LUxURIES OF MODERN HOTELS
MuIti-Mill ionaire Can Live Better
Now Than Kings of Old
Ever Did.

Modern New York hotels have
reached the acme of luxury and are
adapted to the long purses of the
multi-millionaire, who requires as
matter of course, luxuries which the
most powerful monarch In the world
might long for in vain. He can live
in regal apartments hung with price
less Gobelin tapestries and spread
with the most costly rugs Of the
Orient. He can battle his tired body
in perfumed waters, and refresh the
inner man with the marvellous crea-
lions of SEC, 000-a-year chef. He can
sleep in a bed Of carved tulip wood
an art treasure, an heirloom from an
old French castle, hung with silk after
the ancient style, and worth q little
over $4,000; and last. but not least,
servants who will anticipate his every
wish.
His bedroom timepiece is regulated
for him by Washington observatory,
and his business may be carried on In
the seclusion of his own apartments
over a private or long distance tele-
phone. At one of the new and beauti-
full hotels-which employs 1882 peo-
pie for its 746 rooms-he may even
skate on real Ice in midsummer for
during the hot weather the grillroom
Is turned into a skating rink, coat OF
ice being placed at great expense over
the tiled floor. 1t is not to be won
dered at, therefore, that scores of
American millionaires, who could well
afford palaces of their own. have
made their homes permanently In
these great and marvellous Aladdins
palaces. Many of them in fact have
deserted magnificent private resi-
dences and taken up their abode in a
New York hotel in order to escape the
servant problem.-Literary Magazine.

Rafting on the Delaware.

Two RATS of hemlock logs, belong.

ware river from above Equinunk one
recent Tuesday. One. three hand

the following Wednesday about four
o'clock; the other, larger raft, earlier
In the afternoon.
There was a fair freshet in the Della
ware, and the timber reached its des
tination, Belvidere, N. j., on Friday
So far as heard from, these are the
only two RATS that descended the
Delaware the present spring. This
is striking contrast compared with
the number of RATS run on the Della
ware 30 years ago, when during reg
ular freshet several hundred would
pass a given point daily for perhaps 9
week.-Philadelphia Record.

be plowed up. On fresh sod good

MOTOR CAR
In COUNTRY
Increased Use Of Automobile BY
Farmers Shows That It Ia
Real Convenience IN
Farming Districts.
(By II. Il. HARPERJ

(By II. Il. HARPERJ
Automobile manufacturers general
ly are recognizing the possibilities OF
expanding their business by adapting
their product to the needs OF the
farmer.
Prosperous as never before, with a
larger crop than in any previous
years, the farmer has money to spend
and the farmer with money wants to
and does live every whit as well as
his city brothers and generally better.
The thing to consider is what type
of car will best meet the require
mcnts of the farmer buyer. First is
the question of roads. The country
roads are not all gravel roads or
macadamized turnpikes.
The successful country car must be
cce which will travel over inferior
roads--roads that sometimes are
heavy with mud, roads that are often
covered IL inches or mere with new
fallen untrodden snow.
Here the first essential is light
weight. A GOOD light weight car
should be selected. A car weighing
1000 TO 1000 pounds is. not a prac-
tlcal car for all around country serv-
ice. car weighing 1900 pounds is
much better suited TO the average
road conditions.
Then. too. this light car can easily
travel off the regular roads, over the
fields to any part of the farm.
A light car is easier on tires. re-
duces gasoline and oil bills and calls
for less replacement expense.

been forced to rebuke the he could have made the
request in the most considerate manner if it had
Cured BEFORE he could have laid whatever emphasis
might have been deserved upon the ofense The young
man would have recognized any deserved form and
degree of reprimand. His loyalty would have been
strengthened by the fact that his employer by waiting
had saved him undue embarrassment. Still more, he
could have had a chance to explain and offer
apology.

Life Like Mercury.

A German psychologist has shown
remarkable amoeba-like movements in
q drop of mercury.
A bichromate of potash cystal and
the drop of mercury are laid a frac-
ton of an inch apart on the level bot
tom of glass dish containing dilute
nitric acid, and as the yellow ring
from the dissolving crystal reaches
the mercury, the latter jumps back,
then moves to the crystal and sends
forth and draws back long tentacles,
with lively twitchings curiously like
those of a living animal.
