The Democrat rants over its demand
to dismiss some of the ail-carriers
because they dared, in their humble
capacity as citizens. to attend pri-
mary meeting. When it comes to lit
tie things, this, we believe, is the
smallest and measliest attack we ever
knew the Democrat to make.

Another thought was that John c.
Fremont, that pioneer Republican,
the Pathfinder of the West, was the
man who saved this princely domain
and dedicated it to the cause OF Free

wilds OF the Rockies and Sierras and
flung Old Glory to the breezes of the
Pacific on the ramparts of Monterey,
and it was not hauled down. There
was talk of Furnishing him, but events
transpired with such rapidity that in
stead of suffering as a culprit he be-
came the first candidate of the Repub-
lican party for President of the United

Tl,a Anne Parisl, club.

It is said that Anne Parish, Quaker spinster, born in 1760, founded the first woman's club in Philadelphia 103 years ago. The Federation of Clubs has been immortali2ing Hannah Adams and hailing her as tho pioneer clubwoman, but this story of Anne Parish will somewhat interfere with the Hannah Adams theory Tho Anne Parish club was composed of 23 young women of excellent families, and they devoted themselves to philanthropie work. They met every week and devised plans for relieving the sufferings and necessities of the poor and afflicted. The grand daughters and great-gr~ IT alt.rs of the members of tgo oIls 4ls..l soeIoJy still carry on the work Passing down through the oldest daughter, the present officers of the club arc two clerks, D 8 treasurer and an executive committee of 13. The membership supports a homo, where nearly 100 old women who are poor and needy go every day aud read. sew, knit and darn and are paid for their labor and get wholesome meals as well.

Some Natty Costumes.

Some natty costume of ladies' cloth designed for slender young women are made of two shades of the material, the fronts of the blouse trimmed with cloth straps completely covered with rows oi handsome braid or silk cord applique.
 The arrangement of braided or machine stitched straps and tabs of the dress ma. serial is greatly varied this season.
 Some show lines that run horizontally acrsss the waist front, others simulate Q norfolk jacket, and again the bands go round the figure from under the arms, and over the arms from the shoulders are laid similar straps On gowns just mentioned the darker shades are used for the straps, and the skirt is of one shade opened up each seam on the front and sides, with stitched bands of the other shade inserted.-New York Post.

The Louis Seize Bow.

There is great rage at present for the Louis XVI bow. Fashioned of car nation colored velvet, it ornaments the left shoulder of white or black even ing dress. A small bow to match is used as the mount of all aigret or ostrich tip in the coiffure. The points to re- member are, first, that the bows must match ill color, material and pattern l; second, they must not be the same size; third, that the smaller is intended as part of the headdress. But just now it is the shoulder bow at the left that gives finish to toilet In no case must there be a bow on both shoulders. Such is the ukase of an autocratic modiste, who lays down the law with the com fortable consciousness that it is an ulti- matum The fiat is going forth.
 The bow is not always of velvet. 1t may be made of lace, net or tuile, in which case it is wired with silyery in visible" wire. The lace may be jetted or pearled. The velvet or satin ribbon bow. if it be of the true Louis Seize type, requires wiring. Black wires are used with dark colored bows.

Woman and Church Organizations.

"The tinie is coming, <" says The Con- gregationalist of Boston, "when organ izatiens for women only in the church es will be as exceptional as similar or ganizations for men only The Ameri- can board will have women in it's cor porate membership and on it's pruden- tial committee. They will be found in the executive committees of tho other societies. They comprise about two. thirds of the membership of the church. es, and they will assume their part in tho management of the work of the churches. They will no longer think of coafning their administration to the affairs of their own sex, nor will men wish them to do so. We may not all ap- prove of this change which has become 90 manifest. Sono of us may study ways of rotarding it. The Congrega- tionalist would not be understood as positively advocating it. It cannot af- ford space for the controversy that would follow But if others hasten the inevitable we shall not condemn them. '

Book Cover Designers.

One reason given for the success of women as designers of book covers is their quick appreciation of the appropri ateness of design and material for the context of the book to be covered. They do not, for instance, olothe the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius ill pink and gold, although certain mystics believe pink to be the soul color. Nor do they believe that Democracy Triumphant should wear dress of purple flags. It is the artistic consistency they manage in the completion of dainty volume that makes their work popular At the Phil adelphia School of Design the girls are given subject once q wcek-the title of some book--for which cover is to be made The most successful designers of the books named last week -"The Queens of England, . Kings and Queens of Scotland, ' The Bonnie Brier Bush'' and Poems were made by Miss Theedora N. Anderson, Miss Anna B. Kraus, Miss Mary S. Graid, Miss Marie A. Morton, Miss Eva Cham bers, Miss Maud Mueller and Miss Edna V. Free. The designs wcre made in the colors in which they would be repro duced, and one was drawn on tho cloth which could be used, which is said to be better way for insuring the exact repetition of design, IS tho binder may not always bo able to match tho color ill the paper model.
 It is said this industry has increased rapidly since Archibald Leighton in 1929 introduced the cloth binding prod uct as now known. New York Tribune.

