the Minor Arts.
Chinese are the oldest beadmakers In
the world. They have made beads 60
long that even their historians do not
mention time when the industry was
not ancient. And the Chinese today do
the work Just as their forefathers did.
and the styles are exactly the same.
After the Chinese no people are so ex-
pert as the Venetians. At present there
are more than 1000 workmen in the is
land Of Murano alone who are engaged
in beadmaking. The few manufacturers
in other parts of the world have all
learned the secret Of the craft in Venice.
For beadmaking there must be rope
walk connected with the glass factory.
A rope walk is a narrow, straight gal
lery $50 feet long and so situated that
the middle is not far from the furnaces
in which the glass is melted. The first
process is the making of ordinary tubes
like those used in almost every drug
store. Two brawny workmen with bare,
brown arms seize a huge wedge OF the
''metal," as the molten glass is called,
between their blowpipes, and after 1t
has been blown hollow they gradually
stretch it out into long, swinging rope.
When it has been reduced to the prop
er size for the beads about to be made,
it is laid away to cool, after which q
workman comes along and in a wonder
fully delft manner chips it into frag-
ments of uniform size. Often for small
beads these are not much larger than
grain of wheat, but SO carefully is the
work done that the little cylinders are
rarely cracked or spoiled.
The pieces are now picked up by boys
and placed in tub with sand and ashes
and stirred up carefully. In this way
the holes in the embryo beads are stuffed
full, thus preventing the danger OF the
sides flattening together when heat Il
applied. They are next placed in a skill
let-just such one as the housewife
uses in frying eggs-and stirred over
very hot fire until the ragged edges
where the pieces were broken from thu
tube are rounded, giving the bead
globular form.
Az soon as they are cool the ashes and
sand are shaken out Of them in q sieve
and then they are separated according
, to size by other sleeves. They are takel
next to long table around which {

Each child has needle and thread

THE FlSH's BALLOON.
A Mystery That Scientists Have Not Yet
Been Able to Solve.

A Mystery That Scientists Have Not Yet
Been Able to Solve.
Naturalists long ago studied the COM
position of the gas contained in the
swimming bladder Of fishes and discov-
cred that it consists of the principal
constituents of the air-namely, oxygen,
nitrogen and carbonic acid. But these
constituents are not mingled in the fish s
balloon in the same proportions as they
are in the atmosphere, and besides their
proportions do not remain always the
same in the fish. Sometimes the bladder
contains hardly any oxygen; at others
oxygen constitutes nine-tenths Of the
whole contents.
The variation in the quantity OF oxy-
gen is somewhat mysterious, and nat
uralists have offered several different
suggestions as to the cause Of it. Some
think the fish may be able to control the
quantity of oxygen in its bladder by its
own will Blot, distinguished French
naturalist, thought he had solved the
problem by discovering that the proper
ton of oxygen was larger in fish that
lived at great depths and smaller in
those that lived near the surface Of the
sea-
But quite recently new observations
made from the Prince of Monaco yacht,
Princess Alice, seem to prove that Blot
was mistaken and that the deep dwell
ing fish carry no more oxygen in proper.

ter Some of the fish whose swimming
bladders were examined by the natural
lists on the Princess Alice came from q
depth Of no less than a mile.
They were compared with fish which
seldom descend below 200 feet in deptl
and with others which prefer depth o.
about 500 or 600 feet, and all had near
y the same proportion of oxygen to aid
them in swimming.
The variations mentioned above seem
therefore to depend upon some othel

