BARREN, INDEED.

out Air,

Atmosphere is not alone valuable
for breathing purposes.
1t prevents hailstones from falling
with terrific velocity and killing us like
bullets. 1t prevents TIE fierce heat
of the sun from burning US up in the
daytime by intercepting and storing
it up, and gives it off slowly at night
to keep us warm. But for this action of
the air the earth would be like fur
mace by day and freezing machine
at night.
Without air there would be no dew,
and plants would languish. There
would be no twilight without it, and
when the sun went down the change
from brilliant light to perfect darkness
would be instantaneous.
The beautiful colors OF the sky would
be nonexistent, as they are due to the
decomposition of light by moist air.
without air there would be no sound
on the earth. We could never hear
a human voice, music or the song OF
birds. No fire could burn. no gas, nc
lamps, no factories, no ironware, no
Jams and marmalade, no sweets, nc
stiff collars and cuffs.

WOMEN IN ADVERTISING.
A Line OF business That Many OF
Them Seem to he Just Fit
ted For.

Woman, it has been demonstrated,
knows how to whoop things up in the
advertising line. She is a success in al
most every branch of the business. and
is beginning to find out that great deal
of money is to be made in this field.
Where there was one woman engaged
in the work ten years ago ten are to
be found to-day, declares the New York
Sun.
a man who knows as much about the
advertising business as any other in
the city, said, when questioned about
the women in the business: my ex-
perience has been that woman is sue
cess in every line of advertising which
she has attempted to follow. She is
an excellent solicitor, much better in
certain departments than men. she
knows how to write 80 as to appeal to
women better than men do, and she
knows how to illustrate advertisements
or to have them illustrated just so they
will catch the eye of women. I've tried
any number Of men in the religious de-
partment, and they've failed. say to
a man: We ought to have great many
more religious notices in such and such

that the persons won't see him. No
woman solicitor ever returns with such
a story of failure. To my certain knowl-
edge one Of the finest advertising spe-

Commerce and Immirrat,ou

Commercially the United States has
from earliest colonial times shown its
importance to the world, and at pres
ent our combined imports and exports
count up to $1,sO0.OOO,OOO year. Our
productions have always been sought
by other countries, and the United
States lies on new world-highway
from Europe westward to Asia. and
commands another great international
trade route to the West Indies and
South America. In the movement of
people to and fro across the ocean. the
United States has been the focus of
the most tremendous hegira of civilized
people which the world has ever seen;
from 1921 to 1898 more than 1S.CC0.0O0
persons came 10 our shores to make
their homes here; in the last ten years
more people have emigrated to Amer
ica than the whole population of Switz-
erland. There are now here more Ger
man.. and children of Germans than
in Bavaria. And the tide of travel east

hundreds of thousands every year.

AN EFFICIENT Ar
~ the One Maintained by Little Swift
zerland at a Nomin-
Al Cost.

1t has long been matter of wonder
that Switzerland should be abl< ION lin
tain an efficient army for less than
$5G0,000. She could in a case OF emer-
gency put 100000 troops in ti.e field
in two days, with 100000 more$infre-
serve, besides 27,o0O militia. TheSwiss
have been peculiarly strong fighters
since the dawn of European history,
running all invaders from the Romans
to the French by their never-say-die
mode of warfare. Almost every man in
the present Swiss army is l7arksnan,
as shooting societies are substantially
encouraged by the government. The
equipment is most simple, as each man
keeps his rifle and accoutrements at
home. There is little or no artillery,
the nature of the country forbidding
the use of that branch of the serv-
ice. The men in the republic, no mat
ter of what rank or calling, serve ten
years, from % to 90, being called out
for drill As days in the first year and Is

ually responsible for the condition of
their munitions of war, and entirely Of

The system, if limited, is by far the
most efficient in the world.

SNAKE CHARMERS.
Hardy American Indians Who Carry
Deadly Rattlers I'm Their
MOufha.

