114 feet long ; it took the centers ol
the hides of 225 steers to make It , anci
each piece of this leather was separate

The recent Glidden automobile toui
from Cleveland to Xew York by waj
"of Chicago was planned primarily tx
test the qualities of various makes 01
machines so far as touring purpose ;
are concerned. In general the result ;
were satisfactory , few changes in con
struction being deemed necessary. Som <
improvements were suggested j v th <
experiences of the drivers dirring th <
1,000 mile Journey. But , on the whole
it was shown that" there need be no es
sentlal. changes in construction of Amer
icau automobiles to make them entirety
satisfactory for touring purposes.
There was another conviction forcec
upon the participants. The averag <
American country road is poorly con
structed. For long stretches the goinj
was so wretched that all the pleasun
connected with the trip was soon gone
An English enthusiast who was in on (
of the cars , and who has covered manj
miles touring here and there , deelarec
that from Cleveland to Chicago , anc
then back to Columbus , there was hard
ly any good road found , except foi
short distances in Indiana. Where
there was a good roadbed the joy Ir
riding upon It was modified by the unhappiness -
happiness of the experiences before and
.after.
A notable difference in the method
of construction of western roads was
observed by those who are familial
with the highways in the neighbor
hood of New York. The usual custom
in the western country in making roads
is to scrape the available material into
the center of the right of way , the path
for the horse being higher than the
track for the wheels. In many places
It is difficult to pass without a. risk ol
overturning. In the case of the auto
mobile there is the ever present dan
ger of slipping into the ditch.
Another kind of road provides for
no drainage at all , the track being low
er than the adjoining fields. In dry
weather such a level road may have
advantages. But when a severe rain
was experienced the motor tourists
found It necessary to make their way
through water.
The general testimony was against
the average highway , and the increas
ing company of tourists by automobile
are planning to add their Influence to
that of other advocates of good roads
In trying to Improve conditions. The
knowledge that the country roads in
America are poor of course is nothing
new. People have been considering the
problem for years. The roads are far
better now than they were a few years
ago. There has been steady Improve
ment. But there is a long way yet to
be traversed before conditions are any
where near Ideal. Chicago Tribune.
THE WORLD'S LITTLE MEN.
Unusual to Find Remarkable
Prodigies Among : Them.
Don't be ashamed of being small of
stature. The finest of brains are often
found in the heads of little men. Alex
ander , Napoleon , Uladislaug jCubltalis ,
the pygmy King of Poland ; Characus
( the wisest counselor that was about
Saladin , the great conqueror of the
East ) ; Marius Maximus , Marcus Tul-
Hus , and , to drop down to this day and
generation , Alexander H. Stephens , Ste
phen A. Douglas , Jay Gould , Samuel
Spencer , Senator Knox , Abe Gruber ,
Phil Sheridan and a host of others
all were small men ; yet , as they say in
the Bowery , they got there.
Alypius of Alexandria , a most excel
lent logician and philosopher , was only
1 foot and 5 inches in height. Aaigus-
tus Caesar exhibited In his plays one
Lucius , who was only twenty-three
inches high and weighed seventeen
p.ounds ; yet he had a strong tenor voice
and could sing like a. nightingale. In
the time of Theodosius there was a
pygmy In Egypt so small of body that
he resembled a partridge ; yet he exer
cised all the functions of a man and
could sing merrily. He lived to be 22.
Julia , niece of Emperor Augustus , had
a dwarfish fellow of the name of Cano-
pas , to whom she was much devoted.
He was twenty-eight inches high. An
dromeda , a freed maid of Julia , was of
the same -height
Just about a hundred years ago , in
Wurtemberg , at the nuptials of the
Duke of Bavaria , a great pie was set
upon the table. On being opened , out
stepped a dwarf , armed cap-a-pie , girt
with a sword and having a spear in his
hand. He walked around the table in
a swash-buckler style , sword drawn ,
and caused the greatest amusement and
Interest.
There was a little fellow In Italy who
was carried around in a parrot's cage
and exhibited for money. He was only
thirteen Inches high. A Frenchman of ,
Llmosin , with a formal beard , was also
shown In a cage for money. He was
about fifteen inches high. At the end
of the cage was a little hutch into
which he retired. When the house was
full -he stepped forth and played a tune
on an tnstrument.
Going away back without sitting
down : Jeffrey Hudson was the wonder
of his age. His father was a butcher ,
stout and. of good height , asd his moth
er was a large woman. At the age of
8 he was sixteen inches in height. The
Duchess of Buckingham adopted him.
She clothed him always in satin. At
a royal feast he was served In a cold
pie , walking forth in complete armor.

