"Skilled motor-car driving Is one of the sights of London,” says Henry Paulman, of Chicago, to the correspondent of the Daily News. “Collisions here are few, while In Chicago they are many.

California Giants of the Forest Named for Grant and Sherman. The Sequoia and Genefal Grant National parks, the home of the big trees, are situated In Tulare and Fresno coun’les. Cal., and are celebrated mainly for the great groves of the big trees which are scattered through *hem. Sequoia National park, may be reached from Vi. alia, thenra by way of electric railway to L°mon cave, thence 40 mil s by stage or nrl.ata conveyance to Camp SUrra, In the park. General Grant National park can he best rcreh d fratn Sang- • r, thence by automobile, stage or private conveyance, a distnneo of IS i.Rles to the park. The streams and lakes in these parks afford splendid trout fishing, boating and bathing. The forests contain the largest, oldi st, tallest and most valuable trees In the world. Aside from the giant Sequuoia, there are other forests of pine, fir. cedar and many deciduous trees that are truly royal. There are many shrubs, wild flowers, ferns and mosses of superb beauty, while frolicking wild animals and beautiful song birds are another enjoyable feature of the parks. la four of the groves certain trees within them have been named, while In all other groves they have not. The General Sherman tree was discovered by James Wolverton, a hunter and trapper, on Aug. 7, 1879, at which time he named the tree in honor of General Sherman, under whom he served during the war. The General Grant free was named by Mrs. Lucretla P. Baker, who was a member of the party which camped near the tree In August. 1867. This tree has a height of 264 feet and a base diameter of 35 feet. .

BLAME THE DOCTOR. !t Was He Who Disturbed the Old Lady's Home. Drowsily the hotel manager turned In his bed. Whir-r, whlr-r! rang the telephone. Muttering som"thing very low, ho readied out for the receiver. “Send someone up to Room 77 at once,” came the voice of old Mrs. Moneybags. “I trust you ere not 111, madam?” he Inquired. “I soon shall be if something is not done!" replied the old lady. In excited tones. Hurriedly dressing, the manager went to Room 77. “Now, listen!” said the O. L., In wrathful key. “What is that noise overhead? It has been going on for the last two hours and has nearly driven me mad’” “I cannot understand It. mpdam,” answered the manager, listening curiously to the bumps and bangs overhead. "The gentleman in that room Is ill ” Quickly he ran upstairs and inquired the cause of th" disturbance. Tho occupier of the room was a Frenchman. “It ee S the m*dlc!ne, m'sirur,” he explained, on being questioned. "The doctor did say ‘Take two night running. then skip a night. M'sleur, pardon, but I was doing the skip.”

The Sailor’s Money. Arising out of the loss of the Titanic. several applications under the workmen’s compensation net were heard at Southampton (Knglaud) county court. It was stated that In three cases the widows of members of the Titanic's crew had married

again

In one rase Judge Gye said: “She ran have the money, but I shall communicate with the treasury. It seems to me unfair that the children should be deprived of all the compensation when the widow uses It for the purpose of getting married again Compensation was paid for the express reason that she was dependen on her husband She is not now.’”

A Butterfly's '‘Umbrella." Tie was only a butterfly, one of those beautiful, large, bluish-black ones that we so often see about the garden, but he knew enough to get in out of the wet. It was during one of the heavy showers that so frequently. In the hot days of midsummer, come suddenly upon us, driving every one to the Beap'st cover. To escape the downpour, which meant great injury, if nol dostruction, to so delicate a creatpre, he quickly flew to a nearby Balm of Gilead tree, where, alighting on the under side of a large leaf, he dug with wings, closely drawn together and hanging straight downward, using the big leaf as an umbrella to shield him from the great drops falling all round. High and dry, here he remained until the shower had passed, aud the blue •ky and warm sun called l\lm once again to his favorite haunts.—-ciL Nicholas.

GRAY HORSES WORST BALKERS.

