k Seventy-Four Miles An Hour. ]Ik
To a Washington group Colonel
IB \Vells H. Blodgett, of St, Louis, told
a story of railroad travel which caused
1^^ J^jAhearers to marvel. His theme was
l^^^kJkhe improvement of transportation !
^^^Kfacilities in the United States. His
B^Knrgument was that these advantages
coming so rapidly and with so little
^^HAaention that most people do not apSjl^^Bveciate
them.
? *" On a stretch of the Wabash re(fiWitly,"
Colonel Blodgett said, "sevof
us were at breakfast. The
N^pffee ciips stood so evenly that,
although they were full, not a drop
sp^ghed over the sides. Conversation-turned
upon speed, and one who
was at the table remarked that he had
often deaired to realize what a rapid
rate meant. Ha said he had been on
the New York Central when it was
I"- going s'xty miles an hour, but hehad
his doubt about it, because the jar did
not indicate anything unusual.
"At the time of this conversation
i- - the car upon which we were taking a
i. . meal did not seem to be making any
jbtV unusual time. We discussed the
aense of speed as it would be expe- 1
rienced by the traveler. As a matter
gjjp*- of curiosity, we asked the conductor
?t_' to look at the registering apparatus j

DRESSING THE HAND.
Many Novel Features in Gloves For
Spring "Wear.
White gloves have been in regular
fashionable standing for twelve years
now, and by all signs and omens for
reading the future they are good for
another dozen years of modish patronage.
Very heavy cream-white dogskin
gloves are the choicest dress for
the hands in the morning. These
boast one button, not of the patent
clasp variety, and because they are
of the shape and color and easy wrinkled
fit of those worn by the smart
Jehus who adorn the boxes of handsome
private carriages they pass under
the very descriptive title of coachman's
gloves.
There is a gun metal gray glace
giove stitched in white, or silk of the
same shade as the kid. and fastened
with large silver buttons, that strug
gles with some success ior recognition i
anions the well-gowned shoppers, who
call them coaching gloves. In reality
they are meant for wear on the box
seat of a trap, and because every woman
does something more or less athletic
these days, the morning gloves
are as loose as the skin on a high-bred
dog's back.
For afternoon and evening the spring
modes in gloves have novel features.
Pure white and very thin suede, embroidered
elaborately in black or a
color, is of the novelties novel. Embroidery
is considered especially appropriate
on the long gloves. The
needlework begins at the back of the
hand.goes wreathinggracefullyaround
the arm and flowers out in a petalshaped
edging at the end, somewhere
in the region of the shoulder. Some
brave spirits are exploiting with their
black evening gowns long black suede
gloves brilliantly embroidered in silver,
into the mesh of which an occasional
rhinestone is woven.
tVith black gloves it is not at all out
of the way to wear gants de suede in
gun metal color enlivened by a dazzling
row of rhinestone buttons set in
gun metal frames and running from
the wrist nearly to the shoulder. White
gloves of this same type have been
seen with little round bullet turquoise
buttons, and on the arm a bracelet or
two is worn just to show the glitter of
the jewels against the dusky kid surface.
With shepherdess straws and posey
muslins long black or white embroidered
mitten gloves will be worn when
summer luncheons, summer morning
dances, etc., begin. These mittens are
woven in reality of a very stout black
silk thread, and then, in fanciful designs,
wreaths and points and circlets
of black lace are judiciously applied.
The top of the mitten is made fast by
two straps of black satin ribbon to the
shoulder and a half thumb of net holds
everything firm about the hand. In
our midsummer, when gloves in the
evening seem intolerably hot, and yet,
with dancing gowns of Swiss or organdie,
every woman wishes for some
covering for her arms, these mittens
are not only useful, but highly ornamental,
and display a white hand and
brilliant rings to the greatest advantage.?Washington

