Poice Officer Sees an Aged Woman
Outside a Window.


Edward Mooney of the Greenpoint
avenue police station, New York
while patrolling Franklin street, near
India street, Greenpoint, shortly after
midnight this morning. was startled
by discerning the white robed figure of
a woman standing on the ledge of a
second story window of the Astral
apartment house on Franklin street.
The officer shouted to the woman,
but getting no response crossed to the
house and aroused the janitor. Bardley
Wright. Together they started up
stairs and found that the apartment
where the woman was was unOccupied.
The key was finally procured and it
was found that the woman was asleep.
The janitor recognized her as Mrs.
Sarah De Due, 65 years old, who lived
with her brother in the apartment di-
rectly over the window where she was
discovered. The officer and janitor
reached her while she was wavering
and just about to fall, and lifted her
into the room. She was carried to her
own apartment.

ritual words to the end.

done a lot of observing of married

a lecture on this subject. Now here it
is:
"The great trouble is that a man
wishes his wife to be very much mar
ried, but he himself wants to be as
free as in his bachelor days. He
would consider himself ill-treated if
his wife should act as if she were still
a daughter in her fathers house, and
took no responsibilities. He would
vehemently protest If he should come
home to supper and find her absent,
and upon her return later hear her
say, oh, 1 met some of the old crowd
of girls, and we decided we'd go for

he had grounds for a divorce. He
would make things pretty lively if his
wife took upon herself only those
duties which she had before marriage
and insisted on having servants to do
the rest of the work. He would rise
up in his wrath if his wife said, Here,
take care of the baby this evening. I've
been working hard all day and now

would say his wife was extremely sell

There can be no doubt" said N. H.
barton of the Geological Survey, who
has been making a special study Of
this subject, that all the Eastern and
New England states as far inland as
Washington and as far south as the
Carolinas are undergoing a topo-
graphical and geological change. In
vestigations along the coast from
Maine to South Carolina show that
there is a gradual but constant subsi-
dence of land below the sea level,
which has been going on for an in
definite period. OF course, it is diff
cult to ascertain definite figures be-
cause of the great range of years
necessary to make observations and
because we cannot rely upon registra-
tions made one hundred years ago. It
will require many centuries before the
sea line will encroach upon the cities.
But there is no reason to believe that
this subsistence will not continue

CULTIVATION OF ENGLISH LAND
Little Changes Made in the Past Five
Hundred Years.

Hundred Years.
In view of the proposal to establish
a tariff on foodstuffs in Great Britain
it is interesting to recall that in the
opinion of Prof. Thorold Rogers and
others there is no more land under
cultivation in England now than there
was 500 years ago. Prof. Rogers says:
Let it be admitted that some land
has been broken up which was
never put under the plow till the
last fifty years and we must
set against it that which has
been turned into pasture and oc-
cupied by the growth of towns. In
medieval times a park or pleasure
ground in the neigborhood of a man
sion was unknown. Cultivation was
carried on up to the very doors of the
house and more so, perhaps, as prox-
unity to the masters abode was an
element of security for the crop. II
we walk in the grounds of modern
English park, now laid out in grass,
we may often see the marks of an
cient culture in ridge and furrow.
Thousands of acres have been laid
down in meadow which, centuries ago,
bore crops of corn Similarly thou
sands of acres in the suburbs of an
cient towns are now built over, but
once were used for growing crops"

There are at least 500 battle-scarred

It is fortunate for men that women

eff it is hard for a man to adjust
himself to the new order of things;
If it is hard for him to remember
that there is some one to think of be-
sides himself; if it is difficult for him
to consider that another's pleasure is

difficult for woman to remember that
she has responsibilities before I'M

her to know that she must sit down

make call on a jolly unmarried
friend. 1t is a cross to her to with
draw from some gay party, because
she must be home to get dinner or to
greet her lord and master when he
returns from business. 1t is irritating
when she is absorbed in book to
have to drop it to attend to the ice
man or to give orders about taking

when man wishes sincerely that he

But the average husband acts as IL

We have often heard of the cliff
jewellers and are accustomed to think
of them as a prehistoric race, the re-
mains of whose few scattered dwell
ings are a matter of curiosity to tour
lists and a prize to antiquarians. Few
people know that at the present day
there are whole communities in
France whose only habitations are
followed in the rocky hillsides and
whose entire business life is carried
on in caves. We are riding on the
road to Vouvray when suddenly, at
a turn near Rochecorbon, this first
town of cliff jewellers burst upon US.
High above US lowered a huge mass
of overhanging rock, strata upon
strata, bearing upon it's summit a
most peculiar tower, supposed to have
been a watch tower in age gone by.
Its foundations hung over the rock
upon which they were built and it
seemed as though it would crash
down at any moment upon the village
beneath. Scattered over the face of
the cliff, doors and windows, narrow
stairways and little belvideres could
be seen, habitation upon habitation, in
most picturesque disorder.-Scrtb-
