But afte. this is done the effectiveness of this precau- ton should be tested by allowing the weight of the car to settle gently against the right wheel and the curb Release the brake slightly and let the car move forward and inward until the wheel is forced tight against the curb and will so no farther. Then, set. the emergency brake.
 When the car is facing up a hill, bring it within 8 inches or two feet of the curb and then cut the wheels to the right the maximum amount and allow the car to back gently until the right rear wheel touches the curb and prevents the car from going any farther-Moter Print

In leaving car on hi1Iy street it is always best to head the wheels toward the curb at 8. slight angle so that if the brake should give way or some urchin should release 1t. the curb will offer enough resistaa~e to keep the car from coasting down hill.

KEEPING UP WITH
THE sTY1.Es.

t Lake the dressnaker. the uailliner. and the tailor, the builders of nnoto, cars are, to-day striving to follow the public taste in styles; to keep pace with the demand of the Amert-. can people for something a little dif- ferent. a little better, a little more advanced than what has gone before.
 Though the changes in motor. car styles have been less radical than ili dress. they have nevertheless been marked during the past few years. In the first decade in motor car con struction we had the blunt body. a good many abrupt angles and corners and very little beauty of line. Grad uaIly the lines became more graceful. the dash grew smaller and in place of the blunt, awkward, homely mod el of a few years ago we have eyolv- ed a type Of motor vehicle that is graceful in appearance from any point of view.
 The American people do not want and will not buy car that is ex- treme in any respect, which makes it type ideals of European builders
 What is likely to be stylish a. year or two hence2 That's a hard ques- ton to answer; in fact, it is difficult to look more than six months ahead. It may be that an early development will bA a body built so. that the top, when down, and spare tires, will be carried out of sight. giving an un- broken line all around the car.

AMERICAN HORST DoOOfED.

American manufacturers of auto mobiles will shortly be called upon to replace the horse, almost over night says MT. E. L. Pierce
 For some reason American farmers have neglected the propagation of the horse and mule sufficiently to meet the requirements of this country and when foreign buyers come into the cid and buy up our horse and InasA. flesh right and left at such tempting figures that the farmer can not re- fuse to sell, but one thing will re- suit. great scarcity of mules and horses
 Until a horse is four years old he is of little use for driving or hauling. Americas population of colts is al together too small, and with the far mer and breeder selling off dam and sire to take part in Europe's great war where horses are shot down as fast as men, America must soon turn absolutely from horse transportation to the automob bile.
 This will benefit the farmer. The horse has always been more or less of a losing proposition as work or no work. he must always be fed, where ate diet of gasoline, requiring to be fed only while 1t is working. A horse will eat a ton of hay in three months. Driving every day he can possibly average forty miles a day, or 3, 500 miles for each ton that he eats

Napoleon and the Balloon.

When Napoleon was young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness
the ascent Of q balloon in the Champs
dc Mars. He entered, unperceived,
the inclosure which contained the bal
loon, which was then very nearly full
and about to ascend. and requested
the aeronaut to allow him to enter
the car. The request however was
refused. the reason given being that
the feelings Of the boy might embar-
rass the aeronaut.
Though I am young. fear neither
the powers Of earth nor Of the air!"
Bonaparte is reported to have ex-
claimed.
On being requested to retire. the
little cadet, enraged at the refusal.
drew his sword and. Sitting the bal.
loon in several places. destroyed tho
apparatus which had been construct.
ed with infinite labor and ingenuity.
Such was Napoleon's first and last
attempt to ascend in balloon.

TWO VARIETIES OF PUREE
May Accompany Meat or Form tho
Foundation Of Most Sub
stantlal Soup.

A puree may be either an accom-
paniment to meat or form the founda-
tion of a substantial soup. Whatever
vegetable Is turned into puree must
first be we'll boiled, then passed
through a sieve-a work demanding
patience, It is true. The puree VIII
then have little butter and season
ing added to It, cream or the yolks
Of eggs. or some gravy sauce, accord
ing to what meat 1t accompanies.
A puree of chestnuts accompanies
veal or poultry and requires the ad-
dition of little thick cream. A puree
of white haricot beans accompanies
roast mutton.
A puree of sorrel or spinach, or
both combined. is really incest when
served without meat and placed In In
dividual cocottes or In shells OF fried
bread. After passing the spinach, ETC.,
through the sieve 1t is beaten up with
little butter and cream and literally
seasoned. II should not be boiled
more than Just enough to cook 1t ten
der, and then 1t will keep its color
and flavor.
Cucumbers, marrows, turnips, art-
chokes and pumpkins all make dell
cious purees, sweet or savory. Anoth'
er delicious puree Of small white
onions and new potatoes makes q
dainty dish. II sufficient cream is add
ed, and the mixture is put into small
china dishes and Drowned on top.
The puree destined for serving
alone or as an accompaniment to
meat must be kept thick, yet smooth;
the puree that forms the foundation
Of soup is heightened out to make q
sufficient quantity by adding to 1t
meat or vegetable stock, and milk or
cream, or milk or eggs, etc. The eggs
and cream should not be put In until
after the puree is cooked and taken
from the fire.

Of gold to keep the dome in perfect re-

gold leaf. The jeweled diadem that
crowns this marvellous temple is val

common people of Burma; and the
gold leaf reserve fund in the temple

Ciceros brother sustained q siege by

end Of June to the middle Of Septem.
Der; sorties and relief were vain; the
town capitulated under the most hon.
