No WOMEN NEED APPLY. - 1t is
quite probable that the rule adopted
in Republican caucus OF Senators in
1902. at Tacoma, not to employ wo.
men clerks and stenOgraphers in the
legislative work, will be reaffirmed at
the coming session. It will be re-.
membered that the Senate's course
was made q precedent for the House
members, and not u fair one was en-
ployed during the whole session. It
is said that the suggestion originated
with the late Senator Hamilton, OF
Pierce, and that the proposition found
immediate force, probably from the
difficulty of deciding between the
relative qualifications Of the many
thoroughly competent beauties who
applied for positions. Be that as it
may, the Republican party is RESPONSE
BILE for thus narrowing the sphere OF
wOman's struggle in the battle OF life,
as we'll as for the unjust and arbitrary
ruling through which she was de.
prived of the ballot, by Judge Turner's
decision, while he was Republican
Supreme Judge.

Color Of Temperament.


A London doctor, after an infinite
number OF experimental tests on the
subject, has been enabled to make
quite a startling announcement in the
Lancet, to the effect that rays OF light
are emitted from the human body, in
visible to the naked eye, that differ in
color as the temperament of the per.
son varies in nervous and mental in
tensity. He says:
The rays emanating from very
passionate man have deep red hue !;
one whose keynote in life is to be good
and do good, throws off pink rays; the
ambitious man emits orange rays; the
deep thinker deep blue; the lover of art
and refined surroundings yellow; an
anxious, depressed person, gray. One
who leads low, debased life throws off
muddy brown rays; devotional, good
meaning person, light blue; a progress.
sive.minded one. light green, and ply
sically or mentally i'll one, dark green"
1t will be observed that it requires a
temperament somewhat like Roose.

ship, as a class, quite exclusive and
isolated, not to say q state of compar-
alive loneliness.
The value OF this discovery, it will
be readily seen, will be incalculable,
should some means be devised whereby
human eyes may be able to dstin-
guish the individual rays which con.
stitute such an unerring index, as it is
claimed, to human individuality. All
We would have to do for selection of
ideal companions would be to keep
the gentle shades in view and avoid all
opaque or solid colors.

THE London Tailor and Gutter says
that the perfect crease in trousers and
other parts OF fashionable apparel, is
the ambition of every well.dressed
man in that country, Even seamless
sackcoats have to show q crease down
either side, and one down the back. A
machine has been invented which does
the work "while you watt" for it is
applied while the garments are on the
body. 1t is said to resemble large
pair Of scissors, with two small rollers
OH the tips, heated by spirit lamp.
The center Of the trousers leg, where
the crease should be, is placed between
the rollers, and by delft motion, the
machine is run downwards towards
the foot, and a crease appears. more
sharply defined aud more mathemati-
caliy precise, than can be made by the
hand process Of ironing. The coat
can, of course, be conveniently taken
off, but, the machine very materially
minimizes the time as we'll as doing
better work.

Severe Weather on Atlantic Coast.

New York, last Sunday, was entirely
cut off from the South and West by
hurricane, accompanied by snow and
rain, Of unparalleled severity. The
wind came from the South, starting in
Florida, and traversing the long line
OF coast with cyclonic speed. Forty
eight miles were recorded, for several
hours consecutively, in the evening,
and at the apparent storm center, on
Block Island, where the barometer
showed a pressure OF 26.2S, ffty-six
miles per hour, and at Nantucket.
sixty miles wind velocity was attained.

infested district were all down and

ice that rapidly formed from the ex-
ceedingly low temperature.
The storm was predicted Saturday.
and sea captains were warned not to
pnt out on Sunday, still several wrecks
are noted, some vessels dragging their
anchors from the gale of,shore. Loose
signs in the city fell in showers, many
windows were broken, and several per-
sons were injured, by the wood, metal
and glass. The ferry boats were COM

Two battlcships in the roadstead of
Tompkinsville rode the swells quite

inches of rain had fallen. A ferry
boat was wrecked on Bowery Bay, but
the eleven passengers and crew were
taken off by a small steam launch.
Washington, d. c., was likewise cut
off from the remainder OF the world by
wire, from prostration of all telegraph
and telephone lines, by snow and ice.
The whole line Of the tempest was
marked by low temperature. The
first snow of the season fell in South
Carolina and Georgia.
