We have bad a week full of opera, drama, vaudeville and receptions, but the and moat greatest unique treat waa ours yesterday. Saturday afternoon Mr. F. A. Bridgman ia at home at his atelier. Grasping the opportunity afforded us by an invitation, we were not slow in donning our new French gowns. English hats and our best American shoes and railing a cab. We were soon deposited at. the doorstep of ibis famous artist's atelier. A model dressed in oriental costume opened the door, took our cards and ushered us Into a large room filled with curios ; Artist to triS Ilia Model Homs.

The Importance of enabling small detachments of troops to cross rivers Irrespective of exisiing bridges or ferries led Lieut. Czerny of the Austrian army to the Invention of a light boat, which may be constructed anywhere from young saplings or branches of willow with the aid of the ordinary tent eanvaa carried by the military for use when camping. The boats thus constructed ere exceedingly light and perfectly available and practical In military operations. The construction is of the simplest, and after short practice two carpenters of Lleul. Czerny's company succeeded In building a float of three of the little boats inside of forty minutes. Strong aaplings are cut to the right-lengtand are tied together with strong cords Into frames corresponding to the size of the tent canvas. Three saplings are bent to give the boat the necessary shape at the The bow, stern and in the center. framework of this boat only weighs about six pounds. It is placed upon the canvas, which la then taken up and laced tightly over the frame, when the boat will be ready for use. Wherever It can be obtained it la practicable to place a board at the bottom of the boat for greater rigidity. Three of these Improvised boats fastened together with cross poles will carry across a river two men with their full equipment of baggage, or three men without the baggage. For reconnoitring purposes, for the transmission of dispatches and other military dutlea this means of transportation will be of enormous value. well-fllle- Making FhnuiM, The making of phraaea has frequently been the sole distinction of many a prince Perhaps the moat remarkable phrase uttered by a modern sovereign waa spoken by King Humbert of Italy a few years ago, when cholera was raging In Naples.

In common with a great many other women not brought up to work, I had a vague sort of Idea that my misfortunes were a passport and would gain me an lucoine, says a writer In Llppincotts. Let me assure every woman similarly placed that they never will. Sympathy la readily awakened, but It is In the nature of things shortlived.

It was the dedication of the Salvation Army convict farm. This Institution, which has already been fully described. Is the only one of its kind In existence. It opens up to the released convict a channel whereby, outside of city Influences and surrounded by every Inducement to reform, he may escape from the fate of the confirmed Jailbird and become an honeet member of the community. By persistent labor since .the farm was deeded to them by George 8. Montgomery, the Salvationists have been able to gather together material enough with which to stock It. Several horses, a large quantity of seed wheat and oats, wagons and a number of fdrming Implements have all been placed on the farm within the last few weeks, and nothing remained to be done but to dedicate the place and begin the work of collecting the to take charge of it. A large number of members of the Salvation Army, Including Brigadier and Mrs. Keppel. MaJ. Milsaps. Stall Captain and Mrs. Wood, Adjt. and Mrs. MeFee, Adjt. Reed and Ensigns Butler, Louis Fong Sek and Thompson left this city early In the morning for the farm. They had a brass band with them and were accompanied by a large number of friends of their organization. Several hundred Salvationists and others from all points In the Pacheco valley were there to greet them when they arrived, and no time was lost in beginning the services. Members of the Army In Contra Costa county had provided a dinner for the visitors, and nearly 400 people sat d down to the tables. When the feast was over Brig. Keppel, who has charge of the Army work on the Pacific coast, made a brief statement of the reasons why the farm had been established, and showed in a characteristic manner how necessary such an institution was. In concluding his remarks he said: Think of it, friends. The convict, having served his term, leaves the jail. They give him a suit of clothes and 95 and bark he goes into the whirlpool of city life. Being a convict, he can get no work, his $5 Is gone In a few days, and what Is there left for him to do? He must either steal or starve, and there are the police and defectives watching him at every moment. It Is easy to see the result. Necessity drives him to another crime and in a little while the prison walls open once more to receive him. The Salvation Army, with Gods help, Is going to stop all this. We are going to take that man fresh from his cell and get him away from temptation. We are going to say to him: Brother, here Is a farm. Live on it as long as you like and while you are tasting the sweets of liberty our Army will And men and noble enough to give you other employment and help you up.' We are going to help this man to help himself. With the hope that we will be successful in this endeavor and In the knowledge that God Is with us and that Ills blessing Is on us all I now dedicate this farm to His service and in His name. Then the large body or Salvationists broke Into a loud and swelling chorus, singing A Way Out of Sin, their voices echoing all through the beautiful valley and dying away in the hills. Over In San Quentin, where they have a Salvation Army corps, the convict soldiers knew what was going on outside and held a song service and prayed for the success of the farm. Kona as WHITNEYS NEW HOME. It Cost Million Dollars and Ranks with tlie liest. William C. Whitney and his bride have a new nillllon-dolla- r mansion, and they will occupy it as soon as they move into town from their beautiful country house at Hempstead. L. I. Mr. Whitney's old homestead waa at street and Fifth avenue. This will be occupied henceforth by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Payne Whitney. The new mansion la at Fifth avenue aud Sixty-eight- h street. Mr. Whitney purchased it recently from A. I Barber, who bought it five years ago from R. L. Stuart's estate for 8562.O0O. The house has been largely altered and Improved, nnd realty In the neighborhood has enhanced very much in value in the last few years. How much Mr. Whitney paid Mr. Barber is not known definitely, hut the purcahso price with the Improvements will probably exceed 8V OOfi.OOO. The has had his own good taste for hia guide in the rebut the puirhnse price with the divisions of the first floor are a great pirture gallery running tbe entire width of the house at the bark; a great hallway that extends from the plrture gallery to the front door; a superb In proportion and decorations, In which there Is ample accommodation for sixty persons, and to which a huge bay window lets In a flood of light; a great drawing-rooand a noble library. When the folding doors between the three rooms are thrown open there ia an unbroken space that will furnish room for the largest assemblage of persons ever gathered together In a private house. Opposite the library is another room from which a fine staircase ascends to the family apartment upstairs. The house is const) ucted of brown stone and and la five stories high.
