BUYS BRITIsHH aooDs.s

Princess of Wales Refnses to wean Gowns Made Abroad. London correspondence to Chicago ChronicIe.
 The Princess of Wales has set an ex- l ample of patriotism to the women of the realm that Is receiving the highest praise. She has directed her modiste
 to procure nothing for her wardrobe
 that is not wholly of British manufac- ture. At the recent Bradford exhibition
 her royal highness was greatly inter- ested in the manufacture of textile fa-
 brics. and made some unusual purchases of goods. She was especially intereet- ed in the display of wooIen goods mada there. This Is recently established industry at Bradford. Hitherto the city has been known mainly for al- pacas and serses, suitings and lininra and heavy stuffs. which are not SO fashionable now. Business became less prosperous and the manufacturers met
 to take stock of their position and found they had allowed the French and the Germans to get ahead.
 However. they soon woke up. They put in fresh machinery and struck out various new lines. A great deal was also done by the dyers' Combination Then they turned their attention to ed- ucation. Bradford has had a technical college for long time. It was opened thirty-five years ago by the King as Prince of Wales, but it had gone to sleep, too.
 However, few years back, 1t was municipalized and a strong committees was appointed, and now the number of students has been doubled and $5o,00O has just been spent to enlarge it.
 The manufacturers throughout the country generally feel greatly encour- aged by the Princess's attitude. They know that women all over the realm will follow in her footsteps, and as a consequence they are looking for a considerable increase in their trade.

War Humor.

War has it's humorous side" said General Nelson A. Miles, though the .. humor is always grim. Tn one of my most perilous Indian campaigns I overheard a group of pri- yates saying good night to one an- other on the eve of an engagement These youths were in different regi- ments. They knew the coming fight would be hot one. They knew 1t was probable enough that they would never see one another again.
 And so, as they separated, one of them said:
 Well. goodbye, boys. As the coons said when the dogs made after them. we'll all meet at the hatters.'"

Miss Mary Richmond of Philadelphia is one of the noted charity workers of America.
 As the executive head of the Phila- deIphia Society for Organizing Charity Miss Richmond has made a thorough study of all sorts of beggars, and some of the beggars she has met must have been amusing characters. There is one for instance, a New England beggar who used to tramp about in the twi- light, saying to every housewife who answered to his knUcK:
 "Will you give me drink of water. lady. for I'm so hungry l don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight?"

One on a War Censor.

"The war correspondents greatest !ficulty,'i said Richard Harding Da- wis, lis the censorship
 He smiled. Then he resumed.
 '9The brilliant and unfortunate Stew en Crane was one of the reporters of the Greco Turkish war. In a certain skirmish the Turkish forces turned tail and fled. Crane wrote the story of this skirmish and then submitted his man. uscript to the Turkish censor.
 ''The censor read it gravely.
 This will have to be toned down, he said. And. where Crane had writ ten that the Turks had fled, the cen- sor made it that they had retired In good order; where Crane had said they had turned tail. he made it that they had fallen back steadily. Finally the censor came to the expression routed and he drowned intently, unable to think of an euphemism for 'rout.'
 "1 can't think he said, of milder expression than this one here-"the Turks were routed" Can you help me: You are a writer
 Crane answered gravely:
 eff I were you I'd simply say that the indomitable Turks changed front and advanced.'"

Tobacco Smoke and the Blood.

Two or three mouthfuls Of tobacco
smoke from cigarette were shaken up
with few drops of blood diluted with
water in bottle. Almost Immediately
the blood assumed the pink color char
acteristic of blood containing monoxide
gas, and further observations with the
spectroscope confirmed the presence in
the blood of carbon monoXide. Similar
~ few mouthfuls Of smoke from a
pipe and cigar were tried, and the re-
suits were even more marked. In this
experiment we have some explanation
in particular of the evil effects of ciga-
rette smoking, for it is chiefly cigarette
smoke that is inhaled, an indulgence by
which the poisonous carbon monoxide
is introduced directly into the blood.
This effect of tobacco smoke upon the
blood appears to us to be Of consider
able significance.-London Lancet.

One day Whistler entered the atelier

red background had been arranged be-
hind the model. At once he directed
something of duller tone to be substi-
tuted, and he scraped the red paint off
the canvas of one Of the pupils, putting
in it's place another background. But
the red would show through. He scrap
ed, studied and worked laboriously to
get something that pleased him. The
rest of the class surrounded the easel
and eagerly watched the master. He
looked up finally and said, II suppose
you know what I am trying to dor
"Oh, yes, sir" they all chorused. "Well,
it's more than d." he replied grimly

The aarai.e.. q rr....


An expert nurseryman says the hard
iness or nonhardiness Of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees in question sprang came
from. Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced by planting seed obtain
ed from the sunny south, say. By plant
ing seeds generally farther north, how.
ever, trees may be ut length hardened
and acclimated until seed from such
tree may be reasonably expected to
thrive and mature its fruits.
Trees, like people, acquire their hab-
Its from the climate in which they live.
The northern tree knows instinctively
when the time has come to ripen its
fruits. The southern tree follows the
same instinct, being in no hurry, as
there is little likelihood of real cold
With transplantings farther north its
habit changes.
The great trouble with most people is
that they want to jump tree from
south to north at one move. This same
idea is evident in the attempt to bring
various fruit trees from Russia to the
northern United States.

A Defence of Dancing.

It is not necessary in these days to
defend the claim of the dance to a
place among the arts. AS soon as we
have got rid of the Puritan prejudice
on the point (and one may hope that
this no longer exists for the intelligent
part of the population) the claim is too
overwhelming to need apology, for if
we take art to mean the production Of
beauty then the case only needs stating
to be conceded, while If we understand
it as self expression in some concrete
form we shall find that the dance,
which is kind of fusion of music,
painting and sculpture, is pre-eminent-
~ capable Of giving expression beyond
the possibility of words to the basic,
and therefore largely inarticulate, parts
Of our nature-the hunger Of the spirit
and the Joy of life.-London Outlook.

Queer Korean Ways.

The women of the commonalty are
voluble and vixenish and ever ready to
slap handful of stars into the eyes
Of a husband or into those of timid
and shrinking tourist should the &C.
casion arise. The women of the upper
class are vigorously excluded from mas
culine eyes, and hearty vote of thanks
Is due the committee who fathered this
unwritten law. The dainty little jap
anese musmee, lettering along in SAN
dals or on wooden geta, is Il genuine
relief to the eye after view of the I'M
cOmely Korean woman.
Until Korean boys are married and
acquire the pseudo dignity of the top
knot their hair is worn girl fashion in
twin plaits down their backs. So much
do they resemble girls that it is some
times difficult to determine the sex, and
one is oftentimes uncommonly surpris-
ed to observe what he is positive are
two girls sprawling and viciously fight
ing in a Korean street.-Outing.
