The SPORTING WORLD
Fooraler on Anto Driving.
Henri Fournler, the world's greatest
chauffeur, has some very valuable
Ideas on the subject of auto driving.
Fournler says that In order to become
a trustworthy motorist a man must be
gin early and practice long. lie must
not become afflicted with that ever
prevalent disease, overconfldence, and
should always be cool and cautious.
The French speed demon names the
ability to steer as being one of the Im
portant requisites for the successful
chauffeur. He speaks as follows on the
subject: "Any man who has ridden a
bicycle should be able to adapt himself
to auto driving without much trouble.
HENKI FOUKNIER IN HIS MORS MACHINE.
A steady hand is absolutely necessary,
and practical experience as a steers
man is the only means of obtaining it.
"In regard to overcontidence. I will
say this much. The man who affects to
know everything about automobiles
and automobiling is a dangerous per
sonage to come in contact with. The
worst smashups I have ever seen were
brought about by operators who imag
ined that their reputations would
shield them from all chance of mis
hap."
Indoor Athletic Meet In New York.
The annual winter athletic meet of
the Knickerbocker Athletic club, which
is scheduled for Madison Square Gar
den on the evening of Feb. 3, 1902,
gives promise of being a very success
ful affair. At this meet the athletes,
who make It a point to compete in
doors throughout the winter season,
will be dealt quite leniently with so far
as spiked shoes are concerned, for there
will be no restrictions. The competitors
may wear spikes or not, as they wish.
The lnterschoiastic team relay race,
eight laps, each runner to run two
laps, will no doubt prove the star event
on the programme.
The other events are a 60 yard run,
novice; 60 yard run, handicaps 220
yard run, handicap; 440 yardl ran,
handicap; 880 yard run, handicap;

Unless the owners of the Brooklyn
Baseball club are wide awake they will

Fame toy Chance.
The story of William Allen White's
sudden leap into fame through his
"What's the matter with Kansas"
editorial is familiar to everybody, but
it is not generally known by what a
narrow opportunity Mr. White got
there. It was in the summer, and Mr.
White's wife was at Colorado Springs.
He was about to join her there for a
rest and had written in advance ed
itorials enough to carry along his pa
per during his absence. So at least
he thought, aiwl he was leaving the
office when his foreman came in and
asked what provision he had made for
the editorial columns during his ab
sence.
"There on that hook," said the ed
itor, pointing to a spike on his desk
upon which was impaled a quantity
jof manuscript. The foreman detained
Mr. White while he glanced it over
and announced that there wasn't
enough copy.
"Give mo a little more," he pleaded,
"and I'll manage to get along."
"All right." said the editor, dropping
Into his chair. He thought a few mo
ments, dashed off the vigorous para
graphs, handed them to the foreman
and went off for his train.
When he returned, he found his desk
heaped two feet deep with letters and
himself a national character. It was
that last editorial that did it.
Valuable Statistics.
G. Bernard Shaw, the eccentric Eng
lish novelist, essayist and playwright,
who is never so happy as when he is
stirring up controversy, has lately tak
en up the cudgels against vaccination.
In a speech in London he ridiculed the
statistical claims advanced by the vac
cinationists, saying they reminded him
of the report made upon an investiga
tion into the prevalence of the drink
habit in a British regiment in India.
"The investigator," said Mr. Shaw,
"was informed that 50 per cent of the
teetotalers had been invalided home,
while the remaining 00 per cent were
dead. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the total number of teeto
talers in the regiment had been two.
One man had been eaten by a tiger,
and the other had been injured by a
pulley block fa lliug on his head."

