NO JOB FOR PERFUMED MAN, Chicago Employers say That They Don't Want Him Around. Men in business have formed such an antipathy to tho nian who uses perfumery or -has the barber put any thing on his hair that 'has any fra grance in it that many men who don't knOW this are unable to coinlect with good jobs which inight be thevil's .if they did know It. Mven the women have becone af. foeted. 1In mllore thaIn one hicago business -house the stenographers have been askjed to forego dousing a lot of scent upon their haindkerlchies or blouses. A slight trace is not dis agreeable, but. in sonle cases even the smallest vestige is objected to. This applies to t,he women. To the men the slightest shadow of it is fatal. It was only the other day the man ager of a house in which many men are employed was exanting an appli cant for a position. 1he applicant was neatly dressed, had a pleasing al though a slightly bold appearance and talked correctly and intelligently, al though a trille egotistically. Suddenly the manager, who had ieemed to be weighing in his mind the merits and demerits of the appli cant, said: "sorry, but we can't use you." "Can you tell me why'."' asked the applicant; "perhaps If I were given an opportunity--" Tho imnallger cut hifim short. "That's just the trurble,"l he said. "You were given an opportuity and you rejected it." "hut I've been given no opportun ity," said the inan, 1101 knowing what "Yes, you were," answered the man aLger, "you've been given an oppor tunity to 'over yourself with cheap gierfuimery and of that chance you most -generously .have availed your oolf. We can't use walking perfume bottles." Others managers took the same view. They sat-l that the day of the scented business man had gone by. They also said that their experience taught them that the man who used perfumery was liliely to spend in thir.Adii about himself time that he ought to give to ihis work.-Chi,caro 'Tribine. Winter Work for Automobile. h'lire is a farmer out. in Walworth County who lilt upon a novel way of making the money he has tied up in an automobile. He uses the machine in the sumnier. but when winter sets in there is littlo 'pleasure or profit in auton'biling and most of the gaso leno buggles are left standing idle. In the case of this thrifty settler, how ever, there is no waste of this kind. He strips the machine of its wheels and sets it upon skids in the loft of ce of the farm buildings. With a flywheel on one of the rear hubs and a drive wheel on the other he uses his engine to do all the farm grinding, pumping, feed cutting and other work where power is required. In this way he saves the cost of another gasoleno engine, such as most5 farmers are now using.-Milwaukee Sentinel. Noiseless Steam Engine Exhaust. The gas engine is not the only of fender in the matter of noisy exhaust. Uufiling tank-s to minimize the noise of the ecape of exhaust steam from high-pressure non-condensing steam engines are sometimes needed. in such cases it suffices to insert near' the engine a tank of 15 or 20 timies the volume .of the cylinder and con tinue the exhaust -pIpe from this muf Mor. This will (10 away with the dis turbanco caused by high-pressure ex haust steam passing through a tor tiious exhaust pi'pe. F3OOLED) THE PREACHlER. A Doctor's Brother' Thought Postumi ja Was Coffee. A wise doctor found out coffee was hurting him so he0 quit drinking it. He was so busy with his practice, however, that his wife had to write how lie fooled his brother, a clergy muan, one (lay at dinner. She says: "Doctor found coffee was injuring him and decided to give Postum a trial, and we have used it now tot' four years with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long train of ills that follow coffee drink lng. "To show how successful we are in making Postum properly, I will relate an incident. At a dinner we gave, doctor suggested that we serve Pos turn instead of ord(inary coffee. "Doctor's brother', a clergyman, *upposed it was old fashioned coffee anid remarked, as lhe called for his second cup, 'If yoit do preach against coffee I see you haven't forgotten how to make it.'" This goes to show that wveli-made --fully boiled--Postum has much thle flavor and r-ichness of good eQffee al 'though it has an individuality all its own. A ten days' trial wvill prove that It has none of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee but wvill correct the troubles caused by coffee. "There's a' reason." Name furnished by Pos Lnm Co.- Ltd..

It is situated 20 miles northwest of Shimoga Station. on the Sothern Mahratta Railway, 340 Miles fr,om11 Mormnugoa. Some years ago an Instrument was invented by one of the Government's scientists that is Intended to measure the force of an oceaa wave. It was first testeld at the extreme eastern end of Long Island, where the waves sweep in unhindered from the Atlantic. In smitniner a force of over 600 pounds to the slitare Inch has been recorded. In winter as high as a ton to the square foot. has been attained. This gives one sone idea with what ships, lighthouses and other similar structures have to coitenld. The density of the earth as a whole has been estimated, with close agree mient among the several scientists who have made the determination, by different methods, to be about 5.5 or 5 1-2 times as heavy as an equivalent sPhere of water. On the other hand, the average density of the materials forming the accessible portions of the earth's crust is between 2.5 and 3.0, so that the mean density of the whole globe is about twice that of Its outer part. This indicates that the central part of the earth Is composed of heavier materials, and may even be metallic, which condition would ac cord perfectly with the nebular by Pothesis. % One of Uncle Sam's naturalists at Washington asserts that tortoise-shell, which is made from ihe horny skin overlying the bony case of most spe cles of turtles, possesses the property of welding so perfectly that no trace of junction is visible. Two plates to be united have their adjacent edges beveled ill opposilo directions, and are thea squeezed together in a metal press udler tihe action of boiling wa ter. Imitation tortoise-shell Is made by painting horn with paste of lime lithartge anl soda, which is rubbed off after drying. This process leaves dark spots of lead sulphide in the horn, resembling the mottling of real tortoise-shell. . Trackless Trolleys in Europe. In districts Where the construction of permanent tramways would be out of the question owing to prohibitive initial cost. there are in use in Ger many and France electric transport systems running on the ordinary roads.
