SUCCESSOR TO EVANS
MATTER OF INTEREST
He Will Go on the Retired List
In 1908.
is SPERRY OR HEMPHILL.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 26.-As u
who will succeed Rear Admiral Evans
in command of the battleship fleet
when that officer leaves ective service
next August. there is a difference OF
opinion. The three officers upon
whom the command might be expected
to fall under ordinary circumstance
Rear Admirals James H. Dayton, Chas.
NJ. Thomas, and William II. Emory
will follow Rear Admiral Evans into
retirement very soon. The two FORM
er go upon the retired list on October
list and 25th. 1908, respectively AMI
the latter on December 18th, 1903. For
this reason neither may be chosen.
The choice of Rear Admiral Evanss
successor for the command seems to
lie between Rear Admiral Charles s.
Sperry now at The Hague, and who.
it is understood will command one d.
vision of the Atlantic fleet in all prob
ability. and Rear Admiral Joseph n.
Hemphill. Rear Admiral Sperry re-
tires in September, 1909, and Rear Ad
miral Hemphill in June, 1909.

A Quaint Scotch Weddino Custom.

A quaint wedding custom still pre-
walls in many of the little country
towns and mining villages in Scotland.
When a wedding is held the contract

full for the eating, drinking and dane
ing facilities which are usually pro-
vided on such occasions. The practice
still seems to survive even in Glasgow
A correspondent observed notice
posted up in the Cowcaddens, a low
class Glasgow thoroughfare, informing
the public that a soldier would shortly
enter into the bonds of wedlock and
that twopence would be charged for
admission to the ceremony and an ad'
ditional sixpence imposed for attend.

tice seems to be peculiarly Scotch. but

The Reader Who Skins,

A good work Of fiction, whether in
prose or in verse-we are here speak

art and can be rightly enjoyed only by
entering into sympathy with the art

cording to his intention. In a perfect
poem the place Of every word, in per
feet novel the place. If not of every
word. of every episode and of every
paragraph. Is important. and the reader
who skips throws away the pleasure
he has meant to derive from the har-
mony Of composition. in which very
possibly the beauty of the whole may
chiefly consist, and despises the best
part of the artists labor. He might as

According to the authors OF Queer
Things About Persia cruelty is COM
mon there. The executioner cuts
threats in public square, and the spec
tacle excites little interest. Criminals
are sometimes crucified and sometimes
walled up alive Women. for certain Of
lenses, are cast headlong from tower.
Ihe Persian is a gentleman of surpass-
ing courtesy and politeness, but, say
these writer's: The same man who
drops rose petals under your feet In
order to make them avoid the hard
ness of the road will not hesitate to
make you suffer the most cruel tor
lures. He delights in the murmur OF
the rivulet in the moonshine, but the
sound of blood flowing from an open
wound has also for him its fascina-
ton. The singing of the nightingale
filis him with rapture in the night,
but he quivers with pleasure at the
cry of pain from victim"

COURSES FOR THE WOMEN
School of Mines at Columbia
Has Opened Them.

New York, Oct. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
have just been made by the School of
Mines at Columbia that courses in ar
chitecture are open to women, espec-
tally to the graduate students. So
,-een has been the interest on the
change, that the department finds it
self hampered for room to accommo-
date those women who are anxious to
share the instruction Courses in ar
chitecture have long been open to
women at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, but this is fairly rad
ical departure at the university on the
Heights.

Trunk en- Sn.okinc,

Moalems are forbidden to drink
wines or spirits. but IN Tunis they
cortrive to reach the same ends by
smoking preparations of hemp flow
ers. The milder kind IS called kit,
and If it is used in moderation it has
no more effect than wine, but the con-
centrated essence, known as chira,
produces intoxicat-on as quickly as
raw spirits and leads to dellrium

veteran, and was ninety-eight years of
age.

Why a SWELLING Follows a Blow,

The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep II
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of in
jury is not even now quite understood
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
interferes with the flow of blood
through them, and the white corpus
Giles, with part of the serum. the wa
tering part of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues. At the same
time the blood vessels in the nelghbor-
hood dilate, and the increased flow Of
blood with the thoroughfare INSTRUCTED
increases the swelling. 1t is probable
that the white corpuscles of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist in the re-
pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in
jury to their storehouse. but with this
difference-that the substance of the
corpuscles is probably converted into
the tissue of repair. From one point of
view the human body is only one gi-
gantic colony of individuals and the
swelling that follows injury but the
rush Of these to repair the breach.

Atmospheric Temperature.

