FRESH AIR CURES.
Roofs of Houses the Best Hospitals
For the Sick.

Fresh air cures have assumed nu-
merous forms during the past few
years of medical progress. and roof
gardens may be considered among tho
phases OF this movement. To stay out
OF doors during warm weather, day and
night II possible, to breathe the pure
ar and gain life and strength thereby
is remedy which nature offers. even
IN this Northern country, at least a
portion of the year. Why 1t ia not
more OFTEN taken advantage of is a
question worth asking. For the value
OF fresh air cannot be estimated.
:, In Oriental countries the roofs of
houses are utilized for sleeping pur-
poses, being considered the hest nIace
for obtaining restful sIumber. Ri,t In
the Northern countries it is only the
poorer classes who seek the roof on
not nights, being driven into the air
because OF the blistering atmosphere
within their poorly ventilated tene-
ments or cabins. The weather. classes
manage to have sleeping apartments in
their homes cool enough for COMPARE
1--WE comfort, or they flee to the sea-
side or the mountains for the summer
But the idea that, although the cool
air Is good for the healthy individual.
LIS dangerous for the person who is
Ill, has not yet taken firm root In the
public mind. However, there is at least
one roo1 garden in Detroit where the
convalescents are carried to stay on
pleasant days, that of the Chtldren,s
Free Hospital
In Philadelphia the physicians in
charge have carried this idea a step
further. The top of the Philadelphfa
hospital is to be used as roof garden
for tuberculous patients. The hospital
roof, 20 byl150 feet, is covered with a
canvas rooT to which are attached
side flaps for use when protection from
the sun or rain is necessary, and will
be fitted UP with beds, so that patients
may be kept in the open air twenty
four hours of the day. DIR. Martin ia
quoted as saying that not only as a
mere sleeping place and a space to
work about in has this been planned
Ii is expected that flowers and shrub
berry will be scattered about on the
roof, and that 1t will be really gar
oen. with walks and shade, attractive

aids and Checks Are Due for Prominence Again This Season

Plaids and check are to have another
season of prominence, as the most cas-
ual glance at the counters laden with
new material shows. Every material
shows a wide range of color combina-
ton, especially theF Scotch mixtures,
which are to be so highely popular.
Nothing is more suitable for tailored
costumes of the most severe type than
these suitings, which, with their near
relations, the Scotch tweeds, are here,
in such varieties. In the latter the
check is more frequently found with
clearer effect, and of these checks the
various combinations of black and
white, and black and gray, also differ
ent shades of grasEsand white, with a
line of black to define the block.
In the latter color the gown illus
trated over a light steel gray taffeta
foundation. The tweed skirt is circular,
with inverted plait back. and is very
little longer at the back, where the
fullness is in inverted plaits.
The coat is three-quarter length,
with fitted back having French seams
to the shoulder and none at the center,

ABOUT FuRs FOR WOMEN.

That soft, earth-colored fur, mole
skin, is in great vogue this fall. Women
who dress carefully will greet it as
relief from the monotonous gray SOUR
rel and the snowy ermine. There is a
mall chance of moleskin becoming
common this winter Owing to the de-
mand, mole pelts are extremely scarce,
for less than $500. Nor ismoleskin
used only for outer garments. Dress
makers use great deal of it for gown
trimming and naole-deeked evening
gowns will be worn by many fashion,
able women. One furrier is blending
mole with ermine, and the contrast is
striking. Milliners are not slow to
realize that moleskin is the rage and a
toque composed completely of it is ap-
praised at $50.
A furrier said of the newest fad in
furs: Not through any preference
are we pushing moleskin. 1 tell you
every fur is SO scarce that furriers do
not know which way to turn. To wear
fine furs in America now really de-
notes prosperity, as velvet gowns did
thirty years ago. This popularity in
America has depleted the supply, and
in the markets Of Europe prices are
soaring. It is almost impossible to buy
sable. Mink is scarce and gray squirrel
is more expensive than ever. If the
demand for ermine continues the little
white animal will be almost extinct
The fur markets of Europe are emptied
The furriers conferred year ago and
determined to launch a new fur They
settled on mole because of its common
ness. The dunes of Scotland are alive
with moles, and in New York state they
are plentiful. At that time moleskins
were worth only 20 cents each. Now

Claus spreckeIs' Daughter.

