Mrs. Harriet Clark Fisher Starts
On an Ijdeal Trip with Four
Touring Cars
EQUIPPED WITH SMALL ARSENAL
With Her Go a Botton Bull .Terrier,
Tour Large Automobile, Chauf
'sur, a Maid and a Secretary She
Will Be Gone a Year.
Trenton. N. J. Mrs. Harriet Chirk
Hslier, whom Wu-Ting-Kang, the
Chinese Minister, once described as
the most remarkable woman in Amer
ica, palled from New York on the
American liner New York to begin an
automobile tour of the world. With
her went "Honk-Honk," her Boston
bull mascot, four large touring cars,
a chauffeur, a maid and a secretary.
Mrs. Fisher Is the widow of Lieutenant-Commander
Fisher, of the
United States Navy, and since his
death she has managed the Eagle An
vil Works at Trenton, which he estab
lished. The car in which Mrs. Fisher ex
pects to make the greater part of her
trip Is a forty horse-power machine,
with a forty-gallon gasoline tank and
a 400-mile capacity on one filling. The
o!1kt curs are not so powerful and
will be merely used in case of neces
sity. They will carry the baggage
and will be transported by express
from point to point, with the maid
aboaiu, to meet Mrs. Fisher at the
various scheduled stops.
Similar arrangements have been
mrile by which Mrs. Fisher will find
at vuiious points all the necessary
changes of clothing, the food sup
plies and bucIi other incidentals as
will help to make the adventurous
trip as comfortable as possible.
Mrs. Fisher -intends to start from
Southampton in one of the two re
lief cars and make a tour of Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland, where the
roads are considered good, before she
crosses the Channel to France. In
Paris she will make her real start in
the big machine which Is equipped
with a full camping outfit and a small
arsenal, for Mrs. Fisher believes In
leaving nothing to chance.
The roads of France and Switzer
land will afford a pleasant trip to
i ake Como, where Mrs. Fisher has a
utlful estate, called the Villa Car-
l, facing the water. Then she
. .1 start through Northern Italy for
' '(.nna. Thence she will set her flag
. '.r Southern Russia, and through Asl
. 1 tic Russia she win inarch On to Port
Said.
The Arabian Desert will be Mrs.
Fisher's next objective, after a view
of Egypt, and she plans then to make
an extensive tour of India, driving
from Bombay in the west to Calcutta
on the eastern shore, thence up
through Burmah, and on to China,
and then again to Japan, where she
hopes to arrive when cherries are
ripe again. A brief sojourn there and
Bhe will tak,e steamer for San Fran
cisco and start on the last lap of her
Journey across the American conti
nent. Her objective point will be New
York, but she will continue on her
bar to Trenton, her home town.
Though schedules bave been ar
ranged and Mrs. Fisher expects to see
Trenton again by next summer, there
Is no desire to make a record-break-tag
trip, and throughout the Journey
safety and comfort will be the gulld
Ing stars.
Many extraordinary adventures are
sure to be met on the way, for Mrs.
Fisher's itinerary contemplates the
passing through provinces whose in
habitants have probably never even
heard of, much less seen, a devil
wagon. It Is for this reason that
Mrs. Fisher carries with her an, as
sortment of firearms which she and
her secretary, Harold Fisher Brooks,
are quite competent to make good use
of whenever necessary. Being an ar
dent photographer as well as an auto
lover, Mrs. Fisher hopes to bring back
a great collection of Interesting pic
tures of the lands she visits.
WEDS HIS STEPDAUGHTER.
Marriage of Wealthy Cyrus M. Davla
Startles Coast Society.
Pasadena, Cal. Social circles here

8aved by Her Own Echo.
Boston, Mass. The echo of her own
whistle warned the officers of the
steamship Numldlan, which has just

were near and the vessel was brought
to a stop during a dense fog in time
to prevent a crash.
Frankfort, Ky. Michael Hayes, ol
Ruthorford County, has a mule whose

