Destsch, the Rtrasn petroleum reftner. Tfeai cwdttlow required that a start he saade fa the neighborhood of St. Ckml, that the Eiffel tower be circled three times, and that the airship then return to its starting place at an aver­ age sped of not less than thirteen miles an hour. More than one inventor has been struggling under this incentive. Hence M. Santoa-Dumont has been working at the greatest speed lest he be fore­ stalled, and he undertook the test at the earlist moment He has already discovered several possible improve­ ments which will Increase the mo­ bility and safety of the airship.

Santos-Dumont's ex­ periment was a success in that the bal­ loon navigated against the wind for the first time in the history of airship construction. One or two minor de­ fects which can be easily remedied in a few hours prevented the complete carrying out of the tests, but it is safe to prophesy that within a month M. Santos-Dumont's invention will hold as complete dominion over the air as a ship does over the sea. steam yacht plows the seas. M.

The balloon glided along toward the Eiffel tower, its coat reflecting the beams of the early sun, apparently obeying the will of the steerer willing­ ly. Nearlng tho tower on the south side the baloon maintained its course until It was less than fifty yards away, when It gracefully turned northward. M.

Was not without distinguished ances­ try. Little is known, however, about the family tree. When Mr. and Mrs. Kruger, in 1892, entered the two-story cottage in Pre­ toria which was the executive man­ sion of the Transvaal, they did not change their mode of life, and the simple, unpretentious housekeeping which they had followed theretofore was continued. It was only within the last few years, and'then only be­ cause of her great age, that Mrs. Kru­ ger took servants into the house. Up to four years ago she did all the housework herself, although her hus­ band's income of 136,600 from the gov­ ernment, not ta speak of his winnings from his private enterprises, was suf­ ficient to have given her the service of a princely castle. But -Mrs. Kruger preferred to do her own cooking and housecleaning, and seldom had any as­ sistance save that of her daughters while they were still unmarried. H • TV) his wife, who died in Pretoria a few days ago, President Kruger of the Transvaal attributed much of his suc­ cess in the political life of the South African republic. Mrs. Kruger was compared in this respect to the wife of the late Prince Bismarck. Like Mrs. Bismarck, she remained modestly in the background, and comparatively lit­ tle Is known about her.

It was urged that the title was a misnomer and that "Columbia" should be substituted for "America." A little later objection was made to the tune because it was borrowed straight from "Ood Save the King" and conseQuently not suited to free­ dom's cause. And now a correspond­ ent of the New York Sun proposes to do away with the whole thing. He gays: "Let us have a fresh and or­ iginal tune, and in the name of good taste, patriotism and common sense away with the vapid and ramshackle verse." antamet band often consulted her in matters of state. Mrs. Kruger was a daughter of the Duplessis family, one of the best known names in South Africa, and was a niece of President Kruger's first wife. She bore Oom Paul sixteen children, seven of whom were living up to the outbreak of the war with Great Britain, in which two of the four sons have been killed, leaving two sons and three daughters still alive. The Duplessis family comes from the blood that gave Cardinal Richelieu to the world, and Mrs. Kruger therefore and funny ideas as ever In his prime, Cleveland is going to put on a novel continuous show under canvas.

Artificial wool made from turf fibers Is now employed at Dusseldorf, Ger­ many, for manufacturing cloth, ban­ dages, hats, rugs, etc., says the Youth's Companion. Ten years have elapsed since the first attempts to make turf wool, and it is averred that recent improvements in the processes hare re­ sulted in the production of a soft, fibrous material, which can be spun as readily as sheep's wool, and which, be­ sides possessing excellent absorbent properties, is capable of being bleached and colored for use in various textile industries.

Among other things, he said: "The New England people are upon the soil, but are not of it.

What the average American woman who lives in the city needs most of all in summer is an entire change from what constitutes her life during the winter. She wants pleasure, for that is good for all of us in moderate quan­ tities, and particularly for the house­ keeper. But her pleasure should not mean late hours, for they sap her vi­ tality and strength. She needs those health pleasures and that quiet con­ tent which enable her to occupy her mind with the things around her and shut out all thought of the life behind her and that which is before her, so that when she Is ready to go back to her home she can take up her duties again with a vigor and a sest of new strength and fresh energy. The last thing she ought to think ot is the question of dress. Q«mi fhlttac In Corea visiting cards meafltttfnff i foot square are in vogue.
