Born-to Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Haxton
of Tacoma, Tuesday, Jan. 18th, a daugh-
| ter.
F. P. Mcguire tells this one on him
self. He was on No. az the other
night, returning from Seattle and
awoke about four o'clock in the morn
ing to find the train stalled by the
snow, somewhere up in the Cascades.
Being in the last Pullman, he thought
he'd do little accommodating, so he
slipped on his Overcoat and shoes and
stepped out on the rear platform.
Just then the train lurched few feet
forward slamming the door behind him.
The night-latch was on, so our hero
found himself locked out in the cold.
The porter was taking his beauty sleep
and either couldn't hear or wouldn't
get up, so after punching the electric
bell until both thumbs were lame,
Frank climbed out into the drifts and
waded up to the head of the smoker,
before he found platform open, en-
abling him to get back inside. He says
however, that his stroll through an
eighth of a mile of snow, clad only in
overcoat and goose-pimples, was
picnic compared with being forced to
walk back between lines of grinning
passengers in the day coaches, con-
scious of the long expanse of baroness
that was showing below the bottom of
his garment. The train finally was
pulled back to Tacoma and detoured
to Pasco via Vancouver and the S.,

Not a Thunder Expert.

The masterful manner in which
some people evade an issue was men,
toned at a recent dinner when this
one was recalled by Rear Admiral
Philip Andrews:
in New Orleans one night" the
admiral said. there was a man on
the stage who offered to answer by
mental arithmetic any question that
might be asked by the audience.
Just so long as the questioner re-
manned in the expected channel the
sailing was easy, but finally one man
got beyond the bearings.
IF you please, sir" said the man
rising from bis seat, how far off can
you hear thunder"
Il can't tell you, sir" was the
prompt response of the wonder on
the stage.
You can't tell me?" responded the
man. why | thought"
Not about thunder" replied the
stage party, doing a quick piece o.
lodging. You see, am lightning

violets, carnations land such carna-
tions-fields of themD We add the
iris, the oleander, the mimosa, the Ii
lac, the gigantic aloe tout of whose
leaves rope is now made), the yellow
cassia and many, many more.
But the undisputed queen of flow
ers, the rose, beloved alike of gods
and men, is everywhere pre-emi-
nent.
Among the ancient Greeks, we are
told, the rose was also the emblem Of
silence and beauty. And what an elo-
quent silence filled with the odors of
sweet thoughts, too sweet for words;
the pure white memories Of loves kiss
es in the moonlight, the warm golden
raptures of hot Moons in southern sun
shine, the blood red hours of passion
in the pomegranate shade, that can
never be renewed OF all these, by its
thousand varying shades and colors,
the Queen Rose reminds us, and OF the
beauty that has smiled upon our path.
We have the tiny rosebud darling nest
ling in a mothers arms; the pure child
loneliness in its robes of snowy white /;
the pale blush rose of young girls
cheek at the earliest thought of love;
the shyly opening petals as the sun
first kisses move them; the coy yet
glad and golden yielding of passion
warm embraces; the red, reckless rap
ture of its full fruition; the stately
beauty of fair form and perfect out
line; and not least, for some Of US
the faded rose leaves cherished from
past that is ever present, that for us
can never die.
In the festivals of pagan Rome the
rose had an honored place. Cham
bers, couches and paths were thickly
strewn with rose leaves, and rose gar
lands crowned the statues of the gods
The Emperor Nero, of whom so many
harsh judgments have been recorded
had at least one good and gentle trait
} he loved roses. 1t is said that he
spent enormous sums on their cultiva'
ton.
The flower markets of the Riviera
are never to be forgotten sights We
must include not merely those where
foreigners go to buy few handouts
or armfuls, for their rooms, but the
public wholesale markets held in the
chill winter dawns while the visitors
are yet asleep, where dealers buy the
| fair blossoms still unopened, and pack
them off by vanloads to Germany, Aus
tria, or Russia. The making of bas
kets for this business Of expectation
is a fourishing industry in itself, ant
trains are often delayed on account o.
the large number of packages to be
| loaded.

Great Value Of Aluminium.

The conductivity of aluminium is
about 60 per cent. Of that of annealed
copper. Accordingly, an aluminium
conductor must be considerably larger
in cross sectional area than copper
conductor II the two are to carry the
same amount of current. aluminium
wire Is always coated with thin oxide
which serves as an insulator. This
insulation is enough, according to
some European manufacturers, to per-
nit of using bare aluminium wire In
the coils of magnets. AS the oxide
film is of inappreciable thickness. a
coil of the wire thus constructed
would be no bulkier, If as bulky, as a
coil wound with insulated copper
wire. H. F. Stratton, writing on this
subject in the Electrical World. states
that he has been unable to secure suf'
ficient insulation when depending
upon the aluminium oxide film as it
naturally occurs in the commercial
product In order to increase this OK,
fde, some European manufacturers
wet the coil and then heat it.

HYPNOTIC BURIAL IS HALTED
Philadelphia Mesmerist Who Had Pri-
Vate Graveyard" Behind House
Arrested.

Philadelphia DAudenriandr

rested on a charge OF practicing hypno-
tism contrary to law, just as he was
about to bury an unconscious subject
to demonstrate that the latter could
be kept in a hynotic state for forty
eight hours.
The grave had been dug in D'Auden-
riand's back yard and an elaborate
coffin had been sent there from an UNI
dertaklng establishment. A large
crowd of neighbors had seen the hyp-
notist place his subject under a spell,
wind the man in a shroud and place
him in the coffin. The hypnotist was
screwing on the lid when the police
arrived and made him bring the sub
ject back to life

Save Steps and strenath.

There is great and continued waste
of human energy through the making
of false and unnecessary motions. The
founder of a household experiment
station has a favorite illustration OF
the average woman's waste OF steps in
the making of cup of tea. He OBJ
served one cook, in large kitchen
first cross the room to distant pan
try to get her tea caddy, then go to
the shelf over the stove to get her
teapot, cross the room again to get a
strainer from the table drawer. The
spoon for measuring she sought in a
dresser which was located in another
corner and the cup which gagged the
quantity of water was carried from
the dining-room china closet
This seems an extreme example. but

DR.. DUMBA, AUSTRIA'S NEW ENVOY

Dr. Constantin Theodore Dumba,
the new ambassador Of Austria and
Hungary, arrived in Washington
few days ago.
The new ambassador was born In
Austria. June II, 1856, and has been
in diplomatic service since 1879. His
last diplomatic post was a minister
in Stockholm, Sweden where he be-
came acquainted with many Amer

DR.. Dumba inherited the rich es-
tate OF his uncle. DR.. Nicholas Dumba.

will play as important a part IN
Washington's social life as his prede-
cessor, Baron Hengelmuller. The
new ambassador is married, but his
wife will not follow him until next
month. 1t is considered probable he
