Free Rides on q Movable Floor.

The patrons of a certain New York
cafe are treated to free ride while
they take their meals. The tables are
arranged in a large circle which re-
wolves slowly about some musical or
dancing act in the center. Those who
begin their dinner at the entrance of
the cafe may find themselves eating
their salad course in the rear. The
circle is 80 feet in diameter and is
moved by one-fourth horsepower mo-
tor at the rate of one revolution per
hour. The motion is too slow to be OBJ
jectionably noticeable to any one, but
considerable amusement is afforded by
the gradual change of location.

Graduates from Carlisle

From the popular science Monthly.
 A gayly decorated platform on which are seated the graduates, faculty, speak CT and other, invited guests; lengthy programme of music, orations and ad- dresses, probably all cut to order and sugar coated for the occasion; an award of sheepskins and a benediction-this, in brief, constitutes the stereotyped gradua- tion ceremony of most colleges and schools.
 But there is one school which has a different commencement. It Is the United States Indian Industrial school at Carlisle, Pa It's 100 students are chill dren of Americas original people, and the institution is the largest industrial school in the country.
 Graduation day is a day of proof and showing. A girl steps to the platform and curtains near the back of the stage are suddenly drawn. If she is a grad uate in nursing, other nurses step out with two patients and illustrate her talk. If she tells how washing in the home should be done, other girls are there to help her illustrate itH
 An Indian lad graduates in agricul- ture He has his charts of farm lands with plots to illustrate the methods of scientific farming. Another boy IS a plumber, and while he is explaining trade helpers are putting together bath room fixtures and sections. of heating plants.
 Dairyng from beginning to end Is de- scrbed by another boy while pretty In- dian milkniaids churn real butter and place 1t in molds for marketing. How to furnish home Is explained by an- other lad, while girls help him arrange various pieces of furniture in sectional rooms. Here is splendid house model and here is a boy telling how 1t is erected. Helping him are other carpen- ters and the house shown Is completed on the stage so far as the woodwork is concerned, even to placing lath for plas- terng and erecting the inner staircases
 Blacksmithing Is another trade taught at the Carlisle school and a blacksmith Shop Is placed on the platform. 6ev- eral pieces of curved iron and wood are boted together and wheels fastened to the ends Running gears of carriage are thus made. Another lad grasps the bellows lever of a forge and soon flames spurt upward. A smithy thrusts real irons into the fire and presently two boys are pounding out red-hot horseshoes on real anvil. Sparks fly into the air and the ring of the anvil sounds through out the building. Another lad finishes the shoes at bench vise Such Is the way Indians graduate.

"Ruhhing it Inr on Tommy

From The Worlds Work.
 The pay of the British Tommy Is so much higher than that of the c6f- tinental soldiers that the Trench and Belgian shopkeepers feel Justified in raising the prices on everything when a man in khaki comes in to buy. A civilian or a Belgian soldier can buy a can of sardines for 8 or g sous. For this same article the British pay IS sours or perhaps franc, and in some eases the difference is even greater. The sol diers are paid at regular intervals, usually every two weeks. and they can generality draw as much moey as they want providing they do not ask for more than is due them. They are paid in French money and they are good spenders. so the Belgian and French shopkeepers reap rich harvest.

War Children of Paris
From Cartoons Magazine.

How beautiful they are, the war chill dren! How well cared for. how thriving, and how showered with love! Their pro- longed siestas in the Bois or in the gar dens have freshened the bloom of their cheeks. Their immaculate pink-and- whiteness seems to testify to the girl mothers loving care of the now sov- eregn baby who for two years has had no rival The mothers entire time is devoted to his majesty, the baby, nor is he ever forgotten except occasionally when her thoughts wandering to the absent one, she traces in the baby's dimpled face the sometimes fugitive, sometimes striking re- semblance to his soldier-fath Sacred moments these when in the twilight the curly head and downy cheek resolve themselves into the pale or sunburnt features of one somewhere in France!"
