K That Likes To Swing.
hi the front yard of a home on
East Ninth Street a rope dangles
from a branch of a tree.
"Wonder what that rope's for?"
asked one man of his companion as
tne two were passing the house this
morning.
"Go In and aBk, If you're curious,"
the other advised.
A young woman came to the door.
"We, that Is I was sort of cur
ious about, what that rope on the tree
is for," the inquisitive one stam
mered. "Why, that's Johhny's swing," the
young woman answered.
Out the door dashed Johnny a
for terrier. A leap and he fastened
his teeth In the rope and, growling
and jerking, signified that he was
ready to swing. The young woman
pushed him hack and forth until he
reached the topmost branches of the
tree.
"Johnny would stay there hanging
on that rope all day If we would
let him," she said. "That's why the
rope Is kept tied up out of hla
reach."
Johnny is the property of Charles

Children Barred.
Among the surprising things which
a mother discovered during a visit to
New York was that of all the hotels
In the city the only one in which chil
dren are not allowed is the one con
ducted exclusively for women. This
mother also discovered that at a
restaurant which caters onlr to
women signs are conspicuously post
ed Informing customers that children
are not allowed In the room. Well,
why should this not be so? If women
run so far against nature as to flock

Cultivation Of Rubber,
The cultivation of rubber trees Is
on the increase, and rubber may at
no distant time become entirely u
plantation product. It Is said that
there are in Ceylon over 100,000 acres
which have been planted in rubber,
and in the Malay Peninsula about
half aB much moro. It Is estimated
that Mexico has about 100,000 acres
planted in rubber, making in all
about 275,000 acres, which should
produce before long about one-quarter
of the world's probable consump
tion. The results from these plan
tations seem to have been so suc
cessful that the work might be en

Dogs as Guests.
London society has adopted ono of
the New York Four Hundred's fads
that of taking one's pet. dogs out
to dine. Invitations to dinner among
the "smart set" now include the
woman guest's toy Pom or gryphon,
and some women carry the "love me,
love my dog" principle so far as to
refuse Invitations to houses where
the "honor" of her pet's presence is
not requested.
The tiny toy-dogs lie in their mis
tresses' laps during dinner, and are
fed with tidbits from every course in
the menu. The bigger dogs, mean
while, are allowed to disport them
selves under the dining table.
The intrusion of dogs in the dining
room 1b a source of much embarrass
ment to the butler and footmen:
while everybody who is not a devoted
dog-worshiper scrupulously avoids
houses where the four-footed guests
ure allowed at table.
Caring For the Complexion.
Once a day, preferably at night,
you should wash your face very thor
oughly If you would have one of the
most potent adjuncts of beauty, a fine
skin. After having lathered your
face with the best soap, wash rjently
but thoroughly with a very soft, even
bru or a cloth. Rinse well and dry
with a soft towel, using an upward
stroke. When the face has been thor
oughly dried give it two cream baths.
The cream for this purpose is made
as follows: Melt together two ounces
of best sweet almond oil; one-fourth
ounce spermaceti; one large tea
spoonful best lanolin, and a bit of
white wax, the kind that comes In
thin round sheets the size of a half
dollar. Remove this from the lire,
and add gradually two ounces of
orange-flower water and four drops
of either oil of rose or rose-geranium.
Be careful not to uso more of the
spermaceti and wax than the formula
calls for, as what is wanted is not a
stiff ointment, but a soft cream which
will nourish and soften the skin.

