Car Strap Sanitation.

Individual car straps are the latest
in personal hygiene. A Cincinnati man
is the inventor Of this method Of pre-
venting the spread of disease by con-
tact. and his proposition has been laud-
ed by the health officer Of that city.
This device consists of a band Of leath-
err with q hook on one end and loop at
the other, which the seatless car rider
uses in lieu of the straps which the
company sometimes provides for stan
dees, from whom. it has been frequent
ly confessed, come the dividends. There
is a double advantage in the individual
car strap. In the first place it's user
can stand approximately where he
wishes in the aisle, and in the second
place he is guaranteed against pollu-
ton by the miscellaneous contributions
Of countless unwashed palms. The car
strap is not a particularly convenient
thing to carry about between car rides,
but perhaps the benefits to be derived
from it will overbalance the discomfort
Of it's transportation. Enterprising
manufacturers have an opportunity to
supply line of plain and fancy car
straps Of all lengths for all sizes OF
people. Perhaps the fashion will spread
and handsomely embroidered and silver
mounted straps will be In vogue for the
next holiday season.

That was disgrace. he said, and he

He and Mr.. Murphy now play golf to-
gether.-
Inc new chairman bears distinguished
name, and is rated at high figure both
as man and politician. John A. Dix
sounds the long roll, and wants every
democrat who refuses to respond to be
shot on the spot. Although picked for
the place by Mr.. Murphy he does not
subscribe to the reason given by Mr..
Murphy for the change. Instead Of be-
lifting, he compliments Mr.. Corners.
Listen: Il am succeeding a man whose
energy. tenacity, ability and activity have
set a pattern for all time. We want to
keep up the work'-that is, Mr.. Corners
work-"and pull together for success
Now, after this. is anything in the line
of reconciliation misunderstanding, peace
pipe smoking, and all that. impossible?
Nay. Let everybody in both parties take
hope. Much has been learned. and let
much be forgiven Mr.. Murphy and Mr.
Corners have shown the way. and long
procession in both parties of penitent
politicians with locked arms should fol-

And there was never the least prospect

Mr.. Hobart probably saw what so

The parloyings between the two govern

We are told that President Mckinley

He wanted peace. but Congress and the
country seemed bent on war. After go

Congress, and thus "forestall any action
by the Senate to declare war against

Reading a Woman's Mind.

| Hugo Munsterberg makes the claim
that by some psychological method he
can read a woman's mind. This is in
deed wonderful. The male part of the
population will have to be shown be-
fore giving credence to this remark
able claim and the more important part
of the population will scott at the great
discoverers conceit. This accomplish
ment of Mr.. Munsterberg would be
more prodigious than the invention of
wireless biography or the prevailing

/ MI. Munsterberg proposes to read
something which since the harvesting
| of the first apple has been illegible to
the profoundest scholars and unintelli-
gible to mere men. Reading the Ro-
setta stone. the bricks of Babylon and
the clay tablets Of Nineveh has been
considered child's play in comparison
with the achievement proclaimed by
| this savant.
| If Mr.. Munsterberg can really and
| truly read q woman's mind. what mo-
n1ents of ecstacy must be his. For
most men even the vain attempt to read
her eyes gives thrills, but what joy
can compare with the reading Of a
mind which so many churlish philoso-
piers have considered blank. Think OF
the charming secrets which Mr.. Nun
sterberg may pierce. Think of the de-
light of reading Utmost thoughts all
tangled and festooned with ribbons,
laces, mock flowers, willow plumes,
aigrettes ,and other dainty mysteries!
Think of the marvel of penetrating to
a womans honest thoughts about her
