1t will be found to possess exceptional
merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish
ers considered an advertisement an
eVil but necessary evil, and that
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, so that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying TO
make little money by inserting pub
nc announcements. A paper run that
way to-day would fail.
The most successful opponents OF
the new plan Of doing business with
INK and paper are using every posi-
Die means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
IL Is safe to say that thousands Of
women read the newspaper-not the
teiegraphic page, but the pages con
tanning announcements OF bargains in
stockings, skirts, hats. gloves, pianos
furniture, food for the table, etc.
You have been invited to visit Bat
tie Creek for the purpose OF viewing
one OF the most unique advertising
buildings In the world. also to look

NEW USE FOR THE CAMERA.
Fitting u Clothes by Tailors Done
With Aid of Pictures,

A new method of measuring for tail
ors has been patented in Paris, &C
cording to the st. James Gazette. The
person TO be measured is placed be-
fore a camera, and between them is
introduced a network that is photo
sraphed at the same time and serves
as standard. Certain articles are
necessary to obtain complete result;
thus, the armpits. ETC., must be indi-
Gated by objects visible from without;
and, finally, several views must be
taken from various standpoints. The
subject is also fitted with sort of
harness which indicates points of
comparison. These points may, how
ever, be marked directly on the per-
son instead. The relative positions
OF the camera, the network and the
subject are carefully adjusted SO that
the subject appears always on the
same scale, and then the photograph
is taken from the various necessary
standpoints,

The wife of Camille Flammarion,
the astronomer, never allows anyone
to cut her husbands hair but herself.
and she uses the shorn locks for Dill
lows. Her home in Paris is full of
pillows stuffed with such clippings.
Telescopes, heliometers, sextants, as.
trolabes and other astronomical in
struments are scattered all about
among them. The Flammarions were
married thirty years ago, taking their
bridal tour in balloon. In all the
time since then the wife has been a
veritable helpmeet to her husband.
She not only makes observations and
calculations, but measures the dis.
tances of stars for him. At the OBJ
servatory of Juvisy, which she helped
him establish. she made studies of the
planet Mars.

WOMEN WHO WE'RE WARRIORS.
Records Of Amazons in the Annals OF
Most Countries.

Most Countries.
There Is scarcely a country with
out its women warriors, who for love
of man or love of country have dis
guised their sex and fought side by
side with men. England is proud Of
the name and record of Phoebe Hes

been erected at Brighton.
Christian Cavenagh was another
famous female warrior, whose hus-
band was kidnapped and carried
away to Holland, where he had to
enlist as a private soldier. The wife
followed him and, disguised as man.
fought and was wounded, and was
taken prisoner at the battle of Ian.

America has a long list of Amazons
beginning with Mrs. Seelye. who
served throughout the civil war as
a common soldier, field nurse and
Spy. fighting all day and nursing at
night, penetrating the enemy's lines
no less than eleven times, to Mrs.
Stotsenburg, who fought side by side
with her husband In the trenches OF

DEVICE NOT IN DEMAND.
Some Objections to Proposed Tele-
phone Attachment.


A man in Portland, Ore, has in.
vented a telephone attachment that
will enable the person at one end Of
the wire to see the face of the one
at the other. He calls this an improve
ment, and seems to think 1t fills a
long-felt want.
If this fiendish device should find
its way into general use the telephone
would become thing of terror. How
could you express your opinion of
Central with her scornful eyes star
ing into yours. How could you tell
dun that you had gone to Boston if he
could look at your face while you said
itf How could you escape bore in
the recesses of your club II he could
catch you face to face on wire?
The world owes something to mod.
ern science, but the inventors of wire.
less telegraphs and portrait telephones
are OVERRIDING things. In the interest
of the disappearing right of privacy
they ought to be kindly but thorough.

RussIans Drop Alexander.

1t has been tradition since the

Nicholas. But the murder of Alexan-

The names of those whom the In- diars claim were supplying the liquor were brought out by skillful questioning. In justice to these men and to the law-abiding citizens of Rampant, the matter cannot be allowed to end with the discharge of the coroner's jury. Investiga- ton Is demanded, and at once.
