Announcing that the Pennsyl uania railr< ad is ready to co-oper ale with Boards of Trade and com mercial organizations in the loca tion of new enterprises in the cities on its lines. \\ . J. Ross, division freight agent al Harrishurg lias ad dressed to these commercial bodies a letter entitled "Suggestions for Boards of Trade, Chambers of Caminerce, Business Men's Leagues and other Social Civic organiza tions Seeking to Promote Local Developnent." The Pennsylvania's announce ment to these trades bodies closes by saving: "The Pennsylvrnia Railroad Company has enlisted for the war and will co-operate with you as far as it consistently can, if you will now and periodically hereafter, take account of stock and keep the undersigned fully informed as to the local advantages and other in ducements you have to offer, to those seeking lota ns for new en terprises. Quoting Wood worth Clum, edi tor of "Town Development'' who recently made an address before the Lancaster, (Pa.,) Chamber of Commerce, Mr Rose' letter says: "To promote sucessfnllv and solve the problem of local develop ment, each of you must consider it as you do your individual business. What would it profit a manufac turer to erect a modern plant, ©quipped with the best up- o date machinery and producing the best of a needed product, if he stored it in his warehouse and let it go at that. "The community has something to sell: vacant building lots for houses, stores, warehouses or in dustrial plants or similar plants for rent 6r sale; merchants and manu facturers to be patronized and pro fessional citizens to consult and a destiny to determine. The shelves of the local wareroom are filled ■with the commodity called local advantages. Is this stock covered v ith the dust of years or hidden by a curtain of cobwebs and have its owners forgotten their warehouse and its salable contents? "In these modern days of keen civic competition the handle of the big front door of the warehouse must be polished and the dust and cobwebs banished and the world advised of the quality, nature and utility of these wares, by advertis ing and exploiting them as we do in private business. For what is true of it. is equally and in greater degree true of the community's in terest, for without active co-opera tion neither can thrive, hence the campaign of local promotion and development is no longer optional. There are three essentials to men tal activity. First, to interest; second, to convince; third, to force action. Every citizen worthy the name is interested ami it is com paratively easy to convince him of the necessity for action if supre macy is to be won, but the difficul ty is reached in forcing action. ou c in hold meeting.-, talk things over and agree upon what should be done, but the lighting volunteers are usually few and the majority are prone to shift the burden of work and worry to other shoulders, forgetting that united action i- es- Hential and -ivery man'- shoulder lnust be pi to tlie wheel to insure Success.

The Hotel Astor, In New York, boasts the largest pipe organ In tha United States and one of the largest In the world. A pipe organ is fin in novation In hotel fixtures, and as such is of more than usual interest. The great organ represents all or chestral instruments, and its many j speaking stops, nearly 100, make the j tonal resources of the Instrument al- ! most inexhaustible. It is divided into | four distinct divisions, the main or- j gan occupying two chambers on the j east and west sides of the ball room, j The other two divisions are arranged j on either side of "L'Orangerie" room, j Completely hidden from view by the ; decorations of the walls and ceilings, j the music comes as a surprise. The pipes, varying from 32 feet in I lepgth to only a fraction of an inch, are hundreds of feet away from the playing cabinet containing the keys and stops, and each one is operated by its individual train of electro-pneu matic action. The pressure of a key gives current to a wire that finds its | way through various cables and , switches to a magnet, which operates j pneumatic mechanism that opens a } valve and gives pressure to the pipe, j HAYTIAN CUTLERY SALUTE Steward of Naval Vessel Put Knives and Forks in Gun and Hotel Was Punctured. Discipline aboard men-of-war belong- I ing to tropical countries is not as strict as that obtaining on the vessels j of colder countries. Indeed, in some j instances, it is very lax. The Defense, a Haytlan naval ves sel, was lying in the harbor of Port au-Prince. One day a mess cook, for ; some reason, cleaned about a peck of ! knives and forks on the gun deck, and, • being suddenly called away, and not ! wishing to spend time togo to the ! galley, he seized the messpot full of knives and forks and stuck it in the muzzle of the ten-inch gun, putting the tampion in after it. About an hour afterward the admiral came aboard, and, as the gun was loaded with blank cartridge, they used it to fire a salute. It happened that the gun was aimed toward the town, and almost point blank at the Grand Hotel. The guests assembled on the porch to witness the ceremonies, when they were saluted with a rain of knives and forks, which stuck against the wooden walls like quills on a porcupine. Fortunately no one was hurt, although there were many narrow