WHY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have Morv Leisure Time Than Men saa
 Naturally Think Over Things.

From time immemorial women have been told-by women, as well as men. though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom- en are so hedged about by the little- ness of their protected lives-for 1t Is the protected woman who does the most worrying-~that 1t is hard to see beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- GUS. If women had the capacity with men ot getting up ana doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels that he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make stuff. cient money to pay his debts-some time. Women look al 1t more prac- tiealIy, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the eime. Let him become i'll, though, and have to stop his work. and how is il with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested In the present; nor about his clothes. for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters-they from his point of view, are too trivia until he comes home to 8 badly cook ed dinner, and then i'll his broad out. look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- ploye does not do his work properly his employer gets some one who can, a method that will yet come to be a powerful lever in the leveling of wom@ sn's worries Detroit Free Press.

 Persons who receive seeds from the United States department of agrieul- ture through the courtesy of their rep resentative in congress find some curi- 5us information printed on the pack cts. Thus, eannas, which convey to the ordinary mind an idea of a large- leafed plant attractive for grouping III large lawns, are stated on the agri- cultural department packages to be @an interesting genus. the under ground stems of which are eaten in Peru" Also from some unknown species the famous tous-les-mois, valuable arrow-root is made The seed, which IS said hy Lindley to be esed as substitute for coffee, is soma- times used as shot," The lonely su- burban dweller may find this hint use- znl: Tt will keep for thirty years and lien yegetate.' The old-fashioned narigold is said to have "repute in domestic medicines as cure for Geasles; used in soups, also to make kind of vinegar" The common zin- nias derive their name from "Profes- sor Finn, German botanist." Lark spurs botanical name is "delphinum from dolphin, a dolphin, referring to he supposed resemblance In the nec- tary of the plant to the imaginary fig tres of the dolphins." All the papers ef seeds sent out by the department rear the request, Please report the result of your trial to this depart ment."

r'riyate houses are now rented under the Spanish school system, which pre- vided that the teachers, with their families, should live in such houses, the rent being part payment for their services. They also collected fees from children whose parents could pay. The balance of their compensation was of ten much in arrears, and many of the teachers have not been paid for their work for the past two and one-half years prior to American occupation. Mo one is allowed olive in the school houses now. The salaries range from $50 to $75 per month, according to the size of the municipality. The principals receive $10 extra per month. No cer- tificates are required of the teachers this year, but will be after Aug. 1. The teachers are appointed by the local boards of education, which in turn are appointed by the mayors.

Georgia Lawyers Banded Over Their

Georgia has stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying a fine of S50 or being impris- oned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in little town, when suddenly he suspended the trial of case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the courthouse. "Gentlemen," said the judge when tho doors were closed, "I have just seen a pistol on a man in this room, and cannot reconcile 1t to my sense of duty to let such violation of this law pass unnotieed. I ought perhaps to go be-
 fore the grand jury and indfct him. but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and fine of $1 down here I will let him off this time" The judge paused, and law yer sitting just before him got up. slipped his hand into a hip noHket

The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand, together with nineteen dollars by their side The judge laughed as he com plimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but add. ed that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come up, and. glaneing at the far side of the court, he continued: "I will give him one minute to accept my proposition, aud if he fails will hand him over to the sheriff. Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and begaA to move toward the judges stand.

Speed of Ocean Llnora

In an article in Gassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, MT. Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at greater rate tha1 fifteen miles an hour, that of the fastest liner. Scotia. Today steamers have reached the speed of twenty-five miles an hour. And, although the power required to prope1 a steamer varies w1th the cube of the speed, yet, before third of the next century expires, another increase of at least 50 per cent in ocean speed may be safely predicted. The con- struction of steamer of 65,000 tons will probably not trouble the con- struotors of the future nearly as much as did the building of the Great East srn those of the past.

Despite recent reverses in backing

ter at the 3-cushion game. In discuss
ing the matter Yesterday Feldstine
said:
Il have backed Carter against Cat
ton twice-once in game of so
points 3-cushion, and then. believing
that longer game favored nv man,
made a match of 100 points for $500 a
side. Cation won both times and /
was loser to the extent of about ST.

| whom think one of the greatest of
living billiard players, but l am rath-
er tired of backing him.
What | would like to do would be
to make a match with any two play
ers in the world at 3-cushion caroms,
100 points up, for from $1,000 to
50, 900 side. will back Cation and
Carter against any two men in the
world to play such match. | will
| not promise to find all the stake money

| would like to have Jake Schaefer and

if they cannot see their way clear to
that. let either one or the other take it
up and find such partner as he may
see fit. see there are n lot of anna
teurs making runs of 10 about the
