As at Newport, the pretty women
at Saratoga are racking' their luincis
in 'eareh of fads that may divert
their friends and help to pass the
time.
Nobody in Saratoga is likely to
give a monkey dinner and the fish
tuppers at the lake are not suscep
tible of elaborate variation, but
novelties in driving rigs have ap
peared on Broadway that overshad
ow anything ever seen on.Bellevue
uvenue, Newport.
The three horses abreast, driven by
Mrs. Barnes-Allin, have created a
sensation such as Saratoga luis not
known for many years. William C.
Whitney's double team of chestnuts
is superior to anything seen on the
Bake road since the days of the elder
Vanderbilts.
In the search for a special sens a
tion a pretty woman has hit upon an
idea that for the moment outshines
mere horseflesh. Mrs. C. A. Barthol
oniea, wife of a large railway eon
tractor in New York, and a near rel
ktive of Admiral Dewey, has taken
advantage of the presence in Sarato
ga in summer of an ostrich farmer
frum Jacksonville, Fla., to secure one
of the trained birds for driving to a
light blue pneumatic tire wagon.
The ostrich, most thoroughly brok
en to harness, is named Oliver W.,
and is a splendid male bird, standing
over nine feet in height. Four years
of infinite patiei.ee on the part of
trainer, Mr. Campbell, were required
to render the bird tractable.
"The skull of the animal is so small
in proportion to his body that he has
almost no brains," explained Trainer
Campbell. The rig was already har
nessed. The ostrich stood, quite do
tile. with a hood over his head. That
is the device for hitching the great
birds. As long as they cannot see
They confidently believe themselves
invisible. A brass band or a score
of panting automobiles will not
cause them to move a muscle.
The pretty woman mounted to her
*cat behind the strange two-legged
•■"Meed" and, when she had gathered

NEWPORT'S LATEST FAD.
tip the lines, directed the removal of
the hoodwink.
Oliver W. swung his 50 inches of
supple neck and darted down the
road with a stride that would have
put any trotter to shame. His rec
ord, as driven by Trainer Campbell, is
2:012, but of course no such speed was
possible on a country road.
Mrs. Charles A. Bartholomea wore
a handsome French gown, in which
she attended the races at the conclu
sion of her ostrich drive. After she
liad dismounted from the carriage
she said:
'Tt irs the most interesting exper*
ence imaginable to anybody who i*
used 1 > driving horses. A taut rein
is impossible. I could convert the os
trich's neck into a question mark by
a strong pull on both lines; but the
touch must be sympathetic and the
bird lets as by your will rather than
his own. Mr. Campbell, as you know,
says the big birds have no sense, but
they s.re more readily directed than
horses. A mere touch of the right
rein will cause the bird to swerve in
that direction. It is unnecessary to
say that inattention might be fol
lowed by a serious upset.
"If a proper blinder can be invent
ed the. ostrich will become perfectly
safe to drive to a light wagon on any
road. They never can be useful for
drawing heavy loads."
for VcrvoiiM Persona.
As a rule, salt meat is not adapted
to the requirements of nervous peo
ple, as nutritious juices go'into the
brine to a great extent. Fish of all
kinds is good for them. IJaw eggs,
contrary to the common opinion, are
not as digestible as those that have
been well cooked. Good bread, sweet
butter and lean meat are the best
food for the nerves. People troubled
with insomnia and nervous starting
from sleep, and sensations of falling,
can often be cured by limiting them
selves to a diet of milk alone for a
time. An adult should take a pint at
a meal, and take four meals daily.
People with weakened nerves require
frequently a larger quantity of wa
ter than those whose nerves and brains
are strong. It aids the digestion of
these by making it soluble, and seems
to have a direct, tonic effect.—Science

QUEEN MARK AMELIA.
Fortossn l'm Chiarminß SovrreiKn Lady
Ik itf'lovi'«l by Every Stratum
of Society.
There is no more captivating fig
ure on the thrones of all Europe than
is Marie Amelia, queen of Portugal.
The queen is the oldest daughter of
the French pretender, the duke of
Orleans, and was born in England in
one of the many years when her fa
ther's residence was at the country
seat, Twickenham, during his long
exile from France. In 1880, through
the influence of that royal match
maker, Victoria, Marie Amelia was
married to Don Carlos, the then heir
apparent to the throne of Portugal.
Three years later came his accession,
and Queen Marie Amelia entered upon
a career which has made her the
most universally beloved character
\
fp V.
/ h .
< (J. j

