RAmBLE IN CHARMING cAD1z
Quaint Streets and Houses OF the
Arfstocratic Old Town of Spain.

Quaint Streets and Houses OF the
Aristocratic Old Town of Spain.
A walk through the streets of Cadiz
keeps one craning ones neck, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The houses
but the streets are extremely narrow,
and it is necessary to look straight up
III order to see the house fronts. The
lower story is generally painted a dark
color-brown, red or dull gray-while
the upper stories are tinted white or
pale shades of pink, yellow, blue or
green. A very striking style of con-
struction, one that is decidedly pleasing
to the eye, is the good use made of
glazed tiles. One house in particular
caught our fancy. The lower story was
painted a deep, dull red. The upper
stories were faced with pale yellow
tiles, the woodwork around all windows
being white. Balconies and bay win
dows jut from every floor Of every
house. The streets look like narrow
canyons running through perpendicular
walls of balconies and bay windows.
In many cases bay windows are built
out into the balconies, while in others
bay windows that reach the entire
height of story are closely barred all
the way up. Along many streets these
balconies afford a very pretty sight, for
plant-loving residents have turned them
into diminutive gardens and frequent
glimpses Of red geraniums, purple bou-
gainVilliers, roses of every color and
green vines supply a most pleasing
touch of color.
Along the principal shopping street,
Dubuque re Tetuan, are some handsome
buildings, most of which are residences
Of Spanish aristocrats. In most cases
the ground floor has been transformed
into shops, but in one instance the en-
tire house has been turned into a Span
ish hotel. We went into this hotel,
formerly the residence Of a marquis,
but which has been greatly altered and
spoiled by its transformation. A curl
Gus fact was that every bedroom we
saw opened into a patio" or court
yard, the only air and light for the
rooms coming from the court.
The better class of residences In
Cadiz are distinguishable by the mar
row square towers that rise to a consid-
cradle height above the fat roofs. These
towers are crowned by tiny glass
houses, where members Of the family
can enjoy a sun bath and at the same
time an unobstructed view Of the city.
On a sunny day this view is a bright
one, for Cadiz is very pretty sight,
and fully lives up to its name Of 1.-THE
Pearl of AndaluSia."

METHODS OF THE GERMANS.
Firms of Kaiser's Land Going After
Business of Russia.


A recent report from the British con-
sui at Odessa, printed in Nottingham
newspapers and supplied by Consul f.
w. Mahin, describes German CONNER
cial methods in Southern Russia:
1t seems that on the sale Of agrl-
cultural machinery there Great Britain
now leads, but German firms are press
ing a dangerous competition. They
have the business thoroughly organized,
with a complete system Of agencies, OF
which the head is in Odessa. In addi-
ton to agents in all agricultural cen
tiers. the Germans use many commercial
travellers. They also employ commits
sioners-local men, who are constantly
travelling about for some purpose, per-
haps buying grain, and are therefore
on intimate acquaintance with the
farmers. Among these they successful
lv nress the sale of German machinery.
Thus organization and persistency have
created a large market for German
agricultural machinery; but, In addi-
ton, the consular reports says, the Ger
mans profit by "the introduction and
advertisement of novelties. The Rus
sian likes novelties, however trifing,
and even the alteration Of the name, for
instance, under which a machine or i'm
plement is known, or some insignificant
change in construction, which the Ger
man takes good care to point out, may
facilitate q purchase which might not
have been made if the old designation
or style Of machine or implement had
been offered"
This is only one instance in very

A look Ahead.

Queen Alexandra, Of gracious pres
enoe herself, attended last springs an
nual Mansion House fete in London,
and because of that suspicious fact
there is q tale to tell, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly, and worth the while.
One Of the diminutive flower maidens
was both pretty and plump, and when
her majesty stopped for an instant to
smile down upon her, what did she do
but put up her wee mouth for a kiss,
which she received.
"Molly!" gasped her astounded moth
er, after the distinguished visitor had
passed on. "How could your
Molly gave good reason. II fought"
said she, at I'D be interestin' to tell
my grandchildren"

supported on thick roller, and
ahead of the roller there pro-
jects a frame work that is made to
hold two kinds of blades, such as q
plane would have. One Of the blades
is straight and the other is V-shaped,
and they are set in at the same inclina-
ton as the blades of a plane are set.
The operator, instead of crawling stiff
ly about with little hand plane, push
es the device about q room with the
same majestic air that he would pro-

ing the end firmly against the inner
sides Of the spout and effectually clos
Ing the opening. The oil is thus pre-
vented from dripping out. By pushing
the push button with the thumb the rod
Is drawn away from the mouth Of the
opening, allowing the oil to flow freely.
In this way the flow Of the oil can be
readily controlled and does not flow
spasmodically, as with the ordinary oil
can. This improved device should prove
to be especially useful to engineers and
machinlsts.

The Technique of Home Making.


"Cook, sweep, dust and sew, these
four words will never make a happy
home" writes the editor in WOman's
Home Companion. "They do not make
sympathy, and love, and ambition, and
faith; but they go a long way toward
making room for these things. The av-
erage bride has a trunkful of ideals,
and maybe two trunkfulS of clothes.
Her cook book-if she has one and the
leaves are cut at all-opens easily to
fudge But unless she has mastered
enough pages of this book to get three
meals a day, without eXhausting her
own body and soul, and her husbands,
too. she will have little time for clothes
and none at all for ideals. She finds
herself involved in the mastery of the
lnerest technical details. In spite of
her best endeavOrs, her husband loses
his enthusiasm for badly cooked food
poorly served. Perhaps she tells him
that he couldn't do it so well himself,
and then he tells her about what he can
perhaps it's soldering a joint or
adding up a column of figures or draw
ing a straight line between two given
peints-but anyhow he can do it, be-
cause it is his business and he has per-
fected himself in it, and if she-and
then the Cook and Sweep and Dust and
Sew fling wide the doors of that house,
and Sympathy and Love and Ambition
and Faith make their escape"

ing soap bubbles the necessary solution
Of soap and water is mixed AID tho
nozzle dipped into the solution. The
device is then withdrawn out Of the
water and the bulb gently compressed
and relaxed, this operation being re
peated any desired number Of times
The compression forces air into the ali
tachment and the bubble is gradually
formed. When fully developed it is de-
tached in the same manner as bubbles
are detached from the ordinary tube
or pipe usually employed for making
bubbles. The soap solution is made in
the usual manner, the bubbles being
quickly and easily formed by means OF
the hand only, and the necessity Of
blowing through a pipe or stem i
avoided.

in rows and supported on uprights,
which extend below the level Of the
floor. Beneath the chair is an opening,
covered by a sliding door. Each row
of chairs is connected to lever, which
