Ladies, let me call your attention to it. The baccarat scandal, which may result ultimately in the downfall of the British monarchy, was proclaimed to the world through a woman. Why will graduating girls persist in wearing gloves at their commencements, tight gloves that make their arms and fingers stiff as sticks, when their own slim, pretty hands aro infinitely more graceful and artistic? When Decoration Day was first estab lished in this country nobody would have thought a woman could the address at the meetings commemorative of the occasion. But on May 30 a woman de livered the Decoration Day address a,t no less imposing a place than Tremont Temple, Boston. To be sure, it was Mrs. Livermore who was thus chosen, but then Mrs. (Livermore is a woman all the same. She also delivered the annual address to the Chawteuqua graduating class this year. When, in the old time, was a woman thought good enough to make an address to a graduating class? The technical high school of the Pratt institute in Brooklyn this year graduated for the first time a young lady who had passed through its courso of study. The high school combines manual train ing with book study, and was the out come of the favorite idea of the founder of tho institute, the late Charles Pratt, the Standard oil king. Besides a scien tific and literary training, the young lady, Belle Spelman, had learned to use her hands in wood carving and other remunerative occupations. It is a pleas ure to record that she carried off the honors of the evening, this strong, en thusiastic girl, who for three years had bravely recited side by side with the boys and learned the Sime lessons they did. Her graduating essay was on “Wo man as a Factor in Industry,” and was an eloquent plea for a woman’s right to make the most of her abilities. The only aroma of the past that still clung about Miss Spelman’s graduation was that she held her essay in her hand and pretended to read it, instead of looking at her audience face to face Mid speak ing the words bravely, using her hands to emphasize them as tho boys did. It was all a sham liar pretending to read as one could see, and she merely glanced at the paper from time to time in a hum bugging little way. I suppose she had been directed to do that as concession to the still lingering mediteva! ^lea that it is not quite proper for a wdinah to speak in public, or if one does speak that it is a credit to her to mumble in such a lady like manner that she cannot bo heard six feet away. But I wonder if the time will ever come when there will cease to be little shams and humbugs in wetnan's appearance before the world. The women who tell other w^mpn what tp buy for “outing wear” are mostly the ones who never feet an outing themselves. The girls, and not only tho girls, but middle aged women, aro now riding bi cycles. A magnificent Philadelphia woman who owns to being sixty years old gets up at 5 o'clock to take her morn ing rides. So shall she still keep young. Her husband encourages her, dnd even rides with her. Would that all hus bands of sixty were liko him! /h /üÜLíC In His Pocket. Jeremiah Mason, the celebrated lawyer, possessed to a marked degree the instinct for the weak point. Jle was once cross examining a witness who had previously testified to having heard Mr. Mason’s client make a certain statement, and it was upon the evidence of that statement that the adversaries case was based. Several questions were asked by Mr. Ma son, all of which the witness answered with more or less hesitation. Then he was asked to repeat once more the statement he had heard made. Without hesitation he gave it, word for word, as he had given it in the direct examination. A third time Mr. Mason led the witness around to this statement, and again it was repeated verbatim. Then, without warning, he w alked to the witness stand and, pointing straight at the witness, said in his high, nasal, perfectly unimpassioned voice: “Let’s see that paper you’ve got in your waistcoat pocket.” Taken completely by surprise, the wit ness mechanically took a paper from the pocket indicated and handed it to Mr. Mason. There was profound stillness in the court room as the lawyer slowly read, in his cold, calm voice, the exact words of the witness in regard to tke statement and called at tention to the fact that they were in the handwriting of the lawyer on the other side, lie then gathered up his papers with great deliberation, remarked that “there seemed to be no further need of his serv ices,” and left the court room. “Mr. Mason, how under the sun did you know that paper was there?” asked a brother lawyer. “Well,” replied Mr. Mason, “I thought he gave that part of his testimony more as if he’d learned it than as if he’d heerd it, and I noticed every time he repeated it he put his hand to his waistcoat pocket, and then let it fall again when begot through.” It was a simple explanation, but a very shrewd conclusion.—Youth’s Companion. Drum Language of the Cameroons. Perhaps nothing more remarkable has been the subject of recent investigation than the “drum language” of the natives of the Camcroons, on the West African coast. By means of this wonderful sys tem of transmitting sounds the most com plicated messages can be conveyed to vil lages in the most distant parts. In prac tising this unique system of sound language a peculiarly shaped drum is used. By di viding the surface of the drum head into uneven portions, the instrument, upon be ing struck, may be made to yield two dis tinct notes. By these, and shortening or lengthening the intervals between each note, a code is established with a regular sequence of taps, strokes and intervals capable of expressing every syllable in their primitive language. All of the natives understand this code, and so elaborate is it that a chief cau by its means summon to his presence any villager whom he desires to see, intimating to the latter at the same time the purpose for which his presence is required. In this way, too, messages can be sent from vil lage to village over wide stretches of coun try, the drummer in one hamlet transmit ting to the next the signals he hears, and that with the most extraordinary rapidity. —St. Louis Republic. A Baby That Has Plenty of Shoes. Few babies can boast of possessing such a stock of shoes as the infant daughter of Prince Paul of Russia and grandniece of the Princess of Wales.

