The Weather House,

A very ingenious contrivance for
foretelling the weather is the old fash
toned weather house," largely made
in Switzerland. 1t is arranged in such
a way that two figures act in response
to the twisting of a piece of eatgut.
The material. supported by wire, con-
trolls the movements of a little plat
form on either end Of which is placed
a model Excessive moisture in the air
causes the catgut to twist and turn the
platform round, so that the man
energies from one of the doors in the
front of the house. Reverse conditions
of the atmosphere bring about the con-
traction of the catgut. and the plat
form swings back, thus bringing the
figure of the woman into prominence
at her particular door. The making Of
a weather house is quite an easy mat

Your heart and your head keep up,
Your hands and your knees keep down,
Your knees keep close to your horses
sides
And your elbows to your own.
This old bit Of advice for the would
be horseman is quoted by writer in
Baily's Magazine and declared to be
perennially sound.
He quotes another old hunter on the
subject of what he calls 1.-The divine
gift of hands, in riding. This old
hunter, John Darby, used to attach
two pieces of Irvine to the back of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on it's
fore or hind legs, according to his own
position.
Then when balanced he would keep
it, so to speak, on the swing by gently
manipulating the Irvine or reins he
held in his hand. A rough pull would,
of course, have upset the chair one
way, whereas the fact of not checking
1t in its movements at all would have
caused total loss of control over it
in the opposite direction.
And that" when the exhibition was
concluded he would add, "is hands,
gentlemen"
Jogging to the covert, continues the
writer, you may notice one fine horse,
the owner fully equipped, throwing its
head up and down like q pump handle
another sweating profusely, although
the pace has not exceeded five miles
an hour since It left the stable. and a
third snorting and prancing about all
over the place.
Why is this so? Simply because the
rider of neither of them is possessed
with the divine gift of hands"

NOT AIDES WIT, BUT HER RAT

(By Amy Leslie in Chicago Daily
News)
Mr.. AIDE, whom we regard as buoy
antly witty and an irresistible humor-
list, never touched them over the water,
but Gertrude Quinlan's pompadour was
swept up the Strand like a simeon OF
laugh dust which set them all talking
about America.
Now, when Miss Quinlan startled
this country by hitting up Flora Wig
gins of the college boarding house in
such a vigorous style as to make Am
erica laugh, the success was regarded
something in the light of an accident
which, to say the least, was rather put
ting it over Miss Quinlan with the
smallest show of national pride. Now
that London has laughed, actually
laughed lblithely, let us hope, with an
American for the first time in its thea
trical life, Miss Quinlan's comedy cor
pulence must be admitted without the
multiplying adjunct of accidental.
MAYBE GERTIE KNEW.
Gertie probably knew it was loaded.
She is a quiet person of unobtrusive
talents as coy soubrette of the mo-
lasses-candy variety, much lauded in
musical comedy, but she is a Yankee
with a splotch of Irish in her veins
and her humor was brisk enough for
her to laugh obstreperously at herself
in many of the kittenish girly-girly
jokes Mr.. Savage repeatedly asked her
to operate in disguise from the NOISY
end of a comic opera. But the public
knew nothing of that. And when Miss
Quinlan, who had never shone so as to
put other and further soubrettes in
the shade, stepped out of the kittenish
row and commanded a rich comedy sit.

domestic comedy of the broadcast pat

Beresford and, after the sad reading
was over, ne said decisivey:

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 5.-Laura
Biggar Bennett, former actress, who
received almost $1,OOO,0OO from the
estate of her husband. Henry NJ. Ben
nett, theatrical manager, has salts
fed the ambition of her life. She IS
now a real editor, even if it is in
country where the subscriptions are
paid in yams, alfalfa and Mexican
turnips. The paper which Mrs. Ben
nett owns and edits is the Daily Sun
of Albuquerque, N. M.
Some time ago Mrs. Benefits sons
health failed and she took him to the
Southwest. She was so much pleased
with the place that she decided to
settle there, and in order to have
her mind occupied she purchased the
Sun. She came back to Pittsburg
today to settle up her affairs here,
as she expects to reside there per-
manently.
It's glorious to be an editor" she
said today. "All these Arizona Kick
er stories that you read about are
bosh. Since I've owned the Sun there
has been only one bad man in try
ing to shoot up the Office, and he
was intoxicated. The editors of the
other papers ride over to see me on
their bronchos, and some Of them
have said real nice things about me

produce that comes in for subscrip-
