spotIess Pictures.

One must not think to renovate is a work; take it rather as pleasure, a task to be sure, but a pleasant task. It Is really fun after all to restore to good condition some old and shabby article that lay since we have discard ed as being useless. There are many tempting opportunities through the house, and if we renovate one, 1t will but give a fresh incentive to try a hand at something more.
 How many have a pet engraving or other picture which associations have made dear but in which dust has found its wayf It's a simple matter after all to clean and put the picture in order, but many of us do not think to do it or do not know the way to go about it.
 It's the easiest thing in the world to rip of the paper in the back, take out the tacks, dust the picture, wash the glass and put it all back again, with a fresh paper pasted over the back. It is wonderful what an im- provement it will make to a room, when the clean curtains are hung and perhaps new wall paper on the walls, to have the pictures spotless as well. A little ammonia in the water will polish the glass brilliantly.

r,ver,work "a Waste of TIme,

OVerstrained faculties can never bring out the best results. Overwork is always a waste of time, and though 1t may not seem to be so at first, eventually the sad truth Is always manifested. To cut of needed recre- ation, to curtail the hours of sleep, to postpone holiday indefinitely, to re. fuse to take rest and ease and change, under the impression that thus time is saved, is always a short sighted policy and often a fatal mis. take. The time arril es when the poor, abused faculties take their revenge and refuse to serve altogether, or do in so feeble fashion as to show their deterioration.

A French newspaper has been cal. culating what various champions gain by the hour or by the mile. The gains of Andre Beaumont, the aviator. work out at almost $37 a mile. He cannot compare with the winner of the Grand Prix at Longchamps, As d'Atout, who won money at the rate of $24,0OO a minute. or $3s.400 a mile.
 Automobile driving in 1905 paid a winner. Thery, at the rate of $5s a mile, or S3,S57 an hour. The chief bi- cycle prize of France pays about $I,- 06e a mile. or from $200 to $4O0 a minute, but the tour of France for bicycles. whrein men have just cycled more than 5000 miles around France during the hot wave. only pays eS cents . mile.

PhotographIng the Sea sottom.

In France experiments have been made that promise considerable sue cess in submarine photography. A specially constructed camera was car ried down by a diver to a depth of twenty-two or twenty-three feet, and, with an exposure of half an hour, negatives were obtained which were fairly satisfactory.
 It was found that the best results were obtained by placing a blue glass in front of the lens. It is intended to have improved lenses specially con structed for underwater work in France.
 FIashlight photographs of the sea bottom during a storm have been ob- tained, This light was furnished by an alcohol lamp fed by a reservoir of oxygen. Magnesium powder was pro- jected into the flame through a tube from the shore It is thought that such fashlight photographs may be made at any depth to which a diver may .-Harper's Weekly.

Loses Life for 50 Gents.

Tn trying to win bet of 50 cents, and to prove to friends that he was a daring climber and not afraid to look down from great heights, Foster An derson started up 40-foot f1agpole at Bergenline avenue and Eleventh street.
 Anderson, who was married, and the father of three small children, laughed when he called to a party of friends:
 This is the easiest money ever mon"
 He reached the top of the pole with out apparent exertion, and then to make sure of winning his bet he stood on top of it. He lost his balance and dived to the street. His death followed a few minutes later.-New York World

Through the Lines.

The young man who had come with in an inch of being run over, said he always butted across the street that way to keep folks from finding out he was a country chap unused to city ways.
 'Tf I should hang back" he said, everybody would take me for a greenhorn, and want people to think that I at least know how to cross the street city fashion,
 But the real town man doesn't cross the street in that bulldog fash ion," said gray-haired relative. He drifts with the tide. Instead of putting through the middle of a wagon he ambles along beside 1t watching for an opening. Sometimes he is carried a block out of his way in the midst of vehicles before he finds a way out, but he Is never in danger because he is going with the current So if you want to be set down as a man who knows the life of city streets, don't break through a heavy line of traffic by main force, but follow the stream and take advantage of the point of least resistance"

Bees Dust Bats From Statue.


 Two years ago bees and bats waged contest for the occupancy of the hollow form of the Goddess of Lib erty that surmounts the dome of the Texas capitol 315 feet above the ground.
 Viewed from below it appears the bees have driven out all the bats and won their right to exciusively occupy the elevated cavern.
 The bees made a hive out of the hollow head of the figure, as discov- cred by steeplejack who undertook the work of giving the young lady a fresh coat of paint.
 When he climbed upon the elevated right arm of the statue myriads of angry bees swarmed out of the eyes of Liberty and forced him to quickly abandon the job.
 Since then the bees encroached up- on the cavity of the body, where the bats had held forth. It could be seen from below that the bees drove the bats from their positions
 All the bats have disappeared from the figure and the bees are in com plete possession.

