A novel device recently patented by
a West Virginia woman is the unique
dustpan shown in the illustration. It
was designed with one object in view
—to overcome the objection of the
ordinary dustpan. In the latter no
provision is made for:preventing the
dust and dirt from blowing off the
pan after it has been gathered. In

for the dust and dirt to drop on the
floor.. This dustpam, when closed, is
in the form of a box, one of the sides
of the box forming._the front edge of
the dustpan when the- latter is

the dust and dirt have been brushed
into the dustpan the box is lifted by

Having a Good Time.
A wholesale scorn of physical ills is
a good thing, according to the philos
ophy of a boy in the State School for
Dependent Children, who wrote his
father thus:
“Dear Papa—We children are hav
ing a good time here now. Mr. Sager
broke his leg and can’t work. We
went on a picnic and it rained and
we all got wet. Many children here
are sick with mumps. Mr. Higgins
fell off the wagon and broke his rib,
but he can work a littlee. The man
that is digging the deep well whipped
us boys with a buggy whip because
we threw sand in his machine, and
made black and blue marks on us.
Ernest cut his finger badly. We are
all very happy.”—The Delineator.

CHURCHES IN BGYPT.
Existed Two or Three Clflh\'fl
After Death of Christ is Ofilfi%
of Archaeclogists. = 7 ‘;1
News received from Dr. David Rans
Ca.l Maclver's archaeological expedis |
tion to Egypt has thrown scientifie
cireles at the University of Pennsyl~
vania, Philadeiphia, into a flutter of
excitement, for the director of the
expedition, in the report just rececived,
announces discoveries hardly less im
rortant than those which he made at
Anibeh early in January. e
Whiie in the north of Egypt, early |
in February, Dr. Maclver discovered
several Christian churches of a datfi";
within two or three centuries after |
the death of Christ. These ancient‘!
sanctuaries of the earliest adherents
of the then despised Christian sect
were carefully cleared of the heaps |
of desert sand which have covered
them during the lapse of centuries.
The members of the expedition then |
made careful maps and photographs |
of the shrines. It is thought at the }
university that when these maps and
pictures are published much will be ‘
added to the little amount of knowl
edge antiguarians possess regarding
the churches and the modes of wor
ship of the earliest Christians out
side of the city of Rome.
As a rival to the famous Cleopatra
vase discovered at Anibeh, which is
now carefully boxed up in Cairo,
awaiting shipment to the university
museum, Dr. Maclver discovered, ini
a little known locality near the see
ond cataract of the Nile, a number of W
mervellously carved capitals of col
umns and a cornice sculptured with
the heads of the Royal Draeus. This
snake was the emblem of the ancient
Egyptian monarchy. The columns
and the cornice are similar to the
sculptures of Philas, and are of the
same period, but are said to be in
perfect condition. Dr. Maclver be
lieves that these newly discovered
pieces of architecture represent the
finest works of their class in exist
ence, and for beauty of design and
execution he says they rival some of
the work on some of the most famous
of the Grecian temples. %
Dr. Maclver left Anibeh, the scene
of his earlier discoveries, on January
15, leaving half of his party there to
continue the excavations in charge of
his assistant, Dr. Woolev. After mak
ing a careful study of the Middle
Empire forts and towns of Mirgeshich
and Behn, near Wady Halfa, the party
began working northward. Owing to
the great success of the expedition,
Dr. Maclver may stay in Egypt longer
than was at first expected. In his
latest report he expressed doubt as
to whether he will bring his expedi
.tion home before the early part of
next year. -
ASLEEP UNDER WATER. .
e Tty
One of the Funny Incidents Possible
in a Diver's Life. = o
As showing how much at home a
man may be to-day under water, I
may relate an amusing story. Some
months ago, while the great battie.
ship Dreadnought was at Malta, one
of the seamen divers went down to
clear her propeller from some ‘flot
sam that had wecome entagled, and
he failed to come up. It chanced
that the rest of the battleship’s div
ers were ashore, and grave concern
was felt on the ironclad for the miss
ing worker. Signalg by telephone
and lifeline were sent below, without
avail.” In the launch above the throb,
throb of the air pump’s cylinders
went on, but the attendants looked
at one another in dismay, fearing
some strange tragedy deep down in
those heaving green seas.
The worst was feared when some
big brushes and other tools came
fioating to the surface, and thereupon
the navigating lieutenant sent ashore
an urgent message for one of the
other divers. The man came on
board, dressed immediately, and went
below, only to come up full of indig
nation.
“Why. that fellow’s been asleep all
this time!” he said, wrathfully. It
was true. The man had just had his
lunch, and finding the work much
less serious than he had thought, he
finished it in a few minutes and then
sat ‘comfortably on one of the gian{
blades of the Dreadnought’s propel
ler and went to sleep, with inquisi
tive fishes swarming around him, at
tracted by the dazzling searchlight
on his breast! The officers were o
amused at the occurrence that no
punishment was inflicted on the lazy
one.—From ‘‘The Divers of a Navy
and Their Adventures,” in St. Nichs

