of ordinary females, the vocal chords be-
ing particularly unusual.
The only deficiency In the female voice
was that there were apparently some
small gaps in the middle OF the female
compass. From the middle g to the
notes were somephat hoarse and strained.
1t was concluded by the medical faculty
which considered the case that in con-
trast to other cases of female baritones
Casually due to temporary disturbance of
the female developmenD this was a case
of female actually born with a male
larynx. and that no operation would avail
as there was and Is every probability of
the baritone voice remaining There was
no evidence to show whether the young
woman would also retain ffSr clear So
prano compass. n
The only known comparison is in the
case of two youths who. having an urf-
natural construction of the larynx, re-
tain naturally their treble compass after
the voice has broken. But they In al
most all cases have Lost the baritone
voice altogether.

huge total of 100000 COO. On top of that
may be added more than 500, 900 from
the conversion of bonds into stock. There
is outstanding $lS,000,000 bonds converti-
BILE at 140 and s90,5o0.000 bonds converti-
BILE at 150 That would call for over
$50 900, 600 in the payment of dividends at
the rate of per cent. Every one point
advance in the dividend rate would then
require 100000 year. Indications are
that Pennsylvania will earn considerably
in excess of $3.50 900 net next year. 1t
1t not looked upon as likely that divi-
dends will be restored to per cent be-
fore the end of next year, however.
Replies to the statement often made
that there is no public in the stock mar
ket reveal the fact that the aggregate
business on the stock exchange for the
month of October was about 90 per cent
greater than during the corresponding
month of 1903. The total was q, 75S 900
shares The October sale of bonds was
also larger than for the same month last
year.
The very heavy increase in the importa-
ton of diamonds is taken as further to-
ken of restored prosperity. Additional
proof In that direction is not really need
ed. The fact Is none the less interesting
that we brought into this country dur
ing October diamonds of an appraised
value of IS, 900, as compared to s., 99S, 600
in October of last year. There has also
been big increase of late in the impor-
tation of the twin luxury automobiles, to
say nothing of champagne. The latter.
however, was rushed in to take advan-
taRe of the tariff law.

A Club for Dandy Dogs

There has Just been opened in ons

toilet club for dogs. Here the pets
of the smart set can have their hair
dressed and their coats trimmed to
immaculate perfection. For three
shillings they can be bathed. II
their teeth are imperfect they can
be st Opped or extracted, and If their
claws protrude too far they can be
daintily manicured. Thus groomed
according to the Mayfair mode, their
coats put on, and their goggles at.

Clean YSur Glasses,

You who wear spectacles must IN
derstand that you cannot see to ad-
vanage through greasy lenses. The
common habit Is to wipe eyeglasses
or spectacles with a silk handker-
chief carried in the pocket. The fin
ger tips always exude a delicate oil.
This gets on the handkerchief and
from the handkerchief goes on to the
lenses. Presently there IS a smear OF
grease and people complain of dim
ness Of vision. Drop the handker-
chief; get some very fine tissue
paper cut into small sections, wipe
your glasses with two or three pieces
and throw them away.

THE MARINERS COMPASS
Influences That Draw It From It's
Allegiance to the Magnetic Pole.

influences That Draw tt From ItS
Allegiance to the Magnetic Pole.
Nothing in the navigation equip
ment Of a ship has been the subject
Of more anxious scientific research
or receives more jealous care than
the mariners compass.
The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and
south is-well, more inaccurate than
even popular notions usually are. No
more unfavorable position could be
found for a compass than on board
of a modern steamship, which is e
complicated mass of steel, all tend
ing to draw the compass needle from
its allegiance to the magnetic pole OF
the earth, warning influences which
must needs be counteracted by all
sorts of devices which hedge round
the instrument by an invisible wall
Of conflicting currents of magnet
ism.
And as if this were not enough.
there are now huge dyamos to be
Feckoned with, producing electric
currents for all sorts of purposes on
board. In the midst of these mystic
currents the poor little compass
needle, upon which the mariner de-
pends for his guide across the track
less deep, hangs suspended like one
shrinking saint surrounded by leg
ions Of deViIs.-Windsor Magazine.

Wise Horses.

ductor went to Investigate, he found
them looking over the parapet.

