SOME MARRIED MEDITATIoNS.
By Clarence L. Cullen
~@ON~~N~~~

Doesn't that new sweep style oi coiffure which women are adopting look like a mess of sea weed cast uI on the beach?
 Another way of being In bad Is when your wife announces that she's sick and tired of housekeeping just about two days after you've made the final payment on the installment furniture.
 Some women's idea of being really loved" by a husband is to have him grab her photograph and plant an ec- static kiss on 1t every time he passes by the mantelpiece on which the pic ture rests.
 Some runaway wives are so used to having their spineless husbands come sailing after them that they uol't even have to consult the time tables to figure out the trains on which they'll arrive.
 By the time good fellow" girl be- gins to notice that her men friends lift their hats to her In a perfunctory sort of way, as If they'd just as lief forget to lift 'em as not. she's begin. ming to be passee.
 Some women's idea of cheering their husbands up after they've endured a hard wallop Is to squeak: Well. I told you you'd regret it if you didn't take my advicel now. didn't I? An swer me, didn't I?"
 Why Is 1t that the woman who. after spats, always is packing up to leave" her husband forever" infallibly be- gins the packing by wrapping the 9S- cent kitchen clock in a Turkish towel and tossing 1t into her trunk?
 Did yor ever sit behind a woman at the theater who waited until the cur tain was actually rising before she re- moved her hat, and who. after remov ing 1t, shot you would-be whitening look. so much as to say: Well. I've staked you to a measly twenty minutes of stewing. haven't I?"

 She ushered us into a long room lighted at the sides with oil lamps. while from the roof hung a diamond shaped frame on which were stuck l gltttering candles. All round, rising J in tiers nearly to the roof, ran rough wooden benches, on which lolled and in some cases lay, the most extraor dinary assortment of humanity; great hulking Jews, red-faced bargees, dap per-looking men in cloth caps. with the appearance of pickpockets-all the types which one meets in an expedi ton through Whitechapel were repre- sented in fact.
 The sport had already begun; an enormous brindle bulldog was tearing the life out of a white one to an ac. compartment of shrieks and oaths We settled ourselves where we were least noticeable, while refreshments were brought round in the shape of jellied cells, weird and loathsome connections in tin canisters, baked potatoes and fried oddments of penetrating odor. dirty-faced man stepped into the arena.

use of lead to fill defects in the mill stones.
 The distinctive symptoms of chronic lead-poisoning are Arrangement of the digestion, lassitude, aching of the muscles, and dull abdominal pains, or severe collie of peculiarly agonizing character. In most cases there is a narrow indigo-blue line in the gums close to the margin. The sufferer loses flesh rapidly, his skin becomes sallow. and in the worst cases the nervous system becomes affected.
 Such violent evidences of brain-pois- oning as oonvulsions or acute mania are less frequently produced than the form or paraJys's known as wrist drop," in which the hands droop from loss of power to extend the wrists and fingers.
 In the treatment of chronic cases. physicians generally administer laxa- tives, which form insoluble com pounds with the lead that remains In the intestines and remove 1t; and later they endeavor, by the use of oth- CT remedies. to dissolve and remove any of the poison that has been depos- tied in the tissues. Special treatment by massage. electricity and exercise Is generally required for the relief of the paralysis.
 Water that has stood overnight in new pipes should never be used for drink or in cooking. The mineral matter in ordinary drinking water forms an insoluble coating on the in. terior of water pipes in the course of few weeks, however, and thus pre- vents future contamination
 Lead pipes should not be used in cisterns. for rain water Is devoid of mineral matter.

BEGGAR's BAIT PROBLEM.

Is Is Wise for 1Iendicant to Leave Few or Many Pennies in HatF
 "One thing that I've never been able isfaction,' said street beggar whose speciality is sitting on a step and hold ing out his hat to passersby, according to the Charleston (S. e. News and Observer, lis the question of how many pennies it is wise to have In the hat for people to see as they go by. Of course, you understand, there are two theories in this; working on one, you leave there only a few, just three or four pennies scattered around ir- regularly but pretty far apart, and on the other you leave in the hat a lot of pennies.
 "Of course the idea of the first plan is to make people when they see how little you've got want to chip in and help, and the idea of the other plan Is to stir people up to generosity by showing them how generous others have been, and there's a heap to be said for that There's lots of people that give because othor people have, because they like to go with the crowd.
 I've tried both >lans and had good days with a lean bait and bad days with a full bait in the hat, and then I've had good days with a full bait and bad days with lean bait. All you can do Is If one plan doesn't work well. try the other; you never can tell %

 In such cases the nature of the ill., ness Is immediately recognizable. as a rulo. for the attack Is always expected. Rut some persons are so sensitive to the action of lead that poisoning oc- casionally originates in seemingly the most unaccountable manner.
 Sometimes it follows such obscure accidents as the drinking of water or other beverage that has passed through new lead pipes. or that has been stored in casks lined with lead; the eating of food that has been cooked in lead-enameled vessels. or the use of cosmetics containing the metal. It has resulted also from the wearing of artificial teeth in the manufacture of which lead has been wrongfully used. and even from the repeated bit ing of lead-dyed silk thread. In few instances. too. lead pigments have been used to improve the color of food prep arations, and large quantities of flour have haen rendered poisonous by the

soRoRITIEs AT ANN ARBoR.

