"Law's Bubble" is a term sometimes applied to the "Mississippi Scheme," a wild speculative enterprise planned by John Law (1671- ! 1729), the famous financier, for the purpose of liquidating the French debt. This scheme, although successful at the start, collapsed totally in 1720, and spread financial disaster throughout the land. Law was com- j pelled to leave France, and died in poverty in Venice some years later, i Not Yet. ' j Smith has just become the owner j of an automobile?or to be more cor rect to say that an automobile has just become Smith's o^vner.

For the purpose of diversity and variety he j has purchased a road map, so that he can honk-honk without bothering any* one with questions. The other Sunday, however, Smith found himself at a spot he could not locate on his map, and* he hunted up a native. He stumbled, as it were, j across a tall, thin man wearing over- : alls, a calico shirt, a big pair of shoes and a broad brimmed hat. "Say, friend," said Smith, "do you know the roads hereabouts?" "Yes." "Macadamized?" "Nearly all." "Town near bv?" "Five miles." "Live around here?" "Yes." "Quite a while, I suppose?" "Yes." I Smith hazarded a guess. "All your life?"

A doctor in Kansas experimented with his boy in a test of food, and gives the particulars. He says: "I naturally watch the effect of different foods on patients. My own ' little son, a lad of four, had been 111 with pneumonia, and during his convalescence did not seem to care for any kind of food. "I knew something of Grape-Nuts i ! and its rather fascinating flavour and i particularly of its nourishing and nerve-building powers, so I started , the boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the first dish that he liked it. j "His mother gave it to him steadily, and he began to improve at once, j In less than a mouth he had gained , about eight pounds and soon became i so well and strong we had no further I anxiety about him. "An old patient of mine, 73 years j old, came down with serious stomach I tiouble, and before I was called had ' got so weak he could eat almost notmng, ana was in a serious condi- ; tion. He had tried almost every I kind of food for the sick without avail. "I immediately put him on Grape- 1 Nuts, with good, rich milk and just a little pinch of sugar. ' He exclaimed when I came next day, 'Why, doctor, I never ate anything so good or that made me feel so much stronger.' "I am pleased to say that he got well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to stick to it for two or three weeks, j then he began to branch out a little j , with rice or an egg or two. He got | 1 entirely well in spite of his almost hopeless condition. He gained 22 I pounds in two months, which at hie j age is remarkable.

Most women in trying to make their fingers more tapering will stroke them from the base to the tip. A well known manicure has said that the process should be reversed. Clasp the tip of each finger between the thumb and first finger of opposite hand, and stroke firmly but gently backward from the tip as when working on a glove. ? New York Times. Piazza Shoes. Piazza shoes and walking shoes are to be of two quite di3tinct varieties.

The Folly of Fretting. j "Taking the year together, dear, There isn't more night than day." , We all, especially the mother of the household, worry too much. We see old Mr. (or shall I say Mrs.?) ' Trouble away down the road, and run with outstretched hand to meet him, oftentimes more than half way. ' We worry about the children? Johnny has such a cold; surely it will develop into pneumonia. We're so < afraid that Ethel or Rob will not pass 1 the examinations and be promoted. 1 Mildred's dress isn't more than halffinished; we shall never have it ready < for her to wear to the party. We i worry about the household expenses; < SsSSf about keeping up appearances; about this and that imaginary happening that might not come to pass in a thousand years. For the major part of all the woes which come to us are merely the outgrowth of our own foolish fears. Of course, we could tell the mothers to look at the beautiful golden sunshine, and let the clouds (that might, or might no.t, come bye and bye) alone?to gather the flowers blooming along the pathway instead of wandering out in the jungle for thistles. Maltby Davenport Babcock says: "We should see the glorious dajbreak and be glad?it is so beau1 Tirtf lnrvlr f/irward to the dark and stormy evening." And the Giver of all things has told us that "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." But these commands probably have to do with something else beside everyday worries. At any rate, we do not presume to ask the mothers to stop worrying. That would be adding insult to injury. If they could throw off this stupefying influence they would do so without a preachment from anyone. But we would suggest a remedy?* a "counter-irritant,"' as the M. D.'s say. When you are wearing your blue glasses and can not get them off, go forthwith and do something cheerful. In other words, turn the much exploited treatment around and let the physical being predominate over the mental. For instance, tell a humorous story. No matter if it does go terribly "against tne grain ? do it and keep a stiff upper lip until it is finished. First thing you know, you'll be laughing heartily at your own ludicrous attempt at jollity?a "sure-enough" laugh, and behold you have accomplished your purpose. You have cured, or at least alleviated, I your mental sickness by a physical exertion, pure and simple. Or, if the story of joke theraputics is not practicable, take a walk in the open air; stroll along through the scented woods, and "list to Nature's teach- j you should some day, instead of ?, find yourself the possessor cf a j lot despair. There are wonderful j when converted into a meat pie. I id put it oij to boil, bones and all.

