Tlie Beat of Ccnson*.
As soon as there comeg a suggestion
of frostlness in the air there Is an ex
cuse for the smartly gowned woman
to swathe her throat in some one of
the many pretty and becoming boas
she is so fond of wearing. For some
occult and feminine reason she does not
consider her costume complete without
this finishing conceit—a conceit which
goes through slight changes with the
coining of each season, but which in
tlie etui is a mass of soft and Huffy
chiffon or lace of a color that sets off
to the best advantage a woman's fea
tures.
It is not so much on account of the
warmth possessed by these airy ac
cessories that they are so well liked,
nor for tlie comfort of having some
thing high at the back of the neck,
though it is a fact that after once
wearing a ruche or a boa a woman
doesn't feel quite cldc if she appears
on the street without one. The real
reason they are so popular—if you
could get a woman to explain her very
evident fondness for boas and other
reck creations—is because they add to
the attractiveness of any face, be it
young or old.
Ynltip of Fresh Air.
Sleeping in the open air has passed
the life limit of a "fad" and assumed
the proportions of a habit. It is, more
over, a growing habit, the motto of
which is "with nothing between you
and the sky." Only in summer is it
possible to push this habit to the ex
treme, of course, and even then so
meager are the sky sleeping accommo
dations of the average home that
few can enjoy the luxury indicated in
the motto. The number of persons who
take to tents and repose in hummocks
swung in the open air in the summer,
however, increases each year. This is
particularly true of young children,
hundreds of whom during the past
summer were emancipated from stuffy
nurseries and given their naps on piaz
zas and balconies or upon tlie hand
breadth of grass plot diguitied by the
name of "dooryard" in city homes.
Such children, in their plump beauty
•and infantile good nature, are the best
possible witnesses to tlie efficacy of
the "open air sleeping cure," if cure it
may be called, since, more properly
speaking, it is a preventive instead.—
Portland Oregouian.
An Autumn Note.
Autumn said to dying summer:
"Sweet were your songs and softly
went your winds above the blue hanks
of violets and gardens where your lilies
were like altars of sweet worship. But
the beautiful dies and leaves us but tlie
rose of memory, kissed of sad sunlight,
and the rain that Love calls tears.
Your birds have left their nests, laced
in tlie sheltering trees; your llowers are
but phantoms; your streams have sung
you to sleep; your footprints are fading
from the hills; your voice Is silent in
the valleys, and, grieving for you, I
have robed you not in ghostly shrouds,
but raiment of scarlet and gold, and
laid you down to dream beneath thy
perfect skies of life to come, of love
that lives forever!"— Atlanta Constitu
tion.
How Muaic Writing; I'uyn,
John Philip Sousa says: "A publisher
who died a short time ago gave me $33
for every piece 1 wrote. Among those
$35 pieces was 'The Washington Post,'
which I wrote in 18S8 for uiy deceased
friend, Frank Hatton, who was editor
of the Washington Post. 1 don't know
what my publisher made out of this
composition. 1 changed 'houses' be
cause a firm offered me 15 per cent ou
net sales, and out of the march 'Liberty
Bell' 1 have received about $45,000. I
advise every one to write music If he
can sell It"
Odd ClnMNlttcatlon.
It is said that a consignment of
"Wheeling stogies," which is the name
of a brand of cigars, recently shipped
to England was classified by tlie cus
tom house officials as "leather manu
factures" on the assumption that they
were boots for bicycling.
This is equal to the action of the
Dutch patent office which classified au
American machine for making ginger
snaps under "disfiiling and brewing"
yi the assumption that "glugersnaps"
|as some sort of "schnapps" to Uriuk.
TOYS FROM TIN CANS.
How it ii ItifxenloiiH French mnn Got
Hich Out of Sardine Tin*.
Near the close of a long aud fierce
war between France ami several other
nations of Europe, when the ITussians
were trying to get entrance to Paris,
the French soldiers were in the city,
and that tlicy might have enough to eat
and drink the persons who owned
shops and bakeries were forced to give
them wine and bread. Many of the
shopkeepers soon found their stores
empty, and various ways were invent
ed to keep their children from starv
ing.
