In 1880 the South had but 2O,500
miles of railway. In 1900 there were
over fifty-four thousand miles, repre-
senting new influx Of capital to the
amount of $1,50O,O0O,OOO.
They cut an old-time pine down in
Sangerville, Me-, recently. The tree

the base, and ran up sixty feet before
there was a limb. 1t will be used for

Although the sea covers three
fourths Of the earth's surface, it does
not provide in the same proportion for
mans wants. Only about three per
cent Of the people in the world gain
their living directly from the sea.
Icebergs in the Arctic regions are
neither so large nor SO numerous as
those seen in the Antarctic seas, but
they are usually loftier and more beau
tiful, with spires and domes. When
the sun shines on them they look like
a fairy city.
Large numbers of sea robins have
been taken in a Nantucket fish trap,
and until recently were thrown away,
as the fishermen were unaware of the
prices the homely creatures brought in
city markets. Eight dollars a barrel
is usual figure for them.
Probably the oldest musician in the
world Is Manuel Garcia, now aged 90
years. He has given up teaching and

His memory is still excellent, his wit

A grandfather's clock was brought
to watchmaker's shop in Peterstown,
N. Y, a few weeks ago for repairs, the
first that have been made upon it since
some trifing ones in 177S, which were
due to the raid of the Indians under
Brant and the tory Butler at Cherry,
Valley, in November of that year. The
clock was brought from England to
this country in 1740

Tulare lake, in California, once nav

dry. A man on foot can cross it safely
| at any point, and in some places the
ground is hard enough fora team to
drive over The cause of Thu condition
is the draining Of Kern and King riv-
ers Of their water by irrigation canals.
The farmers are using all the available
| supplies and keep the streams dry.

COLD AND INSECTS.

The Lowest of Low Temperatures
Does Not Kill Nor Injure Them.
The severest cold has no terrors
for insect life. 1t has been shown by ex-
periments that insects may be artificial
ly or naturally frozen, subjected, indeed,
to very low temperatures, without kill
ing or even injuring them. Eggs,
larvae, and pupae, the stages in which
most insects pass the winter, are per-
fectly immune to cold.
1t is a common idea that cocoOnS
of insects serve as protection against
They, like the summer webs of web
worms, are a protection against birds
and insect parasites, but not against
cold. The cocoons of summer broodS
are as stout and thick as those of the
generations that pass the winter.
Moths, butterflies, and other insects
build stouter and more compact cocoons
in tropical and torrid countries than
they do in those climates where they
are besieged by winter. There are
many insects, allied to the builders Of
cocoons, that make no such covering,
the pupa or the chrysalis being left en-
tirely exposed. And SO little heat is
maintained by the pupae Of insects
that no matter how thick the cocoons,
they are always too slight to repel
freezing cold.
Certain degrees of frigidity seem to
have vastly different effects on differ
ent species of insects. Gnats and
midges dance in the winter sunshine;
butterflies, Vanessa, Grapta, and some
times Colias, skim over the snow;
wasps and bees wind their way through
the leafless woods ground-beetles run
quickly over the cold earth; crickets
peep from beneath stones and rotting
logs; while other species, the vast ma
jority, in fact, are locked in the lethar
gy of Information. One Of the
commonest evidences Of this hiberna-
ton is to be seen when firewood Is
carried into the house and placed near
the warm stove. 1t takes only short
time to bring out swarm Of ants that
were sleeping in beetle-borings, their
common retreat.-St. Nicholas.

King Edward and his queen made
themselves very popular, when Prince
and Princess Of Wales, by the genial
willingness with which they "opened"
bazaars and took the lead in all man
ner Of public functions. The present
Princess Of Wales is said to be averse
to that sort of thing, and, even sur
veying the shining presidents before
her, seldom manages to do it as if she
liked It. Yet to smile and spend
money gracefully is one of the chief
duties Of modern royalty, and one sus-
poets that her royal highness has an
easier time, after all, than the women
who organize and conduct the festi-
vals.

lady again examined it and now found
it too hard. She was sorry, but when
she paid so much to get an article for
her own comfort she wanted it just
right, so she sent it back to the shop
for another change. The chair was
again put aside for a week or ten days
and sent out for the third time without
the least alteration. This time it was
just right. She took the chair, paid
for it and was sorry it had not suited
her at first. The poor woman never
knew that the chair had not been
changed q particle.

womeu's Whiu,s

A furniture dealer tells little story
that shows how some people are con-
stituted. A lady ordered an elegant
easy chair Of a peculiar kind. 1t was
made and sent to her house. She eX-
amined it carefully and critically, final
ly remarking that it suited her exactly,
with one exception-it was too soft.
She sent the chair back to be made a
trifle harder. 1t was returned to the
shop and put aside. Nothing was done
to it. After a lapse Of about week
the chair was sent out again. The

What Women Are Doing.

Woman pays dearly for her modern
independence. Census reports show
that since she took the burden Of ac-
tive life with man she has been COM
PEELED to enter many occupations which
heretofore have been filed exclusively
by men. She has done her work well.
Many home has been kept together
and made happier through the indie
pendence and pluck of some little wOm-
an. The census reports show that
there are IS female bootblacks in the
United States and five pilots; 946 wom-
en- make a living as commercial tray
elers, and 70 work as hostlers, while
| 100 keep livery stables; 6,663 girls and
women are employed as errand and
Office ''boys," while 1921 are officials
of banks and companies; 1876 are black
smiths, and eight women make steel
boilers.
One thousand eight hundred and five
women earn livelihood as fishermen
and oystermen; 624 women are coal
miners; SO mine for gold and silver,
and 63 are quarrymen. There are ac-
tually two women motormen employed
on the street railroads.
! There are three women auctioneers
in the United States, according to the
new census; PSI women work at gath
ering turpentine and 81 make living
by keeping bees. There are 81 female
| sections, and no fewer than 1882 wom-
en- BARRIERS and hair dressers.
| Four hundred and forty women are
bartenders, 81 are stevedores and 81
run elevators; 1912 are architects and
dI0ughtsmen and 545 are carpenters,
while 1871 work as masons in brick and
| stone. Within recent years newspaper
work has attracted many women, and
| it is not surprising to find that there
are 2,193 Of them in that profession.
On the other hand, it is little short Of
astonishing to learn that 1920 profess
sional hunters and trappers wear petit
i coats.
There is scarcely a trade, a profess
sion or business enterprise that does
j not include some dauntless woman.
In the United States there are 1899
women physicians and surgeons, and
II more veterinarians. There are 1000
/ lawyers among the women, and no
fewer than 3,4O5 women clergymen.
! There are 400 women who are profess
sional electricians and 81 are civil en-
gineers and surveyors. There are lib
women who make living at wood
| chopping. There are 1877 women den
lists and 324 women undertakers. 1t
j is surprising to learn that there are
/ now in the United States As female
| locomotive engineers and firemen and
seven female conductors on steam rail
roads. There are also 81 brakemen
and 10 baggage wOmen New York

The record Of the Penobscot tribe of
Indians for the year has contribution
to the general discussion concerning

the new relation to life and industry
which the Indian Of to-day sustains.