You will look up, and i behold ? the blue glasses have ! changed to a beautiful rose-colored. Or, if the case iS a mighty desperate one, bring those weary, lagging feet to call upon a particularly jolly friend, or go to some place of amusement for a few hours. Any one of these physical "healings," if relig- j iously followed, will bring results, j and all your little woes will "fold up j their tents like .the Arabs and silently j steal away." You know it was old Peter Pindar j who said: "Care to our coffin adds a nail, no doubt; And every grin, so merry, draws one ! out." ?Indiana Farmer. |tY\ Short skirts are the rule for all excepting house, reception and evening dresses. In adopting the sleeveless coat it should be remembered that extreme styles are taboo. All of the new outing hats, as well as the finer straws, show a decided roll at the brim. The scarf which matches the gown is becoming one of the famaliar features for the light wrap. Foulard facing for the smart revers sounds a new note in tailoring and dress combinations. At the resorts it is noticeable that almost all the best dressed people wear hats in the evening. The cuirass has developed into a uip yotte, wnicn is out in ready-towear two and three piece suits. The craze for the Greek filet has { led girls to wearing even long bar- i rettes across the top of their heads. Bibs with quaint designs done in | cross stitch make attractive and use- I ful gifts with the small boy or girl. Rosettes of all kinds are the fashion this season, from the tiny slippef ornament to the larger dress rosette. The untrimmed gown is very smart, but the current of the fashionable dress seems to be moving away from it. Some of the smartest clothes for little girls are of white pique and rep, trimmed with hand embroidered bands. Paris is making a great run on iiigh, voluminous ueck ruchings, which are mostly white or the color of old lace. A number of the wide brimmed hats have loose, floating strings that tie on the shoulder or knot veil below the bust. Satin charmeuse remains the favorite fabric for ball and dinner gowns, and, In fact, for evening gowns of all descriptions. The long coat without revers, without sleeves and with pear-shaped irmholes, has bccome quite a feature of the season. j PHYSICIAN'S WIFE TELLS OF TURKEY ! How Nazim Pasha Managed to Get Out of the Yildiz Kicsk and Save j Constantinople From a Massacre. The wife of a former palace physij cian during the reign of thfo .'.ate Sultan of Turkey, has written a, letter to Mrs. Edward W. S. Johnston, of New York City, who has sent it on the New York Evening Post. Her Turkish friend refers to the letters from Constantinople printed in the Even ing Post: "I felt your thoughtful attention in sending me the papers. I enjoyed .the Teading very much, the ; more so that , nearly all names menj tioned were known to me. Errors ! were made, as for instance the one | letter mentions that among the many j that fled and left the old Sultan all j alone was one Chakir Pasha, his chief aide-de-camp. No! he did not commit suicide, as stated, but went away and hid; thereupon the rumor'got about I of his suicide. Chakir Pasha is a very j old friend of ours, and a very good, I straightforward character, a father of | many children, mostly boys, and all I were aides-de-camp. When the pasha 1 knew all that was to take place, he j could not see a way to clear out, but : when his master called him and told him to get his family all together and get a "yali" at Bechiktash?I suppose you know a "yali" is a villa on the water's edge?the pasha asked permission to go and tell his family of the intended removal, and begged to be allowed to look for a house, and, j getting permission, he went away and I never returned. He hid himself so ; well that until the new Sultan was : hrnrlnimeH nnhndv knew where he 1 was, and this act was his saving, as j being a sure proof of his honesty, oth; erwise he would have been punished. "Nazim Pasha was the clever one? : to ask the Sultan's permission to inspect the Macedonian forces, for which ride he was given a fast horse, from the Sultan's stables. He rode to San Ste'ano, and there gave the news secretly about the impending massacre, begging the troops to come in as quickly as possible, then rode back ; full speed to Yildiz, telling the Sultan not to fear, as his troops surrounding Yildiz were of too great a force and number, and could easily conquer the