Mrs. NJ. A. Hanna, widow of the late United
States senator from Ohio
Mrs. Hanna's life since the death Of her

illustrated how great is the latitude of life
open to the modern wealthy widow in con-
trast to the clrcumscribed existence of the av-
erage widow of prominent official of GEN.
fury ago. who, upon the death of her husband,
was wont to retire to his plantation or country
seat and live in the utmost quietude if not in
actual seclusion. After the death Of her hus-
band Mrs. Hanna lived for time in fash
ionable hotel in Washington. Then she built
a large house and occupied it for time, later
disposing of 1t to prominent army officer.
Next she had special apartment arranged to
her order in one of the largest of the new no.
tells in New York, even providing special
kitchen for Maggie" her Jewel" of a cook.
Then desiring change, she hit upon the idea
of her present program of life, which calls for
an extended sojourn in Europe each spring
and summer and a winter residence in Wash

rooms each in a fashionable apartment house.

CURRENT WRECKS A BRIDGE
Twenty-Scven Big 1imbers Are Cut
Through In One Day by Aid OF
Electricity.

One Of the most ingenious uses to
which electricity was ever put was in
the wrecking Of bridge over the Wa
bash In Indiana.
This bridge had been purchased by
the county authorities, who intended
to replace it by steel structure erect
ed on the old piers and abutments
The owner agreed to remove the
bridge In 80 days.
The chief difficulty lay in the short
time agreed upon for the removal of
the bridge. Several wreckers to whom
the matter was submitted declared
that 1t would be impossible within 30
days to pull down the old bridge with
out injury to the piers.
The structure might be blown up
with dynamite, but the explosion
would also destroy the piers. Were it
fired, the heat would crack and injure
the masonry Of the bridge. The 80
days expired, and an extension of one
week was granted.
The owner was at his wits end,
when he CHANGED upon an electrician
who proposed, not to blow up the

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce tho
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence Of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is moro
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable, Calumet keeps Indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

Bell Must Be Tuned.

The general impression is that the
tone of bell is largely a matter OF
accident, but this is not So A bell
must be tuned the same as a piano
or any other musical instrument. Ev.
cry bell has five sounds, which must
blend together in perfect harmony,
and this is accomplished by shaw
ing down certain parts until the de-
sired harmony is secured. In tho
event Of shaving too deep the bell is
not injured, but the tuning operation
is prolonged, as other parts must be
operated on and cut away to CORE
spending degree.

REVIEWS ANTIQUE WAsHsTAND
for Fifty Cents and Buys II
Back for $50.

An elderly Long Islander once at
tended an auction of old furniture.
Among the articles for which bids
were asked was heavy marble
topped washstand. The Long Island
er bid ten cents for it, and as he was
the only one who spoke the wash
stand was knocked down to him
rather to his dismay, as he had to
have it conveyed to his distant home.
For several years this ten-cent antique
was an occupant Of the barn, its mar
BILE top being removed and the interior
Of the stand serving as receptacle
for cans of paint.
One day a clerk from furniture
store in the neighborhood called at
the Long islanders and accidentally
caught sight Of the unappreciated
washstand. He made some inquiries
concerning it, and eventually pur-
chased it for so cents. The clerk took
his purchase to the store, gave it a
thorough renovating and it became a
handsome piece of hardwood furni-
ture, the marble top adding the fin
ishing touch. Not long after this
transformation the elderly Long