5 I'raining Shy Girls.
- If your daughter is growing up
too quiet and never seoms to have
anything to say, exert yourself to
araw her out.
. Lead her into general conversa
tion at every opportunity and let her
feel that her thoughts and opinions
are of some weight and importance.
. Do not let her sink into that state
of mind which is content to let oth
er people take the burden of conver
sation, while she sits by in apparent
stupid silence.
It is a habit which will grow upon
her and prevent her being gracious
and, attractive, and will become more
deeply fixed if referred to in any way.
Some day her chances of happiness
‘may be ruined by it. — New York
Times.
Remodeling Dresses,
- Speaking of the remaking of old
dresses, one of the best dressmakers
in Paris is authority for the statement
.that it does not pay. “Do not rip up
your old gown; do not touch a scis
sors to it,” says she, “but content
yourself with retrimming it.” In
these days a pointed guimpe of filet
‘and duchess lace can be set into an
old blouse. This will give the new
jumper effect. If the sleeves are
short and too puffy at the shoulders,
they can be made to look different by
;.by placing a flat piece of trimming
_upon the shoulder seam. This makes
the shoulder look lpnger without al
tering the set of the sleeve. A long,
. light lace undersleeve, coming to the
‘knuckles, makes the sleeve still more
- modish.

Lady Baltimore Cake: Recipe For the Famous South
Carolina Delicacy.—“ Here is a South Carolina recipe for this
cake, deservedly a favorite in all Southern dining rooms long
before Mr. Owen Wister heaped drawing room honors upon
it,” says the Woman’s Home Companion.
“Two-thirds of a cupful of butter, five eggs, two cupfuls
of sugar, four cupfuls of flour, one-half cupful of rich milk,
two level teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar and one level tea
spoonful of soda. Cream half the sugar with the butter,
beat the remaining sugar into the yolks of the eggs, and sift
‘thee cream of tartar and the soda twice through the flour; beat
‘the eggs and sugar together with the butter and sugar, add
‘the milk slowly, and finally beat in the flour and stifly beaten
whites of the eggs. Flavor half this mixture with rose, and
into the other half heat one teaspoonful of powdered cinna
mon, one teaspoonful of powdered cloves and one grated nut
meg, and flavor with vanilla, lemon or almond; bake in four
layer cake pans—two white layers and two spiced layers.
“For the Filling: Cut fine one cupful of sedeed raisins,
shred thin half a citron melon, grate one small coacoanut and
blanch three-fourths a pound of almonds; make an ordinary
boiled icing, and into it beat all these ingredients save the
almonds. Put the mixture thickly between the layers, and
finish the top layer—which should be a white one—with
sprinkled powdered sugar and the almonds stuck in porcupine
wise. The measuring cups are ordinary coffee cups and are
filled just level. This is a successful recipe and one easily
followed.”
healthier than those in our country.
I think this is due entirely to the fact
that they spend so much time in
walking. It is nothing for an Eng
lish girl or woman to walk a distance
of seven or eight milgs. Let the
voung ladies of New York try this
some afternoon, and they will not
suffer from a lack of appetite for din
ner. If the girls and women of New
York should form a walking club I
would be delighted to walk with them
some afternoon and give what advice
I could.
I think the fad for high heel shoes
in New York and Paris is responsible
for so little walking among our wom
en. They cannot walk far .in high
heel shoes. Their ankles become
twisted, and there is such a pressure
upon the instep that the pain will
prevent them from going any long
distance. — Weston, in the Evening
World.
Playgrounds For the Pcor.
" “I gee you are planning for the in
troduction of playgrounds for poor
children in New York on a rather
elaborate plan,”” said Mrs, Clara B.
Lemar, of Berlin, to a New' York Tel.
egram reporter,
'“I hope you will not follow the
model of REuropean playgrounds
which I have seen. It would be dif
fieult to find a more demoralizing
place for a child than the average
playground as now run in England
and on the Continent.
~ “The first requisite for a boy to get
along in a public playground abroad
i$ to be a ‘bluffer’ and a ‘bully.’
“The boy who cannost fight a gang
and come out on top four or five
times a day stands little show in one
of our ideal public playgrounds.
" “The moment he appears his toys
ore taken away from him and he is
tent home to get money for the
‘gang.’ His standing at the play
ground after thatdepends either upon
his ability to steal from his parents
for the berefit of his playmates.or
% ability as a fighter,

