Some Women Who Are

'Should women voter" repeated the
wise woman That's question which

There are many women who are
more fitted to vote than men. retorted
the suffragette.
That's it. There are many women
no doubt who would be eminently At.

~Oh, yes, dare say. But would they

That's the point, and some man who

tiny tucks, make one row OF French
knots, one row of brier stitching and
two more rows Of knots; repeat this
until the piece is the right size for the
CROWN. Put the crown in the cap
with the work going up and down the
back, not across, as It looks much bet
ter.
Use fine thread to sew with. Do not
make large knots. In fact, there should
be no knots in fine sewing. Use a fine
needle. Have your hands immacu-
lately clean. so the article will COM
pore favorably with the beautiful
French work when finished.
Be sure to make the smallest stitches
possible when sewing on the lace edge.
There are plenty Of sewers who will
not need this advice, and, on the other
hand, there are as many who doaneed
it, and a timely word Of cautioT does
no harm.

Smiling THROUGH Life.

1t is q generally accepted though
utterly erroneous article of belief tha-
melancholy people have deeper feel
ings than cheerful people and that
those who are endowed with a sense Of
humor have of necessity, therefore. been
denied a sense of pathos. A woman
has only to wear a sad expression of
countenance and to talk In a winning
voice and people give her credit for
unfathomable depths OF sentiment and
emotion, while her sister, who goes
smiling through life and irradiates
cheerfulness wherever she may be, is
credited with utter want Of heart, for
in these days Of advertisement people
have not the discernment to perceive
that the difference between the mel
ancholy woman and the CHEEKY one is
generally the difference between self
ishness and unsel6shness. They both
have their sorrows-they would not be
human if they had not-but the former
forces her burdens upon other people.
while the latter sets herself to tighten
theirs.-Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler.

rrIviaI cau,. Of : bloody war.

In the year 1854 a Polish nobieman
became obnoxious to the laws OF his
country by reason of his having com
|mitted crime. He fed to Sweden.
|whereupon John Casimir, king Of Po-
land, wrote to Charles Gustavus, king
|of Sweden, demanding the surrender of
the criminal. The king Of Sweden on
!reading the dispatch noticed that his
|own name and titles were followed by
two set ceteras," while the name Of
the king Of Poland was followed by
three. The missing ''et cetera" so en-
ragged the king Of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great BIT
|terness until 1860, when a peace was
|signed at Olivia, near Danzig. A con-
|temporary writer Kochowsl1y) poured
|out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: How dear has this 'et

1850 cars will be sent into the Delaware

care for the shipments. Refrigerator cars
will be used whenever possible. The Penn

cars used on its-system. so the only eN-
