The casket was smcthered with
flowers within the modest home where
the tragedy occurred but 50 grea;

lof her narrow window afforded her
just glimpse of the black hearse

along. Her face was drawn, her eyes
red and she seemed TO have agc1

Knew Ways of World.

The days testimony against the
Gingles girl was almost in the nature
of an avalanche of accusations and
impeachment The state brought
three witnesses from Canada, men of
repute who had known the defen1-
ant while she was a resident there.
Through these men i, was brought IL
to the record of the case that Ella
Gingles was not a. pure and innocent
country girl, but that she knew well
the ways of men Of the world. A Ca
madam photographer told how Miss
Gingles came to him, giving the name
of Miss Wilson. and asked him 10
take a picture of her in a lace gown.
The gown was owned by her employ
er's wife. Mrs. Thornton. OF Belle
Vile. Ont
Miss Gingles in her testimony flatly
denied that she had this picture TAX
en-. and declared that it was repro
duction OF a photograph taken in Ire
land. Mr.. Thornton was another Ca
madam witness and told a story rather
unfavorable TO Miss Gingles
The sur-rebuttal of the defense
brought out little of importance.

SAFEST SPOT.
More Danger at Home Than on Rall'

From the Worlds Work.
 Probably the majority of people, If asked what they considered to be the safest spot for them to be in. would reply. Tn bed or in an armchair by the side of a fire" But they are quite mistaken. The risk of injury is much greater than if one was traYellng py ship or rail.
 The curious fact is mentioned that, ac- cordng to statistics, 50 per cent of acci- dents happen while the victims are at home or in the street, the explanation being that a man when going a journey OF entering upon hazardous undertak- ing exercises special care thus escaping injliry, but while at home or taking ex- ercise vigilance is relaxed, familiarity with common dangers breeding contempt.
 Probably the safest place on land or sea Is the deck or cabin of a first-class ocean liner A first-class railway car riage is also an exceptionally safe place. This is so clearly recognized that acci- dent insurance companies can afford to double the compensation when accidents occur on railways or tramcars. Certain companies will insure commercial trav- elers at premiums appreeiably lower than those charged by general accident in- surance companies
 man may undertake journey around the world with a comparatively light heart But extreme care and vigilance are needed should he venture to. hang his pictures or walk down his own stairs The perils of the streets in London and our big cities are, of course. so well known that there is no need to comment thereon Most people imagine that they must be fairly safe in bed Yet acci- dents happen even there. Not long ago a wealthy man was seriously injured by being burned by hot water bottle after iie had retired to rest. The moral Is, of course, that whether a man He, sit, walk. drive or engage in any occupation or sport he is always exposed to the risk of accident and should take his precautions nccordinr1V.

Why Not Prehistoric Pottery:

 Mary Heaton Worse answers this ques-

 cess Magazine.
 There are few womens clubs which do not have classes with subjects such as '"The Beheading of John as Pivotal Point of History or which can not find a number of women ready to put in a hard winters work on the study of pre- historic pottery. A woman interested in the club movement of America once ques- toned a club president:
 But why prehistoric poetteryT'
 Why not prehistoric pottery:" return the president
 woman who had battled to have the club take an active part in the life of its city gave reasons why not prehistoric pottery:"
 Study is good thing" she said, "but the woman who wN1ld neglect her children and let her house go untidy for the study of prehistoric pottery and Elizabethan drama would not be respected in her community, and since the Woman's club avows its purpose to be sweetness and light, why should it not be judged by as severe a standard as we judge the individual?' It Is hard to believe that the heart of woman naturally yearns for knowledge of the Prehistoric Pueblo Indians or that 1t twines around subjects like Classic and Proportionate Sizes and Measurements"

hands in their perfect modelling were the despair of sculptors.'
 Such was the Countess Castiglione when she stood on the threshold of wo- manhood, the most peerless of her sex, not only in Italy, but in all Europe; and her personal charm and intelligence were at least equal to her physical perfec- ton. Wife though she now was, she was constantly surrounded by lovers, in- cluding King Victor Emmanuel himself, the most indefatigable of them all, to whom she dispensed her smiles and fav- ors with a charming abandon, which drove her husband to distraction. She was a born queen of hearts, and right royalty she played the role.

Rats Eat Up sioo,ooo,ooo Yearly.


 One of the most serious problems the department of agriculture has had to meet is the ridding the country of the millions of rats with which 1t is in- Tested, and which are especially the foes of the farmer. It is estimated that the rat pest costs the United States $100,- 0Oo GOO yearly in grain destroyed alone. The rat also pollutes great quantity of food products which 1t does not eat, does great damage by digging under buildings and embankments, gnawing wood, cutting up goods and papers to make nests, killing poultry. and steal ing eggs. The most destructive species is the Norway rat, which has been car ried to all parts of the world on ships. It is calculated that a single pair of rats would, in three years, under favoring circumstances, increase to 20,000,000. The department of agriculture has planned @ vigorous crusade against the vermin and it recommends rat proof construc- ton in buildings, better protection of food supplies and the use of various poisons in localities haunted by rats.
