COLLEGE CHEERS
FOR TAFT AS He
FACES THOUSANDS
President-Elect Talks on Pro-
LESSONS at University of
Pennsylvania Celebration.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22-President-
elect Taft was the central figure in the
sylvania to-day OF the nth anniversary
OF the birth OF George Washington. The
exercises took place in the old Academy
OF Music, into which four thousand per-
sons crowded. Washington's birthday
has been celebrated by the University
ever since 1896 as University Day" and
tO-day's observance was made especially
notable by the presence OF Mr.. Taft
who was greeted with cheers as he ap.
peared on the stage.
The First Troop, Philadelphia City
Cavalry. in its picturesque dress uni
form, escorted the President-elect from
the residence of Or. c. Weir Mitchell
the host Of Mr.. and Mrs. Taft. to the
Academy. There was crowd about
the Mitchell residence on Walnut street
when Mr.. Taft left the house and he
was given a hearty cheer. Thousands
OF persons lined the sidewalk of the
three blocks from the residence to the
Academy.
Mr.. Taft chose for the subject OF hi.
address Present Relations of the
Learned Professions TO Political Gov.
eminent" He discussed at considerable
length the influence which the learned
professions. in this day, have upon ma.
tionai and municipal government. He
outlined lumInorsly the part each OF the
important professions plays in a govern
ment BY the people and compared their
influences, one with another. In brlei
part, he said:
Stir the Conscience.
1T is the duty of every citizen to
give as much attention as he can to
the public veal and to take as much
interest as he can In political mat
tiers. Americans generally have recog.
n!zed these duties. and We find active
in political life men representing all
professions, all branches OF business
and all trades. l propose this morning
to invite your attention to the present
relation OF each OF the learned profes.
sions and government.
The first profession Is that OF the
ministry. Time was when the minister
OF the community was the highest au-
thority as to what the law should be
and how 1t ought to be enforced; but the
spread Of education and independent
thinking, the wide diffusion of knO wledgt
by the press, the disappearance OF the
simple village life, have contributed
radically to change the position and in.
fuence Of the ministry in the com.
munlty.
During the administration of Mr.
Roosevelt and under the influence Of CO
tain revelations OF business immortality
the conscience OF the whole country va
shocked and then nerved to the point o.
demanding that a better order OF affair:
be introduced. In this movement IT,,
ministers Of the various churches hav,
recognized the call upon them to assist
and they have been heard in accent.

Influence OF Writers.

influence OF writers.
Judge Taft, discussing teachers, said
that their relation to politics and gov.
eminent is of the utmost Importance
though indirect" He pointed out that
the professional teacher may exercise
great indirect political influence by the
encouragement that he ought to give to
the young man OF college age and life

INDIANA LAWMAKERS.
Stream Publication Bill.

The House, by a vote of AZ TO %,
concurred in the Senate amendment to
the McGinHis stream publication bill,
passed by the House February 4, and
by the Senate February %. McGinnis
declared the amendment satisfactory
to him as author of the measure.
Smith opposed its passage IN the
grounds that it added to the privilege
Of municipalities TO contract bonded
Indebtedness. The bill puts the super
vision of the streams of the State in
the hands of the State Board of
Health. 1t provides that on complaint
of any local board of health, county
commissioners, city councils, or town.
ship trustee, that a stream is being
polluted by municipality or any pri-
vate corporation, notice shall be serv-
ed on the party against whom COM
plaint is made, and a hearing held be-
fore the State board. If the board
rules against the party defendant the
board shall order that the pollution
cease and fix time within which the
order must be obeyed. If the ruling is
not satisfactory, the alleged offender
may appeal to a board of sanitary en-
gineers, composed Of one engineer Sc
lected by the board, one selected by
the defendant and third by these
two. Still further appeal may be
had to the courts from the board of
sanitary engineers.

