The Happiest Woman. "The happiest .woman," says Mrs Hetty Green, "Is the one who sits by the fircsfde and says, 'Yes, dear,' to every Biupltl remark her husband makes." DIt unkind of Hetty to hand a solar plexus punch like this to a pleasant fiction. Kind o' liked fo hear the familiar old jolly once In a while. But It's gone now. Suppose most of us will have to go through the rest of our days being called "Fuzzy-Wuzzy" or "Baldy" or something like that. New York Telegram. A Queen's Scarf. Powerscourt contains the splendid salon In which a banquet was given In honor of George IV in 1S21. Ia the house is a portrait of the founder of powerscourt, -in which he is represent ed as wearing a scarf. It is said that when Wlngfield returned to the court of Queen Elizabeth after efficient ser vices in Ireland, the queen asked him what he expected as his reward. He ..was a gallant courtier, and replied: "The scarf which your majesty wears round your neck will be reward enough for me."I.ondon Onlooker. Character in Hats. A milliner with a turn for philosophy declares that a woman's character 13 Infallibly revealed by the hat she wears. There are audacious hats, mod est hats, ridiculous hats, and hats that reveal the wearer as cautious and se cretive. As a rule, a woman of strong personality may be trusted to choose a hat to suit her. She is strong enough to withstand the temptation to wear something merely fashiona ble. The vulgar, self-assertive woman generally selects a 'loud obtrusive hat but even that I prefer to the funereal style of headgear affected by tho mor bid woman." New York Mall. Intrepid Lady Explorers. By her intrepid iourney of explora tion across the almost untrodden wilds of Labrador, Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, a Canadian lady, who has re cently come to London, has onco more demonstrated the courage with which a fragile, gently nurtured woman can brave hardships and dangers which might well daunt any man. For 12 years Miss Constance Gordon-Cum ming wandered over the earth from the "granite crags of California" to the "fire-fountains of Hawaii," climb - ing in the Himalayas and penetrating Into the heart of China and Thibet, Miss H. M. Kingsley explored the . Cameroon regions, and made herself quite at home among fierce gorillas and fiercer cannibals. Lndy Baker who was the flr?t European to sight Albert Nyanza, thought nothing of walking into the tent of an Arab slaver and fetching out the captives; while Mrs. Jane Moir, rMs. Bishop, Mrs. Marshall, and others also occupy honored places as explorers. West minster Gazette. Dowdy Women In Newport. America ha3 millions of comely women and also boasts the best dress ed maids and matrons in the world but not all the so-called leaders of fashion come within either category. One has only to go to Newport to see how homely and dowdy a really rich woman can be. There, women with hundreds of thousands to spend on dress may be seen in unbecoming hats, ill-fitting frocks and frequently with shocking shoos. Beauties there are, of course, and hundreds who at all hours of tho day or evening are so many sartorial lyrics. But they only serve to emphasize the bad style of the others. One of the wealthiest young women in New York's most ex clusive set dresses like a dairymaid and walks with Ics3 grace. It's not her fault that she's ugly, of course, but a little attention to physical cul ture might keep her from being awk ward, and suroly she at least could wear suitable attire. However, one cannof always judge a woman's grace fulness from a chance po3e, and the critic can rely only on direct observa tion. Nothing is more treacherous than the snapshot. A recent Newport photograph of Hiss Nana Morgan and Miss Edith Colford taken unawares makes them look as if neither ever iiad glimpsed a fashion plate. Tbey lire not among the ungraceful, but that instantaneous picture apparently places them outside the pale of those who know how to. dress and stand. Miss Colford'a toes are turned in acd she is in an ungraceful attitude. But then, neither young womn Is respon sible for the camera's freaks. New 'York Press. Wrinkles May be Banished. ' Wrinkles, those fell destroyers of woman's beauty, are frequently orig inated In sleeping, the position of the bead and face being to blame. It is difficult nay. Impossible to regulate one's sleeping position, but when a person is fully awake care should be taken to avoid frowning or contorting the face In any manner which would leave telltale marks. Scowling is of ten Indulged in without a person be ing aware of It. Without realizing it, the mouth frequently Is drawn to one side In the act of smiling, and in fact, one unwillingly falls into a number of bad habits without knowing It A set expresson is not conducive to the preservation of youth, at the lines become accentuated by a con stant recurrent expression. Persons with mobile faces are less liable to wrinkles, as the play of the muscles is ever changing. Unthinking people wonder why actors and actresses pre- serve a youthful appearance, although advanced in years. These people con stnntly are plajtln? parts which re quire a change of facial expression Therefore the muscles of the counte- nance are exercised and do not be come set ar. J rigid. Extremes of heat and cold are con ducive to wrinkles. Cold