EnlichteDment of Indian Women,
An English woman who has gone
to practise medicine in India recently
stated in a letter to a friend: "It has
been proved that only through the
enlightenment of the high class women
of India can help come to the Indian
women of lesser rank, and the medical
work of English women is evidently
to be the greatest and most powerful
lever for raising the iron door that
shuts the Eastern woman from Western
freedom and culture.
"It is an unfortunate fact, however,
that there are no more strenuous opponents
of any change in the position
of Indian women than most of those
women themselves. It is known to be
no uncommon thing for the old mother

A New Occupation.
An Engilsh woman with more ingenuity
than financial resources has
gone into business as a traveling window
dresser. Her stock iu trade consists
of a neat little box containing
pins, tacks and a tiny hammer. She
began by going to a few shops and
asking them to test her powers for
a trifling sum. Her taste made the experiment
a success in every case, and
now she goes to a number of towns,'
receiving regular pay jfrom several
firms in each. J

are also being worn for hat trimming.
Some of the new parasols are set

Queen's purple is the name of the
newest shade of the regal color to
claim favor. It is found in all the

It is asserted that white serge is to
be freely used for the summer tailored
gowns, and that the thin woolen fabrics
in white will be generally employed
for dressy gowns until extreme
heat drives women to muslins.
Bulgarian stripe embroidery done in
cotton is seen on many of the new

A
FORESAW HIS OWN DEATH. j
A Premonition That Quickly Came True '
Reported From a Canadian Village.
T':e little country town of St. Eustache,
in Quebec Province, reports a
case of second sight, premonition or
presentiment, which is scarcely
equaled by any of those related by M.
Camile Flammarion in "The Unknown."
One of the vil.agers, a healthy, middle-aged
man named Legare, after rising
one morning recently apparently
in the best of health and spirits said
abruptly to his wife:
"I am going to die to-night, but you
must not trouble yourself about it. I
am going to arrange everything in such
a manner as to give you as little worry
as possible."
Mrs. Legare believed that her husband
was .. :':ing, and attempted to
laugh off his remarks. Nevertheless,
Legare proceeded to shave himself
with care, changed all his clothing and
put on clean apparel, placed all his papers
and business affairs in proper order
and made his will.
Then he calmly asked his wifc to
go for the parish priest, in order that
he might make his confession and receive
the last sacraments of the
1- 4
c 11 uit'll ufiuie u.>mi;, ixtiujj IUUI iic
was apparently in the best of health,
his wife positively refused to go for
the priest until Legare had insisted
again and again that he was perfectly
sane and knew only too well what he
was about.
The priest went to the house with
Mrs. Legare and consented to receive
her husband's confession, but positively
refused to administer the sacrament
of extreme unctnn. reminding Legare
that it could be given only to a dying
person. In vain Legare insisted that
he was about to die, although perfectly
well at that time, and that he would
be a corpse that very night. The priest
was obdurate and left him.
Legare continued to busy himself
with the affairs of his estate until
parly in the evening, when he suddenly
expired. The doctors says that
death was due to heart failure and
could not possibly, in the natural order
of things, have been foreseen. The
remarkable circumstances attending
the death are? naturally enough, the
I wonder of the whole district.?New

American Pleasure Resorts.
j The increased number of visitors to
| the resorts of Florida this season is
a matter for distinct congratulation,
j Well-to-do pleasure seekers could nol
do the country a more material ser!
vice than by inaugurating a fashion
which would result in the retention
on this side of the ocean of the greater
part of the $100,000,000 now spent*
abroad annually by rich Americans.
There is another side to this question,
however, than the material one
of keeping good American dollars,
more or !ess hard earned, out of the
grasp of foreign fingers and in the
capacious pockets of American land"
J ik* An^AM
lords and or omers wuo iiuu me cmw
taiument of wealthy visitors an agreeably
profitable occupation. It is the
aesthetic side?a development which
follows as a natural consequence.
With the assurance of continually
increasing patronage scores of little
towns, not 0:1 the Florida coast alone,
but elsewhere within sight of blue
waters, would spruce up. Parks and
gardens would he laid out, and sand
dunes would blossom like the gardens
of Omar. All this would not be for
the sole benefit of the excessively rich
pleasure seeker. The visitor of limited
income would have his innings,
too, since after the resorts should
have once been established and paid
for by the rich his patronage would
also be sought after by the hotel
keepers.
In a hundred places in Europe the
man of moderate means, who philoj
sophically enjoys the delight of looking
at a beautiful landscape in nature
or on canvas as much as does the
possessor thereof, finds that fashion
has left in her wake charming places
j where he may be well content to
spend a restful day or week. It
would be well, indeed, if fashion's new
found devotion to American winter resorts?and
summer resorts as wellshould
have here the same result.?