IMPORTED A PALACE
HOW MRS. JACK GARDNER HAS STAR
TLED BOSTON SOCIETY.
Now She Is to Open Her Venetian
Blade Residence With a Grand
llonscTi nrmlnK I'arty—Another Hus
ton Woman Strives to Oatdo Her.
That Mrs. Jack Gardner of Boston
never does things by halves in a social
I way has been shown time after time,
and society is on the tiptoe of expec
| tancy for the new surprise she has in
j etore for it. Some time ago Mrs. Gard
! ner decided there was nothing quaint
or novel enough for her in American
architecture, and so she went abroad
and purchased a Venetian palace. This
was brought to America and rebuilt on
spacious grounds in the Hub and will
be thrown open to her friends on Jan.
6. Her enterprise has been kept as se
cret as possible, and it is only recently
that a description of the palace was
secured.
It was about a year ago that Mrs.
Gardner decided upon the building of
her Italian gardens. She found a pal
ace in Venice which was for sale, with
furnishings from the roof down. She
bought it, had it dismantled and each
separate piece packed for shipment to
Boston. There, in Back Bay Fens, she
had old world artisans put every stone
and pilaster into place again.
One of the two main entrances to the
palace is near Huntington avenue, and
this leads into a narrow corridor, from
which opens a long and spacious music
hall. At the farther end of this hall is
a stage, which is said to be large
enough to seat the entire Symphony or
chestra. On either side of the second
entrance are reception rooms, and be
yond them is a corridor with arches of
red brick and a red tiled floor. Be
yond this arched passage is the court
yard, which occupies the center of the
palace. It is 50 by 75 feet in dimen
sions and is covered with a roof of
glass. Around it on the lower floor is
an arcade, with beautiful Corinthian
columns of white marble, and opening
on its four sides are large square win
dows on the three upper stories.
There are some wide corridors on the
lower floor, in which many rare art
treasures have been placed.
Leading to the floor above are stair
cases of marble, and here, across the
frout of the building, stands a large

PALACE.
room which will be used as a picture
gallery. There is also on this floor a
Dutch room, with an old fashioned
fireplace and a ceiling of black oak and
with its beams so arranged aa to form
fifteen square panels. Set in these
panels are paintings by the old Flem
ish masters. A companion room to the
picture gallery is on the third floor,
and here will be kept Mrs. Gardner's
great collection of rare old books. Near
here is a Gothic room, with one large
rose window and others, smaller, of
stained glass. This room is fitted up
with carved settles and a space left for
an altar and will no doubt be used as
a chapel.
Mrs. Gardner's apartments are in the
upper story of the palace. Her suit
extends across the front of the build
ing and consists of a boudoir, sleeping
and bath rooms. The walls of the
boudoir are hung with red tapestry,
the bathroom is tiled in white, and
four inscriptions in Latin are on the
walls. In the sleeping room Is a carved
marble fireplace, which was formerly
in Mrs. Gardner's Beacon street home.
The servants' quarters are also in the
upper story and are comfortable and
spacious, and there is no lack of clos
ets and pantries. Across the rear of
the building extends a large dining
hall.
The palace contains all the modern
improvements and conveniences, but
these have been so concealed as to in
no way mar the beauty of the archi
tecture or to seem incongruous with
the Venice of the middle ages. The
building will be lighted by electricity
and heated by hot air coming through
openings in the walls. All the larger
rooms have fireplaces, with hoods of
various designs. The ballroom in the
palace is said to be the largest prlvute
room of its kind in that city.
Mrs. Gardner's Venetian palace will
not be the only one in Boston, how
ever. Her social rival, Mrs. Charles
F. Sprajrue, the wife of a former rep
resentative in congress, now in an asy
lum, is preparing to outdo her in the
fad of importing them. She has bought
an older and much larger Venetian pal
ace, and it is now being razed and the
parts prepared for shipment. The ma
terials will be sent to Boston and used
iu transforming Mrs. Sprague'a coun
try home at Brookllne into an Italian
palace that will, so Mrs. Sprague'a set
declares, far surpass Mrs. Gardner's.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Hrdicnl Properties That Are Found
lu Common Venetßhlm.
| Tliftrc seeuis no excuse for the contin
unl use of drugs if tbe same remedial
effects are to be found in tbe more
palatable form of vegetables and fruits.
Does tbe system demand sulphur? We
tind it in turnips, onions, cabbage, cau
liflower, watercress and horseradish.
The much maligned potato is rich in
i salts of potash. French beans and len
tils give iron. Watercress contains a
sulpho nitrogenous essential oil, iodine,
iron, phosphate and other salts, and
spinach salts of potassium and iron in
| such quantities that the French term
' » it"the broom of tbe stomach," and food
1 ' specialists rate it as tbe most precious
1 of vegetables.
1 j In case of anaemia cabbage, cauliflow
-1 ; er and spinach proved distinctly bene-
I ficinl. "Love apples," our modern to
mato, stimulated the healthy action of
the liver. Asparagus was beneficial in
kidney troubles. Celery was a sure
i cure for rheumatism and neuralgia.
The carrot formed blood and added to
the beauty of the skin. Beets and tur
nips ke] i i'.o bl..i d ; .we :.:..l improved
the ajjpetite. Water cress, like aspara
gus, was good for the kidneys and was
a stimulant to mind and body. Lettuce
was extremely beneficial for tired
nerves and the lassitude peculiar to
spring.
Parsley proved an excellent tonic and
also cleared the complexion, while the
whole array of "greens," mustard, cow
slip, horseradish, dock, dandelions,
young beet tops and even stalks of tbe
milkweed were religiously added to the
springtime bill of fare, to clear the
blood, regulate the system and remove
that tired feeling so closely associated
with the vernal season.
CARE OF THE TEETH.
How to Beautify and I'rufrre Tfcem
From Decay.
Without good teeth there cannot be
good mastication.
Without thorough mastication there
cannot be perfect digestion, and poor
health results.
Hence the paramount importance of
sound teeth.
Clean teeth do not decay.
The importance of a sound first set
of teeth is as great to the child as a
sound second set is to the adult.
Children should be taught to use tbe
toothbrush early.
Food left on the teeth ferments, and
the acid formed produces decay.
Decay leads in time to pain and the
total destruction of the tooth.
The substance of the following rules
should therefore be impressed upon all
children:
The teeth should be cleansed ut least
once daily.
The best time to clean the teeth is
ufter tbe last meal.
A small toothbrush with stiff bristles
should be used, brushing up and down
and across and inside and outside and
in between the teeth.
A simple tooth powder or a little soap
and some precipitated chalk taken up
on the brush may be used if the teeth
are dirty or stained.
It is a good practice to rinse the
mouth out after every meal.
All rough usage of the teeth, such as
cracking nuts, biting thread, etc.,
should be avoided, but the proper use
of the teeth in chewing is good for
them.
When decay occurs, it should be at
tended to long before any pain results.
It is stopping of a small cavity that is
of the greatest service.
The Northwest and the Combine.
It looks as though the great railway
combine lately chartered under the
name of the Northern Securities com
pany might have a rather dusty road
to travel in the northwest The gov
ernors of the states through which the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
! pass from Lake Superior to the Pacific
ocean seem disposed to "line up" and
1 call upon their legislatures to help
them resist what they regard as a con
solidation of "parallel and competing
lines."
Governor Van Sant of Minnesota,
across whose state these roads pass,
has expressed himself vigorously in
opposition to the merger and will fight
[ it to the end. He is reported as claim
ing that be is assured that Montana,
I North Dakota and Washington will
■ follow the lead of Minnesota in this
I action, and the intimation Is strong
' that a concerted movement will be
made all along tbe northwestern line
j against the combination.
It is claimed on behalf of the rall
, roads that this company cannot be af
, fected by legislation following the
transaction. On the other hand, the
i Minnesota courts in 1895 decided
t against the validity of a lease of the
' Northern Pacific to the Great Northern
on grounds which are now to be used
1 as the basis of the present antimerger
movement. It may be that here will
come the first serious skirmish bo
. tween the people and the railroad corn
> bines. At all events the contest will be
> watched with keenest interest.