Most Curious Railway.

The Darjeeling- -Himalayan railway Is one of the most curious in the world. It is of two-foot gauge, and on account of the steepness is full of loops, curves and spirals, many of the curves having only 70 feet radius. Some of the gradients are as high as one foot in 2S. A special type of lo- comotive had to be made for it at Manchester. This locomotive was re- quired by the specifications to be able to travel on reverse curves not ex- ceeding SO feet radius, with only 20 feet length of tangent between the curves. The engine consists of Q frame supported at each end by four wheeled bogies, each of which is de- scribed as a miniature locomotive without boiler. The boiler is carried on the frame between the bogies.

The Origin of Ear.Rinus.

A correspondent writes to the PaIl Mall Gazette of London to correct a statement that the ears were not pierced for earrings till the seven teenth century. The most ancient ear rings in the museums, he says, were certainly worn in pierced ears. There Is tradition that when Sarah, Jealous of Hagar, vowed to dye her hands in the iatter's blood. Abraham saved the situation by boring Hagar's ears and letting Sarah insert silver rings, so that her VOW was fulfilled. The rings, however, lent such splendor to the girls dusky cheeks that Sarah sooE adopted them herself, and this was the origin of earrings.

Washington.-Wit even the for

In the first test of strength on reci-

trust proposal by viva voce vote. A
few scattering ayes. followed by a
roar of noes. told the story.
President Taft expressed great sat
isfaction over the result. The friends
of reciprocity accept the result as a
plain argury of what is to follow when
the vote is taken. Scores of amend
ments await to be disposed of yet
and there are still more to be intro
duced. They run the entire gamut of
tariff revision. But all amendments
will be resolutely voted down.

A PROBLEM AHEAD.

Sporting slang Of the time when
pugilist going around another like
cooper around barrel" But not many
coopers are going around barrels now
adays, says the Toledo Blade. The
trick is performed by machine
which, fed the materials, turns out the
finished product as the engineer regu-
lates the steam. Carloads of scrap
iron go into a furnace yard at one end
and Vsome out in the shape of ingots at
the other, the amount Of hand labor
being proportioned to the faith or dis
trust the management may have in
new-fangled contrivances. The bottle
machine soon may be making most
OF the common household utensils, and
there are rumors that the glass fac
tories may cease to manufacture in
candescent light globes, the electrical
companies getting their supply from a
the plant, where it won't be in the
way and won't heat things all up. Ma
chinery comes in. Skilled labor de-
parts or radically changes its way Of
working. More machinery comes. The
unskilled labor goes. Where will it
end? Invention will not, cannot be
stayed. Evolution proceeds remorse-
lessly. What is there ahead for the
painfully trained cleverness, for the
wonderful fingers of mankind?

She Has Led the Life
of Nun.

| Rome. = Princess Clothilde Bona
| part, imperial nun of the Bona
parties and widow of Prince Napoleon
Bonaparte, who was nicknamed "Plon
Plon" on account of his alleged cow
ardice during the Crimean war, died
at Montcalieri. Her son, Victor Ma
| poleon, pretender to the throne of
France, was at her bedside with Dow
| ager Queen Margherita of Italy and
DoWager Queen Maria Pia of Portu-
gal. The princess was sixty-eight
years old and member of Italys
royal house.
Ever since the fall of the French
empire Princess Clothilde had made
her home in the Chateau Of Monica
here, near Turin, which she has con-
verified into an orphanage and into a
hospital, and where she led the life
of a Sister of Mercy, devoting herself
entirely to works of charity. The only
! time that she left Moncaliere was
when her husband, who had treated
her with such cruel neglect, lay dying
at home and he passed away with his
head on her shoulder, completely re-
conciled.
She has never appeared at any court
functions since the memorable day
when after the proclamation of the
republic at Paris she drove in full
state, in an open carriage and four,
with outriders, through the streets of
Paris, and even through the turbulent
Faubourg St. Antoine, to take the train
for Italy, all the men doff1ng their hats
as she passed in token of respect, her
departure presenting striking con-
trast to that of Empress Eugene, who
fled in disguise under the care of her

been received here from Albania
that the situation there is extremely
critical Turkey has massed $4,000
troops within a days march of the
Montenegro frontier.
Charles r. Crane of Chicago, who
has just arrived at Vienna from Get
TIME after traversing Albania, de-
scribes the conditions as intolerable.
The Turks, he says, are devastating
whole districts, killing prisoners, refu-
gee women and children, burning
houses and crops, and blowing up
churches. A large body of Albanian
women and children is caught be-
tween two wings of the Turkish army
and escape is impossible.
Mr.. Crane adds that $4,000 women
and children have fed to Montenegro
and are starving there, their only
means of subsistence being boiled
grass and various roots they are able
to gather.