Women and Lighthouses.
The only two lighthouse-keepers
whose names are known to millions
have been women.
Grace Durllng has been dead sixty
five years, but her aid In rescuing
nine survivors of the wrecked steam

Rock, near Newport, the fiftieth anni
versary of her coming to the light.
She has saved eighteen lives. How
many Bhe has Indirectly saved by
keeping her light burning no ono
knows.
Women are well adapted for llvht
houso life. Only a few are officially
keepers, like Mrs. Walker of the Bob
bins Reef light in New York Hurbor,
but many stay In lighthouses with
their husbands or ratherB. The life
is not usually more lonely than that
of many farmera' wives. Patience In
a dally round of duties Is characteris
tic of women. So too are the home

work or other trivial means of killing
time. Men who serve long on light
houses take up wood-carving, or col
lecting "specimens" or some other
hobby to serve as knitting work to
relieve the mind. They bocomo wom
anishly fussy about their simple
housekeeping.
In courage women are neither In

is a matter not of sex but of individ

Not a Safe Man to Wed.
The notions in regard to courtship
and marriage held by Tibbie, the
young Scotchwoman who presided
over the Jameson kitchen, were a
never-ending source of amusement to
her mistress. "I've taken ine mind
off Arctiie MacLachlan, ma'am,"
Tibbie announced one day, referring
to a young carpenter who bad haunt
ed ber domuiu for some weeks. "He's
no the man for me. I can see that
weel."
"What has poor Archie done?"
asked Mrs. Jameson, her henrt filled
with Joy at the knowledge that she
was not to lose her domestic treasure,
as she had feared.
"It's what he has na done, ma'am,"
responded Tibbie, briskly. "I put a
few tests to him. I said, 'Archie, if
ye had a wife, an' come home some
day to find she'd gone gadding with
her kin and left the hoose In disor
der, what'd you do?' And he looked
at me with that foolish smile o' his,
an' said he, 'I'd put It to rights my
sel'.' ' "
"Again I tried him with church
going. Said I, 'Archie, If ye had n
wife that some Sawbeth morning
would up an' tell ye she was too tired
to bide the thoughts o' sitting under
the minister, what'd you do?' And
again he smiled foolish at me, an'
said, 'I'd go an' listen for two.'

Sometimes a wife, happy or un
happy, adored or abandoned, as the
case may be. makes It clear to the
objects of her gentle scorn that It la
their Inexperience with Man that puts
them In the kindergarten class ot
humanity. Maidn herself, married
from her father's house at twenty
two, after an exhaustive acquaintance
with all the possible vagaries of mas
culinity in the persons of our grand
father, the village clergyman, our
uncle, his clerical successors; our
father, the village doctor; our
brother, his assistant; and Frederick
Maida will prate fluently by the
hour about what man likes and what
he -doesn't like; what are his tastes
In food, and what he really thinks
about the heroine of "The Garden of
Allah;" what sort of women he really
admires, and at what temperature he
likes a room. To Grace she will
prattle thus: Grace who. In the course
of her fifteen years' wandering since
she waB Maida's bridesmaid, has
made a sprig of Continental royalty
wish to renounce his kin and his
coronet and emigrate to America as
her spouse; has caused a duel at a

she says, "is nothing; a stein of beet

three competing artists, each d"er
mined to make her loveliness quite

nil succeeding in making it quite un

His Wife's Little Contraptions.
Mr. Bennett was about to leave
town for a week's vacation, and his
wife was helping him pack his suit
case. "Here, George," said she,
beaming with the consciousness of a
good deed done, "Is a nice little linen
case that I've made for your cake ol
soap, and here are two others, one
for your collars and one for youi
cuffs. This long one with the ribbon
bows is for your ties. They'll keep
everything so nice and clean."
"Ye-es," agreed George, eyeing
them somewhat doubtfully, "so they
will."
"And this," continued thoughtful
Mrs. Bennett, "Is a little case for
your handkerchiefs, with a violet
sachet Inside; and here are two oth
ers, lined with oil-Bilk, for your wash
cloth and bath sponge."
"What's this pillow-case thing?"
asked Interested George, holding up n
large white bag.
"Why, that's to put your starched
shirts In, dear. See, It's Just the
length of your suit case I measured
to get it Just right."
"I see," said George, thoughtfully.
"Any more?"
"Yes, Indeed. I've been planning
for this trip for weeks. This blue
denim case is for your overshoeB and
this striped one Is for your slippers.
This one with the cunning little but
ton and buttonhole is for your whlsk
broom, and these others, embroid
ered with forget-me-nots, are for
your comb and your military brushes.
This largest case is for your night
shirt, here's another for your razors,
and this little long one Is for your
toothbrush. I did Intend to make a
case for your soiled linen. but "
Just at this moment Mrs. Bennett
was calletl downstairs. When she
returned, half an hour later, George
was sitting on the side ot the bed
among his personal belongings and
gazing disconsolately at the bulging
sides ot In suit case.
"Why," exclaimed Mrs. Bennett,
looking at the array on the bed, "you
haven't packed a single thing!"
"Yes, I have," replied George, mop
ping his brow. "I succeeded in get
ting all those cases Into that suit
case, but there Isn't room for any ot

