GIVEN UP TO TRADE
Only the Old Guard Holds Forth
on Fifth Avenue, N. Y.
Fashionable Thoroughfare Has Been
Almost Completely Sold Out to In
vading Mercenaries-onIy Few
Prominent Families Remain.

New York.-Imperious old Fifth
avenue has gone-not into clay, but
Into trade. At Fifty-second street the
Vanderbilts, the Sloanes and the Shep-
ards, buttressed behind their massive
mansions, have been making the last
stand of the old guard against the In
vasion of mercenaries. But now, un-
like the old guard, they have surren-
dered, and within a year Mrs. Ger
nelius Vanderbilt will have for third
door neighbor a French modiste with
fine, big electric signs to enliven the
famous mansion at Fifty-seventh
street, where for years and years the
destinies of social America have been
swayed.
1t is well within the memory of
most New Workers when Fifth avenue
from Fiftieth to Fifty-ninth street was
SO exclusive that only the Knickor-
bockers could live there, whatever
their wealth. Then policemen frowned
creaseless trousers off the street. Now
folks of all classes mingle freely, and
there is only one block in all the ten
where trade has not intruded. In this
block within six months an apartment
house with promised height of some
hundreds of feet will crown the neigh
borhood.
The whole story of it all is that the
"old Fifth avenue" has sold out. 1t has
received more money consideration
from trade for moving up town into
the new Fifth avenue than the scnti
mental satisfaction of preserving Its
ancestral homes was worth. 1t has
emigrated northward-or to Europe
therefore, leaving only the three Van
derbilts, the Sloanes, the Shepards
the Huntingtons and William Rookie

Headache Powders Kill.

Wooster, O.-Mrs. d. j. c. Hanna
Of Big Prairie, died few hours after
taking an overdose Of headache medi-
cine. Suffering with severe pain,
the woman went to her husbands
medicine case and took a tablet. 1t
had no effect and in half an hour she
took another. There was enough
poison in the two tablets to cause her
death in spite of her husbands eff
forts to save her.

Case for the Njuhtcap.

1t is a great time saver and first
aid II the lazy.
1t is not the kind you imbibe, either.
but a real addition to milady's outfit.
Lazy people may now appear at
breakfast In a presentable state with
out bothering to dress the hair until
afterward.
For in addition to the night cap prop
er there are a number of styles adapt
ed for boudoir use, little less close
fitting than the night cap, and without
the strings tied under the chin.
The caps are made of the sheerest
bits of muslin, with valenciennes or
Irish lace, according to ones pocket
book, and perky bow of ribbon at the
side.
They are very attractive and are be-
coming to almost every one.
And the fad for them seems to be
increasing.
Besides keeping the hair smooth for
the night, they may be made to i'm.
part a delightful scent to It by the in
sertion of perfumed catchets.

When Sleep VIII Not Come

Narcotics are, generally speaking,
equally bad. To earn sound sleep, in
fact, there is only one way, and that
is to follow natures system Of de-
stroying consciousness.
First, lie in the most comfortable
position possible, and this is usually
on the right side with the knees slight
ly fiexed. Then, with the lips closed,
but not compressed, drop the lower
Jaw and relax the tongue, gently shut

The center measures seven inches in
breadth and IL inches in length; the
flaps are each three inches in breadth,
and are cut e. the length Of each side
and end. When closed, the flaps are
folded inside, and the case doubles
over in the center Two satin loops
are sewn to the end Of one side and
one in the center of the other, through
which a wood or bone crochet-hook is
passed to keep the case closed. A
handle an inch wide is sewn to the
top.

Vanity.

Vanity is to a certain extent a good
thing The wholesome vanity which
makes a woman want to look her
best at all times, that makes her take
care of her hair and teeth and hands,
that keeps her shoulders back and
head erect. that bids her sEchew
dressing Jackets for housewear, and
keep her frocks well brushed and
mended-this is vanity worth having.

