Hats in Elevators. Men In New York are not called “cads,” “bad-mannerea“ nor “horrid [ things,’ If they do not remove their hats when riding in elevator cars with women. * The question of removing the hat has been settled there for good. In office buildings stores and other public places men do not re move their hats as a rule. Once in awhile a man does, but he has all the earmarks of being from some other city than the metropolis. In elevator cars or hotels, if a man removes his hat when women are present he doesn t do it because it is the custom. omen of New York do not expect men to remove their hats because of their presence any more than it would be expected of them In street cars.

A soft answer Is never useful for CBgSJDf _ and Invention. Emergency Street-Car Brake. On nearly every railway the passen ger cars are provided with an emer gency brake which can be operated by any of the passengers or trainmen the instant an accident occurs, often serving to bring the train to a stand still before the engineer is awTare that there has been an accident. Thus, in case an axle breaks on a rear car, the train can be brought to a stop by any one in the car long before the engineer could be notified and have time to reverse the engine and apply the brakes. It is now proposed to ap ply practically the same idea to the street car, though in this case the motorman, being the one most likely to discover an emergency requiring prompt action, is given control of the brake. This mechanism may consist of a pneumatic pressure system or an electro-magnetic arrangement, as de sired, but to actuate it the inventor utilizes an electro circuit The switch by which the circuit is closed and the mechanism put in opeiation is located directly beneath the motor man's arm. being attached to his body by shoulder and waist straps. The instant he sees the necessity of stop ping the car to avoid a collision or running over some one he has only to drop his arm and close the circuit, when the automatic brake is applied, bringing the car to a standstill before he could have made the first move Actuated by Movement of Arm. toward stoping it in the ordinary man ner. Andrew J. Brislin of Brooklyn, N. Y., is the designer of this brake. Cheap and Safe Lights. In Great Britain an invention which, it is claimed, gives absolute safety to oil lamps is being applied to practical uses. The device consists of a circular metal box, the size vary ing according to the candle power re quired. in the box is a deposit of salt, over which is a layer of cotton waste special}- prepared. Running through the cotton pack ing is an asbestos wick, woven by hand, and which is practically indes tructible, and requires only occasional attention. By immersing the box in petroleum or* paraffin the cotton waste absorbs the requisite quantity of oil in a few minutes through small lateral interstices. That accomplish ed and the metal being dried exter nally, the application of a light to the asbestos wick produces a bright, steady white light, the candle power being in proportion to the size of the box, the consumption of oil being less and, accordingly, the cost being correspondingly cheaper than if the light were oltained from an ordinary lamp. Moreover, it is claimed absolute safety is assured. The asbestine lamp may be inverted, may exhaust itself, may be thrown down or whirled about, but there is no danger, it is averred, as there is no free oil or oil gas that can be ignited, and conse quently there can be no fire or explo sion. The patent is said to be appli cable to every species of lamp from the modest night light necessary in the nursery through the entire gamut of domestic illumination, to the draw ing-room lamp. In the industrial world it could be utilized id every direction, especially when a bright, steady light is essential, such as engine headlights and lights on ships. The Great Northern and several Scottish and Irish railways are engag ed in testing the capabilities of the new process with a view to its adop tion in railway work. Every descrip tion of lamp—the bicycle lamp, the motor lamp, the carriage lamp, lamps for domestic purposes, lamps in mines—can, it is declared, be fitted with the asbestine patent, and oil of any flash point can be used with per fect safety and with the additional advantage of considering economy. The problem of the safety lamp would appear to have been solved. Sewing Machine to Cure Insomnia. The electric sewing machine is de scribed as good remedy for insomnia. A Philadelphia physician has been prescribing it successfully for several months. Electrical sewing machines are or dinary ones, with a small motor at tachment. An electric light current runs them—they are attached to the light as electric fans are—and in op eration they give forth a singularly smooth sound. This sound is what makes them good for insomnia. The victim of in somnia has nerves that are. as it wrere, inflamed. He needs something that will lull and soothe him. Certain sounds will do this—the sound of rain on a roof, for instance, or the sound of a running brook. But brooks and rain are not always at hand, and hence in their stead the electrical sew ing machine is prescribed. Automobiles on Railroads. The automobile has been adapted to railroad tracks by the use of steel flanges which are fitted on the wheels outside the rubber tires. Light ma chines have been introduced on vari ous railroad lines for the use of track inspectors. Owing to the absence of obstructions on the railroad tracks and the smoothness of the rails a much higher speed can be attained than could be got out of the same ma chine on a road.