CORK IN A BOTTLE. How to Prevent It From Being a Nuisance. It often happens that In attempting to uncork a bottle the stopper la forced into the bottle Instead, and It thus floats on the liquid. This would perhapa not be a drawback were It not that each time the bottle is to be emptied the cork comos to the neck and causes an obstruction, preventing the flow of the liquid. Thia can be prevented very readily, and all that Is needed Is to hend a piece of stiff Wire in a long ('shape, properly fitting It In the neck of the bottle so that the loop portion projects somewhat below the neck. Upon overturning the bottle the wire loop prevents the cork from rigichlng the neck to obstruct It.

Expert Says North Bound Horaw; Rarely Loiter. “A short while ago a horseman imparted some very interesting deductions of his own in regard to balky horses, says, a writer in New York Post. According to him. fully twothirds of the horses that balk are gray horseS. Just what afflnity there is between gray coloring matter and a predisposition to delay general traffic for *hnlf a day at a stretch is a question too deep for me. Perhaps some scientist can figure out the answer. "Another thing worth noting is that a horse traveling toward the north seldom balks. When going east, west or south he may, on occasions, suddenly take root in the pavement, but if northward bound there seems to be an Irresistible current that sweeps him along, no matter how strong his inclination to stop aud ruminate. Further more, according to my informant, a horse hitched singly is more apt to balk than when driven with a mate, and is also much harder to reduce to an amiable frame of mind. "It is strange, too. what a boundless respect most horses have for certain kinds of freight. Very seldom does a horse hitched to a milk wagon stop to think things over unless given permission to loiter. Bakers’ carts are likewise immune, and no Self-respecting horse ever thinks of going into a tantrum when drawing a load of flowers. The drivers of pickle wagons also give a good account of their teams, and nobody ever hoard of a candy wagon being held up by an unruly horse.”

OVER-BURDENED CABS.

Bottoms Dropped Out, to the Annoyance of Distinguished Men. One afternoon Signor Lablanchfl, the celebrated basso, a man of enormous proportions, on leaving Covent Garden theater, Loudon, after rehearsal found that his carriage had not arrived, so he went fo a fourwheeler. In to this, after a strenuous effort, ' he managed to squeeze his massive body, to find himself seated on tho edge of the smaller seat, a truly uncomfortable position which it waa imperative at once to change. As he struggled to his feet in his attempt to do so, the bottom of the vehicle gave way. and the artist found himself standing on the road. Help, however, was st hand, and he was released with no small difficulty from his ridiculous dilemma. A similar adventure befell the brothers Pope—one a doctor, the other the well known Q. C.—who botween them weighed over forty stone, when crossing Waterloo bridge in a four-wheeled cab. How It happened is uncertain, but about the center of the bridge the floor of the cab collapsed, and for the next 30 yards two pairs of sturdy legs, straining to keep pace with the horse’s mild amble, was a spectacle for unro strained public mirth. Cabby socn pulled up. and eager hands quickly extricated the obese and exhausted brothers.—London Tit-Bits.

THE LEGION OF HONOR. Foundid in 1902 by the First Napoleon as a Means of Rewarding Merit. The first decorations of the Legion of Honor, the famous French order of merit, were conferred In 1802 upon military and civil officers who had distinguished themselves under the consulate. The order was founded May 19, 1802, by Napoleon, when he was first consul. It consists of several grades, as grand crosses, grand officers, commanding officers and legionaries, and was a reward for services of merit. The order was confirmed by Louis XVIM, whoa the Bourbons were returned to the throne a century ago, and It has heen continued. with necessary changes in the constitution, through the reigns of Charles X. I-ouis Philippe, Napoleon HI. and the second and third republics. Many Americans and British subjects and other foreigners h^ve received the decorations of th« legion of Honor.

It la Natural to Man Yet la Largr.ly Baseless.. It is hopelesa to try to quiet human feara of the thunderstorms by atatl* tics showing that lightning kills (ewer persons than measles or motop cars. Llcbtenberg. the eighteenth century physicist, who was a satirist as well as a specialist on electricity, wrote In vain his article on "Koar of Lightning." At that moment thera was dysentery In Gottingen, and sla persons were said to have died—“more than twice as many in a few days as lightning has killed In our town in more than half a century, and yet th* public seem remarkably easy on the subject." How different It would be, Llcbtenberg reflected. "If the dysentery roEO above the horizon in th* form of a big black cloud, changing day Into twilight, and whenever it selected a victim exploded with a violent thund »rcap.”
