Miss Dorothy. Drew is the youngest

This young lady while yet a baby

DOROTHY DItEW. “"
The “Grand Old Man,” her mater-
nal grandfather, took sides with the
baby, and Miss Dorothy Drew, now a
little miss of four or five, has, all un-
aware of her right to fame, become 3
Confirmed Kneippist.
Her Majesty the Queen, having
heard many interesting and amusing
stories concerning Miss Dorothy
Drew, badg the young lady to bestow
the honor of a visit from her small
but distinctive personage upon her
sovereign. Subjects of Her Majesty
are not given to excusesm
When Miss Dorothy Drew was
made aware of the tremendous honor
bestowed upon her she informed her
family that she would accept Her
Majesty’s invitation provided she
might go barefooted. '
It required the united efforts 'of the
entire Gladstone contingent. including
the doting grandpapa, to induce Miss
‘Drew to wear shoes to the Court of
St. James. -
The picture reproduced is taken
from the celebrated oil portrait by
Burne-Jones. Little Miss, Drew is
shown arrayed as she would have
gone to court if permitted.
llIakes 3 Bullet Out of a Nickel.
, A Union Pacific engineer has a fash-
ion of making unique pocket pieces for
his friends. 'He runs a passenger en-
gine West, and when oiling, previous
to a run, he drops a. nickel five-cent,
piece into the brass oilcup on the cross-g
head of the piston rod. His run is 300*
miles. When he reaches his destina-
tion he unscrews the top of the oilcup
arid takes the nickel out. It has been
metamorphosed into a curious little
’ bittd’n‘ with an evenly turned rim, with-
in which, on the inside, is the counter-
sunk head of liberty, divested of her
stars, and on the other side the V and
the wreath. 'The edge of the crown is
as perfect as if it had been pounded on
an anvil by an expert Silversmith. ‘
Sometimes a. nickel is left in the cup
,during the round trip, or 600 miles.
When taken out it is a nickel bullet,
a perfect polished sphere. Who dis-
covered this unique method of turning
the edges of a nickel is not known, but
.many engineers know of’ it. Chicago

JAPANESE WOMAN WRITER.
Otano “’atunna ‘Vrites Clover Stories 01
Life in Japan. ’
Kitishima Kata Hasche is the real
or family name of the clever Japanese
girl who is winning fame by writing
for the magazines and newspapers‘ol
Chicago and the east under the pen
name of Otano Wata‘nna, while‘more
dollars come from her work as steno
grapher. Miss Hasche, or as she pre?
fers to be called, Miss Watanna—ethf
two names meaning the same thing,
but belonging to different Japanese
dialects——although scarcely past her
twenty4fi1‘st birthday, has seen-more 01
life and experience than the average
woman of twice her age. The realism
which makes her fiction so true to life
and so keenly interesting is based on
a knowledge of life and the world
which has been acquired in the most
practical way.
Born in Yokohama, Japan, she was
taken by her parents, and in company;
with the three brothers and nine sis-
ters, who shared with her their care
and supervision, to Liverpool, England
and from thence to Manchester, be-
fore she was eight years of age. The
journey from Japan to Englanad was
made by sailing vessels and occupied
an entire year. ' .‘ _ ‘ _:
From. Manchester the family emi-
grated to Canada, settling in Montreal,
and it was in this city that Miss Wa-
tanna received most of her education.
Shortly after entering‘ her'teens she
taught herself shorthand, totally un-
aided except by a book on the Pitman
system of shorthand, and she left Mon-
treal when only sixteen to go to the
West Indiesas ,courtreporter and cor—
respondent for the News Letter of
position she was the onlywoman al-
lowed .to be presentat the sessions of.
the British parliament, and her. re-
ports, differing’from those of her fel- _' j
low workers in that they were”unolfi-' -? ’
cial, were witty and sarcastic enough .
to call general attentiongtotheir,writs.

