ART IN r


The artistic faculty is one of the in
herited traits of m 1t is betrayed
in her earliest efforts at adornment OF
her person and surroundings. 1t is the
temperament of woman, as we'll as her
natural birthright, to guard the beauti-
full in life, and to make her whole ex-
istence a visible manifestation of it.
Civilization has given to her oppor-
tunitles in this direction denied her in
the past, says the Ledger Monthly.
She has been ~emancipated from the
slavery of conditions which narrowed
and destroyed those possibilities of per-
sonal expression born within her. Yet
even in barbaric times she was not
blind to the influence of personal
adornment. The evolution of her dress
may have been from the rude blanket
n wild boar's skin to the modern
silks and furs of u~nrivalled beauty and
picturesqueness; but there was al
ways, even in the beginning, a method
of wearing the garments that betrayed
the dormant gifts. She could be artis-
tic even with the simplest and rudest of
garments.
The art of dress becomes a factor of
Importance, not only in the life of the
woman who devotes her time to it, but
in all those who associate with her.
The expression of her artistic tempera-
ment may be manifested in no other
way than that of dress, and yet she
may produce In effect of Unreasonable
Importance On the world. 1t is hardly
consistent to belittle the effect of wom-
ans dress even when carried to an ex-
IRENE, and thoughts of it absorb all
other considerations of life. The paint
er is justified, according to human
standards, in devoting all his time and
strength to the production of beauty on
his canvas; and the poet is considered
legitimately employed if he merely
strives to express in the highest artistic
form those thoughts and emotions of
which come to him in the highest
degree. The decorator, the musician
and the singer are all appealing to the
sense of sight OF hearing through beau
tiful forms of sound.
The woman who understands the art
of personal adornment finds gratifca-
ton of artistic expression in her dress.
ohe studies it from many points of
view; considers the harmony of colors
and style; views herself apart from her
personality and environments; and
in the whole work a service of
love which is little lower than that
which the poet or painter feels for his
productions. Dress performs the dou-
bic task for woman of adjoining her
and of conserving her health; it should
a~ntagonistic to neither. 1t should
the outer expression of her mind
and temperament and at the same time
consistent with the laws of health and
strength.

HANDBOOK MEMORIES.

1t was this way. Brown, putting 1t
plainly, is fat. Some of his friends
with cannibalistic imaginations saw
that he is fat enough to butcher. But
let that pass. He is fat, and the other
night, shirt open at the collar. damp
hair spread at will, and fan going like
a pendulum of a grandfather's clock.
ne served notice that he was going to
stretch a hammock in the back yard
and sleep there. Mrs. Brown made the
foolish suggestions of burglars, Group,
and neuralgia, but he was fixed In his
purpose.
Brown is the best and most reliable
sleeper in town. The storm came with
It's deluge. The swaying hollyhocks
banged him in the face, and the swing
ing branches of the big maple tried to
bat him out of the hammock. But
they only rocked him, and the rain
cooled him. His visions were a charm
until he dreamed that he was Cadillac,
standing at the prov of his bateau and
going for the foot of Randolph street
as though pursued by a sea serpent
of the New York yellow journal breed.
All would have gone well, as a
nightmare, but he sprang to his feet
with a valiant shout, waved an i'm
aginary sword, pitched about like a
dugout in a maelstrom, went over
board head first, and came down hard
on a sidewalk.
Brown is all right unless complica-
lions set in, but one side of his scalp
is trying to grow on again, his left
ear fops, he has an arm in a sling,
and there is a towel over one eye. The
moral he draws is that once in 200
years is a great plenty.-Detroit Free

Juvenile courts and the system of
probation for young offenders have
proved so successful In Eastern cities.
especially In Boston, that much good
was expected from the introduction OF
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing. The fundamental idea
of the system is that for a first offense
a young lawbreaker shall be placed on
probation, during the term of which he
4s to be under the care of suitable per-
sons. In Chicago at least twenty-five
probation officers are needed. The CITY
appointed only five, each of whom has
charge of about three hundred bows
and the whole fifteen hundred are
herded together in a reformatorv
school which does not reform but cor
rupts. It is a pity that American cities
are so slow to learn that anything
which prevents an increase in the num-
Der Of criminals is a saving in dollars
and cents, to say nothing of the moral
gain.

For a century and a half after the
public schools were established in
America girls were not admitted to
them at all; in the latter part of the
eighteenth century they were allowed
to attend only from April to October,
the months when only the little boys
were in attendance, and a cheaper and
less competent teacher was employed.
After the girls were given this ex-
traordinary privilege of education the
fathers" of the various towns began
concerning themselves with the amour
of learning that the girls might proper
ly acquire, says Woman's Home Com
panion. On the records of n old New
England town is actually entered this
bit of report from the annual town
school meeting: "It is the sense of
the meeting that the girls should not
be taught the back part of the arithme-
tic"

A pleasant accompaniment of the
hot weather this summer is the in

teamsters to provide ttheir horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-

which the horses ears protrude. Some
of the teamsters who have feminine
friends and a sense of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
fon, bright-colored ribbons or a gaudy
quill. The hats themselves are a con-
siderable protection against the sun,
and when, al is usual, a wet sponge
is placed in the crown, the horse a

The Kongo ivory as, indeed, all At
rican ivory, is far more highly priced
than the Asiatic product. 1t is harder,
of a finer grain, lends itself more east
ly to workmanship, and has fewer ifs
sures. The tusks of Kongo elephants
are as a rule very large and weigh on
an average of 60 pounds. Some of
them are of extraordinary size. At the
Brussels exhibition a pair If tusks
were on show each of which weighed
156 pounds.

A rare phenomenon attended an
earthquake that visited a little town
in Mexico recently. Having wrecked
several houses in the town the tremor
passed on to a lake in the neighbor-
hood, the waters of which it put into
violent agitation. The agitation ceased
after a few minutes, and then the
water gradually disappeared. leaving
the bottom of the lake exposed, when
it was seen that the earthquake had
opened a assure in the bottom and
thus drained it.

that the national officers of the Anal
gamated Association Of Iron, Tin and
Steel Workers had misrepresented the
attitude of the United States Steel cor
poratiOn toward organized labor in Or
der to get members Of the association.
out on strike were made by Former
Vice President J. D. Hickey at the
meeting of the Bay View lodge yester-
day. In a cool, unpassiOned manner
Mr.. Hickey gave the members of the
lodge the result of his recent trip to
Pittsburg, where he went for the pur-
pose of investigating the situation in
regard to the steel strike and the situ-
alton as summed up by ME-. Hickey
was that the strike appears to be lost
and it may take years to repair the
damage to the association which has
already been done. Mr.. Hickeys re-
port was listened to by all the men with
respectful attention. Mr.. Hickey made
no recommendation to the lodge as to
their future action, but it is believed
that his speech may cause a change in
sentiment not only at Bay View, but in,
other places in the fourth district. Mr..
Hickey went into details for the pur-
pose of showing that Secretary Tighe
and president Shaffer had misrepre-
scented the facts when they appealed to-
the members of the association to
strike on the ground that the steel COR
poration was determined to crush Or
ganized labor and ruin the Amalgam-
ated association. He maintained that
the proposition offered by Mr.. Morgan
had been eminently satisfactory and
should have been accepted right there
gy President Shaffer if he had had the
interests Of his fellow workers at heart.
Mr.. Hickey reported that Y per cent of
the mills were now working, and in his
opinion the strike is practically lost.