Where a Man Must Speak Up.

II had occasion the other day. for the first time" said sober minded citizen "to go up high in one of the modern tall buildings. called on man in the seventeenth story. It certainly was tre- mendous the way they hoisted us up that shaft, with smooth start and easy stops and lightning between. But the most impressive thing about the trip was this: A man who got on where I did, at the ground floor, and who wanted to get off at the tenth floor, said Tenth, as it seemed to me, the instant we started up, but the elevator man said: This is the twelfth. We'll stop going down.
 eff there is place on earth where q man needs to speak up, it appears to be in the modern elevator car. New York Sun.

CRYING AS 4 SAFETY VALVE.
Scientific Declaration That ea Good Cry~
 Is Beneficial.

Is Beneficial.
 The Hospital declares that the popu- lar belief that "a good cry gives at times salutary relief has good scien- fife foundation. A writer on that sub ject says;
 Crying is so commonly associated with distress that mans s natural in> stinct is to put stop to 1t as soon as possible. We should not forget how. ever, that it has its uses. Dr. Harry Campbell has recently shown how com plex are the phenomena involved in q good cry This does not consist merely in the shedding of tears, but includes so general and widespread an action of the muscles that the whole body may be con vulsed. In children also a great change takes place during crying i'll the mannet i'll which the respiration is carried on Aspirations are prolonged sometimes for as much as half minute and are in- terrupted by short inspirations. During expiration the glottis is contracted so that the intrapulmonary pressure rises considerably, and thero can be but little oOitOb titlu iu lS bliG CJQul LII this increased air pressure throughout the whole of the chest, leading to the dilatation of portions of the lungs that have become more or less collapsed, that is the explanation of the great benefit which often results from crying in cases of infantile bronchitis and of the large discharge of bronchial mueus which so often follows. Children may become very blue during the paroxysm, but the deep respirations which succeed quickly restore the circulation to better con- dition than before in consequence of the larger lung space rendered available. In women tho beneficial effect of good cry is provorbial. Ill them also this is partly due 10 tho increased depth of respiration and the improvement ill tho often languid circulation thereby in- duced, but to a large extent it is the re> suit of the muscular exercise involved, by which the general vascular tension, and especially the blood pressure ill tho brain, are much reduced. The profuse flow of tears no doubt also acts strongly on the cerebral circulation in still fur ther reducing tension. The sobbing movements, again, have a good influence upon the yenous circulation ill the ab- doninal and pelvic viscera, while the exhaustion produced tends to produce sleep and thus to give the nervous sys- tenn it's best chance of reeuperation. We should not, then, too hastily intervene to stop a woman from having out her cry. If we can remove her trouble, by all means let us do 50, but If the trouble is to remain, let her cry herself to sleep This is far better than soothing drafts. ,

Since Mrs A. E. Paul was appointed street inspector for the business district of Chicago one of the sweepers was ask ed how he liked to work under wom- ali. Ee answered.:
 "We like the woman. She does not curse and swear at us Man foreman drive us around like slaves and call us bad names. We don like that, so when ho so way to get drunk we loaf on the job. Foreman come back full of whisky and find work not done, he swear lot more. Woman she comes in happy in morning and stay so all day.

AN AFRICAN POISON STORY.
Strange Phenomenon Witnessed In tho Northeast of tho Dark Continent.

Strange Phenomenon witnessed In bhe
 Northeast of tho Dark Continent.
 Charles M. Stern of Chicago, who re- turned to this city after journey through northeast Africa, told of a curi. ous meteorological phenomenon which he observed in a district called Gwallah. t'The vegetation in that region is very luxuriant, said he, ''and the plant life must give off an unusually large quan- tity of carbonic acid gas. At least that was tho conclusion reached after see- ing three natives die and four or five dogs
 The moment the animals put their noses close to the ground they would fall over and gasp and die in about five minutes The natives who died slept OH the ground instead of in hammocks, as others did. I saw hundreds of dead birds. My theory is that stratum of the deadly gas covered the ground for q depth of three or four inches, and any living thing breathing in that area would be asphyxiated.
 'sI could not understand, however. how the gas was not distributed in q thinner layer and what kept it in one place for whole day. Nothing like it had ever been known there before. The deaths of the men and the dogs all oc cured within 24 hours. Then the gas, If it was really gas, seemed to dissipate. It was very strange occurrence, and l might have been induced to make Q moro exhaustive investigation if my presence had not excited distrust. gaA away as quickly as possible rather thah be accused of being the cause of th> sudden deaths The natives are super stitious and attribute most of their mis. fortunes to witchcraft, so I thought il the part of wisdom to get away.
