Tfjaterestoirw American Woman Atrict Honored. Another American woman has been recognized In one of the foreign coun tries, and this time the honor has fall en to Miss Mnry Powers, a young mem ber of the American Art Students' club, whcs- pnlntliiR has received at tention at the current Paris salon. It has also been purchased by the state for one of tho pfrnianent collections. This Is tho only one of the Instances where the American woman has tri umphed in tho field of art 8hort-Skirted Girl and Sale of Shoes. A shoe retailer tolls the writer that women's fashionable short skirts are of much help to the trade. Short skirts make women very much more watchful of their shoes. A woman who cares anything at nil for her dress has to lock sharply after her footwear. The Bhort-si-.lrted r;irl of a year or two ago is not In it nt all with tho Bhort Hkirted girl of the present season. The swing-clear skirt no more resembles the short skirt cf a few years ao than the dreR3 of today resembles the dress of the tailor-made period. One was all severity. Tho other is all Kraoe. One made a woman annular and awk ward and masculine. The other adds a femlnlno touch even to the homeliest figure. The skirts of this season, those that are made on the new art lines, all swing elenr. If they touch they are of the round length that is, the length which Just touches the floor all the way round, making tho shoes a prom inent featuro of the costume. All cf which augurs well for tho shoe busi ness. Shoe Retailer. Trolley Car Rides. These rules aro not poBted up tn the trolley cars, but It wouldn't do any harm if they were: Get aboard with as much expedition as possible. The pasengers In the cars aro in a hurry. If a crowded open car, hastily sine up the occupants of each seat. Five persons of average site are supposed to fill a scat, hut four greedy ones can spread themselves out to do it. If a crowded closed car go all the way up front. You stand more chance of getting a seat, and anyhow you will be less in tho way. Have your fare where you can got at tt easily and instantly. If you aro In the end scat and a woman with a baby set cn, for sweet pity's sake move over. What Is only rudeness tn other cases Is sheer cruel ty tn this case. There will be plenty of other opportunities to be an end seat hog." Get eff with your face towards tho front. Besides the Inconvenience to yourself of being pitched on your back In the street. It gives the passengers nervous prostration to see yen back la gdown with both hands, as it were, Into the face of danger. Fringed Lights. Bead fringe edges are now almost universal for lamp and candle shades. Removes 6talns. Kerosene will remove Ink stains and fresh paint, while nothing takes out blood stains better than cold soapsuds to which kerosene has been added. New York Clty.Elon jackets are peculiarly well adapted to young girls Naval Nurses' Pay. The nurses attached to the United States Navy Hospital corps, stationed at the Naval Home on Gray's Ferry road, have started a movement by which they hope tc sacure greater rec ognition and more pay. They say that the men who nurse and care for the sick soldiers on ship and shore are poorly paid, compared With other branches cf the service. The rate of pay which they have fixed upon as a fair return for their services Is as follows: Hospital apprentice, per month, 20; nurse, third class, $30; second class, 135; first class, $40; steward, $70. ' The lengthening of the course at tho Naval hospital, Norfolk, Vs., from three to six months is recommended; also that all nurses on completing the course should receive an increase of $2 per mcnth during their future ser vice. " ' Members of the corps contend that a hospital steward, by reason of the duties required of him, ought to) be paid at least $70 a month, the pay drawn by many petty officers, whoso duties require much less intelligence Another suggestion made, and which the corps have to have favorably ccn sldered. Is the matter of stationing married nurBes on shore, where they can be near tbelr families. The Successful Traveler. The Buoceauful traveler ' never com- plains. Complaint Is a foolish and useless habit If the trouble can be removed or avoided, set to work to so abolish It. If It cannot be helped,, endure the in vitable in silence. Complaint, after all, Is really the voicing of Belf-plty, the weakest and moat womauish of all the smaller weaknesses. The