Az AUSTRALIAN ARMY.
Cen. liulton's Scheme for OrsAni nation
OF the COlpny's Forces.

A scheme proposed by Major-Gen Sir
Edward Hutton for the creation Of an
Australian Commonwealth Army has been
recommended for adoption by the Au-
qtralian Federal Executive Council Gen.
Hutton was sent our to Melbourne two years
ago, intrusted with the mission to pave
the way for "a reorganization OF the local
forces aud his work has already borne fruit.
The plan comprises two distinct forces:
One mobile field force, fully equipped
and trained for military operations In the
ficlH. the other a garrison force, for the pro-
ecton OF the strategcal points
The nobile field force will consist en-
tireiy of militia. comprising six brigades
of cavalry three of infantry and the proper
proportion of artillery. On tho peace
footing there will be 1891 men and 90
guns; on the war footing, 27,76s men and
- guDs.
The garrison force VIII consist mainly
of volunteers, numbering in all II 500 naeB
and % :;4ns.
The present permanent troops will also
remain, and will form nucleus OF artillery
garrisons for fixed offences. and an instruc-
ton force for the volunteers and the militia.
The militia will be- available for active Geld
operations within the limits imposed by
the Defence bill now before Parliament,
while the volunteers will be responsible
for the local or State defence.
The preponderance Of cavalry In the
scheme of organization is due to tho great
need of the British Army in that arm, and
to the excellent service rendered BY the
Australian mounted infantry In South
Africa. The eighteen regiments q keht
horse thus provided for will be vNnnAh

1t Is just after the chimes Of old Trinity
have proclaimed noon that the paths among
the tombstones ia the churchyard begin TO
blossom with picture hats and ribbons,
1t is the photographers hour at Trinity.
The grave yard has become park, picnic
ground, TRUSTING place
From the low slabs girls swing their feet
contentedly, holding book in one hand
and q cracker In the other. On the steps
Of the shaft commemorating the heroes
Of the Revolution they do homage to sand
| witches and fruit, and in out of-the- way
! places, OH the grass beneath little trees
| in far corners. you may see them engrossed
| In tales Of love, except now and then when
| they take bite of pie.
But not all are absorbed in imaginary
| love and luncheon. At noon Cupid Launts
the churchyard. IL you had the right kind
OF eyes you might see him perched on a
| tombstone, waiting.
Frequently when the gravel crunches a
| girl will glance up expectantly. Suddenly
! the color rushes to her cheeks. She bows
and smiles and hastily puts aside her cake.
They sit down together, these two, and
| forget the swift stream OF life outside the
| fence and the day 3 cares. Cupid looks
| pleased and skips TO another tombst one
! 1t Is peaceful here beneath the trees.
The head keeper. who watches all with
a fatherly eye, says that there have been
! many avowals of love and matches made
| in the graveyard during the lunch hour.
But the minute hand on the big clock
above keeps on its logged course. How
ever thrilled the girl may be- who has been
listening with downcast eyes she can t
quite forget this mentor that SO sternly
measures off her time of duty.
An anxious expression fits across her
face and she glances up at that minute
hand.
Good gracious, it's five minutes to Il"
she exclaims Il really must he going,
Harry But tomorrow, right here in the
same place. Until then good-by dear. "
When the chimes announce that il is
o'clock you notice that they have lost
some of the note of joy and triumph that
was theirs when they proclaimed the noon
hour, for the churchyard is no longer gay
with picture hats and ribbons II Is quite
sombre now and is given over to the tourists
who neglect venerable and worthy stones
to inspect the very oldest, and who want
to know "the name of this cathedral.

HER HAIR AT Auction.
A Maine Girl Raises Money TO Pay for

CAsrINE, Me, Aug. % For more than
a year the members of the Union Church
have been making efforts to pay of the
mortgage on the property and get money
enough to paint the building on the out

call az all hours, asking for contributions
TO the cause.
This month the parishioners held a church
fair to secure money that was needed i'm
mediately Most of the summer color,ists
attended, paying the admission fee and
sitting back to witness the performance
which had been announced.
After prayer and singing tho pastor
announced that Miss Bessie Smythe,
daughter Of a farmer who lived on the
Orland road had consented to sell her
hair at auction and to have IL cut of III the
presence Of the company to be given to

went home wearing her hair and knowing
that the church will be painted from tip

HERE'S A SHOELACE CRAZE
For Making Things In Many DcslGns-Plnln'
field, n. D., Has n BADLY.

