Where Girls Are Deprecated.

In some parts OF Sicily the birth Of
girl is always an unwelcome an.
nouncement. In fact, it is regarded
as sad event and is made known to
the world by a black flag, which is
hung out of the window. The reason
that such an event is looked upon as a
misfortune is because the young
woman has to be supported by her
family until married and then she is
supposed to come to the bridegroom
with dot. This, OF course, is trying,
but the Sicilian father is not as badly
off as the American parent. Girls in
Sicily are married between the ages OF
fourteen and sixteen. They live in
seclusion until they are married, when
they are disposed of on purely
financial basis. New York Telegram.

The largest concern is the Carnegie
Steel Company, which is capitalized
at S25, 900, 900. 1t employs 10000
men and boys. In the way Of produc-
tion 1t turns out 100, 200 tons of pig
iron per month, and the same number
of tons of open hearth and Bessemer
steel blooms, billets, structural shapes,
etc.
The finished product aggregates
from twenty to twenty-five cars per
day. At the Braddock rail mill steel
rails thirty feet long are rolled out at
the rate of two each second, or 120
per minute. An average days work is
eighteen miles of single track.
On the opposite side of the Monon-
gahela River, and three miles below
Braddock, are the Homestead works,
made famous by the strike and riots of
1892. Armor plates, beams, etc., are
the principal products of this plant.
The armor mills are now practically
shut down on account of no work.
The company has finished its con-
tracts for Government work, and is
now rehuy 10 Hlhke urnOr LOT uuy lor-
eign Power. In the structural mills
the employees are getting out an order
of 81, 900 tons of beams and girders
for the Manhattan al" road system.
Since the armor plate frauds it is
almost as hard to break into the
Homestead mills as it is to get out of
Jail. No one is admitted without n
pass, uniformed guard standing as
sentinel over bridge at the main en-
trance. As the visitor who is fortu-
nate enough to secure ticket ap-
proaches the mills from the yard the
whole interior appears to be filled with
q shower of gold. From the mouth of
the converter, n fan-shaped flame OF
vast proportions sweeps roofward. and
from this comes the torrent of fiery

until by its color he recognizes the
right moment for turning out the
molten steel into the molds.
At his signal the converter" is
tilted forward. sending out metal as
bright as silver. Thus all day and
night the melter stands and makes the
basis of wealth for the world by the
control of living fire. Personal skill
alone qualities him for his Office, for
there is no thumb ruie by which he
can control this mighty element.
The practical process of making
Bessemer steel consists in putting pig
iron into the converter" and blow
ing the carbon out of il by means of
immense draughts. The sheets of
hame.onG sees are incandescent car
bon. Later the steel is remelted and
treated with speigle iron, etc., to re.
store the right quantity of carbon.

largest plant is that Of Jones & Laugh.

Within the past few years the iron

DAINTY STRAW HAT.

1t is noticeable that many straw hats
are scantily trimmed, but examination
will disclose the fact that the straw is
very prettily colored and elaborately
woven. That, according to current
usage, makes permissible but little
trimming, which often consists of lit
tie more than ore or two aigrette
punches of violets, the long stems
twisting into cords that pass about the
brim, and, perhaps, catch it up here
and there. This rule, however, is by
no means imperative, but is tasteful in
its results, as can be judged by con-
sideration of this pictured hat which
is of old gold straw bent into deeper
points at the sides and coming down
with graceful sweep in front and
back. 1t is trimmed with large bow

The origin of the iron and steel in
dustry, its growth and development
is a marvellous story. The beginning
of the manufacture of iron in West
ern Pennsylvania, and the first fur
mace built, dates back to 1790. 1t was
then located in what is now the most
fashionable residence section of Ritts-
burg, Shady Side. A rolling mill or
a small scale was erected there in
1911.

by the word pogonip: "This Is said

GERS of Nevada to a sort of frozen fog

ON the clearest and brightest days. In

Quay. women work on the floor of the
mill alongside men. They wear coarse
clothing, with heavy aprons, and on
their hands they have gloves.
The women stand at the rolls with
tongs and catch the plates Ms they
come ont. They cut, ''dip" and sep
arate them, and do the work better
than men. The women learned the
business in Wales, and earn from s.
to SO per week. Husband and wife

in the bolt and nut factories of that
city, but this is the first time they
have actually worked on the floor OF n
mill with the glare of furnace on
one side and the whirr of heavy rolls
on the other.
As it is the custom for women to
work in tin mills in Wales, the men do
not object to the women. The latter
will be taken into the Amalgamated
Association, MS the work they perform
is covered by the scale.
The iron and steel business will fur
ther develop by the building of new
railroads and the Lake Erie and Ohio
River Ship Canal. The latter is a Ger.
tainty, and, when completed, will
make Pittsburg in reality the greatest
manufacturing city in the world.

As for the French mohairs them
selves they are mcst beautiful. The
handsomest patterns are enormously
wide and in loose sort of bunting
weave, and not even in black do they
suggest the shiny funereal things one
is accustomed to associate with the
name. In color the huckleberry blue
is perhaps the latest tint, but more
gracious and becoming one is a soft
wavy brown that seems especially ef-
fective when worn with a blouse in
any of the gentle greens now fashion

One brown mohair gown, that has
Just made its debut in New York, has
bodice in crinked silk, patterned
gorgeously and confusedly with palm
leaves in many colors. 1t was simply
gathered at the neck and waist into a
belt aud stock of black satin ribbon,
and the sleeves, which were entirely
without stiffening, fell in great loose
puff three-auarters length. This palm
leaf silk, together with gauze pat
termed in the same way, is the very
latest French fads for waists. In some
of the gauzes the tones are wonderful,
great splotches of fame shading into
emerald green, and again melting into
effects that are almost brown. Nc
trimmings are used with them, the
many colorings of the texture being
the point intended for notice. There
