What q B|igd Woman Says:
Mrs. MARY E. LEASE

Was asked, "Do you read advertisements" This
her reply:
ayes, in reading ads is obtained knowledge,
Obtanable never in school or college;
You keep in advance of humanitys throng
And feast on the best as you journey along"
You may not agree with Mrs Lease in everything but
you must confess that her political views half clear
her ideas Of advertising she knows about politics than
nine out of ten with the ballot.
Do you men and women who read the ads ever stOpto

ments of up date houses you could often save days
wages by purchasing single article? Did ever occur to

The Weight of Compact Bodies.

The load which is produced by a
dense crowd of persons is generally
taken at eighty to 100 pounds per
square foot and is considered to be the
greatest uniformly distributed load for
which floor need be proportioned.
That this value may be largely ex-
ceeded i'll an actual crowd was pointed
out by Professor w. @. Kernot, of
Melbourne University, Australia, in a
recent paper before the Victorian In
stitute If Engineers, copied into En-
gineer News. In an actual trial, class
of students averaging 1885 pounds
each in weight were crowded in lobby
containing 1928 square feet, making
an average floor load of 134.7 pounds.
There was still room to have placed
another man, which would have
brought up the loading to 143.
pounds per square foot. Professor
Kernot also quoted from Stoney, who
placed fifty-eight laborers, averaging
l45 pounds eachi in weight, in an empty
ship deck-house measuring fifty-seyen
square feet floor area. This was load
of 147.4 pounds per square foot. In
another test, with seventy-three labor
ers crowded into hut nine feet by
eight feet eight inches, Stoney pro-
duced load of l42 pounds per square
foot and estimated that two or three
more men could have been squeezed in.
1t appears from these experimental that
while the figures ordinarily assumed of
eighty to 100 pounds are sufficiently
correct for spaces ON which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds, larger figures, say l40 to $50
pounds per square foot, should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en-
frances and exits to places ofpublic AS
semblies or office buildings, bridge side
walks, pavements over vaults and other
places where dense crowds are likely
to gather.

At a meeting of the international
Hotel Employees Association in New
York City the other day it came out
that the walters of the metropolis have
invented new name to describe the
man who regularly omits to give tips to
expectant walters. 1t is "Miff" The
name is not applied to the man who
once in while fails to find his vest
pocket when the winter hands him his
hat and inquiries how he was pleased
with his dinner, but when that failure
becomes chronic his name is handed
around from one waiter to another as
Milf, and when he comes into the es-
tablishment, it is dollars to doughnuts
thathe finds them all too busy to have
time to attend to his wants.

Many villages in all parts of the
United States have taken the names of
the roadside inns about which they
have grown up, but it is perhaps only
in conservative Southern Virginia, re-
marks the New York Sun, that the
''ordinaries" for entertainment of man
and beast have given names to villages
There is jennings Ordinary in Motto
way County, Smoky Ordinary in
Brunswick County, and doubtless many
others in the same region. 1t is here,
too, that local maps immortalize the
shopkeepers, the 'millers and the black
smiths of an earlier generation. Oddly
enough, one looks almost in vain for
names growing out of the bloody
struggle from 81 to '65.

The dedication of the Norman Tenn
pie at Salt Lake City took place under
far different conditions than were ever
imagined by those who laid the founda-
tions, soliloquizes the San Francisco
Chronicle. Polygamy is now prescribed
by rigid laws, and though the spirit of
the laws is violated by many Mormans,
still the fear of imprisonment has done
much to check one of the worst fea-
lures of the system. The younger men
among the Mormans claim that they
have discarded polygamy and that it no
longer plays an important part in their
religion

The German universities are the
most cosmopolitan institutions in the
world. They draw students literally
from every cultured land and climate.
OF the 1913 students matriculated at

ers. OF these 403 are Russians, 294

Life tables have been compiled from
the mortality returns of various periods
of time showing that at birth the ex.
pectation of life covers more years in
the case of the female than in that of
the male. These tables also show that
at succeeding ages the female lead is
maintained. But tabulation has Just
been made that will interest others
than scientists, statisticians and life in
surance agents, and which, though the
data are not very extensive, goes to
confirm the results reached in the So
called standard life tables A leading
journal has compiled all the cases of
notable longevity recorded in its own
columns during the year 1892. OF 1151
octogenarians GAG are women and only
sos are men. Above eighty at nearly
all ages the returns continue to favor
the women; and of six centenarians all
but one are women. This does not
prove that women are happier than
men, but it is a good indication that as
a rule they live longer. And though
the most reasonable presumption is
that this is because they enjoy an
easier life than men, the average
woman will doubtless continue to wish
that she had been born man.

A sort of mythology has grown up
about the American Indian in regions
whence he vanished 100 years ago.
The popular names of many plants iu-
clude the adjective Indian. Few per-
sons in America say Indian corn now,
but Indian cakes is term still strongly
intrenched south of Mason and Dixon's
line, and there is even II plant known
TO children as Indian tobacco. The
brilliant Gamma is called Indian shot be-
cause its seeds are black, bullet-like
pellets Indian traditions are pre-
served with sort of reverence in the
South. Twenty-Five years ago local
travellers on a certain road in Worces-
ter County, Maryland, commonly
stopped at a point in the remote coun-
try, reached under bush at the road
side, drew forth stone mortar and
pestle used by the Indians 100 years
before, showed the relics to any
stranger in the company and carefully
put them back. A whole neighbor-
hood knew the whereabouts of these in
struments, but they seemed as safe as
in a museum,

Along HES pathway back TO the skies,

But only watches with mute surprise
The wonders passing before his eyes,
A smile in his scepter, HIS mandate sighs
And weakness is ever the power that wins
In that beautiful land where the world be.

To EbOnize Wood.

The simplest way to ebonize wood is
as follows: Take one-quarter pound Of
logwood chips and boil them in one
pint of water for about an hour while
still hot brush this solution over the
carving. When the latter is dry, give
another coat of the hot liquid When
this second coat is quite dry, coat with
a solution of one-half ounce green cop
peras dissolved in one pint of hot water.
This will give really good black, and
wood so ebonized can be sized or pol
lshed OF oiled as required, New York