FUN 10 HARNESS THE TIDES
An Old 8tory In Canada, but It la
Heard Once Again.
Cannda hears every little while
that some one Is going to harness tho
mighty tides of th Bay of Fundy ind
put them to work; but the tides have
gone on doing as they please and the
story has been rnnkeJ with the re
portwhich usually originates In
Maine ihnl gold is to be extracted
from the snn:ls of the senshore.
A tremendous amount oi power is
grins to waste all the time in the Bay
of Fundy and' the scheme to put this
power to some account is reasonable
etiiiugh on paper. It ha been pro
rcped again by J. L. Wcller of St.
Catherine's, Ontario, who la organiz
ing a company and has applied for a
ch.irter from the Dominion Govern
ment. The tide rises In the Bny of Fundy
sometimes as high as sixty feet. A
rise of forty feet Is ordinary. When
it is remembered that the lide Is eith
er rising or falling for more than
twenty hours out of the twenty-four It
will bo seen that there Is almost con
tinuous power.
Tho vast extent of the tidal area Is
the most difficult factor in tho prob
lem. The water sweeps up broad
estuaries for the most part; at few
pl es Is there such a thing as a nar
row passage through rocky walls. To
I'M'r.ess the Fundy tide will require
kma stretches of heavy stone em
bankments. Mr. Weller's plan, so far as he has
announced It. Is to build power plants
below Moncton, N. B., on the Petit
uxliac tliver, at Amherst, N, S., on
at. arm of Cumberland Bay, and at
Eonu points on the Basin of Minas.
The movement of the tlda in the
i'etltcodlac River represents an ener
gy ol about 3.000,000 horse-power a
Cay. Tho river beJ below Moncton
Is more than a mile wide. The banks
are gentle slopes.
It is here that the bore, a wall of
water that marks the -omlng of tho
tide. Is seen at its best. Its power
seems quite worth while harnessing,
for In spring tide seasons It is some
six feet high and It rushes up the riv
er at express train speed.
Following the bore the tide pours
in steadily and forcefully. It has the
strength of a spring freshet in a
mountain river.
Mr. Waller's plan Is to build exten
sive dams in the river bed, in order
to force all this power Into one spot.
The dams would be built so as to
catch the power of the falling tide as
well to get It coming and going. The
aim is to develop only 100,000 horse
power at first.
The problem at Amherst seems
easier, for there the water is confined
within narrower limits. In the Basin
of Minas the problem is the hardest,
for there is little natural opposition.
There is a good market for power
all around the Bay of Fundy. It could
run the electric lines in the cities and
towns, it could work the mills, it
could be used in developing the oil
lands near the mouth of the Petltcodl
ac and the ccal mines near Amherst.
The work at Niagara has made the
distribution and employment of col
lected energy a simple matter.
Canada, however, will not believe
until it sees.
A Joke on 'Sir Robert Ball.
Sir Robert Ball, the famous astron
omer, recently told the House of Com
mons Committee on the Waste of
Daylight that as an astronomer he
thought daylight was altogether a
mistake. ThlB notwithstanding the
fact that he, Sir Robert, Is a yachts
man and a golf player. The author
of "The Starry Realms" and of "The
Popular Guide to the Heavens" Is nat
urally addicted to the night side of
tilings.
Being an Irishman, too, he Is, of
course, as much a humorist as an
astronomer. On one occasion, when
visiting Shakespeare's native birth
place, Sir Robert came off second best
hi a tilt with his erstwhil6 landlady.
I will give you a lesson In astronomy,
madam." ho said. "Have you ever
'lcard of the great platonlc year, when
everything must return to its first
condition? In 26,000 yean we shall
be here again, eating a dinner pre
cisely like this. Will you give us
credit till then?" "Yes," was the
pompt reply. "You were here 26,000
years ago and left without paying.
"Settle the old bill and I'll trust you
with the new."
Our Poultry Industry.
There Is a great awakening In the
lojluy industry among the scientists
f the country. Twenty or more
States have established experiment
stations and in addition, three years
ago the Department of Agriculture
started a station at Baltimore, Mary
land. At the State experiment sta
tions there are regular courses of in
struction ofi poultry raising, while
scientific experiments are made to de
termine the comparative values of dif
ferent breeds and varieties, the best
methods of housing and breeding, and
the value of the different foods. The
roultry Industry has long been desert
ed by the scientists and in spite of
them, according to figures prepared
by Secretary Wilson, the value of the
ergs and poultry produced on the
farms Inst year was $620,000,000 as
much as the cotton crop, seed includ
ed, or the hay or the wheat crop.
Some Busy Boys.
One thousand and sixty-four spar
rows were nluughtered by Marquette
(Mich.) boys during the three months
of the open season for these birds
in, a which expired with the close ol
February. At the rate of 2 cents
I'crd, the feathered prey netted the
youngsters a total of 121.28 in boun
ties. Much larger payments were
made In other Upper Michigan cities.

How to Gain Red Cheeks.
Some people are constitutionally

tonics to enrich the blood, etc., v,i!l
ever give them red cheeks. TliohO
people must therefore use roui,'o If
they want a tinge of color in their
faces. If you object to the usual
rouges you might try beet Juke or a
rouge made of strawberries, which Is
harmless and Imperceptible. Make it
after this recipe:
Fresh ripe strawberries, 3 quarts;
distilled water, 1 pint. Place in a
fruit Jar and set the Jar In a sauce
pan of water over a slow fire. Lot
tho water simmer for two hours.
Strain through a line hair sieve.
When cold add pure alcohol, 12
ounces; best Russian Isinglass (dis

