This is SO big a country and every
thing is SO big in 1t that things which
our forefathers considered as trivial
readily swell into millions of dollars in
the aggregate. For example, the I'M
usually warm weather last month cost
the egg-dealers of Chicago alone
about 100000. They very shrewdly
and providently put immense quanti-
ties Of eggs into cold storage last Sum-
mer when the prices were down to II
cents and Whereabouts. The warm
weather encouraged the hens to keep
on laying, and In consequence fresh
eggs have been in abundant supply,
with the prices of the stored eggs be-
ing forced down to IL cents. The only
thing that will save many egg-dealers
from bankruptcy is an immediate and
continued spell of bitterly cold weather.

The Great Feat OF Capt. Anundsen, the
Norwegian Explorer,

Capt. Road Amundsen, the Nor
wegian sailor, has accomplished an
achievement which numberless other
enterprising and daring sailors have
been attempting, at various times, ever
since tho discovery Of America. The
whole European world has been eager
to secure shorter passage to the Indies
than those by the way Of the Cape of
Good Hope and Cape Horn and this has
stimulated, in every age, the most dar-

$4,000 to any man who should make

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF IRON AND
STEEL.

DR.. c. B. Dudley, the chemist Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, has concen-
trated and put in a presentable way
facts that have been more or less known
to a number of scientists. The first of
these is that steel is far from being
superior to iron for all purposes. 1t is
not so good for car axles, and a much
greater weight and size are required if
steel is used for the axle. Generally
where compression or tension is in
volved steel is the best, but for bending
strains iron is superior. The wire nail
will not last nearly SO long as the cut
nail. The steel fence wire is far from
being SO good as iron wire. as many
farmers have found to their loss

Woman in the Case.

London, Oct. 26.-Reynold's news
paper prints the following para
graphs:
London society is agog at a report
which is now public property, that
one OF the best known peers, who mar
ried an American millionairess, has
entered formally into a mutual agree
ment with his wife for separation.
ut has been common talk for the
last year or two that things have not
been going smoothly with the noble
lord. He succeeded to a great name
and one of the notable mansions of
England, but his mortgages left him
little pocket money His marriage
took place with great display in Amer
lea.
The cause of the disagreement ap-
pears to be as follows: The sympathy
OF his wife was evoked on behalf Of
q Charming young lady on the CONT
nent who was the victim of severe do
nestle trouble. After a few months
acquaintance the wife invited her to
England and she became on intimate
terms with the family.

the young peer was paying the visitor
more attention than was necessary

duchess of Marlborough was at Sun

The Significance Of q Kiss.

The dictionary informs the breath
less seeker after truth that kiss is
"a form of salutation expressed by the
contact, with pressure, of the lips''-
which definition, though clear and con-
else, seems to leave something to be
desired.
Jonathan Swift testify remarks:
Lord! l wonder what fool it was that
first invented kissing'-and many
more are the disgruntled speeches
which have been made by men and wo-
men ever since the art first became
known on earth.
1t is probable that every mothers
son of us-and daughter, TOBIAS
some sort of idea of what kiss is, in
spite Of the reticence of the language
solons, but 1t Is doubtful If anyone ever
clothed the idea more appropriately
than the lover who in 1879 wrote the
epistle from which the following ex.
tract is taken. It Is translated from
tho German.
What is a kiss? A kiss is, as it
were, seal expressing our sincere at
tachment; the pledge Of our future
union; dumb, but at the same time
audible, language of a living heart;
a present, which at the same time it
is given is taken from US: the impress
sion of an ardent attachment on an
ivory coral press; the striking of two
flints against one another; a crimson
balsam for love-wounded heart:
sweet bite of the lip; an affectionate
pinching of the mouth; a delicious
dish which is eaten with scarlet
spoons; sweetmeat which does not
satisfy hunger; fruit which is plant
ed and gathered at the same time; the
quickest exchange Of questions and
answers of two lovers; the fourth de-
gree of love-"
The monks of the middle ages d.
vided the kiss into Is distinct and sep
arate orders-the decorous. or modest