Insignificant number of those at San Stefano! * * * "But his timely warning to the I troops and embassies saved a'whole population from a terrible death. For days men had been going everywhere in various guises, taking notice cf numbers and names of people and bouses. Ours they did not ask, but marked! so, if we were to have been i victims, we do not yet know! "The great fear is now a reactionary movement; but to avoid this we I are to have martial law until October, and all the useless employes, or those that had found posts in various departments through protection and not I from their own capacity, have to be provided for. For instance, the Sublime Porte will dismiss 195, some of them have been there eighteen years or more, are fathers?elderly men? what can they do for a living? Not knowing how to read or write Turkish, or perhaps more than one language, of what use are they in such a capacity? Therefore new projects and concessions are to be formed, and by such means all will find work according to their rank or intelligence. "There was a young girl about nineteen or twenty, who was ill and asked permission to go away anywhere for a little change. As a rule, when the slaves xonce get out of the the palace walls, they did not come back again. This girl was given a large sum of money and entrusted to our fprmer Governor of Scutari. He pocketed most of her money, sent her away, ana tnen sent wora to tne palace that It were better to keep a strict care, as the girl was ready .to join a revolutionary band. So, on receiving definite orders, he sent her 'so far away!' He secreted her in a house exactly opposite his own, three houses away from us, kept her a strict prisoner, with barely sufficient food to eat, and orders were given to the lady of the house, whom I knew well, not to speak to her, or give her anything, and so, this girl was there in one room?no fire, no food, or air, and rarely, very rarely, did our friend venture to get to see her and give her things secretly. The sending of this girl away, doctors, etc., etc., were well paid for, as the signed papers have been found among the many papers at Yildiz?also cheques for money paid. "Now the girl Is free, has been given a lovely home in compensation, and is, of course, very grateful to her old friend for ,the many secret kindnesses, and has even been several times to see her and brought her handsome presents. The old Governor was well paid for his trouble. He had only received orders to see that the girl was kept from contaminating friends, and was to need nothing." 8. P. G.

Florida Leading in Good Roads. The soil of Florida being mainly of a sandy nature precludes the making of hard roads except by a top surface ( of rock, shell or other similar material. For this reason hard surface roads In Florida are a luxury in most counties except Dade, and here there are more miles of rock road than in any other county in the State of Flor- j Ida. To those unfamiliar with .the subject this is probably a surprising statement, but to all good roads enthusiasts it will appear familiar. i At the present time there are some 200 miles of hard, rock roads in Dade i County, other than the paved streets of cities and towns, and the present Board of County Commissioners have : other roads in course of construction and are anticipating the building of ' fifty miles more of new roads outside of the 200 miles already built, and | tne new roaas 111 cuuise ui wusu u^tion and contemplated. The city of Miami and the city of West Palm Beach are thoroughly ( paved and are an example of city road , building, having practically the best ; paved streets in the South. These roads are constructed of the lime , rock that is quarried at the lower part of Dade County, principally in the neighborhood of the town of Ojus. , This rock has been given the name , of Miami rock, and it is seldom re- , ferred to as Dade County or Florida \ rock. It is white, limelike in sub- , stance and hardens with exposure. . At Atlantic Beach, Mr. H. E. Eemis, i , manager of the Hotel Continental, also of the Royal Poinciana at Palm , Beach, and the Colonial at Nassau, ( made a valuable exDeriment in road , building by first putting down a heavy t layer of cinders, covoring this with a < coating of five to eight inches of j Miami rock, the result being that the > ( rains percolated through the cinders and the exposure to the air cemented t the whole mass into a solid