A woman who recently applied to the Lambeth guardians.for relief said that for the last three months she and her five children had lived rent free "by "squatting in the rooms of emptj fcotjtes.'' In Lambeth there are many such houses which have reverted tc the duchy of Cornwall, and the people are permitted to occupy the places un til the premises are demolished. There will shortly be opened In Switzerland die Wieser viaduct, on the ?route from Davos to Filsur. It is en tirely constructed of stone, at a height ?of 90 metres, or 292j/? feet, and has a central arch of 55 metres and six; -others each of 20 metres, the entire length of the bridge being 175 metres. It Is, according to a Paris contempo rary, the most beautiful bridge in the world. The Institute of marine engineers It London recently discussed the subject, and H. A. Mayor, of Glasgow, said that the prospects for electric propulsion tor ships is very hope'ul. Leadi^f shipbuilders have been considering it for some time. W. P. purtnall said Chat in tne all-electric Paragon method j -of driving vessels, the electric motors are coupled direct to the propellers and run at equally high efficiency in ?either direction. Since the setam tur nine can only run in one direction, the new method saves the expense of a te verslble turtilre. A young man Is brlngiug an anion against ii graphologist in Paris foi substantial damages, a pretty heiress, to whom he was engaged to be mar rfed, showed a specimen of his band writing to the graphologist and asked for Information.

The battlefield of Waterloo, writes an American tourist from Brussels, If rapidly being divested of all its inter <asting features. The houses which sheltered mon who helped to make history there are being torn down, the roads and paths are being obliterated, and soon there will be nothing left to remind one of Napoleon's last stand but the great mound capped by the Waterloo lion. The museum, where all the battlefield trophies are on view, uniforms, arms, drawings and pictures, was never a pretentious institution, but no visitor failed to look with in terest at the many exhibits behind tho glass doors.

Why Not This/ Have you ever been delaye hours Jr. a railroad station and o pe'led to remain In the dreary placn without a companion, with nothiua bur old papers and magazines for di version? Few persons who travel oave not encountered this situation. Why can not a bulletin be printed io indicate places of interest in the city or town, with directions as to how to reach those places, and those signs u9 hung in plain view in the stations? This is work which could be done by .he women's clubs In a city. Often one has a long, tedious wait, and it vould, Indeed, be pleasaut to get out into the city and see one, if no jsore, of the Important places, and of print od instructions were right in view :he timid would not hesitate to go out. Jive us also tue names of respectable restaurants. One might get these places to advertise on the bulletin, which would pay for printing iL How many strange wonion alone or with ?bildreu know where to go for a luncheon in a strange city? Some go into the nearest p'^oe around the de ;>ot, not always the most cleanly places, and often in not very respect ive districts. A timid traveler will -uffer in silence before asking ques tions, and It seems this bulletin could be made so very useful that it would be a good plan tc have such a one printed and placed in every station where waits are possible. One of the dreariest days I ever spent in my life was at a station with nothing to read but a copy of the Johnstown flood, a backless "jook discovered in the ope rator's de.' k. Yet there was a library within teu minutes' car ride, and not an official at the station or any of tne loungers knew where it was lo cated. 1 doubt If- some of them knew the city had a library at all.

To keep a vinegar cruet shining *nd clean is not easy, as many s housewife can testify". The neck ol the cruet being narrow, usual bottlt cleaning methods are futile. After washing the bottle with ho* joapsuds and rinsing thoroughly a few hard bean3 can be inserted in the Dottle, which Is then almost filled with water, to which a few drops o: ammonia have been added. Shaking the beans around will remove incrus tation irom the sides. A long-handled paint brush with a f' ll, thick but n"t broad brush, is ex -ellent to clean out cruets. It ca/ Be dipped in a solution of soda 02 borax. One housekeeper ."aves nnd dries ner egg shells and puts them in her cruets, which are half filled with soapy water.
