EXTRA SESSION IN TEXAS.

In reconvening the Texas legislature
90 pass nccdful legislation for that
state. Governor Campbell says
"Your regular session Of sixty days
was expensive and OF little value to
the people. Not a single platform
demand was enacted into law; one
was defeated and YOU adjourned with
out even considering the appropria-
ton bill whereby the lobby applaudod.
and it o. not strange that YOU received
through the newspapers the felicita-
tons ot the chairman OF the Repub-
hcan executive committee Of this
state.'
The action OF the governor shows
what may be done if actual necessity
requires that the legislature do the
work for which IL was elected.
Our own recent Legislature failed
20 put through several measures asked
for by the people but they did not
fai TO the same extent as did the
lawmakers Of Texas This fact should
make some Of our citizens feel more
kindly toward the late legislature OF
Utah.

The erect carriage and 1.-THE, graceful mo-

cially likely TO impress the artistic observer

which gives, above all, the antique flavor
to his first Impressions.
Nowhere in the West Indies will one FIND
more attractive women than In Trinidad
where the Indian coolies have settled II
large numbers. There are several classes
Of Hindu women in TriEidad-the wives
and daughters OF the merchants, the wives
Of laborers, and the women who work In
the cocoa plantations and In the fields
as farm hands-but there is no difference
In their attractivcness They are all good
looking and many OF them are beautiful,
with the dark-eyed. mysterious fascinating
beauty peculiar 20 the orient. Very deli
cately formed are they, slender of figure,
with sloping shoulders, and round, graceful
and dimpled arms, and tEpering wrists and
fingers. The face Of the pure Indian is
oval and c%harmingly a%quiline, and it is
also singularly charming in expression
a feature which seems to have been ac-
quired under the Influence of the climate
and environment of the British island.
A great deal of jewelry is worn by the
coolie woman. Solid bracelets Of gold or
copper reaching from wrist to elbow and
elbow to shoulder are not unusual. Heavy
necklaces of silver or gold, some of them
Weighing several pounds, are hung around
their necks; and heavy anklets are worn
around their ankles. which look too deli
cate to sustain the weight of the crude
ornaments. Toe rings, rings for the ears
and nose and for each finger and the
thumbs and an elaborate headdress form
a part Of the holiday dress. The entire
stock of an Indian jewcler is sometimes
worn by his pretty wife and children.

Occasionally one sees a white shoe with
black patent leather trimmings, and there
are striking white shoes with heels and
buckles or heels and laoings Of color, but
while such a shoe may be worked into a
costume color scheme attractively. bizarre
footwear. as we have intimated, is seldom
taken up enthusiastically by the extremely
fastidious. and If worn at all is reserved
for house or evening use.

much less popular for house wear than 1t

and slippers must match the costume OBJ

but It still has a front place in the ranks
of fashionable shoe feathers, and the soft.

original patent leather.

Very pretty slippers In these feathers are
to be found in white and whenever a white
slipper is admissible they may be pressed
into service; but even In this day of won
derful leather dyeing, It is not possible to
match light hues perfectly IN leather, and
only the satin slipper can meet the re-
quirements.
For a dressy house slipper not INTENDED
to match any one frock, the bronze slipper
has to q considerable extent supplanted
the once regnant patent leather and gray
suede is well liked for this purpose.
Beaded toes and straps - the beading
matching the leather in color, are still
worn, and in the bronze are often effee-
tive.
Silk ribbon ties with fine cord running
lengthwise of the ribbon is the chic tie for
the low shoe and wears well.
The new shoe trees with solid toe, bal

warning Aeninst race Powders.

