Upper Half Only IL Read.


did you ever think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only the
upper halves of the letters. The lower
halves are In many cases only the
stems the remainders of ornamental
fiourishes which have been gradually
reduced in size and length and are now
meaningless. 81
Take, for instance, the heading Of
a paper. Cover up with blank sheet
the lower half Of the letters and even
If you did not know what they. were
you would have no difficulty in reading
the words, Now reverse the process
and cover the upper half and II you
did. not know the words it would be
impossible to make out the letters.
This fact Is even more plainly seen in
the case of the Roman letters used for
headlines. An L might be mistaken
for an I, but nearly all the other let
tiers are so plainly indicated by the
shape of the upper half that the lines
may be read without difficulty.
In their zeal for reform and econo-
my the advocates of the new spelling
might make this idea useful and In
stead Of abolishing few letters In a
few words they might cut off the low

Shock to the Railroad.

Yes" said a railway claim agent
in New Orleans, we come across
queer things sometimes. The queer
est thing in my experience was the
case of a minister. This man was
hurt in a rear-end collision and we
gave him $4,000 damages. At the end
of the year we got a letter from him
that ran something Like this: My
salary is $4,000, and the accident
caused me to lose it for a twelve
month. My medical expenses were
$3.50. Ny board at mountain santa
forum for six months was $780, 9th
er expenses put to this accident were,
in round numbers, $1,000; total, $4,-
800. You gave me $4,000. Now
am back in the pulpit again, as well
and strong as ever, and l have $500
of your money on my hands. Not be-
ing entitled to that sum. | do what
any other minister would do in my
place. return the money to you as

for honestly said the claim agent.

lister and he gave 1t to charity in our

WHERE cHAPERoNs FLOURISH.
Less Freedom for Girls in Foreign
Colonies Than in America.

Less Freedom for Girls in Foreign
Colonies Than in America.
1t is hard for middled-aged immi-
grant women to understand the alb
sence of chaperonage in this country.
Italian women seek to enforce the
rule that girls shall not go about in
public places un-accompaned by an
older woman. The girls, on the other
hand, seeing the freedom enjoyed by
American girls, resist the enforcement
of the rule. The easiest way to solve
the problem is to marry the girls off
early and that is just what every tia
liam mother tries to do. Even here
the mothers have trouble, for the
italian girl picks up American notions
of marrying and giving in marriage
and is apt to rebel when her parents
provide her With husband after the
fashion approved in Italy
Chaperonage in one form or another
exists in the Jewish quarters of New
York and early marriages are the rule.
The Irish care less for chaperonage
than the Italians, but irish families
new to the country are bit shocked
at the freedom of Young girls here
In fact there is a rather strong sense
among the most conservative and old
fashioned Irish families that woman,
and particularly an unmarried woman,
should not be seen alone upon the
street save in going to and from
church, and are strict Irish women
who rarely appear in their best
clothes on the street merely for a
pleasure promenade.
Newly arrived Germans fetch with
them severe notions as to the freedom
of young girls, and German girls in
public places are apt to be aecompa-
MED by older women.

the people of Wisconsin" because they
are to have the privilege of riding on

like conditions as their neighbors in

be surmised that the Milwaukee dailies

OFFICE OF STATE FIRE MARSHAL
BEGINS WORK.
CAN CONDEMN BUILDINGS
Similar Department in Ohio Results
in Enormous Decrease in Fire Loss
-FrSves Blow at Incendiarism-
Thomas M. Purtell of Madison Is
Chief.
Madison, August 10.


The Office of state fire marshall
which was created at the last session
Of the legislature is receiving its first
batch OF reports The law creating
the new department received b,It
small opposition and was actively sup
ported by insurance companies. Sey-
eral states have similar departments
and insurance commissions in other
states are said to be advocating the
passage of a law possessing the es-
sential features of the Wisconsin stat
ute. The office is somewhat ham
pered because the necessary station
cry has not yet arrived but doubtless
. will soon be able to establish the
routine of the department. one OF
the most important features of the
newly created fire marsha department
is contained in section 1946l This
section gives the department power
to order the repair or removal of old
and dilapidated buildings which are
usually fire traps and a menace to
surrounding property, also to order
the removal of rubbish or other in
fiammable material which might be a
menace. All reasonable orders of
this kind which are issued must be
complied with under penalty The
department sent out blanks for re
ports to all fire chiefs, town clerks
and village precincts on August Bird
and have already received calls from
Different parts of the state for help
under this section. The possibilities
along this line are conclusively shown
from the experience of a similar de
partment in Ohio. The department
was created about six years ago and
the fire loss shows a gradual decrease
from the first year to the present
time, the first year showing a de-
crease of over 100000. The i'm
portance of this can be more readily
realized when it is known that the
sum is almost one-half of the total
amount paid in fire insurance premi-
ums in Wisconsin during 1906.

SPINAL CORD MENDED.
Wonderful Operation by New York
Doctor Proves Successful.

Alexander Adrehl, who had his spi-
nal cord severed by a bullet about
four years ago, win soon be discharged
from the City hospital, on Blackwelis
ISLAND, entirely well, It was said yester.
day, according to the New York Iri
bune. This case has attracted the
attention of the medical fraternity
owing to the medical fraternity, ow-
ing to the remarkable success of the
operation. which was performed by the
late Or. George Ryerson Fowler, in the
Brooklyn HOSPITAL on May 3, 1908. The
ends OF the severed cord were drawn to-
sether DR.. Fowler died year ago, md
shortly after his death the patient was
removed to the City hospital. Since
that time he has been under the treat
ment Of Or. Louis Casamajor,
Adrehl was shot in the back during
a street fight in Brooklyn. When he
was taken to the hospital the lower
part of his body was completely par
alyzed The bullet passed between
the tenth and eleventh vertebrae.
They were both badly shattered.
In an article in the Annals of Surg
cry on the operation, DR.. Fowler said;
An incision was made SIX inches long
over the spines of the Vertebrae The
leminae of the tenth, eleventh and
twelfth vertebrate were removed by
chisel. The bullet was found lying
transyersely between the severed ends
of the core. concealed from view by q
large blood clot.

fused strip Of membrane, scarcely
more than an eighth OF an inch in
with, remained intact, The blood clot
