WHY THE FLYING MACHINE
NEVER FLIES
WHY

Nothing in the recent history of
aviation, both in this country and
| abroad, is so disappointing, notes
Paris Cosmos, as the failure of the
flying machine to fly. IF flying
machine could fly" to quote our con-
temporary, there would be some ba-
sis for the great expectations of the
layman on the subject of aviation. Of
course, no flying machine really flies
at all. Notwithstanding the confirmed
popular impression that the Paul
hans, the Wrights and the Bleriots
actually fly through the air in their
flying machines. - The explanation of
the paradox adds that expert on
aviation, Mr.. H. Massac BUST, rs 10
be found in the point that the fixed
planes must give way to the Tapping
wings before the true flying ma
chimes arrives That is, there is in
existence today no such thing as
flying machine, although it seems
quite impossible to make the man in
the street realize the fact. The
brothers Wright, Lilienthal and others
have proved that under certain very
favorable conditions soaring feats are
possible, but when it is proposed to
employ motive power for imparting
motion to the wings we come up
against a proposition which nature
tells us shall never be solved by man"

SOME USES OF SOAP.

A bar of common yellow soap will
stop a mouse hole effectually; make
bureau drawers and windows which
are inclined to stick work smoothly;

Quarter of a barr and dissolved in
hot, strong borax water, it will clean
plated silverware; let silver soak for
two or three hours in the solution
and little rubbing will be needed.
Combined with brown sugar, soap
will bring a painful swelling to a
head and draw out a splinter from
under the finger nail. Rubbed on a
nail, it will prevent the wood through
which it driven from splitting. This
is often used by carpenters, who drive
the nail through bar of soap before
using. Mixed with stove blacking. it

GOOD MANNERS.

1t is a mark of prudence to save
ones best clothing for occasions
when it will be well to wear II. me
wearing of it every day soon reduces
it to a second best level, and leaves no
first best for the occasional wear. But
manners are different. If the best
manners are saved for grand occa-
sions, they will show marks of stor-
age and be scarcely worth using. The
best manners should be used all day
and every day. They are none too
good for constant use. Bring up a
child to observe the ordinary usages
of good society, to be careful of the
feelings and rights of others, never to
intrude, never to listen, never to tat
tie, always to consider others before
itself, and show it by unfailing exam
pie that such behavior IS expected;
and those manners will never depart
from that child

TO CLEAN THE PIANO CASE.

A highly polished case that has
grown dull and withholding as well
as finger marked, can be safely
washed with a pure white soap and
water, and made to look like new.
Have ready a basin of tepid water, q
piece of pure white CASTLE soap and
several pieces of old cotton flannel.
With one of the pieces of cloth apply
the soap to the case by first wetting
the flannel then rubbing it across the
soap, then applying it to the case,
rubbing over only small space at
time, then wet the same place, re-
moving all the soap, and follow this
with the dry cloth. rubbing the weed
thoroughly, rubbing quickly, to give
a polish. Or, the polish can be given
with a soft channels skin. The work
must be done rapidly; the soap must
be left on the wood as short time as
possible, and for this reason but a
small space must be wet at time.

PANAMA HATS.

At one time good Panama hats cost
$500, but these are not now made. A
hundred and ten dollars seems to be
about the highest in the present day.
The rich men of South America
wear hats as fine as this, but ordinary
mortals have to be content with
specimens which cost at the most but
ten or fifteen dollars. Still. these are
very fine, and are practically ever
lasting, for they can be cleaned again
and again.
1t is curious that they are called
Panama hats, for they do not come
from there. The finest are obtained
from Payta, Peru, and Guayauuil.
They are made of the fibre of the
pineappleplant, and are as soft as silk,
ana so phable that they can easily
be folded up and carried in the mock.

heated condition of the blood, but
one must learn which of the many
varieties best agrees with ones sys-
tenn. If not properly digested then
the acid remains to cause ferment
and billiousness which is worse than
the pimples and harder to cure. With
some persons the acid of lemons is
almost a necessity; with others it is
equally almost a poison. So a woman
should consider the question seriously
and note which and what kind of
fruit agrees with her system.
If fresh fruit that is acid is eaten
without either sugar or cream it will
be found more helpful in clearing the
complexion. For example, peaches
will curdle milk, showing how the
acid acts. Strawberries are almost
sure to cause an eruption unless they
are perfectly ripe, clean and taken
without either sugar or cream.

HEAR MASS DAuY-

When the priest on the altar offers
sublime sacrifice the angels stand be-
side him, and all around the altar are
arranged choirs of heavenly spirits
who raise their voices in honor of the
Victim Who is inundated! Wherefore
if thou dost unite thy prayers during
mass to those of the angels they will
together with them pierce the clouds.
and will obtain a favorable hearing
more certainly than if thou didst offer
them at home or alone. Let us do
what in us lies to hear mass daily.
that our prayers may be carried up to
heaven in the angels pure hands.-St.

WAS THROWN
FROM BUGGY TO
HIS Death
FATHER OF LOUIS GAGNE HAS
NECK BROKEN IN ACCI-
DENTAL MANNER

The following article is taken
from the Reno Journal of yesterday
and gives an account of how N.
Gagne, father of Louis Gagne of
this city, met his death Tuesday.
Louis Gagne left yesterday morning
for Fallon to be present at the
funeral of his father. The article
follows:
FALLON, Dec. 20-Within two
miles of the lonely homestead on
which he had toiled for years in
order to convert it into a paying
farm, N. Gagne was thrown out of
buggy this evening and instantly
killed.
The accident happened so quickly
that the only witness is unable to
explain how it came about, but so
far as can be learned. the details
were as follows:
After spending the day in town
marketing, Gagne entered his single
rig and drove rapidly home in an
endeavor to arrive at the homestead
while it was yet light He came
upon large freighting team on the
highway and the freighter turned
partly out while Gagne turned to
his side. Whether the speed was
so great that he miscalculated OF
whether the horse swung in sud-
denly is unknown, but Gagne's
horse collided with the leaders and
was sent into the fence. A large
post suddenly stopped the rig and
Gagne was hurled through the air
with frightful force. His neck was
broken by the fall and he was dead
when picked up.
Gagne leaves a wife, who went
with him into the desert to try to
make home on the reclamation
project.