Indulging in a good deal of specula
Hon as to what success the Grey
hound will have on her present
rrulBc, writes the New Bedford cor
respondent of the New York Evening
Sun. The old bark was in excellent
Rhape when she sailed last week, and
with a good crew aboard It Is expect
ed that the cruise will be profitable.
Although Bhe was built. In 1854 the
Greyhound Is stanch yet and a faBt
sailer. This time she is expected to
be out five years, making stops every
six months at the Azores and the
West Indies. The Greyhound's last
voyage lasted four years, lacking a
few days.
"She never was a plumpuddlner,"
said Captain Castlno, one of the old
est skippers In New Bedford, when he
6aw the Greyhound's lines cast off.
Captain Castlno has seen her sail on
many a long cruise. "Plumpud
dlners" are whalers that only remain
out five or six months. It Is expected
thnt the Greyhound will spend a good
deal of tlmo whaling off the coast of
Patagonia.
Although the meetings of the Spin
Yarn Club have been rnther sparsely
attended of late because of the hot
weather, quite a number of whalemen
gathered In F'rank Brown's harpoon
shop to-day to discuss different mat
ters. Capt. Dowden was not there
because of the fact that, he has had a
new balcony built on the second story
of his house In Mill street. These
fine days the captain sits out on his
new balcony to see what Is going on
along Purchase street. As a conse
quence he seldom gets down to Frank
Brown's, but sometimes drops Into
Leader Brighton's place for a minute
to get the news.
Capt. Sylvanus Potter, who may
take out the bark A. B. Tucker this
summer, waa one of the Spin Yarn
members present. He dropped In to
ask Frank Brown about some new
bomb lances that have Just come In.
Incldentully he remarked that he
thought Irons were cheaper down
Provlncetown nowadays than at New
Bedford.
"Well, they ought to sell 'em pretty
chenp down on the Cape," said
Brown. They make 'em out of zinc,
I understand."
Capt. Potter lapsed Into silence
after this unci smoked his pipe. He
is not given to talking a great deal.
Brown mentioned that he had sold
some wire-feathered lances to Nor
wegian parties nnd had Just received
a fc?sh stock of blubber-forks. Blub
ber forks are now quoted at $1.10
apiece.
The whalemen were gratified over
the catch made by the schooner John
R. Manta, which has just arrived.
Whales were reported very plentiful
off the Brazils, and although the Man
ta was not out a very long time her
work was profitable. It was Bald that
the best catches were made In the
Gulf of Curiaco, Bperm whales being
found In goodly quantities.
Capt. Joseph Edwards, worthy
Portuguese skipper, and Capt. George
Anthony, who was master of the old
Catalepa, joined the group In
Brown's shop while a description of
the Manta's cruising was being given.
The name Curiaco seemed to awaken
old memories in the Portuguese
Bkipper's mind. He gazed medita
tively toward the blue Acushnet.
Uolfo Curiaco, Golfo Curiaco," he
repeated slowly. "I know that place
ver' wal, var' wal. I was only there
wance many year ago dat's a ver"
bad place. How about? Am I ever
tellin' you about the time I am ship
wreck in Curiaco. That's the only
vessel I ever lose. The same time,
too, we pay for get shipwreck. I
never told you, don't I?"
A general laugh went around. No
one In the party had heard of this
rather paradoxical proceeding of
paying to lose one's vessel. The cre
dence of Capt. Edwards, however,
had been tested before and the story
was probably authentic.
"That's right, that's true," assert
ed the Portuguese commander. "I'll
unless you pay the tax of the govern
ment.
"Well, the Spanish comniandante
he come Aboard and says he Is In
charge of entrance to GoHo Curiaco
and each whaler has to pay license.
The whalin' ver' good, he say sort of
encouraging and smiles ver' nice. He
haB gold laces and is a fine com
niandante. " 'How mhch you charge for tee
taxes?' says the captain.
" 'One hundred feefty dollar,' say
the comniandante, very strong.
" 'That's a lot of money,' Capt.
Frintas says; 'we don't have any luck.
I can't pay bo much money.'
"Well, they talk about terms for
long tam. At last the comniandante
he Is impatient and asks:
" 'How much you give anyway?"
"The captain he talk some time
with mate and then he answers:
" Wal, I geev yon 190, anyhow;
dot's all I geev; I am poor man.'
"All right,' aay the commandante.
He smile some more. 'Give me $90
and you go whalin' In de Golf.'
"Vlr well, de captain give de money
and de gunboat waddles off toward
shore. De schooner fills off, and we
go pushing Into de Golf. Well, dat's
line place. Big, smooth waters. We
are scarcely dere an hour before look

