A COMMUNICATION,
Astoria. May u. lsos.

Astoria, May u, 1908,
Editor Astorian: In response tc
quite general belief on the part Of
those Interested in the urlift OF hu-
manity, that Astoria needs more whole
some attractions for young men and
boys ON February ss. the ladies of the
w. c, T, u, with voluntary help on
the part OF few gentlemen, opened
their room In the evenings for reading,
games and soeiahility,
That the room has been kept open 81
evenings out of ~ Is due to the faithful
ness OF the men in charge as well as to
Mrs. Rannells, who rounded up n man
from somewhere when a vacancy by
sickness or business engagement oe~
cured.
\ record kept of only IS Of these ev-
enings shows an average attendance of
a little over is, With one young peo-
ples meeting and one song service,
Last evening there were II web behav-
ed boys in ATTENDANCE.
While IL different gentlemen have
had charge. the burden has been borne
by about six.
The board of managers. with the
ladies' OF the W. c. T. u, now feel
that this busy season and while all
nature calls to open air II Is pressing
good nature too far TO try TO keep the
room open during the summer. Ac-
cordingly at their meeting today they
voted to close the room tonight for the
summer--much to their regret.
But they hope the way may be open
ed in the fall for an improved room
with larger outlook and with a SAL
aried man in charge,
While the patronage OF the room may
not have been the same for which there
seemed a demand. the experiment has
shown greater need among certain
neglected class of boys.
The board Of managers feel that
these few months have had something
of refreshing influence on this class.
The Sunday evening Bible class con-
Quoted by MIR. Gheen has been more or
less marked for good,
The ladies. realizing that the gentle
men who seconded their effort have
done so for the betterment of their fell
low -men, desire TO sincerely thank them
for their assistance,
We feel that this experiment has not
been failure and hope II may pave
the way for something better and more
permanent in which all our citizens
may have an interest and pride.
Respectfully,
Mrs. c. A. Gearhart,
Pres. Board of Managers.

TO 'PHONE TO LONDON.
Converse Between England and
America Within a Year.

Prophecy is dangerous thing, but
with full realization of its pitfalls
a London correspondent ventures the
following prediction: Within three
months, probably before New Years
direct Geographic communication with
out intermediate repeating stations
will be established for the first time
between New York and London, and
kilograms will be exchanged with a
speed of more than four times the pre-
vious capacity of any cable.
He says he is tempted to go a step
farther and express the strong expec-
tation that within year it will be as
feasible to converse by telephone be-.
tween New York and London as it is
across Manhattan.
Perhaps it is we'll to confess that it
is easy to prophecy when you know.
The feat of rapid communication
between London and New York, as a
matter of fact, has been greatly sur
passed recently in actual practice.
The problem OF cheap, rapid, long
distance communication has been
solved, and the credit for this signal
triumph of modern science belongs to
England.
When the permission of the inven-
tors is obtained, more than this gen.
eral announcement will be made.

ETIQUETTE OF WIGS.
Bald Men, by Exercising Care, May
Complete the Illusion
They Seek.

The bald headed man who is not re-
| signed to his fate, and who is posted
on the etiquette of wig wearing,
adorns himself with faithful copy of
nature which Stimulates his poverty
instead of her wealth. For an artistic
| wig for a man is usually made thin or
nearly bald on the crown, so as to al
lay suspicion. When the wig is adjust
ed to the mans head the pink scalp
shows through the white net CT foun-
dalton at the crown, thus leaving a
modest suggestion of badness. This is
the first principle of the etiquette OF
wig wearing-claim too little rather
than too much of natures covering,
says the Chicago Tribune.
This principle is carried to refine
ment of perfection by the man who
can afford the luxury of buying several
wigs, for he may then make the transit
ton from badness to a semblance of
his former self cover a space of two or
three years, and thus complete the de-
ception, which is the aim o, all wear
ers of wigs.
A cardinal point in the etiquette of
wig wearing is that one should not
wear his wig in bed. 1t is not proper!
Some, either from motives of extreme
vanity or from an unwillingness to
shock the delicate sensibilities of their
families, sleep in their wigs. This
practice is condemned unhesitatingly.
1t is uncleani One should substitute
for the wig worn during the day a
simple nightcap of muslin to insure
one against taking cold.
In the morning, as the last touch Of
perfection to the toilet, the wig should
be delicately adjusted, and then glued
| to ones head. If this adjustment is
carefully made, and if one is wearing a
really fine wig, he may defy both wind
and sunlight to betray that things
are not what they seerl."
This careful adjustment of the wig is
most important point. 1t requires
eternal vigilance, since single care
less adjustment means ruin. Along the
edge of the wig of ordinary size are
five spots about half the size of pen
ny, where the paste or glue is applied
with which the wig is made fast to the
head. The paste must be carefully ap-
piled, since if it comes in contact with
the hair it destroys it's lifelike appear
ance.
A practice generally observed by the
wearers of fine wigs is that of dressing
the hair in variety of ways. This is
desirable, since it suggests natural
head of hair, yet this practice is per-
fectly possible with really fine wig,
every hair of which is separately at
tached to the net foundation.

