IOWA AGAIN HEARD FROM
The State of Iowa was heard from
again yesterday when 1t asked to have its
representative admitted to the central
competitive district in the scale confer
ence for 1904. Iowa has long wanted to
become included in this district, and will
be IL the operators will agree to 1t. 1t
is entirely contingent upon the wishes
of the operators and the committeeman
from the miners will lay the proposition
before them again this year, the same as
they did year ago.
which the delegates were pledged TO use
their best efforts with the members of the
legislatures of their various States in the
interest of the child labor laws. The
miners wish law enacted which will pro-

children under sixteen years of age.

London and the Theater in Shakespeare

present, and the talk was exceedingly in

when Shakespeare wrote Both talks were
illustrated with stereopticon views.
Professor Baker began his lecture last

Several Indianapolis factories are men,

The steam coal situation has not af-

there is proba bility that they will have some
difficulty TO get coal. The Traction and
Terminal Company has good supply, and
under its contract expects to have no fuel

FACTS CONCERNING SLEEP.

The scholar and professional man,
like the anxious housewife, is apt to
carry his cares to bed, and insomnia
becomes a curse. Men and women
..,la ore h.-s;~>~l ;--.--~-.-i---,----1
ing, the merchant, the banker an
alike, fail to secure that self control
which can manage the mind as we'll
asleep as awake.
Normal sleep should be purely a
physiological repose similar to the
rest of animals, who go to sleep with
the darkness and awake with the
light. Some one has said that sleep
is like hunger and thirst, represent
ing a diminution of energy through
out the entire body. l hardly think
this can be true, but in my judgment
sleep rather suggests the diminution
of the energy of the brain, and he is
a wise map who takes the hint when
brain fag sets in of an evening and
goes comfortably and properly to bed.
OF course it goes without saying
that night is not the only time for
sleep. Men and women who are
busy could steal just a few minutes
before or after the MONDAY luncheon
to catch a little nap, and, indeed, l
am nearly sure that the MONDAY nap
is worth far more than the MONDAY
meal, for the digestive processes are
surely hindered during the periods of
mental activity, and it is the excep-
tional person in this busy world Of
ours who is not called upon to use all
his brain and Drawn to make living.
It has been my habit to advise moth
ers to steal while away from every
"cumberous care" and, even if sleep
fails to be wooed, to take about twen-
ty minutes every day in absolute peace
and quietness, diverting the mind
from all anxieties and relaxing all the
muscles. A habit of this kind is
easily acquired, and we might have
fewer neurasthenic women, whose
nerves make life hideous to their fam
lilies, if word like this, spoken from
considerable experience, were needed.

BIRDS THAT CAN TALK.

Professor Scott, of Princeton, SAYS
that wild birds sometimes introduce
variations into their songs and, again,
------7--------s5-s--:---;- ;--A~~-z-----osalx- the
songs of other birds, but the barking
of dogs, mechanical sounds, like the
creaking of wheels, the filing of a saw
and even human speech. A writer
i'll Bird Lore gives this well authenti-
Gated incident:
One morning while I was standing
on my back steps l heard cheerful
voice say: "You are a pretty bird.
Where are your"
1 wondered how any parrot could
talk loudly enough to be heard at
that distance, for the houses on the
street behind us are not near. Pres
emily the voice came again, clear,
musical and strong: "You are
pretty bird. Where are your"
For several days l endured the sus-
pense of waiting for time to investi-
gate. Then 1 chased him up. There
he was in the top of walnut tree,
and his gorgeous attire told me i'm
mediately he was a rose breasted
grosbeak.
At the end of week he was say
ing: "Pretty, pretty bird. Where
are you?" He and his mate stayed
near us all last summer, and this
spring they came again. He is max
ing the same remark as plainly az
ever a bird can speak.

"wooL FOR THE LAMBS"

A lady living in the northern sec
ton of the city had rather the worst
of an encounter of wits recently with
a little colored girl who she employed
to assist in the housework.
The girl had hair which curled even
more tightly than usual in the style
commonly called "kinky.' After
watching the girl cleaning the front
steps for while the lady asked ::
MARY, what makes your hair so
kinky?" Desisting from her occu-
patton and stepping back couple of
PAGES, the girl placed hand on either
hip and, throwing back her head with
the most defiant air, replied in a
drawing tone: "God gave all dogs
hair, but to his lambs he gave wool. :"
The lady beat hasty retreat into
the house. The girl, after retaining
her attitude of challenge until no
further interrogatories seemed COM
ing, resumed her occupation.

