building which is now being filled
with the most modern aod artistic

of the room.The several plate glass

because of the heavy pieces of mar

bottom of each. Dr. Howell is one
of our most entrprising business

FAST TRAVELING IN NORWAY
8port of “Reindeer Tailing" That
Muat Be In the Highest Degree
Exhilarating.
"Jack is reindeer tailing in Nor
way,” said the debutante.
“What is reindeer tailing?”
“I thought you wouldn’t know, so
I brought his letter with me. Listen,
and I’ll read you all about it.”
She opened the letter and began:
“ ‘Your eyes’—no, that isn’t the
place.
“ ‘We went reindeer tailing yes
terday. You put on skis, and a rein
deer draws you over the snow at a
gallop. Horse tailing is common—
everybody does it at St. Moritz—but
even here in Norway, the very birth
place of winter sports, reindeer tail
ing is new and rare.
“ ‘A horse can only draw you over
smooth roads. You go fast, but
there is no real spice. A reindeer
can draw you up and down the wild
est mountains, as anyone may be
lieve who has seen this surefooted
creature careering at breakneck
speed among the most precipitous
peaks.
“ ‘You see the picture? The deer
is harnessed, you stand behind it,
rein in either hand; “whoop!” you
cry; away goes the animal, end on
your long skis you glide like the
wind up steep white hills, down
steep white slopes, across great
white silent valleys.’ ”
GIRLS AT COLLEGE.
Girls’ colleges report a boom in
attendance all around, and it is
lucky for the sake of American self
respect that all of them do, for the
increase in pupils in Bryn Mawr
actually has led a woman who wor
ships prominent persons, even those
prominent by proxy, to assert that
the continuance of Helen Taft as a
Bryn Mawr student “has aroused
ambitions in other girls.” Bryn
Mawr next year will raise the price
of tuition. Smith and Mount
Holyoke colleges last year doubled
their figures and found the applica
tions greater. In the only Catholic
woman’s college in this country.
Trinity, near Washington city, three
enlargements of the main building
have been made in the last foui
years, and still there is the cry foi
more room. Higher education foi
women surely is on the upward way.
PRESERVATION OF MILK.
A German patent specification de
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of the addition of a small
quantity of ferrous carbonate. The
process is based on the fact that
freshly precipitated ferrous carbon
ate in the presence of oxygen imme
diately assimilates oxygen and
evolves an equivalent quantity of
carbon dioxide. One part of ferrous
carbonate is sufficient for 50,000
parts of milk, and the properties of
the milk are not altered in any way
by the addition, which should be
made before the milk is boiled.
PROOF POSITIVE.
“One can’t help knowing,” said a
dandy, “when one is good-looking.
Why, I got off at a small station the
other day in the country, and I
must confess that I attracted a great
deal of attention.”
“It doesn’t mean anything,” said
his friend. “Why, when I get out oi
the grand central station I meet a
crowd of men who yell ‘hansom!
hansom!’ at the top of their lungs.”
—New York Herald.
SAFE DESCRIPTION.
“It is too bad you didn’t get a
chance to read my great interview
with the emperor. It’s certainly the
finest and brightest thing I ever
wrote.”
“What’s the reason I can’t read
it?”
“It was suppressed.”
NOT EVERY MAN.
“Every man has his weakness, you
know,” said the lady.
“No,” he replied, ‘not every man
succeeds in getting fas weakness to
accept him.”
ONLY IN A LIMITED WAY.
Ella—Does the foreigner you are
to marry speak English?
Stella—No, but he swears it.—Il
lustrated Sunday Magazine.
A REASON.
“Maudie has lots of strings to her
bow.”
“Yee, but she doesn’t seem to be
able to get a knot tied.”

You are reading this one.
That should convince you
that advertising in these

proposition; that it will
bring business to your

other fellow advertises is
probably the reason he is
