Washington, Jan. 14-The final Off
clal test before the wireless examiners
of the navy department took place this

Wireless Telegraph company connecting
the navy yard here with Annapolis. was
operated. Lee DeForest conducted the
test for the company. and Lieutenant
Arnold was the chief expert for the
navy. So well satisfied were the board
with the demonstration of the system.
that The department has ordered the pur-
chase OF complete sets OF apparatus from
the American DeForest Wireless Telc-
graph company OF New York.
The board prepared ten cypher mes

The Summer Fashions.

In the summer styles long, flowing
lines, sloping shoulder effects, quaint
collars and berthas are extremely
picturesque, and never before have
materials lent themselves with such
grace to the fashionable modes.
There is no end to the variety of col
lars, embroidered linens exhibited ex-
press in the highest degree the pres
ent luxurious trend of fashion; they
are unquestionably the novelty of
the season. The pure white and
creamy batistes and mills are beauti-
full enough this season to fashion a
gown for the most exclusive func-
ton; they are procurable in both
plain and embroidered effects. Lawns
of all grades are shown and are es-
pecially we'll liked for morning
frOcks. Daintiness and simplicity
are the chief considerations in their
makeup. Lingerie dresses evolved
from the sheerest and finest of lawns,
organdies, batistes and handker-
chief linens are elaborate enough for
the most formal occasions. No more
serviceable dress can be found than
n of a thin silk of japanese of
China weave, for, when soiled, it can
be washed perfectly. Fashion has
decreed that the summer wardrobe
must contain a loose white coat of
some sort, and the practical woman
Will make it of canvas. In the street

vas IS ultra-smart. Fans of lace,
gauze, feathers and flowers will be
carried this summer. Summer gloves

WOMAN'S WORK
My Neighbours Noisy Boy.


7 hear him in the morning
I hear him all day long;
I hear his ringing laughter
His shout and merry song.
He learns his lessons quickly,
That he may have "sOme fun"
And he gets in lots of mischief,
[Before the day is done.
His feet have many scratches;
He breaks his choicest toy,
And has a sight of trouble
Nv neighbor's noisy boy.
But stop! here is a secret
I would to you impart-
IF any ones in trouble
Or has a heavy heart.
It is the germ of kindness
Close hidden in his breast,
T rather think my neighbor
Is most supremely blest;
And in his manly nature
Is more gold than alloy;
And I love this manly fellow,
My neighbours noisy boy!
When the misty twilight gathers
And his mothers side he seeks,
More precious than a fortune
Are his kisses on her checks!
All, the boy who loves his mother
Holds the jewel-studded key
To nobility of nature!
And at his mothers knee
He learns his manhood's mission,
The grandeur of his life!
IT'S he who acts most nobly,
Is " a hero in the strife"
Oh, may his future journey
Bring less of grief than joy!
l predict a noble manhood
For my neighbours noisy boy.

ployment, is not only stuff, but the
stufiest kind of stuff.
There never was a time when
American women were %crowding SO
to the fore as bread-winners as they
are to-day.
And why is it that women have be-
come known as "the unquiet sex2"
It is not by any means because she
is idle for want of work. There never
was a time when SO many avenues of
employment were open to women as
now, and certainly there never were
known to be so many wage-earners
among women as the present time.
It is not more work, but more
leisure which the average m
needs. Not leisure for idleness, but
leisure for rest and reading and self
culture. Leisure for the greatest of
all work which rightly belongs to
women, that of loving and sympathiz-
ing. Women need a little less of the
hard work of life and a little more
time for thinking of the small
things of life which go to make up
the sum of human happiness in the
home. "a heart at leisure from it
self, to soothe and sympathize," and
a mind sometimes free from carking
care and vexing problems as to the
loaves and the fishes, and the where
withal shall we be clothed, of every
day life.
We have no sympathy with the as
sertion that the busy woman of to-
day needs to go back to the spinning
wheel and loom to find employment
for her idle hands. There is a broad
.er view of the case, which recognizes
the truth that it is not more workers
among women which the world needs,
but more of the richness of love and
sympathy and the inspiration which
women, relieved of some of the stress
of everyday care and toll, are en-
abled to give, and which men, who
ever do anything worth while in this
world, must find at their w fire
sides.-Mrs. Clarke-Hardy, in Farm
ers' Voice.

Woman and Her Work.

