Packing a Trunk.

A slight knowledge Of packing will help
a girl to keep her clothes looking fresh.
though they may be often put into a
trunk. It Is literally wearing to frocks
to mash them down time after time when
going away to make short visits in the
summer. large quantity OF tissue paper
may be regarded as good investment,
The more sleeves and waists can be stuff
ed to hold their original shape the less
will they be crushed and at all cost one
must avoid a frock being so placed that

that only ironing by professional Will
freshen it.
II is a mistake to think that a trunk
should be loosely packed; on the contra
ry, the tighter everything can be placed
i'm it the less likely are the articles to be
shifted when the trunk is thrown from
car to platform and hurled upon wagons
Unless one has trunk so built as to
stand on end always. 1t does not matter
in what section the heavy articles are
will be the bottom at another.
Bags of linen jIst large enough to hold

until the latter are round. but not hard.
The waist is then fastened, and four or
five sheets. also crushed go into that to
give 1t semblance of shape.
Then the skirt is taken at each side
down by the hem and laid out perfectly
smooth. after which first one side and
then the other is laid over to the back

laid on a piece Of cheese cloth half a
yard long to serve as a cover.
This is pinned down, tight, but smooth,
and the parcel thus arranged is easily

trunk may he thrown about. the folds are
preserved so that few. IL any, wrinkles
are made In the packing.
AS soon as possible after arriving. gar
ments are to be taken out and hung up
putting them into the air IL they are
creased. Every girl should always have
four or five folding coat hangers with
her, for dresses that are hung on them
more quickly lose any appearance of hay-

Good Biography a Tonic.

A good tonic for the girl who is short
on ambition and long on frivolities is
reading OF biographies of men and women,
who have arrived after hard ups and
disheartening downs. They reproach her
for accepting the limitations of her lot,
and sometimes inject into her mind a
healthy bacillus of discomfort. says the
Chicago Tribune. The girl who enjoys
biographies enjoys achievement, and vice
as a source of inspiration and enlighten-
ment.
1t is best to read OF the doings OF such
men and women who have reached the
top in your own line of work. for these
make the strongest appeal to your will,
and IL you cannot read between the lines
and pick out pointers for yourself you
will at least feel the unexpressed chal-
lenge to perk up and do likewise, II not a
little better.

Origin of Word Etiquette.

The French word etiquette" really
means a label or ticket" How. then,
comes it to denote conventional forms of
ceremony?
1t is said that a certain Scottish gar
dener in charge OF Louis xIv's garden at
Versailles was very much put out be-
cause the courtiers walked over his beds.
To keep of these trespassers he placed
labels or --"etiquettes"-at various
spots. with instructions as to the proper
paths. At first the naughty courtiers did
not deign to notice these placards. but q
hint from high quarters that their walks
In future must be within the "etiquettes''
compelled their obedience.
Thus according to the story, originated
our present use Of the word etiquette"

Domestic Girl Is Happy.

The girl whose sphere Is set in domes-
ITCHY can find as keen a satisfaction In
doing her work to the very hest of her
ability as can her sister who achieves
college honors, fame in the literary
world. Indeed, there is something pecul-
iarly satisfying and fine and healthy
about work with the hands, BECAUSE for
one thing. 1t is generally service for 9TH
ers.
Again. the great mass Of women must
inevitably find their scope in domestic
life, and every girl. whatever her social
position may be. would be the better for
two years thorough training in house
wifery, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Therefore, If you are going through your
hopeless phase" try good honest house
work as an antidote. Work hard with
your hands and at the same time culti-
vate cheerful spirit and an interested
habit Of mind.

THE FIGHT OF STEAM
By FREDERIC ]. HASKIN.

