Little Mishap to an Automobile Wag

on Easily Set Right.
Not so many things happen to auto
mobiles now as once did, but evez so
not all mshaps are as easily and
quickly adjusted as was this one.
Going around a corner the drive
chain on one side of an automobile
delivery wagon came off the rear
sprocket. mishap which the driver
almost instantly discovered When
the wagon stopped the man with the
driver picked up a pair Of gloves and
jumped off and ran around to the
wheel from which the chain had drop
ped.
He lifted up the chain and set two
or three links of it over as many teeth
Of the froward part Of the sprocket
wheel, and holding the chain there he
called to the driver;
Back her"
And the driver backed gently, the
man holding the chain, and in mo-
ment the chain clicked back all right
on the sprocket wheel.
"That sounds good to muh," said
the man, and then he ran around and
climbed to his place on the wagon
seat again, and the next moment the
outfit was again On it's way.

BREAKING AN OLD CUSTOM.
How Clubs System Of Blaekballln9
Was BROUGHT to an End

How Clubs System Of BIaekbaliina
Was Brought to an End.
An authentic story is told of one
famous club in st. James street
where a number of ancient members
made it law to themselves to reject
every one without exception who had
offered himself as a candidate.
This practice of blackballing was
long held as an Imperative and un-
breakable rule, but was at length
evaded by strategem. At one cleo.
ton number of a newcomers friends
were in attendance, but outside at
a distance from the clubhouse. No
one appeared in the committee room,
and it was generally supposed that
there would be no quorum. The NAL.
contents therefore abstained from
voting.
But when only few minutes OF the
legal time for balloting remained and
the servants were at the point of re-
moving the ballot boxes an over
whelming number of the candidates
friends rushed in and elected him be-
fore the slightest opposition could be
organized. After this the absurd sys-
tenn Of blackballing was dropped, and
the club to-day is still alive and pros.

BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD,
Farmers Mishap That Stopped Travel
on French Hiuhway,

on a French Highway.
A curious incident is reported from
st. Prieure, near Chambery, where
two colonies Of bees in a state
of instruction have routed ev.
erybody from the neighborhood and
are still masters Of the road.
The cure Of neighboring place,
accompanied by a farmer, came to
take possession of two beehives,
which the farmer loaded on a cart
drawn by two oxen. Halfway home
one OF the hives fell off the cart and
was broken up. The bees on being
liberated attacked the farmer with
fury and stung him so violently that
the poor man tainted and fell on tho
road. The cure came to his rescue,
but in his hurry upset the other hive,
from which the bees also escaped and
attacked him in turn.
Workmen from the fields round
about heard the cries and rescued
both men, who had to be carried to a
house and attended by doctor.
Meanwhile the bees attacked the OK
en- and stung them so fiercely that
the two beasts started on a mad race
down the road and were finally STOP
ped by a woman, who in turn was
surrounded not only by the bees of
the first two hives but apparently by
all the bees in the neighborhood, and
had herself to be rescued by the vii
layers.
So savage have the bees become
that the highway is still said to be
in their possession, and the inhabit.
ants have to be we'll protected to VEN
ture out in the fields.

COLOR MUSEUMS DEMAND.
Beautiful Stuffs Being Thrown Away
Whose Remnants Will Cost Dear.

Beautiful Stuffs Being Thrown Away
Whose Remnants Will Cost Dear.
"A novel suggestion was put forward
at yesterdays international art con-
gress at the Victoria and Albert Muse
UNI by Mr.. Alexander Millar, promin-
ent manufacturer and designer, who
urged the need for systematic color
training and recommended the estab-
lishment of color museums" This idea
he explained, had received SYM
pathetic support from many great art
lists. In every educational center and
in every school there should be col
lections of objects selected for their
beauty Of color alohe. There should
be analytic color sections, showing
the color scheme apart from the &C.
cidents Of form and shadow.
The collection. continued Mr.. Millar,
need not be very costly. Why should
not a beginning be made by making a
selection from the beautifully colored
textiles which appear from time to
time in shop windows? The expense
would be very small. Year by year
beautiful stuffs were being produced
and allowed to drop into oblivion. II
such colleeti be not formed now
it might be that one hundred years
hence our museum authorities would
buy at a fancy price collection Of
imperfect fragments of the very stuffs
which could be now acquired for a
nominal sum.
He spoke Of what he knew when he
said that such collection would be
heartily welcomed by all designers
and by every one connected with arts
and industries in which color played
an important part.

Conan Doyle has written book en-
titled Through the Magic Docr." 1t
is neither about crime nor to detection
of criminals, but it merely, tells what
in literature Sherlock Holmes likes
and what he doesn't like. He advises
young readers to talk about what they
have recently read. Except to per-
sonal friends, this sort Of talk, while
useful to the talker, is ordinarily
about as interesting to the bearer as
the narration of ones dreams.