"In twelve hour we're makln' de

niandante. " 'I lose my ship,' Bays Captain
Frintas, very solemn. She struck an

" 'Well, what you going to do

" 'Us, we'll go home, some tam

" 'I tell you what,' the command
anto said, 'I take you up to Rio

" 'AH right,' say de capltan. 'I
guess dot's best thing we can do.'
"So we go up for Rio Blanco, such
a hot place, on de river, an' wait for
steamer. Pretty soon she come. We
go out to Bridgetown and so on home.
Dat was tam we pay for get ship
wreck. Dat was bad turn."'
The other whalemen in the party
agreed that the Cohannet's accident
had been unfortunate. It was pecul-
teii you all about. Oh, It's good ar, too, they Bald, that Frintas
many year ago when I am foremast should have had to meet the financial
hand In schooner Cohannet, one of demands of the comniandante before
the first cruise I have out of New ; he could take his vessel Into the

a grand total ot 555,07l,68B.
Frank Brown interrupted to say
that he remembered when the Cohan
net was lost but had never understood
about the unusual financial arrange
ment that preceded her foundering.
"Wal, it's like this, you Bee," con
tinued Capt. Edwards. "We're right
whaling south of the line; we go
after sperm whales further north and
dou't get much. There was weeks
when the lookout never yells 'Dar

no use to make coinplent, though, we
couldn't find whales anyhow. The
old man Bays we'll have to go hunip

and off the coast ot Brasll. One day
somebody asked Capt. Frtntaa If he

Well, we put the wheel hard over

There was a general move among
the whalemen toward the door.
"Where did you say the gulf was
exactly?" asked Captain Potter.
Captain Edwards gave the location
of Curiaco.
"Some time 1 will communicate
with their government and have them
take steps to have the place chartered
properly and furnished with protect

Capt. Potter spoke assertively.
Three years ago ho went to The

Electric Power I mm Wind.
From very early times the wind
has been used by man as a source
of mechanical power, and so far Is
It from being superseded by other
forces thai projects have recently
been put forward to utilize it to a
far greater extent than ever, especi
ally for electric lljjhtlnp.
With this object in view, an In
vestigation of the average state of
the wind bus been made in England.
It lias been found that for approxi
mately half the time the mean wind
velocity Is in miles an hour, and
for about onethlrd of the time 16
miles. In Hie winter the averaKes
are hlnher. The Rrent difficulty
arises from the calm periods, which
may last three days or een a week;
but It has been shown that economi
cal llKhtliiB plants can be based upon
wind power by providing g.isnliiio
motors to take up the work when
ever the wind falls.
