WOMEN TEACHERS NERVOUS.
German PhysiOloEists Find Large
Proportion Seriously Affected
Fear Deterioration of Race.

Two eminent German Psychologists,
DR.. Rolf Wichmann and DR.. Adolf Bfr-
ham, have arrived at some instructive
results from inquiries concerning the
prevalence of bad sight and nervous
disorders among women students and
teachers. Forty-two per cent. of the
women teachers have to wear glasses,
as against ten among women not so
employed, and "a among male teachers.
Again, 40 per cent. of the female
teachers are affected with nervous dis
orders, while among men similarly
employed only II per cent have nerv-
Gus. complaints. Long hours and ILL
ventilated rooms are held to be the
leading causes of these complaints
among women, but the result of these
investigations has given considerable
encouragement to the growing opinion
in Germany that general deterioration
OF the race must follow If women's en-
ploymont be not carefully chosen.

Whatever naturalists and tender

A FEW CANNIBAL BIRDS.
Their FeliOws-Duck Hawks
Are Worst Offenders.

The most unpleasant items on the
bill of fare of the bird kingdom are
birds themselves, writes a naturalist.
The most systematic cannibal among
birds is the peregrine falcon, or duck
hawk, and where birds are abundant
this fastidious gourmand merely eats
the flesh Of the head and neck and
eyes of each victim, leaving the re-
mainder of the body untouched. Oc-
casienally, as among other animals
bird of strictly vegetarian habits will
attack another bird, even one of it's own
kind, and kill and eat it in the most
matter of fact way.
Perhaps every order of the higher
warm blooded animals may be in
cluded in the list, from the sloth,
which mutely resigns itself to the ter
rible grip of harry eagle, to the
human child. powerless before the at
tack of some bird of prey frenzied
with hunger. In certain districts
eagles and hawks have been shot
smelling strongly of skunk, bu.

With motley colors. starry forms.
IN them the sunset skies are found
That follow after storms:
And blurs of crimson blue and gold
Their graceful chalices enfold.
While mid the dead leaves piled and pent
Humbly they live and die content.
Huge oaks above them lift their heads
And drop the acorn, shed the leaf,
The harvest field far round them sheds
Plenty in many sheaf,
And they, half fragrant, brighten earth
Low in the shadows where there's dearth

Far from the worlds mad, ceaseless strife.
They speak no message, act no part,
They have no works to show,
Deep hidden here they touch no heart

For man can have no futile doom.

STIMULUS TO INDUSTRY.
Mexican Governor Offers Annual Cash
Prize to Artisans Who Are
Steady and Sober.

The governor of the state of Mexico
has founded an annual prize of $500 to
be awarded to the artisan who during
the year has most distinguished him
self for his industry and sobriett and
for the prompt and unvarying attend
ance at his daily tasks, especially on the
mornings following Sundays and gen.
orally observed feast days. The iIitia-
tive of Gov. Villada. says the Mexican
Herald, will have good effect in slim
ulating useful emulation among the
working class of the state Of Mexico,
which has always been to the fore, es-
pecially during the regime of the pres
ent governor, in industrial and educa-
tional progress.
Not long ago the press noticed with
merited commentator the establish
ment, under Gen. >Villada's auspices, Of
place of innocent recreation for the
working class at Toluca. This is prac-
teal philanthropy. The working class,
where it sees that an intelligent inter-
est is being taken in it's welfare, will
demonstrate its appreciation by closer

intermingled with beautiful furs, and
lace is used as much if not more than
ever-real for preference, though
many of the limitations are quite beau
tiful.
Taking them all around, the styles
for outdoor garments. including head
gear, are quite lovely. And now let me
describe to you one or two mantles of
the moment. The long shoulder ap-
pears to be indispensable. Sometimes
it is to be arrived at by big pelerine
over-cape, and Outlines by a long
shoulder-piece and the sleeve put in
as one. There is something extremely
graceful about these dropping Shout
ders, except when they are accentuated
to such an extent that they become
ludicrous. The clever tailor manages
when necessary to square the Shout
ders of his clients before sloping them.
A very pretty pelerine of fichu effect
is obtained in nantes by an Insertion

