good. Up to the fifth inning. the Bloc

Special mention must be made of the
work Of Carrie Nation. who covered

batting.

A pr;ro. Vino can Daree.

Prince George of Servia is an In
trepid dancer. 1t seems that etiquette
forbids the cessation of dance while
his royal highness is on the floor. Re
Gently the prince outdid himself. THE
dance went on until the majority of
the dancers presented a lamentable
sight" according to the report of
foreign correspondent. Half fainting.
they ran after the prince regardless Of
step or time and oblivious Of all but
the risk of being trampled on or dash
ed against the wall" The prince ig-
nored timid remonstrances. He shout
ed to his friends: Never give In! Show
your mettler' He ordered the orches-
ira to double the time. At last the
conductor feigned sickness, and the
music stopped. Next day many Of
the guests were confined to bed, too
exhausted even to partake of food.
Prince George went for ride on a
spirited animal and complained to
comrade of the little opportunity for
adequate exercise to be found in Bel
grade.

When you wish to be away from
home for few days and there Is no
one to water the house plants the sim
pie device shown here will help to
solve the difficulty.
Just before leaving water the plants
thoroughly. On box or old chair in
some suitable place set a very large
pail or the wash boiler filed with wa
ter. On the door round the box ar
range the pots OF plants.
From n piece of unbleached muslin
tear strips long enough to reach from
the bottom of the inside of the pail to
each fowerpot. Fasten all the strips
together at one end and attach to the
fastened ends a weight of some kind
heavy enough to sink them to the bot
tom OF the pail. Then spread out the
strips of muslin all round the rim Of
the vessel and lead them to the plants,
one strip to each pot, where nail or n
small stone will hold the end In place.
In a few minutes the water will work
its way up the strips, just as kerosene
runs up the wick In a lamp, over the
edge of the vessel and down to the
plants and will, continue to distribute
the water drop by drop as long as any
remains In the pail.

GERMAN ARMY STALE.
An English Critic Calls II overtrained
and Out Of Date.

An English Critic Calls II Overturned
and Out Of Date.
The London Times has been publish
ing thoughtful series of expert ar
ticles on the German army maneuvers
and remarkable conclusions are reach
ed. The army Is declared not to equal
the repute wherein 1t is commonly held.
The new German naval enthusiasm is
damaging In its effect upon the army.
and the popular navy is now attracting
officers more than the army. whose
development has been starved by sheer
lack OF funds. The nation, moreover.
Is declared TO be becoming less military
and more commercial than formerly.
The corps officers are less simple in
their life and tastes and less exclusive
ly professional than of old. Commerce
is beginning to attract the class that
hitherto regarded only the army as a
career for gentleman.
The army appears to have trained
itself stale. The ceaseless round OF
intensive drilling has reduced 1t to a
machine. while individuality, freshness
and Initiative are crushed out. Secure
in its self confidence the army thinks
there can be no difficulty in carrying
out military operations which the ar
mics of other peoples have found i'm
practicable. The cavalry Is said to be
equipped with out of date material and
to have become slow and Ineffective.
The methods of firing In vogue appear
so inferior that the army can make no
pretensions to measure itself against
the French army apart from numbers
and confidence. Its high state of or
ganizatiOn does not present signs Of
superiority over the best foreign mod
els. and In some ways 1t does not rise
above the level Of the second rate.

POSTAL REFORM.
a Movement to Abolish the Use az
Postage Stamps.

a Movement to Abolish tho Use az
Postage Stamps.
Proposals have been made to postal
authorities In Europe that postage
stamps be done away with. wholly or
In part. No one who knows what the
mail traffic OF a large commercial con-
Germ is will wonder at the dissatisfac-
ton with the present system. The en-
tire time of one clerk frequently is re-
quired and In some concerns several
persons are occupied In placing the lit
tie oblongs OF gummed paper ON en-
velopes and packages.
An experiment already has been
made in Bavaria OF postmarking large
eonsignments at the postofflce, the OPP
Grafton being carried out by machin-
cry and no stamps being used. In this
way an enormous expense for print
Ing. cutting and FASTING paper stamps
has been avoided. and no affixing Of
stamps has been necessary. But II Is
suggested that this method Is crude
and that something yet more saving
of time and labor might be devised.
A meter resembling a gas or water
meter could be attached to each large
commercial house. and the mailing
matter could be passed through It, The
registry of the amount would be auto
matte. and the postal authorities could
read the meter once month and col
lect the amount due them. Different
meters could be had for first, second
and third class matter.
Certainly some method as this seems
far more consistent with the spirit Of
the age than our present laborious and
time honored way OF doing. We have.
of course. provisions for avoiding the
stamp nuisance for some matter. but
probably they could be extended and
bettered. Chicago Tribune.

Machine Made Glass.


For long time 1t was thought impos-
sible that window glass could be made
by a mechanical process, but the inge-
nuity of American manufacturers over
came all obstacles. and this kind Of
glass is now made, In all sizes and
thicknesses, by an improved process.
Such glass cannot be manufactured by
pressure. because the surfaces thus
produced are imperfectly transparent.
The method of allowing the molten
glass to fall through narrow slit was
also tried without success, for the sur
faces became striated. The process of
dra wing by lifting the molten glass I'm
sheets was finally adopted. But this
required many ingenious devices to
prevent the glass from contracting into
.columnar or cylindrical forms. All
these difficulties have now been over
come, so that 1t is no longer necessary
to produce transparent sheets of glass
solely by the old blowing methods

hysterical with fright. she called to
him and chafed his hands feverishly.

she fell to chatting Hartley's hands.
1t was a long and arduous task to
remove the debris without injury to
the prisoners beneath. The work was
doubly long owing to the fact that
what few natives had not fed to the
desert were lowering over their ruined
adobes with walls of "El terremoto!
El terremotor' so that the storekeeper
did most Of the work himself.
Long before their rescue Hartley had
recovered his senses and by combin-
ing their two handkerchlefs Eleanor
had bound the wound in his head that
seemed to be his only injury. 1t was
twilight when they reached the street.
a quiet, southern twilight, with just
the edge of great full moon coming
up over the edge Of the desert.
As soon as it was possible Eleanor,
with Hartley on guard, set out for
camp. She was greatly disturbed over
her brother, though the natives assured
her that the shock was not serious
where there were no buildings.

bandit with his bandaged forehead.

Then" he went on eagerly. don't
you think that two such old friends
could safely care for each other and

Eleanor did not seem so much aston

might warrant. But she blushed deep

''But you don't know me, and don't
know YOU" she said.
"Well. I'm an architect" he answer
