ASPHALT PAPER PIPES.


 (Daily Consular and Trade Reports.)
 Numerous advantages over pipes of other materials are claimed for the asphalt-paper pipes that are being in- troduced in Austria. Originally the paper pipes were employed for elec- tric-cable conduits, but other uses have now. been found for them, and the makers assert they can replace irons steel, copper and clay piping for all purposes except the conveyance of hot fluids, concentrated acids, and pe- troleum products.
 The pipes are made from special kind of asphalt paper of German manufacture (the paper made in Aus tria3 not being wide enough), are ex- ceedingly light in weight compared with metallic or clay piping, and, in addition, are flexible to a. slight de- gree. They are not affected by sud- den changes in temperature, nor do the stray currents of electric-tranway systems cause eIectrolysis of buried mains.
 The patents covering the process and the machinery of making the pipes are owned by the Anglo-Aus- trian< bank of Vienna; application has been made for American patents on both. Up to this time no maA chine-made pipes have been produced as the machinery has only recently been perfected. A small sample of handmade pipe will be loaned to i'm terested American firms by the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com merce, Washington.

BALANCING YOUR FEATURES

If your features are heavy or coarse. don't make the mistake of drarwing back your hair and thus showing them further into prominence. Don't either. make the mistake of wearing iininu- tive ornaments close to the face. or small beads or fine chains aoout the neck.
 The girl in this picture has large features I do not mean to say that her ~features are not pretty. I con cider them decidedly so, but she has 1t in her power to look wonderfully pretty or extremely plain. See now nicely she has balanced her nose by bringing out @. little twist of hair over her forenead how che width of her mouth is ba1auced by the ehair loosely arranged at the sides, and how nicely the moulding of her chin is emphasized by the beads she is wearing. The fact that the beads are so heavy brings out the delicate lines of her face without throwing into evt- dence the 1argeness of each feature
 The girl with large features should wear large hats and hzring. fluffy. ef- fects about her neck. The new bead chains are very becoming to the girl with large features because while they are made Of beads of varying sizes the main note is largeness.
 The small featured girl can wear small hats, small fine chains about her throat. and even close htting col- lars. The new hats seem to hawe been designed especially for her, but there are plenty of fashionalole hats mod erately large that are becoming to those of large features
 whether your features be small or large. your mode of haardreestng is something you must decide for your self Take time and study each fea- fure separately with each style of ar ranging your hair There is always a lone best style. When you have found it, stick to it. varying it ap- propriately for day. evening and spe-

PoKER PsYcHo1oGY.

Cleveland Plain DeaIer.)
 There is a nliddIe-aaed attorney in Cleveland who is an eloquent speaker, a good story teller, a. fine lawyer and well, an awfulIy good poker player. This attornay got into a little game with a few friends in New York the other day, says our informant. With him was a Gothamite who said very little, but played his hands for all they were worth. Finally, the Cleve- land attorney opened a pot for $5. and the New York man raised it ten. The others dropped out, and watched to see if the Judge lwe'ns call him judge) would stay fsss.s,s a-s
 The judge looked at the chandelier and said:
 Did I ever tell you the story about Tom Keller over in our town 2'f
 Lets hear what you are going to do about this pot before you start a story" said the New Yorker, ner- vouSly.
 rom was a lawyer and a joker. He was the quickest man with an an- swer ever met. He--''
 Never mind. What are you going to do about my raise ?''
 Don't interrupt me. Tom and the lawyer finished his story It was peat 1t here. Everybody laughed e5- cept the New York man. He repeated, Well, what are you going Co do about my raise 2''
 Pardon me. see it. and draw three cards.''
 The Manhattan man stood pat and bet $25. And the Cleveland man called him and showed a pair of Jacks The New Yorker had busted flush and said it wasn't good poker. "But how could you call me on pair of jacks" he grumbIed.
 Easy. Your first bet puzzled me. I didn't know whether you had a good hand or a four-hush. But told a good story and you didn't laugh. That show ed that you. weren't sitting comfort ably behind that hand. even if you had backed 1t with a, raise. If you had laughed at my story, I'd have passed. But y0u looked so solemn and worried that backed my Jacks See ?'s

SPIDER WEBS NET
 PARAGUAY ROADS
Travellers Must Open Their Way Along Highways With Cutlass
 Or Stout Stick.