Bill Passed Against Professional

Jurors.
The House Saturday passed a bill
that is expected to go far toward puf-
flying and reforming the present jury
system in the courts. 1t was Senator
Harlan's bill, which provides that
when there are vacancies ON jury,
the jury commissioners shall draw
names to fill such vacancies. This is
intended to do away with the old prac-
tice of filling vacancies by picking up
bystanders and placing them in the
jury box. Under the old system that
has been followed for many years, pro-
fessional jurymen have become seri-
Gus evil. 1t was with reform in view
that the Harlan bill was introduced.
Supporters of this bill believe the pro-
fessional juryman will be eliminated
by it, and that the jury will come near
er to being real jury. 1t was point
ed out that corporation or other lit
igant could have a number of bench
men in the courtroom while a jury
was being selected, and from these by
ISLANDERS it would be easy enough to
fill the jury box with men who favor
ed one side of the case.

MISS ANTS TOILET.

She's Pussy and Clean and Always
Carries Travelling set.
Insects are usually connected with
uncleanliness in the minds of most per-
sons. yet many insects are extremely
neat In their personal habits. The ant
performs a scrupulous toilet every day
She uses brushes. combs, sponges and
other implements in keeping herself
idly and never fears misplacing them
since nature has conveniently attached
them in permanent positions on her
body. \ hobo ant was never seen.
for the insect hates dirt like Dutch
housewife Working in the earth inev-
itably fowls her person. but she takes
wash and a rub down SO often that
few particles of foreign matter cling
long to her hairy self.
One of the ants toilet implements is
the tongue. says DIR. ii. c. McCook, in
Harper's Magazine. Around the sides
of this organ curves a series of hard
ridges which make it suitable for use
as both sponge and brush. Ants lick
themselves clean with their tongues,
like dogs and cats. The natural comb
on the leg is another important toilet
implement. 1t Is on the tibia and has
short handle. stiff back and sixty
five elastic teeth. 1t Is a fipe-toothed
comb and there is a coarSe-tOothed
comb of forty-five teeth on the Leg
right opposite. There are other combs
he tod
per jaws, through which the ant may
draw her legs and so clean them. Also
the mouth secretes a liquid which
might be compared to hair tonic and
which is rubbed on the members drawn
through the mandibles.
Ants wash about the same as human
beings, before beginning the days work
or retiring to sleep, or when the ac-
emulation of dirt makes them uncom
Portable Sometimes an ant quits in
the midst of a busy stunt Of nest build
Ing. leaves her fellow workers and goes
off In a corner to clean herself. She
combs and brushes diligently until she
feels that she Is in a decent state, and
then rejoins her laboring companions.
A study Of the toilet process in artifi-
clal nests with glass sides shows how
thorough and conscientious the insect
is In her personal care. There are num-
berless attitudes during the process.
When cleaning the head and fore parts
of the body the ant often sits upon the
two hind legs and turns the head to
one side The fore leg Is raised and
passed over the face, while the head
is slowly turned to expose botl sides to
treatment. The opposite leg may be
brought into use. For combing the back
hair the head is dropped low and the
leg comb sweeps through the tufts W
hair from the neck forward. At In
tervals the leg Is drawn through the
Jaws to moisten or wipe OFF the comb.
Odd positions are taken to clean the
abdomen and the singing organs. The
body may be bent in semicircle; some
times an acrobatic ant will suspend
herself by the hind legs to get the alb
domen In a convenient position. Ere
uuently one or two ants will perform
friendly toilet offices for q fellow in
sect, who gratefully reclines while 1t Is
being scrubbed and combed.

Dou'S Break Down.

There would not be so many worn
out, fagged-looking women II we
learned early the value Of that ounce
of prevention. With most of us pre-
vention is like thunder-it comes aft
er the danger is past. SO much or the
misery Of life is preventable that 1t
is pitiful how rarely the effort is
made. We lose our looks, break down
before our time, and either are snuffed
out altogether. or hang on creaking
hinges when we should be in the full
flush OF living. Most women act as II
they were fatalists-what must be,
must be. Then they grOan when the
inevitable occurs instead of living up
to the true fatalist spirit of stoicism.
Perhaps you are one of the persons
who never takes any rest. You look
on life as a race to be run, forgetting
that the strongest runner goes slow
until the finish. Have you the foolish
idea that TO stop a minute to read the
papers or to dip into a famous book
is stealing time that should be devoted
to husband or children? Are you char
liable to every one but yourself, and
look upon letting up in your mad pace
as Sinking.
Are you one of those misguided be-
ings who think monotonous plodding is
duty, and crush out young longings for
an occasional matinee or social outing
lest you fail in some chimerical duty?
If so. readjust things. Learn to look
on these things as that ounce of pre-
vention' without which smashups are
inevitable. 1t is continual Flooding
that not only makes life stale, but
brings wrinkles and narrow minds.
Do you ever stop to think what 4
breakdown means? How many of the
coveted pleasures or longed-for rests
could have been had for the doctors
hire? Occasional flight from the grind
IS better than skilled specialists to
keep one well. which is the sensible
modern woman's reading of that
ounce of prevention