Maria , He afforded her mnch amuse

upon a delicate mission to France as
ambassador. On his way home he waa
captured by a Flemish pirate. His cap

COSMETICS OF OLDEN TIMES.
Artificial AitlH in Preserving tbt
Complexion Ronses and Dyes.
The beauties of the past evidently did
not 'believe that the best cosmetics lie
in "the merry heart thai inaketh a
cheerful countenance , " for they depend
ed very largely upon artificial aid in
the preservation of the complexion.
The Empress Poppeta kept 100 asses
to supply her bath of milk , says the
Spatula , and always retired with her
mask or poultice of bread and milk
' upon her at night. Over this a bladder
was drawn to exclude the air. The eye
brows of the Roman beauty were tip
ped with black to resemble the "ox-
eyed Juno ; " they were decorated with
paints and sprinkled with perfumes and
wore a quantity offalse hair or dyed
of their own according to the prevalent
style of the time.
The Greek lady had a retinue of re
tiring maids , who rubbed out the wrin
kles and shaded the face with red and
white paints , tinted her eyelids and an
ointed the face with white of egg and
goose grease to protect it against the
air and sun. They also had a recipe
to turn blue eyes into black.
All through the history of famous
women we find ideas of the bath as an
Improver of the complexion. Isabella
of Bavaria had enormous decoctions of
chicweed poured into hers ; Queen Eliz
abeth bathed in wine ; Mary Queen of
Scots in milk ; Italian ladies in warm
blood ; Mme. Tallien in crushed straw-
bgcries and raspberries poured Into
water ; the empress Josephine in milk
perfumed with violets , and the beau
ties of the eighteenth century used such
infusions as bouillon in which veal had
been cooked , rosewater and honey , and
juice of barley mixed with the yolk of
an egg.
In the time of Catherine de Medici
and her famous daughter , Marguerite
of Valois , the face was covered at night
with a fine linen cloth dipped in milk ,
into which slices of lemon and orange ,
with sugar and alum , had been laid , or
into a distillation of snails and lemons ;
but the beauties of the court of Charles
II. of England went further and ap
plied crude quicksilver to t'heir skin
so that a new one might come in its
place.
The Duchess of Newcastle especially
recommended this. Nearly all these
fashions were derived from Italy ,
where most extravagant toilet arts )
were practiced. Nothing frightened the
beauty. Lucretia Borgia is supposed to
have been a brunette , but she dyed her
hair any color she pleased. When she
went to Ferrara she made her escort
halt for days while she applied her
cosmetics , and she dyed her hair five
times during the journey.
In the eighteenth century Lady Co
ventry died from the effects of rouge ,
as did many other women less famous
for their beauty.
Her Hint.
"Has she ever shown any sign as to
whether she cares for you or not ? "
"She's making It now , I think. "
Beware of Red Hair.
At Fairmount park yesterday a red-
haired girl who stood alone watching
the bathers attracted the notice of a
rather stout youth who seemed to con
sider himself the official "jollier. " After
watching 'her ' a few moments he approached
preached her.
"I ibeg pardon , " he began , "but are
you the lighthouse ? "
The red-haired girl turned and calm
ly surveyed the over plump young man.
"No , " she replied. "Are you the
roundhouse ? "
Then the red-haired girl passed on ,
but the plump man stood there .with
his mouth open until a s'mall 'but ' ob
servant boy , who had been near by ,
shouted : "Stung. " Kansas City Times.

Futile.
After many years of experimentins the
people of the earth had succeeded in es
tablishing communication with Mars.
But the signals received were utterly
unintelligible.
Many years more were spent in vain
in trying to decipher them.
They did not bear the slightest resem
blance to any language known on this
earth.
Efforts tnen were made to communicate
with some planet whose learned men could
interpret the signals.
The only .responses received appeared to
be couched in even worse gibberish than
the written dialects Of Mars.
Finding it Impossible to secure the ser
vices of any planet as an interpreter ,
the effort was abandoned.
"Go to Jupiter ! " recklessly signaled the
earth and tore down its signal stations.