Facts About Soap.
It is hard to realize that so indispensable
an article as soap was unknown
five hundred years ago, yet
its origin dates only from the year
1524, when it first appeared in London.
The ancient writers Pliny and
Galen mention, it as an invention of
tbo finnVr Knt no trace of it has been
? ?
found in records of Greek or Roman
"life. Pompeii's ruins yield many
tilings which seem quite modern, but
no soap has ever been discovered. As
a substitute the Romans used oil and
clay in their baths. Clay, containing
a percentage of fuller's earth, makes
a considerable lather, and is a very
fair makeshift; therefore they doubtless
managed to attain a sufficient degree
of cleanliness, especially as they
devoted long hours to the bath.
It is supposed that soap originated
in Mediterranean Europe, where great
quantities of olive oil were produced.
Oil, in fact, combined with either soda
or potash, makes a passable quality
of crude soap, and it is possible that
some Italian or Spaniard accidentally
hit upon the art of making it by letting
his rot of oil boil over and mix
with the wood ashes of the fire. Ashes
contain potash enough for the purpose,
and are still used in country
places for the manufacture of homemade
soft soap.?Chicago News.
Photographs of Queen Victoria.
When the Prince Consort was alive
lie used to see to it that no unfavorable

was given to the public. He

represented at her best. After his
death there was nobody to exercise
this censorship. The Queen seemed tc
have became indifferent to externals;
and, though she frequently allowed
her portrait to be taken and published,
she troubled little as to whether it
was good, l>ad or middling; whether
it gave her a pleasaut expression or
one that was almost forbidding in
its severity. Consequently there are
many likenesses of her late Majesty,
now circulating widely, which ought
to have been destroyed in their earliest
stage.?Modern Society.

The kodak is being regulated In
Washington. Use of it is forbidden

The use of cameras in the Senate
and House galleries is positively
forbidden. Likewise the navy-yard

ABSENCE OF LIGHTNING RODS.
Observations of s Stranger in New York
?Losses In the Century.
Absence of lightning-rods in this
city is one of the first things to claim
the attention to the stranger from the
country. Said a man from the West
the other day, "I suppose, in the residence
districts at least, the miles of
roof? present such a dead level that
one attracts lightning no more than
another, and so all escape.
"In-the country lightning-rods are
still used, and they are certainly necessary,
if the statistics of the Weather
Bureau reports prove anything.
"In four recent years, during which
a careful record was kent. there were
784 lives lost through lightning strokes.
All of these casualties happened between
the 1st of April and the last of
September, and the great majority in
June and July. In the five years at
the same time there were 351G fires
throughout the United States caused
by lightning, and involving a loss of
almost $13,000,000. Accidents from
lightning during the four years covered
were five times as frequent in
the country as in the city.
'"The Statue of Liberty on Bedloe's
Island is protected by copper rods,
which are united to the figure and extend
througn the pedestal to copper
plates buried in wet ground beneath
the foundations.
"The modern lightning rod is made
of twisted copper wire with a solid
copper rod for a tip. This kind of rod
has no joints or breaks, which were
the great dangers of the old-fashioned
rods.
"One of the stock references of lightning-rod
agents is the Washington
Monument, r.t Washington, which is
ideally situated for attracting the
lightning, rising to a lofty altitude in
a low, flat, and well-watered country.
The monument is capped by a small
four-sided pyramid of aluminum connected
with the ground by four copper
rods that reach deep into the earth. It
has been struck several times, but
without any damage being done save
for a slight crack in one side of the
aluminum cap."?New York Tost.

