Addition to Layette,

Every one likes to make things for
baby's layette, and a miniature clus-
ter of drawers may be made so cas-
lily and so very inexpensively that they
are well worth trying. A pasteboard
box, measuring five or six inches
square, is selected, and six small
jewel boxes are found to fit into it
like drawers. The large box and the
front of the small one are covered
with silk and white shoe buttons are
sewed as handles on the latter and
the gift is finished. 1t is intended. Of
course, to use for the little details of
the infant toilet, and some people
mark each box so that a glance at the
same will tell the contents. The six
necessities are large and small safety
pins, drawing strings, little mouth
rags, small bits Of absorption cotton.
while nail scissors and gold studs NAV
be kept in the same drawer.

PERPETUAL MOTION, SURE!
inventor Cannot Stop Machine When
Once Started.

Evanston, Ia.-After spending two
years and putting a large amount of
money into materials, j. O. Scott of
this place claims to have solved the
problem Of perpetual motion One
machine, having been weakened in re-
modelling, flew to pieces after running
period of three minutes, and he is
now at work on a new model of so
substantial a pattern that it cannot
fail to stand the test A governor is
all he lacks, claims Scott After start
ing his machine, he }0s no way of
stopping it except to load it until it
cannot run.
The machine, as mas been the case
with all previous experiments along
this line, attempts to utilize gravity
for power On a siX-foot wheel Scott
claims to have an overbalancing
weight of 40 pounds. Weights, cams
and levers are used in its construc-
ton, but further than this, Scott will
not reveal the workings Of his model.
The weights on one side extend 16
inches beyond the circumference of
the wheel, and on the other side fall
four inches within. He expects to hava
me machine completed in about two
months.

candy" AND "JOHN D." OUT.
Carnegie and the Oil Man Disagree
Over Game of Golf.

New York.-All because of a game
of golf, Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller, two of the most distin-
guished devotees of the game in this
country, are reported to have broken
friendship of years standing. For
months, it is said, they have not
spoken to each other and the formerly
frequent visits have been abandoned
Although the quarrel which caused
the estrangement occurred last fall,
the story has only got abroad
The warm argument over which Of
the two won game over John DIS
private golf course at Pocantico Hills,
is said to have caused the old friends
to part. Both assert their differences
ogy from the other. Each asserts he
will never apologize.
From all reports, it was the hot
test kind of game that caused the
trouble. First one was ahead, then
the other. At the sixteenth hole,
Rockefeller announced the score, say
ing he had made rs strokes, against
Carnegies 81. The former steel king
disputed this, saying he had made
only 70. Carnegie captured the next
holes in three fewer strokes than
John. He claimed final score of 85
to Rockefellers Sc. John D. asserted
the proper score was 81 to Sc in his
favor. From this beginning the argu-
ment grew so warm that their friend

RUSTIC WANTS FILIPINO BRIDE
New York Farmer Advertises for
Brown Girl in a Manila Paper.

Utica, N. "a paper published in
Manila, Philippine Islands, recently,
and just received here, contains the
following:
Wanted-An orphan girl for wife,
between the ages of IA and "a. Send
with dowry of $3.50 to Little Falls, n.
Y, freight paid
This is the gist of the wants of Ar
thur Congdon of Little Falls, N. Y, in
a communication written to the sec
rotary of the interior simultaneously
with his inserting the above lad" in
a Manila newspaper. Congdon said
in his letter to the secretary that he
had read of the offer of the govern
ment to provide for the care of Fill
pino girls and the payment to those
of manageable age, who married, a
sum equivalent to the cost of two
years maintenance, about $3.50.
He said that his work on the farm
where among other duties, he cared
for 45 COWS, precluded his going to
Manila for an orphan girl, but that
he would make one of the maidens
his bride if the government would
ship him one, freight prepaid, and
send along with her the $3.50 dowry.
Congdon, who evidently misinterpreted
the cable news regarding the gov
ernment's plan for marrying off it's
eligible wards in the Philippines, is a
good-looking, husky young farmer,
and insisted that he is sincere in his
desire to get Filipino bride.

Tricks in the Soap Business.

Soap is one of the staples for which
there is a heavy demand. There are
numerous standard brands in the
market, all of which are time-tested
and not found lacking in good quail

people are never disappointed in. But
some who are looking for bargains
are willing to try anything new that
comes up, if it be only recommended
by some friend or widely advertised
One of the latest soap deals, which,
by the way is an old game in a new
dress, is to offer bargains in soap

brands and at one-third the cost. A

pie the benefit, and the price named
is about one-third that standard
brands are sold for Not alone this

For several years the Navy Department has been

against officers of the service attempting to use

developments indicate that the department has at

Each member of the class of '03 Annapolis,

know to which ship he would like to be assigned
If the department found the midshpmans selection
practicable it granted his request.
Not content however. with designating the ships
to which they would like he assigned. some few
of the graduates wrote to their Congressman and
Senator's asking them TO their influence to get
them the berths
One particularly fragrant of this kind came
TO the attention of the department through the IN
wise and injudicious opportunities of the midship-
mans Congressman The department at once
wrote to the midshipman asking him if he was
aware that political influence being brought TO
bear to get him his assignment and If this influence
was being brought to bear at his request and with
his sanction.
The mildly had to answer these questions af-
buke from the department with the order that this
rebuke should be attached 10 and made part OF

days by an order directing him TO report for duty

PLANS FOR MORE AND BETTER PARKS
Two Schemes To Be Submitted to the Char
fer Revision Commission.

Two plans are under consideration by the execu-
tive committee of the Allied Parks Association OF
which Eugene A Philbin is president for submis-
sion 10 the Charter Revision Commission, regard
ing not only the administration of the parks, but
also the economical acquisition Of desirable sites
and the laying out of sites for parks and play
grounds.
One plan is that commission of five shall be ap-
pointed by the Mayor from recommendations made
by recognized organizations. each commissioner TO
be paid salary of 5000 year The other plan Is
that a commission Of eleven shall be appointed by
the Mayor who shall himself be an ex-offcio mem
ber the ten others be selected from the directo-
rate of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art the New
York Public Library, the Brooklyn Institute. the
Chamber Of Commerce OF the Borough of Rich
rnond the United Civic Association of the Borough
Of Queens and the North Side Board of Trade and
a citizen. who has been resident at least ten
years of the boroughs Of Brooklyn, Queens, Rich
rnond and The Bronx. These commissioners are TO
serve without compensation except that they shall
receive so for each meeting attended, but in no
shall the amount so received by each com
missioner exceed IN any year $500
The first commissioners are TO be appointed Tor a
term of one two. three. four and five years. so as
to provide commissioner going out of office
each year. The duties of the commissioners will he
to acquire control and development of and to ad-
minister park properties and to appoint superin-
tendent of parks for each borough and such other
employees may be necessary
If the plan of having five commissioners is adopt
ed then they will personally exercise the same
functions those now exercised by the present
Park Commissioner and the superintendent Will
have the duties such officials now have
under the existing system.
1t is also proposed that the Board of Estimate
shall include for the acquisition of parks in the tax
budget a sum not less than mill dollar of
assessed valuation; that lands for use public
parks shall be acquired without the approval
of the commission, and that the word parks shall
for all purposes be deemed TO include Fairgrounds