1t is generally supposed that the SER
pents exhibited by snake charme1s
have been deprived OF their fangs, and
this is doubtless often the case, while
one instance at least is recorded in
which the mouth of the snake hed
been sewn together to prevent it from
biting, says the Westminst.l .seyiew.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon exhi-
bition, given some years ago in Lon
don, that one of the snake eharners,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting
seized the reptile by the ncci and thrust
it hastily into the small ro hasket
in wEirh it was carried same
time pushing it with -inous
white cloth. at which it bit savagely.
Having almost closed the lid of the
basket, the man drew away the cloth
violently, thus doubtless dragging out
the fangs which were fastened in it.
He then secured the basket and car
ried it away.
This, of course, required a large
amount of cool courage, as well as
great quickness of hand and eye, all
which qualities must be doubly neces-
sary in capturing and ta~-i~- these
deadly reptiles. But if we en-
ished by the Skill and dcTtc t3 d:s-
played by Indian snake charm, s.ls5s slll
more mnst we marvel al tne seel.iAa5d

VIOLET ALL THE RAGE.
II IL the Perfume of the Season, and
Many Women Have Their Own
Special Formula.

| Violet is the perfume of the season.
From the tips of her fingers to the
heel of her kid boot the well-groomed
woman suggests this flowers sweet
| ness.
IT is quite common for dainty wom-
en- TO have their own individual per
| fums formulated as they fancy it should
| be-for there are violets and violets.
| Some like one combination and others
another, SO it is easy to take ones per-
| fumer into ones confidence and have
secret formula agreed upon. Ever
after that perfume is known by it's
| owners name and no one else can steal
| its sweetness.
For the bath, dainty femininity has
violet water, and after therubbing deli
cately scented violet powder is used,
and there is violet in the tonic for the
| hair. Violet tooth washes are used,
and there are even perfumed bon bons,
while tiny rouge pencil for the lips
is violet scented.
From the walls of a woman's ward
robe hang tufted pads breathing BIOS
som whiffs Of violets, and every least
nook for feminine finery holds sug-
gestion of violet fragrance. Tiny
sachet bags are tackled here and there
in the frocks, perfumed flannel goes
in strips into the tailor-made gowns
and in hat Innings, while violet tablets
are tucked into Ascot ties and the glove
palm and loosely thrown into coat
pockets.
Real violets are favored for the cor
sage, and later will be seen on muffs
and boas. A New York perfumer has
so cleverly initiated the Parma violet
that it is really almost impossible to
tell the artificial from the real, and it
is quite good form to wear them.

A GREAT HOUND.

when they started vigorous old fox.
BY their vigorous mouthing it was
known that they had warm scent and
were on the trail OF fox of fine stay

the night the residents of that vicinity

together. and then the two male dogs
Iropped out of the run, leaving Queen

long she followed the trail, and long
toward morning was joined by some
fresh hounds, who stayed with hci for
few hours, fell out, rested up and
joined in the chase again at intervals

On the second day Of the chase Will

its staying qualities, joined her and
remained until the close Of the
run. Queen was on the run, with

in the chase. She stopped only when
she had run reynard to cover. After
she had accomplished this she lay down
and guarded the burrow, and when

WOMEN OUTLIVE MEN.
observations of Professor Duchner
Show Many More Female Gem
tenarians Than Males.

! It is strange but true that the most
delicate child often outlives his
stronger brother or sister. Many in
! stances are on record of the long sur
! vival of those who seemed destined to
die early 1t is said of Voltaire, who
lived to be s4 years old. that he was
| so delicate at birth he could not be
baptized for several months. Sir Isaac
Newton, the doctors said. would not
live a week, but he celebrated his
eighty-ffth birthday. Fontenelle lived
to be 100, although he was so frail at
Lirth that the priest had to go to his
home to baptize him.
Even more interesting than this is the
statement by Prof. Buchner that it is
possible for a woman to preserve her
youthful beauty even to her old age.
or, in some instances, to regain it. The
marquise of Mirabeau died at Sc with
all the marks of youth in her face.
Margaret Verdun at IS smoothed out
the wrinkles, her hair grew again and
her third set of teeth appeared. Cases
of this third dentitionare not rare.
The professor has still further hope
| for the fair sex in the announcement
that women live longer than men. Our
French woman, Marie PriouX, who died
in 1888, was said to be 158 years old.
| Statistics of the various countries on
| this point are remarkable. In Germany
only Alb of 1000 males reach the age
of so, while more than 500 of 1,CO0 fe-
males reach that age. In the United
States there are 2,583 female to 1893
male centenarians. In France. of ten
centenarians seven were women and
only three men. In the rest of Europe,
of 81 centenarians 16 were women.
The oldest person now living is held

years old, and lives in a little town in
