SEX THAT EATS PICKLES.
Women in Restaurants Consume Twice, ms Many of Them
 as Men Do.

sI always thought" said a waiter, according to the Chicago Chronicle, that the stories about women being such great pickle eaters were just jokes told by people who thought they were funny; but one of my first ex- perienees as a waiter taught me in a very simple manner that the stories were true
 This was in 8 restaurant where we had many women customers, one side of the restaurant being for men. and the other side for women. On the women's side we used to have to i'll up the pickle jars that stood on the tables every day, while the jars on the mems side had to be filled only once in two days.
 ."so here, you see, the women reg ularly ate about twice as many pickles as the men did; and should say that that Is just about what they always do, everywhere. T

Patti's Jewel Hoax.

Will the Baroness Cederstrom, other wise Adelina Patti, bring her jewels to America2 She says she will, but 1t is doubtful, says the New York Press. The great soprano owns gems worth $40O,000. If she wore all these she would outshine our own queens of fashion, and this might prove disas- trous. Patti always has had a passion for precious stones, and most of her fortune is represented in her jewel boxes. It would almost be too great a risk to carry so much wealth across the sea- On Patti's last visit here she appeared with her bosom gHstening and her hair ablaze with gems. Wom- en raved about the splendor of Patti's diamond crown and the beauty of her "rope of pearls" After Patti had finished her tour she announced that the "jewels' she had worn were imita- t1ons of the real gems that were lying in safety in London bank. Will Patti repeat this hoax?

IA BIC UNDERTAKING l
It Is Proposed to Raise the Levele
 of the Great Lakes.
Commerce Through Lakes Erie ana St. Clair Would Be Greatly Bene-
 fited-A Big Dam Near Buf- falo to Be Built.

| s.s
 A matter which is receiving the at ton of President Roosevelt at this time is the selection Of the three American members of the information al commission to consider plans for the regulation of the levels of the great lakes Canada is to have represen- tation on the commission of three members, and there is no reason to expect. opposition to the project from them, inasmuch as Canada has noth- ing to lose and everything to gain, for it is preposed to conduct the work of constrllctio and maintenance en- tfrely at the..expense of the United States.
 The proposition to raise and control the level of the water of the great lakes has been under consideration for years and has received the active con- sideration and won the approval of the governing board of engineers of deep. waterways, and of the United States engineers. Briefly stated the plans provide. for a regulating dam on Mi agara river not far from Buffalo. The regulating feature will be accom- plished by making a fixed weir with movable sluice, so that the overflow of Lake Erie may be controlled at all all times, and according to estimates made after careful study of the plan it appears feasible to maintain the level of Lake Erie about three feet higher than the usual stage of water during the low water period in the latter season of Anavig igation.
 A corresponding increase in the low water depth in Lake St. Clair of two feet would be obtained and Lakes Hu- ron and Michigan would gain a foot in depth. Lake Superior is beyond the range of effect. One of the especial advantages to be gained by thus rais- ing the lake levels is in connection with the work on the Detroit river. l At present there is less than IS feet depth over the shoals at low water and

UNDER TWO FLAGS. :,

The second Of the big shows-of the season will be offered at Polls on Thursday evening in the presentation of Paul NJ. Potter's dramatization of Ouida's novel, Under Two Flags This is the big New York Academy of Music production, and it is a massive one. It's advent is always a matter O. serious moment to the stage hands of a playhouse. Many Of the scenic at fractions so-called are in matter of reality mere sinecures for the expert hands back of the footlights. The productionaof aUnder Two Flags car. ries three carloads of scenery in ex- cess of all the trunks and baggage con tainiEg costumes and other effects. To the .ay mind this announcement. per. haps. conveys no adequate idea of the enormity of the production; but it is very convincing to the stage hand who emits despairing groans when ti,1 first truck load of scenery is deposited on the Stage. and relieves himself ci an intense sigh ofsreIiefs when the Jas! load has left the ,theater 1atetha eop clusion of the engagement. The cor tracts between the house nlanagers and the management of Under Two Flags" provide for thirty stage hands who do not appear in the production but who have their time fully occupied settling and clearing the massive ef fleets.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