successful traveler Is always punctual. We have all seen, endured, and an athemailsod the fussy woman who keeps 10 people waiting while she Out ters airily but Ineffectively with trifles f nor costurlng; who prevents Whole roomful of Indignant mortals from ; going to sleep by the tedious twisting of ber locks Into curl papers, who Is never on time at meals, at the train gate, or the steamboat landing. "We will never Invite her again," Is the Just verdict of the majority of the party. The successful traveler Is unselfish. Ilehold the pretty girl. She tolls not, when every one in the party is doing their share; she always gets the only scat In the car; she coolly ap propriates the best of everything; she looks fair and sweet when the other women are worn and tired from their exertions; she monopolizes the ntten tion of the male element, and smiles aggravatingly when any one tries to awaken her to a sense of wrongdoing. Can any one call a pretty girl pig gish? Yea verily, under these circum stances! She Is another one who will not bo Invited again. Then the supersensitive mortal. Even under the best of circumstances, this misguided unfortunate is one of the greatest trials human flesh Is heir to; and on a vacation party, the bun dle of nerves Is a trial to the wholo party. Iulse Scatterthwalle, in the Philadelphia Record. The Baby's Danger. When a tchlld first comes into the world Its hold upon life is very slight, and may be, and often Is, broken by any one of several possible accidents. Fortunately nature tries to take care of and strengthen this feeble grasp of exsltenee. Life at first depends mainly on the Im mediate establishment of the breathing process. The first Impulse of some ba bies, born pessimists, seems to be to ward a determined attempt at suicide. They hold the breath until they are black in the face, and have to be quite seriously disciplined to bring them to their little sense. Generally, however, nature does not require any assist ance In these matters. She simply lm presses upon the little citizen a real izing sense of all that is before him In this vale of tears, and the foretaste is too much for htm. He bursts forth In a lusty yell and then be can not help taking deep breaths, even If he would. The same thing is accom plished by a little slap in the case of the breathlng-holdlng-would-be-Bulclde Just referred to. The thought of the Indignity of such treatment from a nurse makes htm gasp, and then the spell Is broken, and he, too, sets up a shout that leads wl!ly-nll!y, to nor mal breathing. Certain accidents may interfere with this natnral process. The air tubes, for Instance, may be choked with mu cub which the child cannot expel. Or It may be such a weak boby that It cannot make the muscular effort nec essary to Inflate Its lungs. This is why that first feeble squalling is so wel come a sound, for it meanB that baby Is fully alive and asserting Itself. If this crying Is not promptly heard, It is safe to assume that something Is wrong, and tho baby must be looked To Get Rid of Rain Spots. To remove rain spots from your silk dress, Iron on the wrong side with a moderately hot Iron. A piece of mus lin laid over the silk as It Is Ironed will prevent any possibility of its ac quiring a shiny look. Care of Silver Ornaments. Sliver ornaments should never be kept In wadding, which only tends to tarnish them. Wrap each article up In tissue paper, and any tarnish Is re moved by damping a piece of tissue and rubbing the tarnished part, drying It with a clean piece of tissue. It Is also effective In cleaning gold Jowelry. Newspapers for Cleaning. Washing and dusters can be avoided by using old newspapers for cleaning They aro excellent for window polish ers, first rate for scouring tinware with, and aro as good as a brush foi polishing a stove. A good pad of newspapers should be kept at hand for wiping up grease or water spilt on tho gas or coal cooking stove. To Reduce Ice Bills. An Ice economizer means a smaller Ice bill to tho houiipkeeper. A pad can be specially prepared, which, as soon as it becomes damp from the melting of the Ice, throws out a blast of cold air, which envelops the Ice and prevents It from melting too rapidly. It possesses proerties whlt'H com pletely eliminate decomposition from moisture and prevent the formation of slime, Insuring complete sanitation. missxs' etom jAritr.r. and ore In the height o' present styles.

