1t Is an interesting study to note the
different uses to which the so called New
York society girl puts her cotillon favors.
One girl always has something ready when
she hears the little voice in the early morn
ing say through the crack of the door:
"Sister, got anything for me? What did
you get last nighty' Another girl saves
them all from year to year. She came out
in society last winter, and one entire side
of her bedroom is covered with every con-
celyahlo favor, even to an enormous Japa-
nesc spider tied by the neck with a narrow
ribbon. This year she has had rack made
to hang her new ones on. The effect is
very fright and pretty in her room. Then
we hear of still another kind of girl:
This girl rips up almost all her favors
and makes coed, practical use of nearly
every one. She trims her summer hats
with the artificial flowers and ribbons,
makes collars and belts of some of them
uses the fans and gives some away as pres
ents. In fact, she asserts that going to u
dance is great economy. The incest one of
all the girls who is lucky enough to get
favors is the one who, without telling any
one or letting any one see, will divide with
some other girl at the dance who has not
had such good time as herself and in
that way will help to send her home happy

New Woman In Africa.

The new woman has suddenly appeared
among the native tribes Of Africa, where
the black bellies have discarded earrings
and breCchclOlhs and donned bicycle
boomers, much to the astonishment Of
the swarthy warriors The negro women
on the outskirts OF the forest, where they
como into close contact with European civ
'ilization, have gone crazy over the bicycle
Hitherto it has been "a comparatively
easy matter for the young black men tc
satisfy the cravings of their sweethearts
for articles of personal adornment, as the
styles never changed and the amount of
clothing the women We're in the habit of
wearing was extremely limited. Now,
however, the latter not only want a com
plete bicycle outfit, but an up to date ma
chine as well, with a cyclomCter, lamp,
kit of tools and all the other attachments.
AT first the native SWANS Of Natal
bought for their sweethearts tho old, high
wheeled bicycles which were discarded by
the European market. These for time
satisfied the aspirations of the native Afri-
can bellies, They quickly learned however,
that wheels of this pattern were out OF
date and that the safety with inflated
tires was the proper thing.

WOMAN OUTLINES MAN.
Has Greater Vital Tenacity. but Cannot
Stand Drink so Well.

Of the a reputed ceptcnarians who died
during the l;sj year 10 fewCr than / were
women, sa-~ he illustrated London News.
Out Of the lSS PERSONS who were declared
as over 80 years of are at death IC6 were
women. Inc superior longevity of the fe-
male sex is a well established fact. To
some extent il dercnds, of course, on their
more sheltered method of living, but by
no men"5 exc usiv ly, as the women of the
labo. in classes show great vital tenacity
as well as those who have an easy time'of
it in the world. The vital power of girls
is displayed in babyhood, for though about
104 boys are born to every 100 girls the
females have more than overtaken the de
fcicncy before the end Of the first year. In
other words, the belief of old nurses that
"boys are harder to rear than girls" is a
true one
For the first time another point in vital
statistics as Latwcen the sexes has recently
been investi Lated. This is the relative
periods of sickness in life. 1t is only lately
that there have been any female friendly
societies, and hence the statistics as to the
days of illness among women have been
largely conjoctuFal. But if these figures
are to be received as reliable women have
more days of nonfatal sickness in the yeal
on an average than men at all periods OF
life, except between 30 and 60

HAyING Fun WITH THE SENATE
Senator Mason of Illinois made his
maiden speech in the Senate Wednes-
day, and signalized it by some breezy
criticism on the Anticipated rules of
that body. 1t was such a ariation
from the prosy debate of recent days
that the Senator was accorded close
attention and twice received the
hearty applause of crowded galleries.
The speech as in support of resolu
ton offered by Senator Mason Gi-
recting the committee on rules to re-
port rule from the closure on the
previous question. In this connec-
ton Mr.. Mason sarcastically referred
to the action of the Senate on all
great questions before it, the long
and fruitless debate on Cuba, the
delay of the arbitration treaty and
the inability to say whether our diff
culties are to be settled by arbitra-
ton or by the methods of Corbett
and Fitzsimmons. 1t was time, he
said, to send the Senate into dry
dock and rid it of accumulated barn
acles.