A forcoful warning against so-called
preserving powders has been issued by
the Department of Agriculture, especially
directed to housewives.
These powders are generally composed
of powerful chemical preservatives, such
as benzoate Of soda, boraclc acid, borax,
formaldehyde, etc. The department has
been waging relentless wal on all such
p~reservatives for years, and while three
secretaries of the cabinet In the last
month of the late administration ruled
that packers of food and food products
could use benzoate of soda In unlimited
quantities, the Department of Agriculture
is not prepared to give similar advice to
the housewives. On the contrary, the bull
letin issued by the department says:
There are a great many brands OF So
called preserving powders on the mar
ket. They are sold not only under adver-
tised trade names, but by druggists and
peddlers everywhere. In the directions
for use the housewife is told to fill the
jar with the fruit or vegetable to be
canned, to cover with water and to add a
teaspoonful OF the powder.
1T is true that these powders may pre-
vent the decay of the fruit or vegetable,

Dear girl. II It is your portion to go out

keeper, make your work yield you a rich

for you or for anyone else. II comes after
you have worked and brought knowledge
and skill into your work. Interest yourself
In every detail even though your individual

amples Of ambitious and energetic and
resourceful women making q new field

at one time and another, and women who
have started to raise flowers and chick

ing bulbs for market with great success.
This Is a mere beginning OF the list Of
things women may do and which COM

previous to that time, he rot only en-
countered a ponitentiary sentence, but
found himself overwhelmed with an indebt-
edness Of 100000. This is a good deal of
money to be owed by a man who has
none at all, relates the st. Louis Times.
Morse has testified that he hasn't a penny.
Nevertheless, through the Efforts Of his
wife. who disposed not only OF all her
realty and ordinary personal property, but
also of the last gem In her wonderful
collection OF Jewels, this s7,OOl,OOO has been

will be able to pay off the trifling S2.OOn.OOo
he stll owes to his creditors. Perhaps he
would quickly be able TO DO 80, for In his

asset worth many millions.
When she was asked II she had sold all

a and issued by the National Blu
IA reau Of Labor gives, an In
N structive insight into the con-
ditions under which women
SR2 and children work for wages in
Great Britain. Although various laws for
the betterment Of their condition have been
enacted from time to time since 1902. they
have not reached the advanced pos,t,on
prevalent In most states Of the union he
cause parliament is not as responsive TO
public sentiment as the American congress
and state legislatures. Working hours for
women are limited by law at 55n hours n
week. A child u years old can work in a
factory or workshop, or in q mine above
ground under certain conditions as to good
health and school attachments. In textile
factories work may begin at 6 or 7 a. m.
provided that no more than 55h hours con-
stitute a weeks work. In other factories.
work can go on from S a. m. I'll u. m.
provided not more tina co hours constitute
a week; two hours In textile factories and
one and one-half hours in other factories
being allowed for meals. Overtime FOR
children is scarcely known, but women can
be worked I'LL 10 p. m, but not more than
two hours extra each day, nor more than
three days in any week, nor more than
thirty days In a year. In establishment
where dangerous trades or processes are
carried on special restrictions may also be
ordered by the home secretary. SO multi
l~farious are these regulations that the
safety Of women Is practically assured.
Employment In mines and on railways is
regulated by special enactment, and there
are also laws governing employment in
stores and shops.
Laws controlling conditions OF work in
Great Britain are governed by four groups
or Inspectors, each with distinct features
OF Jurisdiction, and the factory inspector
has power TO summon the police in the on
forcement Of the law. Altogether there are
200 factory inspectors. including office
staffs, who have under scrutiny $500 900
employees and over $50, 900 factories and
workshops. In addition there are 1000 GER
Trying surgeons, these surgeons receiving
a fee from the employer for each prospec-
tive worker examined. Most OF the male
factory inspectors have a practical knowl-
edge of manufacturing. while the female
Inspectors are drawn from the ranks OF
Bocial workers. In addition the govern.
mont employs special expert inspectors fol-
textile industries, electrical machinery and
dangerous trades, with a medical examiner
There is only voluntary cooperation be-
tween the trade unions and the inspectors
but the labor party usually interests Itself
in seeing that the factory laws are prop.
erly administered.