At this time a wine seller named
Drog was in sad distress. His wine
shop was ruined and empty, and he
knew not how he could secure bread
for his family. In the yard at the back
of ids shop was a large heap of empty
sardine cans, which had been thrown
out in the happier days. lie bad learn
ed that solder, with which the cans
had been sealed, was In great demand,
and one day as lie ennie across the old
cans the thought entered his mind that
the solder might be sold; so, building
a little furnace, the solder was melted
off the cans, and for this he secured a
neat sum of money, with which he
bought food for the family.
Not stopping at this, Mr. Drog hired
a number of ragpickers to go around
the city and gather lip all the sardine
cans they could find. While experi
menting another Idea came to him that
the tin of the cans could also be used
in making toys for children. Tin sol
diers and other pretty playthings wore
made and sold. In after years Mr.
Drog built factories In other parts of
France. Millions of children's toys are
now sent out from these shops each
year, and Mr. Drog has made a large
fortune from the old sardine cans.
Tiny Toy Automobile.
The little son of Mr. George Billan of
Middletown, Ind., Is happy in the pos
session of what is perhaps the smallest
automobile iu the world. It was made
by Mr. Billan, who is a jeweler, ami it
is only ten inches long and eight inches
in height, weighing only two pounds

and two ounces. It has rubber tires,
j is ball bearing and is furnished with a
| side steering lever, which is controlled
j by a little figure in the scat. It runs
I hi a circle or a straight line over 2(H)
feet at one winding of the spring mo
tor and has a perfect starting and stop
ping lever, just like the big machines.
The Princes* Villa.
The little Princess Victoria Louise,
who is eight years old. Is the only girl
! in the Imperial family of Germany.
Iler father, the emperor, has bought a
I beautiful villa for her older brothers
to live in while they are studying at
I the university in the quaint old city of
I Bonn, on the Rhine. The house stands
j on the bank of the river and has large
I grounds around it. There are conscrv
! atorles in the gardens and a fine ten-
I ids court, which can be Hooded in win
ter and turned into a skating pond.
The crown prince Is fond of riding and
driving, and tlie stables are well filled
with horses. Tlie prince's suit of rooms
are on the ground floor, while his youn
ger brother. Prince Kitol Frederick,
has his apartments up stairs. Every-
I tiling lias been done to make tlie house
a pleasant home for these two princes
through their college days.
llird* Tlint Walk.
Does it not seem strange that, al
though we cannot fly like the birds, no
matter how much we try, some birds
can walk like human beings?
Watch your pigeons or a quail, lark,
blackbird or snipe walk or run proudly
| and quickly along the ground. Don't
you suppose they think us very stupid
i not to be able to do both? And how
! sorry they must be for their cousins,
the woodpecker, thrushes, sparrows
I and warblers, who can only hop!
Of all the awkward walkers among
l birds the graceful swallow Is the
| worst. Perhaps he realizes it himself,
I for he very seldom uses his feet at all.
The Hill of tlie Cellar Door.
I know a hill not far away
W here children always love to play;
The hill is straight and smooth and low;
For little folks 'Lis better so.
Tin- roasting there is very nice,
Without the cold of snow and ice;
You slide in summer, fall or spring.
But need nut bother sleds to bring.
It is the safest hill I've found;
Sometimes you tumble to the ground.
But 'tis not far you huvc to fall
And would not hurt u child at aIL
It's very near your home, and so
Your inother'U always let you go,
For then she knows you're right near by.
And she can hear you if you cry> 1
So up you scramble, down you slide, '}
And, oh, you have a Jolly ridel n
You always want to play aome more , -4

WINDMILLS IN THE WEST.
Important Part They Play on the
Great PnrniM of the Plain*.
"A thing that strikes an eastern man
strangely," said the man Just back
from a western trip, "Is the prevalence
of the windmill in the west. This is
supposed to be the age of steam and
electricity, of new ideas in every line
of human activity, but you would be
inclined ,to change your mind if you
ever saw the forests of primitive wind
mills that dot the western plains. They
first come into view when the traveler
crosses the Mississippi into lowa, and
by the time be gets to Nebraska and
Kansas they seem to be staring In the
car windows at every revolution of the
wheels.