escapes. Need for Two Collars. Having bought a dog that he ad mired a Washington Heights man un dertook to buy a dog collar. The dog had a neck nearly as big as his head and the dealer advised the man to buy two collars. "What for?" said the man. "He's got only one neck, so I guess he can get along with only one collar, can't he?" "Maybe so," said the dealer, so the man went away leading the dog by his new collar and chain. In less than a week he brought the dog back. "I'm afraid I can't keep him," he said. "He Is too obstreperous. I can't 1 keep him tied up. His neck Is the biggest part of him and he is as 6trong as an ox, therefore It Is a slnch for him to slip his collar off "That 1H why I wanted you to take ■ two collars." said the duller. "Put i both on and fasten the chain to the ; hack cottar and he can t"ig away all night without netting loose. He may j commit suicide, but tie won't get loose." | Plague of Monkeys.

WHAT WOMAN LIKES IN MAN Pleasing Manners, Deference, Cour tesy and a Vigorous, Healthy and Well-Groomed Appearance. ▲ woman likes pleasing .manners la a man. She likes deference and cour tesy and attentlveness in small things. Manners often make mor« of an appeal to her than sterling worth. That's the reason foreigners make such headway with American women. They never forget to be defer ential and courteous, to say the little things and to do the little things that warm the cockles of the feminine heart. This may be all wrong Per haps she ought to appreciate the char acter more than the veneer. But she doesn't. The average woman isn't practical. She's romantic. She likes roses and bonbons. Many men give her cabbage and beefsteak. Cabbage and beefsteak are all right, but as a steady diet they are tiresome. She'll take less cabbage and beefsteak if thereby she may hav« some roses and bonbons. A woman likes a man to look healthy and to be well groomed/. She likes a vigorous body, a healthy skin and a look that betokens a daily acquaintance with the bath tub, not merely because she likes beauty, though she does, but because these things betoken good habits. A woman, if she is a wife or a sweetheart, likes expressions of love. She gets tired of taking a man's love for granted. It grows faint and far away, and life is cold and common place, when he does not tell her in actual words he loves her, and show her by actual caresses, how much. To some men, this seems all foolishness. They think that paying bills is the best proof of their love. But again, most women are not practical, and bills are uninteresting things, not half so enjoyable or warm and vital as a kiss or a caress. QUEER THING IN BIRD LIFE Fantail Pigeons Hatch Out a Bantam Chick but Have Trouble in Feeding It. The following experience, says a writer in the Strand, I have recently had may be of interest to your read ers. I have two fantail pigeons, both male birds, and I noticed one day that they built a nest and then were sit ting on it alternately, as if they were going to hatch eggs. It struck me that It might be a good idea to put an egg of my bantams into the nest to compensate the pigeons for the trou ble they had taken in building it. Ap parently they appreciated my doing so, as from that time they never left the nest for about three weeks, when, to my great surprise, I found a little chicken peeping from the pigeon's nest. It was touching to see how the pigeons tried to feed the chicken by opening tl-air beaks, like pigeons do, and inviting the youngster to help himself to the contents of their crops, which, of course, it refused to do, be cause It Is a chicken and not a pigeon. The pigeons are very fond of the little one, and take it under their wfngs to keep it warm whenever It wants it, exactly as a hen treats her chickens. The Women of Brittany. To the casual observer the Bretonne Is not attractive or even supremely interesting. As a femme de chambrn she Is clumsy, slovenly and rough of speech, lacking the graces and neat ness of her Parisian sister, She shuf fles about In felt slippers, her volu minous black skirts catch In every thing, and If she waits at the table d'hote her method of handling cutlery Is strongly calculated to sever one's Jugular vein. She has no regularity In her work, and at the hour that she ought to be making beds she Is prob ably sitting on the public staircase nursing her baby. She Is generally married and, conversely, often ten years younger than you take her to be. To English eyes she is rarely beautiful. Her hair is strained tight ly under her cap. her checks have seldom any delicacy of tint nnd her figure and motions are ungainly and awkward.- Wide World. Queer Marital Relations. Curiouß marriage customs prevail among the people dwelling in the Tan gl Valley in India. Mere It seems that the women are polygamous, and that several brothers possess one wife in common. The custom is said to be due to the poverty of the people. The children bear the names of all the husbands of the mother How such a custom as to names works out In practice It Is dltllcult to comprehend. The divorce custom* are very simple. If tbo husband establishes that his wife Is a bud cook It Is a sufficient giound, and on the wife's hide, if she can show that her husband lulls to provide for the u keep of the house she obtain relief.

