PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devoted Of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as winter
resort. offers an irresistible invitation
to artists, since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting a picture on the
wall can get free board.
Y To the lovely island of Capri, with
its perennial summer, its blue grotto,
and its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles Of
red Capri wine included, is never to
be more than six francs
If any artist is too poor to pay he
shall paint picture upon some wall
space. receiving all the accommoda-
ton accorded to those paying the high
est price.
If any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated
and shall receive the amount Of his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then German
gets his fare home.

WILL BE EXPENDED WISELY
Statement Showing How the Proceeds
Of Sale Of Red Cross Seals
Are to BE Spent.

For the benefit Of the numerous or
CARNATIONS who helped to sell near
ly forty-five million Red Cross seals
last year and for the general public,
the American Red Cross and the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis have
framed definition of anti-tuberculo-
SIS work showing how the proceeds
from these holiday stickers are to be
used. The definition limits the expen-
diture Of money only for the year
ending April 80, 1915.
The definition was framed at re-
cent meeting of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis and states that the term
"anti-tuberculosis work as it relates
to the expenditure of Red Cross seal
money shall include the following ac-
tivities:
4. The construction of hospitals or
sanatoria for the care Of the tubercu-
lous.
2. The maintenance of the tubercu-
lous.
8. The provision of day or night
camps for the tuberculous; the provi-
sion and maintenance of dispensaries,
visiting nurses, open air schools, fresh
air classes, or preyentoria for the care
or treatment of tuberculous cases or
for the prevention of the spread Of tu-
berculosis.
4. The maintenance of educational
or Legislative activities which have for
their object the prevention of infection
with tuberculosis.

Inventor u the AIrbrake.


Who really invented the airbrakef
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and Of
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product OF the late George
Wrestling ouse's ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
In 1872. superseding the non-automatic
or Straight Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1869, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as in the case Of most other in
ventions, there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus,
Nine. M. Drouanet, daughter of NJ.
Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton of priority for her father. The
New York Times has letter from
State Senator William P. Fiero of
White Plains containing patent Office
declaration by his grandfather, Henry
Miller, of a new and useful improve
ment in the application of steam and
compressed air to the purpose of OPP
Grating railroad brakes" recorded jan
uary 2, 1855. Mr.. Miller was doubt
less a pioneer in the progress of air
brake invention.

The Bridal -rrousseau.

The old idea of providing brides
with score or more Of gowns, wraps
and hats has quite gone by. Even the
fashionable trousseau of today con-
tains no more than a dozen gowns, if
as many. Styles change SO fast that
by fall the gowns for the June we'd
ding, necessarily made some weeks be-
fore the ceremony, begin to look odd.
Some authority has declared that the
best dressed woman in Paris buys no
more than three new toilets each year,
but the opinion may be ventured that
she is altering her last years supply
most of the time. The vast assert
ments of lingerie have also dwindled.
Nobody provides such multitudinous
wedding outfit nowadays as used to be
required. -Leslie's.

City Of Mexico. The ruins Of an
Client cities, remnants Of dead civiliza-
lions, have fascination for most peo-
pie. Be they scientists of great re-
nown or mere mortals Of more COM
mon clay, somehow something stirs
within them at the touch Of antique
things. The average tourist seeking
surcease from the daily grind, whether
of the college lecture room or Of the
constant chase of the elusive dollar in
trade and traffic, who finds himself in
some strange city and learns that not
far off are the weather-beaten walls Of
an ancient temple, shrine or place
whose history is mystery and whose
builders are unknown, HES himself at
once to that place. He touches the
crumbling stones, traces the grotesque
figures and queer designs, and mar
vels that such things could have been
so many years before he came on
earth, perhaps even before the very
civilization of which he is a boastful
part came into existence.
Mexico is full Of such ruins as these.
In Yucatan alone there are some sew
enty or more. Approach to some of
these is too arduous to most tourists,
but, on the southernmost shore of the
republic (. lies the state of Oaxaca,
whose capital is easily accessible.
"Oaxaca City is reached from Puebla
by the Mexican Southern" according
to statement in the latest pamphlet
on Mexico, issued by the Pan-Ameri-
can Union of Washington. "The dis
lance is 228 miles and the trip takes
IL hours. It is 288 miles from Mexico
City and the same distance from Vera
Cruz. It's population is 10000. 1t was
the early home of both Porfirio Diaz,
former president, and Benito Juarez,
the patriot and national hero. Its age
makes it very attractive, but it is quite
modern in many ways, possessing
tramcars. electric lights, telephones
and other factors Of comfort. Another
feature connected with Oaxaca is the
fact that from the city the excursion
is made, about twenty-five miles to the
southeast, to the ruins of Militia, some
Of the best preserved prehistoric re-
mains Of all Mexico"
Militia is contraction or corruption
Of the word Mictlan, meaning The
place Of Death" The modern village
and the ancient ruins occupy the CEN
ter of an arid plain or valley, surround

on the highest summit of which are