macadam. This method of road building is j now being carried out on the Okee- 1 chobee road extending from West Palm Beach across the marsh lands J to the farming and fruit growing ! , country that is now being developed. About ninety miles of the county roads extend in a north and south direction, a part of the main trunk line of the so-called Appian Way that is expected eventually will connect through from the Homestead country, south of Miami, to Jacksonville; this ninety miles extends from one- 1 half mile south of West Palm Beach. The distance between West Palm ; ' Beach and Miami is about seventy- j j six miles, and south of Miami to one- ! ( half mile below Perrine the distance J t is about eighteen miles, which makea j < up the entire main line, except .the j ' connecting link between Homestead r1 | and Redlinds, of ^bout four miles, j | I Running to this main line there are j , j in the neighborhood of 110 miles of j ] | rock road, these laterals being largely j j ; in the Miami district, while a portion j 1 are in the district lying to the nortn and south of Miami. c , Owing to the rocky nature of the land around Miami, a great many 5 roads have been built by private sub- * scriptions, as the parties in clearing their land were able to put the rock where .the roads were required, and 1 w!th the private _ subscriptions the | [ county roller and other machinery se- j t cured to complete the road. . j J Among the best of these lateral , J roads running out from Miami is the stretch to the Orange Glade section, I five and one-half miles in length. To General Samuel C. Lawrence's grape \ t fruit grove three and one-half miles j of the best rock road in the State is I , built, and is a favorite thoroughfare I for farmers, visitors and home people, j From the golf grounds to Orange j ( Ridge there is another stretdTof five I j miles, and from Lemon City to Or- , t ange Ridge five miles. From Buena j * Vista to Allapattah schoolhouse two j niiles, and from Little River to Hum- ? bugusf four miles. From Fulford J there extends a three-mile road in a J /llranflAn Ati/vhincr m net nf l >TCDlCi U Uii^viivu bwuvutuQ . r v ( the farms and groves. Another west- i ern road at Ojus is of about four I miles in length. At Hallandale a t road through a number of truck j j farms extends in a northern direction j some four miles. t At West Palm Beach .there is un- i der construction the famous Okee chobee road, a little over four miles I i in length at the present time, a road t that opens to settlement some of the ( finest truck and vegetable lands in I Dade County. These are practically s all the laterals in the northern por- * tion of the county, except a few small stretches of road at Stuart, Delray, E Boynton and other towns. While some of the best lands in the , county are in its northern part, owing j to adverse circumstances the northern j 8 part has not been Sutured by the t county commissioners in road build- | ( ing, and it was also practically im- i f possible for private individuals to | o build roads because of the lack of j ^ rock with which to build without pay- i t ing heavy transportation charges ' f from the quarries near Miami, as the ! ^ lands that are being openoC west of j; West Palm Beach, and, in fact, all | J the land in the northern end of the j s county from Stuart to Deerfield are | _ free from surface rock. While this | makes it inexpensive for the settler | in clearing and preparing his land it makes it a little harder for road building. In the southern portion of the county, in that part south of Miami ( i where rock has been available, the | ^ I good roads are of extreme value, as ( ^ they have been Instrumental in the j great development that has taken ^ place in that section; as owing to I ? these good roads the lands in that ff section have been brought into prom- | inence through their accessibility, j _ The farmers and fruit growers in that , section realizing the value of good | , roads and being able to construct ; g them at a minimum cost have practi- j | cj).lly been good road cranks ana nave , rc built roads partially at their own ex- J b pense and partially at the expense of j E the county. They are now seeking to ! i; have the twelve-mile gap between ; % Perrine and Homestead built, after j I) ^inch it is expected that they will be J $ content for several years. j | The average income of American j ^ dnr.torB is $S00 a year. ] " v - ...
