The talking postal card is the inven: tion of a French engineer, and has be- come so popular in that country that the American rights have been se- cured and the device will be placed in the cities of the United States. The person wishing to send a talking pos- tal card to a friend, enters the booth and talks into a machine that records the words on the specially prepared postal card. When the recipient re- ceives the card a_ hundred or a thou- sand miles away, he, or perhaps she, takes the card to the nearest postal booth and inserts it in a machiné which talks the message it contains. The record on the postal card is in- destructible and the exact voice of the sender is heard.—Popular Me- chanics. Only One “Bromo Quinine” That is Laxative Bromo Quinine.

The ingenuity of Inventors and manufacturers is ever at work in the endeavor to reduce the.expense of production, and at the same time to improve the quality of articles having a large sale. Tkis is not only benefi- cial to the purchasing public, but it fnures to the benefit of the producer fn increasing sales and preventing competition. This has been «0 in the case of farm machinery, clothing, shoes, bicycles, etc., and now it is ap- parent in the safety razor field. Thou- sands, of this style of razor have been | gold at from $1.50 to $5 each and giv- en satisfaction. Recently manufac- turers have applied more scientific principles and improved methods in their manufacture, and the result is seen in the “Shrp Shavr” razor, which is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents in stamps by the Book Publishing House, 134 Leonard street, New York. It is superior to any razor sold, being bought largely by those already owning the highest priced razors. Not every one Knows that the best results are obtained by hay- ing two or three razors and alternat- {ng them in use. This practice of al- ternating possibly accounts for the very large sale of this low priced im-~ plement. : Posed as Anti-Fat Model.

In the illustration it is made from one of the new, soft satins, com- bined with heavy all-over lace. It in- cludes the Directoire sash and is made with close fitting short sleeves which are distinctly novel and at- tractive. For the plain portions all- over lace, the material embroidered or braided with soutache, the favorite _ An Idea For Braiding. ’ Many suits are made with quite plain cutaway coats in which slits have been made on both sides of the front and through which broad sou- tache braid has been run. The same idea is used also as a decoration for cuffs, and the slits are best button- holed, so that the braid will not tear the material. The end-of the braid is mitered and finished in a silk tassel. The Knotted Sash. Sashes knotted at the left side frontward are to remain one of the smart features of long skirts this sea- son. Whether of silk or satin, they are always on the bias, and must be wide enough not to have a skimpy look. Tassels or passementetie orna- ments are for bottom finish, as well as the more elaborate danglers in silk passementerie, or they are fringed as we have had them. Three-Piece Skirt, Every variation of the skirt that gives a circular effect is to be noted among the later designs, and this one is charmingly graceful and at- tractive, while it is quite novel and gives exceedingly becoming lines. In the illustration broadcloth is trimmed with buttons and with stitching, but every suiting and every skirting ma- terial is appropriate. The darts in the front portion mean absolutely smooth and snug fit over the hips without discomfort, and the back can be laid in inverted pleats or finished in habit style as liked, and whichever method is used the skirt gives long, slender lines. The skirt is made in three pieces, the wide front portion and the two narrower ones, which form the sides Burnous Cape, One Size. net darned or treated in any similar way, all will be found appropriate, although the satin with lace illustrat- .ed is smart in the extreme, The waist is made over ‘a fitted lining and consists of plain and draped portions. - The draped por- tions are crossed one over the other at the back and the sash is attached to them beneath an ornamental buckle. The sleeves are very new, being slashed to form sections, and these sections are shirred and drawn up to make the little rosettes. The quantity of, material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-one or twenty-four, two and one-fourth yards thirty-two, or one and one-half yards forty-four inches wide, one and one-eighth yards of all- over lace and one and one-eighth yards of applique for edging. Wooden Hatpins. The fantastic hand-carved wooden parasol and umbrella handles cut in animal shapes have been copied in hatpins and are seen nestling among the other trimmings on an occasional imported hat. The Tucked Sleeves. There is the greatest amount of interest shown in the new sleeve. All the new ones are snug-fitting, have little fulness, and are shaped in to fit the arm from the wrist up. The Jeweled Comb. The new combs and bareties are so exquisitely set with mock jewels, which make them more than usually expensive, that devices have been de- signed: to specially protect them when they are in use. Many of the combs are threaded with a colored ribbon yelvet. New Style of Hat. One style of hats is called the “run- about” after one has measured the fimensions. and back.