cracks the skin and heat wrinkles and dries up the natural oil and makes it colorless. Apartments Bhould be kept at mod erate temperature In order to insure health and beauty. If the skin feels drawn and stiff it must be lubricated with some good emollient before retir ing. In washing the face soap should seldom be used, the bran bag sufficing for all purposes of cleanliness. There 13 nothing better than simple corn meal not too finely ground; it cleanses the pores of the skin thoroughly and leaves It soft and satiny. Cornmeal and bran bags are easily made, and are much le3s expensive than the bought ones; some bran or cornmeal, with shaved castle soap and orris root are the necessary ingredients. They should.be sewed up in a cheesecloth bag and rubbed on the face and hands each time they are washed. New York Journal. Christening the Baby. One of the pretty customs of other countries not so frequently obserevd in this is the christening of a baby. This celebration may -be extremely charming and at the same time simple and inexpensive, and the presence of the Immediate relatives and the god parents makes a small gathering of friends whom one is glad to . have about. Baptisms in church seem to lack a little of the privacy and intimacy of those celebrated at home, and as a baby Is supposed to be named at the age of six weeks, there may be objec tlons to taking it out of doora so soon. Therefore the service is read In the drawing room and an Impronap tu font devised. After the christen ing a buffet lunch is served, says the New York Telegram. It Is understood that only those nearest and dearest are asked to be present at a home christening, and whllo engraved invitations are some times sent out, sentiment is not in favor of informal notes. Those who are asked to stand sponsors take the duties lightly as a rule in this coun try but on the other side of the ocean the godfathers and mothers really be come responsible for the child and are supposed to do what they cap for it all Its life. As the compliment of asking a person to be sponsor to a child is on9 of the greatest that can be paid it should be given only to the most intimate friends or to very near relatives. A girl Is supposed to have two godmothers and one godfather. They stand at tho font with the child. Early in the afternoon or directly at noon are good times for the celebra tion cf the service. It should on no account interfere with the baby's nap. The baby does not appear until all is ready. The drawing room should be decorat ed with simple flowers and at the proper season ncne is prettier than those from the field Euch as butter cups, daUIes, clover and the like. The font should stand at one end of the room and for this a small cloth on which is a small glass bowl, should serve admirably. The bowl should be smothered in white flowers. The mother receives the guests and with the father precedes the baby, nurse and godparents to tho font when the service is to be read. Bab' i3 allowed to stay only a few minutes aftar the service is over, for excitement Is not good for him. Breakfast or luncheon should he an nounced at once, and served from a buffet or tablo a3 at a reception. There may be singing during tho service if one cares to have it and in this case a "baby" song should be chosen. Fashion Notes. Mclre rciterlaU are appearing, They have undergone many changes in weave and design. Patent leather sho?s are in great demand for almost any occ23iou. The hat of blue straw with a black lining has roses and foliage to trim It Dressy silk lace mitts answer the purpose of a glove so perfectly and yet are comfortable. Thrre Is more than a suggestion of the hoop skirt of malodorous memory In the new costumes. Stripes are especially pretty in thin silks, anj seme of the most exclusive importations include them. The cotton voiles are always charm ing, and this season many exceptional ly effective designs have been brought out. All the new moires are dull-finished glowing rather than glistening, and many reproduce the Watteau color ings. No lovller frocks for dressy occa sions have been laucchod this season than the fleecy ones of spotted net worn over foundations of white taffeta vlled with chiffon. The combination of pale tones such as chalk white, cream white and pale ecra which, are ia favor with high- class dressmaker are responsible for many of the most subtle and attrac tive effects seen is costly robes. BRENNAN GYROSCOPE MONORAIL Were It not for the fact that its in ventor bears a distinguished name, and that the exploitation of the de vice occupied two hours of the time of the Royal Society in London, the Erennan gyroscojie locomotive would deserve 110 further notice than Is usually given to any interesting sci entific toy. At the present wilting, indeed, it cannot be regarded as hav ing demonstrated Its practical value, at least as applied to the heavy trains of the kind that are now running on the railroad systemsof tho world. The model locomotive exhibited before the society was only six feet long, and, judging from the illustrations, it mii3t have been of rather light con struction. It' is not Bafe to arguo that because in this small size the in- SIMPLEST FORM OF GYFCSCOPE. THE GYROSCOPE TKA1N ventlon is operative, therefore It would be operative if built to the greater dimensions