Velvet and tulle will be ene of the daring combinations for evening for late fall.

ODDS AND ENDS. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Never a made up tie under any consider ation with the neglige shirt. New York, Paris and Berlin altogether have not so large an area as London. California has 2,675 giant trees still left, and of theso the largest is 33 feet in di ameter. No fewer than 9,000 works were rejected this year by the hanging committee of the Royal Academy. The copper wire used in outside dectrical work is so comparatively valuable that fre quent cases of robbery have occurred. F. M. Grover, who was elected to the office of magistrate at Topeka, Kan., has been totally sightless for over thirty years. One of the peculiar customs of the East Indian coolies called Lascars, is the put ting of a ring on the great toe when they marry. Asthma may be greatly relieved by soak ing blotting or tissue paper in strong salt-1 peter water; dry it, then burn it at night in the sleeping room. Oil hardened steel, while improving the ! quality of the metal, is said by experts to increase the danger of rupture in cases in which the least flaw exists. “Who goeth a borrowing goeth asorrow- ing” was doubtless true in the good old times, but nowadays it is the lender who does the mournful perambulation. The governor of a penitentiary in the far west has a pack of cards which was made by one of ^ie convicts out of the beef bones collected from the convicts’ soup and split to a delieate thinness. The pips are scratched with a pin, and arc quite artisti cally executed. When the time of the con vict card manufacturer was up he presented the cards to the governor.—London Tit- Bits. A Safety Lamp for Mines. A new safety lamp for mines—a rectan gular box of ebonite containing accumula tors of the Pollak system, and resting on a metal plate—is described in a London journal, with the statement that, with the mode experimented with and weighing some 1,800 grams, a perfectly constant light of 0.7 to 0.8 candle power was given forth for twelve hours. In this device an ebonite lid senes as support for a glow lampdnclosed in a cylinder of thick glass, tho whole covered with a metal top fixed closely by meaflB of pins, the junction be ing made hermetic by a leaf pf soft caout chouc introduced between the top and the box. Into the lid arc inserted rods of an inoxi- dizable metal, which pass through it, and supportat their bases contacts of platinum, these meeting t he platinum contacts of .e accumulators, and having at their sum mits springs, one of which is in metallic connection vrith a foot of the lamp; the other foot of the lamp is insulated aud can be brought in contact with a pole of the accumulator by means of a needle intro duced into a horizontal channel made in the lid. As the contacts are in the interior of the box and the lid, neither the opening nor the closing of the current can cause an ex plosion, hence the lamp can be either ig nited or extinguished in an inflammable atmosphere. Again, the advantage pre sents itself that, if the system or arrange ment is dismounted, or if the glass globe of the glow lamp is broken, the lamp is ex tinguished. and South About Breathing. “Our young people do not know how to breathe,” said an old doctor to an anxious mother whose daughter, a young girl of seventeen, had had for some time a severe cold that had slightly affected the upper air passages of her lungs. “When the child inflates her lungs as I direct her you can hear the crackling of all the disused air cells that for the first time have been brought into play. You see,” he went on, “the tendency of all persons is to use only the upper portions of the lungs. It is only after the fatigue and exertion consequent on unusual exercise that the lower part is utilized at all. And just as people can live for years w’ith only ono sound lung, so can every one use only the upper portion and feel well enough at the time. “Girls, therefore, draw their corset strings and say it doesn’t hurt in the least to wear their strings a little Light, and ap parently they are right. They play tennis and ride and row, and even swim in their well-pulled-in stays; but let illness attend them, let tham need all their lung power to provide pure blood or breathing room to resist disease, or let the care» of maternity come upon them, then they may regret that they willfully sinned againstmature. “But many err, too, simply through lazi ness, a lack of knowledge or through bad habits of partial breathing contracted in youth; but, be that as it may, not one per son in ten, or even twenty, knows how to breathe. If I had my way I shoukl teach breathing in every school of the country. Here is an exercise I want your daughter to practice night and morning, and soex- cellent are its effects that I have known it even to cure insipient consumption. “While you count fifteen slowly, let her take a long breath, so that she can feel it inflating all the air cells of the lower part of her lungs. When you reach fifteen let her begin slowly to expel the air from her lungs and keep on until another fifteen are counted. A few times will tire her very much at first, and bring on fits of coughing; but let her persevere and she will soon be able to do it ten or twelve times at each exercise. And I think.I can promise you material benefit. ’’—New York Tribune. — VIA— Southern Pacific Route SHASTA LINE. for Infants and Children Roseburg Mail Daily. “Castorta is so well adapted tochildrcn that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me."

