THE CITY COUNCIL
Questions to Come Up at the Session
Today

At the meeting of the city council to-
day the special committee on census
will probably present its final report,
notifying the council that the work is
complete and asking to be discharged.
The matter of the loan of $40, 900 to the
school board to enable it to carry on the
high school and kindergartens to the
close Of the term. recommended by the
finance committee, may cause some de-
bate, but the funds asked for will doubt
less be transferred.
The changes asked for by the board Of
education in the matter of the proposed
school bond issue will probably be grant
ed, and the necessary steps taken for the
calling of the election. The city attor-
ney has not yet been ordered to prepare
the ordinance, and it will probably be
impracticable to have it ready for to-
days session.

No glove that has been worn half an
hour should be put away until it has
been pulled into. shape and dried.
Catching it at the wrist and pulling
off wrong side out is the approved
way of removing a glove, as that
strains no portion of it. If there is a
rip in finger, mend it at once, for
which purpose keep the glove thread,
always cotton, and never silk, fine
needle and y thimble in your glove
box. Turn the finger wrong side out
and whip the rip neatly together, fas-
tening the thread by sewing back a
little; never knot. Then pull the fin
gers gently into shape, and after they
have dried thoroughly fold together
and lay smoothly in the box. If the
gloves are new and light colored lay
them between folds of white tissue
paper.

Fashion Notes.

Jewelled embroidery is at Che zenith
OF its popularity, which fact predicts
its downfall in the near future.
Pure snow-white is in fashion again,
and nothing can be much prettier than
the colored straw hats trimmed with
white chiffon, white ostrich feathers,
or dead-white wings.
The best dressed people are those
who adapt the fashions to their own
requirements. IL ones neck is long,
ruff may be worn, but to a short,
stout figure they are most unbecom-
ing Nor should a very tall woman
wear high crowns
Girdles and belts, with sash ends all
made of ribbons, costing from So to
SIS, are shown in the shops in great
variety. RufHes Of lace edging, set on
two or three inches apart across the
ends for the entire length, are one
mode of decoration; others are Of fancy
striped ribbon, without the lace, ar
ranged in deep pointed girdles, boned
to keep them IN place.
If we were to Judge women by the
ezpanse of brow they display now that
the hair is SO generally thrown back
pompadour, it would seem that they
had become more intellectual or af-
ficted with loss of hair; but it is
nothing more serious than fashions
fancy, and the curling tongs are quite
as muoh in demand as ever to encircle
the head with soft, large waves.
Color is very carefully considered
this season Red, white and blue are
the key notes from which many pretty
variations are made. The real royal
vred is a bright scarlet, but the particu.
lar tint which appears most conspicu
ously in fashionable dress is exactly
like one of the velvet leaf geraniums
Rose red, too, is very much worn by
t English women, as it symbohzes the
S National flower.

Scientific Cutting.

Men of science sometimes make ex-
traordinary demands upon the skill of
Observation-Disclosures An interesting
illustration is furnished by the instru-
ment called the 'microtome, the
purpose of which is to cut excessively
thin slices, or sections, Of various sub
stances, such as animal or vegetable
tissues, for micropic examination.
Microtomes have recently been inven-
ted, which, it is claimed, can cut sue
cessive sections each only one twelve
thousandth of an inch thick The
edge of the knife which makes such
cuts appears perfectly smooth and
straight when magnifed fifty times.

The London Times publishes an ex-
haustive account of the remarkable
exploration in northern Babylonia of
the Haynes University of Pennsyl-
vania expedition, which for five years
has been excavating the great mounds
of Nuffar, the site of the ancient city
of Nippur, the sacred city of Multi, or
the older Bel of the Senites. They
form, says the Times, the greatest dis
coveries of modern times, carrying the
history of civilization back to an an
tiouity never thought Of. Here is
one suggestive passage I'm the face
of this evidence from Nippur we may
have to reconsider the question Of
Chaldean influence on Egypt, and
possibly reverse the old theory that
the tower of Urgur rests upon mas
sive brick platform of crude brick.
Excavations conducted below revealed
the existence of q second pavement OF
much finer construction built Of kiln
burnt bricks Of great size, the dimen-
sions being fifty centimeters square
and of great thickness. Nearly all Of
these bricks were inscribed, and bore
the stamps Of Sargon I. and Naramsin
his son, and their date, therefore, is
Just one thousand years prior to The
buildings Of Urgur, namely, B. G
$500 The priority Of Chaldea in thu
use of the keystone arch is clearly es
tablished by further explorations o
seven metres below the pavement o
Urgur, and 4.57 metres below that o
Naramsin. Since there were no grea
temples to crumble into ruin, it mus
have taken many centuries to bull,
up the great mass Of debris foun
there. The estimate Of from 1900 t
1000 years before the time Of Sarge.

racy has made tremendous strides
since England put the loser of Water

FIRST general census OF Russia, just