The roads of Paraguay are about five yards wide throughout, and the trees meet overhead at a, height of some eighteen feet, thus forming tunnel of very uniform dimensions, says the Wide World Magazine. In the clear parts of the tunnel-that is,l where it is not choked up with the giant nettIe-it is full, from roof to ground, of enormous spiders webs stretching clear across the road, the big trees usually being cI1osenl as an- chorage and the total clear span be- ing thus more like eight yards than five.
 The main cables or framework of the nets are composed of five or six strands of thick yellow web, and are almost as strong as cotton thread The rest of the net is made up of single and double strands. of the same stout ma terial, which is gas sticky as it is strong. Every yard or so one of the nets extends across ones path, making it necessary to hold a. cutlass or a fairly stout stick at arms length in front as one walks.
 The makers of these troublesome but picturesque obstructions are large highly co1ored, gaudy looking spiders with bodies that look as if they were about to explode. they are so blown out and glossy.

 done.
 You know. at least you might have Your voices somewhat 1owerd the That every little grace you gave Your hands faint shake or batting Your every sympathetic look

 book,
 Were much to me-alas, how much. You might have seenNperhaps you How all of these were steps of hope On which rose in joy and awe, Up to my passions lofty scope; How after each. a hrmer tread I planted on the slippery ground, And higher raised my venturous head Ano ever new assurance 1ou1o-
 Maybe without a further thought. It only pleased you thus to please, And thus to kindly feelings wrought You measured not the sweet de-

 Have thought how far had to fall. And thus when fallen. faint and
 bruised,

rHE eNoMEs eHERRY FEEAsr.
By Virginia vale.o


 Once upon a time Farmer Brown hung a sign up in his cherry orchard. It read: saGnomes, help yourselves. z
 That may seem a very strange thing to do, but Farmer Brown kneW the little gnomes although he had never seen any of them He knew them, because last year they had helped him pick his cherries when his son had been sick and he didn't have any money to hire one to pick them They had come in the night and filled the boxes and baskets, then they had car ried them into the barn so they would not get wet.
 Farmer Brown knew it was getting ready to rain. and that would make the cherries soft and they would not keep. He had tried very hard to get them all picked but although he got up early and worked late he could not pick them all
 The Gnomes knew he wanted to sell all that he could, and that he had very little money, as 1t had beenpa bad year for everything, so they had help ed him and the farmer was very done much better and he had more money He was determined the Gnornes should have feast Of cher ries. So he hung up the sign on the trees.
 The fat Gnome had gone by in the morning and read the sign and came back to tell the others the good news, so that night they planned they would have the feast. It. was bright moon light and they swarned over the trees picking and eating as fast as they could How good they were. those big, juicy cherries and how they ate.
 When they had eaten all they wanted they picked two large baskets to take home with them for they knew thefarnl- CT would not care if they did. When they had picked all they wanted for themselves the generous Gnome said: Let's pick all the cherries for Farmer Brown, you know 1t doesn't take us very long and 1t would take Farmer Brown a day or more
 So they went to work with. will and in a little while they had them all picked. When Farmer Brown woke the next morning and looked out at his cherry tree, not a cherry could he see.
 We'll he said. q didn't think the Csnomes would do that wanted them to have what hey could eat. but I did not hink they would be mean and take them all.Y
 He walked out to the orchard and there he saw the cherries all picked and covered with cool leaves. Then he was sorry he had thought they had taken them for themselves

HIs MOTHER WANTS HIM
 TO WED A RICH GIRL

Dear Miss Libbey:
 q am a. girl of twenty with good position in drug store. A young man whose folks are very wealthy has been calling on me quite frequent Iy, but never asks me out. I was told that his folks would never recog- nize e girl as their son's sweeth ear t who was not as wealthy as they. I asked him about it, and he admitted that was true According to that, he would never propose marriage to me- Am I right or wrong? I like him, but would not care to waste my time.
 EHE1IIEN If a. young man is deeply snitten with nice girl, his eloquent plead ngs with his folks would result in their taking her to their hearts and loving her for the som's sake tbough she were as poor in purse as the pro- verbal church mouse.

 Who dces not know of romantic girls who carry their notions alto gether too far? The girl of sweet six teen is ready to fall in lowe with Q poet who signs to his rhymes the name Of Paul Roseland. She wouldn't even talCe the trouble to read a line by John Hanks or Peter Dun-
 In her day dreams Paul is all that is delightful. If she hears that the three young men are anxious to make her acquaintance. she whispers to the one who informs her of the fact:
 T wouldn't mind meeting Ar. Rose land. but really, don't think the others would interest me
 The young man who has a. tooth breaking name often has a hard time to induce the girl of his heart to share it with him. She may De ever so fond of him, but the thought of going through life with such a name as Mrs. Schretzheiger staggers her It IS a good proof. of her love if she permits him to lead her to the altar. There are young men who have been fool ish enough to change their names at the urging of a pretty sweethe art Others have been manly enough to assert themselves by saying: If you don't care for my name. you don't care for the bearer Of tt.

 Where there are few people unlxind enough to joke over an old name, there are thousands of sensible peo- pie who would not. If that is all there is about a young man to dis like, or to feel annoyed about, wife has much to be thanl1ful for. The best of men the world over have re- sponded to the humblest of names. It's the young man himself a girl needs to admire, not his name John Hank probably has more gurnptfon than men of howery names. It's the man, not his name thar counts
 The girl who weds a man for his very fancy name seldom gets much more than that He's most likely d dandy too proud or to tlazy to work If she has to earn her own living. no one gives her favor because she's Mrs Roseland amy more than if she was Mrs John Hanks.
