Two professors at Columbia University are
preparing to duplicate the famous Foucaut ex
pertinent proving that the earth moves. In view
of the fact that the Denver convention will
nominate Mr.. Bryan, it is high time to take
another look at the cosmic mechanism and see
whether the earth hasn't stopped rotating since
the "cross of gold" speech.

A member of the House of Representatives OF
the Kentucky Legislature has introduced Con-
gress district apportionment bill in which the
districts are so arranged to make them as
nearly equal as possible in point of population
Such a subordinaton of politics to arithmetic

gerrymanders are taken a matter of course
But why should not every state try TO live up
to the standard of justice and equality in ap-
portioning it's representation in the federal

GIRLS TO AID TORTURED MAN.
Cousins of Patient Contributing Bits
Of Cuticie.

Lima, Ozone Of the most remark
able cases Of skin grating known to
the medical scientists of the state is
that now in course of treatment upon
Forbes Bailey at the City hospital.
Bailey was horribly burned about six
months ago by burning waste alleged
to have been placed down his back in
a joke by a fellow employe at the
Lima Locomotive works. He was re-
moved to the hospital six weeks ago
and skin grating begun, and the slow
process has been on since that date,
at this time over 800 pieces of skin,
some no larger than the head of a
tack, are growing. twenty-five pieces
were added the other day, contributed
by a girl cousin OF the patient, while
many other persons have already con-
tributed skin from their own bodies
in order that the life of the victim
may be spared.
The surgeons estimate it will re-
quire 1000 pieces of skin in varying
sizes, and the process, necessarily
slow, will require a period of at least
six months. At the present time the
patient is doing nicely, though it has
been impossible for him to lie upon
his back. Another girl cousin has
consented to furnish the next supply
of skin, and in few days will sub.
NIT to the operation of permitting a
number of small pieces of cuticle to
be removed from her and placed upon
the back of her kinsman.

Psyche knot Velvet ribbon is ar
ranged in the hair with fiat bow at
the side. This last is particularly used
for the theater and takes the place OF
a hat. Then, too, many women are
wearing their hair in huge buns in the
back, round which quite broad ribbon
is fastened with bow at the top.
This arrangement is far from pretty,
but it has become quite popular.

FOR PAINTED TABLE SPREAD
Pretty Scarf That May, If Liked, Be
Made SO as to Wash.

Get one yard square white felt or
other material of something the same
nature. Trim the corners, beginning
the trimming about four inches back
from the point of the corner. With a
soft lead pencil draw faint line as
a guide one-half inch from the mar
gin all around the square. Paint this
half inch space any bright color. Four
inches from the margin draw another
faint tracing line entirely around the
square and one-half inch inside Of
this make the second tracing line.
Paint the half inch space between
these two last named tracing lines a
burnt sienna. In the four inch space
between the two half inch painted
strips paint round spots about one
half inch in diameter, and make them
quite close together, using several diff
ferent bright colored paints. After
the paint is dry cut this four inch
border up to the inner half inch strip
painted with the burnt sienna, from
the margin of the cloth directly to the
center, in strips not to exceed one
eighth of an inch in width, thus form
ing a string border. On the interior
space inside the border paint autumn
leaves, variously arranged, not too
many, shading them well so as to
make them stand out from the sur
face This makes one of the prettiest
scarfs for a table or stand we have
seen and is easily made. If desired,
wash paints may be used, which will
enable one to wash the drape when it
becomes soiled.

MEND TORN HOSE ON MACHINE
Easy to Do if These Directions Are
Properly Followed.

. Turn stocking wrong side out. Put
the inner hoop of small sized en-
broidery frame within the stocking
and draw stocking tightly with hole
as near the center as possible, and
hold in place with the outer hoop Of
the frame. Then place hand into
stocking and roll backward to the
hoop. Put under needle of sewing
machine, after pressure foot has been
removed and upper tension Of ma
chine considerably frightened. Use or
binary thread as for sewing. Hold
center Of frame to avoid getting this
under the needle. Begin at one side
of the hole and sew to other side
along the edge. Then, still holding
stocking in same position, proceed to
sew backwards. Thus sew one row
side of the preceding one until other
side is reached. Now turn the frame
and sew across the first rows in a
similar manner. This is quick way
of mending stockings, and with lit
tie practice can be done neatly. 1t
looks better than the ordinary mend
ing done by hand, wears fully as we'll,
and Is less liable to hurt the feet, es-
pecially where stocking Is mended
considerably.
This is also a nice and easy way
to mend lace curtains, as the weaving
can be made as heavy or as lacy as
one likes.

Ienutheninu of the Waist.

An otherwise pretty figure can be
married and made to look awkward II
the waist is short. An exercise which
will lengthen the waist and make it
round and graceful is as follows:
Raise the arms high over the head
and then bend at the waist, slowly
bringing the arms down until the tips
of the fingers touch the floor. Be sure
not to bend the knees. This exercise
will be difficult at first, in all proba-
bility, and it is likely that you will not
be able to touch the floor, but with a
few days practice this will be easier,
and at the end of month or six
weeks you will be able to lay the en-
tire hand fiat on the floor.

WOULD TOW IT, ANYWAY.
Tugboat Captain Ready for Any Ship

An Irish tugboat captain who is a
popular favorite along the waterfront
on account of his bluff, hearty ways.
imbibed somewhat freely Of the
schooners passing over the bars Of
South street the other night and
finally, when he up-anchored and
steered for the pier at which his boat
was lying, he carried fair-sized
cargo, says the New York Press.
Boarding his boat, he gave orders to
cast off and astonished his mate by
informing him that he was going out
to look for tow.
He steered his boat out into the
dark, foggy night till some time later
he ran by lightship. which he was
unable to make out because Of the
darkness. 1t SO happened that the
keeper was trimming one of the lights
at the time, and thus only one light
was showing, which is the signal for a
tow. The captain ran his boat up
alongside and beloved out into the
night:
Hey, aboard ship there!"
No reply.
Il say, aboard ship there!" repeat
ed the captain in stentorian tones.
This time the keeper responded with
whoop.
do you want tow in?" shouted
the captain, making q megaphone of
his hands.
"Ye drunken fule!" came the re.
ply. Don't We see this here is a
lightship?"
The captain squared himself bellig-
erently and shouted back in exaspera-
ton:
"An' phwat does thot matther, We
son of he goat? Faith, 1 don't care

before the man was quoted.
The dancer was Solomon Rosen-
baum, sixty-nine years old, who lives
with his wife and sons and daughters
on Throop avenue. He used to have
fruit and produce business, but lost
much money in the recent financial
troubles and has been mentally unbal-
anced ever since. Members of his
family recently have kept a close
watch on him, fearing he would at
tempt to kill himself, and the other
day his clothes were taken from him,
the presumption being that without
them he would not attempt to leave
the house
A doctor was called and had the
old man put in a straightjacket. He
fought so in the ambulance that was
taking him to Kings County hospital
to have his mental condition examined
that he broke the straightjacket and
had to be held down by the attend
ants.
