Due to Vanity.

What women will do and endure in
the quest of beautiful looks was ex-
empli1ed by some instances given by
lady doctor.
A very wealthy woman recently took
on trip abroad with her a staff of
beauty experts besides her maids
They Travelled with her everywhere,
staying at the best hotels and receiv-
ing large salaries for about an hours
work each per day The lady, who
is considerably past middle age, thus
managed to keep up an appearance of
youth, the artiilciality of which, how
ever, deceived no one but herself.
Other beauty maniacs, as they are
called, are so made up with dyes and
facial coloring matt9r that they have
to avoid the open afr. The treatment
begins at noon, the face being steamed
and massaged, the hands arms, and
neck whitened with artificial prepare
tions, the hair manipulated and the
figure scientifically laced. Drugs are
used to make the eyes bright. And all
this is gone through for the sake of
shining at some social function.-Cas-

WAS MERELY MAKING WORK.
When Target Practice Was Not So
Important as It is Now.

I'm recent years" said an ordnance
officer, everything on war vessel
gives way to target practice. The one
thing a commander is more interested
in than anything else is the record
that his men can make at the ranges.
But there was a time when the man
behind the gun was not recognized
as the most important element in the
efficiency Of fighting ship.
ITO illustrate: / was junior officer
on the old Essex many years ago. In
those days we had target practice
once a quarter. We were forced by
regulations to eXpend so many rounds
OF ammunition every three months
and-well, that was about all there
was to it. 1t was a perfuactory kind OF
practice, and every one was glad
when it was over,
"One day we went out for the quar-
terly practice, anchored the target and
went at it. The targets we used in
those days were three planks fasten-
ed in a Triangle, a spar stepped in the
center to hold the canvas which form
ed the target proper.
"Now the gun captain Of the for
ward pivot rifle was an excellent
marksman, and on his first trial he
sent she'll through the spar, which
smashed it into flinders. That, Of
course, STOPPED the practice, and out
went a boat to tow the wrecked tar
get alongside for repairs.
When it had been patched up, 1t
was towed back to its place, and firing
was resumed.
Again the same gunner had the
first shot, and again his shell brought
down both the spar and the canvas.
The boat was again sent out, But
when the repaired target was being
towed back to the range, the captain,
who was much out Of humor by the
delay spoke his mind
Tell Gunner Blank, he command
ed, that if he hits that target again
will put him in the brig.

places For Alien Millions.

Although immigrants are coming
into this country at the rate of about
100000 year, there are places for
millions more. This vas shown by
the first report of Terence V. Pow
derly, chief of the division of inform
alton of the bureau of immigration,
established two months ago.
Already information has been fur
nished that places can be provided for
256,OOO men, women and children at
wages ranging from SO a week to $3.50
a day. Three states alone report that
100000 settlers are needed on their
lands.
To distribute this information and
locate immigrants where they are
needed circulars will be sent to for
eign lands, and placed on incoming
ships and at the various seaboard
ports. Agents of the immigration
bureau also will travel back and forth
on the vessels and disseminate the in
formation among immigrants.

Cause Of collapse of srIdue.

That failure of the chords of the an
rhor arm of the Quebec bridge was
the direct cause of the collapse of the
structure, is the opinion of Norman
r. McLure, the engineer who repre-
sented Chief Engineer Cooper of New
York. Mr.. McLure was on the stand
all day and this was the closing of his
testimony.
The witness stated that the mason
ry and foundations were all right and
therefore the cause of the accident
lay in the steel work and his opinion
was that it was due to the failure of
either chord GA or OIL.
Mr.. Mcclure told of the discovery of
defects in these chords few days be-
fore the collapse of the bridge and
OF the steps taken to remedy them.
He went to New York and consulted
MI Cooper The latter at once tele-
graphed instructions to PhoeniXville
ordering the Phoenix Bridge company
to stop putting material on the bridge.
