How a Girl Throws.

Perhaps Il better title would have
been How Girl Doesn't Throw"
because it Is well known that a girl
cannot propel ball or anything else
like boy. Most people-and all boys
conclude that this defect arises from
clumsiness, but that is a mistake.
The difference between girls throw
ing and a boys Is substantially this:
The boy crooks his elbow and
reaches back, with the upper part OF
his arm about at right angle of forty
five degrees. The direct act Of throw.
ing Is accomplished by bringing the
arm back with sort of snap. working
every joint from shoulder to wrist.
The girl throws with her whole arm
rigid, the boy with his whole arm re-
Taxed. Why this marked and unmis-
taxable difference exists may be ex'
planned by the fact that the clavicle
or collar bone in the feminine anatomy
is some inches longer and set some de.
grees lower down than In the mascu-
line frame The long, crooked, awk.
ward bone interferes with the full and
free use Of the arm This Is the rea.
son why girl cannot throw a stone.

Watch on Her Wrist.

"Believe me-" said jeweler, sin an
other season or two every woman will
wear her watch on her wrist. Wo-
mans watch is nuisance to her If
carried in any other way. She has
Worn it In her waist. on her waist and
at her belt. She has carried 1t in
watch pocket and hung it from neck
lace. But the wristband alone has Civ
en- her solid comfort. The bicycle girl
was the first to adopt the wristband.
1t was necessary that she be able to
look at her watch without dismount-
ing, and the only safe way to do that
was to wear 1t on her wrist. Then the
eQuestrienne took 1t up and after her
the yachtswoman. Not for years did
woman adapt the idea to ordinary use.
Now, however. at least one in ten car
ries her watch In that way, and the
proportion Is increasing so rapidly that
look to see 1t become universal. \
watch so carried is less likely to be
damaged than If hung from chate-
laine pin and less likely to be stolen"

HOUSEWIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
The Cost Of Canning Fruit and vege-
tables Greatly Increased.

This is the time of year known to the
housekeeper as canning time" Fruits
and vegetables are put up for future
use, and a strong pull is made on the
family eXchequer to supply the sugar
and the glass or tin cans In which arti
cles are preserved. 1t may be WELL
therefore, to remind those Interested
and If we include those who buy can
ned articles as well as those who them
selves do the canning this will COM
prise pretty nearly every one-that the
affected enormously by the tariff taxes
on sugar. tin and glass.
In the year ending June 80, 1907,
1885 615,540 pounds of sugar were en-
tered for the payment of import duty.
In spite Of protection to the sugar rails
ing industry in the United States, the
domestic production was less than %
The average tariff tax on sugar was
65.49 per cent, yielding to the govern
ment a revenue of $50, 1871.
But greater yet was the tax paid by
consumers of sugar to the refining in
terests known as the sugar trust. Little
refined sugar was imported, less than
fifteen one-hundredths of per cent of
the revenue being obtained from that
source.
The trust gets it's revenue from con-
sumers by means Of "differentials" in
the sugar duties, taxing refined grades
much heavier than unrefined and ell
aiding the trust to charge for refined
sugar much more than the cost Of raw
sugar plus a reasonable charge for re-
filming. When the government gets
$G0,OOO000 it is a safe estimate that
the trust gets about $75,OOO0OO through
the tariff. The people might save this
graft that goes to the trust by abolish
ing the differentials They could also
reduce the duties on raw sugar with
out serious injury to the sugar produc-
ing localities. The reduced price would
largely increase the consumption Of
sugar in the United States and so
might not result in any loss Of revenue
to the government.
Glass Jars suitable for canning fruit
were in 1907 taxed at rates of duty
from 40 to 60 per cent Tin plates
from which cans are made were taxed
at an average rate of 1851 per cent
while manufactured cans bore duty
of As per cent. These oppressive taxes
on the materials used by the housewife
at canning time add much to the cost
of the canned product. They also add
to the cost of operating canning fac.
tories and in many places prevent the
establishment of such factories. Farm
ers frequently let their fruit and vege
tables go to waste because there is no
factory to which they can be taken or
because, with high prices for sugar
and cans. they cannot be canned at a
profit. With canning materials I'M
taxed and with the better market for
produce that would follow the starting
of numerous factories, many a farm
now worth but $40 or $15 per acre
might be worth 500 or S2J.

The Sea Serpent Myth,

1t is possible. even probable. that the
sea serpent myth started in all good
faith. In the southern seas grow the
gigantic algae. the largest of which
measure from 400 to GOO feet in length.
These when rolled on the beach form
enormous cables several hundred feet
long and as thick as good sized tree
trunk. Such cables washed out to sea
by storms may very easily have given
rise to the farfamed but yet undiscov-
cred sea serpent.-New York Ameri-