Tea Societies Have Homes That
 Take Place of Residence Halls.
 At the University of Michigan, where there are no halls of residence for the women of the institution, ten different sororities succeed in solving the problem of how to house satis- factorily and chaperon properly about 200 young women students, fully one fourth of the total number of coeds at Michigan, a Detroit Free Press Ann Arbor correspondent says.
 There is something indescribably satisfactory to the average college woman in wearing one of those little Greek letter pins that mean so little 70 the great outside world-the busy, hustling, jostling, everyday world but which mean so very, very much to the few entitled to wear them. At Michigan the sororities fill the places, to a great extent, of the traditions of the eastern schools for girls, schools established before the birth of the grandmother of the coed of to-day.

There has been a great change In the fraternities and sororities at Michigan in the last few years. and both are beginning to be looked to as a means for promoting good scholar ship and not as a hiding and shelter ing place for some of the poorest stu dents, who managed to get through college simply because they were boosted and coached day in and day put by the better students in that fraternity.
 Until such time as the regents of the university find it within their province and power to erect residence halls for the women the homes offered to a certain number of coeds in the ten sorority houses will have to solve share of the problem of suitably housing the girls.

 It is the spirit of Washington and Lincoln, the true American spirit in its finest manifestation, in which pr. Steiner believes. He has faith that this spirit can take the crowding alien host and breathe into it the life of a nobler manhood and womanhood; that the immigrant will become in the next generation, if not in this what soever America wills that he may be come.

In 1907, the year of the financial de- pressi9n, the tide of immigration from Southern and Southeastern Europe had attained such strength and vol
 ume that almost every editorial writer in the country felt called upon, more or less often, to dilate upon what this influx of strange peoples would mean not only to themselves but to the re- public. From Italy and Austria-Hun- gary the protest was especially loud, for stern figures showed that during the year Austria-Hungary had lost by immigration to the United States 3S8.- 452 or its people, while Italy was re- duced by more than a quarter of a million.
 This remarkable movement from the home soil could not pass unnoted. for every phase of human relation was af- fected by It. The landowner felt 1t most of all, for the men who left were his laborers. Their passing reduced his supply of available labor. increas- ed the wages of those who were left and altered their servile attitude to OAO app AA0OPCA0OANOB cO Ao naturally enough cried out against emigration. declaring that America was robbing the European nations of their strongest, leaving the aged. the women and the children.

But even before these laws had a chance to dam the westward tide the industrial de pression prevailing in thls country In the winter of 1907-S had turned It eastward With the advent of hard times." with the closing of mills and mines and the lessening of railroad construction, many of the recently ar rived immigrants who had been per forming the coarser, cruder tasks re.S quired by the industrial development of the country returned to their native lands.
 Among those who have watched the ebb and flow of this immigrant tide, and who many times has made him self a part of it so he might better understand Its meaning. is pr. Edward A. Steiner, professor of applied Chris tianity in Grinnell College. Iowa. and author of "On the Trail of the Immi- grant" The Mediator" and 'Tolstoy. the Man and His Message"
 Dr. Steiner Is in no sense of the word statistician, though in his book are a few tables showing the increase and decrease of immigration from European countries. He is too intense ly interested in his fellow man. too keenly alive to his humanity, to re- duce him to arithmetical terms.

Seeing the Elephant.

Seventy years ago menageries were rare visitors in the New England rural towns, and news of their coming war .heralded by great excitement, not alone among the young people, but among the older ones as well. An amusing incident is related by local historian of the passing of a circus through a small town.
 No one in the little village had ever seen an elephant, and when it was re- ported that circus troupe, accompa- nied by an elephant, was to pass through the town, nothing else was talked Of
 Sunday in those times was strictly observed; everybody went to church. It was not known just when the circus would appear. It had been expected on Saturday, but had not appeared. and no one looked for it on Sunday. since travelling was rarely undertaken and usually suspended on that day.
 In the midst of Parson Adams long sermon, Doctor Dobson, the dignified village physician, who carried him. self so erect that he was said to lean backward. glanced from the window. Down the road he saw a cloud of dust. and through 1t he discerned the figure of an elephant.
 Doctor Dobson forgot where he was. and springing to his feet. exclaimed. The elephants coming! There he isl" and the next moment was run ming from the church.
 There was an eager craning necks. followed by a general stamper of the major part of the congregation through the church door to see the ele- phant.
 Whether Parson Adams ever com pleted his interrupted sermon history does not state. The sentiment of the people seemed to be that "Parson Ad- ans can be heard any time, but an elephant can be seen but once in lifetime
