as one OF the leading coat. cloak and suit

said that fashionable women have greater

IN winter costumes on account of their
having to secure comfort by muffiing up

old, old free trade idea that the people
Of tho United States ought ali to be
farmers, or us nearly all US possible.
Because IL manufacturers havo
increased therefore the farmers
arc harmed! This is rank idiocy.
If MIR. Neal will go back to
the beginning of the century he will
find ~ period when the people were
nearly all farmers and very few manu-
f%acturcrs. That was the period of ma
tional poverty. Then VIC imported tho
bulk of our merchandise. Now VIC
make IL own goods, not only for homo
consumption but for expert, and give
employment to millions who otherwise
would have to crowd the farmers for a
livelihood. Instead of rivaling and
competing with the farmer these mil
lions employed in other avccaticns are
consumers of farm products and cus-
toners of tho farmer. If MI. Neal
thinks he can gull the farmers of Ohio
with his chcstnutty game of percent
ages" he has q very low opinion indeed
of the Buckeye %agricolist. Mr.. Neal is
destined to be u wonderfully disap-
pointed man.-Burlington Hawkeye.

The monument will lie one of the

opposite the old IIuhenZoilern Palace
in Berlin. Tho monument will be
nearly 20 feet in height, the pedestal

are to be supported by four figures OF

suitable inscription. above which will
be the imperial insignia of the Order
of the Black Eagle upon the pedestal.
The venerable Emperor, William l.
will be represented riding in iull
military dress, his horses bride he
ing held by an heroic figure.
Thus will he arranged the central
portion of the monument. But the
general view will be very different,
for almost surrounding the statue

the sides behind the statue longer

each end of the colonnadc is through
an arrhway surmounted by a warrior
driving a chariot with four horses,
while emblematic figures at intervals
relieve the monotony of the top part
of the colonnade. The statues in the

fighting ground of former days.
Once the tents made of wattles, with
patchwork quilts or blankets or old
p%etticoats spread over shem, held

on mounds of clay. The benches.
too, rested ON the same uncertain
foundation and when the young Irish
men grew unsteady the bench sent
them all down to the floor. Out on
the green there was fighting and,
sports and at night the fddles played
jigs for the jolly young people. 1t
appears from the accounts given by
the strangers who visited D%onnybrook
almost a hundred years ago that
there was good reason for the world
wide meaning given to the mere ex-
preston Donnybrook Fair" But
its glories have departed and it is
many a long day since the cheerful

Career of a Famous Detective.

Nidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1875. He began
life as a baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his
athletic frame and violent DISPOSE
tion. At the same time he was u
notorious thief, and after many dis.
graceful adventures he enlisted in the
army. In 1896 he returned to Paris
with some money, which, however,
he 0 sQuandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eightyears' hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly es-
capped, and in 1903 he became con-
nected with the Paris Police as a
detective. His previous career en-
abled him to render important
services. and he was appointed chief
of the safety brigade, chiefly COM
posed of reprieved %convicts. which
purged Paris of the many dangerous
classes. In 1918 he received a full
pardon, and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928, when
he settled at St. Mande as a paper
manufacturer. Soon after the revo-
luton of 1880 he became a political
detective, but with little success. In
lS48 he was again employed under
the republican government, but he
died penniless in 1S57.-Commercial

In Louisville, KY, recently three
girls were strolling about smoking
cigarettes. A policeman, arrested
the three girls on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. Judge Buckley,
said: "While the accused were not
acting in accordance with the estab-
lished canons Of society, 1 cannot
see that they were violating any law.
Their attorney said: "Of course not,
especially as they paid for the
cigarettes. This is an age of prog
ress. and the young ladies were sim
ply blazing the way" The Judge
dismissed the case. 1t is greatly to
be hoped that the s'way'' these Louis
vile girls were .blazing" will not be
followed by girls generally. 1t is bad
enough that their fathers and
brothers already make the smoke
nuisance well-nigh universal.

THREE %frightful disa tiers on the

why l,ish Have White Bo,,ic..

There is no phenomenon of. nnture

in order to determine whether tho
whitencss of the under sides u those
ash is due to the exclusion OF light,
snd the presence of color o. their
upper sides to exposure to ligt:s.
They have kept the fish expert
mented upon living in Il glass tank
having u mirror placed beneath, 50
as to reflect light upon the under
sides of the fish.
One of these prisoners has sur
vivcd for three years under condi-
lions so strangely different from its
ordinary habits Of life. and all of
them have exhibited the development
of spots of pigment ON Their lower
surfaces.
The eXpcrimcnters have concluded
that it is exposure to light that
causes the c~oloration of the upper
paris of the bodies not only of
founders but of other fish, aud con
vcssely. that it is to the comparative
absence of light that the whitcncss
OF the under sides of fish is due.

The Woman Who Has Tact.

There is nothing that carries a
woman so far toward the goal Of So
cial success as tact. She may net
possess those qualities necessary for
leadership, but she will have no diff
ticulty in securing SO firm a foothold
that she need have no dread of Il
greater power dawning upon the so.
cial horizon. The reason for this is
that in reality tact is but another
word for goodness of heart, and in
nate Kindness to all must be the key
stone that the woman of the world
builds the castles of her ambition
upon.
The tactful woman always says and
does the right thing at the right
time. She never wounds by these
gaucheries which all unintentionally,
yet nevertheless painfully, remind us
of things we had rather have forgot-
ten, or tells us unpleasant truths
that are no less bitter because We
know that there is no denying them.
Tact passes over every faux pas
and somehow manages to convert
them into something pleasant before
the embarrassed perpetrator has a
chance to raise a blush at his own
awkwardness. All graces of mind
and body seem embodied in that one
word, for a woman may be painfully
plain, yet with this virtue che he
comes radiantly lovely in the eyes of
those whom her consummate art has
rescued from some dire strait. She
may be poor, but to those about her
the richness of her nature atoncs for
the lack OF worldly wealth. Her
gowns may be dowdy, but as she
dwells among US she appears to be
clothed in garments of radiant light,
and it would be a blave spirit indeed
that dared to cavil at the makeup of
a woman whose gracious presence and
tactful spirit had spared them many
a period of embarrassment. Above
all virtues cultivate tact, for in it lies
the secret of all others.
