RnlI LIN journalism.

OF a well-known reporter of past
generation many curiosities of style
are still repeated with zest by Dub
lin journalists. 1t was this man who
explained, describing a case OF
drowning off Oakley: ''The body
was washed ashore by a receding
wave" OF a fugitive from justice
he wrote: 1.-The burglar was sur
rounded on all sides by the police.
Escape was impossible. Suddenly
10 made his way down a cul-de-sac
and disappeared through a side
street" The most popular story OF
this impressionist writer, however,
relates to Mr.. Gladstone. On the
Grand Old Mans one and only visit
to Dublin he was interviewed Ey
the eccentric press man. Mr.. Glad
stone, at the conclusion of a some
what amusing array Of questions
very courteously expressed his pleas
ure at meeting the interviewer. The
latter, in a high state of delight, SAID
with enthusiasm: 1.-THE pleasure IS
mutual, Mr. Gladstone. But 1t Is
all on my side" London Tribune.

Errors About the White House.

To the Editor:
] noticed somewhere recently-I
would not say positively that it was
in your columns-an article on the
White House which contained several
mis-statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909, and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun
in 1872. In 1914 il was burned by
the British and rebuilt in 1878.
Another of the errors in the arti-
Gle referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
Write House to make it beautifully
white.
] noticed this especially because
have used considerable paint myself,
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building, when allpainters know that
pure WAAtO ASdU Civ AiASCS0 VA AAesAS
the best paint.
1t so happened also that l knew
white lead and linseed oil not
;ready-mixed paint-were used on the
White House, because had just read
a booklet published by firm of
ready-mixed paint manufacturers.
who also manufacture pure white
lead. In that book the manufacture
'ers admitted that for the White,
House nothing but t'the best and
purest of paint could be used" and
said that their pure white lead had
been selected.
Above all people those who at
tempt to write on historical subjects
should give us facts, even if 1t is
only a date or statement about
wood, or brick, or paint, or other
building material. Yours for truth,
L..

The HIGHEST Clouds.

During the past year committee
appointed by the Carnegie Institu-
ton at Washington has been engaged
in measuring the height of clouds
with the aid of photography. ST.
multaneous pictures of a cloud are
made by two cameras placed 500
feet apart and connected by tele-
graph wries. From the amount OF
displacement of the cloud, caused by
viewing it alternately from each end
of the 6eO-feet base line, its height
can be calculated. Some of the
"mackeral-sky' clouds photographed
were seven and a quarter miles high.
The Hottest clouds whose elevation
was thus measured belonged to the
type known as cirrus, or "curl cloud.
the height being little more than
II miles.

Origin OF Poodle.

Why is a poodle so called? Some
one says: Probably the natural
answer would recall the old lady
who said that no credit could be
given to Adam for naming the pig,
since anybody would have known
what to call it. Poodle seems so
obvious a name for this dog. And
in fact, this is not far from the
truth about the origin of the word.
1t is quite recent in English, not be-
ing found before 1864, apparently.
1t is the German fpudel,' which comes
from the low German, 'pudelin.' to
waddle, and the dog must have been
so called, as Skeat says, either be-
cause he waddles after his master
or because he looks fat and clumsy
on account Of his thick hair. Chi

WOMAN DENoUNCEs THE PETIT.
COAT

I'VE are never going to be free SO
long as we wear petticoats. Woman
will never have perfect freedom In
dress until she wears something like
the gymnasium costume. am not
advocating that for the present day,
but perhaps in century we will
grow up to it,
These and similar sentiments were
expressed by Miss Abby Shaw May
hew, assistant professor of physical
training at the University of Wis
consin, in lecture TO the women
students.
Dress all goes by fad" said Miss
Mayhem. Some of the fads are cor
rect hygienically, others are positive
ly suicidal. There are four places
where we are apt to bind ourselves
at the neck, the waist, the knee
and the foot.
''The fad for, wearing open necks
in our dresses is sensible one. We
never can be well or normal or have
clear brain if we impede the cir
culation and impair the nervous sys-
tenn by pressure on the neck from
tight collars A great deal of the
head, throat and eye trouble now
prevalent can be traced directly to
bad dressing of the neck. There is
much goiter development consequent.
Furs should never be worn ON the
neck if they are warm enough to
make the neck perspire.
1T is suicidal for women to wear
half sleeves and 'Peek-a-boo' waists
so early in the season, as they did
here at the university this spring,
because of the inequality of tempera-
tuFe of the different parts of the
body, and the consequent difficulty in
maintaining proper circulation. Still,
We are growing mere sensible there;
we do not, wear slch stiff corsets as
we did. Waist and skirt should be
hooked or buttoned together, not
pinned. | never use pins.
Ill-adjusted stockings, | believe,
cause more suffering than tight shoes.
In hot weather, never cover the knee,
and do not wear long supporters;
they drag on the abdomen. Wear
round garters just below the knee,
not tight enough to leave a mark, and
roll the stocking top over it."

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine So Beneficial TO Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take ''tonics and stimu-
lants" under such circumstances is
like setting the house on fire to see
if yoa can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes
refreshing sleep at night and wide
awake individual during the day
A lady changed from her old way
of eating to Grape-Nuts and says:
For about three years had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi-
cine the doctor would ask me 10 drop
OFF potatoes. then meat. and so on,
but in few days that craving, gnaw-
ing feeling would start up and
would vomit everything l ate and
drank.
When l started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
My mother was very much both
cred with diarrhea before commence
ing the Grape-Nuts, because her
stomach was SO weak she could not
digest her food. Since using Grape
Nuts she is we'll. end says she don't
think she could live without it.
1t is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder. for / can sleep as
sound and undisturbed after sup
per of Grape-Nuts as in the old days
when I could not realize what they
meant by bad stomach" There
is no medicine so beneficial to nerves
and brain as good nights sleep,
such as you can enjoy after eating
Grape-Nuts.

Fashion NOTES.

Shoes and stockings to match each
other and match also the dress are a
pretty fashion for the house.
All through the fall coat sleeves
will be short, but those that are to
be worn later will be long. Generally
speaking the new sleeves are long.
There has not yet been devised for
the little man style of suit quite
so becoming as the jaunty little Rus
sian, whether of white linen or dark
wool.
The undressed kid shoes are ex'
ceedingly comfortable and very sat
isfactory except in black.
The fashionable flare accomplished
by the circular cut of most of the
coats for children gives pert air OF
style that is very bewitching.
A girl who is half apt with her
needle can embroider her own white
shoes and give them Individuality.
Some girls are using their monogram
for design. AS fad monograms on
ones waist and shoes are not bad at
ALL
Empire styles will be conspicuous
this fall, and some young ladies are
already planning how they can trans
form their present princess fnocks OF
sheer materials with ease into real
Empire frocks.
The latest belt idea for linen gowns
is one made of Scotch plaid, the
colors so skilfully crossed and COM
bined that there is no tendency to
make the waist look large.
SOFT wide silk is used to make them
of, although a few are of patent
leather. Blue and green effects are
best liked.
An occasional woman wears plaid
stockings to match, with patent leath-
er pumps.
The slender girl looks very well
in the gown whose skirt is gathered
at the belt and finished at the bot
tom with a wide full fiounce.
Attractive are the berthas, collar
cites, Gifts, and sleeveless coates of
Madeira hand embroidery. The de-
signs are mainly on the eyelet or
der, perfectly executed, and the ma
terial is exceedingly fine.