‘”gh-l will be comypietely trans
formed by a week at one of these
‘public playgrourds {ato a rough, bois-
| —
terous, loud voiced child, with rough
manners and shocking speech.
“All of these places soon become
so terribly crowded the children are
compelled to yell at the tops of their
voices, and they soon carry this cus
tom home with them. It has also
been found by many ‘parents abroad
that these large playgrounds are the
means of spreading children's dis«
eases over whole neighborhoods.”
Fashion’s Dictates.
‘‘Since semi-precious stones have
become so extremely fashionable,”
writes Grace Margaret Gould, the
fashion editor, in the Woman's Home
Companion, ‘‘women depend a great
deal on jewelry as the finishing touch
to their costume. Of course. we all
know that an abundance of cheap
Jewelry is in the worst possible taste,
and no woman of refinement would
$0 bedeck herself. But to wear a
necklet of a fine gold or platinum
chain, artistic and unusual, finished
with a flower-shaped pendant made
of baroque pearls and white or green
metal, set with tiny diamonds, is in
perfect taste if it is in harmony with
the type of gown with which it is
worn.
“Bracelets can also give a very
artistic finishing touch to a costume.
Old-fashioned designs for bracelets
are much sought, and a new cameo
mounted on a gold band is one of
the favored new ideas. An exquisite
design for a bracelet shows a large
pirk-and-white cameo having the
effect of being held in place by
buches of pearl grapes.
“Flower pins studded with colored
stones are much used at present, for
this spring the artificial flower is
worn with street costumes, and the
pin to hold it has become quite a
necessity.”

Freeholders
in France,
Consul-General Robert P. Skinner,
of Marseiiles, France, has made an
interesting report on the subject of
freeholders and real estate transac
tions in that country, in which he
says that there are 8,000,000 free
holders in France, and outlines a sys
tem whereby French workingmen
own their little country homes. Mr.
Skinner says in part:
“There are upward of 8,000,000
separate freeholds in France, as com
pared with about 300,000 in Great
Britain, a fact which in itself speaks
volumes. A Frenchman will part
with anything rather than land.
When the United States Immigration
Commission visited a ecertain spot
near Marseilles recently it was found
impossible to ascertain ‘the average
price of land’ in that locality, because
no transactions ever took place, other
than by inheritance. In ecities it is
difficult for persons of modest means
like workingmen, to own real estate,
for obvious reasons. Nevertheless,
and especially in Marseilles, where
there is an excellent two-cent fare
street car service, outlying property
is Dbeing taken up by families in
moderate circumstances.
“There is alsc a local custom
among poor men who feel that they
must reside in the city of buying an
outlying patch of ground and erect
ing thereon a ‘cabanon’ of two or
more rooms, where they spend Sun
days and holidays. There are settle
ments where hundreds of these toy
houses are to be found, each with a
- bit of a garden, deserted throughout
the week and scenes of great anima
tion on Sunday, the most intense
rivalry existing to have the best gar-_
den or the most attractive ‘cabanon,’
the day terminating in a reunion,
where poetical improvisations are
listened to, songs sung and speches
made.
“The Government itself, which fos
ters thrift by every means, encourages
working people to abandon the
wretched, crowded habitations of the
cities and to become householders, by
loaning out the money of the savings
banks (‘ciasses d'epargne’) not to the
individual, but to societies patronized
by the State. These societies effect
the transactions with the individual.
Thus, the Societe des Habitations
Salubres, 32 Rue Paradie, Marseilles,
advances money for the construction
of cottages at the rate of four and
one-half per cent. As sasings banks
pay depositors two and three-fourth
per cent., the margin is close.
“These dealings are regulated by
the law of April 12, 1906. Loans
are limited to 9500 francs ($1883.50)
| in the city and to 7000 francs ($1351)
in the environs. At present seventy
five cottages have been constructed in
Marseilles under this law, the occu
| pants becoming owners, with a clear
title, at the end of twenty years.
Building plans have to be submitted
to the architects of the soclety, and
must conform to certain standard re
quirements as to light, ventilation and
sanitary arrangements.”
There are also at work on some
what parallelel lines several French
building and loan associations, which
differ from American associations in
that they usually .:perate over more
or less the whole of France, as do the
great French banks., The attempt is
made by the moving spirits in these
associations to expand thelr utility
beyond mere public service as money
lending agencies. ’
While depositors in these building
associations are permitted to build
“according to their own plans, they
are decidedly encouragea to adont
standard designs, of which there are
many suited to al) purses, It is really
surprisiag to discover what comforta
ble litile houses can bhe erected in
this co.ntry for a very small amount,
sometimes S2OO and S3OO. All houses
are built of practically imperishable
and fireproof materials, cheap frame
