Women'S Clothing.
,m the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
DR.. Haig Ferguson In a lecture at the
Edinburgh Royal Infirmary the other
day had some severe things to say about
the clothing Of the adult woman. 1t was
hampered by fashion and superstition and
nothing could be a greater tribute to the
strong nerves and powerful muscles of
women than the fact that their health
had survived for centuries their habits of
clothing.
A womans clothing was the despair
of the hygienist. Children and girls were
more sensibly clad. but when girls grew
up they were often clothed in a way
which made them unable to walk, run
or breathe. Weighty skirts, low necked
gowns. pneumonia blouses." the modern
hat. the high-heeled shoe with it's pointed
toe, were all condemned. But then wom-
en- will have ii so and SO it will re-
main.

EFFECTS OF SUNLIGHT.
It Cures Some Diseases, Causes 9th

Sunlight increases the oxygen-carrying
capacity Of the blood, increases the excre-
ton of carbonic oxide and the shorter
light waves seem to cause a beneficial
stimulation in the young of many Of the
lower or higher animals as shown by bet
ter development. The idea is growing
that though mans protoplasm can func-
ton without this stimulation yet he is
better off If he has it and thus reaches
his highest vigor and efficiency.
The stimulation of strong sunlight has
been frequently mentioned by literary
men of genius, for with rare exceptions
they have very sensitive nervous tissue
in which the results would be most no.

sluggish metabolism, an excellent rem

chemistry who are benefited by the slower
heat rays of hot springs. spas etc.
A doctor reports a cure Of tubercular
peritonitis in child of nine by the use
Of condensed rays of the sun. An Iowa
physician Is having marked success in
treating tuberculosis of the lungs, larynx,

this method the glass stops most OF the
ultra violet rays if not all. He shows
that the light penetrates the body and
kills bacteria or inhibits them, so that
the increased vitality brought about by
forced nutrition and other means dis

He shows that the light is a stimulant,
is absorbed by the cells and causes def

Norway's Simple King.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harpers Bazsr.
The Scandinavian is distinguished by a
certain simplicity of bearing far exceed
ing that OF the more sophisticated Eng
disappearing world and certainly the
people of Sweden display rather more
OF the great world manner than the
Norwegians. Indeed. the western side
of the peninsula is comparatively rural,
and the young king, seated upon a little
throne, is more like the president OF a
rustic democracy than crowned mon
arch, so at one is he with the common
people. 1t is like playing at royalty. and
one almost feels that he might at any
moment tilt his crown a bit askew and
wink his eye. A pretty little anecdote
met US in Christiania lately. 1t seems
that a quiet tailor made little lady went
into one of the shops one day and bought
a pair of shoes. and when the sales
woman asked her address. she replied
You need not deliver them. Just have
them wrapped, if YOU please. My hus-
band will meet me here and he will carry
them" And in a moment, his majesty
the king came In. took the queens parcel
and they walked out together as if they
had never heard Of the crown of Nor
way.

The Origin of the Yam.
The New York Tribune,


The Motuans of New Guinea have a
curious story about the origin of vans.
They think that yams first grew from
bones. This was how it happened A
Motuan girl who had five brothers mar
ried a cannibal who lived some dis
lance away. The brothers came by
turns to visit her and four of them were
eaten by the cannibal husband. The wife,
however, kept their bones, and when the
fifth brother came, instead of being eaten
like the others, he succeeded in killing
the cannibal husband and returned to his
home with the bones of his brothers. The
bones were duly mourned over and
buried When the relatives visited the
place where the bones were buried some
time later they found strange plant
growing upon the grave, and on dig
cling up the bones found they had
turned into yams of different colors
and sizes.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The local market was strong in spots
at the meeting today of the stock ex-
change. and in the upward tendency OF
prices over a portion of the list resem-
bled the New York market, where, gem
orally speaking the situation was report
ed to be stronger.
A notable feature was the Selling in the
bond list. where Capital Traction . per
cent bonds sold in one and in i've
thousand dollar lotss at 10. There were
only three of the latter lots disposed OF
and there was only one. buyer, so that the
trading was not general. Still the trans
actions reached unusual proportions for
recent days, as they aggregated $4,000.
The trading in the 5 per cent ConSon-
dated bonds of the Potomac Power Com
pany was more general. as there were
several buyers. although the bonds came
from one source. The seller disposed OF
large part of what he had at 10lts and
the balance at 1O1.
The traction stocks attracted more at
tention than for several days, and the
downward course they have been pursu-
ing was checked somewhat. This was
not so noticeable in the case of the Cap
ital Traction stock as with the others.
Broken lots of the former stock were IN
demand rather than quotation lots. For
the former 1888 and $50 were bid. and
after call a couple of such lots sold for
Lou. lie StOCh was ioi Scic ct i''o anu
1913 was bid.
There We're several bidders for Wash
mgton Railway common. which has of
late been rather rapidly seeking lower
levels. Today, however, the buying APP
peared to be better than the selling and
in consequence the figures were sitter
and an advance was recorded. A couple
of odd lots sold for 3:;s4 and a quotation
lot of twenty-five shares was taken at
33A The bid was then 1914 and the
asking price 81, while Saturday the bid
was 321s.
Besides an advance in the bid for the
Washington Railway preferred stock of

