The Herreshofs, the famous yacht
builders Of Bristol, r. l., were recently
duped by very smooth young fellow who
posed as New York millionaire, but
who in reality was not worth cent. He
gave an order for a magnificent steam
yacht to cost Sl50,OO0, and the firm
worked on the order until the first pay
ment became due. When the payment
was not made an investigation was begun,
which showed that the fellow was not
only penniless, but a thief, and he has
since been locked up for stealing a watch
A Texas murderer, who wantonly killed
four women, has beer sentenced to ninety

The suggestion made in a recent issue
of the MORNING News, that the boys be
required to use the park extension for
their bonfres and miscellaneous games
and fireworks, if they must have public
playground in the city limits, is worthy of
consideration. The extension is certainly
large enough to accommodate all the BOYS
who care to indulge in such pastimes
without crowding each other, annoying
anybody or damaging public property.
At any rate, something should be done in
the interests of the squares. 1t is folly to
spend time and money upon them at one
season of the year and then turn them
over to be torn up at another season.
1t is remarkable how greatly the num-
Der of beggars to be seen on the streets
has increased during the past few weeks.
Saturday night there was hardly a block
in the central portion of the city on
which there were not one or
more beggars. A great many of
them-probably nine in every ten
were frauds of the first water and
were begging because that was easier to
do than TO work. Some of them were not
only impudent, but threatening in their de-

loose so as to wrap about one and throw
over the shoulder. Item: One fez. with

The Women OF Australia.
Though pretty, tall and well formed,
the Australian is not graceful Her
feet are seldom small, her hands rare
ly beautiful. Moreover, she does not
dress well. Her toilette has none OF
the chic of the Parisienne's, little of the
sobriety Of the Englishwoman's. Over
dressed or dowdy, she produces the i'm
preston Of not only having little tasto
but no artistic sense of the fitness OF
things. Stylish and elegant women
are to be seen more frequently in Mel
bourne than elsewhere. Nevertheless,
dress in dear to the soul of an Aus
tralian, and much is spent on it. Down
in the lowest social gra des it plays an
important part. The Australian hugs
the idea of equality, and, believing in
uniformity of dress as the visable sign
| Of equality, often sacrifices actual CON-
fort to obtain fashionable clothing. An
Australian family makes brave show
on holidays. There may be bare feet
and rags in the house, but there are
cheap feathers and gloves in the street

A WoMAN's RESPONSIBILITY
The Study Of Household Science as Help
to Proper Management.

W ITOpcE mhuakcAucht'
It is woman's province to control and
manage the household. Whether shs
does it wisely or unwisely rests with
herself. No one else can s'psolutely
fill her place. She shouli. therefore,
study the phases of home affairs with
the same application'and assiduity that
she would give to a difficult problem,
which may require weeks, months, even
years, to work out, but which in the
end must be solved.
A man enters the arena Of business
with the full purpose Of being master
of whatever he undertakes He knows
that he must succeed. Reputation, So
cial position, comfort, progress, the
happiness of his family, even life itself,
may depend upon his efforts If wom-
an would feel the same responsibility
in regard to her home-that she must
succeed in making it a peaceable,
health-giving, moral-giying sSode, and
would never waver until she had ac-
complished tive should reach a
state Of advancement in the I'M
derstanding of life which, ex-
cept among some in the cultured
classes, is not general to-day. l do
not maintain that the study of house
hold science will enable woman to do
all this, but such study will help
greatly, perhaps more than anything
else, toward that end. 1t is one of the
important factors in that result, and
if for no other reason than that it will
make life for women in the perform
ance of their household duties pleas
anter, more satisfactory, sweeter,
easier, it is more than worth trying.
To work in the dark is ever perplex-
ing; to work in the light of intelligent
understanding is one form of happi-
ness.
The study Of HOUSEHOLD science, taken
in its full and broad sense, leads into
bOundless fields of research. The
phenomenon of heat, the currents OF
the air, the life and chemical nature Of
the products of the earth, the mysteri-
GUS and complex processes of nutri-
ton, fall almost without mention into
such work; the sciences of chemistry,
physiology, and bacteriology are its
foundation stones; in fact, whatever
bears upon the physical life of man is
included in it.-Miss NJ. A. Boland, in
Popular Science Monthly.

The -,lar of DIonysius."

A cunningly constructed prison
cavern, consisting of a large chamber
connected with one of smaller dinen-
sions, situated near Syracuse, Italy,
has gone into legendary history with
the title Of the Ear of Dionysius "
The smaller chamber was unknown to
the prisoners kept in this underground
dungeon, and the tyrant by whose
name it Is known had a habit
of secreting himself there to
listen to the conversation of the con.
victs, who were mostly political Of
tenders An ingenious device con-
structed at the smaller end of the
larger chamber transmitted the sounds
through the partition, thus enabling
the suspicious ruler. to hear even the
whispered conversations OF his "sus-
poets. IN. Y. Sun. .eI Ee- - =.
