Men in the woman's Building.

Somebody had been calling the atten-
ton of the wife of the Maharajah of Ku-
purthala to objects of special interest at
jackson park. $50 thai is the Womans
building" she said as the great white
structure was pointed out TO her. DO
they allow men inside it's walls?"
The question is amusing in itself, and

cago and several points of interest in

to the young woman that she take the

cepting such generous offer. Miss
Norton said if she did not go some one
else would, so her offer was gladly ac-

And HE him forth to where he knows
There's soft and yielding sod;
And having dug the bait he needs,
Will take his fishing rod
And other things he wants for fish,
And go forth for to try

So he won't haye to lie.
1t don't take fish or fishermen,

The fishermen doth hump;
For Poplarville can take the cake

A FATEfUl METAL.

Whoever neglects to take note Of the
progress made in the working of alumni
ium is not capable of imagining the
progress the world will make during
the next century.
The progress already made in pro-
ducing aud utilizing this wonderful pro-
duct of science out Of the commonest
Of natures substances. gives assurance
that it is on the verge of n development
that will work startling revolution in
almost every line OF human activity.
Aluminium Is now produced rs cheaply
as brass, and, considering weight, at
fifty per cent. higher cost than copper.
IL is light, strong, ductile, lustrous,
non-corroding, beautiful to the eye,
inoffensive to the taste, can be beaten
out into thin foil or drawn out into iiue
wire
The metal is already being used for
many articles formerly made Of copper,
brass, iron, etc. The German army
uses il for stirrups, water bottles, cases
for scientific instruments, etc., and its
use for articles Of ornament Is very
extended.
The most important field that alumni.
ium will eventually take possession of
is In marine construction. Its use
would save two thirds Of the weight OF