SOAAS A1DNAS OAAAAO O4AANS9 III III
mage preached a sermon that was
circulated broadcast through the
country, in which he advanced some
remarkable theories and drew some
peculiar conclusions.
DR. Talmage took for his text "Be-
hold the tears of such as were op-
pressed and they had no comforter"
and, translating this to mean the in
justice of mankind in general toward
women, he painted a most depressing
picture of woman's d~eplorable condi-
ton and position alt the present
time, and with no perceptible remedy
except the possible intervention of
a merciful Providence.
He says, "Woman will never get
justice done her by woman's ballot.
Neither will she get it by mans bal
lot. How then? God will rise up
for her. The flaming sword that
hung at Eden's gate when woman was
driven out will cleave with its terrible
edge her op~pressors."
And under this head he goes on
to state that machinery is one of wo-
mans worst enemies, and other wo-
men another, and idleness the COM
mon vice of the whole unfortunate
sex. And the only remedy which DR..
Talmage has to suggest is that wo-
man go to work, and work for wages.
Now, being a woman, we have a
perfect right to take issue with DR..
Talmage upon the subject of women,
and pending the time when the ter
rible sword shall descend and decapi-
tate our ~oppressors, "come now and
let us reason together"
In the first place, Notwithstanding
DR.. Talmage, we are inclined to agree
with the ancient Psalmist who seem
ed to think it a fit subject for praise
and thanksgiving unto the Lord that,
"He setteth the solitary in families"
And we should like to have it ex-
planned how a m with a family
to care for and make comfortable is
going to work for wages. And, too,
instead of working for wages being
the sovereign remedyfor all existing
evils, while sometimes it is wise and
necessary for a woman to do so, yet
for the most part it is a misfortune
for a woman to have to go outside
her own home to engage in any sort
of labor, either for the accumulation
of wealth or the support of herself
and her family.
And while we are quite old-fashion-
ed enough to believe that the woman
with a home and a family, under
favorable circumstances, is far hap
pier than the wage-earner, yet it is
no less a fact that educational adj
vantages and business opportunities
make it possible for any woman to
work for wages who wants to, so
where does the oppression come in?
Then the assertion that machinery
is a factor in the oppression of
woman is absurd. Women share alike
with men the advantages of the

vention of the National Irrigation as
ISOLATION to be held at Ogden. Utah.
Recently Z. G. Jackson, of Lomita,
Tex, sent communication TO a local
paper strongly advocating Maxwell as
the running mate of Theodore Roose-
welt. The communication was pub
lished and the incident gave raise to a
determined effort of national irriga-
tionists to secure this honor for the
man who has been most active in fur
thering the aims of the association and
whose views on the comprehensive
plan of western arid land reclamation
are In conformity with those of the
president. Maxwell shares with Con
gresham Newlands the honors of the
construction and passage of the Hans
brough- Newlands act which is estab-
fishing the foundation for great sys-
TEN of storage reservoirs and the re-
clamation of thousands upon thous-
ands of acres of desert land in the
west 1t is pointed out by his friends
that Maxwell would be a logical COM
plement of the Roosevelt administra-
ton through his remarkable adapta-
bility to one of the presidents most
important policies-that of national
irrigation.
Mr.. Maxwell is native Californian
His political record consists merely in
stumping the state for the republican
party In 1894 He was a resident OF
Sonoma, Cal, but in the devotion oil
recent years to national irrigation mat
ters he. scarcely has been able to claim
any state as his home.
Mr.. Maxwell practiced law in the
state of California for 90 years and
first became interested in the work of
arid land reclamation while assisting
in the framing of laws to meet irrigat-
ing exigencies in that state. The most
material achievements in which his
efforts have figured conspicuously is
the assured construction by this gov
ernment of dam at the Tonic basin
reservoir site, near Phoenix, which
will create for land reclamation and
irrigation purposes the greatest arti-
fetal lake on earth.

Religious Training of Jnrnnese.

Little or no Importance is attached
to the religions training of Japanese
children Whether the parents be
Buddhlsts or Shintoists it matters not,
for in either case the children rarely
take any part Ia the religious life of
their parents or elders and indeed
usually grow up in blissful Ignorance
as to what it is all about. True, they
may occasionally be taken to the tenn.
pie and taught to rub their palms to-
gether, clap thrice and incline their
heads toward the shrine as they toss
their offering of rim through the wood
en- grating of the huge money till.
They may have some vague notion
that there is something meritorious in
all this, but nothing more, although
every Japanese home has latticed
niche, or kamidana, dedicated to the
service of the household Lares and
Penates, or Daikoku and Ebisu as they
appear in Japan.

congested population has been made
less formidable by the development Of
manufactures in Japan, but for any
greatly increased volume of production
a foreign market must be found, and
the nearest and most promising open

Waterman stays IN it all night. We are
very careful about employing our men.
They must give bonds and have the
best OF references. The chance of a
burglar getting into our employ for the
purpose of learning our methods IS
scarcely worth thinking about.
VERY frequently we have hurry calls
fer man to open safe where the
time clock has gone askew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination
You can readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company 1t is an essen
tial thing to have the safe open before
business begins. When we send a
man out he takes a wagon load of tools,
for he must open the safe without ruin
ing the lock, and he does not know pre-
cisely what the trouble Is. He carries
a photograph of himself with our Gre
dentials on it. Nor will he open the
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him, no matter how
long the job takes. That il for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberies have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.

laughable to read that full kit of bur
