Hoboken officials do not seem to have the awe
Of Mrs. Hetty Green before their eyes and fall
short Of a due appreciation Of the honor which
Mrs. Green confers upon that fortunate COM
munity by eonsenting to dwell now and then
within It's borders in the intervals of frequent
Journeys to Chicago. These f1ippant and frivo-
lous holders OF salaried places have been harass-
ing Mrs. Green witt importunate insistence
that she shall pay dog license for pet terrier.
Mrs. Green is naturally indignant. VIII she

from the depths below came the meas
ured sound OF a saw. As though by
magic command every sound was
hushed and a stiffness fell over the
expectant mass OF humanity; every
ear was strained TO hear the sound OF
the mighty steel blade as IL slowly
cut it's way into the large oak plank
which alone separated the sliding and
the creased ways. AS the bottle Of
champagne was surrendered to Miss
White the silence that pervaded the
yard was oppressive. Suddenly there
was a snap the cracking Of timber.
and for an instant, the monster hull
quivered on it's bed.
Gathering strength and clutching
the gayly decked bottel more firmly

ways, Miss White, the proudest young
woman In America, quickly broke the
bottle against the receding bow As

About Weddinu Rinos.

At one time the wedding ring was
worn on the forefnger and was thick
ly studded with precious stones. Peo-
pie VINO have seen the old pictures of
the Madonna in Rome will remember
that in one or two of them there is
glistening ring on the forefinger of
her right hand. but with Christianity
came the wearing Of the wedding ring
on the third finger rather than the
first.
The old story of there being a vein
that runs from that finger to the heart
is nonsense. Its use originated in this
way:
The priest first put 1t on the thumb
saying; In the name OF the Father"
on the forefinger, adding. "ln the
name of the Som" on. the second
finger, repeating, "in the name of the
Holy Ghost" and on the third finger.

the times of Manah. the first king of
the first dynasty. and with the stone
age which preceded him. The neo-
lithic lasted until very varying dates

Car pamaoed on Bridal Trip.

demand on f. p. Woolston Of Denver
for 5000 damages to the sleeper in
which he recently made his bridal
trip. 1t seems that the car was cap
tured by Woolston's friends and deco
rated in a unique manner. Mems and
women's shoes ana old horseshoes
and banners and things were nailed
to the windows of the Pullman
sleeper. inside and out. Nails were
driven into the car with as much
abandon az If 1t had been a picket
fence. When the sleeper got back TO
Denver from Ogden 1t is said that
it looked as II 1t had been the target

WERE ALL FULLY CLOTHED.
A Story Showing Mask is Sometimes
as Good as a Bathing Suit.


A party of much-traveled men were
returning one hot night last week
from Manhattan Beach, when the CON
versation turned to the salt water
bathing customs of the countries they
had visited.
An Englishman told how the women
of his native land took their dip apart
from the men and clothed In hideous
garments resembling nightgowns.
A Frenchman described the bare
legged frolics of the gay Partisan
women summering by the sea.
An American explained how the
sexes, absolutely unclothed. enter the
waters of Japan, with nothing but
bamboo rods to mark the more or less
imaginary line dividing the men from
the women.
"Ah." interposed the Englishman,
how immodest,"
Yes, perhaps" observed a Chris
tianized Turk, who was one OF the
party, but in my country the men
and women do the same, except that
each man and woman preserves mod
esty by wearing a white mask"
Suppose" said the American, you
should wish to battle without the
mask?"
"Ah," replied the Turk, you must
wear the mask-it Is the bathing cos
tume,"-New York Sun.

the distance between PozzuoH and
Pompeii Is about thirty miles. 1t Is
not unreasonable. therefore. TO ex-

fresco in which what seems the "Judg-

sented. though the figures are dwarfs.

described as the first representation
of sacred subject yet found In Pom

and pull them close over the knees.
For the beginning of stroke put
both oars into the water with blades
straight and sunk In the water the
width of a blade. Then apply power
on both oars at the same time, and
with a straight leg drive you will get
n full stroke. As to the finish of
stroke 1t is the most important.
''As you are about to finish drop
your wrist close to the abdomen. BY
turning your wrist this takes the blade
out and feathers the oars. Then
straighten your arms toward your feet
and. by pulling up on the stretcher
with the feet. you will come up to the
end OF the slide.
THE seat in the boat is on rollers,
which run on a track with guides and
stops, that keep the seat on the tracks.
There are two slippers in the boat for
your feet and they should be firmly
laced. Then you can operate the seat
with the oars at the same time. They
also act as a brace for the feet in
pulling, backing. or turning, and In
stopping a boat they act as guide to
keep you on the seat.
"In all probability at first you Will
not want your slippers laced, but they
must be. for when they are there is

for the shore.
When your body is in glow after
a good row take sponge or shower
bath, which will cool the body. and
then rub yourself dry with Turkish or
rough towel. You will find your nerves
gradually getting into splendid condi-
ton, and a sleepless night will be

THE way in which girl is dressed
is an important matter in her rowing
exercise.
Before l get into boat and after
a row wear a sailor blouse and
short skirt over my rowing suit, which
consists of trunks and stockings com
bined with sleeveless shirt. l have
found this suit to be the simplest and
the best. as it does away with all i'm
pediments and allows free action OF
the legs and arms. II you care to. add
a plain little skirt. and your costume
is complete.
There are other suits woman can
wear in rowing. but the oarswoman
must remember that If she wears
skirt of any length 1t will get caught
in the wheels OF the seat. If the bloom
ers are too large they will meet with
the same fate, and II the blouse Is
too ample from the waist to the arm
