Enoineer,s Gift to Business Man.

We are told that this is an age of pro- gress we know it is an age to speed, to save time, to shorten processes, to eliminate unnecessary labor is the aim of almost every invention. This is espe- cially true in the realm of figures. It is for Tightening the labor of computa- tions that the slide rule was invented. So writes Darwin S. Hatch in the Tech nical World Magazine for March.
 A slide rule is an instrument about 10 inches in length and IA inches wide having in it's simple form, slide nov ing in a fixed base, both graduated on a logarithmic scale. With it, arithmeti- cal, algebraic and rigonometric calcula- tions may be performed mechanically, making it applicable to almost all forms of computation.
 Those who have a knowledge of the ca pabilities of the slide rule express sur prise that an instrument, which in such a degree combines accuracy of results with ease and rapidity of operation, should be shrouded in such deep mys- tery to the ordinary business man. To the engineer and student it has proved invaluable. At last the business world is beginning to awake to the capabili- ties of this little instrument. Its wide application Is being recognized with in- creasing rapidly in almost all branches of commerce and industry. Its great value appears in it's use in ordinary ev- cry day work. By it's use the drudgery of computation is avoided and the time and mental energy expended on mere ar ithmetical processes, found to be waste of effort.

PARIS HATS REACH
 HIGH WATER MAX
FRENCH MlLLINER ENJOYED SUCH PROSPEROUS YEAR THAT HE DISTRIBUTES $1a,ooo AMONG EMPLoYEs AS PRESENT.

Paris, March 21.-The most profitable business in Paris just now is that of the milliners. There is boom in hats, which have reached high-water mark in elabo- rateness and price, and the Parisian wo- man is so enamored of the present style in millinery that she will pay almost any thing for a chic model.
 One milnner has coined money to such an extent since last autumn that on New Year's Day she distributed sum of $1S,- UvJ in presents among her hands.
 Her leading employee draws a modest salary of $14OO0 year.
 The reason of the boom is the modern womans need not only for expensive hats, but for many of them. It appears that almost every hour of the day calls for | different hat.
 What is worn at tea party at a pri- Vate house will not do for tea in a tea shop. The hat that suits a classical pie- ture show would be hopelessly wrong for an impressionst exhibition.
 At concerts the milliner depends upon the programme, and there are Claude De- pussy hats, as there are Beethoven hats, and Richard Strauss hats, and hats for orchestral music, and hats for chamber music.
 There are also special hats for NJ. Jules Lemaitres lectures on Racine, now draw ing all Paris, and different hats for the different plays about which he lectures.
 As $50 is said to be a common price foI one of these harmonious hats, and $200 is not consIaered an absurd figure. the boom in the millinery trade is explained.

Passing of the Lurid Melodrama.

From the New ork World.
 An experienced New York manager declares that the knell is about to eound of the old-fashioned melodrama with it's sleek villain and it's lurld climaxes. Very probably he Is right The public taste is always changing. The old-time negro minstrel lost his vocation long ago and there were variety and concert-hall acts of a late generation which would not pass mus ter in today's continuous" vaude- vile.
 Something better than the tradi- tional melodrama is wanted the man. ager says. He indicates a popular play with the home element in it, which is an item to be taken with en- couragement Yet there are good things to be said for the old shows things that might appear to thinking observer to have foresh hadowed the ad- vance beyond the love of luridity.
 One remembers that always in the Bowery homes of melodrama, now mostly passed away, the villain was heartily hissed and his temporary suc- cesses in the plot were noted with re sentiment. On the other hand, tears accompanied virtue on its thorny path and laundering applause greeted it' triumph in the last act. There wat everything to hope for in audiences thus generous and discriminating with their emotions
 Many theatre goers would rejoice l. hail a managers supplementary state fnent that the problem play and tn, drama of miasma are also doomed There have been few melodramas SC lurid as not to outclass in wholesome ness such productions as Iris "Sappho" "The Degenerates," or ever "The ypocrites"-all presented tt shigh class assemblages.

Absent-minded Men In Barber Shops, From the New York Press.