The flare of the skirt was nn' plied by a wide foot ruffle, shirred nnd finished with small circular tucks. The waist had a yoke and collar of shir ring, and bad two rows of the gold bordered lace running ncross It. Those were trimmed with a Utile fringe made of strips of the not stitched and finished nt the ends with tinsel balls. The girdle was of champagne colored silk Military Alilrt WiiUt. The love of tho military, said to be Inherent In femlnlno human nature. Is making Itself apparent In prevailing stylos and appears In the waists as well as In the outer garments. The very stylish model Illustrated shows the characteristic epaulettes nnd Is ap propriate to tlie whole range of waist lug materials. The model, however. Is made of white vesting simply stitched nnd trimmed with pearl but tons. To facilitate the laundering the epaulettes are finished nt tho front edges and buttoned into place. The waist consists of the fronts, bnck, epaulettes and sleeves. The back Is tucked to give the effect of a single box pleat nt the centre and the fronts to form wide box pleats that extend Useful Hints. A person who lives on the shores of the Great Lakes says that fish Is much Improved In flavor if fried In fat that had been used for a former frying, and that baked fish Is much nicer It skew ered with thin slices of salt pork. The odor that clings bo persistently to a utensil In which fish or onions have been fried may be dispelled b placing In a hot oven for 10 or 15 minutes after washing and drying. Doughnuts will not soak lard so readily if equal amounts of lard and beef fat aro i ;1. A few drops of spirits of turpentine on a cube of loaf sugar will relieve a cough when other remedies have failed. to. If It Is lying motionless, and evi dently too feeble to bear a gentle shake or a spat, the best thing to do la to take a hint from nature and stimulate the nerves of the skin. This can be done In several ways. One good plan is. to rub the surface of the body with a little brandy poured into the palms of the hands. If this falls, alternate applications of heat and cold to the skin will sometimes excite the needed gasping. This Is done by having one basin full of warm (of course not too hot) and another basin of cold wator, and plunging the baby first into the warm water for a moment, and then Into the oold. This may be repeated if necessary. Happily, the doctor is generally at. hand to start the new baby on its road, and determine on the best method if It shows signs of balking." Fashion Notes. Harmony in dreBS is still further promoted by those Inexpensive para sols which come In all the season's colors. One wonders Just why It is better to wear the long hatrcomb vertically in stead of horizontally, but so it is ordained. Considering that foulards are sup posed to be "out," one sees surprising ly numerous and pleasing get-ups in those silks. Petits chapeaux tilted over the face and elaborate trimming falling grace fully over the back are among fash Ions revived. Just such a' meandering trimming as ornaments bead bags has broken out in pink and blue and green beads an taffeta gowns. Madam who looks after her hus band's modlshneBS will buy him soft shirts with bis monogram embroi dered largely thereon. Very sheer, fine quality, tucked Bhlrt waists without other trimming are the favorites of the moment to wear wltb duck or linen skirts. The 'par roll of the United SUtet navy is $20,000,000 a year. Afternoon Tea on the Porch. Five o'clock tea is an important feature of porch life, and some of tho new porch furniture is designed espe cially for this purpose. Few peoplo nowadays make tea be fore their guests, preferring to have it brought In on a tray. Wooden trays with brass handles are excellent, and so are those old fashioned ones of Japanned tin paint ed in Impossible roses. The tea service should not bo too dainty. It goes well with cotton prints and the like and If a cup and saucer, or by chance a half .dozen fall to tho flooj It would not bo a family calamity. A table is needed for extra cups and saucers, for biscuits and tea cakes. Another useful piece is the Ancestor muffin tray of Sheraton pattern. Whllo this Is really a breakfast prop erty. It can be made a useful adjunct to the porch table. It suggests muf fins and scones and other things, that combine so well with the steaming tea pot. When It comes to cushions and pil lows there is a bewildering choice. Silks and satins do not belong to the porch. Rod pes. Sweet Crumpets. An Englishwo man's recipe for sweet crumpets calls for two cupfuls of flour, two cupfuls of milk, three eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, a level tablespoonful of sugar, a tcospoonful of cream of tar tar and half a teaspoonf ol of soda. Cream Scones. Put into a bowl one pint of sifted flour, four level tea spoonfuls of baking powder, one tea spoonful of sugar and half a teaspoon- ful of salt; mix well; rub in with tips of fingers four level tablespoonfuls of butter; add two eggs woll beaton and one-third cup of cream; toss on a floured board and roll out three-quarters of an Inch thick; cut In squares. brush with white of egg, sprinkle wjtb sugar ana uaue in not oven 15 mm utes. Haricot of Mutton. Cut about two bounds of mutton from the shoulder Into Inch pieces; sprinkle with salt; put one tablespoonful of dripping into a frying pan; add to it one finely chopped onion; when It has slightly browned add two tablespoonfuls of flour; then add the meat and one pint of boiling water; put this all Into a stew pan; add five or six small white onions; cover tho pan and cook slowly until the meat Is tender: when ready to serve put the haricot In the centre ft a hot platter and garnish with green peas, lima beans and boiled cap rota.

