inevitable coarseness with which he repeats all

Washington. Feb S-Captan Leutze. the
commander Of the Alert. has cabed to the Navy
Department; that he has landed marines at San
Juan Del Sur. Nicaragua. for the protection of
the American Consulate. owing to the fact that
a revolution has broken out.
This afternoon another cable dispatch was re-
coived at the Navy Department. telling OF the
progress Of the revolutionary movement at that
end Of the Nicaragua Canal Captain I"utze
said that he had landed force for the protec-
ton Of the United States Consulate. and, as the
Government forces had given notice Of their
intention tO lombard the town. he had taken on
the Alert all of the women and children who
cared for refuge. The bombardment began yes
te1day, ard in the end the rebels were driven
out Of the town. which entered and taken
possession Of by the Government troops. The
rebels retreated toward the interior OF the coun-
try.
The opinion among Central Americans here is
that TIE insurrecton has been mistake from
the beginning. and that II is doomed To failure
owing to the preparations made by President
Zelaya to meet the storm. The outcome of this
uprising is awaited with much interest. because
it is the first real test that has been made OF the
ability Of the Greater Republic to carry out
that part of the tripartite agreement which
pledges united efforts to suppress rebellion in

WOMEN LOSING THEIR HAIR.

BnIdhendcdncss on the Increase
Among the Fair Sex of America.
1t is with mingled feelings OF joy and
alarm that the fair sex Will receive the
news from some learned scientists and ply
sicians that each year women are becom-
ing more inclined to badness. The women
who will receive the with
alarm are only those who are content with
their present condition and are not banker
ing after the franchise, equal rights and
other favors which only tend to disturb
the peace OF the family hearth. The rap
ture OF the radicals, however, may well be
imagined. But few women have heretofore
enjoyed the prerogative OF losing their
hair to any marked degree, and although
not so much advertised as some other de-
fects OF the sex we may be sure that 1t has
been keenly felt. That being baldheaded
was an attribute which the privileged sex
would themselves just as lief forego had
nothing to do with the case. 1t was the
general principle, not its particular APP
plication to the front row at the theater,
that allured. Your rampant woman's right

when the request is refused, defame the
conductor in a voice that can be heard at
the top of the shaft. Men stop an elevator
at a certain floor and request that the car
be held while they speak to a friend who
has an office on the other side of the build
ing. People who want to go down hail cars
going up and vent their spite on the con-
ductor when they find the car is going the
| wrong direction and will cause them half
q minutes delay.
On busy days old men who are certain to
address the conductor as Sonny" no diff
ference what his age may be, stop a crowded
, car at one Of the top floors and assure the
conductor that they merely wanted to ask
about the office of a man who probably can
be found in some building several blocks
away.
Directories and bulletins are seldom used
by strangers, who think 1t easier to ask
an elevator conductor, and he is supposed
to know everything from the name of the
painter of n picture in the Fine Arts build
ing to the price of corn. If he does not
know the latest bit Of war news and impart
1t to everyone who enters his car he Is
stupid. 1t is an absolute crime for him
not to know the standing Of the kall teams
in all the leagues in the United States. He
must remember everyone who has entered
the building during the day and must be
able to give an account for the absence OF
any tenant who happens to be out. He
must be kind to children and answer with
promptness all questions asked by young
hopefuls who enjoy riding up and down and
exhibit as great curiosity concerning an
elevator as "Helen's Babies" did concerning
their uncle's watch. AS Conductor Filing

A Few Aid to Help Out Either One
or the Other.


or the Other.
1t may not be generally known that gar
lie is the aid to the production of lovely
compilations. 1t Is to a steady diet of this
plant and to the damp air of the wash
tubs that the pretty washerwomen of Paris,
one of whom is annually chosen queen of
beauty for the Mardi Gras, owe their fas-
cinating complexion.
A physician of note advocates a good cry
occasionally for women. She who weeps
keeps her youth longer than the woman
who represses her tears. A profuse flow of
tears lessons blood pressure, a discharge of
energy reduces tension and produces an
exhaustion which demands a refreshing
sleep.
For grace of carriage peasant women, who
are accustomed to carry weights on their
heads, are deservedly noted. In the effort
to keep the balance of the burden they are
carrying these women train all the muscles
Of the body in order that they
may walk smoothly and steadily.
and the result is a queenly car
riage which many a great lady might
envy. To attain graceful carriage much may
be done by practicing walking with some OBJ
ject on the head-a little cushion, a book OF
even a light board would do-and certainly
all young people should learn dancing, and,
il possible, fencing. These exercises produce
frmness and iexibility in the limbs and the
power OF sustaining balance gracefully.
