Mr. Dellef*# ! baugh says: _ The quickest horses in the world were at one time in Kansas City, at the headquarters of its fire depart* ment, directly under the office of the Chief, Mr. George C. Hale. To Mr. Hale’s genius, more than to any other factor, the quick horse owned his first development; for Mr. Hale is the in ventor of the earliest swinging-har ness—which made the quick horse possible. When Mr. Henry M. Stan ley and his wife were in this country, they witnessed an exhibition drill of the Kansas City Fire Department. The drill so impressed the visitors that an account of it was published in a London journal, and this English article brought an invitation to Mr. Hale to visit England as the represen tative of the American Fire Service at the International Fire Tournament. Mr. Hale and a picked corps went to England, taking with them the re- markably quick horses “Joe and “Dan,” and they became world-fam ous. As the quickest harnessing time of the London Fire Brigade is one minute, seventeen and one-half sec onds, and the Kansas City horses were harnessed in one and three-quarter seconds, and were out of the engine- house in less than eight seconds,^there could be no competition. In Kansas City, four fine bays were harnessed to j the hook-and-ladder truck almost as ; qu»ckly as even Joe and Dan could ' jump into their harnesses. It was a pretty sight to see these four well- kept horses spring to their places at the stroke of the gong, and in two or three seconds stand ready to run with the apparatus. Joe was killed by an. accident; but Dan, with a new mate, is still in service, and as quick as y dis- w stoc Atake r\ of ock 1 Vj [ERS, <AD THIS! 28 iOw at oeing held ot^ Wajtste toftelt 0 f jewels running “ " '—* U- his labora- (Heary £• Crampton. ^ hutterfil age. > ; . ni nffe He stumbled upon the J®" 8 . °* “f®- a * e ar ago while examin- u ' 6 -- that is, the ? ^ nWomenon of cellular iu« r life of certain insects in ^ He never made tclfT his discoveries, and they muon 01 ui TOarB lt not of his would not be known now were exposed to view by the wearing away can foretell what his discoveries may lead to.” — Found a *o..il C*pr«« 8W ‘“ P ' . .

Lena Bead is a court stenographer in Terre Haute, Ind. She recently took the minutes of an important suit, then refused to typewrite them on the ground that she was to be married, and did not have time. To solve the difficulty, a phonograph was procured, and she read the notes into that. Fifty cylinders were made, and when the cases comes up for a new trial they will be used as a record. It turns out that it was not Alma Tadema, the painter, who was natural ized in England a few weeks ago, bat his daughter. His name was original ly Laurens Tadema. He added the Alma for euphony, and changed Laurens to Lawrence, and was natural ized in 1873. His daughter bears the same name and signs her poems L. Alma-Tadema, as her father does his pictures. Hence the confusion. ever. The record for quickest time from the engine-house to the throwing of water on the fire is held by a Kansas City company. In this instance the horses were harnessed, a run of 2194 feet (a little less than half a mile) was made, and water thrown from the hose in the wonderfully brief time of one minute, thirty-one and one-half seconds.

The latest ties for women are the sailor knots of silk with broad ends, sometimes trimmed with tiny plaited frills. “Wylborye” is the name of a new corset which is recommended for stout women. An extra piece laces over the hip in such an effectual manner that the figure is very much improved. Roman striped sashes with deep knotted sewing silk fringe on the ends are revived again in all the gorgeous colors, and tho latest necktie is of Roman ribbon, tied in a four-in-hand knot with tiny fringe-trimmed ends.

Sipping is a powerful stimulant to the circulation, a thing which ordinary drinking is not. Dur ing the act of sipping the action of the nerve which shows the beats of the heart is abolished, and as a conse quence that organ contracts much more rapidly, the pulse beats more quickly, and tho circulation in - various parts of the body is increased. In addition to this, we find that the pres sure under which the bile is secreted is raised by the sipping of fluid. And here is a point which might well be noted by our readers: A glass of cold water, slowly sipped, will produce greater acceleration of the pnlse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken at a draught. In this connec tion it may not be out of place to mention that sipping cold water will often allay the craving for alcohol in those who have been in the habit of taking too much of it, and who may be endeavoring to reform, the effect being probably due to the stimulant action of the sipping. Thrifty Firemen. The firo engine house, No. 15, at Sixteenth and Bell streets has in addi tion to two hose reels and trucks and prancing horses the essentials of a dairy and a chicken farm. At No. 15 there are always milch cows in plenty and chickens in profusion. This en gine house is on the north side of the stock yards and abuds on the shed where speculators at the yards house their cows that are in milk. This ex plains the dairy end of the story. The firemen have only to step from their backjdoor into the cow shed to obtain all the fresh milk that they and their families need and in the summer time they indulge in great qi a ities of ice cream. On the south side of the engine house is a chicken coop and last sum mer the firemen raised 800 chickens by the aid of two velvet ribbon combined with aigrettes Twists of chiffon and gold gauze rib bon are also worn. Every other woman is faithfully wearing beads about her throat, whether wax pearls, the truly Venetian glass beads or collars of genuine gems, it makes very little difference.
