NO LEGAL KNOWLEDGE.
Women in General Are WOfulIy De-
ficient in Understanding
of the Law.

A compulsory legal education law
for women was the suggestion of Miss
Harriet A. Keyser at recent meeting
of the Legislative League in the Tux
edo. Miss Keyser deplored the igno-
rance of women regarding their own
standing, reports the New York Trib-
une. Men as we'll as women she has
found sadly wanting in knowledge
where wills are concerned, and be-
Heved that natural Incidence is at the
bottom of it, although she admitted
that everything about the law is tire
some. One woman said the lawyers do
not know it all. She never feels safe
on a legal question until she has con-
suited at least 10 members Of the bar.
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake, who
presided, said that there are still %
states in which women have no right
to their own children. Illinois and
Connecticut have, within a,year or so,
been added to the number of those
where the mother owns her child.
Mrs. Blake believed that the root and
groundwork of woman's oppression as
it existed so years and more ago was
the eating of the historic apple by

Leads All United States Ports Except
New York in Tonnage and
Fourth in the World.

In the 80 years since 1870, Chicago's
shipping has more than quadrupled
and in the tonnage of arrivals and
clearances Chicago now ranks fourth
among the ports of the world, follow
ing London, New York and Hamburg,
saws the New York Sun.
The latest figures relating to this
matter are: London, 16,529,O95 tons;
New York, 16,445,32O; Hamburg, A..
1913, s17; Chicago, 14,1s6, 100; Antwerp
10, ,472; Liverpool, 11,S1s,OOO, and
Marseilles, 0,629,114.
Chicago leads all United States ports
except New York in tonnage and the
constant extension of lake traffic has
added not only to the commerce Of
Chicago, but likewise very largely to
the commerce of Cleveland, now very
important port of entry; Detroit, Buf-
falo, Milwaukee, Duluth and Toledo.
The chief articles of commerce on
the lakes are wheat, -four, coal, iron
and lumber. In 1871 the number of
bushels of wheat passing through the
500 canal was / ,376,7O while last year
the number of bushels was 6O,OoO,oOo
or more than 40 times as much as in
1871.

WITH SUMMER GOWNS.
Pretty Accessories That Are to De
Worn During the Coming
Season.

Natural kid slippers are shown
with gun metal buckles and strap
pings. A new chain composed of am
Der beads strung on a gold cord is
very effective. Other novelties are
roughly cut stones attached by fine
links, SAYS the American Queen.
Elaborate imported parasols have
inset lace motifs combined with
hand embroidery and painting, the
lace being outlined by pearls. The
handles are of mother of pearl with
decorations of jewels initiating flow
ers. Rainbow tinted satin forms the
lining.
Gloves of summer tints have but
tons to match in color and mits OF
silk are laced with jeweled chains.
An odd couture has three little
coils low in the neck under four SIM
liar ones higher up and slightly dag

curls, each a different length.
Quaint little blouses are made OF

INDEPENDENT DUTCH GIRLS.
Mafdens Of Holland Take Fun Adj
vantage of All Educational
Opportunities.

The mass of the children of Holland
NAV always be found in the public
schools. and in these institutions there
are no distinctions of rank, so that
the high and lowly commingle on
terms of perfect equality. Education
begins at six years of age in the pub
lie schools, and at II girl is examined
and passes on for a five years course
in the higher burger schools, of which
Holland possesses ~. The cOeduca-
tion of the sexes is an admitted prin-
ciple, says a London exchange. In the
primary schools boys and girls arc
brought up together. They learn side
by side and are on familiar terms from
early childhood without the smallest
i'll resulting. a great point is made OF
languages, and no Dutch girl of the
upper or middle classes is considered
educated who cannot speak English,
French and German more or less flu
emily.
Probably owing to the system Of
education inklrce the women folk are
inclined to grSw up somewhat indie
pendent. We are told that the preju-
dice against women working for live
lihood has almost disappeared, and
even rich women sometimes choose a
profession. They include doctors,
dentists, many of them first rate;
photographers and gardeners. About
900 girls hold posts as assistant
chemists, some 1000 are nurses,
trained in the White Cross homes and
on par with the very best of their
profession. \ woman is curator Of
the national history museum in Haar-
lem and another holds the same post
at Utrecht, while a third is head dis
Hnenser at a hospital in Amsterdam.

WINE JUDGES KEEP SOBER.
They Merely Taste and Smell and DO
Not Swallow the Liquor They
Are Testing.

If you have ever gone into a wine
merchants office and sampled differ
ent vintages you will have observed
that the dealer never swallows the
wine he puts into his mouth, but holds
it there for a time while he lightly
breathes through his nose. His pal
ate tells him whether the wine is
rough or smooth; but his sense Of
smell detects its aroma, and is largely
depended on to determine its quality,
saws the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Of course it is the brain to which the
smell is communicated that is really
instrumental in fixing values, and as
the effect on the brain is only mo-
mentary, a great deal of wine may be
sampled in this way without i'll effects.
But when the wine is permitted to
pass into the stomach, the fumes which
arise from it continue to assail the
brain as long as the liquor remains
there in its original state, and if taken
in large quantities results in fuddling
the brain.

His nights are sleepless, his days are
full of condensed misery and life is one

Once he was happy and content--a

goes home his dog hunts dark cor

A point on shirtwnfsts.