DUG THE YAQUINA ROUTE. cumss HEADACHE It was in the year of 1776 that Lafayrtte, not yet nineteen years old, at a dinner party at Metz, where he was stationed with his regiment, heard that the American colonies had declared their independence. The dinner at which he was present was given by the commandant of the garrison of the Duke of Gloucester, a brother of the King of England. Young Lafayette had heard much before of the cause of the difficulty between Eng land and her colonies and he had made up his mind they had been badly treated. His youthful imagination took fire at this new land, separated from the Old World by 3,000 miles of ocean, and which to him was invested by its distance with a halo of ro mance, and his generous nature impelled him to take sides with those he thought oppressed. Before he left the table he resolved to draw his sword in the cause of American independence. He acted upon tills resolu tion at once. Going immediately to Paris he sought an interview with the American commissioners Franklin, Deane and Ar thur Lee, and told them of his intestions of going to America. These patriots sadly informed him that Washington was retreating through New Jersey from the British, and that this of fered aid from France, though kindly and nobly meant, might very likely arrive too late. Besides, Lafayette’s family and pow erful friends in the government did all they could to thwart his purpose, but the young hero was determined. The opposi tion delayed him, but it did not stop him. —New York World. ANY While You Waif,” BUT CURES NOTHING ELSE. IFWITT RRÍ1Q pLvViH DnUUi ALWAYS KEEP ON HAND A COMPLETE LINE OF T. ZZ.

The introduction of the style of riding on horseback side saddle is attributed to Anna of Bohemia, consort of Richard IL She it was, according to Stowe, who originally showed the women of England how .grace fully and conveniently they might ride on horseback sideways. Another historian, enumerating the new fashions of Richard Il’s reign, observes: “Likewise noble ladles then used high heads, and corsets and robes with long trains, and seats on side saddles on tAeir horses, by the example of the respectable Queen Anna, daughter of the king of Bo hemia, who first introduced the c®tom into the kingdom; for before women of every rank rode as men.” Stothard, in his beautiful illustrative picture of Chaucer’s “Canterbury Pil grims,” appears, according to the above quoted authorities, to have committed an anachronism in placing the most conspicu ous female character of his fine composi tion sideways on her steed. That the lady ought to have been depicted riding the male fashion might have been inferred, without any historical research on the sub ject, from tho poet’s describing her as hav ing on her feet “a pair of spurres aharpe.’ —Detroit Free Press.

It is the belief among both, the ignorant and the educated classes of China that eclipses of the sun are caused by a great dragon which attempts to devour the cen ter of our solar system. An eclipse which was visible in the Celestial empire occurred at a time when the people were celebrating the birthday of the emperor. Now, it is the custom to celebrate such an event clad in the best raiment that can be afforded; it is also customary to wear sackcloth and go Into mourning at the time of an eclipse, at least until the sun has been rescued from the great dragon which seeks to de vour it. Here, indeed, was a dfleama. At last the emperor was petitioned. He be ing as superstitious as his people, ordered his birthday ignored and commanded the people to go into mourning until the sun shall be “rescued.”—St. Louis Repablic. Di II 9.

In Rome wills wfcre unknown before tho enaction of the laws of the twelve tables, and subsequently no one but a Roman citi zen was competent to make a will, or wit ness it, or inherit under it. Sometimes the Roman testator wrote tbe whole of his will with his own hand, and it was then called “bolographum,” but generally a lawyer was employed to draw it up. Who ever wrote another’s will, whether he were lawyer or not, was forbidden to write down any legacy for himself, and the entire in strument was only iegal if written in Latin. A bequest conveyed in Greek, for instance, would be invalid. A Roman might disin-1 herit any or all of his children and appoint whomsoever he pleased to I jb his heir.—All the Year Round.