Electrical Possibilities.
In discussing the noiseless possibilities
of the future, the editor of the
Electrical Review give3 tais hopeful
outlook for the future:
In the ideal city distracting noises
will be unknown, and d.'rt and all unclean
things wiUJoe kept Without its
pale. Electricity is the magician that
can, and assuredly will, work the
change.
This admidablc ("ay may not bo so
far away. Electric power stations and
electric light stations are being located
farther and farther away from the
city's heart; the horse car, the steam
locomotive, the engine in % the basement,
tne coal stove, are one and all
being replaced by the quiet, odorless
and effective electric motor, by the
electric lecomotive, and surely but
slowly by the electric heater.
The rubber-tired clectromobile is
rapidly replacing tho driven horse, and
will replace him cot only for driving
but for heavy hauling purposes.
Ihc awful and constant volume of
sound of his unnumbered thousands
of iron-chcd feet hammering resounding
pavements will disappear forever,
and with it ninety per cent, of the filth
and odor of the street. With the passage
of the horse will go also the stone
pavements.
New Itccoril For tlio Four Skirt.
"Strange as it may seem, the trailing
skirts that women are now wearing
have almost ruined cur business," complained
an intelligent street beggar.
"That sounds queer, doesn't it? One
not acquainted with our business might
fail to sec the connection between professional
begging and women's skirts.
And yet what I say is true. The greater
part of our revenue ordinarily comes
women, hut since they've taken to
these long skirts for street wear they
are forced to hold them up, and that
keeps one hand constantly occupied.
It takes two hands to open a purse,
and I have often seen women stop as
though about to give something, but
this would necessitate letting go of the
skirt, and they have passed on again.
Yes, we have to study all these things.
The trailing skirt has already driven A
lor of us out of business."?Philadelphia

A N'ott Warning For Ships.

on the coast of British Colombia, with
the promise of satisfactory results. A
metallic conductor is lixed at an elevation.
and from it electric waves are
sent over a zone seven miles in width.
If a ship provided with a receiving instrument
comes within this zone it is
at once automatically warned of the
danger, and tne direction and distance