QUEER ANCIENT CUSTOMS
Touching = Suicides Hand Was
Thought q Cure for Sickness,

Thought q Cure Tor Sickness.
In former times it was a common
notion that, if a sick person, could
only touch the hand of a suicide, he
or she would be cured.
This superstition was especially
common IN the west OF England; in
Cornwall. touching a suicides hand
vas said TO have once cured a young
man who had been afflicted with
many tumors from his birth. 4
similar superstition regarding the
touch of executed criminals has been
widely prevalent and has often been
recorded.
Robert Hunt, in his "Romances of
the West o. England" says that he
once saw a young woman led to the
scaftold at NeWgate to have g wen
touched by the hand of a man who
had Just been executed.
At NORTHAMPTON of old the hang
man is said 10 have had a regular
fee for according a similar "pTiVi-
lege" to the sufferers from like dis
orders. Even the coffin Of a suicide
may have curative value.
There Is a DeYonshire belief to
the effect that, If any one suffering
from disease can manage to throw
white handkerchief on such a coffin
at the time Of its interment, the
disease will vanish as the handker-
chief decays.
Much superstitious value has been
attached to the knots of the ropes
used either by a suicide or in the
execution of a criminal

Right Handed Men.

According to authorities from 85
to 95 per cent of the men in civilized
lands are right-handed and have de-

however, is no new phenomenon, for

The Speed of Steamships.

The immense advances recently
made in the power and speed of
transatlantic steamships have not
yet, in the opinion of Mr.. J. J. O'Neil,
a Scotch engineer, been carried to
the limit. Addressing the Institu-
ton of Engineers and Shipbuilders
in Scotland, Mr.. O'Neil said that the
lengths of the present liners warrant
the belief that greater power can be
obtained with the same dimensions,
the present speeds with shorter
lengths. Investigation shows that
the variations OF form involve reIa-
lively small gains, and Mr.. O'Neil
thinks that If the same attention had
been devoted to the development OF
of the screw propeller that has been
given to the form of vessels greater
advantages would have been secured.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Modern meth
DDS of cooking by electric juice" and
push buttons will be features of the
National Electrical Show installed in
| the Coliseum today and which will
continue in progress during the ball
ance of January.
The show will demonstrate that
breakfast these days, in the modern
home, is merely a matter Of pushing
the button. The latest of the break
fast utensils is the electric toaster.
This device is inexpensive and most
efficient The bread to be toasted Is
placed in vertical position on either
side of the heating element. By this
method the bread is not burned as 1t
is in horizontal toasters.
In the electrical show exhibits cleo
trical cooking will be demonstrated
to show that it is not only feasible
but practical and economical as well.
The electric oven will turn out brown
biscuit baked to perfection; the cof-
fee percolator shows what modern
methods can do for an ancient bever-
age.
A glimpse of the demonstrator pre-
pairing a meal on the electric stove
will, it is said, convince the most
skeptical that electric cooking is the
most up to date way There is no dirty
coal to handle, no flying ashes, no
SCOT and gases or other kitchen evils
Of that kind. A turn of switch and

We do the hardest thing on earth
that Is, we manage you!

We're as fitted for the ballot, sirs, as

So prove that you are gentlemen by
giving us our due,

Doesn't that convince you, Mister
Man, that women have a right-an in
alienable right--to the ballot? II II
doesn't, the suffragettes Of Chicago
have many more songs, and five of
them will be rendered at a suffrage
mass meeting to be held in Handel
hall tomorrow afternoon. A prize OF
500 Is offered for the best song ex-
pressing the hopes and the discon-
tent OF the suffragettes, and musical
eforts have been entered in the COM
petition by song writer's in every part
OF the country.
Brand Whitlock, mayor of Toledo,
and pronounced friend Of the suf-
frage movement, will deliver an ad-
dress at tomorrow's meeting. and there
will be such a feast of oratory and
song as the suffragettes of America
have never before known.
Work has begun on the gathering
Of Chicago names for the monster
suffrage petition which is to be sent
to congress on February Is, Susan B..
Anthony's birthday. The petition is
being compiled by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait and Mrs Florence Kelley
working from headquarters at the

The names, of which at least 2,0OO,-
900 are expected are to be attached to
an enormous strip of muslin and sent
