what is a HummerS

II q stylishly gowned girl passes you and
some friend says, There goes a hummerr'
do not think he is using the vernacular Of
the day-he isn't. He means Il literally.
The latest fad Is humming. II Is endorsed
by physicians as being a pleasing pastime
which develops the lungs and teaches one
to breathe properly. AS the lips are closed
when humming, the air is breathed through
the nostrils rather than the mouth. A girl
who was heard singing on the street would
be considered a curiosity, but the girl h
huns softly to herself is a pleasing object.
AS she trips along she keeps lime with the
motif, and her step u quick or slow ac-
cordingly. She inspires a feeling Of "Alrs
we'll with the world" Also of health. And
it Is claimed her ability to hum proves she
is in good physical condition.
h days when she fancies she is par
ticularly beset with cares or worries she
should indulge even more freely. Her real
or imaginary ills are sure to take flight
after a brisk walk during which time she
has hummed herself back into a state of
quiet and content. One advantage hum
ming has over singing is this, that while
every girl cannot sing, all may hum A
voice that In singing CRATES on the ear,
when hummlnE is resorted to sounds POSI-
lively sweet. II men whistle their feelings
on the street, why should there be any
Lack Of decorum in a girls humming hers?

Dolly Madison was famous for her
beauty, grace, and social charm, relates the
baltimore Sun, but she has never been
given due credit for her greatest achieve
ment-the invention OF ice cream. For the
chroniclers tell us that she was the first
to serve this national d~elicacy. The wife
of the president must have been a wonder
ful woman, gifted in everything from
diplomacy to cooking.
The men have long suspected tina
some woman invented both ice cream
and matrimony, for men for generations
have been inveigled into both. Let a boy
and a girl go out walking just anywhere,
and suddenly the boy will find himself
face to face with e soda fountain or an
ice cream parlor. It's just like a man
who starts along counting almlessly who

Fuller in ~scribner's. He was amazed to
learn, when Maeaulay, as usual, began to
hold the attention Of the whole table, that
this was the famous historian and essay

Macaulay was too much inclined to monop-
ollze the conversation. oh. horridl hor-

he was asked what kind of night he had
passed.; II dreamt I was chained to q

Martineau and Macaulay." And on an
other occasion Smith called him "a book
In breecheS." It Is not difficult to under
stand that, II one were not interested In
the subject. Macaulay, for all his brill
liancy, might have been a bore. One may
gather from his writings that he had great
confidence In his own opinions n little
regard for the opinions OF others. Still,
there were occasional flashes OF silence
No man Is always in the mood. II would
not be fair, moreover, to dwell too ex-

hard to forget or forgive a slight. But he
was very generous with his friends. very
tender and affectionats with his closest
kin. Once he cared for a person he trusted

His faults says his nephew and blog-

Women workers versus Men.

W0ANA WSEAGEn NGNaAA mGks
A few days ago the women ticket agents
on the elevated loops In Chicago refused to
accept an increase In pay. The advance
offered by the company was 5 cents q day,
and this was rejected. not because it was
too little, but because It was too much.
The women ticket agents learned In a
recent conference with the officers Of the
Union Elevated Loop company that when
their wages were raised to 81 n day the
services of women as agents would be dis
pensed with and men would be employed
exclusively. Since that announcement.
made, It Is said, by Charles A. Knight,
president OF the company. the women look
upon all efforts to increase their wages as
those Of Greeks bringing gifts to their UNI
doing. Their wages are already near the
LANCER line, and not wishing to decapitats
themselves, they sternly vote down all pro-
posals Of Increase.
'"The incident has something Of a quix-
otto suggestion" m the New York
World, but II the facts are as represented
they throw considerable light on the ques-
ton Of the modern rivalry between men
and women workers. 1t has sometimes
been denied that women worker have seri-
ously complicated the wage question, but
the Chicago Incident seems. conclusive on
that point. Women have become in many
occupations formidable rivals OF men and
the bearing of this rivalry on the wage
question Is obvious. Were the army of
women workers in the continental United
States, which, according to a census bulle-
tin, in 1907, numbered ass, $50, suddenly re-
manded to the sphere of home and do
nestle duties, there would be a prompt de-
mand for men workers at greatly increased
wages. II would no longer be so difficult
for the man to acquire g competence. or al
least to command a wage which would
make marriage possible for a prudent
man much sooner than Is the case today
The world. in short. would revert as re-
cards the relation Of the sexes. to condt
tons similar to those before the modern
business woman emerged from the seelusior
of the home to become mans rival In th'
workshop, the business office. the factory
and elsewhere
Would such a reversion be beneficial'
Perhaps; but It is scarcely worth discus
sion. For good or Ill, women have arrived
as workers. and to dam uh Mississippi
would be an easier task than to turn bacl
the current Of modern civilization, which
Is carrying woman on TO q destiny new