The winter petticoats are made with

ing the example of tbe dress skirt,
however, the top of the petticoat is
very much gored and tits snugly about
tbe hips. In choosing silk for a petti
coat avoid the tempting glace which
shines so alluringly. It Is abominable
to make, abominable to wear, and It
rustles far too much to be in good

taste. Broad yokes share favor with
narrow bands, through which the
gathering string is run. The new
skirts are sufficiently gored and fitted
not to require the wide yoke, how
ever.
Many of the newer petticoats are
made with a train. The reason of this
is that they are often used as slips,
particularly in the case of nonsilk pet
ticoats, which save one's silk slip skirt.
To uplift a petticoat that Is trained a
hook and eye are applied somewhere
about the center seam. ,
For ordinary wear skirts of moirette, J
alpaea and sateen are useful. They
are made with fancifully tucked ruf
fles. Sateen also makes a good petti
coat, but gloria silk, a mixture of silk
and linen, is especially desirable, as !t
is lightweight and closely imitates silk.
Two useful and stylish petticoats j
are shown in the cut. One is of tucked |
black gloria silk. The flounce is laid
In tiny tucks In order to give addi
tional fullness. Six inch wide ribbons
give a dressy appearance to tbe other- j
wise plain rtlffie.
The second petticoat is more elab
orate. It is made of taffeta, with the
ruffle cut into scallops edged with two
rows of fussy ruching. The upper part
of the flounce is laid in clusters of |
three tucks. JCDIC CIIOLLET.

