in its history took place in De-
cember, 1861, just before the prince
consort died, when, owing to the
failure of an experimental piece of
apparatus, the clock struck hum
bred or more strokes without stop
ping People who were unaware of
the cause saw in the occurrence an
omen of the great loss which shortly
afterward befell the nation. Another
sensational prank was played by the
clock on April 9, 1886, when it
stopped while Mr.. Gladstone was
making his famous speech in favor
of home rule for Ireland. This was
taken by some as an augury that the
bill would not pass, and as regards
the event the prophets were justified.

LAND LONG FORGOTTEN.

Bulgaria is sufficiently in the pub
tic eye lust now TO compensate her
for a total eclipse that lasted for
three or four centuries. Between the
obliteraton Of medieval Bulgaria by
the conquering Turk and her very
modern resurrection she disappeared
more completely than Poland ever
has. The very name of Bulgaria was
remembered only by the learned.
Sir Charles Eliot points out that in
journeying from Belgrade to Con-
stantinople in 1884 Kinglake must
have passed straight across Bulga-
ria. Yet, when describing his tray
els in "Eothen," he makes no allu-
sion to the country or its inhabi-
tants.

STANDARD TIME IN PERU.

Peru is the first of the South
American republics to adopt a world
time standard. The seventy-ffth
meridian vest of Greenwich has
been chosen. This, which is the ba-
sis of our eastern standard time,
runs through the middle of the re-
public only a few minutes of longi-
tude east of Lima. Hereafter all
timepieces in Peru will coincide with
those in the eastern United States.
There are said to be few countries
more favorably situated geographic
cally than Peru for the use of a
standard time meridian.-Youth's

PRESERVE HOME OF RALZAC
His Place of Refuge in Paris Turned
Into Museum for Souvenirs
of Writer.

Admirers of Balzac who come to
Paris will hereafter have an oppor-
tunity of visiting a museum special
ly devoted to souvenirs of the writer.
It consists of the quaint old house
and garden in the Rue Raynouard at
No. AZ, which he inhabited many
years and where he wrote a number
of his best works. Curiously enough,
the house recalls one of the most diff
fcult periods of his life, when, it is
said, he was hunted and prosecuted
by debtors to an alarming extent. He
selected the house, it is stated, pur-
posely as a sort of harbor of refuge
from duns. 1t has no direct entrance
from the Rue Raynouard, and one
has first to pass through the hall of
another house and 90 down two
flights of stairs to a courtyard below.
The house, which is a small building
and which the French would only
call a pavilion is entered from
this courtyard and has a little gar
den at the back. At one side of the
garden there is steep wall down the
side of the hill, giving the place the
appearance Of a little fortress.-Lon-

BOB EVANS BENEDlCTION.


Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
has been writing to his California
friends recently telling them how
much he has recovered in health and
expressing his thanks for the kind
ness he received while there. In a
letter to James Horsburgh, Jr., gen.
eral passenger agent of the Southern
Pacific, the admiral expressed the
felicitious wish:
"May you live with the rich here
and the poor hereafter"
Horsburgh says that this proves
that the admiral knows his Bible.

BED OF VIPER SKINS.

Few of India's "Rikki Tiki Ia

killing as that of Leon Case, known
as Pere la Vipere, who kills vipers in
the forest of Fontainebleau. He

arduous season, during which he has
killed nearly 700 snakes. His aver

FRENCH HOME LIFE SIMPLE
Extra Work Caused by Visitors, Com
mon in England and Ameri-
ca, Is Unknown There.

In England the proportion of men
10 women indoor servants is as one
0 three or four; in France the re-
yerse is the case, parlor maids being
unknown, the one femme de cham
bre being lady's maid as well as
housemaid. The housework-sweep-
ing, busting, etc.-mainly falls upon
the men servants.
One element entailing much extra
work for servants in England is abb
sent in a French house. This is the
staying guest, the succession of visi-
tors. Outside private hotels and in
the handsome flats of fashionable
quarters there is, indeed, no room in
Partisan households for friends. The
words dine and sleep or "wcek-
end visits have not found their way
into French dictionaries, nor have
dine and sleep weekend guests yet
become French institutions.
1t is easy thus to understand why
three or four servants suffice IN
France while in England dozen
would be needed for people of SINH
lar means and position, and where
three or four maids are kept in Eng
land only a general servant is kept
in France.-Home Life in France.

MAY BECOME A LOST ART.

Do women do as much preserving
and pickle making as in former
years? is matter of interest, and it
is probable that they do not. In the
years, when # was not possible to
get tropical fruit in the winter it
was necessary to preserve and pickle
home products. Now it is really
rot necessary and most physicians
agree that fresh fruit is much better
than that preserved with so much
sugar. Those who have a tendency
10 get fat should avoid preserves.

Such exercises as swaying the body
backward and forward, and from side

giving shapely lines to the hips, waist

HER DAUGHTER HAS NO USE FOR MEN

My Dear Margery Doom:
1 am a woman with three daughters,
and the oldest is very Stubborn about not
wanting to meet young men. She posi-
lively refuses to attend receptions or
afternoon affairs. She says people make
her tired and that she would rather
read. Her younger sisters feel awfully
about it, for whenever they go out peo-
pie ask where Marie. the oldest, is, and
when they answer hat she prefers To
stay at home, the people look peculiar.

If your daughter is not interested in
young men or social affairs, l am afraid
it would be a useless task for you To try
to cultivate in her a taste for them,
particularly if she is so fon of books.

her own way in this. BY the time a girl

SERVICEABLE GOWN OF BROADCLOTH

For good standby service and general
wear the model gown shown today in
our Illustration will prove of infinite
value to the well-dressed woman 1t is
of rich cinnamon-brown broadcloth. re-
lieved by touches of black satin and
of brown braid finely stitched.
Further detail is introduced on the
tichu corsage, which opens on a vest
of black and white stripe, cut decollete
below a yoke of Irish lace. A becoming
breadth is impaired to the shoulders by
bretelles of the cloth, ornamented with
strappings of black satin, n hung at
the outer edge with a tiny bob silk
fringe. The success of the model hangs
in a large measure on the artistic
-maneuvering of the detail. which never
becomes assertive to the blurring of a
good outline. This model may be Sue
eessfully carried out in broadcloth of
any desired color, shadow stripe or her
ring-bone serge or any of the light
weight fabrics. A touch of contrasting
color will add to the general appearance
of the costume.

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER

nOYS and girls. do you know what
an Indian party is? | think il
would just please some of you,
for l went to one the other day, AMI
we all had a perfectly jolly time. The
grown-ups had Just as good fun as the
youngsters, so you see all can enjoy
a pleasant evening if these instructions
are followed:
To begin with. everything is Indian.
Sheets of birch bark should be used
for your invitations, and you should
employ Indian characters in their
wording, such as the proper quarter
of the moon to represent the date (con-
suit your almanac), a wigwam to rep
resent the meeting place, and The
symbols of the hours to show the time
of meeting. Be sure to state that all
of the guests are expected to appear
in Indian costume.
This costume is very easily made.
Secure a gay-colored blanket and add
to it some turkey-red cotton stuff aud
several bright quilts. This, with a few
colored glass beads, will result in II
good "make-up." With a little change
a girl can be either a young Indian
maid or an old squaw. while the boys
can go as IL young brave or an old
chief.
The hostess should have wigwams.
a tripod and kettles set up, and should
serve her refreshments in Indian fash
ion, her guests being seated tailor
fashion on the floor.
To make the party more interesting,
a prize should be given to the child
whose costume vas voted to be the
best.
