Two more cables are being laid
across the Atlantic. There are at
present ten cables connecting the old
with the new world. but 80 rapidly
has the cable business grown that
they are inadequate to handle 1t all.
The new cables were made by
Slemens Bros. Il Co., whose factory
ct Woolwich, England, has been
working nightan day to complete
the order.
The cable is being laid by the Fara-
day. When the shore end is all paid
out IL will be buoyed. and the Fara-
day, coming back some weeks or q
month later, Will look around for tho
buoy In order to pick up the cable
again.
Thus. passengers across the At
lantic may see buoy away out In the
ocean, but mariners will be warned
to let 1t alone, as 1t marks the end Of
one Of the sections of the new cable.
The Faraday can lay the deep sea
portion OF the cable at the rate Of
seven nautical miles per hour. pro-

steam. The caole is simply paid out
from the stern like rope. Occasion

comes to a cliff or sudden fall in the
bottom Of the ocean, which is not

The Faraday is provided with maps

have the cable actually resting on

Meat for Young children.

Concerning the frequency with
which meat may properly be given to
children, says Dr. Flint, and regard
ing the time of day best suited To it's
administration opinions differ widely.
The writer believes. on the basis Of
his own experience. that children
under five years do best with only
one meat meal per diem, this beirg
best given In the morning or at neon.
After five years, both the breakfast
and the midday meal may include
some meat An ideal dietetic sched-
ule, however, for most children,
would embrace eggs at breakfast,
meat at noon and bread and milk at
night, appropriate cereals being sup
piled with the eggs and meat. All
meats for children should be carefully
cut into pieces, and children old
enough to cut their own meat should
be cautioned to make the pieces as
small as possible.

that when he was In Texas he found
Colonel George Crittenden, who vas

Dollar Wheat.

"We will never see dollar wheat

ones express their views on the price
situation. Such views have existed
many times before. When there are

the normal condition for all tin O..
But experience teaches that prices
are elastic and advance quite as easily
as they decline, when conditions ia

few years for the demand, and that
is all there Is to It. Market Record.

while she was resident Of an East
ern State and given to radical labors
In the betterment of her sex.
She was the first woman to adyO-
cate and to wear the short skirt, out
of which innovation has grown the
whole brood of garments, slightly and
unsightly, that women have ever
since been persuading themselves IL
would be best to adopt. The inventor
of the system, long since abandoned
it, but that fact has had no effe.t on
the seed Of instruction she planted.
The battle she began on the conven-
tional dress of women has been waged
by others, and, IL the statement Of
many women may be taken, 1t will be
continued till the sex Is emancipated
and learns to wear what 1t likes, and
what is m6st convenient and COM
Portable, even II it have not the APP
proval of a long established fashion.
Perhaps bicycle riding and the ne
cessity for an appropriate dress for it
will, after all, prove to be the way to
entire reform in wOmen's costume.
Already radical changes are seen in
bicycle costumes, as will be noticed
from the accompanying cut. One Of
the dresses here pictured was WORT
lately by fashionable woman In
Paris, and the other can be seen
daily on the boulevards and in the
parks of Chicago. Whether the time
is coming when trousers will be worn
by women generally, it would be rash
to say; the fact, however, that women
can even now wear such garments in
the street without provoking much
comment shows wonderful change
In public sentiment on the subject
within the last few years.