and enormously greater weight of a full-sized railroad train. We should be prepared to find that the weight and power of the gyroscopes would quickly increase to a point where they would be pro hibitive. That is to say, the ap paratus would be so bulky and heavy, and would make such considerable demands upon tho available power as to render the construction and opera tion of a train of standard size com mercially Impracticable. From a study of tho Illustrations it will bo seen that the locomotive con sists of a long, shallow body, car ried on a pair of two-wheeled motor trucks, one at each end of the car. It is driven by two electric motors, mounted one above the outer wheel of each truck, the pewer being trans mitted by gears inclosed In gear cases, one on each side of tho driving wheels. All four wheels act as drivers, power being transmitted to the inner wheels by means of outside coupling rods, similar to those used on the steam locomotive. The gear case and motors are cleerly shown in the photographs. At each end of the car and mounted centrally above the swiveling trucks is a pneumatic brake cylinder, and above each cylin der Is mounted a hand-wheel, which engages a threaded extension of the piston rod, and is adapted to be uaed in case of a failure of tho pneumatic brake. In the model shown, there is a small closed compartment at the forward end of the car; and in tho after portion of this, mounted on the floor of the car, is the double gyro scope, which Bervcs to maintain the car in equilibrium. The gyroscopes are mounted in an air-tight case in which a partial vacuum is constantly maintained. They rotate in opposite directions In a vertical plane at the high speed of 7500 revolutions per minute. Provision is made for assist- THE GYROSCOPE invented by Louis ing the gyroscopes in returning quickly to the horizontal plane. They are driven by small electric motors. The object of running the gyroscopes In vacuo is, of course, to get rid of the skin friction of the air, and Mr. Brennan, the inventor, claims that he has been so far successful that the model car will remain standing up right on Its single rail for a consider able time after the current has been cot off. The motive power of the model is derived from accumulators carried by the vehicle itself, and cur rent is also drawn from these to keep the gyroscope wheels in motion. In the model it is stated that the weight allotted to the steadying apparatus amounts to only about five per cent, of the total weight. Mr. Brepnan Is sn Australian, who achieved world-wide fame by his in vention of the torpedo called by his name. The British, Government thought so highly of his invention, that it is credited with having paid him $556,000 for the exclusive rlghu to manufacture it. Scientific Americas. THE A Sure Care. A farmer wrote to the editor of an agricultural paper this letter: . "Mr. Editor Sir I have a horse that has been afflicted for the past year with periodical fits of dizziness. Please answer through your valuable paper and let me know what I should do with him, as he seems to get worse Instead of.better. I am afraid he will be unfit for work if something is not done soon." Tho editor replied in the next issue as follows: "Our honest advice, based on a careful perusal of that excellent work, 'Every Man His Own Horse Doctor,' would be to take this horse some time when he U not dizzy and sell him to a stranger." Americas Home Monthly. CJpnuinc Crib. In constructing the majority of the TAKING A SHARP CURVE so-called cribs for babies the manu facturers have entirely lost sight ot the comfort ot the child. Too many of them are made for appearance rather than for ease. This cannot be said of the one shown here, as it Is as cumbersome and ugly as It is sure to be comfortable. Tho Invontor, an Indiana man, evidently endeavored to devi3e a crib that would fulfil its mission. Enough springs ere provid ed to keep the wicker basket in mo tion for a long time after it has been given a start. An important, although 7 Basket as Big as a Bod. small addition, is the rollers on the bottom of the frame. There is thus provided an easy method ot transfer ring the crib from one room to an other. The busy housewife only need stop occasionally in her duties to give the basket a periodical push, the springs doing the rest. MONORAIL CAR. Erennan, C. B. Science and Child Life. During the last quarter of a cen tury statistics have shown a notable increase of the average expectation of the length of human life from birth. It appears that within 100 years this average for most civilized countries has grown from twentv eight to fifty-three years. The sta tistics vary for different countries, but all show an advance. However, as the French scientific Journal, La Nature, points out. this does not mean that the chances have been evenly increased throughout the duration of life, but rather that they have been enormously increased dur ing one period of life, namely, that ot Infancy, and to a smaller degreo in after years. Owing to the progress of hygiene and medical science, the causes of infant mortality have been largely eliminated, the reefn r h- commencement of the voyage of Ufa sre in me main avoided, and the average length of life, counting from the start, appears increased for alL Youth's Companion. - MARKETS.
