n CONQUERED.
Began TO Cry and That Settled the
Matter.

T. 10 Cry ana mat SctttcO the
Matter.
81 have regained all my lost faith in
womankind." said n man to a Wash
ington Post reporter. "As l came
through the railway station gate in
Jersey City one day recently on my
way home, l noticed just in front OF
me one OF the %clcverest Of all the
Washington newspaper women, Z
woman whose work is marked by 4
courage and original strength as far
is from notoriety. She was accompa-
MED by two little boys and the gate
keeper stopped her. The elder little
boy was more than 5 years old and his
name was not on the pass she offered.
The g~ate-keeper locked the gate and
went with her to see the conductor
about it. The rulings of the road were
most strict, the two officials agreed.
a ticket was necessary for the boy.
The newspaper woman must return 70
the station and buy one.
You should have had the child's
name on that pass, said the conductor.
We can't pass him without a ticket
Cant | pay on the train? asked
re newspaper woman, meekly. No,
the conductor didn't approve that way
Of doing. People mustn't try to beat
the railway company out of half-fares.
The boy was oyer s.. He must have Il
ticket.
81 heard it all, and I listened, be-
| expected to see the whole rail
way system vanquished. l had known
that newspaper woman to revolution
ize 4 whole town. l expected to see
the conductor wither away and the
~gate-keeper run for his life, but the
newspaper woman said never a word.
She simply looked helplessly around
and began to cry-yes, to cry, and the
last / saw Of her the conductor and
the porter and the gate-keeper were
helping her into the car and begging
her not to cry. The eternal feminin"
had spoken it's last word and there was
no more talk of half-fare ticket"

Cotton,

The American bale of cotton averages
40 pounds, the Indian bale 400 and the
Egyptian bale III. Some idea of the
vast extent of the worlds cotton area,
says an Atlanta paper, may be gathered
from the fact that in the United States
alone it covers over 20, 900 acres.
In 1880 the worlds total output of cot
ton aggregated only 100000 pounds,
or eleven times less than in 1895. With
in 4 single decade, however, the prod
uct almost doubled. amounting in 1910
to 1892, 100000 pounds. Since then the
worlds product has been as follows:
1891, $1,000 pounds in 1860, 4,O39,0O0,-
600 pounds in 1850 and 7,2SO,0OO 900 in
1909

SWEETNESS GONE,

Can't Buy Brown Sugar.

Mo1asses. Is Now Made Into Rum
Can't Buy Brown Sugar.
''The old fashioned molasses is rap.
idly disappearing as an article Of com
merce," said a prominent grocer, land
in its place have come a number of
Syrups which are more costly and by
no means as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, as we did
when we were young, in having lasses
on their bread. Most of the molasses
goes into the diStilleries, where it is
made into rum, for which, notwith-
standing the efforts Of u temperance
workers, the demand is constantly on
the increase, especially in the New En-
gland States and for export trade. The
regular drinker of rum will take no 9TH
er liquor in its place if he can help it.
1t seems to reach the spot more direct
ly than any other dram.
THE darker brown sugars have also
disappeared, and they are not likely to
return, owing to the methods of boiling
and the manufacture. Granulated SUI
gar is of the same composition, as far
as s~accharine qualities are concerned,
as loaf, cut loaf cube and crushed and
differs from them only in that it's crys-
tails do not cohere. This is because it
is constantly stirred during the process
Of crystallization. The lighter brown
sugars taste sweeter than the white,
for b reason that there is some mo-
lasses in them. Housekeepers have diff
ficulty these days in finding coarse,
dark sugars, which are always pre-
ferred for use in putting up sweet pick
les, making cakes and similar uses. AS
they cannot get brown sugar any more,
it may be well for them to remember
that they a simulate brown sugar by
adding Il t%easpoonful of molasses to
each quarter of a pound of the white
graduated sugar. This combination
does as we'll in all household recipes
that call for brown sugar as the article
itself, and besides it saves them a great
deal Of hunting for brown sugar,
which. as said before, has disappeared
from the market"

A few dealers have tried to build up a de-

they buy by the pound for four pounds, and
try to sell for a ive-pound package, the

Exercises TO Develop Gracef'ulrc.

Exercises TO Develop Gracefulrc IS.
The face of a woman should SUI
mount q body. graceful and easy: and
it is these w~aist-muscles which have
the power to give grace" writes kath-
arine EggleSton Junkermann in the
Woman's Home Companion. IF they
are kept free and strong by exercise,
the wearing Of q well-titted corset can
do them little injury, but some exercise
should be taken to set the blood c!Tcu-
lating freely, and the following is su5-
gested:
RAISE the outstretched arms above
the head, the body retaining its erect
position, then bend slowly forward
from the waist, so that the fingers come
as near touching the floor as possible
without straining. This is done with
out bending the knees. In recovering
position, let the arms relax and sink
down as the body straightens up. This
exercise also lengthens the waist.
The exercise known as w~aist-rolling
is one of the best for attaining freedom
of the waist-muscles. With hands
lightly placed on the hips, the fingers
pointing forward and down. let the
body drop forward easily so that it is
bent at the waist. This must be done
gently, as by jerking it more harm than
good is DONE"