 You see a lot of absent minded men around. barber shop" remarked the barber with the bristly hair, as he showed one more little gob of lather into the customers mouth. You'd be surprised at the number of people who come in here and make preparations to go to bed" he continued. No, they don't take this place for a hotel. It aint that Here's how it happens: A man will come in and take off his coat and collar and necktie preparatory to getting shaved or having his hair cut. Then when he sees himself in the glass he looks so much like man about to retire for the night that about half the time he will go ahead and wind his watch. A few of the more absent minded ones may start to undo their suspenders before they remember that they ain't going to bed at all But scores of them wind their watches, just as they do at night. That much or 1t Is common occurrence"

 This simple recipe is said to strengthen and cleanse the eliml- native tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons, acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffers from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mix ture, as 1t is certain to do much good, and save you from much misery and suffering after while.

 After making futile attempts to ob- tain answers to his queries, the in- terviewer began to make imaginary dots and dashes on the palm of his left hand with his right fore finger. MT. Carnegie recognized the Morse code in an instant. The telegrapher gave him what is known to New York operators as the high sign." He had told his host that he was an old Western Union man.
 MT. Carnegie made no oral answer but, reaching for an envelope opener which lay on a mahogany-topped table, spelled out the words by ticking the knife: T have nothing further to say"
 Such is one of the many schemes that have been tried to induce MT. Carnegie to talk.
 Possibly it was because I was a Pittsburger that MT. Carnegie chatted

was one or d numDer ol ueWSpd- per men who, in a government cut ter, went out beyond Ellis Island to meet the Cedric, upon which MT. Car negie was a passenger. He was re- turning to America after an absence of several months.
 On that occasion the light and joy of childhood sparkled in the usually impelling eyes of Carnegie. He said that he was glad to get back home. The little tremor in his voice told better than his words that he is a loyal American.
 MT. Carnegie talked at length with the reporters who scampered on board, shaking each by the hand as they reach ed the deck. He talked oe his trip, the approaching gubernato- rial election in New York state, but turned a deaf ear to questions bear ing upon the United States Steel Cor poration and it's officials, the pres idential possibilities and other topics in which the whole industrial and commercial world was interested. But an hour later, when the big Cedric had pulled into her slip, the little, bearded man, wearing a Scotch pat termed cap, was no longer a tourist steelmaster. He was Andrew Carne- gie, and the line on interviews had been drawn. He was then a private citizen of Pittsburg and New York.
 On the following day had the good fortune to meet MT. Carnegie at his home. It was by appointment, ef- fected through an influential Pitts burger. Several newspaper repre- sentatives had called at the house earlier in in the day. but their cards never went beyond the austere-faced butler at the door. One correspondent representing a large New York daily, who was among the disappointed scribes. through some fine piece oe strategy succeeded in getting past the man in swallow tailed coat. His card

On the streets of New York and the prom enades in Central Park. near his home, where I frequently saw him, MT. Carnegie on these occasion, ac- companied sometimes by a friend, but most frequently when alone. was a man of thought.
 If any one doubts that MT. Andrew Carnegie prefers the heather of Scot land and his Skibo castle to America and his New York house, he Is in er- TOT. Should you believe that the Scotch town of Dumfermline and not Pittsburg Is his favorite town, this would be readily dispelled from your mind were you to see the laird on board an ocean greyhound cutting her way through toward the statue of liberty.

A Traaedv Of Niaqara.

The story of Niagara is full of
strange tragedies. One of the most
dramatic of them is as follows. A
hundred yards above the brink of the
American falls rock ten feet square
projects for foot above the water in
midstream. One morning the inhab-
itants awoke and saw man sitting on
it. The noise of the rapids prevented
verbal communication. They did not,
do not and never will know how he
got there He stayed there thirty-six
hours. The people telegraphed to
Buffalo and the railway company sent
one excursion train after another for
thirty six hours to see the man on the
rock. They painted signs and stuck
them up for the man to read, saying
"We will save you. Two hundred
yards above there is a bridge. From
this by ropes they fioated RATS with
provisions to him. At the end of his
stay big raft came for him to get on.
What they were going to do with him
if they got him in this seething rapid
is not known. He tried and failed
and went over the fall, and that is all
