Women Not Cowardly,

When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody makes a huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of a harmless mouse, but they court death several times a year. It is one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. haye known wom- en who were timid to degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroines under the pressure of occa- sion. A woman who shudders at the sight of small cut from which blood oozes will oftsn exhibit marvellous courage in a shocking accident. It IS beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of reck- lessness which leads us into unneces- sary trouble.

Long Delayed Letter Appears.

The long arm of coincidence and the delays of the postoffice are curiously illustrated by the following story. A family took house one autumn at the seashore. The husband went down first Of all to see that all was we'll His wife wrote to him. That letter did not arrive. It never transpired why. Per haps the missive hitehed on to a ledge inside wallbox, as has been known to occur, and remained there till the box was cleaned or itself was knocked of by other letters. The next year the same family took the same house for the same time. Before they had been there a week the missing letter ar rived. It bore the postmark of the day before. and there was no explana- fifn -f!hina on Nnws

Khaki Made at PimIIoo.

This Is the Age of Cement.

Gen. J. s. Clarkson, formerly Of Iowa, but now president of the New York and New Jersey Bridge com pany, and also of the Monolith Im- provement company, who was at the Auditorium in Chicago, recently said: "The stone age is passing, and the age of cement is upon us. American cities are in the rough, and they must in the next few years be completed so that they will be safe and sanitary. The work of development will be done in great part with Portland cement. That will be the material for bridge piers, for foundations of buildings, for con duits, and for the tunnels in which underground transportation will in time be placed"

ELECTRICAL RESEARCH.
Some Things That Have Not Yet Bsen
 Found Ont

Prof. McAdie says that before lt,.g science will succeed in measuring the energy of a lightning flash, and also in demonstrating the nature of the au- rora. That the aurora is an electrical phenomenon has long been recognized An intimate relation seems to exist be- tween the aurora and sun spots. In 1882 the astronomer at Greenwich sent out notification of the appearance ot an enormous sun spot on Nov. Y of that year. For three hours on the morning of that day not wire of the Western Union Telegraph company could be used, and not even the mar ket quotations could be distributed. At night there was brilliant auroral display and all telegraph service was Is&gain Interrupted. Cables to Europe workable; but some messages were sent as far as TOO miles by cutting off the batteries and utilizing the atmos
 pheric electricity. Over half of North America, across the Atlantic and over northern Europe 1t seemed as if le- glons of ethereal demons were busy melting elsetrie and magnetic appara- Jus to strange and misehieyous antics. The artificial production of an electric fire-ball by Prof. Richmann is unique, though electricity in this form is not unfamiliar. Sometimes such balls are seen to ruEl along the surface of the sea, and when they appear on land they usually burst with loud noise, often with disastrous effects. Nobody has yet been able to explain these balls, which appear to be a very con- centrated form of electricity. When the experts say, as most of them do, that electricity is merely form of mo- ton, the explanation is more or less unsatisfactory, but how is one to ac
 count for the presentation of form of motion in the shape of luminous sphere ?-Bosten Transcript.

BARE WIRE TELEPHONE LINE.
rwo Indiana Towns, Fifteen Miles
 Apart. Successfully Connected.

