Girls Take Naturally to Carpentry.

A course of lectures on education
was inaugurated the other day in Asso-
citation hall by the committee on do
mestic economy in the Woman's Edu-
cation association. DR.. John Dewey,
professor of pedagogy in Chicago uni
versity, was the speaker. In the
course of his address he said:
THE introduction of domestic econ
omy in the schools is largely along the
line of future service for girls, and is
wise innovation. In my experience
boys are no more proficient in carpen-
try work than girls, and the same may
be said of cooking in the elementary
grades, for it is child's nature to
speculate on what's coming next, and
cooking and carpentry offer good sub
jects in that direction. Boston Her.

coast Notifications. and complete in
every detail. the world-famed Gruson
turret. Not only is the plant assured,
but work has actually commenced on
the erection of the necessary build
ings, and to such an extent have the
plans progressed that the casting of
the plates for the initial turret could,
if required. be commenced in six
months hence.
The raison d'etre of the new indus.
try is primarily the recommendation
of the Endicott board OF ordnance and
Notifications, calling for emplace-
ments for % turrets at coast points
of the United States; but in the main
the new plant owes its being to the
conditions which confronted this coun-
try on the breaking out of war with
Spain in 1898. and to existing condi-
tions which make imperative the
adoption of a system impregnable to
gun attack.
The new organization is called the
Gruson Iron Works. and will carry on
the manufacture OF all descriptions of
chilled iron-work and heavy castings
requiring special strength and resis-
tance for naval and marine work.
The interests associated with the
new company include the largest man.
ufacturers of chilled iron in America,
and the works will be equipped with
everything requisite for the manufac-
ture of the largest chilled castings
to which the particular plant for fin
ishing Gruson turrets can be quick
ly added.
The site for the new works is on
the banks of the Delaware at the
little town of Eddystone, and distant
only few miles from the city Of
Chester, Penn. This site was select
ed largely because of its tide-water
facilities, and with special reference
to the needs which must arise incident
to the shipment of heavy turret equip.

In nearly all of the principal cities
of China native sewing women are to
be seen seated on low stools or per-
haps on the sidewalk, mending articles
of masculine wearing apparel. The ac-
complishments of these street seam
stresses are somewhat limited. Their
efforts with the needle being confined
as a rule to running" Other branches
of needlework are practically un-
known to them. AS consequence
their efforts are better appreciated by
natives than by American or English
travellers. They are never short of
patrons among the Chinese tradesmen
for these have come to the city to en-
gage in business and have no one to
mend a rent for them, their wives
being left at home, and they are glad
to employ street needle women. For
this class of customers the skill of
these sewing women answers every
purpose.

Satin foulard is one of the smartest
of spring fabrics.
Polka dote and hemstitching are
prominent features of the latest neck
wear.
Mercerized linens are the top-notch
of the mode for the coming shirt
waist.
Gold effects, finished with gold ferret
buttons, are salient features of the
newest waist girdles.
Blue and black Isle stockings for
spring, with three embroidered clocks,
come for wear with tan Oxfords.
All bishop sleeves for shirtwaists
have narrow bandlike cuffs, so the
link cuff buttons may be laid away.
Chiffon, net and point d'esprit fichus
are to be more worn this summer than
last, but sailor collars and revers will
be quite passe.
Lace has only a secondary place as
trimming this season. even the
sheerest of materials being ornament
ed with embroidery instead.
Three shaped founces. one over
tapping the other about two inches,
and covering a space of Is inches
from the hem up, make very pretty

The different shades of red are all
fashionable this spring, and some of

rate trimmings of ecru or guipure lace,
again left open with no relief.
A novelty is waistcoat of yellow
lace. 1t is made with very long

The maid servants of Monette, Mo-,
known as the "Housemaids' Club for
the protection of their own interests,
Whenever a member loses her place
she brings the matter up before the
club, stating her grievances. A vote is
taken. If she is sustained the whole
club set themselves to work to find
her new position. But the vote must
be unanimous. If there is any oppo-
sition she leaves the place at her own
risk. The girls take pride in keeping
up a good standard Of work, but the
following rules show how fully they
look after their own interests:

on the number of callers that girl is
allowed to entertain. She must be per-

Golf gloves are hard to find-that is
Just what one would wish. The heavy
kid, with the holes in the back and in
the palm to give ventilation, protect
the hands very satisfactorily, as do
also the gloves of wash leather. But
there are some gloves made for golf
or for driving that are made of silk
mesh, looking like the crochet or net
ted work on the purses. These have
kid palms, with holes for ventilation.
They are cool, wash well, and the kid
on the palms protects the hands very
satisfactorily. They are expensive and
hard to find, but are exceedingly
smaH for any one who wishes to carry
out her fancy Of wearing all white.
Nothing looks better, for with a pique
skirt the ordinary white kid glove Of
either glace or seude seems out of
place, whereas these gloves look what
they were designed to look-useful,
and made for a certain purpose. The
plain white chamois or wash leather
serve the purpose when these special
golf gloves are not to be found