New. York, and ,Miss,Wata‘nna’s older _
sister now occupies her 'former’posiz 5
tion in Jamaica. Another sister, also
a writer, is married to one {6f ,vthe; best
known philosophical and scientific wri-
ters in America. . r '
A‘t present'the Japanese writer is
' engaged. with,‘stenographic
work during a portion of every day.
The remainder other time, including
many midnight hours, she devotes to
the writing of short stories and poems.
Some of these stories, nearly all of
which deal with~ Japanese life and
customs, and which are peculiarly
fresh and .unhackneyed in treatment,
have been recently accepted by the
editors of Munsey’s .'Magazine, the
Ladies"Home Journal, the Black Cat,
and the Iroquis Magazine. The Met-
ropolitan Magazine was the first to
bring out a. bit of the Japanese writ-
er’s work, and she has also éontributed
to some of the leading newspapers in
eastern cities—Chicago Times-Herald
VITALITY on THE LIFE PLAN‘T.
Almost Impossible to lestroy It—Has.
Grown When Pressed and Laid Away.
There is a. creepingmoss found in
the islands of Jamaica, Barbadoes and
other parts of the West: Indies, known‘
as the life plant."lts p'ower of vital-
ity is beyond that of any other member
of the vegetable kingdom. It is absoa
lutely indestructible by any means ex-.
cept immersion in boiling water or the!
application of a red-hot iron. It may'
be cut up and divided in any manner,.
and the smallest shreds will throw out
roots, grow and form buds. The';
leaves ofihis extraordinary plant have;
been suspended in the air of a dry
reg), they have been placed in a close‘
air—tightibox, without moisture of any
sort, and still they grow. Even when
pressed gandpacked away in a botan-
grow. Evergreen leaves sometimes
remain ‘on the tree for several years;
for instance, in the Scotch pine, three
or four years; the spruce and silver
fir, six or seven years; the "yew, eight; -

The Sorrel Took a motherly Gare of‘All
j the Other Horses. '
“On Sunday,” says the
(Kan.) Eclipse, ,“a. mover in' a prairie
schooner passedithrough this city, go-’
i118 West. He had a small drove‘ of
all loose,
following the wagon,- and among them
was a beautiful sorrel horse, with bri-
dle and saddle on, but no 'rider. Peo-
ple on the streets noticed that the sor-
rel seemed to be' overseeing the herd
and would round them up occasionally.
.As the caravan reached Central avenue
the sorrel ran ahead and stood in the
middle of the street, looking up and .
down, as if watching‘fordanger. Aft-
er satisfying himself that the way was
clear be rounded up the herd and the
caravan started again. Having reach-
‘ed the ‘Katy’ crossing, . the animal
again went ahead and, standing in. the
center of the tracks, looked intently
each way. When'the herd had par-
tially crossed the track he suddenly
pricked up his ears and, hurrying to
the rear, be rushed the herd across on
the run. A train was coming from the
south and passed shortly after 'he had
got safely over. He hurried to the next
track, which branches off several rods
from the .main line,'and seeing a train
coming from the opposite direction,
rounded up his herd and waited until
it passed. It was a most remarkable
performance, witnessed by a large
number of people on the streets. The
horse Was evidently a. high bred ani-
mal, built like a racer, with small cars
and very intelligent head. During all
this time the mover-did not get out of
his wagon, but left the management of

INVENTORS, TAKE NOTE.
Some Important Changes in Patent Laws
\Vhicll \Vent Into Efl‘ect Jan. lst.
Inventors are warned of the changes
in the patent law embodied in the
amendments which went into effect
Jan. 1‘, which may seriously affect
their rights. The new law inhibits
the patenting of any invention which
has been patented or described in any
printed publication in this Or any
other country more than two years
prior to 'the application. No patent
shall be valid by reason of. its having
first been patented in a foreign coun-
try. unlessthe said application was
filed more than sevenmonths prior to
the application in this country. Una
der. penalty of being regarded as aban-
doned, the application must be com-
pleted and prepared for examination.
within one yearfa‘fter the filing of said
application. An interference will not.
be declared between an original appli-
cation and arpatent iss’ued more than
two years prior to the date of filing
It should at the
same time be borne in mind that the
term of the United States patent will
not be shortened by the prior filling
orisslling of aforeign patent for the
same invénfioil. ' It is possible, there-‘
fore. for the American inventor now“:
to proceed with foreign applications
.without waiting for his United States
patent to be issued. '
