PURELY. AMERICAN; One Frenchman failed while another succeeded in crossing tho English Channel in an airship last month. This event had caused more talk than the feat of General Washington in crossing the Delaware that time, although the latter marked an epoch in history, while the former will serve only to divert attention for a while from Wanna Tomba and the Suffragettes. I don't wish to belittle 11. Bleriot's feat, for he certainly lias put it over all tho other aviators for a time. The Wright Brothers will have to make a fly over the Suds from New York to Queenstown, if they want to put that Frenchman in the shado. Women are rapily coming to the front, and, no doubt, there will De more women aviators than there will be skyboats to accommodate them. Women are filling all the trades now; excepting telegraph linemen, and I guess they wouldn't caro for that. There i 6 one thing to the front now, and that is Pruitettes. They are just delicious, and quite the newest thing in table delicacies. A. Murdoch and Co., the manufacturers of Wellington, Dunedin, and Auckland, consider Fruitettes the finest line they havo yet manufactured. Ask your grocer about them, and if he is a live man, he is selling, them like hot cakes now.— -Adit.