The mixing of paints is a somewhat troublesome process, and as the ready mixed paints can now be purchased sc cheap, they are used almost exclusive ly, especially by amateurs. If. how ever, you want to mix your own paint, you might try the following recipe, which is highly recommended: Soak two ounces of good glue for twelve hours in cold water, and then melt it in thick milk of lime( prepared from 1 one pound of caustic lime) heated tc i boiling point. To the boiling glut stir in linseed oil until it ceases tc mix. About fluid ounces of oil u sufficient for the above proportions. Too much oil is corrected by the ad dftion of lime paste. Mix this with any color not affected by lime, and dilute with water if needed. For vel low-brown or brown-red colors, boil in the ground color a quarter of its vol | ume of shellac and borax, making an excellent paint for wooden floors This mixture is easilj' applied, covers well, and is a great deal cheaper than the ordinary paint. Cutworms. E. C. W.—How can I make a kero sene emulsion to destroy grubs whict cut down cabbage plants? The simplest way to make the kero sene emulsion is to boil up one quar ter of a pound of hard soap in twe qlarts of rain water. When all the soap is dissolved remove from the Art and while boiling hot turn in one gal Ion of kerosene or coal oil and chum vigorously with a syringe or spraj pump for five minutes. This gives the 6tock emulsion which must be dilut ed with nine times its quantity 01 water before using. I do not think however, that this would be a prac tical remedy for cutworms on cab bages. I think you will have far bet ter success by using the poisoned bran remedy, or by wrapping a piece oi paper around the stem of each planl at time of setting out.—J. F. Moles. L. E. A.—I have a sod dam which if being honeycombed by moles. The pond usually dries up in summer What remedy can you suggest? I know of no remedy' other than killing the moles, this could be done either by catching them in the ordi nary mole trap, or by suffocating them with bisulphide of carbon. The best way to do this is to put aboul an ounce of bisulphide of carbon on a piece of rag, roll this in a bundle and push it as far as possible down the hole with a stick, and close up all entrances. Bisulphide of carbon vaporizes and the poisonous vapor runs along the tunnels and kills all of the animals it overtakes. Care must be taken to keep lights of all kinds at a distance from this inflam mable substance. Wild Oats. D. R.—How can I get rid of wild oats? The wild oat is an annual plant like the cultivated oat and differs from the latter by its lighter and almost worth less seed, its iregularity in ripening and its persistence in the ground when once ihtroduced. The best way to get rid of this weed is to plow and harrow the land well in spring, or at any rate give the land a stroke with the harrow in spring, and then sow with early barley or oats and as soon as the wild oats, which are early in maturing, begin to head, cut the whole for green feed. There may be two cuttings taken of this fodder and the stubble may then be plowed down. The next year the land should be put in to a hoed crop. It will then be ready for grain again.—J. 3*. Building a Stone Foundation. E. F. Man—Please tell me how to build a stone foundation under a house that has rather light timbers The frame work of your house be ing of light material it would be well to leave the house where it stands, and build the stone wall under it This can easily be done by building the wall up to the sills between the supports, then take the supports out and fill in the space with stone. In order to have the supports out of the line of wall, have a beam diagonally across each corner of the building resting on blocks on the outside. By having one at eaoh corner it will brace the building. Along the sides and ends run a beam under the gill, rest ing it on a block on the outside and a post on the inside. Until a year or two ago the em peror of Japan was an enthusiastic wrestler. He threw out challenge af ter challetge to the members ot the court and U counsel and advisers and defeated fii.'ly and completely every one* who tried conclusions with him until he met Count Tetsu, who proved one too many for him. Since that encounter, although he encourages the sport in every possible way, he has kept out ot tae arena. “Count Tetsu is now champion,” he would say; 1 have failed to throw him. Some one eise must try." Prof. William James ot Harvard Is very popular with the more intelligent and studious of the undergraduates. When these youn< men, however, make rash, or bold, or unbecoming as sertions he does not hesitate to take them down. Not long ago a sopho more aired some rather atheistical views before Prof. James. “You.” the latter said, “are a free thinker, I per ceive. Y’ou believe in nothing.” “I only believe—haw—what I can under stand,” the sophomore replied. “It comes to the same thing, I suppose,” said Prof. James. A Paying Washington Industry Cascara bark peeling has become an active industry in the forests of western Washington. The bark is taken from tl* barberry and chittim wood trees that grow profusely in the Grays harbor district. It has a com mercial value of 8 cents per pound. An ordinary tree yields from 50 to 100 pounds of the dried bark. Whole families are engaged In collecting the bark and selling to dealers. Some men make $5 a day at the work. En tire sections are contracted by eastern buyers and peelers engaged to supply the bark. There is talk of petitioning the legislature tc en-.ct laws for pre serving the trees, which are more val uable than any timber grown Ifl the native forest. The bark is used for medicinal purposes. It is estimated that one pound of dry bark will make enough liquid extract to sell for $2 at wholesale. Clear white clothes are a sign that the housekeeper uses Red Cross Ball Blue.

