Buttons are a most favored trim

One of the prettiest fashions of
year of pretty fashions is that of
threading the skirt of a frock with
ribbons at fiounce depth. Instead of
using the beading which was formerly
employed in carrying out this idea.
this present mode demands that ac-
tual Sits be cut in the dress. These
are buttonholed and the ribbon or vel
vet is then passed in and out. The
fullness of the skirt is drawn In to
suit the figure of the wearer, result
which is the reason for discarding the
less troublesome beading. The ends of
the ribbon are either tied at intervals
or are all looped at the left side.

Doctors Discus. Indu.trra1r.m.

The effects of the present-day tendency
of women to enter into economic compe-
tition with men came up for an airing be-
fore the Chicago meeting of the American
Academy of Medicine. Several of the
male physicians deplored the fact that
too many women unsexed themselves by
forsaking home life for wor,. in shops,
stores and factories" and one said that
the lack of servants and housewives was
disrupting society. A woman doctor.

When should n Girl Marry.


Reason should govern marriage to
some degree. although it does not.
People in love do not reason. Here
is where the parents or legal guardian
Of a girl can Justify their Office by do
ing the thinking she is neglecting for
dreaming-al a more pleasant pas
time to one in love.
1t is a sacrilege for an ignorant girl
of is to become a wife. Even worse
for her to assume the obligations and
responsibility of motherhood The av-
erage girl of IS is too young to marry,
immature in body and mind. Far bet
ter to wait than to risk the happiness
Of two lives.
Late marriages are usually made out
of respect and friendship, the founda-
tons of love, but they miss the thrill
and passion of love itself. Such mar
riages provide a home and congenial
companionship for the man and woman
who have outlived their first youth,
with its buried emotions and tender
memories. and makes for them a sort
of Indian summer of happiness. The
ideal time Of life for a woman to marry
is from twenty to thirty five. For a
man, from twenty-five to forty-fise.
Society women do not marry young.
AMI who can find an old woman OF
thirty in society? They are plentiful
enough among the 10000, where women
marry at sixteen. seventeen and eight
cen, and settle down to humdrum ex-
Istence filled with dishes TO wash and
babies to care Tor.
Home ought not to be a dull place.
1t ought to be the most interesting spot
In the world to the wife and mother.
But it is Impossible for girl who has
not attained her physical and mental
growth to grasp the true significance
and meaning of the home or to bear its
burdens without deteriorating.
Some of the happiest marriages are
those between persons over twenty-five
and under thirty-five They have seen
life and met interesting people, they
are sure of themselves, and no ar
finity," were she equipped with mag
netic batteries from head to foot, could
separate them. They are married for

In spite of the fact that Secretary Taft
has often laughingly declared that mo
real gentleman weighs more than 300
pounds" his solid bulk combined with the
compact frame of his running mate, James
S. Sherman, makes the heaviest ticket
ever put forward by any national party.
The two men together tip the scales at
something not far short of 500 pounds.
The record before this was held by the
Democrats on the strength Of the avoirdu-
pois of Grover Cleveland. When nomi-
mated in 1892 Mr.. Cleveland weighed
about go pounds, but the small figure
of Adlai E. Stevenson kept the total
around 425 pounds.

PRICES AT HIGH MARX.
Level for 1907 Twenty Nine Per
Cent Above Average for Years.

1t will be of interest to those who
were busy last year in keeping the wolf
from the door to know that figures on
wholesale prices of 25S representative
staple articles reached the apex of
their soaring last October. These sta
tistics are for the eighteen years be-
tween 1890 and 1907.
The annual report on this subject of
the Commerce and Labor Departments
shows that the average for the year
1907 was 5.a per ceit higher than for
1906; 44.4 per ceAt higher than for
1897, the year of lowest prices during
the eighteen-year period. and 29.5 per
cent higher than the average for the
ten years from 1890 to 1899. Prices
reached their highest point during the
aighteen-year period in October. 1907,
the average for that month being 1.2
per cent higher than the average for
the year 1907, and % per cent higher
than the average for December. 1905,
the month of highest prices in that
year.
When the commodities are divided
into nine groups every group shows an
Increase in price in 1907 as compared
with 1906. For farm products taken
as whole this increase was greatest,
namely, 100 per cent; for food, 46 per
cent; for clothes and clothing, sc per
cent; for fuel and lighting "a per
ceit; for metals and implements, 81 per
cent; for lumber and building materi-
ais, 40 per cent; for drugs and chem
icals, S.3 per cent; for house furnish
ing goods, 6.S per cent, and for the mis-
cellaneous group, per cent.
The effect of the money stringency in
the latter part Of the last year is re-
Elected in the decrease recorded in all
commodities during November and De-
cember, the average price showing a
decrease of 80 per cent below October
Of the 25S articles for which whole
sale prices were recorded 172 showed
an increase in the average prices for
1907 as compared with 1906; thirty five
showed no change and tifty-one showed
4 decrease.

Insomnia.

Insomnia is not the uncommon fate of
the brainworker, who, after years of
continuous mental strain, retires from
active life. The rea reason is that
mental activity demands a large supply
of blood for the brain, and the blood
vessels gradually accommodate them
selves to this large supply. But, when
the hard work is over, the brain does
not always realize that it needs less
nourishment, and hence the condition
of excessive mental activity, which is
what insomnia is.-London Mail.