was done in that stock. The asking price
was S71a at the close.

shares OF gas stock in twenty-five-share
lots, paying throughout 71&. The buyer
then bid 715s, but the lowest offering was

were 7Oa4 bid and 721a asked.
Some of the stock of the Bank of
Washington was for sale and a buyer was
found for it to the extent OF twenty-five
shares at 300. The stock continued to
be offered at that level, while the bid for
it was 300 and then half point less.

Rural Delivery in the South.


Throughout the mountain districts Of
the south the mail is carried on horse
back. The pouch is about five feet long.
divided in two sections and opens in the
middle. Half the mail is put in each
side of the sack and in this way it is
carried on the horses back. In the rough
mountain sections the work is anything
but easy. Where there are no roads it
is hard to work, riding through storms,
fording streams, climbing steep and
rocky trails with almost perpendicular
cliffs above and below. One misstep
means death to horse and rider on the
rocks below. The postmaster is notified
to have the mail ready by the footing OF
the horn which every mail carrier car
ries. He blows the horn before he gets
to the post office as signal to be ready
for him, so that there will be no delay in
making his trip on time.

Color Blindness.
From the Strand.

Most women have the impression that
they have a better eye for color, as they
call 1T. than their male relatives. There
is a foundation. in fact. for this, as the
percentage of color blind women is very
much smaller than of men. Men seem to
vary much more than women. While
red-green blindness, which Is common
among men, is comparatively rare in
women, the slighter varieties are quite
common.
1t is obvious that If a woman cannot
see the difference in colors which is so
striking to other persons, she will be
unable to arrange colors so that they
can be effectively contrasted. Many Of
the curious combinations which we see
may be due, not to bad taste. but to
color blindness. A we'll known authoress
could not distinguish between the color
of the leaves in October. when they were
orange. russell and brown. and those OF
early spring. when they were yellow and
bright green.

Pipe and Germs.
rom the Philadelphia Record


Sticklers for hygiene will be pleased TO
hear of the latest dictum Of medical as
sociations in the eastern cities as to the
germ susceptibility OF smokers pipe.
The bit OF pipe is every bit as niue,
of a germ magnet as a moistened cigar
end OF a cigarette. Doctors have warned
smokers for years against using public
cigar clippers and against laying down
a partly smoked cigar or cigarette on the
edge of a desk. table or window sill.
Recently the ban has also been placed
on pipes Don't lay a pipe down either
saws the medical highbrows, particularly
if it has curved stem. pipe will not
stay put but will roll little TO re-
adjust itself unless II Is laid down with
the greatest care. The va-moistened
bit could pick up a few odd million
microbes just as easily as not" And SO.
1t would seem that the only safe way
to lay down pipe. except in a rack. II
not to lay it down at all.

Abandonment of the Child.

Miss Wilson. as the mother was known
in the hospital, was admitted to the ma
ternity ward May 26. and four days later
the baby was born. The young woman
said she was to be met at the depot by
relatives but when she reached there
she was disappointed. She was without
funds. and her sobbing attracted the at
tention of Baltimorean, who advanced
her money enough to pay her car fare.
The conductor of the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis line, who was in
charge Of the car in which he young
woman came from Baltimore Tuesday
night says she alighted at New York ave-
nue. and 14th street. 1t is certain that she
went from there to the park without de-
lay, the police having learned that
young woman carrying an infant was
seen to enter the park about 8 O'Clock,
less than one hour after the arrival Of
the car from Baltimore. A clerk in the
employ OF the health department was
seated in the park with his wife that
night. They heard the walls of the wait,
but there were SO many children playing
there at that time that they paid no at
tention to the sounds.