| was the first election after the enfran-
| chisement of the women of Colorado, go
per cent of the votes cast were by wo-
men, and it was largely due to their eff
forts that there were so many men,
who had stayed away from the polls
for years, working hand in hand with
them. 1t is idle to say that the rela-
lions between men and women are in
the least affected by womens mingling
In the contests of political life. No
true man fails in chivalrous feeling to-
ward the woman who is simply doing
her duty. 1t is only the men who have
unclean records and who fear the veto
of virtue upon degrading practices who
fail in chivalrous respect.
The scene at the polls in Colorado on
election day is pleasant one. Young
women go with their fathers, young
men are often seen with an aged grand
mother, while sometimes an entire fam
lily makes pleasant party, and as they
wait their turn the pleasant courtesies
of the day are exchanged by friends and
neighbors. Among the newly enfran-
chised of last November was white
haired woman who came, accompanied
by her friends, to cast her first ballot.
She was enthusiastic over her privilege,
and said she had never expected to live
to see the day when she might vote.
After carefully depositing her ballot,
she told the bystanders that she was
born in 1903. Last year the sharpest
political battle that Colorado has known
for years was fought, yet women moved
from polling place to polling place,
meeting with no disrespect.
Prompt and untiring in the first cam
paign of women in Colorado was Mrs.
Anna D. Clemmer, who is now dairy
commissioner of the state. No woman
in Colorado has had more varied po-
litical experience. Always a lady, she
has never forgotten her womanhood; al
ways republican, she has never for
gotten her patriotism, and has won the
respect and admiration of all classes.
Feeling the great need of her state, and
approaching that woman could ven
ture to SOW seed where man would not
be tolerated by the populist element,
she .bravely went into the mining camps
of Boulder county, and did the work
that was impossible to man.

The Maine Fisheries.

A hard winter is ahead of the inhab-
itants of many fishing villages in
Maine, according to reports circulated
in the Maine newspapers. Last sum-
mer's fishing was poor; both the lob
ster season and the sardine season
were short, and there was much less
demand for CLANS than was anticipated.
1t is said that score of families liv-
ing on the coast in the neighborhood
of Portland are even now in need of as
sistance, while on the island Of Mallayo
many people are now living on bread,
molasses and fish, and have much less
clothing than they actually need. The
fishermen are largely debarred from
making any use of the land they own
for farming because at the time the
crops need attention the fishing season
is at it's height.

pRorEcTs-.usERs OF ROYAL
naking Powder Company Wins It's Case
In United Sfates Coprt

UAking fowder Company Wins Its Case
In United States Court
The decision Of Judge Showalter in a
recent case that came up before him
sustains the claims Of the Royal COM
pany to the exclusive use OF the name
Royal" as trademark for it's baking
powder. The special Importance Of this
decision consists in the protection
which 1t assures to the millions of con-
sumsrs of Royal baking powder against
inferior and unwholesome compounds.
The excellence of this article has caused
1t to be highly esteemed and largely
used almost the world over It's high
standard Of quality having been always
maintained, consumers have come to
rely implicitly upon the Royal brand
as the most wholesome and efficient OF
any in the market. The cupidity of
other manufacturers is excited by this
high reputation and large demand Very
few of the hundreds of baking powders
on the market are safe to use. If their
makers could sell them under the name
of well known, reputable brand meal
culable damage would be done to the
public health by the deception. The
determination Of the Royal Baking
Powder Company to protect the users Of
the Royal baking powder against imi-
tators by rigid prosecution of them
makes such limitations of it's brand ex.
tremely rare.

STRICKEN WHEN A CHILD.
Young Man in Washington Whose Brain
Is as That of an Infant.

Young Man in Washington whose Brain
Is as That of an Infant.
Washington Star: In northwest
Washington, where the most exclusive
aristocracy live, is an interesting FAM
lily, consisting, as the neighbors sup
pose, of father and mother and two
children, but there are three The
head of the household is dignified to a
degree that appears austere. He is
proud of the patrician blood that flows
in his veins, if it is proper to call blood
patrician in democratic America. And
yet, how little his friends know him.
Could they see the self-possessed man
as he walks the floor at night, holding
in his arms a son, now almost grown,
they could scarcely believe their own
vision. For years the boy has not had
more than the intelligence of little
child. He was not born so, but nerv-
GUS disease has sapped the brain until
1t is gone, and the heart of the father
goes out toward the helpless son as it
does not toward any other living being,
and when the stricken one is not asleep
he goes to the boys room and rocks
and croons over him as he did when the
child was an infant.
