or gloves were good enough lot Dau
weather has passed away. The new
order Of things demands a we'll cut,
we'll fitting street suit of waterproof
material, made especially for this pur-
pose, with hat, gloves and boots In har-
mony with II. The skirt Of such suit
is. Of course. much shorter than the
ordinary walking skirt, necessarily so,
because no matter how carefully one
walks there Is sure to be a slight dip
ping Of the skirt at each step, and II
the pavements are at all wet some
point is sure to touch and so the whole
skirt becomes damp. or course, the
hats worn with these suits are small
and close fitting to the head Anything
else would be inappropriate for such a
purpose, but fortunately for those to
whom a small hat Is not especially be-
coming, it is possible to find hats which
flare up on one side or the other that
are quite as pretty as the large ones.
and fully as suitable to their faces.
The boots worn with these storm suits
are cut very high, at least three inches
higher than the usual walking boot,
are laced with leather laces. and have
broad cork soles. so that It Is entirely
unnecessary to wear overshoes. Amy
stout walking boot will answer just as
well. perhaps, but the extra height OF
the boot expressly intended for stormy
weather wear is a protection to the
ankles. A smart touch to a storm suit
or coat is an umbrella that Is of the
same color, If the suit or coat is color
ed, and If not, of shade that repeats
some trimming, or even contrasting
stitching. One very pretty storm suit
is Of green blue and black plaid; the
hat is of black felt, trimmed with wings
that repeat the colors of the plaid, but
in very dark shades. With this Is car
ried an umbrella made Of silk that Is
an exact replica Of the cloth.

A Model Street Car Line.

Leeds, England, is proud of its street
car line, as well it may be. out of
about $1,400,000 gross receipts in 1908
100000 was clear profit after making
all allowance for depreciation. Nine
teen cents out of every dollar taken
went back to the city treasury to light
en- taxation.
The usual fare is cents. Out Of
GA, 223, ,666 fares taken over 50,000,000
We're cents each. There We're 100000
one cent fares and only 100000 six
cent fares, the highest paid. The aver
age fare last year was 2.29 cents.
The average Leeds passengey pays,
In other words, Is cents for the actual
cost of his ride and a trihe less than
half cent additional to the city treas
ury. This Is city smaller than Balti-
more and mainly containing people Of
very small income.

A recent bulletin of the Massachu-
setts labor bureau shows that in Har-
ward, often called "a rich mans col
lege," nearly 10 per cent of the young
men and nearly IL per cent of the
young women are the children of peo-
pie classed by statisticians as wage
earners.
In Boston university, the largest
Methodist institution of New England,
over 80 per cent of the students are
the sons and daughters of wage work
ers.
The record of Clark university is
even more remarkable. This is de-
voted entirely to postgraduate and re-
search work-that Is, to the kind of
study which must wait longest for
monetary returns, Yet nearly 81 per
cent of its students are from wage
working families. - Chicago Inter

The Four Canal Difficulties.

First.-+Climatic conditions. The So
luton for this lies in sanitation We
will have the greatest sanitary experts
in the world associated with us, and
am sure we will overcome the climate.
Second.-Labor. The solution for the
difficulties involved in securing enough
of the right kind of labor lies in fair
treatment, fair wages and enforced
sanitation.
Third.-The engineering problem is
not per Sc more difficult than others
that have been put through success
fully. Its immensity Is the only stag
gering thing about it. The same Or
ganization and the same forces applied
to this project that are used in less gi-
gantic enterprises of the same kind,
but on a similarly large scale, will, in
my opinion, make a successful job.
Fourth.-Distance from the base Of
supplies The solution of this lies en-
tirely in the perfection of an organiza-
tion in Panama and in this country.
What will be necessary will be the
maintenance of an absolute equilibri-
um between demand and supply rela-
tive to the class of labor and material

Hours of school study.

