IT seems there are plenty of ways #
making money in this big old world #
we only caught one of them at the right
time and the right place.
For instance, Nebraska farmer has just
departed for Europe with the idea in mind of
teaching the dairymen of Europe that you
can get more milk from your COW if YOU
will only play soft dreamy, sentimental
music near her during milking time. Ameri-
lean experts appear to be convinced of the
worth of his discovery and he is planning 10
make all sorts of money by convincing Eu-
repeans.
Again, in Kansas there is man who has
the honor of being the only known freckle
farmer His occupation consists of trans
planting bits of skin from one part of the
body to another and grating fancy desigos
and images in the process. They are claimed
to be more permanent than tattooing.
The extraction of grease in queer ways
has proven a lucrative means of support
to several companies in English towns. In
1912 the town of Bradford, England, cleared
between 100000 and $25o.O00 from the
selling of grease recovered from the city'g
sewage
In horse tails there appears to be consid-
erable profit, too, judging from the shiploads
of them that come in from China Their
price varies from 80 cents to 81 a poun1,
and the hairs. which are ca refully arranged
according to length and color, are used n
the making of brushes and haircloths.

Burglar Proof
Glass in Paris.

- REAT strides have been made IN

covery was due to Its tremendous
need, for Paris, of all cities in the world,
seemed to be most at the mercy Of that
particular form of highwayman who fire.
quents the boulevards at night, breaks the
windows of jewelry stores, and makes away
promptly with the valuables.
1t is claimed that this burglar proof glass
is made by secret process, though, of
course, it is admitted that its thickness is
one of its first essentials. 1t is from one
half to an inch thick and is able to resist
hard blow, aimed by strong man, from a
fifteen pound iron handle. Ordinary glass
would have been shattered by blow less
than one-tenth as heavy.
Much is expected from this invention In

stately gondola, built after the best
Venetian models, will be moored opposite her
door till dusk. When the penny steamboats,
and ponderous barges have ceased to trouble
the tranquility of the Seine, Cecile Sorel will
step into the first Partisan gondola, accom-
panied by few privileged friends whom all
Paris will envy.
1t will be profusely decorated with flowers
(she receives enough every night to stock
small shop) and brilliantly illuminated.
brawny gondolier (direct from Venice) will
propel the craft to the quiet upper reaches Of
the Seine, and there the guests will fill the
listening ear of night with songs and music.
No doubt Mile. Sorers example will be fol-
lowed by other grandes DANES and a gon-
dola will probably soon be as indispensable as
a motor car Perhaps the charming little
riverside town of Meuden, once famous as the
parish of the Rev. Father Rabeais, will re-
gain its lost popularity, ard the beautiful park
of st. Cloud win back some of its Napoleonic
splendor.
Gondola parties will be the great attraction
of the summer of 1913, and sentimental lovers
will have nothing to envy the "amants de
Venise."
Gondoliering will not be a cheap amuse-
ment, but then fashionable woman cannot
live in Paris, says Mile. Sorel, on less than
100000 year!

~ you like to stretch a story you hear
so it will be bit more interesting for
~ the next person that comes along?
Do you exaggerate everything for ef-
feet? They you have the latest form of in
santy-superativism
Superlatiyism,' says DR.. Max Nordau,
the famous psychologist and follower of
Lombroso, needs no explanation. 1t simply
means the mania for putting into the most
exaggerated form every story, every idea.
every feeling.
There two kinds of people who have
a natural tendency to this language of ex-
cess. They are either madmen or charlatans.
These unbalanced people receive few impress
sons, but they are tremendously strong, and
each one tries to outdo the other in startling
statements
" And while 1t is only in the extreme cases
that the tendency gets beyond the control
thousands of people go about every day in
Tic incipient stages of this malady."
DR.. Nordau claims the disease originated
in Germany, but that it Travelled the world
over in remarkably short time.

Dress Causes Sudden Hush.

Long years of training in the ballet schools
Of st. Petersburg have given Nine. Pavloya
the strength and poise and yet the sinuous
grace which makes her notable figure as she
walks through Kensington gardens early in the
morning for her daily exercise or drives or
rides
And when she appears at a social function
in the afternoon, garbed in the dress which
appears on this page, there is a sudden hush
she enters the room-a quick little move
ment of admiration and the hush of homage
" Isn't she wonderful breathes one woman
to another DO you think she wears corsets
and can that pink possibly be her skin? 1t
almost looks like it, doesn't it? But isn't she
beautifulT
And that is all Nine. Pavlova wants to be
"a devotee of beauty in the world. If she
gives the nations of the earth joy through the
creative loveliness of her dancing, sh9 wants
to carry on the mission in her own personal
appearance. And from all the reports of those
who have been fortunate enough to see her in
her new style Of gowns she is fulfilling that
mission.

Nuts Good Food;
AidCon1plexion.

r- AT Brazil nuts if you would possess
r. bright, sparkling eyes and clear, at
l. tractive complexion Such was the
statement recently made in Glasgow,
Scotland, at lecture given on dietetics.
There was time it seems, not long ago
when people declared nuts gave them indiges-
ton, that they were only for squirrels and
that they should never be eaten by human
beings in their right minds and senses But
times change Nuts are universally recognized
as a health giving food, and the wonderful
cosmetic qualities of the oil of the Brazil nut
are being slowly appreciated hy European
women.
The fat, protein, and carbohydrates which
they contain in valuable proportions are in
valuable in the rendering of clearness to the
skin, and besides being identifying they are
sustaining as well, concludes the lecturer, SO
men as well as women need not be ashamed to
use them.

Turning Paris Into Venice;
G0ndola Parties on the Seine.

Paris, where women reign supreme, even
without the vote, Mile. Cecile Sorel, the
! actress, is the unchallenged queen Of
fashion. To get an invitation to one Of
her diners intimes is the ambition of every
rising star In the world of letters, art, or
politics.
1t is matter of common knowledge that
the council Of cabinet ministers fixes much Of
its policy in her drawing room, not at the
formal meetings Of the presidency. Such is
the power of beauty, allied to wit.
But Cecile Sorel possesses above all the gift
of originality, and the means to crafty her
whims. Her pet lions, her drawing room and
ant hills, and the tame fox that follows her
about like dog have long been famous, but
when 1T suddenly struck her that there were
no gondolas on the Seine, she found as the
French say, that this was wanting to her
happiness"
Mile. Sorel does nothing by halves. She has
already left her sumptuous fiat in the Champs
Elysees, and has taken an old fashioned
mansion on the left bank of the Seine near
the Quai d'Orsay
magnificent panorama stretches out from
the upper windows On the right the fresh
enlng green of the trees in the Tuileries glad
dens the eyes; beyond, the massive Louvre.

the frailest, most delicate looking
woman are stronger than the strongest oak.
or course, bone is hollow, and that is one
of the chief reasons it resists such extreme
weights. For instance, a small bone which s
no more than square millimeter in diameter
will hold in suspension without breaking some
thirty-ive pounds, while stick of best oak of
similar width will not hold more than twenty
pounds. Indeed, the average bon, Of the aver
age man is stronger by one-half than that OF
solid oak
The principle on which our bones are con-
structed, being made hollow and consequently
stronger than if they were solid and heavier, is
the same mechanics have followed the world
over Constructive engineers employ tubes
instead of solid cylinders.
In the case of animals thousands of years
ago one reason OF their bulky frame is attrib-
uted by scientists as due to the fact their
bones were solid and added to their weight.