To Keep Home Happy,

Learn to govern yourself.
Do not expect angelic qualities in
Jour helpmate.
Beware of the first disagreement
Also Of meddlers and tale-bearers.
Never rctort in anger. 1t is the an
swer which usually begins the quarrel.
Avoid moods and pets and fits of sui
kiness.
Never conceive a bad motive il a
good one be possible.
When the opportunity occurs for kind
speeches make them.
Do not neglect duties which affect
the comfort of others.
Remember that speech is excellent,
but silence is sometimes more valuable.
Be gentle but firm with children.
Do not furnish boys and girls with
too much pocket money; make them
understand the value of a dollar Do
not say anything in their presence
which you do not wish repeated. Be
ware of correcting them in an angry or
petulant manner. Never allow them to
stay away from home overnight with
out knowing where they are.

There Is rage now for cream
series OF nut brown.
Mousseline voiles will be faddish
this season and will be made into very
stylish evening robes.
Frocks may be buttoned down the
front as well as the back. Fashion
has suddenly become most liberal
minded in that respect.
Bridal dresses have been chiefly re-
markable during the last few months
for the marvellous laces with which
they have been trimmed.
The black sash, with bow and ends
at the side, is worn even with the sep
arate waist and skirt, although pre-
waist.

Color embroidery on white, black,
cream and ecru will be much used, as
well as white on color. Most of the
embroidery seen now in the shops is
machine made.
The separate waist and skirt has al
most disappeared from view. The one
piece princess dress is taking its place
This princess style means curves and
a waist again.
The long. tight skirt is giving way,
for walking purposes, to the short,
tight skirt, worn with a long and
much-braided coat, the whole costume
being often trimmed at hem and
wrists with fur.
Employed more for evening than
day wear are the deep, rich shades
The reason for this reversal of old
time custom is that these tints are so
successful in setting off a beautiful
neck and arms.

There is the new type. The dis
tinguished- looking men and women of
slight build. with small heads, hands
and feet, and with delicate features,
are seldom met with now. They are
being rapidly replaced by thick-set men
and women. with massive heads, huge
hands and feet, coarse-featured, and
having broad mouth with thick
lips. Is it that nature is providing
for the increased wear and tear of life.
or that circumstances are removing
those constructed on the old pattern?

DREW SHIP TO ITS DOOM.
Steel Steamship Wrecked on Mag.
netfc shore of Lapland,

netic shore of Lapland.
That the seacoast's magnetic influence
drew his stout ship to It's rugged iron
ribbed shore is the explanation OF Capt.
Kelale Of the wrecking of the British
steamer Sandal, which was lost on the
coast In question. and has made an
affidavit embodying the foregoing state
ment The affidavit is on file with the
Board Of Trade in England, says the
New York Evening Mail.
Not only does the commander Of the
Sandal attribute the loss of his vessel
wholly to the magnetic influence Of
Lapland. but Joseph Newmarch, first
mate of the wrecked vessel, swears TO
personal knowledge, gained by many
years experience In that region. of the
magnet-like qualities of the coast which
holds the bones OF the Sandal.
Loaded with timber. which she took
aboard at Archangel, in the White Sea,
Russia, the Sandal was bound to the
Tyne River, England. Capt. Keldie
said
IT am convinced that nothing could
have saved the Sandal. The particular
part Of Lapland where she struck 1
have since found composed Of iron and
other powerful magnetic ores. and /
am equally positive that the magnetic
attraction disturbed our compasses and
drewus steadily landward. The weather
was hazy at the time"
Mate Newmarch said that for an
hour before the ship struck 1t was i'm
possible to keep her on her course !;
that her head kept yawning In the d.
rection of the land, and that, In his
opinion, the stranding was caused by
the attraction OF the land.