Provision. from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in
Sumatra, Algeria and China which is
known as the vegetable tallow tree.
From it's fruit large quantities of oil
and tallow are extracted, and the fruit
is gathered in November or December,
when all the leaves have fallen. Ex-
cellent candles are made from the ber-
ries of tree which grows in some parts
of South Africa and the Azores. At
Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit
tree, the fruit of which is very agree
able in taste. In Ceylon there is the
bread fruit tree, from which food is
made in the same way that we make
bread. 1t is said to be equally good
and nutritious. In South America we
find the milk tree.-Philadelphi

THE COURAGEOUS BLIND.
They Are Distinguished for Sweet
ness and Lofty Resignation
Under an Appalling Test.

Of the physical Affections which come
to human life, hopeless blindness, seiz-
ing on it's victim in youth or in active
middle age, seems in anticipation the
most terrible. Even the agonizing
forms of mortal disease, like cancer, are
self-limited, and their very acuteness in
vokes all that sympathy and nursing can
do for their alienation. But the blind
are soon left to settle down to the dreary
round of semihelplessness, and their i'm
prisonment suggests sympathy only to
the stranger. To their own little world
1t becomes a, matter of course, says
Youths Companion.
Yet in spite of this appalling test of
human endurance, the blind are distin-
guished for sweetness and lofty resigna-
ton. The finality of their doom doubt
less contributes something to their cour-
age. But when we get to the heart of
their resignation, we generally find that
out of their enforced darkness has
sprung communication with God more
sustained than that enjoyed by others.
The. gulf between the seen and the un-
seen narrows for them day by day. They
learn to believe in friend, child, wife,
husband, whom they cannot see. Why
not in God?
They live much within themselves,
and think deeply of the things of the
spirit. Soon they begin to reckon their
blessings instead of their miseries. With
that change comes peace.
Of those blessings there is none more
often counted than well-stored mem

eyes, am" he replied "My oculist
tells me that in three months shall be
blind. am spending the time in look
ing at the mountains and in learning by
heart the Psalms of David"
A strong, active woman was stricken
with blindness when she was 40 years
old. For the first year the burden was
almost greater than she could bear.
Then the depression was slowly lifted,
and she became the light and cheer of
the household.
There's one thing for which I can
never be thankful enough" she said to
visitor. 81 had made it a practice
ever since l was girl to read the Bible
through every year. Just three years
before lost my eyesight it occurred to
me that for year or two I would give
the time l had for the Bible to learning
some of my favorite chapters by heart.
So memorized passage after passage,
and they have been worth everything to
me since have been blind. Wasn't it
wonderful blessing that should have
had that thought? 1t seems to me
never appreciated my memory until
was blind, and am sure did not know
what comfort there was in the Bible"

Armor Worn Nowadays.

Some officers of the British army now
wear armour. AS general rule the
mail is inclosed in leather casing
which is sewn inside the tunic so as to
be invisible unless the garment is picked
to pieces. And the same with helmets
a similar device is fixed as lining, so az
to give additional protection in case
of need. Some officers are not above
wearing mail vests underneath their
TUNES and perfectly obvious to their
comrades, who, although they may
scott in time of peace, would be only too
glad to don one themselves when in the
middle of hostilities. The majority of
the makers customers are officers, be-
cause the suits are naturally very ex-
pensive-
