cussed by such men as Highland

Accidents to Employees.

Nine States now require factory op-
orators to report accidents suffered by
their employees. An incomplete record
made by the New York Bureau of La
Dor in 1899, covering about one-half of
the factory workers in the State for
three months, showed 1922 accidents.
According to DR.. Josiah Strong, on
this basis the annual number Of acci-
dents in the States factories would be
14.576.
In a recent year. of 142.420 employees
in the anthracite mines of Pennsyiva-
mia, All were killed. Of ST.S02 en-
ployes in the bituminous mines 1913
were killed.
During the year ended June 80, 1903,
there were 1888 killed and 64,662 in
jured on the railways of the United
States. The average for the year was
twenty-five killed and 1T injured
every day.
In 1890 American railways killed one
person for every BOG employees, while
the roads of Germany killed only one
for every 75O, and those of Austria
Hungary only one for every 1OGI. The
same year American roads injured one
person for every thirty-three employees
German roads one for every 1G0 and
Austrian one for every 292.

The First Coal in England,

1t was to supply the wants Of smiths
and lime burners that English ccal
began to be Systematically dug about
A. D. 1900. This mineral fuel suited
the requirements Of their crafts ever
better than wood. An unwonted ana
widespread demand for fuel for these
purposes doubtless sprang up at this
period in connection with the numer-
Gus feudal castles and ecclesiastical
buildings which were being erected
throughout the kingdom. Not only
were smiths and lime burners the sole
patrons of coal at this early stage,
but for long time subsequently they
continued to be its principal coEsum;

An Awful Japanese Custom.

It was The custom in old Japan to
bury living retainers, servants, ana
even horses, upright in circle around
the grave of a member of any imperial
or noble family. The heads of these
poor wretches were left exposed, and
their cries of agony during their lin
serins death could be heard night and
day. This awful custom was changed
by a tender hearted ruler in the second
year of our Christian era, rough clay
images being substituted for the liv-
ing beings; but so late as A. D. 646'
another Emperor had to legislate
against the recurrence Of such living
burials.-St. James Gazette.

Shirt Waist.

Shirt waists long ago came to be
numbered among the must-haves.
Whatever else the wardrobe may lack
they are certain to be found. This sea-
son they are, if possible, more tempt
ing than ever before and are shown
in most aluring variety. The model
shown is new and smart and is suited
alike to washable and TO silk and wool
waistings, but In the case of the orig
inal is made of ecru batiste piped with
brown and trimmed with little pearl
buttons.
The waist is made with fronts and
back that are fitted by means of shoul-
der and under arm seams and over
which the yoke is applied, the extern
sions over the shoulder giving the long
and dropping line that is so greatly
in vogue. The tucks at the back are
arranged to give the becoming taper
ing lines to the figure, while those OF
the front and sleeves extend for a part
Of their length only and provide full
ness below. The cuffs make a novel
feature and are shaped to match the
yoke.

the medium size is five and one-feurh

threaded with the new Vienna scarf,

favorite colors for these scarfs. They

Smart Walking Suit.

With the walking suit in the
height of favor this fetching model
comes as q particularly pleasing addi-
ton to our wardrobes. The Elton is
jauntiness personified with its silken
frogs and olives. and the cleverly
gored skirt shows the necessary full
ness about the feet. Here we see the
one-color costume, the entire arrange
ment being carried out in a soft tal
shade. Colors may come, by the way,
and colors may go, but tan j" one of the
lasting favorites. The blouse worn
with this suit is Of creamy batiste. in
set with lace. Lace in the same shade
serves as an effective applique along
the edge of the modish tan sunshade.
Most richly does the natural shade OF
the modish straw hat blend in with the
tone of the cloth. 1t is trimmed with
velvet ribbon (emerald. brown. black,

such.
The waist consists Of the fitted lin
Ing, which is optional, front, backs and
yoke and is closed invisibly at the
back. When the lining is used, yet a
transparent effect desired, it and the
material can be cut away beneath the
yoke. The sleeves are simply full,
finished with bands and frills Of lace.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is six yards eighteen
inches wide, five yards twenty-one
inches wide, or two and fve-eighth
yards forty-four inches wide, with four
and one-fourth yards of insertion for
yoke, two yards of lace for sleeves and
three-eighth yards of silk for belt.

yoke being composed of strips of in
sertion and bands Of silk embroidered
with French knots, and is lined with
chiffon only, cut exactly like the lace,
but the fitted foundation can be used
when liked. The cream lace over the
white makes a most attractive effect
and the deep belt of cream messaline
satin is both correct and in harmony
with the waist. When lace is not de-

Pe.ru.na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our change
able climate. TO protect the family from
colds and coughs is always serious prob
lem, and often impossible. ,,
Sooner or later il is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in avoid
ing exposure and the use of proper cloth,
ing will protect from the frequency. and
perhaps the severity Of colds. but with the
greatest of precautions they will come.
This is a settled fact Of human experience.
Everybody must expect to be caught some
where or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or draught,
or damp Clothes, or it may be one OF a
thousand other little mishaps, but no one
is shrewd enough to always avoid the inev-
liable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science better
known than that Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Thousands of families
in all parts of the United States are pro-
tected from colds and catarrh by Peruna.
Once in the family Peruna always stays.
No home can spare Peruna after the first
trial of it. =.

Uses For Old Parrhments.

Quite a good price is paid by a
French firm for old parchments of all
descriptions. They have q process for
removing the ink, and eventually the
cleaned stuff comes back to us as the
finest French kid gloves. The clip
pings left when the gloves are made
are not wasted, either. Mixed with
pieces of vellum and leather, they are
boiled down for size. And the coarse
shavings. with odds and ends of seal

Treacle For Horses.

Scientific tests in substituting trea-
Gle for oats and other cereals in feed
ing horses have yielded surprising re-
suits. 1t is now definitely established
that as a horse diet there is magic in
treacle. With this syrup on his bill of
fare the horse rapidly takes on solid
weight, develops prodigiously in mus
cular energy, grows glossy coat, and
enjoys uninterrupted Aealth. For
these animals. therefore, treacle is de-
clared to be both a tonic and health
food. In addition to the many desir-
able results a treacle diet reduces the
cost of horse maintenance over twenty
five Der cent.-LOndon Tit-Bits.

Pretty Neckwear.

Any wooden waist, and especially
colored ones, are made twice as at
tractive If, instead of tight linen col
lars, airy lace or embroidered linen or
lawn ties are worn with them. This is
a little feminine touch never omitted
by a French woman. The fine hand
kerchief cravat, easily made at home,
is pretty, and the innumerable dainty
and fragile neck pieces for sale in the
shops are also wound twice around the
neck and fastened with gold pin at
the throat. ANY cf these tighten cloth
or flannel waists wonderfully.