AphEbt Successfully connected.
 An Anderson, Ind, correspondent writes: One of the most novel tele-, phone systems in the world is the 'barbwise'' line, which connects the towns Of Anderson, Pendleton and In- gals. It is fifteen miles in length. It's inventor, builder and sole owner, Cas- sius Alley of Pendleton. Ind, now has six subscribers at $50 a year each. The time is not far distant when there will be ten-fold this number. One clothing company at Anderson with branch stores at Pendleton, and the Wagner Glass Works, with offices at Anderson and factory at Ingalls,, are using this bare-wire system in their business affairs exclusively They use the line frequently. They can convert it into private line by plugs so ar- ranged that when one party is using the line he can cut out all others except in MT. Alleys. residence, which is used Rs central station. It is no exag- geFatien to say that this barb-wire telephone system is quite as satisfac- tory as the copper circuit Of the Bell. Ordinary phones are used with no special strength of battery and there is very little trouble with the lines. In constructing the line Mir. Alley used the top strand of the barb-wirs fence of the Big Four railway, mak ing the connections with the offices of his subscribers with ordinary tele- phone wire. Ill some instances where the posts had rotted it was necessary to paint the wire and posts with rub- Der paint to insulate the wire. The whole line of fifteen miles was built at cost of about S100, and the outfit for each house, consisting of receiver, transmitter, battery, call, etc, costs not over $10 The line has been in operation since December 22. and has not been out of order except for few hours when fast train on the rail- way track struck a COW, threw her body against the fence and broke the wire.

Smoke Shells Suggested.

The great loss of life incurred by the English troops is mainly attributable to the charges they have had to make across open spaces in order to dislodge the enemy from the sheltering kopje. In order to minimize the death roll 1t has been suggested that just before a charge takes place smoke shells should be fired, which would temporarily hide the English soldiers.

Preserving Eggs in stockines.

The latest advice for keeping eggs comes from farmers wife. She takes long stockings. fills them with eggs, ties them shut and hangs them in the cellar and garret in current of air. Every week or two she takes the stock ings down and hangs them upside down. This is quite an important part of the method Eggs have been kept sweet for long time in this manner.

FOURTH IN POPULATION
This Is the Standing of tho United
 States Among the Nations.


 E There were 62, 622 ,250 inhabitants in the United States ten years ago, ac- eording to the last census. Secretary Cages actuary of the treasury, who is close guesser in matters of popula- tion, computes the present population between Maine and California, Alaska, and Key West, at 76,14S,0O0. To this must be added the peoples brought un- der the stars and stripes by the war with Spain and by the annexation of Hawaii, to say nothing of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Guam. If the Filipinos can be induced to stand still long enough to be counted they may possibly yield million or two more, but unless the actuary has made mistake in addi tion there will yet remain a wide gap between the actual and the magnificent round number. For a decade or two longer, therefore, the United States must be content to remain in the fourth place in point of population among the nations Of the earth. China despite the encroachments upon her territory, still holds the lead, with 402, ,680, 900 men, women, and ehit. dren within her~-borders; the British empire comes next. with 3S1. .037 ,S74 subjects, including the dusky fanatics of the Soudan; and the Russian en- pire is third, 129 ,211,113 persons owing allegiance to the czar. No other na- tion, however, can show such rapid increase as that Of the United States. George Washington was president of nation numbering fewer than 3,000.- GOO individuals. It took 20 years for the population to double In 1910 it was 7,239, ,8S1 in 1920 it had reached only $685. 1922, and 10 years later the total 12,86602O. From this time on it advanced by leaps and bounds. In 1S40 it was IT 7,009. .453, in 1850 it was g, 191 ,876, in 1860 1t had reached 31.- 443,321, and 30 years ago the census showed a population of 3S, ,55S,371. It did not pass the 50,000,O00 mark until 1880, when it was 50,1 ,7s3, and the last enumeration, 1890, gave total Of 62,622 ,250.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

strain it into the can and place in a
tank of cold water or run through the
separator if ore is used. If ice is

practically all the ream will be OBJ

mornings milk if the best grade of
butter is expected.
Change the water in the tank often
enough to prevent its becoming foul.
If the water is kept at about fifty-fve
degrees, practically all the cream will
rise in twenty-four hours. Skim and
when enough is obtained for a churn-

sixty-fve degrees to ripen. Hasten
the ripening by using sour skimmilk

ty-fve degrees; in summer ffty-fve
to sixty is preferable. AS soon as the
yranufes are the size of wheat grains,
draw off and wash until all the butter
milk is removed. Work, salt and
market as soon as possible. If you
are SO unfortunate as to get a poor
grade of butter it must be consumed