says that he has known it to cure in
scores of cases, and it never fails if
applied in season. A cure for bone fel
on is much the same. As soon as the
disease is felt put directly over the spot
a blister of Spanish fly about the size
of the thumb nail and let it remain for
six hours, at the expiration of which
time, directly under the surface of the
blister, may be been the felon, which

NEW DKESS MATERIALS. |
TolorM and Temtwre* Worn by Fftik

Dressy costumes are made in the
palest of pastel shades, chiefly in cafe

is their material. For lesser occasions
there are charming zibeline effects
both in pastel colorings and in reds
and browns. Black rough goods, strip
ed in white hairlines, with a sunny ef

Concerning Side Ditchea.
When the road is in an excavation,
great care should be taken that a side
ditch is provided on each side to carry
away the water so that it shall not run
down the middle of the road, as is fre
quently the case. Every road should
have side ditches, even one that runs
straight down the side of a hill. The
steepest road needs the side ditch most, 1
but often has none. Frequently the
water runs down the middle of the
I road 011 a side hill and wears it into
gullies, which are a discomfort and
perhaps dangerous in both wet weather
and dry. The water must not be suf
fered to run in the road, but must be
made to run off the road.

When Marconi first began his cxperl- i
tnents with wireless telegraphy, he
was strong in the belief that the ulti
mate result would be the sending of
messages across the wide Atlantic
without the use of wires. That his
faith was well founded was shown re
cently, when he flashed signals from
St. John's, N. F„ to Cornwall, England,
e distance of 1,700 miles. This achieve
ment places him among the foremost
Inventors of the world.
The story of the struggle and tri
umph of this young genius of Anglo-
Italian parentage fills one of the bright
est pages in the history of science.
He was born at Marzzbotta, near Bo
logna, of an Italian father and an
English mother in 1875 and displayed
a taste for scientific subjects in his
boyhood.
The inventor is a singularly modest
chap, with prominent nose, high fore
head and dreamy eyes—quite the typ
ical inventor. His face frequently
takes on the expression of a man who
has drifted into realms of profound
thought.
Marconi speaks both English and
Italian with equal fluency and, while
positive in his opinions about his great
Invention, is as modest as real gen
iuses generally are. He was educated
at the famous University of Bologna,
the oldest university in the world, and
It was at this institution, under the
tutelage of Professor A. Righi, that he
conceived and gave shape to his system
of wireless telegraphy. He carried out
many experiments on his family estate
near Bologna before discovering the
Important fact that electric waves gen
erated by a sparking apparatus of the
kind used by the lamented German
physicist Heinrich Hertz would carry
to a long distance and were unaffected
by Intervening hills and natural ob
stacles. That discovery was the great
turning point in his life.
In 1890 the inventor went to Eng
land and there found his first trusting
patrons. The British postal authorities
received him cordially, took an interest

bis efforts. Ho worked night and day
to improve his methods and increase
his records. By establishing communi
cation between captive balloons and
perfecting the experiments with pole
stations Marconi startled the English
scientists. To test him a Dublin news
paper engaged him to report the Kings
ton yacht races. He was successful
and soon afterward was at work in the
English channel, the result of which
was the establishment of wireless com
munication between Dover and Bou
logne.
While in England one of his notable
achievements was keeping the Prince
of Wales, who was on the royal yacht
Osborne, in touch with Queen Victo
ria's household m ner last illness. Mes
sage after message was exchanged.
Marconi finally won the great triumph
of directing the English fleet In its ma
neuvers, sending messages more than
eighty miles from one ship to another
and 130 miles through two ship sta
tions. English confidence was then
thoroughly established and the system
adopted by the British navy.
The dreams of Marconi began to be
realized when in March, 1899, he re
ceived official permission from the
French authorities for an experiment
between Dover and Calais. By this
time his success in sending wireless
messages over long distances, in some
Instances thirty-two miles, attracted
the attention of Emparor William of
Germany, who Instructed experts to
experiment with the wireless system
for the benefit of the German army
and navy. It is said that nearly every
experiment made was a success.
Marconi finally decided to come here
and show us his wonders. After dem
onstrating the usefulness of the system
and reporting the international yacht
races he established a wireless station
©n Nantucket South Shoals lightship,
forty-two miles offshore, and another
at Siasconsett, Island of Nantucket. A
set of instruments bad been placed on
the steamship Lucanla, bouud for thla
port, and messages were exchanged
which told the whereabouts of the Lu
canla twelve hours earlier than would
otherwise have been known. More am
bitious experiments followed, and Mar
coni's latest achievement is evidence
thut wireless telegraphy is about to
become a fact and not a theory only.