THE Qt'EEN OF PORTUGAL.
of modern times, her popularity be
ing said to exceed that of even that
much sung queen, Carmen Sylvia.
Marie Amelia is possessed of a
character as remarkable for its lov
able positive qualities as that of her
royal spouse is for its disagreeable neg
ative traits. She is a woman of strong
character and high intellectual pow
er, generous, quick witted, far-see
ing. She is a close student of hu
man nature, or, rather, has an intu
itive perception of it; she is a sci
entist of high standing, is a grad
uate in medicine and an expert
upon matters of hospital nursing and
sanitary cooking. The fact is, Queen
Marie Amelia is a most extraor
dinary woman. Her distinction of
being the only royal M. I), in the
world is but one of her many unusual
attractions. Although a devotee of
quiet domesticity and a model wife
and mother, she is thoroughly mod
ern in her beliefs, and lias the cour
age necessary to reduce these beliefs
to actions. She is an exponent of
common sense in the matter of dress,
and has succeeded in elevating pub
lic opinion in Portugal to that height
where tight lacing is considered low
taste, unfashionable and immoral.
With all this she is artistic, and has
the reputation of being one of the
most tastefully gowned princesses in
Europe.
Queen Marie Amelia is generous to
a fault. She not only refuses to ac
cept from the government one cent
of tbe princely allowance made her
each year, but she spends more tHan
three-fourths <>f her magnificent for
tune iiJierit ed from her father and
his family, in charities and humani
ties for the poor of her realm, which
charities are as original and inter
esting as is tlieir royal author. They
include among other things experi
mental stations for the production
of the serum of diphtheria, from
which dread disease Portugal suf
fers more than any other country
of Europe; a model sanitary bakery
for the poor; a hospital and free dis
pensary for stricken women. The
queen who is an authority on these
subjects, is a personal and intimate
friend of Florence Nightingale, to
whom she has paid several visits, and
with whose ideas she is in full ac
cord. In fact, it may be partly due
to this influence that the queen has
made efforts so persistent and so
well directed that the hospitals and
charitable institutions of otherwise
decadent Portugal are in so flourish
ing a condition.
Adored by her own people, be
loved of English society, worshiped
in Paris, Queen Marie Amelia is one
of the handsomest, wisest, most lov
able and noblest queens of Christen
dom. If a sovereign's possession of
these virtues may constitute the
safety of a people, Portugal need
have no fear for the present.

Air your clothes after taking them
off and before putting them away. Bet
the bodice of a dress hang over the
back of a chair to air for at least half
an hour before you put it away, but
if possible keep it out some tiii.e
longer. Children should be taught to
turn their stockings inside out at
night and to hang Ihem over a chair.
Body linen should be treated in the
same manner, not folded up in tbe
neat little heaps that our grandmoth
ers used to insist upon, for the lat
ter, though tidier-looking, are by no
means sanitary. Air is a great puri
fier, and clothes through which it is
allowed to circulate freely will be kept

The spreading branches were drawn
in with a rope, permuting- the tents,
which are 12 feet in diameter, to drop
over the trees. Two trees are fumi
gated at a time, the apparatus passing
between the rows. The tentsarehung
from the gaffs, which are long enough
to serve the purpose.
The tents are drawn up from the
bottom and when telescoped are still
further lifted to the height of the outer
ends of the gaffs and in position to
drop over the tree. The tents are
then let down as far as they will set
tle. The, smaller the tree the lower
t.hey will sink, and the less space will
remain for the use of the gas. The
surplus tent gathers on the ground
FUMIGATING DEVICE.
Two men can easily handle the ap
paratus.
The tents are made of light sailcloth
oiled with two coats of boiled linseed
oil and dried. They are 12 feet in di
ameter and 14 feet high. At the top
of the tent is a three-quarter-inch gas
pipe, to keep the tent expanded the
full diameter at all times. At the
bottom of the tent is a three-eighths
inch steel hoop for a like purpose. For
each tent are four ropes running
through a pulley block at the top and
outside the teijt. These ropes run
through the top and down the inside
of the tent at the four quarters,
through rings to hold them in place,
to the hoops, at the bottom. This plan
telescopes the tent when in use.
A single mast is mortised into a bed
piece, firmly attached to a frame,
eledlike in form, or it may be fixed
to a wagon, and guyed with wire to
the corners of the sled. These guy
ropes are attached to the top of the
mast and are tied to trees, two ahead
and one behind.
Two gaffs are fastened to the mast
and are each long enough to reach
the center of the tents; pulleys are at
tached to the gaffs, and ropes are used
for lifting the tents and placing them
in position. The gaffs can be raised
by a rope attached to the mast, thus
enabling one to raise the tent in addi
tion to the telescoping described.—

