The Belva
Desirous of buying a camera a-cer
tain fair young woman inspected the
stock of a local shopkeeper.
"Is this a good one?” she asked as
she picked up a dainty little machine.
"What is It called?”
“That's the Belvedere,” . said the
handsome young shopman politely.
There was a chilly silence. Then the
young woman drew herself coldly er
ect, fixed him with an icy stare and
asked again:
“Er—can you recommend the Bel
va?”

sured the comfort that comes from riding^behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.

self a Popular Haro.
General KornllolT is considered the
pluckiest general in tlie Russian army
The story of iiis career reads like a
fairy tale.
Short of stature, with a bristling mus
tache. Koruilod'. who is a general of
the Siberian cossacks, tirst became
known during the Russian relreut in
the Carpathians In l’.llo. Against des
perate odds lie held out with bis divi
sion till lie himself was taken prisoner
by the Teutons For several mouths
lie was interned in Austria ami had a
very bard time there.
In llilt; be decided to escape. Dis
guised as a peasant, risking Iiis life on
many occasions, be walked hundreds
of miles across the Carpathians Into
Rounianla. When be liuully arrived in
Russia be was greeted with unbounded
joy by the’ army. Mis feat also made
him very popular with the entire na
tion. This made it possible for him to
gain the great honor, immediately after
the revolution, of being the tirst com
mandant of the revolutionary army at
I’elrograd.
In this capacity be was dispatched to
Tsarskoe-Selo to arrest the c/.arlna.
The scene that followed bis arrival at
the residence of Nicholas KomunoiT on

A MATTRESS ON A WARSHIP.
It la Both a Comfortable Bod and a
Fino Life Prasarvar.
It must afford considerable consola
tion to the navy recruit to realize that
the mattress on which be sleeps so
comfortably at night will stand him in
good stead in case of an accident to the
ship. In fact, the very buoyancy which
makes it such u comfortable bed is also
the quality which makes it possible for
It to be converted at a moment's no
tlce into a life preserver, says tbe Pop
ular Science Monthly.
The mattresses are stuffed with ka
pok, a lighter tbau cork material which
is imported from the West Indies in
bales similar to bales of cotton. It is
made from the seeds and silk of a tree
not unlike tbe cotton wood* tree, but in
stead of being in puffy balls tbe kapok
is in slender threads, which when com
pressed make a mass that is sis times
more buoyant than cork.
Thin layers of the kapok are inclosed
In strong ticking for the mattresses.
Each mattress is provided with tai»es
long enough to tie around the body and
over tbe shoulders. It requires only a
minute to adjust them.
She Knew What to Taka.
Five-year-old Mary, wbo is always
anxious to be in everything that goes

long suffering minister stlU endures
donation parties to make his back sal

ged eagerly:
“Can’t I take somethin', too. muv
ver?”
“No. If your father aud 1 take some
thing, that wUl be plenty.”
But the child could not bear to give
up the Idea. So she ransacked the
whole house for something suitable.
Finally she appeared before her mother
with a worn and faded dress of her
own.
“Pleaae, muvver, can’t I take this?
See. it’s not a tpeck of good for any
thing,” she urged.—Christian Herald.