The total receipts, thereform from 1S83 to 1898, when the structure passed into the posses- j sion of the railroad companies, were $17,272,890, and the expenditures for j the same period were $18,151,301. The 1 railroad earnings from 1883 to 1898. were $13,734,818, and the earnings from the roadway in the same period $1,205,400. The Brooklyn bridge cost 1 iL the neighborhood of $16,000,000.1 j he cost of the structure itself was $11,500,000, while the cost of acquir ing real estate, etc., for the terminals was about $4,500,000. The cost of the Williamsburg bridge, the second of the East River bridges, will be in the neighborhood of $20,000,000. The cost of the Williamsburg structure will be loss than that of the Brooklyn bridge structure, but the expense of acquir ing real estate for terminals and ap proaches was greater. First Daugerreotype in America. It Is perhaps not generally known that the earliest practical information as to Daguerre's process of catching and holding the figure of his camera obscure came to America through Prof. S. F. B. Morse. In a letter to a friend in America, to be quoted in Abraham ogardus’ “The Lost Art of Daugerreotype’’ in the May Century, Prof. Morse tells of constructng the first daguerreotype apparatus made In the United States from drawings furnished by Daguerre. “My first ef fort.” Prof. Morse writes, “was on a small plate of silvered copper pro cured at a hardware store, and, de fective as the plate was, I obtained a good representation of the Church of the Messiah, then on Broadway, from h. back window of the New York City university This ,1 believe to have been the first daguerreotype made in America.” If a woman can’t keep a secret she can always find some other woman to help. TWO STEPS The Last One Helps the First. A sick coffee drinker must take two steps to be rid of his troubles and get strong and well again. The first step is to cut off coffeo ab solutely. That removes the destroying ele ment. The next step is to take liquid food (and that is Postoa Food Cof fee) that has in it the elements na ture requires to change the blood corpuscles from pale pink or white to rich red, and good red bleed builds good strong and healthy cells in place of the broken down cells destroyed by coffee. With well boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift to, both these steps are easy and pleasant. The experi ence ef a Georgian proves how im portant both are. “Fr6m 1872 to the year 1900 my wife and I had both been afflicted with sick or nervous headache and at times we suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and did not know how to get away from it for the habit is hard to quit. “But in 19C0 1 read of a case simi lar to ours where Postum Coffee was used in place of the old coffee and a complete cure resulted, so I concluded to gpt some and try it. “The result was, after three days* use of Postum in place of the coffee I never bad a symptom of the old trouble and in five months I had gained from 145 pounds to 163 pounds. “My friends asked me almost daily what wrought the change. My an swer always is, leaving off coffee and drinking Postum in its place. “We have many friends who have been benefited by Postum. “As to whether or not I have stated the facts truthfully I refer you to the Bank ef Carrollton or any busi iiess firm la that city where I have lived for many years and am weH known."

The Oroyo railroad, which now runs from Callao to the gold fields of Cerro de Pasco, is cmsidered one of the wonders in the .Peruvian world. It is certainly the greatest feat of railroad engineering in either hemisphere. Commencing in Callao, it ascends the narrow valley of the Rimac, rising nearly 5,000 feet in the first 5G miles. Thence it goes through the intricate gorges of the Sierras till it tunnels the Andes at an altitude of 16.645 feet, the highest point in the world where a piston rod is moved by steam. He Was a Good Risk. The Marquis of Donegal, who died the other day, was some years ago made the subject of an insurance gam ble. In 1890 some one took out a pol icy against the marquis, who was then in his seventieth year, and as he had no children, this looked a good thing for the insurance company, but in his eighty-fifth year the marquis married again and left a son, who is six months old. The lucky individual who took the policy has thus, by the payment of a single premium of $665, received $12,500. . I_ Hint for the Sick Room.