MUCH IN A NAME.

There was sage remark made the
other day by practical woman anent
the ever-present servant question !:
when you advertise for a cook,
said this wise person, "if you want to
get the very best sort of one, ask for
working housekeeper, and not for
cook at all. If you want an intelli-
gent nurse with whom you will not
be afraid to trust your children, ad-
vertise for nursery governess.
These experiments will very soon
show you what is in name.
"There are elderly women who
would scorn to go out as cooks, but
who, under the name of house-keep-
er, will not only do the cooking, but
will go to market as well and make
one dollar go almost as far as the
head of the house could make two.
Of course, these women must have r.
few more privileges than the ordinary
cook would have, but not of the sort
that will interfere with the happiness
of any one else. They will probably
object to taking their meals with the
other servants, if there are any, but
this certainly is their own affair, and
it is poor cook who does not eat
when and where she will.
"I have had number of nursery
governesses' who were most trust
worthy. Had I advertised for
nurse, an unintelligent class of young
women would probably have respon
ded, with whom I would not have
trusted fox terrier much less child.
The governesses in many cases were
graduates of some of our city schools
they were fond of children and did
not object to their care nor to taking
their meals in the nursery along with
their charges. They were young
women who must work for a living,
who probably had not been able to
obtain positions in the schools, and
who hesitated to take up the hard
work of the factory. They received
$12 or SIS a month, board and laun-
dry, and had comparatively easy
hours, for my children go to bed at 7
and are seen no more after that.
1.-TWO were married from my house
to young men who are getting on in
the world so well that turn in the
wheel may make them my social su
periors. However they may be situ
ated, shall always be glad to welcome
to my house young women who were
of the greatest assistance to me, who
helped to train my children into ways
of refinement at time when other
wise their heads might have been fill
ed by coarse girl with the very
things they ought least to know"

ND, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1903.

of an inch out of plumb. This pecu-
liarity has been determined by means
of tub of molasses placed far up in
the tower, the surface of the mo1asses
varying three-quarters of an inch,
according to the lean of the tower.
Then, too, the tower is an insatia-
bic and inveterate destroyer of the
birds of the air. The ring of sixteen
powerful arc lights that glow at the
base of Penn'a statue blinds the birds
SO thar they fly against the tower,
are killed and fall to the roofs below.
One of the halls employees has col
lection of over thousands birds that
were killed in this manner.
The statue of William Penn that
caps the tower weighs So, 348 pounds
and is thirty-seven feet in height.
The hat is nine feet in diameter, the
right rim twenty-three feet in cir
.cumference., the. buttons on the coat
coat cuffs are three feet long.
Penn himself has a nose thirteen
inches long; eyes twelve inches in
length and four wide; mouth four
teen inches from corner to corner;
hair four feet long; face of three
feet three inches from hat to chin, a
waist of twenty-four feet, fingers two
feet six inches long, nails three inches
long, legs ten feet from ankle to
knee.
Between tower and basement are
many queer things. The largest
room measures 58x7I feet and has a
floor area of 4, I18 square feet. This
is the common council chamber, and
two three-s story houses. Philadelphia
style, could be placed in it.
Two chandeliers cost So, 800 each.
They are gold plated. They hang in
what are known as the conversation
rooms in decorating which tens of
thousands of dollars have been spent.
These rooms are really reception
rooms for the use of the mayor and
councils.
The biggest stone column is twen-
ty-four and half feet high and two
feet eight inches in diameter. 1t
weighs fourteen tons and is of one
piece. 1t and nearly all the stone
used in the building came from a
single quarry in Massachusetts,.
There are nearly three miles of
main corridors aud one-half that dis
tance of branches.
The FIVE guides declare that, on an
average, 600 persons, who have no
object in view other than that of
sight seeing, are daily shown through
the building. This makes total of
$50, 900 yearly.
Bridal couples are in evidence by
thousands. When the courts are IN
session the corridors are so blockaded
that one can scarcely push his way
through.
Twenty-Five persons have m ct
death while working on the city hall.
All have been killed hv falls. One
man recently fell from the brlm OF
Penn's hat. Another was killed by
a fall of twelve feet.