"How are new fashions created?"
is a question that must certainly sug-
gest itself now and then to women.
Those unacquainted with Paris
chiffon and its mysteries probably
suppose that the fashion artist spends
much time in studying the harmoni-
Gus contours of his favorite model,
with her elegant figure, reposeful air
and graceful attitudes, which lend
themselves to the varied manifesto
tions of his genius. They picture her
patiently submitting to the enervating
manipulations of the essayeuse, who
tries, measures, selects and discards
according to the capricious combina-
tions of a chief who changes his mind
with q suddenness born of genius in
search of the ideal Finally, they
fondly imagine, he arrests the essay
euse's movements with a nervous, i'm
perious gesture. He has found his
ideal. The new fashion is evolved.
Alas, this romantic conception is
seldom realized. A fashion does not,
as rule, emerge-complete, unique,
perfect-from the brain of one sartor-
ial genius, however eminent. More Of
ten it results from the collation. of iso-
lated ideas, which, floating in the am
bient air, are studied, analyzed and
materialized. But after what efforts,
failures and notifications!
Fashions frequently originate in the
fertile brains of Montmartre artists,
hundreds of whom are constantly de-
signing, inventing and copying. They
derive inspiration from pictures of the
dogaressas of the fifteenth century, the
marquises of the seventeenth century
and the elegantes of the empire.
These painted beauties furnish their
modern sisters with many lesson in
coquetry and adornment. Methods
differ in various houses, of course, but
as rule any sketch, idea, design or
suggestion is Immediately on receipt
submitted to the chief. He forms his
opinion. Then, discreetly, he consults
two or three of his principal collabora-
tors in whose judgment he has perfect
confidence. Expert in the art of Sc
lection, endowed with an artistic in
tuition fortified by the ripest COM
mercial and social experience, they are
qualified to decide. Should the idea
be adopted, the house imparts life
and grace to the conception, adapting
the picturesque sketch of the artist 70

shoulder to belt. The fronts. finished
with the usual box-plait, are laid in
small tucks or plaits in the shoulder
seam.
Several varieties of sailor blouse
have appeared with the regulation
deep collar and shield. One form of
collar is developed into revers in front,
with the usual sailor-back.

is another fashionable model the over

A very peculiar bridge is being con-
structed over the Mary river. at Mary
borough, Queensland, in that it is be-
ing designed so that it's surface will
be submerged several times during
the year at the seasons of high floods.
The idea in building the bridge in
this way is to save the material that
would be required to build it sufficient
ly high to escape submersion at high
water. The country on the banks of
the Mary river lies so low that the ap-
proaches would have to be extraordi-
narily long to be entirely out of the
water during floods, and this would
have involved an immense expense,
so that it was decided to disregard
the floods, and build the bridge for
use during low water. and employ
boats during the comparatively short
time that the water would cover the
bridge. The bridge will clear by 12
feet and six inches at ordinary high
water. The highest flood level is SO
feet, so that at times the bridge will
be submerged more than 20 feet.

The Pearl and Its Microbe.

Women who are fortunate enough
to possess pearls wear them constantly.
In so doing it is said that they pre-
vent their being injured by microbe
which attacks them when they are
laid away. This little parasite eats
through the outer coating of the pearl,
destroying its beautiful sheen and
leaving only the duh substance un-
derneath.

Since the installation of the machine
at Bradford it has been discovered

In spinning asbestos and peat moss,
or in fact. any other substance that
has sufficient staple to hold in the
form of textile. The work of the
machine is so carefully and excellently
done that it is almost impossible to
tell what the original material was
that has been spun into the fabric.
Just what commercial name will be
given to the spun flax waste or what
it will be used for has not been de.
termined, but doubtless it will be
found available for many purposes
that require coarse, hard fabric.

by the fire brigade of that city. Each
fire-cart is provided with portable
telephone apparatus which can be at
tached to the alarm pillars in various
parts of the city. and operaed with
the same wires employed for tele-

the switching in of the telephone in
no way influences the telegraph SER

is perceptible in the telephone. but

In 1889 the production of aluminium
in the United States was about %
tons and in other countries II tons,
while in 1900 the United States pro-
duced about 1000 tons and other
countries about 1900. Copper tele-

twice as heavy as aluminium in order
to do the same work. and 6000 tons Of
aluminium used for sheathing or roofs

In the island of Cyprus is basin
cut off from the sea. although sunk
slightly below sea-level. which con-
tains salt lake from which con-
siderable harvest of salt is annually
obtained in August, when the fierce
summer heat dries up the water. G.
V. Bellamy. who recently visited the
lake called Larnarca. thinks sea-water
percolates through the rocks into the
basin, thus supplying the salt. A
single heavy rain in midsummer has
sometimes sufficed to ruin the salt
crop, and the Cyprians. in order to
protect the valuable lake as much as
possible, have constructed channels to
carry off the flood water of rains from
the slopes of the basin into the sea.
