Russian Women.

A Russian paid the following glow, ing tribute to the women of his na. tive land: "The women of Russia com. bine the vivacity and wit of the Frenchwoman with the industry and thrift for which the women of Ger many are famous She is a superb wife and mother and withaI fine mental worker. The Russian girl stu dent Is generally in the front rank at the universities Doubtless some of her fine qualities are due to the fact that in Russia women are free and are in every respect considered to be the equals of men Russian women are born politicians and diplomats and so intensely patriotic that they esteem no sacrifice too great for their country; hence as revOlutionists-howe mis- guided-they are infinitely more daring and devoted than the men. Secrets have been wrung from male revolu- tionarles by torture. but never from the women"

ROCKVILLE

The balloon 'EPittsield, ' which made an ascension at Pittsf1eld at , 55 yesterday afternoon, landed here just an hour later. The descent was very rapid and in order to get clear of the buildings in the city the pilot. Will liam Van Sleet, threw out what bal last he had Passing over the Saxony mill. the pilot let down the anchor in the vicinity of Grand street. The anchor caught in a tree and was broken. The balloon dragged along a quarter of mile. when it became entangled in tree in the yard at Christian Newmarker's The pilot and his companions leaped from the basket after their wild flight. The balloon was held by Police Captain Kane for damages to city property in tearing down fire alarm wires. The wires were ripped from the poles for a quarter of mile. The pilot stated that they reached a height of 10000 feet, which is believed to be the highest achieved by 8 balloon. at least in this country. MT. Vau Sleet said that at this altitude the air was warm and kept the bag up, but that when he brought the balloon to a lower level into a current of cold air, the drop was very rapid.
 The Rockville Fair association held its annual meeting Monday. The re- port of the treasurer showed that the total receipts of the fair of 1908 were $5, 91O 27, and the company cleared 8 small amount The expenses were increased in all departments. The total received from ground privileges amounted to $737. 54. The amounts paid out included $414. 36 for per- manent improvements. The stage attractions cost $1, 481. A lengthy debate was heard over the advisability of increasing the admission from 85 cents to 30 cents, or running the fair two days instead of three. The con- sensus seemed to be that for fair of the standard given by the Rockville 8esOclaG1On, An aOmlssOu or OO conGs could be charged. The suggestion that the association run a two days fair didn't Ill ct with much favor, but both of these matters will be taken up by the directors later on. The old board of directors were re- elected as follows: Andrew King : bury, o. O. West, Alfred Abbey, E. H. Preston, Charles A. Thompson, Edward F. Badmington, A M Burke, T. F. Noone, O. A. Leonard, P B. Leonard and A. L Martin. The di. reetors postponed the election of off cers to later meeting. Treasurer Francis A. Randall announced to the board that he was not a candidate for re election and under no consideration would he accept re election, owing to his other duties He has served the association most efficiently for the past eleven years and previous to that was treasurer of the old Holland County Agricultural Society.

Trousers,

The shape, being loose around the knees and ankles, allows sailors trou. sers to be quickly rolled over the knees If 1t Is necessary to leap into shallow water, such as is necessary when beaching a boat Thus. by keeping the trousers dry, the men are able to move more quickly. and do not suffer from cold. The sailors uniform Is npt sub ject to varying orders of 1oshion, wherefore seafarers of today wear clothes of essentially the same pattern 6as those prescribed for them w'}en the American navy was first established. This was taken with little change from that of the British navy. which was adopted by order of King George III. about the middle of the eighteenth cen tury. For many centuries men almost universally wore "breeches" (alsO known as '.small clothes'), a garment which, whether tight full. never reached below the knee, though during the seventeenth century a loose gar- ment, known as "tongs," or "slyders, v came into general use among the work ing classes. at first probably used as overalIs. A pirture of the pirate Wil- fam Teach. known to have been painted in 1734, shows him in long trousers, wherefore 1t is supposed that men who followed the sea were among the first to adopt the more comfortable garment. ..-Housekeeper.
