It costs more to keep woman than

She is handy to get mad at when

Woman is the superior being in

There are about sixty thousand
more of her sex than males in the

This accounts for the terrified,

She has her faults-such as false
hair and false complexion and so on.
But she is good deal better than
her neighbor, and she knows it.

There is standing at Cumberland
Gap. Just across the State line from
iiddlesboro, KY, an historic OLD mil
which during the civil war ground .ne
breadstuff for thousands OF Conieuef-
ate and Federal soldiers.
The mill is located at the foot Oh 'no
famous Pinnacle mountain on the sou.A
side. 1t has an overshot wheei oi INC
Sid fashioned kind about the same size
and almost duplicate OF the noteo
waterwheel which attracts so much at
tention near the entrance to the zen
oessee centennial. The mill was built
by John Locke, who came from Nortn
Carolina about 1906. The stones which
formed the foundation of the structure
were hauled from the old north state
at cost Of $3.50. Locke operated 1t
successfully for many years, and after
he had accumulated small fortune he
built q -four mill just above it. He alse
erected a carding factory and an up
right sash sawmill. All the machinery
was run by the famous cave spring Of
the Pinnacle mountain, which gushes
out of King Solomon's cave 300 feet
above the level of the valley.
| 1t comes from the mountain side q
veritable torrent, foaming, Kissing,
seething, carrying huge powders be-
fore 1t and cutting channel through
the everlasting rocks in its mad rush
to the valley below. This torrent, ac'
cording to the estimate of mechanical
engineers, would furnish 100 horse
power, and although old man Locke
harnessed only part Of the turbulent
stream to his wheels he secured suffi
cient power to operate the machinery
for many years. At his death few

Birds and feathers! Yes. thousands
of them, despite the "bird law"
Birds of all sizes, from the turtledove
to the blackbird, are used, and, when
too large to be put on entirely, the
head is combined with artificial wings.
All kinds of feathers find a place
duck and cock feathers, wings of swal-
low and owl, feathers of parrots,
blackbirds, pheasants, and, above all,
ostrich rlumes. The price OF the lat
ter advances continually, sure proof
of the demand for the article. The
winter models show full amazones in
unheard-of lengths. They are put on
lying full length, or partly around the
crown, or dropping over the brlm'
Ostrich plume tips are enriched with
all kinds and sizes of spangles.
Where the brim is broad enough
long feather boa may be used instead
of a plume. These boas are in severa
colors, black, white, silver gray, white
and gray, white and black, castor ant
beige. The last two tints are very
fashionable. Housewife.