According to a Japanese writer, the domestic cat appeared in his country at a relatively recent epoch, having traveled from China with the mis sionaries of Buddhism. In the middle the sixth century of the Christian era sacrifices were offered to the cat, which was known by all as "the guardian of the manuscripts." "The guardian of the manuscripts" kept away the mice, who otherwise would have eaten the precious papy rus. In some instances placards were set In conspicuous places among manuscripts as a warning to the mice: Beware! The cat is here. She drives the mice. Portraits of cats were also placed in places frequented by mice. The cats were revered. For a long time they were kept in the temples. But their beauty, their general desir ability and the charm of their grace, affection for man, and adaptability to human conditions so appealed to the layman that one by one very gradual ly their kittens were permitted to leave the temples and to become the pets of the nobility. After entering the families of the high officials of the Empire they won their way into humbler households. NEW WAY TO CURE BALDNESS Work in Cold Storane Plant or Goto Arctic Regions and Your Hair Will Grow. The latest "universal hair grower" discovered is a trip to the Arctic re gions, or failing time and inclination for that, employment in a cold storage company. According to Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer, ex treme cold Is one of the best means of strengthening the hair. In the course of an interview recently, Sir Ernest said. "All of the men who went with me on the south pole expedition with one or two exceptions possessed stronger crops of hair on their return to civi lization. "Extreme cold undoubtedly strength ens one's hair. As our party ap proached nearer the south pole our hair grew more slowly, but became thicker and stronger." An official of a London cold storage company, interviewed on the same subject, stated that there was not a bald-headed man !n the employ ot the company. He said that the men worked all day In a temperature of 20 degrees of frost and the cold un doubtedly made their hair thicker. Covers Much Space. A New York department store gets out a postcard which contains interest ing "acts for the curious. Here are some of the store's features which it mentions: Ten freight elevators, 26 passenger elevators, 120 flights of stairs, 1,020 telephone stations, 8,000 automatic sprinklers, 17 miles of pneumatic tubes With 370 stations, 22,- 000,000 pounds of steel, 221,400 cubic feet of concrete in foundations, a mile and a half of showcases, 25 miles of steam circulation pipe, 2,406 steel col umns, 24,040 incandescent lamps, 45 show windows with the largest plate glass In New York, 5,250.000 bricks used In erection, 540,000 feet of copper wiring for lighting, 390 separate de partments, 250,000 square feet, or nearly 27 acres of wood flooring, which gives the floor space 800.000 square feet of plaster surface, 100,000 square feet of outside window glass. American Robins in England. An attempt has been made to intro duce the American robin into Surrey, with apparent success. Six pairs turn ed loose last June near Guilford have reared about 40 nestlings. The name of our robin was given by the Pilgrim Fathers to the largest and most nu merous of the American thrushes (Turdus mlgratorius), because of its red breast, and friendly association with man. The American robin Is closely relat ed to our blackbird, and has a sweet, melodious song. Its introduction to Surrey will be regarded by market gardeners with much misgiving, for though his fool consists chiefly of worms or insects, he works sad havoc among the cherrle Westminster Ga zette.