ESTABLISHED 1850.
ORIGIN OF BLOOMERs,

In the autobiography of the late
Elizabeth Cady Stanton the story of
the origin of "bloomers" is told as
follows: The originator, about 1880,
was Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Miller, the
only daughter of Gerrit Smith, eel
ebrated philanthropist and a pillar of
the anti-slavery movement. Mr.. Ger
rlt Smith inherited enormous wealth,
and expended great sums in charity
and the public service, giving away
5000 to 10000 pounds every year,
besides distributing gratis to some
5000 working people tracts of his
land for farms. Among the points
upon which he held very strong opin-
ions was this one of the dress of wo-
men. He wrote: "I believe that
poverty is the great curse of woman
she must work to get rid of her pow
ertv. but that she cannot do in her
present disabling dress. We she TO
adopt rational dress that would NO
hinder her in any work, how quickly
she would rise from her present de-
grading dependence upon man. His
daughter, with the consent of her
husband, Colonel Miller, was. there
fore, the first to wear the reform
dress.
Mrs. Amelia Bloomer advocated the
new dress in her paper, and thence
the press generally took up the ques-
ton; the name of Mrs. Bloomer,
which was quoted in connection with
her articles, hit the public fancy as
having something of the quaint and
ridiculous about it; hence the dress
came to be generally referred to as
the Bloomer costume. It consisted
of trousers full to the ankles, and
there gathered in, like those of Turk
1Sh women over which came a tunic
with skirt reaching to little below
the knee. Mrs. Smith Miller perse-
vered in wearing it for seven years.
Her example was followed by num-
Der of other women. But Mrs. Stan
ton says "The many laughed it to
scorn, and heaped such ridicule on its
wearers that they soon found that the
physical freedom enjoyed did not COM
pensate for the persistent persecution
and petty annoyances suffered. To
be rudely gazed at in private, to be
followed by crowds of boys in the
streets, and to be the conscious sub
ject of criticism everywhere, were to
the last degree exasperating. have
never wondered since that the Chinese
women allow their daughters feet to
be encased in iron shoes, for great
are the penalties of those who first
resist the behests of the tyrant Gus
tom !"

AN ORPHAN.

A well known Harvard professor
has bright boy, who one day, at the
age of 4, appeared in his fathers
study, clasping in his hands forlorp
looking little chicken, which hs
strayed from a neighboring incuba-|
tor. Willie, said his father, stern
1y, "take that chicken back to ia
mother" "Ain't dot any mudder,
answered Willie. "Well, then, take
it back to its father" said the profes1
sor, determined to maintain parental
authority. "Ain't dot any fader,
said the child, as he held the LITTLE
chicken more tightly, 'ain'tdot any
thin but an old lamp"

WEATHER BUREAU ON OLD FASHIONED
WINTER.

can o1d-fashioned Winter" was
the remark of old-fashioned people
Yesterday, as they slipped over the
icy pavements or trudged through
the snow in the streets, and many
were the incidents recalled of old
times when there were such Winters
as the youth Of today is supposed to
know only as historical.
"The old-fashioned Winter" said
United States Weather Observer De-
main yesterday, is a good deal like
Indian Summer. 1t is pretty old
idea, for Thomas Jefferson used to
talk about the old-fashioned Winters
in his time. Persons who talk about
the weather going in cycles have
mighty little to base their theories
on.
"People do not remember from one
year to another. Of course there is
more snowfall in one year than in an
other owing to varying atmospheric
conditions, just as last November was
a record-breakes in regard to temper
ature, as compared with fourteen pre-
ceding years. December, 1890, is not
so long ago as to be called old-fash-
ioned yet. Fifteen inches of snow
fell that month, eight and half
inches falling on Christmas.
"In December, 1889, no snow tell,
yet in that year was the greatest
precipitation recorded during the
life of the station, at the time of the
Johnstown food, and eighteen inches
of snow fell on March 27th, that year.
On February 18th, 1898, twelve
inches of snow fell which ought to be
old-fashioned enough in both case:
and one need not be very old to re-
member them"
Before the weather was reduced tc
such a science there was good dea
of guessing as to quantities of precip
itation, but the accurate methods o
the Weather Bureau have disprovec
MANY fallacies. They have shown
Indian Summer weather in Marcl
and thrown suspicion on the groun'
hog and goose bone as infallibl
weather prophets.
