Named Man-Ihe New Type
of Woman :: :: :: :: :: ::

Funny how some women don't seem
to realize that in belittling their hus-
bands they belittle their own selves"
remarked the observing woman.
Il have heard foolish persons Of my
own sex make their husbands out to
be the weakest and the LATEST of their
kind or else the most dissipated and
unreliable, and then they have won
dered at the contemptuOus pity OF
their acquaintances; also they have
been surprised that their husbands
did not get along more rapidly in the
world.
Il have known married women who
were worth a little money let it be
known that they paid the household
bills and in this way made their hus-
bands occupy secondary position.
The husband has gradually become
brutalized by this sort of thing until
lie has been content to allow his wire
to wear the trousers and in many
cases actually to hustle for the cash
while he lay back and took it easy.
What a goose woman Is not 10
realize that in marriage her own
achievements count for nothing along
side those of her husband; that her posi-
ton in the world depends exactly on
how much he is esteemed by his fellow
men.
Lots of clever women realize this
and actually advertise their own hus-
bands carefully hiding shortcomings
In order to help themselves along In
the world. and that's good stunt for
any woman to do"

WARSH|PS ON THE PACIFIC
Navy Department Being Urged to Dis
tribute More Vessels Among
Stations on the Coast.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. an. 14.-It is
not improbable that within the next
few months more of the heavier ar
mored vessels of the navy will be or
dered to the Pacific and that in the
future the western coast of the CONT
nent will be given it's just share of the
defensive equipment of the navy.
The subject is one which has long
received the attention of the Pacific
Coast commercial and civic bodies and
western statesmen.
AT the present time the Washington
delegation is working to the end that
more vessels be stationed on the Pa
cific coast and it has been presented
to the secretary of the navy that the
department change it's policy so far
as to divide the Asiatic fleet and keep
the heavier clad vessels nearer home
by distributing them among the sta
tons on the Pacific.
Secretary Metcalfe has agreed to
take the matter under consideration
with the prospects that before many
months a change will be ordered and
the long neglected Pacific coast be ac-
corded its proper attention.

FINE BUSINESS RECORD.
Bradstreet's Financial Report for 1906
Is Credit to Washington.

That 1906 was "a very prosperous
year, the like of which, as regards
failures, has certainly not been seen
for nearly generation past" is
Bradstreet's verdict based on its re-
turns of business fanures in the Unit
ed States last year
Of the 1,4O1 ,9S5 persons in business
in the United States in 1906 "a gain of
SO per cent over -905), only 1884
failed, a proportion of but &C humid
reths of 1 per cent, as against 73
hundredths in 1905. 80 hundredths in
1904, LAO per cent in 1896 and 1.50 per
cent in 1892.
There were 9,oo4 failures reported
for ne full calendar year 1906, de-
crease of SO per cent from 1905 of 2.5
per cent from 1899, and to this extent,
the smallest total of failures reported
in any year by Bradstreet's since 1882.
The total assets involved for 1906
were SCI ,622,33S; for 1905 the total
was $65,169,14S. The total liabilities
for 1906 were 123,S27,957; for 1905,
1921 ,796,783
The state of Washington is credited
with a fine showing The number of
failures decreased from 1873 in 1905, to
112 in 1906; the assets decreased from
$5GS,132 in 1905 to $497, 4O1 in 1906;
while the liabilities made a trifling
increase from SI,O1S,679 in 1905, to ST..
OBS ,230 in 1906.

WEDDING OUT The WEAK ONES
Over One Hundred Stanford Students
Dropped Because Below Standard
in Scholarship.

STANFORD, UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Jan. 14.-Never before have such a
large number of students been sus-
pended at the end of any one semester
as on this occasion. AS the result
of a new and rigid policy adopted by
the committee on scholarship, nearly
100 students have been dropped from
the university rolls. OF this number
10 are women students, another fact
that is unprecedented.
The effect of the new policy adopted
by the committee as shown by its re-
cent action will be far-reaching in it's
results, as many men prominent in stu
dent activity were forced to leave col
lege. A 'carsity baseball player,
member of the football team, the edi-
tor of the college daily and many
others in high positions were among
the number.
The committee has held a meeting
to consider petitions and special cases
brought to it's attention. While it is
not in a position to give out any in
formation, as several cases are still
under consideration, it is generally
known that but few of those dropped
will be able to get back, and the COM
mittee is likely to reverse but few OF
its former decisions.
The action of the scholarship COM
mittee in dropping so large number
Of students is not indicative of the fact
that poor work was done last semester,
but rather that the standards of work
required have been considerably raised
There has been a Tightening up, as it
were, in every department, and those
who are back and able to register are
congratulating one another on escaping
the ominous little pink card"

WOULD INCORPORATE.
Toppenish, to Enforce Law, Desires tc
Be Given Charter.