Five absolutely sleepless nights are
enough to cause death, and two may
be enough to cause hallucinations, loss
of memory, and all kinds of other trou-
bles. The best advice for the treat
ment of insomnia, perhaps, was that
of the Irishman, who said he knew the
one and only cure-"Just go to sleep
and forget all about It," Not easy,
maybe. hut sound advice, all the same;
10 worry about sleplessness is fatal.

of the morrow. She takes all the fun
of the present until it becomes habit;
such a strong habit that even the wor-
ries as they come fail to blur the
slate.
Try 1t just for one day. Begin this
morning to rub out of your recollec.
lection the things you failed to do and
the things you may fail in doing. De.
termine, until you go to bed tonight,
to live for the next thing as well and
as cheerfully as you can.
If day so spent is not entirely as
you would spend it, at least the aver
age of happiness is higher than if you
passed the hours in vain regrets and
vainer forebodings until no strength
is left for sane living.

HOLDS THE WORK UTENSILS
Simple Pocket Either of Silk or Linen
is Well Worth Time Necessary
for Construction.

A pocket to hold needles and all
work implements is most useful, espe-
cially when travelling, and it may be

linen either with plain or broche
silk or sateen.
Our model is in blue art linen sten.

corners on one side and a monogram
in center on the other.
The edge is bound all round with

hold buttons, tape, etc, being made
of it in center, and outside this are

English submarines of about the same size as
the Salmon, which made the coastwise from
Dover to Dundee, a distance of 512 miles, and the
famous performance of the French submarine
Papin, which on one occasion made a cruise of
1900 miles. However, this French achievement
is overshadowed by the Salmon's cruise because
not only was the distance Of the latter much
greater, but it was open performance,
whereas the Papin crused along the coast, and,
finally, the French vessel is much larger than
the new American record-breaker. the Papin be-
ing of $50 tons displacement, whereas the Salmon
is of but 800 tons displacement.
The Salmon, alike to most of the submarines
which have lately been added to the United
States navy, is development Of the original
Holland type Of submarine which first gave the
Americans the lead in this class of shipbuilding.
The Salmon is 135 feet in length by IA feet beam
and is a twin-screw boat, being driven the
surface by two gasoline engines of 800 horse
power each and propelled when submerged by
electrical power supplied from storage batteries.
BY way of fulfilling her mission of destruction
the little vessel has four torpedo tubes equipped
to fire the latest type of torpedo-that IS, tor
pedo II feet in length and IS inches in diameter,
having a radius of 1000 yards and carrying an
explosive charge of 200 pounds Of guncotton. On
her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried a
crew of 21 men, but it was demonstrated on this
cruise that under actual service conditions such
a submarine can be operated. in far navi-
cation is concerned. by FIVE men-two on the
bridge and three in the engine room.
The Salmon is capable of speed of IA knots
per hour when running awash or on the surface
of the water and IL knots per hour when running
wholly submerged Only three minutes is re-
uuired to change from surface running b. gaso-
line engines to submerged running by electrical
power The vessel has. on trial. Owed to depth
of more than 2005feet without any sign of strain
or leakage being manifest anywhere on her steel
cigar-shaped body. unique feature of the equip
ment of an up-to-date submarine such as the
Salmon is double periscope whereby. when
the vessel is wholly submerged the officers on
board can observe all that is going on at the
surface of the water Electrical ranges are pro
vided for cooking the meals of those on board,
and there is a reserve supply of 4S0O cubic feet
of air contained in 2S tanks so that If need he
the vessel could be sealed up tight and remain
under the surface Of the water for one or two
days and nights without those on hoard having
any communication with the outside world or
coming to the surface for fresh air. On the
Salmon's Bermuda cruise there were on board, IN
addition to the officers of the American navy,
Cant Arturo Cuevas of the Chilean navy, who
went for the purpose of reporting to his govern
ment on the behavior of the vessel.
