M AYOR JOHNSON of Cleveland has evolved a novel sort of By means of it he hopes to avoid the worst of the dangers feared by the opponents of public ownership and at the same time contend for. The plan has the further great excellence of being tentative ; it does not commit the advocates of either policy to an time and money.

Johnson proposes that the railways be turned over.to a holding company, a board of trustees, appointed mutuaily by the electric company and on the bonds of the electric company and the regular five per cent on its stock. Out of any surplus it is to make needed extensions, to believes that five months of such management of the railways will prove his contention that three-cent fares are feasible. if the holding 2s promised, that failure will work forfeiture and the property re-’ turns to the ‘control of the electric company. n.w" ne cellar while the returns come in from North Carolina, Ken- | stz ples of the South.

The opponents of municipal ownership distrust the capacity of a'city to get able transportation managers, but by this plan the Electric Railway Company would see to it that they were well selected, and on the other hand the city would put men on the board able to protect the public’s interests. The powers would check and balance each other. The evil of politics promoting in- competence to place and the danger of corporation greed taking too big profits from the people would be both avoided if the ex- periment prove what Johnson expects of it. The Cleveland idea may turn out to be a more realizable thing than the Chicago design of municipalization. A GOOD NAME.

A man who loves shadow, who dwells forever in the gloom—a pessimistic mam—has very little power in the world as com- pared with a bright, sunny soul. The world makes way for the cheer- ful ma 11 doors fly open to him who radiates sunshine. He does not need an introduction; like the sunlight, he is welcome everywhere. A cheerful disposition is not only a power—it is also a great health tonic. A depressed mind makes the system more susceptible to disease; encourages its development because it kills the power of resistance. A cheerful soul can resist disease; and it is well known among physicians that - there is a greater chance for recovery from ex- haustive diseases of a bright, sunny soul than of a gloomy, despondent one. | “Cheerfulness is health; melancholy, disease.” Gloom and depression feed disease and hasten its development. THE WORLD’S FEET. “The American woman's foot is the prettiest,” said the shoemaker to a Min- neapolis Journal man. “It is at once slen- der and robust and very supple. The in- step is high and beautiful. In a word, a perfect foot—charming and serviceable alife in a pink satin slipper in a ball- room or in a white rubber-soled shoe on beot on the side of the Jungfrau or the Matterhorn. “The Frenchwoman's foot comes next. It is long and slender and elegant, but weak. No good for service. Very orna- mental. A foot for show. “The Spanish foot is small and its in- step s high and arched. Here, too, there is not enough strength. There is a ten- dency tq softness, and in later life to fat. “The German foot is large, but shapely and strong. It resembles the American foot, only it is much bigger. ““The English foot is the—is the—well, it is the limit! It is long, it is bony; it has no instep; it wears its shoe over on the side. Nowhere in the world will you find a race with such ugly feet as those of the English.” - a tennis court, or in a stout, hob-nailed ; s e ity | | | | -and Mrs. - Richard | THE SMART SE BY SALLY SHARP T Miss Mabel Dodge will be the guest of henor this evening at a dinner given by Mrs. B.

One of the latest designs calls for a blouse which may be worn either as a jacket over the thinnest and sheerest of lingerie blouses, or else as the top of a skirt to match, thus making either a two-piece or a three-piece suit of the same costume. A most charming and at the same time practical Is that fllustrated, in which a white drap d'ete is supplemented with sapphire velvet and white chiffon. The blouse is upon tailor lines, the shoulder broad and the sleeve of the fashionable three-quarter length, slit on the outside of the arm to admit a bouillonne of white chiffon, and with turndown cuffs top- The velvet is introduced as a little vest ef- fect over the chemisette, and likewise fashions the deep ceinture. There is just the suggestion of fullnese above the beit, both in the bagk and the front. ‘The color of velvet may be varied to miatch the different skirts with which the blouse may be worn, since both chemisette and ceinture are of the sepa- his | § Mr. and Mrs. T.

THE COMPASS—W. A. B, Fort Bragg, Cal. The essential part of the mariner's compass is the magnetized needle, balanced fraely upon a fine point; such a needle has the property of arranging itself in the meridian, one end always pointing to the north and the other to the south; yet not exactly. but with a deflection or declination, which varies from time to fime in mag- nitude and may be toward the west or the east. The declination west or east is according as the magnetic north lies west or east as the true north. Instru- ments have to be used to ascertain the astronomical meridian and the mag- netic meridian in order to read the compass correctly. BROKEN SIDEWALK—A. A. O, City. Article 1, section 5 of the echarter of the city and county of San Francisco on the question of liability says: “No recourse shall be had against the city and county for damage or loss to per- son or property suffered or sustained by reason of the defective condiiion of any sidewalk, street, lane, alley, court or place * * * butin any such case the person or persons upon whom the law may have imposed the obligation to, repalr such defect in the sidewalk, street or public highway * * * and also the officer or officers through whose official negligence such defect remains unrepaired shall be Jointly and severally liable to the party injured for the damage sustained.” TO CLEAN SHELLS—H. G. L, Liver- more, Cal. The following !s a method of cleaning sea shells: Dark, organic matter on the outer surface is first re- moved by using a thick mixture of bleaching powder, one part to two parts of water, and soaking the shells therein. On removing, scrub and wash the shells. Thick incrustation of lime must be picked off with a sharp-edged hammernor some similar tool and then the shells must be dipped into bofling, diluted hydrochloric acid. Valuable to ten of water.
