TOWELS SHOW HIS TRAIL.

"In the apartment house I live in" remarked the observant man, q share a bathroom with bachelor in the next apartment to mine. He is a travelling man, and although only have a lowing acquaintance with him I always can tell where he has been on his last trip by the names of the hotels on the towels he uses. He never returns from a journey with out one or more new towels. If he ever stays at the hotel which pro- poses to rent out evening suits to their guests I haven't the slightest doubt that he will appropriate one of those, too"

RUN WITHOUT CONDUCTOR.


 The smallest trolley system in Philadelphia, system that boasts of only one car, two motormen, no con- ductors, and on which travellers ride free, is in operation at the League island navy yard. It is the only street car line that Uncle Sam owns. The car is run for the convenience of the officers and their friends, and holds a score of passengers. The mo- tormen are detailed whenever their services are required, and no trans fers or tickets are issued.-New York Tribune.

PRESERVE HOME OF BALZAC
Ills Place of Refuge in Paris Turned Into Museum for Souvenirs
 of Writer.

Admirers of Balzac who come to Paris will hereafter have an oppor- tunity of visiting a museum special ly devoted to souvenirs of the writer. It consists of the quaint old house and garden in the Rue Raynouard at No. AZ, which he inhabited many years and where he wrote a number of his best works. Curiously enough, the house recalls one of the most diff ficult periods of his life, when, it is said, he was hunted and persecuted by debtors to an alarming extent. He selected the house, it is stated, pur- posely as a sort of harbor of refuge from duns. It has no direct entrance from the Rue Raynouard, and one has first to pass through the hall of another house and go down two flights of stairs to courtyard below. The house, which is a small building and which the French would only call a "pavilion," is entered from this courtyard and has little gar- den at the back. At one side of the garden there is steep wall down the side of the hill, giving the place the appearance of little fortress.-Lon- don Telegraph.

CHEAP METHOD OF DRAINING
Windmliis of Holland Are Practically indispensable to the h.
 habitants.

The windmills of Holland have as their chief function the draining of the polders, or meadows, in the spring, when the thawing weather fills these meadows with water. Hol- land is very damp country at all times, and without this cheap means of drawing the water off of the land the people would be in sore straits indeed.
 All along the dykes may be seen these windmills, silently but surely performing their function of drain ing the lowlands. Steam pumps are used in some places, and probably will be used in the gigantic under taking that Holland now has on foot of draining the Zuyder Zee, but doubtless windmills will always be distinctive feature of Dutch land- soapes, for the wind rarely ever fails in that country, and there IS prac- tically no expense attached to the op- eration of these mills.
 Even in the heart of Rotterdam there is large windmill for grind ing corn and wheat, and while one would think that in the city the buildings would break the wind so that a mill couldn not be used satis- factorily, nothing seems to interrupt this old landmark as it steadily grinds away day in and day out the year round.