Even the ordinary house gown worn at home will have the long, flow- ing skirt. The short, trimmed one is quite out of date.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW IRON TRADE REVIEW 8ix Hundred Thousand Tons of Old Material Still in Dealers’ Hands. Cleveland.—The Iron Trade Review says: Although the usual holiday dullness is being experienced, the market 1s not weak anywhere. . Since the fariff controversy became animated a con- siderable falling off in specifications on steel products has been noted. The starting of one furnace at the great plant at Gary, Ind., December 21 marks the beginning of manufac- turing at that new industrial center. With the year’s business practically ended, some interesting statistics on the structural market are available. The American Bridge Company deliv- ered about 350,000 tons and contracts for about 200,000 tons are being car- ried over into the new year. Inde- pendent interests turned out about 800,000 tons of structural material, principally on orders booked during the year, as the tonnage was not large. The American Bridge Company will furnish the 11,000 tons of steel re- quired for the Chicago city hall. The principal sales of pig iron were 90,000 tons of basic to an [Eastern Pennsylvania steel plant by a New Jersey furnace company and about 15,000 tons of basic in eastern terri- tory to other consumers and 6,000 to 7,000 tons of foundry to the American Car and Foundry Company by a Tole- do furnace. * The trade, generally speaking, is quiet but firm. The Virginia railroad contract for 1,500 steel cars has been taken by the Pressed Steel Car Com- pany. The Lackawanna railroad has ordered 500 box cars and 300 steel hoppers from the American Car and Foundry Company and the New Or- leans Great Northern has contracted for 300 sttel under-frame box cars from the Standard Steel Car Ccmpa- ny. Considerable steel car business js under negotiation and likely to be placed early in the year. Tinplate specifications were the heaviest the past week of any week since the sum- mer of 1907. A careful estimate shows accumula- tions of old material in dealers’ hands held for higher prices amounting to over 600,000 tons, nearly 500,000 tons being in the Chicago district.

Many of the imported animals run wild and multiply rapidly at the expense of the native species, even the streams being filled with Euro- pean and American trout, which grow to great size. Introduced plants thrive quite as remarkably. New forests are being created designedly because the native trees, though yielding excellent timber, grow very slowly, and already many millions of larches, oaks, spruces, Douglas firs, and encalyptus have been planted, while seedlings from them are being continually added.

Dr. John Atcherley of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, who has practiced 15 years in . the Hawalian islands, now makes public a new theo- ry as to the cause of leprosy. He at- tributes the disease to diet and says it is analogous to scurvy. - He ascribes the disease to restricted diet in which some necessary element is lacking, with the injection of an un- due amount of poisonous bacteria, ptomaines and toxin. = He says all the symptoms resemble scurvy. He says his study has shows leprosy is not contagious. ; An Engineering Test. The civil engineer who has excited more. or less flippant comment by stating that the roosting of birds on a bridge is a good test of the security of the structure ventures to repeat his proposition, and he quotes such distinguished naturalists ‘as Darwin and Audubon in support of his con- tention. Elephants cannot be driven over a weak viaduct, burros refuse to take a dangerous trail and rats are the first to desert a leaking ship. “Call it all an absurd superstition if you will,” says the engineer, “the fact re- mains that some things have their in- fluence on poor, frail humanity that cannot be -supported by logarithmic computation.”—Beston Herald. INTOLERABLE ITCHING. Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face —Professional Treatment Failed —A Perfect Cure by Cuticura. “When my little girl was six months old I noticed small red spots on her right cheek. They grew so large that I sent for the doctor but, instead of helping the erup- tion, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then I went to a second doctor who said it was eczema. He also gave me an oint- ment. which did not help either. The dis- ease spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. The itching grew intoler- able and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors for months, but they were unable to cure the baby. I paid out from $20 to $30 without relief. One evening I began to use the Cuticura Remedies. The next morning the baby’s face was all white instead of red. I continued until the eczema entirely disappeared. Mrs. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon, Ia., July 13, 1908.” Potter Drug & Chem.

A statistical bulletin cn sugar con- sumption in the United States and the sources cof its supply contains inter- esting information, some of which has a strong bearing on issues of the day. It is shown that the total consumption of “sugar in this country aggregated last year slightly over seven billion pounds. That is more than one-fifth the supply of the entire world. At the average retail price of 5% cents this makes its sugar annually, an average of $4.30 for each man, woman and child in this country. oy This supply was furnished in the following proportions: 21.3 per cent from domestic productions 17.7 per cent from the insular possessions and 61 per cent from foreign countries.

Now that President Taylor of Vas- sar has kicked over the traces his eX- ample ought to be followed by fellow educators. Dr. Taylor says he has got through with begging money for his institution, “the most disagreezble job” in the business, and suggesés i:at other college presidents say to their trustees: “I am through; I will do mo more of that. If I can see an ©pPOI- tunity of asking a man to contribute $100,000, I will do it, but I will not beg for $15 and $20 and $50.” In Dr. Taylor's opinion, the raising of funds for colleges is a matter for business men and not for teachers. The head of a great educational institution 1s supposed to be a scholar, and more than that, to be skilled in imparting his knowledge to others. He is ex- pected to surpervise the duties of his professors, to enforce the college dis- cipline, and by his personal example to be an inspiration’ to the student. To do all this he must be on the ground and not traveling about the country like a drummer. There are students in American colleges who see their presidents on an average of twice a vear: in October and June.
