Gate of Tears and Bridge of Signs

The Straits of Babelmandeb, the
passage from the Persian Gulf into the
Red Sea, are called the Gate of Tears
by the Arabs. The channel is only
about twenty miles wide, rocky and
very dangerous for passage in rough
weather. 1t received its melancholy
name from the number of shipwrecks
that occurred there.
The Bridge of Signs is the bridge of
Venice which connects the palace of
the DOge with the State prison, and
was so called because Over it prisoners
were conveyed from the judgment hall
to the place of execution.

Farmers and Binders Irvine.

The offer made elsewhere in this pa
per by the John NJ. Smyth Company,
of Chicago, to furnish farmers with
Binder Irvine is certainly something
unprecedented in these days. The
prices are named on the different
grades of Irvine and the privilege Of
examination and comparison with other
qualities and values offered each pur-
chaser. The firm making these offers
is one Of the most reliable and ex-
tenSiYe In the limited States.

Offers Trained to Catch Fish.

Chinese and Indian fishermen have
an ingenious way Of training the otter.
They catch the small cub and put a
collar round the throat. The little crea-
ture, finding itself unable for days to-
gether to swallow anything it catches.
gives up trying to do SO. and firmly be-
lieyes for the rest Of it's life that an
otter can only swallow such food as it
receives direct from its masters hands.
and, accordingly, it faithfully brings to
the bank all the fish it CAPTURES.

Pow Do You Sleep?

Incorrect positions during sleep cause
many stopped shoulders. The big, fat,
awful pillow of u grandmOther's day
is the worst kind of a horror. No pillow
nj all is the best, and after n becomes
accustomed to sleeping that way it will
hc found much more reStful and alto
gether comfortable. The best position
for sleep is to lie face downward, with
the arms straight at the sides.

or jacket is topped by an overdress that
does not match anything. At best it
matches the yoke or the bodice worn I'M
der the jacket. Such rigs are brand new
and fail to look as ugly and ungraceful as
well, as they ought.
This will be apparent from examination
of the left hand gown of the three sketch
ed side by side. It's material was gray
cloth and underskirt and jacket were
braided closely with black. The over
dress was the plain cloth and the bodice

coat may be slightly horsey and at the
same time essentially feminine. Though
it is cut in many different lengths and
ways, all the garments have in common
the most marked characteristics. These
are the familiar ones of the coat in to-

When overdresses came in women de-

They planned to put a ticket in the field
in the next election. That was ten
months ago. Every night, when the
husbands and grown sons came home
from their work, the housewives would
bring up the subject. AS a result, sew
eral hundred men cast votes for the
wOman'S ticket. There were numerous
rows at the polls between men and
women, but when the votes were count
ed it vas found that the women were
elected by majorities ranging from so
to 100. The clerk, treasurer and three
cOuncilwOmen were elected.

Good Advice for Girls.

Don't hang around the depot, unless
you are going away or meeting friends
Don't go to church and take a back
seal with your escort, and then whis.

Don't be loud, b%oisterous and slangy,
Stand on your dignity; don't form ac-

your heart on your sleeve. and don't
throw yourself into the arms of every
goOd-looking drummer or we'll,

Be womanly, be modest, be thought,
full and serious at times; don't unseS
yourselves, and thus lose woman's
sweetest charm. Don't regard you!