"And they are the most useful ad
junct the western farmer possesses.
Usually a man associates the windmill
with Holland, but the western variety
Is a different brand and used for ex
actly the opposite purpose that Hol
landers employ them for. In that coun
try the mill Is used to get rid of the
water. In the west It is employed
to produce it. The enterprising manu
facturers make them in all styles,
some tall and graceful, others low,
with a half circle of fans at the top.
The big ones are useful in grinding
corn, but most of tliem are engaged
In pumping up water for irrigation
and to slake tlie thirst of the cattle,
horses and hogs. For the latter a sys
tem of pipes conveys the water to
various parts of the ranch.
"The wells reach way down Into the
earth, where an exhaustless supply is
found, and, while few furnish tlie
source of any extended irrigation sys
tems, nearly all have connections with
the garden and yard. The small
streums which abound in the west gen
erally become stagnant during the sum
mer; but, with the sand point and the
wind puinp, the great reservoir of na
ture is tapped, and great streams of
water are furnished. Many ranchmen
have built inilkhouses around the wind
pump, and the fresh, cool water is kept
running through large tanks made for
milk cans, enabling them to furnish
their own tables witli choice cream and
butter and an overplus that In many
?ases pays for the family groceries.
"Only a western farmer can appre
?iate the value of a windmill as a fac
tor in the development of the country.
It means an abundance of water for
stock and Irrigating purposes, and this
means greater productiveness, bigger
crops and better prices, more business
in the towns and increased earnings
for the railroads. The windmill Is a
primitive method of obtaining power,
but it is doing a splendid work in the
west."—New York Sun.
How CLL ten Bury Tliemnolve*.
A well lias recently been driven in
the Place de I'Hotel do Ville in Paris
for the purpose of ascertaining the na
ture of the subsoil of the French cap
ital. The revelations throw light on the
manner in which great cities in the
course of centuries bury the relics of
their past. First conies a layer of
rubbish, nearly four and a half feet
thick, dating from the sixteenth cen
tury to the nineteenth. A second lay
er, a little over two and a half feet
thick, consists of rubbish recognizable
by the character of its fragments as
belonging to the period from the four
teenth to the sixteenth century. This
is separated from the first layer by a
thin deposit of sand, and a second
sandy deposit covers the third layer,
which plainly shows relics of the elev
enth and twelfth centuries. At the bot
tom is a clayey deposit tilled with frag
ments of pottery and bits of oak tim
ber belonging to the Gallic and Gallo-
Kouiau periods.

John G. Snxe'n Wit.
John G. Snxe, the poet wit, attended
a Hag raising at Greenbush, a little
| place across the river from Albany,
(luring the civil war and made an elo
quent speech In which he praised the
young men of Greenbush for showing
; their patriotism by exerting themselves
to procure the star spangled banner.
Tills did not altogether please the
chairman, who whispered to him that
the young ladies of Greenbush had
j also been Instrumental in raising funds
for the purchase of tlie flag.
Thereupon Saxe, addressing the
young ladies, made them a graceful
and gallant apology for not including
them in his praise. "I don't know how
I came to make such a mistake," he
explained, "save as I may have been
laboring under the impression that the
young men of Greenbush embraced the
young ladies of Greenbush."
Wonderful IlrltiMli Dog*.
A delightful story is told of a sports
man who was boasting of the intelli
gence of his dog. "Would you believe
It," he said, "when I was walking in
to the city he suddenly stopped and
pointed at a man by a bookstall, and
nothing I could do would induce the
dog to move. So I went up to the man
and said, 'Would you oblige me with
your name?' 'Certainly,' said the stran
ger. 'My name is Partridge/"
Another dog's "tail:" A suburban
gentleman who was In the habit of
giving ids dog some small delicacy on
leaving for the city each morning for
got to do so 011 one occasion. As he
was going out of ids house the dog
caught his master's coattails in his
teeth and, leading Idm into the garden,
stopped at a flower bed. The flowers
growing there were forgetiuenots.—