Again has Manager Po1i scored! It would be difficult to say which show was the better, the orethat made such a big hit last week or the one that had its first performance. yesterday at the Jacques. But no matter what one may think on this score, this one is certainly a good one. It has plenty of comedy of the kind that wins a.
 proval, and there Is enough novelty 'f the novel kind to balance the comedy. Canfeld and Carleton, who head the bill in an absurdly humorous creation entitled ..The Hoodoo.," certainly won the audiences yesterday; they danced and sang and made fun in a way to capture the most hardened show practically without plot or sequence, affords just the opportunity for the splendid talents they possess, and they exploit. them to the limit. Fox and Clark, too. have a jolly bit in "O'Fudge { & Co.," and there were mighty few sober or serious moments while they had the stage. With these two acts as a double headline feature this weeks bill ought to hold the attend ance at the Jacques up to the top fig ures. There are other acts of value. however, contributed Goldsmith and Hoppe in musical comedy, the Four Flying Bouvards.

the necessity Of deepening works has been demonstrated if the increasing commerce is to be handled.
 The cost of construction of the dam on the Niagara river and the mainte- nance of the works to operate the weir would be paid for many times over in the money which would be saved in harbor improvements now made necessary by the low water stages. The aggregate cost of improving Lake Erie harbors has averaged $1.O00, 900 for each foot of permanent depth se- cured, and as the proposed regulating works would give an increased depth of three feet itswould represent a value of $3,000, 900. This sum taken in com parison with the estimated cost of the proposed dam of s800,Ooo is a strong and convincing argument in favor of the project. Here is clear saving of over two million dollars on Lake Erie alone and the saving on the Detroit river and on Lakes St. Clair, Huron and Michigan would swell the sum to far greater proportions.
 Of course any construction works affecting the level of the great lakes necessarily becomes matter of inter- national agreement, hence the appoint ment of the international commission Just the effect which the elevation of the lake levels would have on streams tributary to the lakes, and just how it would operate upon vested rights along the shore lines of the waters affected are matters which demand the thorough and discriminating examina- tion by the commission.
 It is interesting to note in connec- tion with this problem of fake levels that measurements of the flow of Ni- agara river, made both by the boaNd's S engineers and those of the United States show that there has been con- tinuous decrease in the discharge Gf water through the Niagara river iG6o the St. Lawrence. The measurements made in 1869 gave a discharge of 265,- 900 cubic feet per second: those made in 1s9o-91 gave but 23O,000 cubic feet, while the present measurements show but 0,000 cubic feet and comparisons reveal a similar decrease in the dis charge of the St. Clair and St. Law renee rivers,
 This decrease in flow is undoubtedly the result of the gradual tilting of the land from the north towards the south west, discovered by scientific men to be steadily and slowly going on. In 5000 years at the present rate of tilt ing the Niagara river will be entirely dried up and the waters of the great lakes will be discharged through an old channel near Chicago made cen- turies ago by the outlet of glacial lake. The bed of this channel is now eight feet above the mean level of Lake Michigan and five feet above highest level. e-.. s-.a.

Wheat of Good Quality.

The Toledo Blade says the new
wheat is of splendid quality, and that
nearly all arrivals meet contract
requirements. 1t says:
"While the new wheat that has
reached Toledo up to date is not
sufficient to be used as criterion for
the crop, an idea of the excellence of
the years yield can be gained from
the splendid quality of local receipts.
Up to date. almost every car of new
wheat that has found its way to To-
ledo has stood rigid test for the To-
ledo contract grade, No. 2 soft red.
Several cars came in to-day, and all
but one graded contract. Reports
from other markets are similar, and
it is probable that what the crop
lacks in quantity will be made up in
quality"