*T- OUISIANA will do well to
j f* study the experiences of oth- j
J V er States that have already | i
taken hold of the good roads '
movement, New Jersey, for instance, i
which is well in the lead. The good
roads movement is young there, dating , ,
back a few years only, yet New Jer- j j
sey, less than one-quarter the size of j
Louisiana, already possesses 532 ]
miles of the best roads in any coun- j <
try- .11
New Jersey has a Commissioner oi:
Public Roads, and his report, just published,
proves that the great growth
and prosperity of the State?for no
State is more prosperous just now?Is ;
due to the splendid condition of its J
highways and to their extension and j c
improvement.
The laws of New Jersey have exer- '
cised the best influence on road build- : i
ing. They are based on the theory
that a road is not exclusively for local
use, but is a highway between distant i j
points, in which the whole public and ! j
the State Itself is interested. An ener- | g
?.v.**. .,ff*r morr hnvo PVPPllpnt ! '
gciiv; WUlJLiUiuulij uuuj
highways, but if the neighboring com- 1 i
munities are not interested these good
roads will be of only limited benefit. : j
A good road can be secured in New
Jersey wherever the owners of twothirds
of the land fronting on the j \
highway will agree to pay one-tenth j j
of the cost. The township may then : ]
improve the road, paying sixty-seven j
per cent, of the cost and the State will i ^
pay the remainder. Under the County
Aid law the State pays one-third of the
cost of road improvement and the j
county pays two-thirds, less one-tenth ;
assessed on the abutting property hold- j
ers. As the county roads usually con- ;
aect at the county line tliey, when im- j
proved in several adjoining counties,'!
make long, continuous improved high- j
ways. The consequence is that splen- j
did public roads extend from one end i
of the State to the other.
The system has proved popular in
New Jersey, especially with the farm- i
ers. The money expended on building i
roadways is not raised oy direct taxation,*
but by the sale of bonds, the ;
payment of which is distributed over j
a term of years, so that there is no j
complaint on the score of taxation. |
The legislature, finding that too much j
money might be expended on road- j
ways, fixed a limit to the amount that j
may be used for that purpose. As a
consequence, there are more claimants
for appropriations than can be
gratified. On this point the State Commission
of Highways says:
"The people seem to be so wonderfully
impressed with the idea that by
good roads the value of lands will be
increased, transportation cheapened, j
travel and business attracted, school- J
houses and churches filled and civili- I
zation advanced, that they are pray- !
ing as earnestly for them as for great
riches. Consequently the pressure for
new roads is so great it seems almost
impossible to hold the people back. ;
They are so : nxious that they are not !
willing to confine themselves within
.the limit of the State and County ap- j
propriations. They are constantly in- :
sisting upon building ahead of the |
State appropriation, in order that they
may enjoy them now; therefore, although
the law, on account of the increased
expense of construction, will
not allow for the payment this year
of more than eight miles of roads, |
there have been and are about 140 !
miles under construction."
Could there be any better evidence
than this of the success of good roads
?and these results, it is to be remembered,
have been accomplished in a
very few years. Louisiana has every
possible incentive to go heartily into
this movement for better highways.
There is no reason why it should not
be as successful as New Jersey if It
inagurates the good roads movements
heartily and earnestly.?New Orleans j

vote the question of a bond issue to
the amount of $5,000,000 for road improvement
will be consoled by the action
of the legislature in raising this j
year's appropriation for that purpose |
from $220,000 to $420,000. This was j
done with Governor Odell's consent, I
and a far larger sum will become j
available for use on the highways of j
the State than they have hitherto
been able to command. Under the
Higbie-Armstrong act the counties, in
order to draw upon the appropriation
to any extent, must guarantee in ad- j
vance an equal amount, and there- j
fore if tlie provision now offered by '
the State is fully utilized the total expenditure
authorized this year will be
$810,000. That the whole of it will
be called -for appears certain, inasmuch
as the local applications already j
exceed $2,000,0000. Truly excellent i
progress is being made toward a goal J
which only a few years ago seemed j
nopeiessiy remote.?i>ew xora ximes.
The Movement Infectious.
It is a fortunate fact in the history
of the good roads movement that it is
exceedingly infectious, and when once
started spreads with great rapidity, j
That has been the experience of Mas- !
sachusetts, New Jersey and Connect!- I
cut, and it is now pretty safe to ex- J
pect that New York will not be an ex- |
ception to the rule. A well made and
well kept thoroughfare demonstrates
its value so conclusively that there is
no use in attempting to deny it in the :
presence of any one who has seen the j
truth. Thus the number of advocates
of road improvement continually mul- I
tiplies, and?minorities are converted ;
into majorities in a manner surprising !
even to themselves.
For the Highways.
The good roads officials o: the Gov- ;
ernment are felicitating themselves
over the fact that, although Congress
failed to pass the river and harbor
bill, it dia appropriate $20,000 for the |
cause of good roads. Even though this j
was $130,000 less than the amount
asked for, the beautifiers of the public
highways are thoroughly satisfied with
the treatment accorded them by Congress,
all things and all appropriations I
considered.
J
Capable Sign Artists.
The makers of the big and gaudy ; advertisements
which so offend on
every side are not, as might be supposed,
mere inartistic daubers. They
are frequently real artists, who have
had years of training even abroad, but J
who find that more legitimate forms
of art afford them only a precarious
livelihood.