A point concerning shirt waists
which Is very definite just now, is that
to be smart they must be belted with
a similar color. A soft white linen
belt, stitched along each edge and
washable as often as occasion requires
will be a necessary adjunct to the
summer girls w'rdrobe. Removable
buckles may be used, or the belt may
be gathered and pinned with one Of
the round pins whose uses are legion.
These belts may be made of any mate
rial, but a special touch of complete
ness is given when they are of the same
material as the waist with which they
are worn. With a white linen stock
stitched with band of the shirt waist
color, and a belt of the same material
as the waist, the simplest outfit will
look chic and modish.-Detroit Free

THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE.
She Has COnveniences That We're
Unknown in the "GOOd Old Days"
of Her GRANDMOTHER.

"Now it is only trihe," sail a
pretty Washington housewife, ac-
cording to the Star, but l wish TO
call the attention of our grandm9th-
ers to one or two modern chantes
from their good old days Of which
they so frequently remind US when
in the kitchen, and to which we hayo
no desire to return.
'In this little paper box is a pound
Of butter-fresh, pure, sweet-smeL-
ing butter; and closely wrapped
around the fragrant yellow edible
cube is a clean piece of muslin. Note
that the ends are neatly and tightly
squared and folded, the box bearing
the name of the dealer, and often
the name of the dairy farm from
whence the butter comes. Contrast
this improved sanitary method of
handling butter, which is a highly
absorbent compound, and ought to
be always closely wrapped and iso-
lated in the ice chest, with the old
style way of weighing the butter
often on a pair of dirty scales, slap
ping it in little pieces on a piece of
white paper, and then wrapping it
in coarse straw paper.
"Then, when our grandmothers
wished a dozen or so Of eggs, they
were dropped in a paper bag, and
often dropped to the sidewalk by the
girl before she got home. Now they
are packed in a neat little paste
board box holding a dozen eggs, each
egg in a compartment by itself, sep
arated by a pasteboard partition.
"And in 'grandmother's day or in
mothers day. for that matter, re-
call how they had to think mot to
forget to leave the milk-pail out with
the tickets and how, when they did
forget to do so, what dreadful con-
sequences resulted when papa found
no milk for his breakfast coffee. It's
all changed, and our grandmothers
would have a hard time of it keeping
pace with modern improvements. The
time-honored milk pail has passed in
favor of the glass bottle, sealed and
reasonably clean. Even in effete New
York the milkman with his ear-pierc-
ing yep yellow wagon, four cans Of
milk and long dipper is slowly pass
ing in favor of the wagon with it's
cases of filled bottles which we see
on the streets of Washington.
"Our beloved maternal ancestors in
lace caps would have heart failure
were the dear old ladies suddenly
called upon to take the place Of the
housewife of to-day and superintend
the larder. Paper boxes for these
purposes were unknown. Everything
eatable went into bags, and before
the advent of bags, into cornucopias
of brown paper rolled over the
bridesmaids left hand. Now, every
thing. from crackers to eggs, is in
closed in some sort of a receptacle
of prepared paper, pasteboard. tin,
glass or wood; the housewife of to-
day reioiceth in consequence, and
our food products are given that adj
ditional protection against decay,
dirt, deterioration and germs.
"In short, there is a great deal of
fiction about good old times, and
these simple but highly important
features of our everyday life ex-
plodes one fable about the days
when mother made such nice pies "

SDectacIed Soldiers

The following order, nothing short
of revolutionary, has just been issued
bv the British war office: "Oficers
and soldiers of the regulars are al
lowed to wear spectacleS, on or off
duty" Hitherto it has been rule OF
the British army that no officer below
the. rank of major could wear glasses;
this. of course, prevented all line off
GERS. as well as all enlisted men, from
wearing them. Officers of the guards
and other regiments, some of whom
needed the aid of glasses, got around
the rule by inventing the. monocle,
sometimes irreverently called the
"eve-popper," and a decision of the
war Office made years ago solemnly
held that an officer might wear a
monocle, because it had only one glass,
and so did not fall under the order pro-
>hibiting glasses. The new regulation
apparently is the result of the war in
South Africa, which has developed that
spectacled Beers can shoot, and in
some respects at least will serve to
bring the British army up to the stand
ard of the German and French armies,
the officers and men Of which wear
spectacles or not, according as they
need them.-N. Y. Sun.

ON FOREIGN TERRITORY.
President ROOseveIt's Departure
from an Established Rule in
Honor of Prince Henry.

"The recent visit of Prince Henry
of Prussia" remarked a naval officer
to Washington Star reporter the 9TH
er day, established two records in the
history of the presidents of the United
States. The first was when President
Roosevelt was the princes guest on
board the German warship Hohenzol-
lern at New York, and the second was
when the president attended the din
ner givef in honor of the royal visitor
at the German embassy in this city.
So far as l can learn there were no
precedents for either action. A for
eign warship and a foreign embassy
are foreign territory under all circum-
stances, and from that standpoint
President Roosevelt went out of Unit
ed States territory and jurisdiction on
both occasions. You know it has been
an almost unbroken rule with all the
presidents never to accept invitations
to dine in the national capital except
Mt the houses of members Of their cab
inets, and / never heard that any presi-
dent ever before dined at the official
home of a foreign ambassador. Iwell
remember the action of President
Cleveland and the Columbian naval re
view in New York harbor in 1898. War
ships of all the important countries
in the world took part in that event,
but the president made it a point not
to go aboard any of them. He con-
fined his visits afoat to United States
warships and reviewed the foreign
naval fleets from the quarter deck Of
the naval yacht Dolphin. To my mind
it would not have made any difference
if he had gone on the foreign men-of-
war, and the only reason he did not
was nrohahlY nnrelY sentimental"