cal kiss-for the purpose of healing

New York, Oct. 26.-Striped mate
rails Of all kinds are much In evidence.
Sheer goods, chiffon, wolfe and gauzes
of all descriptions are to be worn right
through the winter, so that a hand
some afternoon gown purchased at
this time of year Is sure to prove a
good investment.
The handsomest, that is, the most
elaborate, dresses now made up are
of striped chiffon, black and white
being the most popular and the width
OF the stripe varying from an almost
indefinable line to a full inch band.
Naturally the width of the stripe must
depend to a great extent upon the size
of the wearer-to a woman of petite
build narrow line is generally becom-
ing, while stout figure can carry of
effectively more conspicuous design.
So far black and white, or gray and
white are more popular than the white
and colored stripes, but in pale blue
and In red and white some charmingly
pretty costumes have already been
made up.
The black and white striped mate
rial should be made up over white
silk or pale gray. Black would not be
at all attractive. In the colors, also,
white Is best, although a pale blue of
the shade of itself is often effective.
Silk, of course, can be made up over
any lining, although the gown can be
lightened or rendered darker in tone
according to the shade of the under
slip.
Even in the heavy street suits strip
ed flannels and cloths prevail to no
small extent, and in fact in all tex
lures that were of check or plaid de-
sign stripes have appeared. Naturally
only the rough suits for walking or
golf would be made up of striped
cloth, although many of the handsom-
est suits for the coming winter will be
striped velvet, velveteen and all vel
vet textures.
Any fancy texture needs clever han
ding in making up, and a striped ma
terial is no exception to the rule. With
chifons and wolfe great care must be
taken that they are not too many cross
straps of trimming to cut the figure.
The end of the skirt may always be
trimmed with ruchings and narrow
ruffles of the material, and these may

WOMEN IN INDUSTRIAL FIELD.
Fully Six Million Now Earning Their
Daily Bread

Inc total number OF women engaged
In gainful occupations in 1900 was
5.319,397. says the Technical World
Magazine, which goes into interesting
details as to the various callings by
which this large body Of women earned
their bread, some of which are unique.
At the rate Of increase between 1890
and 1900 there cannot be short of
100000 at work at present in various
trades and occupations in the United
States of America.
About 100000 of Americas five mil
lion odd gainful women in 1900 were
engaged in what the census calls agri-
cultural pursuits. There were also 100
women lumbermen and raftsmen and
lib women wood choppers. There
were S,405 women clergymen actively
engaged in the religious life of many
denominations.
Forty women were classed as civil
engineers. 30 as mechanical and cleo
trical engineers and three as mining
engineers. Incidentally there were IA
women veterinary surgeons. There
were also 3,125 women librarians, 2,OS6
women salcOnkepers and 440 women
bartenders.
In the building trades. which would
hardly be supposed to attract a woman,
there were 1877 masons, 545 carpenters,
IS plasterers, 1859 painters, glaciers
and varnishers, 126 plumbers, 241 pa.
perhangers and 2 skaters and roofers.
Plans were prepared by 100 architects
and $50 women entered into COMPETE
ton for the erection Of buildings. The
greatest widening Of business oppor-
tunity for the sex is found in the de-
partments OF stenography and type
writing.
"The only occupations in which wo-
men are going backward compared
with men," comments the Technical
World Magazine, ARE those in which
they might be expected to go forward,
namely, sewing, tailoring and dress
making. There were fewer seam
stresses. tailoress and dressmakers in
proportion to the number of men in
these occupations in 1900 than there
were in 1890. Work with the needle
seems to be becoming too feminine for
women"

be carried as far up on the skirt az
the figure will allow. The waist also
will be sufficiently trimmed with
yoke and vest Of handsome lace,
bordered with piping pale blue and
ma0ve silk-that is, with black and
white chiffon. Three-quarter or short
sleeves are alone fashionable for an

fon pun can be attractively finished
of at the elbow with soft ruching of
the material, combined with lace.
1t is a great temptation nowadays
with any light flimsy texture to at
tempt the empire. AS a rule, however.
a princess gown is infinitely more be-
coming, and the dress can be of quite
as new a design II the material is
fitted about the waist and hips. AS
the empire is supposedly so fashion
able at the moment vague sugges-
ton of this style can be given in al
most any sort of bodice without show
ing any of the loose, ungainly lines
that cause the empire to be avoided by
SO many women.
Striped tweeds bid fair to be very
popular for knockabout or school
wraps of the ulster variety for high
school girls and college students wear
These coats are especially useful at
this time of the year, when weather
conditions require thin frock in the
house, yet demand protection on the
street.
Exceedingly smart is an imported
coat designed for a girl of sixteen, in
stripes Of natural tones cut in plain
box lines and full length. The back
is perfectly plain, but in the front be-
gins stole effect at the neck, which
gradually widens, rounding off just
below the waist line until it reaches
the under arm seam, where the edges
are taken in with the back Tailor
stitching decorates the edges of this
stole, and at a convenient point pock-
cts are sewn in, though there is not
the slightest evidence Of these, the
hands just slipping through the Sits.
The sleeves are medium mandolin
shape, with bias strapping down the
upper part of the sleeve, or rather two
strappings arranged close together,
and in this way forming points with
the stripes. An up-to-date hood dis
plays itself over the shoulders and a
rolling collar of the goods completed
this stylish, practical coat, which, save
for tailor stitching is absolutely un-
trimmed.
If you are to be in the fashion this
winter YOU are to be trimmed, much
trimmed, as to gowns, hats and even
fur coats. No matter If your tastes are
Quakerish and your income on the
wrong side of nothing, trimmings you
must have. Moreover, when you see
these trimmings in all their beauty of
coloring, texture and design your quiet
proclivities will be no more.
