COACHES AND AUTOCARS.
How the Twentieth Century Is Linked
 With tho Eighteenth.

ITO" lUS t"OuIIVSH SOpSASy uo -"iE>SS
 With the Eighteenth.
 The nineteenth century has seen the passing of the democracy of travel. With the twentieth has come q return to the aristocratic methods of the eighteenth century, when gentleman, if he wished to tour the continent, did so ill his own coach. Friends in the country inviting a lady of quality to visit them wrote asking where horses should meet her. She naturally came in her own carriage. When Miss Edge worth's heroine Helen wished to pay her debts her principal asset was her travelling chaise.
 In the youth of our own grandfa- thers the truly great, enshrined in an aristocratic vehicle, refused to descend from it even when on shipboan. The opera singer Grisi crossed the channel in her own coach. while her dutiful husband stood on deck at the coach window holding the harmless necessa- ry basin. The individual vehicle was hall mark of distinction.
 There has been an interval when peO, pie were content to herd together in railway trains, but it has already pass, ed away. We have returned to the private. the special. the personal; in a word, we have gone back to the eight eenth century. Now, as then. a gentle man travels in his own conveyance Atlantic Monthly.

THE WHITE FARM.
1t Deserved It's Name, and It Cheapiy
 Advertised Itself.

1t Deserved It's Name, and It Cheaply
 Advertised Itself.
 During q vacation spent in the north we were driven through most pros- porous country, lined with beautiful farmhouses.
 Among others we passed white farm. The house was white, the barns were white, the fences were white. Milk white cows were grazing in the fields, and snow white chickens were running upon the lawn. A huge white dog lay upon the grass. and white horse, with white harness and white carriage, was hitched to white post by white strap. The white graveed drive was bordered with white rocks. A white fountain threw up white spray, while white ducks floated upon the water beneath.
 Just as we drove by q lady dressed in pure white. with white shoes, step- ped out of the door and seated herself in white hammock.
 The whole effect was most striking and was an excellent example of ad- vertisement without expense. The cost would have been the same if no atten- tion had been paid to one color. There was no need of giving a name to that farm. 1t is known as the White farm for miles around and is one of the show places of the district.
 The same idea, of course. could be carried out with other ShadeS.-f'rO. gresSive Farmer.

AN INGENIOUS COOLI
How He Helped the Doctors During .
 Cholera Epidemic.

TOW ITO 0oip0Q tn0 DoCeoTo NuTlH9 -
 Cholera Epidemic.
 In life and death battle with cholera epidemic ill Human province. China, in which an American medical missionary was the leading figure, one of the most serious difficulties was met successfully by one of the menial hos pital coolies.
 Since every patient had to have from one pint to several quarts of distilled water with salt in 1t, the water could not be distilled fast enough. For two days the staff struggled along with makeshifts while thinking up plan to build a still for little money without the loss of time. This coolie solved the problem. In one day and at cost of less than $2 he built still which later produced twenty gallons of dis titled water every twenty hours.
 The still was simplicity itself. For cooking food the Chinese use large. flat. saucer-like pans made of iron. With one of these above and another below the coolie made a drum of gal vanized iron with hole in the side for a trough Into the lower pan hot wa ter for boiling was poured. Under heath, hot fire sent up constant steam vapor. The upper kettle was kept cool by frequent changings of cold water. The vapor from the lower ket tie, condensed on the lower surface of the cool upper kettle, dripped off into the trough. and filled bottle after bot tie with distilled water.-World's Work

WOMEN OF NIGERIA.
Their Lips Are Plugged With Wooden
 Disks So They Can't Eat Dog.

Disks So They Can't Eat Dog.
 The women of northern Nigeria are not prepossessing and in their scanty attire, with tails of grass hanging from their girdles, are sometimes really gro- tesque.
 To add further to their beauty both the upper and lower lips of these wom- en are pierced in order to admit flat, round disk of wood called the tichiak. which Is usually about the size of a half dollar. The lips of the little girls are pierced when they are seven or eight years of age, and a piece of wood inserted and worn for time un- til a larger one takes its place. the opening thus being gradually enlarged until full sized tichiak can be carried without discomfort. The object of this to prevent the women from eating dogs. which are considered the greatest delicacy by the men of the tribes. Both sexes decorate their bodies with regular designs. The chests and backs of the little girls are scarified at q very early age. When they arrive at marriageable age the girls undergo further ordeal. for two sets of parallel lines are cut both on the chest and the back. and as soon as possible after marriage the head lines are made. These consist of q number of short cuts across the forehead. extending from ear to ear, and thirteen long. slanting lines are cut on each cheek from ear to chin.

New Oil Companies.

Three new oil companies have
recently entered the field to sup
ply the demand in Lexington
and surrounding territory with
oils. The Collins Oil Company,
Springfield, Mo-, has a tank on
the ground and has been dis
tributing oil for some time. The
Wilhoit Oil Company, Knoxville,
Iowa, has unloaded a tank, but
nothing further has been done.
The Cudahy Oil Company is dis
tributing in barrel lots. No in
formation is available regarding
the intentions of the Wilhoit
Company. 1t is possible that
neither company knew of thC
others intentions of entering
this field and that the Wilho,t
Company will withdraw. The
Collins Company, no doubt, is
here to stay as they have beer
distributing with a wagon foI
some little time.
