James Francis Burke, now Congress-

Of Pennsylvania, in an address to the

Gowns and Uniforms,

The practice Of uniforming our ser
wants and officials proceeds aDace.
,Middle-aged people can recall the Oh
jections that were made to the practice
until well after the war. Possibly it
was the multitude Of uniforms put into
circulation by that momcntous incl
dent, and the honor which attached to
them, that reconciled the public to the
extension Of the habit OF distinctive
dress. AS til" town drunkaril had no
characteristic apparel except his rags,
so tho town constable considered that
his tin star was authority enough when
he arrested the aforesaid, and as SER
wants in provincial towns ate with the
family the idea Of putting them into
livery was undrcamcd Of.
But while We talked largely of the
equality of men in democracy and
the disgrace Of wearing dress which
denoted service that none thought
disgra ccful--or they would not have ac-
ceptcd 1.-THE European fashion of cos
tuning people according to their en-
ployments has obtained such hold on
us that we should object loudly if it
were discontinued. AS tho butler is
commonly more distinguished look
ing person than most Of the guests he
has to wear buttons to prevent him.
self from becoming Il subject Of morti-
flying condolences, and as the district
messenger is youth of headlonG:
habits, he is compelled to put himself
in blue, SO that lie shall have right Of
way when he Surges through our
streets eager to break records in speed
of delivery. We have extended this
habit Of uniforming till now we recog-
niZe not only our soldiers, sailors, ma
rines and policemen, as such, but our
letter carriers, customs officers, build
ing inspectors, conductors, train hands,
ferrymen, janitors, gatekeepers, guides,
nurses, wardcns, street cleaners and
not only do clubs and families uniform
their servants, but many shopkeepers
md corporations require their employees
to wear striking dress.-Brooklyn

The Republic Of tho Past,

There are many other obvious reas-
ons why the greatest republic OF the
twentieth century should not follow
the course Of the greatest republic of
the past. Nevertheless, it is well to
remember that the same course has
been followed by very many republics
Of the past. great and little alike. Lib.
erty is rare and beautiful blessing;
but, like many other blessings, 1t be-
comes Indifferent from too great famil-
farity. AS has been well said OF it, it
Ia won with long struggle, suffering
and sacrifice; 1t is lost with such
apathy and Indifference that the trans
formation has taken place even before
it is perceived. At any rate. the stanch-
est believer in manifest destiny" can
not but admit that the study of old
time mistakes is Of the greatest value
and interest for modern achievement
And, assurcdly, any such study of an
cient Rome cannot be made with n
more suggestive and more thoroughly
human guide than NJ. Boissier.-- Cana.

SunliQht Kills Blond Races,

The book we spoke of some time
ago on THE Effects of Tropical Light
on White Men," by DR.. G. r. Woodruff
Of the u. S. Army, has attractet uni
versal attention. DR.. Woodruff takes
the nositiOn that tho action of tic

try such as our own is bound to be
harmful to the Lion races and tlilt
in the long run these blend races VIII

erSkinned races on this account.
Light affects the nervous system,
producing nervous instability and ir-
ritability," he says. This is now
well known fact, and it is accepted
that the purpose of the pigment in the
skin Of the natural inhabitants Of
sunny countries IS to act rs screen
to keep the a;tinic rays Of light cs-
pecially from penetrating the body and
Irritating the nerves.
1t took the climate Of Greeon only
7 centuries to destroy the blond popu-
Iation. according to DR.. Woodruff It
is fact that all the surviving peo-
pies round the Mediterranean arc
dark skinned, in spite Of large infiuxes
OF people from more northern lati-
tudes, with their fair compilations.
In the great struggle for existence, DR..
Woodruff intimates, the races in this
country which have como from the
cool and shady climates Of northern
Europe are destined to burn out and
degentrate while the better protected
dark-skinned inhabitants will thrive.