Investigations among 10000 school
children of Halle, in Germany, showed
that the number Of sick among the
children attending morning and after
noon sessions was one-half greater
than among children who attended ses
sions In the forenoon only. A German
scientist favors morning session Of
five hours, giving a resting pause Of
fifteen minutes at the end Of each hour.
He says that the afternoon sessions
exhaust the vitality Of the children,
disturb their digestive organs and tire
their brains. From medical stand
point afternoon sessions should be abol-
ished. The afternoon hours should be
given to play, outdoor exercise and
physical training.

LOVE OF NATURE.
The More Man Loses Out of Door
Life the More He Admires It,

The more man has become engaged
lectual disappointment, the more he
has felt the uselessness of knowledge
the more he has turned to certain ex-
pressions of art as an escape. He has
addressed poems to nature has paint
ed landscape more and more, has
shown in every way that such an es-
cape was a dream. Art has existed
from the very beginning even before
the first man suffered out his nam
ing of the animals and expressed their
character by the sound of their name
The dances of savages, as we call
them-that is to say, of people of earli
er forms of ivilization-invented be-
fore the arts of design, record in Il po
etc way what they do and the sea-
sons of such doing and even the ap-
pearance of nature-the Storm the
rain, the clouds blowing across the sky,
the lashing of the sea against the
shore. In Fiji they have a dance
arms like the wave lines of the surf,
and the children, springing up behind
them, represent the foam of the wave
crests. From these beginnings we
know that tragedy and comedy, as we
call them, have grown. Then, as all
these disappear in fact, they are re-
corded in the art of painting And as
man more and more leaves behind him
a life of out of doors in so much does
he desire to admire it.-McClure's Mag

Rubinstein's Charity,

Rubinstein probably Travelled more
than any other virtuoso. In his time
he made many fortunes and gave them
away to the poor in Russia. During
a famine which ragged among the Rus
sian peasants he journeyed' to Vienna,
Moscow and st. Petersburg to play for
charity. The price of seats rose to un-
heard of figures, but every penny Of
the money went to the starving farm
ers. 1t Is said that in the course Of
twenty eight years the sum which he
thus disposed of amounted to $3.50 900.

A Biographical Dictionary.

One of the most helpful books to keep
upon your table, ready to be consulted
as you read other books, Is a biograph-
ical dictionary. Then, when you come
to some historical character about
whom your knowledge is little faded,
1t will require but a moment to refresh
your memory and make your reading
more intelligent. You have right to
the acquaintance of these distinguished
men and women and should keep up t
least friendly relations with them, II
for no other reason than In gratitude
for what they have done to make your
life pleasant-St. Nicholas.

WOMEN WRITER'S.
None Among Them Has Ever Attain.

None Among Them Has Ever Attain
ed Real Greatness In Poetry.
Though the quality and range of her
genius were deep, generous and wide,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning cannot be
described, if language is to be used ac-
curately, as occupying place among
the poets justly designated great.
In no tongue hitherto has any female
writer attained to that supreme posi-
ton, and were this the appropriate mo-
ment, which 1t is not it would perhaps
be possible to explain why no woman
is likely ever to do 50. Not few fe-
male writer's are in effect in the front
rank of novelists. But prose-romance
is one thing and poetry quite another,
and there Is chasm between them
nor does the circumstance Of novels be-
ing in this age more popular than po-
etry affect in any degree the inherent
and immutable difference. Elizabeth
Barrett Browning was, aurora Leigh"
Notwithstanding, essentially and al
most exclusively a lyrical poet 1t
would be easy to add almost Indefinite
ly to Illustrations Of her being one Of
those who 'learn in suffering what
they teach in song" not one Of the
greater poets who pass through that
experience but end by getting beyond
it.-Alfred Austin at dwelling Of a
Bust of Mrs. Browning

Goodby to willing Collars.

Women who like to wear high col
lars of thin stuffs with their summer
frocks have been bothered heretofore
by the collars whiting or through the
pricking of the wearers' necks by bits
OF featherbone put in to stiffen the col
lars. For this summer an ingenious
person has designed little contriv-
ance to do away with these two an
noyances. The device takes the form
of set of little gold extender bars
that are fastened behind the collar and
are caught at the lower and upper ends
with little jeweled screw studs. These
things are made in imitation gold and
in the real thing
