Momnn Is Naturally a Gnmblcr.

Because the very contrary condition
exists in the human family. the mar,
ried woman who endeavOrs to supply
her own economic wants is met with
difficulty on every side. This state of
affairs. declares Montgomery Rollins
in Success Magazine" is due some
what to customs which have gradually
grown to be almost rules, but largely
to the universal lack of appreciation
of the seriousness of this problem.
Women ought to know about invest
ments. especially those who expect to
be left as guardians of children's
funds. to say nothing of the care of
their own inheritances. Why it is that
certain firmly underlying principles
can not be understood by, or taught
to, womankind is veXing. Naturally
she is, probably, more of a gambler
than man, and prone to take risks
which would stagger a man with no
greater experience.
A house owner who was seriously
considering whether 1t would not be
the cheapest method of settlement to
turn over the house and lot to the
plumber to offset his bill, declared, in
some anger that there were some sub
jects which could be wisely dispensed
with in the public school curriculum
in exchange for good common-sense
course in plumbing. The writer OF
this article, however, feels that a great
safeguard against financial loss, with
resultant increased contentment to
thousands, could be brought about by
injecting good course in simple fl
nance-the handling of money and its
investment-into these self-same
schools. And why not? Is not the
wise conserving of money the making
of any nation? 1t has done every
thing for the French, and why should
K not receive the most serious kind
of consideration in ?-Suc-
cess.

Advantages of the short Girl.

The tall girl may be more imposing
in appearance, more of a power at
social functions but the short girl
does deadlier execution among men.
From the first day they are at ease
with her, which means a great deal
to the average man; in her presence
he does not feel the drawbacks of early
incessant cigarette smoking, and the
degeneracy of his sex; she can coax
and pout, and flounce into pretty lit
tie passions with greater grace than
a daughter of the gods" she needs a
protecting arm in a crowd, and she
does not take up so much room in
railway car, or dwarf her partners
in the ballroom or while out for a
walk.
There never yet was little woman
who could not flirt more furiously
than a tall one, and yet escape unfa-

Sometimes a person would Ike to
change some expensive umbrella ham
die to another umbrella and fasten 1t
on solid. This can be done by cleaning
out the hole left in the handle from
the old rod and filling the hole with
powdered sulphur Place the handle
in a solid upright position. and af-
ter heating the umbrella rod red hot
push the rod down into the hole con-
tanning the sulphur. The hot rod fuses
the sulphur, and when cold it may be
applied to fastening rods into stone,
iron or wood.

strength of Hnman Hair.

A human hair of average thickness
can support a load of Ia ounces,
and the average number of hairs on
the head is about 10000. A wom-
ans long hair has a total tensile
strength of more than five tons, and
this strength can be increased one
third by twisting the hair. The an
clients made practical use of the
strength of human hair. The cords of
the Roman catapults were made Of
the hair of slaves. and it is recorded
that the free women of Carthage offer
ed their luxuriant tresses for the same
use when their city was besieged by
the Romans.

THE TRAVELLING WARDROBE

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
There are various opinions on the sub

agree that peace Of mind demands as lit

object Of travel as a social life makes
it necessary to carry articles which would

and she has the best possible time. They

their entire time in sightseeing. They

govern the social life OF such places