The temperature of the atmosphere
cools on an average about 1 degree for
every 800 feet that we ascend or warns
at the same rate as we descend. The
mean temperature at the north pole is
o and at the equator between 50 and
90 degrees. We can, therefore. get into
a temperature degree colder for every
seventy or eighty miles that we travel
north and in a temperature 1 degree
warmer for every seventy or eighty
miles that we travel south.

...FaShiOr7 Notes..

Grace Margaret Gould the fashion
editor of the Woman's Home Com
panion, cables the following fashion
note to the readers of the November
issue:
"Paquin's newest skirt is the great
est novelty | have seen in Paris. 1t
is tight fitting and very narrow, show
ing the outline of the form below the
hips. This is in direct contrast to the
plated and gathered skirts which
have been worn for several seasons
In effect the new Paquin model sug-
gests the oid-time serpentine skirt.
Il find that quite the latest idea in
street costumes is to have the skirt
and coat of different materials. Some
times one garment is OF plain fabric
and the other a self-tone stripe. In
some of the most beautiful costumes
which | have seen, the coats have
been of luster cloth and the long trail
ing skirts of chiffon velvet.
The full-length sleeves in severe
styles prevail in the tailored coats.
The three-quarter sleeve is by far the
most popular length at present for
general wear. There are, however,
some odd-looking, very long, mousque-
taire sleeves which reach well over
the hand Indeed, some extend as far
as the knuckles. They have only
slight fulness on the shoulder and fit
the arm closely.
"At Cabot Soeurs I saw some beau
tiful three-quarter sleeves of velvet
and silk heightened to seven-eiShts

Dress to Suit Your Position.

Dress to suit your position, is
word of atvr- given by Mrs. Anna
Steese Richardson. If you work in
dirty office, such as a printing con-
Germ, a whoiesai grocery or a hard
ware shop, wear skirts that clear the
ground by at least three inches; but
if you are employed in the private
office which has been wei furnished
and nicely carpeted, wear longer
skirts, not trains. but cut to escape
the ground Your employer will want
you, like the furniture and pictures,
to dress his Office tremendously.
Wear tailored shirt waists and black
or Oxford gray tailored skirts. If you
prefer black silk waists, never fail to
soften these with fine linen or lawn
collars and cuffs and white or black
ties. Avoid garish colors. Be digni-
fled in your dress as we'll as your
manner. Do not consider that money
spent on office clothes is WASTED. It
will bring you better returns than
money spent on party frocks or feath-
er-trimmed hats

HIS SPECIAL LIFE WORK IS
TO GIVE AID TO CHILDREN


needs to be encouraged and drawn out
in some special manner No two are
ever exactly alike and for this reason
he deprecates the present system Of
education, which herds children and
requires them to master the same
tasks throughout their school life.
The influence of this man over chill
dren is marked always. He has no
difficulty in getting them to leave off
play and talk with him. He seems to
anticipate what they desire for his
questions seem to win answers that
express full confidence. His pockets
are never empty of presents suitable
for children. Cards, pictures, toys,
books and hundred other small ar
ticles fairly leap from his pockets
whenever he meets a group of child
rem. He is never caught unprepared
and were he to meet a hundred Chi
dren he would probably find some.
thing for every one of them.
Every Sunday school superintendent
is delighted when Jacob Huntsinger,
the Children's Friend, comes to town.
His coming is usually unheralded but
his presence is never long unknown,
for children everywhere carry the
news and Sunday schools receive him
gladly. Many years ago he was iicens-
ed to preach and not many Sundays
have passed since then that he has not
preached somewhere, but he does not
claim the ministry as his profession,
rather disclaiming it and proudly stat
ing his business to be the "Children's
Friend
Yet Active And Youthful.
Ministers and public functionaries
practically everywhere in the states
named have expressed appreciation
for his work. There are thousands of
men and women whose hair is now
grey and step growing feeble who
daily remember with thankfulness the
influence of Little" Jacob Huntsinger.
There are few houses in this section
which do not contain treasured pre-
sents from this man bestowed in child
hood. And these presents are now
treasured keepsakes and valued for
their association.
Until within the last three years
Jacob Huntsinger has kept his per
manent residence at Hagerstown, but
since then he has continued to return
to Huntington, Ind, where he is COM
fortably located when not on the road
at his work. Notwithstanding his aSe,
seventy-one, he is active and youthful
in appearance. His small size sug-
gests the thought that childhood has
with this lover of children,
and his quick, impulsive actions bear
out the notion.
Rev. Huntsinger estimates that in
the fifty years and more that he has
followed his life work he has walked
no less than fifty thousand miles,
more than twice around the earth. In
all those journeys his feet never car
ried him into an unWelcome place nor
did he ever receive an unkind greet
ing. He hopes to continue his work
yet many years.
