PREFER THE PRINCESS.

Those who understand the inner
workings of society and the idiosyn-
crasies thereof consider that it is in
many ways a greater privilege to en-
terrain the Princess Of Wales than
the King or Queen, inasmuch as her
Maiesty-to-be is far more exclusive
than the present Queen. The Prin-
cess, of course, knows all the Ameri-
can best set in the ordinary way, but
on her private visiting list there are
not half a dozen names of Americans.
Among this privileged half dozen is
Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester,
Lady Lister-Kaye and Lady (Arthur(
Paget. She has a special regard for
the two last Lady Lister-Kaye was
the only American who was asked to

The first thought in painting should,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years gothic paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was nc familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety If he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
HORSEPOWER as the education of a
paint expert could be.

The most interesting announce
nent ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
Of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead OF
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use Of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour
from Detroit to Denver and thence tC
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient tc
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi
sion of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore, it would have been impos
sible for the driver of the White tt

POTATO FRICASSEE.

II you are tired of the old ways of
cooking the inevitable potato, which
in most families forms part of the
daily menu, despite doctors and dread
of flesh, why not try fricassee? 1t

in a certain Italian family, and is de-
licious.

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in couple OF
minutes: but so completely successful
has kerosene proven to be, that it is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that

| S4OOO-model-excee their most san
guine expectations. 1t Is evident that

er which everyone understands and
has confidence in-with kerosene

Drumming of the Snipe.

One of the most remarkable OF
bird sounds is the so-called drumming
of the snipe. The noise is difficult
to describe and is often compared to
bleating. The snipe, in fact, has been
called the bleater. Tennyson used
the word hum, speaking of The
swamp where huns the snipe.'
1t is now generally agreed that the
noise is made by the vibration of the
tail feathers A writer, however,
carefully watching the snipe during
the flights in which it makes this re-
markabIe noise is convinced that the
wing assist in its production. This
seems exceedingly probable, since the
wings are seen to be in actual yibra-
ton during its emission.-Country

For the best essay on the earth
interior the University Of Jena has
awarded prize to NJ. Thiene, whose
theory is thus outlined: The mean
density of the earth is known to be
more than five times that of water.
AS the surface rocks have al average
density Of only > Il and water OF ],
the interior must have density of
about 7.7--that OF iron. 1t is fairly
certain also that the rigidity is slight
~ greater than that OF steel. He
concludes that the earth's crust is
about $50 miles thick. instead OF the
thirty miles OF common estimate, and

Idle Curiosity.

Many well-meaning persons are
apt to confuse what they regard as
interest in others with idle curiosity,
and thereby cause serious annoyance
if not actual suffering, besides plac-
ing themselves in an unenyiable
light. Very often the display of
curiosity is unconscious and arises
from a desire to give evidence to
some friend of a willingness On our
part to share his confidence, but the
friend is very sure not to avail him.
self of this opportunity, else he
would have sought it himself. There
are some sorrows in nearly every
ones life which reach down too
deeply into the heart to bear even
the kindliest inquisition; sorrows
which we are not willing to speak of
voluntarily even to those nearest and
dearest to us, and yet it often hap
pens that it is upon such a subject
as this that some kind friend is apt
ty of this sort is more than idle; it
is an evidence of lack of considera-
ton, to say the least, and is sup
posed not to obtain in genteel society,
and yet We venture to say that there
is hardly person in this wide world
of ours who has not at some period
when misfortune has entered his

sirable species, and then, when there
is no more mischief that can be done,

growing crops.-Biddeford Journal.