HONOLULU, Sept. 29.-The attor-
neys for Claus Spreckels assert that. the
marriage of Mrs. Thomas Watson,
daughter Of Mr.. Spreckels, to Mr.. Wat
son is void. Mrs. Watson, now Of Eng
land, is suing her father for the re-
covery of a block of Honolulu property
valued at 100000, which she conveyed
to him soon after her marriage, in 1894.
The marriage led to an estrangement
between daughter and parents, and
Mrs. Watson returned the property
which had previously been presented
to her by her father. The present suit
is based on the fact that Mrs. Watson's
deed of conveyance did not bear her
husbands signature. Mr.. SpreckelS'
attorneys allege that Mr. Watson had
been previously married in 1859, and
that the divorce which he secured in
Utah, in 1876, was illegal and that con-
sequently his second marriage is void

ADVOCATES SLANG
AN EASTERN PROFESSOR THINKS
SLANG DESIRABLE
1t Is Common Among Boys and Girls
and Is Not Becoming to Women
coeducation Is Failure in Eastern
Colleges.

The professor who said he liked
slang and would encourage persons to
use it is a brave man. There is slang.
and slang. In boys and young men 1t is
not so bad, although it becomes tire
some at times. But the slang that is
used by girls and young women is
seldom anything but disgusting The.
girls of the present day need no encour-
agement to use it. There is now and
then a slang expression that comes in.
very we'll and is more expressive than
ordinary language, and used judicious-
ly is rather attractive. But to hear the
conversation of the school girls in street
cars or on the street is really appall-
ing at times. Strange to say, they not
only use the worst kind of slang, but
they never use the whole of a word
when they can abbreviate it in any
way. They always say Met for the
Metropolitan, and going to the SHOW"
for play, and others that are far more
objectionable. Slang in girls is not de-
sirable, but unpleasantly common,
Not only are they Slangy, but the
girls one sees in street cars or on the
street are always talking about boys.
HE said this" or che said that one
invariably hears.
One will say that this is harmless
enough. and so it is; but it is a ques-
ton whether coeducation is not re-
SponS1ble Tor good deal that is not
desirable. In the Eastern colleges there
is a reaction against it, but 1t is not
likely that in the public schools it will
ever be abolished
There are, of course, two sides to
this question. But every one will ad-
nit that the girl who has been educated
elbow to elbow with a young man will
never be in the least abashed in any sit
uation. There is a certain something
that a girl loses when she is educated
in this way, and this something is
just what certain mothers are very glad
to have her lose. The timid, shrinking
girl has forever gone out of modern
life. If there is one she ought to be
put in a museum and exhibited.
Some mothers will think this too Sc
we're; others there are who will not con-
slider it half severe enough. But the
separation of the two sexes in eduea-
ton is growing; there are now in this
very city three times as many schools
for girls as there were ten years ago,
and they are all flourishing. Indeed,
in some of the Eastern schools they do
not hesitate to say that co-education
has failed. 1t may be better for the
boys in school to have the tanning
effect of feminine society, but it is
great question whether it is not
very bad thing for the girls
That professor did a foolish thing
when he advocated slang. 1t is ex-
pressive, but it's common use has re-
suited in conversational degeneracy.

he sent the minister the Justice of
the peace, and the postmaster, but Miss
Sarah was firm. She gave them cur
rant wine to drink and cakes seasoned
with caraway seeds to nibbIe on, but
when it came to the miIldam business.
her answer was: "There'n be no mill
dam here for Deacon Carter's second
wife to boat around on unless I'm the
person"
Three times more did the deacon call
and breach the subject He had figures
to prove that a milldam would almost
make fashionable watering place of
Liverpool on the one hand and almost
Chicago in business way on the other,
but Miss Sarah looked out of the sit
ting-room window in a vacant way.
He spoke of boat rides by moonlight
and skating carnivals and he explained
how he meant to stock it with fish and
supply 1t with gondolas, but she sewed
carpet rags and was silent. 1t was only
when he soothingly said: Come Sary,
sign the paper" that she turned to him.,
with:
"JabeZ, after the preacher has united
us for life, We'll walk down to the river
and select the place for the milldam.
Don't bother me any more today, as I'm
dreadfully busy
The deacon wanted that milldam, and
he wanted II bad, and without Sarah
to hang on for two or three years in
hopes she'd marry some one else.
circumstances were against him,
however. The people in the village be-
low began to talk milldam, millpond
and sawmill, and there was fear that
charter would be applied for and Liy-
erpool left high and dry. 1t was thus
that the deacon found himself in a
tight place.
1t was either milldam with Miss
Sarah thrown in or no milldam at all.
and, after signing and grooming over
the situation for three days, he knocked
at the old maids door,
Glad to see you, Jabez," said Miss
Sarah, as she placed chair for him.
I've come about that milldam again."
he said as he sat down.
Yes, was expecting YOU
you once-once@"
Asked for your hand and heart and
was refused How is it now?"
Il think I'LL say yes"
And take the milldam, the millpond
and the sawmill along with me- Very
well. JabeZ. I'll have the last Of the
carpet rags out of the way by o'clock
and you can come over at that time and
bring the preacher"
The deacon and the preacher were on
hand at the hour named and the people
at Liverpool are a unit in saying that
he has never had reason to regret his
bargain.-St. Louis World.
