T'e young politician was obligirs

Fashion In Vogue In the Early Vie

70 years.
One of the most beautiful women
In London, and well known in the
social world, has just confessed that
her fiance proposed to her on his
knees.
The act was so gracefully done
that could not refuse him. she told
a friend
Other girl friends of mine have
told me of similar experiences. What
can possibly have influenced the young
man Of the present day to act in such
manner? Brusque, unconventional,
almost rude manners have hitherto
distinguished him. These gentle
courtesies and old-fashioned graces
make woman's life doubly happy.
hope every man will follow the ex-
ample of my fiance and otherwise Inn

A well-known expert on dramatic
art said she certainly agreed that
the manners of men were i'm
proving.
1T must be admitted" she contin.
ued, that there is room for improve
lnent. For several years past the
attitude of young men toward women
has been almost disrespectful. Only
few days ago had pleasant sur.
prise. A young man meeting me grace
fully kissed my hand He did 1t in
quiet, unostentatious way. as nicely
as II he had been gallant of cen.
fury ago.
Il have noticed similar signs of inn
provement among other young men,
in what one might call School for Scan
dali manners. In that play the gal.
lantry of the men toward the women
is an object lesson to all. A man who
proposes on his knees-a form of pro.
posal which is stated to be reviving-
is doing the natural thing. He is ask
ing great favor OF the lady--a favor
so great that unconsciously takes the
form Of prayer.
II have often heard 1t remarked
that stage proposals-where a man
falls on his knees before the wom-
an he loves-are not true to life. But
more men propose on their knees now
adays than people dream of. The
casual offhand proposals. which are
stated to be common. are dying out.
And Londoners so badly need a re-
turn of fine manners! 1t is not mere
ly the fault of the men. Women, by
competing with men and standing up
for their rights are liable to lose
their privileges and sanctity as
women"

Some Facts About Power.

Power is thu application of a force
to produce motion
The amount of work accomplished
is measured by the product of the
force in pounds and the distance of
the motion in feet.
The unit of work is therefore call
ed footpounds which is the force of
one pound acting through a distance
of one foot.
From this data this power can be
calculated because the unit of pow
er is the number of foot pounds of
work performed per minute. This
is quite a different proposition from
that of simply doing the work with
out regard to time. II shows how
a small force running very fast is
as powerful as a larger one running
slow. For most applications of
power the foot pound per minute is
too small unit for convenience
hence a larger one called horse-pow
er is used. The horsepower is the
performance of $4,000 foot pounds
of work per minute.
Just why this unit was called
horse power instead Of man power,
mule power. COW power, or cat pow
er was owing TO the circune. ances
at the time the int was originated
When the steam enSlde vas first
invented it was used in mining oper-
atoms in England. It there fore re-
placed horses for hCistin3 pumping
etc. 1t was natlr, | therefore that
the power Of the engine would be
spoken of as the amount equivalent
to a certain number OF horses. The
most powerful to these h)rses could
handle $4,000 pounds at this rate
for short period of operation and
Watt adopted the $4,000 foot pound
unit for power and power determine
ton.
This figure has been used ever
since for his engine.
The horsepower of an electric
motor may be measured in twJ
ways. By one method an instru-
ment called wattmeter is cut in
the service lines adjacent to the
motor to be tested which allows all
current consumed by the motor to
pass through and be registered by
the wattmeter. From this reg.stra-
ton the horsepower is computed
by dividing the result by 74o fl
the Horsepower or by 1900 for the
kilowatt consumption. The seconC
method Of securing the horsepower
of a motor is to attach a brake tC
the shaft OF pulley and absorb the
power directly transmitted This
method gives the power that the
motor viii actually deliver while
the former method irclades the
losses and fir cti0n Of the mot0c
