For the new Mountmellick work
comes numerous designs In graceful
patterns. Conventional designs IN
scrolls and delicate traceries in leaves
and five conventionalized fruits and
flowers are the most popular, the
wreaths and corners are shown in large
sprays of fruit and leaves where the
stems are stiff and heavy. The fine and
heavy are alike developed in white
cotton and every stitch known to en-
broiderers is used in working these
pieces. The material for table pieces

ABOUT EATING MUCH Mksr.
Dsvoaring Unnecessary QUAINT tics OF Food
Brings Us Suffering.

Oovourtng Unnecessery Quent ties OF rooo
Brings Us Suffering.
Il is q frequently discussed fact
that Americans. as a rule, eat too
much meat In European countries,
even in England. the land Of four
meals a day, there is not so much
meat consumed as in the average
American Lousehold, whose 'nha5i-
tants belong to the elastic class OF
well-to-do." Taking the naturally
nervous constitution of most A;acri-
cans, the national lack of systematic
exercise, the general preponderance OF
sedentary occupations, all of which
operate against the digestion and as
sanitation of such quantities of meat,
it is not difficult to trace many of the
ills which flesh is heir to back to the
quantity Of meat consumed per alem.
Thvre are many scientists in the
world who allege that all of us overeat
regularly and systematically. consum-
ing vast quantities of food over and
above what the body demands, and
suffering consequently. Physicians
and dietists are constantly endeavor-
ing to win the world over to simpler
and more abstemious living, and 1t IL
almost common now for a physician
who has had the advantage Of the
most modern teaching to advocate abb
soluts fasting during illness.
1t is unquestionable that II We
could all follow Pope ~Leo's methods
of eating little fruit for breakfast,
a little soup and vegetable for dinner
and fruit again, with crIsty bread,
for supper, we might live to be as old
as he is, but such reformation in
our ways is scarcely possible in a
single generation. Particularly In
summer weather, when every extra
ounce put into the stomach robs US of
Just SO much energy, should we make
stringent reforms in the butchers
bill. Once day from June to Octo-
Der for meat Is more than sufficient
and is the first step toward reform.
Three times a week Is better; once
week still better, and II we could
force ourselves to do without flesh en-
tirely for that period we should DO
triply the better for it. Vegetables,
fresh and crisp, uncooked or simply
prepared with little butter and sea-
soning; fruit, plenty Of it. ripe and
sweet; salads at all times and Of all
varieties, and whole wheat or crusty
brown loaves-these would work d.
rect reformation in the summer
health for most of us.

gratuity."
The employment las been furnished
by nature; the land and the man are
the two factors needed to produce
wealth. Yet when the land is monopo-
lized its owners can demand as the
price Of the chance for employment
all the laborer can make above bare
living. And so by confusion OF
thought they are accredited with fur
nishing the employment itself. Wero
rivers subject entirely to private own
ership we would be told that tnt
waterlords provided the water which
is essential to life.
While monopoly is as wrong when
enjoyed by thousand as when en-
loved by one man, the mass Of man
kind seen unable to realize its in
justice until the profits concentrate IN
few hands. Large estates arouse the
greatest popular antagonism to land
lordism, and the rapid growth OF rev
monopolies like the Standard Oil Is
arousing antagonism to the private
ownership of such natural resources as
oil, coal, and iron. That these are
the common property of the race is
coming to be recognized more clearly
every day, and the rightfulness OF per-
hitting them to be owned by indivi-
duals is being questioned even by those
usually classed as conservative think
ers. But this fundamental and all
embracing truth needs to be pro-
claimed-that all land is a natural re-
source which cannot justly be owned.
The earth is the only source of en-
ployment, and when 1t is subject to
private ownership 1.-The chance to

monize the equal rights of all men to
the earth (Which means to any portion
of it, with the individual possession
necessary to secure to each the re-
suits of his toll is the purpose OF the
single tax, which would destroy mono
poly of land and natural resources and
yet leave the individual free to en-
ploy his labor as he chose and to en-
Joy the fruits thereof

japan. First Lady and E.rl.na.

There is no more ardent admirer
among foreign royalties of England
and all things English than the en-
press of Japan, who, with her hus-
band, has done so much to develop
her country on western lines. The
empress, who has been married thirty
years and has family of five chill
dren, is still as essentially young and
vigorous as any Of them. Every day
she spends an hour in her private
gymnasium in the palace at Toxic, and
she is said to be one of the most skill
full horsewomen in Japan.

Noiseless baseball, as distinguished
from the game played largely with the
lungs, may not be so far distant as II
seems to many respondent lovers OF
a sportsmanlike game. A graduate
publication, representing well-known
college, declares that the adoption OF a
noiseless game would do more good
to that institution than winning the
championship. The campaign motto
of a baseball nine ought to be, give
an opponent every opportunity to dc
his best-and then beat him" A row.
DIV may resort to barbaric yells as
means of defeating an antagonist, but

New Jail IOnlyOne
Of Its Kind.
Conveniently Arranged
and ImpregnabIe.
Plenty Of Air and Light
For Prisoners.
Plans Commended. by State
Board Of Charities.

Prisoners in the new Summit county
Jail, when it is complete will have a
temporary home second to none of Its
kind in the United States. Each pris.
oner will be able 10 see out and find
out just what the outside world and
the free air is like, and will have a
window that can be opened without
a chance Of his getting away. These
windows all open on a central court
and. are the inlets for the light that
feeds the entire interior of the Jail, ac-
cording to the plans now being finish
ed by Architect +. o. Weary. The
central inner court will have no roof
and will enable the prisoners to have
the air as well ns the light.
Between the captive and the actual
court will be two screens, besides the
window, which can be opened or shut
by the guard or deputy without the
possibility of interference by the pris-
oner.
BY an ingenious arrangement prison
crs may all take the air at the same
time, from their windows, and yet no
one of them will be able to see any
other who is in captivity at the same
time.
On the third floor will be Il double row
of larger cells than those on the other
two floors. These will be reserved for
women, prisoners detained for minor
offenses, or any persons whom the
Sheriff may not wish to have among
the rows of cells reserved for more
desperate characters.
The jail will have normal capacity
of 36 cells. Provision is made for a
hospital, baths. toilets. wash bowls,
places for washing clothes and will be
a model of foresight and convenience,
The interior is arranged so that es-
cape will be apparently impossible
and the outer walls are so planned
that the place will be fortress. Tow
ers at the corners enable enfilading
each side. Port holes for guards or
soldiers. If necessary, are, arranged
and 1t is safe to say that n repetition
of last years performance would be
successful at the new jail only after
a protracted siege.
The plans have the warm endorse
ment of the State Board Of Charities

of transportation. II is now announced
that after many inspections of the
Erie railroad, and careful considera-
tion of its resources, President Under
wood has decided that at least $780,
600 can be saved annually by abolish
ing certain Offices. He is opposed to
having a larger number of high sal
aried officials than necessary. When

general managers than section men,