The National Association of Stationary
Engineers will meet In Rochester to NOR
row, while the International Union OF
Steam Engineers convened at Denver
yesterday. These organizations have been
| Iaboring for years in the direction of
greater efficiency in steam engineering.
| For several years 1t looked as If
steam, perhaps the greatest benefactor
the human race has known, and which
has contributed more than any other one
mechanical force toward human progress,
was doomed to an enforced retirement
to the limbo of things which have out
lived their usefulness. After the advent
Of electricity and producer gas engineers
everywhere predicted the time when thy
would take the place OF steam, which
had a full century Of almost unchallenged
sway. 1t was sound that the electric
locomotive had many advantages over
the steam railroad engine. and that the
only hope of steam was that the cost
OF electric installation would retard the
general adoption Of electric motive power
for many years to come.
1t was also found that in marine engi-
neering as well as in factory practice
the use of steam was a wasteful and
costly method of deriving power from coal
agreed that steam was towering on the
brink of it's grave, and that shortly the
boon Of yesterday would be the forgotten
thing OF tomorrow. Even railroad preSi-
dents were wont to predict that in a
half century steam locomotives would be
as much of curiosity as the old John
Bull in the Smithsonian Institution is
today. But now II seems that all these
predictions and forecasts are to be given
the lie by steam. Some months ago the
subway company of New York found
that it's power plant, which was thought
to be large enough to meet all the re-
qurements of the system for many years
to come, already was proving inadequate
The problem of increasing the power
generating facilities of the plant be-
came a pressing one. To tear out all
the compound condensing engines Of
this plant and to substitute high
pressure turbines therefore was believed
to be out Of the question. 1t had been
demonstrated in engineering practice that
a low-pressure turbine can utilize the
exhaust steam Of non-condensing en-
CINE to great advantage, but 1t had never
been successfully demonstrated that such
a turbine could be hitched to a compound
condensing engine. The subway authori-
ties concluded to try the experiment of
installing a low-pressure turbine with a
compound condensing engine Of the re-
ciprocating type.

world in almost a century. 1t has shown
that the low-pressure turbine can derive
more power from the exhaust than was
given by the reciprocating engine. In
point Of fact. when the low-pressure tur-
bine was hitched with the compound
condensing engine, II was found there
was an increase Of 146 per cent In power
derived from given amount Of coal. In
other words. by utilizing the exhaust
steam under the old methods the power
derived from a pound OF coal may be
multiplied by two and. one-half. 1t is diff
ficult to overestimate how much this
means to the engineering world. When
such installations become general 1t will
result In q vast saving of fuel.
But with all the saving effected by the
new method of joint reciprocating engine
and steam turbine installation, which
method represents higher degree OF
energy utilization than either producer
gas or electricity can show, much yet
remains to be desired. This Is shown by
the statement that even with such a new
utilization of power as the subway peo-
pie have made more than one-half Of
the energy In the coal still is permitted
to escape into North river. IL Is lately
announced that a Russian naval engineer
has invented new process OF utilizing
all gases arising from combustion, which
make him able to convert fully 90 per
cent of the energy in his fuel into power.
The method by which he obtains this de-
sirable end is interesting in the extreme.
He FIST takes all Of the gases coming
from the furnace and cools them from
temperature Of about $500 degrees to
something like 1900 degrees. Thus
cooled, he passes the gases into a tube
with a water spray, where they again
are reduced in temperature to about $50
degrees. After thus being treated the
gases becme superheated steam and I'm

store1s is their smell, and the next
powerful is their color. Most of them
are frauds, pure and simple, and pro-
duce no effect whatever except upon
the imagination and the noStrilS Of the
users. The most common constituent
Of them all is alcohol, and the next
common probably ammonia or some
aromatic oil or extract which has the
double advantage of powerful odor
and Of producing a mild sense OF
warmth and local irritation. All of
TINS class are mild irritanis to the
SKIP and produce a light temporary
reddenlng by an increase in the
amount Of blood circulating through
the scalp; but this has about as much
effect on the hair-bulbs as the beams

that falling hair. itching scalp and