I drops; oil of cedrat, 5 drops.
Keep closely stoppered in a dark
place. Apply to tho cheeks With a
bit of absorbent cotton.
Sore Gums, Etc.
Below is the formula for a mouth
wash which will heal the gums. A
paste made of powdered pumlco stone
and peroxide of hydrogen applied
with an orange stick will clean off the
tartar, but if your teeth are reilly
In poor condition tho bc.st plan is to
see a dentist at once and not experi
ment with them yourself. It Is poor
policy to economize on dentists' billii.
Compound tincture of cinchona, 4
ounces; glycerine, 2 ounces.
The above is useful for a sore
mouth, Irritable or sore gums and
for sore throat. Add one or two t.v
blespoonfuls to the same quantity of
water and rinse out the mouth and
gargle the throat with It.
Cucumber Loticn.
This is a very good time to print
the formula for cucumber lotion,
which is given below:
Cucumber lotion No. 1. Expressed
Juice of cucumbers, 1-2 pint; deodor
ized alcohol, 1 1-2 ounces; sweet al
mond oil, 3 1-2 ounces; shaving
cream, 1 dram; blanched almonds,
1 3-4 drams.
This is a suave lotion, very whiten
ing, softening and cleansing. Take
the shaving cream and dissolve in the
rose water by heating in a custard
kettle. Beat the almonds In a mor
tar and by degrees work in the soap
and water. Strain through muslin
and return to the mortar. Stir con
stantly, working In gradually the al
cohol, in which the oils have been
already dissolved.
Liquid Powder.
Here is a fomula for liquor powder
which may be used at night. Be
sure to follow the directions carefully
in applying it.
Bismuth oxychlorlde, 2 ounces;
glycerine, 1 ounce; water, enough to
make 16 ounces.
Shake well and apply with a soft
sponge or an antiseptic gauze. The
face must be well wiped off before
the liquid dries or it will be streak
ed. Skin Too Shiny.
Be careful to rinse the soap well
off after washing your face. It .should
be rinsed off in several waters. Then
dry your face with a soft towel and
apply this simple remedy: One dram
of boralclc acid mixed with four
ounces of rose water. Before the
face is quite dry from the lotion put
on a little powder. If the skin looks
smeary, rub it gently after the powder
dries with a soft chamois skin.
Blackheads.
It takes time and patience to over
come blackheads, but it can be done
by scrubbing your face well every
day with a complexion brush, In warm
water, with a pure soap, and rinsing
afterward in several clear waters.
Gradually the pores cease to be clog
ged and resume their normal size. But
do not expect to get rid of the trouble
immediately.
Scalp Too Dry.
Here is the formula of a good stim
ulating unguent for a dry scalp, Mas
sage it into the scalp thoroughly once
a day. Cocoanut oil, 3 ounces; tinc
ture of nux vomica, 4 1-2 drams; Ja
maica bay rum, 2 ounces; oil of berg
amot 40 drops.
Antl-KInk Pomade.
Here is a pomade that will not make
the hair permanently straight, but
will make it more pliable and easier
to arrange: Beef suet, 8 ounces; yel
low wax, 1 ounce; castor oil, 1 ounce;
beuolc acid, 5 grams; oil of lemon, 1-2
gram; oil of cassia, 8 drops. Mix the
suet and wax over a slow beat, add
the castor oil and acid and allow to
properly cool and then add the other
oils. Apply to the hair as any other
pomade.
Enlarged Pores.
One of the simplest and best cures
for enlarged pores Is to use a scrub
bing brush and pure soap. With this
treatment the pores are freed from
the clogged secretions and gradually
become normal.

There are, of course, many others,

the Guard, the captain of the Gen

Horse and the squires and pages of
honor, who have to possess a distinc

will only wear these uniforms once,
while noblemen some times make the
same uniform last a lifetime. It has
been computed that on great state oc

worn exceeds 30,000.
Demand for Hair Roue.
"There is one thing which we ex
port from this country that few peo
ple, in fact, no no outside those In
the trade, ever know anything about,"
said S. C. Brown to a Milwaukee Sen
tinel reporter. "That Is hair ropes.
They are Bhipped mainly to India,
though they go to any places where
poisonous snakes are plentiful. Every
cowboy and plainsman learned years
ago that if he did not wish to wake
up in the morning and find a rattler
for a bed-mate when he bad to sleep
out on the prairie, he had to be care
ful before he laid down to see that his
horse-hair lariat was coiled carefully
about him so .hat there was no open
ing through which a sna'ie nilgl;'
crawl.
"No snake will tackle u hair ro;-.o
It is the only cure protection against
them. Somehow this idea h:u 'perme
ated the minds of the Hast Indiana
and now they buy these rope3 for pi'n
tection against the poisonous sna'ies
with which that country abounds.
Large numbers of these ropes are
shipped to Irdia and adjoining coun
tries each year.
"Over there they are coiled on the
floor around the bed at night and the
occupant can lie uown In comfort, cer
tain that no snake will ever attempt
to pass over that hair rope. It is
about the only way any one can be
sure of a night's sleep undisturbed
by visits from snakes In that country."
Game Abounds In Louisiana.
Louisiana is blessed with an abund