lace edged on either side with a mar
row fur trimming and very often ac-
companying this there is high Medici
collar.
Many beautiful fur nantes are made
with draped capuchin Of contrasting

fringe of knotted silk of the same
shade, and finished with collar OF
mink, which fell in stoles down the
front This was lined with a thick
creamy white satin.
Then many of the cloth models. gen.
orally white or cream, are trimmed
with mixture of silk and chenille
fringe in the same shade and ruchings
of slightly deeper tone of velvet
These ruchings are the true sign OF
the return to the early Victorian pc
riod. They have smartness all their
own, but 1 think, somehow, they look
better on dresses than on nantes.
Light cloth dresses trimmed with
dark furs are ideal for early winter,
and this combination will be much in
evidence, during the next few months.
as it was in the early part of last
spring.
There is a distinct fancy for the old
corduroy velvets. and in brown and
deep ivory shades they are really love
ly. Although light, they are warm
and can be worn without coat.

roy skirt with suede coat of the same

favorite fabric for winter modes. Con-
sequently, we cannot do better than
use this lovely material for wrap,
combining warmth, lightness and con-
siderable beauty. The old stiff mantle
velvets do not appeal to many of us.
They are too harsh to drape in the
classical folds which the wrap of the
moment demands.
This reminds me that we shat: see
curious mixtures this season of the
ancient Greek 1880 fashions, a combi-
nation which in most cases is made to
bear a strong resemblance to the Louis
XIV. modes. 1t is a good idea to take
little from the best fashions of all
periods and to adapt it to the modes
of to-day.
There are all sorts of fascinating old
fashions which seem, somehow, to suit
the present-day beauties.
The silk knotted and chenille fringe
seems to be an admirable trimming

RULE WORKS BOTH WAYS.
1t Costs to Go Into the Business Of
Horse Racing and IL Costs
to Get Out.

E. r. Thomas, the owner of the horse
Hermis, talked one day at Saratoga
about the expense of racing, says the
New York Tribune
"A racing stable is like newspaper"
he said. AT the beginning it requires
a good deal of money You know
what Charles A. Dana used to saw
about newspapers-that it costs a lot
to start them. but they would stop OF
themselves? Well. that is equally true
of racing stables. Only. as rule. even
to give stable up costs money.
"Once, when P. T. Barnum was tak-
ing tickets at the entrance of his cir.
Gus. man asked him il he could %
in without paying.
"'You can pay without going IN >.
said Barnum. but you can't go in,

The guides of the Alps are looking

On the Wetterhorn, the grim Alpine

| think we shall always remair
faithful to blouses, though 1 have told
you, and l mean it, that the really
smart dresses now favor the bodice
and the skirt en- suite. The toilette
de visite, for instance, is very elabo-
rate. The new, soft, light make o.
velvet will be the fabric par excellence
in next months fashions, and the ia.
vorite trimming will be an embroider
ed collar of the pelerine shape.
The peignor, saut-de-lit, and all such
garments of comfort are mostly cut
after the Japanese shape. And here
again wine color predominates.
Among others, there are two Ameri
can beauties over here. l dare not di.
vulge their names, but l must tell yor
of some of their clothes. An evenins
dress made for one of them is in ivory
white velvet. The skirt is slightly
full on the hips, otherwise it is plaiE
to the knees, where it seems to have
innumerable folds and plaits forming
frou-frou all round the feet. To al
appearances the bodice and skirt are
cut in one, the former being very SIM
pie, cut in cross over fashion, outlined
with a beautiful design in COLDER
grapes, with leaves worked in palest
green, and finished with a swathec
waistband of ivory white velvet an6
gold tissue.
In direct contrast to this gown is 3

bow and two long ends falling right
down to the hem of the skirt. Round
the waist was a shaped band of rose
panne, while entredeux of the Brussels
applique were carried all down the