During an early morning thunder storm In April a fire ball descended at Earl's Fee. in Essex, England, with a blinding flash and a terrific explosion. After dawn three distinct sets ot holes, ranging from nine inches down to one inch, were found In the stiff, yellow clay of an oat field, these holes being perfectly circular, as clean cut aa though bored with an augur, and tapering downward to the rounded bottoms. The Influence of the depth of the sea on the speed of ships has been tested by tho German navy In the Baltic, torpedo boats being used for tho experiments, and the results are curious and Interesting. At 12 knots no Influence was shown. At 15 to 21 knots shallow water acted as a serious check, but while In four fathoms of water the horse-power needed to main tain 20 knots was double that required for the same speed In 10 fathoms or more, the worst results at 22 to 28 knots were obtained in 10 to 12 fathoms, and the shoals ot four fathoms gave the least resistance. A remarkable property of aluminum and tin alloys has been described by Hector Pechaux to the Paris academy. When freshly filed surfaces of four different mixtures of these two metals were plunged Into cold distilled water, bubbles of oxygen and hydrogen were given off for two orthree minutes, but neither of the metals nor an unfiled surface of the alloys gave any such effect. It Is supposed that tempering in casting separated the two metals into Juxtaposed molecules, which formed a thermo-electric couple and generated an electric current until cooled to the temperature of the water.

Wherever the demand is made, the engineer must make the face of the earth fit his purpose, in the wilds ot the Andes he must throw bis struc ture of steel across a torrential ravine from a precipice on one side to the mouth ot a tunnel on the other. At distances of thousands of miles from the place of manufacture the parts of tho bridge must fit like watch works when put together In the finished structure. Five years ago the Pencoyd Bridge company of Philadelphia manufactur ed for the English government the famous Atbara bridge In seven spans of one hundred and fifty each, weigh ing one and one-half million poundi, In 29 working days. The metal was shipped to Egypt, and carried more than 1000 miles up the Nile valley i Into the Soudan. After arriving at Its destination It was put together on Its plors, ready for railway traffic within CO days, without using any timber staging and with absolute ac curacy of fit In all Its parts, This bridge was Imperative for the success of the plans of Lord Kitchener in the campaign that made his fame and for tune. In 1900 tho Pennsylvania Steel com pany built the Goktelk double-track railroad viaduct to cross a ravine in Burma. This viaduct Is nearly half a mile long and nearly 325 feet high In Its highest portion, and tho weight' ot manufactured metal was about three and one bait million pounds. This structure was shipped from the place of manufacture Just about halt way around the globe, and then transport ed several hundred miles Inland, and rapidly erected, with every bolt and rivet fitted accurately In Its place.

In his book he gives this Incident as a re sult of one such Inquiry: Near the point where the army left the Kennebec are four or five acres of cleared ground and two small farm houses. Mr. Smith Inquired of the venerable proprietor of one of these places If there were any evidences In the vicinity ot Arnold's march through the country. "Oh, yes," replied the old mis, "there used to be a big rock in my mowing field, with 'B. D. A.' on it; but the old thing was in the way, and I blasted It out." "What did those letters mean, B. D.