PLAINFIELp, n. j., Aug. 22,-This town
is stricken to the centre by new epidemic,
The mosquitoes came early in the season,
but they have passed away, and are no
longer a plague. These and other evils
have at times been grossly exaggerated
by the newspapers and gossips Of the town.
But the epidemic now present has been
raging for the past three weeks, and Is
beyond the chance of ever being eSag-
gerated. 1t is the epidemic Of the penGe t
shoelace
The shoe latch Of history has always
been lowly creature, typifying humility.
To-day in Plainfield il is a triumphant ar
ticle Of industry occupying the father,
mother, sister, brother and baby Of the
family. IL has stimulated household ac-
tivities and industrial enterprise. 1t has
made employment for thousands of hands,
and has encroached on the sacred pre-
cincts Of the opponents of child labor,
notwithstanding that Mother Jones was
here recently 1t came originally from
| the Southern States, the home of the hook
worm, but it is the exact opposite of that
enervating disease.
The form the epidemic takes is that Of
making, out of common shoelaces. an I'M
limited series of useful articles, such as
watch fobS, neckWear, BABY rat les, women y
belts and hundred other u,i tiles Watch
fobs are made in nearly fifty designs, long
and short, square and round, with charms
in the centre and end, and also with loose
ends OF the lace, frayed out carefully,
making an ornamental fringe. For the
| modest they are made of black laces, but
the colors cover every shade Of the rainbow
to meet a variety Of tastes.
Ladies belts are made in many styles
plated fiat with eight or ten long laces,
and variously finished. These are bet ter
than the ordinary ribbon belt and inspire
a feeling Of great security in the work
performed.
Other articles are made in great pro-
fusion. Shoe dealers have practically gone
out of the shoe business and are now sell
ing shoe laces Some dealers have EN-
ployed extra clerks 10 handle the bust
ness and have to open earlier to accom-
modate the rush, and they almost break
the rules Of the Clerks Association, which
provide that all Planheld stores shall close
al Q O'Clock Each day brings forth some
new design requiring Il new supply.
The future in this trade cannot he esti-
| mated. The epidemic breaks out in spots.
Bankers. merchants, laborers and profess
sional men make these pendants, not only
at home, but also during business hours.
Studied from an economic standpoint the
epidemic has made great changes in the
cotton industry, and the whole textile trade

Habits You May Form TO PrOlonE Life
Every woman, so the story goes. carries
with her signs which to the o1peri-
enced tell whether she will live long. Here
are some Of the supposed signs OF longevity
The eyes must be round and wide rather
than long and narrow and II they are brown
or hazel life will be longer than II they
were black or violet
The neck must be full and pilar-iikc,
| rather than slender.
The brow must be ample and slops
| back slightly from an absolute perpendiou-
lar The head must he wide behind and
over the ears.
The mouth must be full and we'll set, and
the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full through
It's whole length, and have open, easily
dilating nostrils This indicates a good
heart and good lungs.
Ii the orIfce of the ear Ia low, danoting
q deeply seated brain. there III better
chance OF long life.
The woman who appears taller in proper
ton when sitting down than when stand
ing has good chance to live long. IL the
body IL long in proportion TO the limbs. the
heart, lungs and digestive organs are large.
The pulse should beat with full and normal
stroke. Limbs and joints should be large
and well formed, the flesh neither too hard
nor too soft
Those who resemble their mothers may
expect to live longest. and the first born
is longer lived than other children. For
example sister born ten years before
another sister is supposed TO have ei1 years
greater duration OF life.
1t is we'll known that women live longer
than men, but SO far there is no satisfac-
tory explanation of why this il so, Out OF a
million people. 225 women and only 50 men
reach the age OF 100 years. Maybe it is be-
cause woman gets more sleep than man.
for the longer q person sleeps the longer
will life last Nearly all long-lived people
have been great seepers. When M. uo
LessepS was on the ocean he would sheep
twenty hours al stretch. Gladstone
averaged twelve hours sleep day. A
man or woman who would learn to sleep
eighteen hours day might live 200 years.
One of the secrets Of longevity, there
fore, is to take plenty Of sleep, Other rlles
which the seeker after length Of days should
observe are these:
Sleep on the right side.
Keep the bedroom window open all night.
Don't take cold tub in the morning. but
bath the temperature OF the body.
Don't allow any pets In the living room.
They may carry disease germs.
Take daily exercise in the open air, and
live in the country; ii rot all the year, At
least for five or ak months.
Occasionally change yolr occupation.
Take frequent and short holidays
Watch the three DIS drinking water,
dampness and drains.
Limit your ambitions
Keep your temper.
Worry less, work more ride less, walk
more: drink less, breathe more; eat leas,
chew more; preach less. practise moro.

The adventurous American housewife
straying into the foreign quarters some
times pauses at the window OF the Italian
grocery and wonders il the things inside
are fit to eat.
She peers in at the queer-shaped cheeses,
the quaint patterns Of macaroni, the
canned things with pictures Of Vesuvius or
Queen Margherita on their fiamboyant
covers, and wonders if the dim, mysteri-
GUS interior contains anything that would
add variety to her own table. She might
find number of things that would do so

No people are more devoted TO their
native foods than the Italians, and Italian
groceries filled with imported eatables
flourish in all the different colonies OF the
city. The price of the imported goods is

The most striking feature Of every Ital-
ian grocery il the amount and variety OF
macaroni spread to view Avisitor counted
fifty varieties in a store on Mulberry
street the other day. They ranged from
pastina, fine grains like rice, made for
soup, and "hlolini," or little threads,
punches of hair-ike filaments, up to great
sticks half an inch In diameter.
Yet all the difference seems to be merely
in shape. size and design. With the ex-
|ception of the yellow variety, which has
saffron in it, all macaroni seems to be OF the
same taste and quality. But macaroni