"a thoroughly interesting experiment
III lace making has been carried out
this summer at Greenwich house, on
New York's lower West Side, under
the direction Of Miss Katharine Lord"
says the current number Of Charities.
"Ihose who know the picturesque
stories which are woven into exquisite
laces which have come down to lis
KNOW that in several instances the
art or their faShioning has been almost,
If not quite, lost. Many of the Italian
women in the tenement districts arc
SkiliIul lace makers, but their materials
are more often than not OF the rough
est sort and of colors abominablc.
Lace making has been carried on in
connection with the work at South End
house, Boston, until it is quite past the
experimental stage, and the success of
this summers venture leads those who
have been watching it to believe that
such is the case also in New York.
Over thirty girls and women have been
instructed i'll one OF more kinds OF
lace making; further, seven or eight
expert lace makers have been given
employment.
"rhc plan Miss Lord has followed
has been to purchase the thread and
give it out, and then buy the lace from
the workers-much after the fashion in
which all industry was carried OH in
the domestic stage. With the younger
girls the instruction has, Of course,
peen very elementary; but with a
Skilled French embroiderer, with the
Italian women who had spent their
time on crude braid laccs and the like,
ana With some Scotch women not un-
FAMILIAR with the craft, very little in
struction has been needed to teach
the finer patterns. 1t is believed that
when sufficient number Of workers
are employed, so that contracts with
merchants can be filled reliably, steady
work can be assured women and girls
to take up lace making in their homes
and to mend old lace. For cripples and
for women with children, who cannot
go out to factories readily, lace making
offers an opportunity for work. 1t is
not to be compared with the ordinary
sweating industries that carry house
hold manufa cture to such dire lengths.
This summers experiment was car
ricd Oh through the contributions of
group Of young New York women.
In developing the permanent work this
winter, with headquarters at Green

work with groups Of women in con-
ncction with several OF the ether neigh

An Interesting Iron Tree.

At meeting Of the Academy of Nat
ural Sciences, Professor Oscar G.. S.
Carter, of the Boys Central High
School, WAS the principal speaker.
In his address lie referred to a So
called iron tree, which was discovered
about one mile from Three Ton, Mont
gomery County, embedded in Il sand
Stone quarry about ten feet Eelow the
surface.
The tree was about eighteen feet
long. and the trunk was about eight
inches i'll diameter. 1t had completely
turned to iron, and was composed
mostly Of brown hcmatite, an iron ore
a. portion OF the tree was Of imperfect
Ignite, which the professor explained
greatly resembled charcoal No doubt
exists among scientists that the arti-
Gle referred to was Il real tree, because
knots were found, many of which had
also turned to iron.
THE phenomenon is accounted for"
said Professor Carter, "by the fact that
the shales and sandstone In that neigh
borhood are covered with red oxide of
iron, and sometimes With brown hema-

duced by organized matter, and that
it was made soluble in water contain
ing the carbonic-acid gas. AS the
water holding the iron in solution
came i'll contact with the tree, the iron
was precipitated on the tree, and there
was an ninterchanging OF vegetable and
mineral matter so thatl thn rocks wora
relieved Of their coloring matter and
the tree took it up" - Philadelphia

AUTOMATIC SERVICE
VIII Relieve the Hostess of Terror of
Striking Servants.


Striking Servants.
a clever young inventor, living in
Germantown, who has often been the
victim Of the incompetency and incon-
stancy of his Wife's servants, has been
contemplating device which he says
will enable his wife to serve a course
dinner without going into the kitchen,
even If the scrvarl has quit at the
crucial moment.
His scheme is to havean underground
trolley from the kitchen, with an at
tachment to wide wooden gutter large
enough to hold every size of serving
dish, and presumably steam-heated, so
that soups, vegetables and entrees will
not grow cold III the process. When
the hostess and her guests are seated
she needs only to touch an invisible
button and the soup tureen will soon
prccipitatc itself on the table; another
manipulation, and the soup will dis
appear; still another, and the roastS
and vegetables will come steaming to
their place at the tables and so on
until the complete dinner has been
served, up to the very last dish of salt
ed almonds and mi-tasse.-Philadel.

When you buy potted plant from a
liashlonaDlc florist nowadays he does
not send 1T home in the ordinary red
clay pot such as has been in use from
time out Of mind, says tho Philadelphia
inquirer. The plant is delivered in Il
receptacle Of the conventional shape,
but 1T is covered with fine straw bound
around with ratfia that is either painted
soft green or a dull shade Of red.
These bindings are fashioned in some
pleasing designs and are vanished,
so that the whole thing is ready to
stand rs an ornament just as it is.
These plants may come high, but there
is one economy in buying them. You
do not have to purchase jardinicre
to put them in.

How u Porcupine Fights.

a dog never attacks porcupinc but
once. If he survives, the lesson is
enough to make him wise in the way
Of porcupines ever after.
Ordinarily, and when at ease, the
quills and hoary hair Of the porcupinc
lie fiat upon his back. but when an
gercd he bristles up, and every part
OF him, even TO his toes and the tip of
his nose, is protected by the armament
Of sharp quilts. His plan Of fighting is
wholly OH the defensive, and so de-
structivc IS his vcritablc bayOnet line
to che attacking one that even the
bear, the panther and the lynx will
not molcst him.
That is why the porcupinc knows nc
fear, and why he comes abruptly into
camp and calmly Investigates things
He has yet to learn that man and his
unerring rifle are far more deadly than
even barbed and poisonous quills.--
