 A Motor Car of Silver
 When foreign royalties come to this country they become recipients of the most valuable sample goods. The King Of Spain, when he first came here some years ago was sent. among other things a model Of a motor car made of silver gilt. This beautifully designed car was two feet in length and modelled In propor- ton. The value of the metal alone in it must have been over eI0a.
 The young King was very much taken with the model and in due course pu-. chased it. The maker woGid not at first. put a price on il. but when the Spanish monarch intimated to him that unless he did so he would send the model back. the maker admitted that the model cost him f3ea to produce. and duly rs- ceived a check for that sum.
 A very wealthy and celebrated firm sf furnshers sent models of six furnished rooms to the Kaiser when he was stay ing at Buckingham palace as the guest f the late King some years ago. Tn. dimensions of each model .oom was l. inches by eight and the furniture was modelled in proportion All the chairs, tables. bureaus, and other pieces Of fu-- riture were of antique design, and we carved In mahogany and satlnwood. Many of tho chairs In one of the model recep- ton rooms were sof Louis KY and XVI periods. and were exduisitely reproduc-d in guilt.
 The whole model took nearly thre, years to prepare. The Kaiser purchased !. for 700 gulneas.

TRIBUTE TO THE COW
First Bossy in America Came Over
 With Columbus on Second Voyage

Little do we realize the debt we owe the COW. During the ages of savagery and barbarism we find her early ances- tors natives of the forests of the Old World, says writer in the Kansas City Star. When the bright rays of civilization penetrated the darkness of that early period and man took up the march of progress he called on the COW and she came forth from her secusion and pro- claimed her willingness to share in the efforts that ultimately developed a great nation. For over 20O0 years she has shown her allegiance to man. Sharing alike in his prosperity and diversity, re- spending nobly to all that was done for her, her development has made her an idol of the people in her native land.
 Columbus recognized her merits, for she came with him on his second voyage to America in 1493, and from that time to the present day she has been a potent factor in making this, our own country, the greatest nation with the highest type of omanhood and manhood the world has ever known. her sons helped till the soil for our ancestors and moved the products of the farm to market They went with man into the dense forests of the New World. cleared them for homes, and made cultivation possible for yne coming generation, and as the march of emigration turned westward they moved the belongings of the pioneer across the sun-scorched plain and over the great mountain ranges to the new home be- yond.
 The COW is truly mans greatest bene- factor. Wind. hail, floods, and drought may come and destroy our crops and banish our hopes. but what is left the COW manufactures into the most nourish- ing and life-sustaining food, and is she not life itself to the thousands of little ones stranded upon the barren bosoms and hollow hearts of a modern mother hood? We love her for her doclity, her beauty, and her usefulness. Her loyalty has never been weakened. and should misfortune overtake us as We become bowed down with the weight of years wa know that in the COW we have a friend who was never known to falter. God bless the COW. We little realize the debt we owe her.

Railroad Flats and Others

Some of the terms used to describe apartments are mystfying to the unin- itiated,' says the New York Sun. For instance, railroad flat conveys little idea to the novice until it is explained that this special type of apartment has no private hall. The back door and the front donr both open into the public hall and the rooms follow one after the other, like cars on q railroad train. which ac- counts for the expression railroad fiat
 A "box flat is one degree up the scale, for here. while there is no entire length of private hall. there is sufficient slice taken from the bedrooms so that one may walk from the parlor to the dining room without crossing the two intermediate bedrooms. The tiny hall is boxed in, hence the name box fiat
 A "walkup' speaks for itself and is easily translated into non-elevator fiat. As a matter of fact. many of the most desirable of the older apartment houses come under the head of 'walkups.'
 A push the button is still another type which may apply to any of the others. It Is never misleading, as 1t graphically describes it's mode of en- trance.
 All these fine points of distinction can be gleaned from a days apartment hunt ing.