NORTH YAKIMA, Jan. 1.-THE
town of Toppenish, on the Yakima
reservation, will petition the county
commissioners at the next regular
meeting of that body. February 4, for
the privilege of submitting a PROPOSE
ton to the votes on the question of
Incorporating. A long petition has
been circulated among the citizens of
that place and few are found VINO OPP
pose the proposition.
1t is generally conceded by the ma
jority of the business men of Top
penish that a step of this kind is nee
essary in order to enforce the law.
Heretofore the lawless element of Top
penish has given the authorities a
great deal of trouble, and for some rea-
son the law breakers have been able to
evade prosecution, and nave contin-
uei in their defiance Of the statutes.

RAVAGES OF THE REQ PLAGUE"
United States Suffered Half Billion Of
Losses Through Fires Last Year
Thousands of Lives Lost.
Nearly 1000 lives lost and more than

Nearly 1000 lives lost and more than

stroyed-this is the havoc that marks
last years path of the "red plague
from San Francisco to New York
Every Gay of the year just ended. on
the average, twenty lives and nearly
81 100000 were sacrificed upon the
altar Of the fire god. Nowhere else in
Inc world is the fire loss in bulk or pro
rata anywhere near our own. The av-
erage loss is now $2OO,OO0,OOO a year,
and still no effective means are taken
to check it.
Something like an adequate concep-
ton of what these losses mean is ar
rived at by considering what the half
billion dollars thrown onto the ma
tiona, ash heap last year would buy
1t would pay for fleet of fifty bat
tleships, everyone equal to the Dread
nought." 1t would pay one-half of our
imports and wipe out half the national
debt. 1t would cover the cost of SO
SAY SCIdpeTS.
A practical suggestion as to one way
of reducing the fire loss is being
pressed upon the attention of Ameri
can municipalities by the International
society of Building Commissioners
and Inspectors. The argument of this
organization is that fire losses and
costly fire departments are due main
ly to dangerous buildings, and that
these buildings should, therefore, pay
higher taxes than are assessed on fire
proof structures The society, with
headquarters at Washington, anC
others similar to it are carrying on al
active campaign of education in favor
of fireproof building.
That absolutely fireproof construc
ton is a possibility has been snOwr

Eyclashcs and Tears.

Professor Sterling in his lecture
told the audience many strange
things about their eyes. The eye
lashes, for instance, contain from
100 to $50 hairs on the upper and
eighty. to ninety on the lower lid.
These hairs are replaced about every
100 days. Tears are Of three kinds,
he continued:
q. Natural tears, the little flood
which nature secretes. in the eye to
wash away all the dust particles;
"2. Psychic tears, when flow when
minds are for the moment unbal-
anced; and,
go. Alcoholic tears.
Tears do not always overflow, be-
cause there is just a little oily Sc
erection along the edge of our eyeids
which keeps the fluid back.
The japanese have a peculiar
overlapping fold, which obscures the
real edge of the eyelid. , This is why
their eyes look slanting. And ba-
bies'-all the mothers in the room
bent forward-"have just the same
fold on their eyes if you look for it"

The Iron Which is Gold.

If one should give me a dish OF
sand, and tell me there were particles
of iron in it, 1 might look for them
with my eyes and search for them
with my clumsy fingers, and be un-
able to detect them; but let me take
a magnet and sweep through it, and
now it would draw to itself the in
visible particles by the mere power
of attraction! The unthankful heart,
like my fingers in the sand, discovers
no mercies; but let the thankful
heart sweep through the day, and as
the magnet finds the iron, it will find
in every hour some heavenly bless
ings. Only the iron in Gods sand is
gold, declares Oliver Wendell Holmes.
