~1 WHERE WOMEN RULE THEIR HUSBANDS, bo

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
Some interesting facts bearing upon the
modes and customs of the Buriats. by far
the most important of the Moneol tribes
inhabitating the steppes OF Mongolia. have
been brought 10 light by explorers and
pieasure-seekers in that country.
Buriat women have one privilege which
is not accorded their sisters. even in a coun-
try like America. This has to do with their
possessions. 1t is a singular fact that among
them all property rights are vested in the
women. and many of them are extremely
wealthy in the commodities that go to make
up wealth in their native land.
Tht property of Buriat women usually con-
sists of great numbers of horses. cattle and
sheep. One cheftess was said not long ago
to possess 4o000 sheep, 10,OG0 horses and s.
oe0 horned cattle. They also have immense
collections OF valuable furs. and their dow
ries are usually paid in these articles. That
of an especially wealthy bride has been
fixed at forty cases of sables.
In the matter Of head dress the women
of the tribe particularly vain and they
expend exorbitant sums in keeping abreast
of the styles they understand them. In
this respect they resemble the women of
Zealand and Frisia, although the style of
head dress is quite different in the two
cases.
Equestrian fetes are as popular with the
Buriats to-day as they have ever been at

ELECTRIC BURGLAR TRAP
PHOTOGRAPHS MARAUDERS

Electricity operates burglar trap. con-
ssting of a camera and fiash,ight apparat-
us. installed recently in Chicago. The up-to
date battery is set off unconsciously by the
burglar himself. The device. it has been
found frightens away the marauder with
the dazzling flash and retains some very i'm
portant testimony of his visit for future, use
in the bargain
Most burglars would prefer to face bat
terry of firearms than this apparently HARM
less looking contrivance.
The camera used for the purpose Is placed
facing the window or door where the bur
glar may be expected to enter 1t is focused
carefully upon the window frame or door,
way, and the lens is uncapped. The fash
light Is placed near by and behind the cam
era. The electrical apparatus is so arranged
that the opening of the window or door will
close the circuit ana ignite the flashlight
powder.
The wires can also be arranged so that
when the burglar steps upon board be-
meath the window. or even upon the carpet,
the light will also be set off
In the tests which have been made some
excellent photographs were obtained They
showed in every case the would-be marau-

boys insanity is so violent and persistent

regain his senses.
In his delirium he cries frequently. and
has done so since the first:
Il told that man not TO hypnotize me.'
Il don't want to be hypnotized"
please get my mind back for me-"
over and over again these cries are ut
tered. They have given rise to the suspicion
that the boy had been hypnotized that he
was still under hypnotic influence and that
he would remain until the man who
hypnotiZed him was found to relieve him
DeVere lived at Pottsvie, Pa. and was
afflicted first on April % At his home the
previous evening his parents noticed that he
was apparently excited He was rather
nervous when he went to he'd The next
morning he was much worse, and in the

Charm and Easiness of
the Rolling Collar.

Fancy fabrics in bathing costumes arc not
citfer good taste, nor are they generally be-
coming. Few women are becomingly at
tired in spots and bars. either in hosiery or
the garment itself.
The sailor collar. the well-turned. broad.
rolling form. with its brilliant tie knotted
in sailor fashion below. falling over the
blouse waist either sleeveless or with very
short sleeves. is he proper idea, the prac-
teal and the best form which could posi-
bly, be arranged for society wear.
1t is not only suggestive of the water it
self-the sea-but there is an easness, a
grace and absence Of rigid lines which is at
once becoming and graceful to the eye The
tight-fitting bathing costume for women is
an abomination. They are seldom seen, and
even then the purpose of overdsplaying the
form is frustrated and the effect is horrible

English Girls Wear Pajamas

This is French bathing. And English

They also wonder how the suit is going to
look next year-at least the practical wom-

women and all practical persons do not want
to throw away an expensive suit after one

better the making, the more beautiful the

is to be good investment.
Next to the brlliantines come series of

CENSUS REPORTS.
Some Interesting Information as to
Population of the United States.

Pittsboro Record.
From the first volume of the census
reports of 1900, just out, we nave
takent the trouble to compile some
statistics az to the population Of the
United States, that may interest our
readers.
The population OF the United States,
including Alaska and Hawaii, was
IS, 3O4 2S7 in June, 1900. This is an
increase Of u per cent. on the popu
lation OF 1899. North Cardinals pop
ulation WAS 1898, $40, an increase of
II per cent. in ten years. The largest
per cent. Of increase was in Oklahoma
Territory. which in 1899 had a popu-
latiOn of 7S,475 and in 1900 had
population of 1913, 331. Nevada is the
only State that shows an actual de-
crease in population. Rhode Island
is the most deRsely settled State,
having 4O7 inhabitants to the square
mile. The centre of population is in
Northern Indiana, near the city Of
Columbus. At the first census. in
1879, the centre Of population was 20
miles East Of Baltimore. There are
10, 500 incorporated cities and towns
of all sizes, containing population Of
80, $40, jl6, SO that over half Of our
people live in the country. There
are about million and az more
males than females, So Their. is no ex-
cuse for here being any ''old maids"
There are lO,341.276 foreign born
DprSOnS and North Carolina has ha
smallest per cent. of them Of all the
States. There are S,S4O,1S9 persons
OF negro descent.

MOUNTAIN GROANEO.
Throes of Nature as Observed Before
Pelee Burst Then Came a Vast
Upheaval.

POKT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, May IS.
The following account Of the Marti-
nique catastrophe is narrated by eye
witnesses who were on the schooner
Gabrielle:
The sun rose clear over St Pierre
at q O't Ock on the morning Of May =.
Mount Pelee was smoking to the
North and the wind was blowing
Westward. Shortly befrre o'clock
q big white column belched forth
from an apparently new crater about
200 yards below the original crater,
opening a deep rent from the top to
the bottom of the mountain, and
causing a general panic among the
people, who fled toward the seashors
with frightened screams in evident
anticipation of what was to follow.
A little after 7 O'Clock those on the
Gabrielle observed small yacht with
the Governor and a scientific commits
sion leave St Pierre, going toward
La Prsacheur.
At $50 a terrible grooming was
heard from the mountain, followed
by gigantic mass of tire, which ap-
peared to fall with frightful rapidity
over the city. In short time ST.
Pierre was reduced to ruins
In the roadstead the sounds of the
swapping and falling of masts and the
oyerturning and sinking OF vessels
were mingled with the cries of suffer
crs
Although the volcanic action SEEM
ed to have diminished when the sur
viyors left, large blocks OF lava were
still being vomited forth, and nothing
remained of st. Pierre except vast
heaps of rnins, resembling an i'm
mense furnace. In the opened spaces
large numbers Of partly burned and
asphy1iated bodies were discernible.
The day before the disaster a scien-
tiilc commission presided over by the
Governor assembled at St. Pierre for
the purpose OF studying the volcanic
disturbance OF Mt. Pelee. The mem
bers agreed that the relative position
OF the craters and valleys debouching
on the sea permitted them to declare
that the security Of St. Pierre was