It. costs a great deal of money, a great
deal of time and a great deal of ex
perience to grow plants properly—
and these are facts which more in
telligent persons are beginning to re
alize. The prices of plants to-day have
not been lowered by improved meth
ods andi better knowledge; instead,
better plants are grown, both in kind
and in condition, at greater expense
to tlie producer and to the purchasers.
Certain kinds of stock can be grown
with the greatest ease and consequent
cheapness, and unbelievers having this
class in mind often fail to recognize
quality. The Carolina poplar has been
instrumental in deceiving the public
as to the value of trees. Only a couple
of years are required to rear a tree
of respectable size for transplanting,
and the cost is but a few cents. They
can be grown on almost any ordinary
nursery ground, andi need little or no
care. How different with an oak, or
even a Norway maple, where five to
ten years are inevitably spent in get
ting the seedling to a suitable selling
size! And what of the labor in trans
planting, pruning and strengthening?
Is it possible to bring the three plants
into competition except as regards,
quality and desirability? It is here
that the nurseryman meets with dis
couragement, and he is tempted to
sell cheaply and cut down has ex
penses correspondingly, to the
detriment of his s'tock. Training,
health, vigor and careful handling
make a tree that gives satisfaction, to
the purchaser and' make him ignore
the extra expense, and this more, gen
erally recognized will bring more con
fidence between the nurseryman and
his customers in their dealings.—Mee
han's Monthly.
fiiiatu a* Orchard Cleaners.
There is no worse animal to put
into an orchard than the goat, be
cause he is a browser of the truest
type, but for preparing brush or
timbered land that is to be put into
orchard or any kind of fruit he has
no equal. No doubt, the Angora 18
the most profitable to keep, but any
kind of scrub goat will eat brush
and weeds, and this is the desirable
point for the map that wants his
cleaned of all woody growth.
FACTS ABOUT CUBA.
Only Three I'er Cent, of Area of In
land and Only 'fen Per Cent* of
Carina I ndcr Cultivation.
From a recent bulletin issued by
the United States geological survey,
entitled, "A Gazetteer of Cuba," com
piled by Henry Gannett, geographer,
the following suggestive facts re
garding the island are taken:
With an acreage of 44,000 square
miles and a population in 180!) of
1,572,797, only per cent, of the area
of the island and only 10 per cent, of
the area in farms was under cultiva
tion. The most highly cultivated
portions of the island were in IMan
tanzas and Havanna provinces, which
lie adjoining in its western part,
while in Puerto Principe, the large
central province, was comparatively
slight and the land was used mostly
for ealtle ranches. The crops, in the
order of areas cultivated, were; first,
sugar cane, occupying somewhat less
than half of tiie cultivated area;
next, sweet potatoes, occupying J1
per cent, of the area; tobacco, 9 per
cent, and bananas a trifle less than 9
per cent. Tobacco and sugar were
grown in all the provinces. In 1899
there were in Cuba 207 sugar mills,
with a daily production of 61,407
, bags.
Light is thrown on the depopulat
ing effect of war in Cuba by the
comparison of the census of 1*99
with that of 1877. In the latter year
it.was 1,631,087. or 59,000 more than
12 years later, in 1899. Allowing for
the probable increase in the popula
tion between 18S7 and 1895, the year
in which the insurrection broke out,
the loss of life, as indicated by the
two censuses, may be estimated at
nearly 200,000, a loss to be attributed
to the war and the accompanying
reeoneent ration.
The bulletin is accompanied by
maps and charts, and contains nearly
4,000 geographic names.

Italy Investigate* a New Symnn for

The Italian Minister of posts and
telegraphs, Sig. Galimberti, and the
leading officials of his department
have examined a plan submitted by
an engineer named Piseieelli for the
establishment of a system of elec
trical delivery of the mails, by which
letters are to be transmitted in
aluminum boxes along overhead
wires at the rate of 248 miles an
hour.
\ commission has been appointed
to report upon this system before in
stituting experiments between Home
and Naples. Between these two

can deliver letters in 25 minutes,

llnme to Paris by this system. Sig.
Piseieelli says, could be reduced to
five hours.

PE-RU-NA NECESSARY TO THE HOME.
A Letter From Congressman White, of North Carolina.
PE-RU-NA IS A HOUSEHOLD
SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It.
PEKUNA is a great family medicine.
The women praise it as well as
the men; it is just the thing for
the many little catarrhal ailments of
childhood.
The following testimonials from
thankful men and women tell in direct,
sincere language what their success
has been in the use of I'eruna in their
families:
Louis J. Sclierrinskv, 103 Locust
street, Atlantic, lowa, writes:
"I will tell you briefly what I'eruna
has done for me. I took a severe cold
which gave me a hard cough. All doc
tors' medicines failed to cure it. I took
one bottle of I'eruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad
coughs accompanied by gagging. My
wife had stomach trouble for years.
She took I'eruna and now sheiswell.
"I cannot, express my thanks in
words, but I recommend your remedy
at every opportunity, for I can con
scientiously say that there is no medi
cine like I'eruna. Nearly everyone in
this town knew about the sickness of
myself and family, and they have seen
with astonishment what I'eruna has
done for us. Many followed our exam
ple, and the result was health. Thank
ing you heartily, I am."—L. J. Scher
rinsky.
Mrs. Nannie Wallace, Tulare, Cal.,
President of the Western Baptist Mis
sionary Society, writes:
"I consider I'eruna an indispensable
article in my medicine chest. It is
twenty medicines in one, and has so
far cured every sickness that lias been
in my home for five years. I consider
it of special value to weakly women,
as it builds np the general health,
drives out disease and keeps you in
the best of health." —Mrs. Nannie Wal
lace.
I'eruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, ca
tarrh of the stomach, liver and kid
neys. It is just as sure to cure a case
of catarrh of the bowels a&'itis a case
of catarrh of the head.
