BRECKINRIDCE'S REPORT
Inspector General Of the Army Makes Many
recommendations and Suggestions

TO Absente sism Where O1icer,

spector general Of the army, is Il vol
luminous document and covers every
phase Of the military establishment and
department, bureau and command Of
the army. There are more than 10
recommendations and suggestions re-
lating to Improvements In the army
most Of which pertain TO technical mat
tiers and minor conditions, Much Of
the report necessarily has been covered
in the rcprots of bureau chiefs and
commanding officers, Cen Breckin-
ridge finds much to commend in all
branches Of the service. and reports
progress and improvements every
where.
The most serious criticism is in re-
gard to absenteeism whore officers are
on detached duty, leaving the fegl-
ments short OF officers. Thus, in the
Philippines especially It is found that

There are few events In the history

the cesson Of Louisiana by Napoleon
Bonaparte when he was first consul.
The St Louis exposition commission
doubtless believes that the best way of
showing Americas gratitude to France
would be TO invite the president Of the
'hlrd French republic TO the centen-
nary celebration of the act of the first
republic. The journey would be quite
constitutional for precedents exist in
the visits TO Russia of the late Presi-

COLLEGE BRED WOMEN.
DO They Lack the Charm of Manner
Men Admiref

Men Admires
The question OF the college girl In So
ciety is of equal Importance with that
OF the college man in business, for as
business is the vocation Of most men
so society" using the word In It's
broadcast sense and including In il all
the social" relations, claims so much
of the time Of many women that the
few who take to public careers can
safely be left out OF the discussion.
They are exceptional cases and do
not affect the main point at issue. IL
is in her duties as friend, hostess. wife
and mother that woman usually finds
the larger part Of her existence. and If
her attractveness and usefulness in
the discharge OF these duties are I'M
paired by her devotion to purely in
tellectual pursuits most men feel and
express an unqualified dissatisfaction.
1t is asserted that many college wo-
men are found to lack that charm or
manner and those graces OF everyday
life which men desire and demand. A
woman may be learned. but IL she can
not talk small talk. which Is the lar
gest part Of talk, If she cannot manage
a crowd of men and women I'm her
drawing room. II she Is without social
tact and II she has no interest and
skill in the small things Of ordinary
existence. hut is continually leading
the higher life. II is a sad but indis-
putable fact that her men friends will,
to use their own low expression, pass
her up" They do not want that kind
OF woman.
In man all corresponding defects
would be excused for the reason that
his life work lies in other directions.
This is perhaps exceedingly unjust;
but like other things in this world, Its
injustice is no proof that it does not
exist A man who fails In his social
relations may still be useful person.
Such is not the case with the vast ma
jority Of wOmen.-Chicago Tribune.

II you wish to save labor In the
kitchen. see that the cupboards and
dresser drawers are kept tidy day by
day. Never let them get into such a
state that they need a good turning
out. Have all your tins labeled clearly
so that TO time is lost in taking of and
putting on lids, and give each tin and
Jar its own shelf and place. Never let
the -four dredger. salt jar, etc, remain
untitled. Refill them as soon as they
are emptied. Have sufficient but not
more than necessary cloths in use and
wash them out when they are done
with for the day. Always have a sup

If you wish to purchase by sample
and to test the quality Of silk. take ten
tihers Of the filling Of any silk, and ".
on breaking. they show feathery, dry
snd lackluster condition and discolor
the fingers in handling You may ut
once be sure OF the presence of dye
and of artificial weighing.
Or take small portion Of the iibers
between the thumb and fOrehnger and
gently roll them over and over, and
you will soon detect the gum. mineral,
soap. etc. should their be any. or their
absence.
Another simple but effective way 20
test the purity Of silk is to burn a
small quantity Of the fibers. Pure silk
will instantly crisp. leaving only n
pure charcoal. Heavily dyed silk will
smolder. leaving a greasy yellow ash.
II you cannot break the ten strands
and II they do not discolOr the fingers
