WOMAN SHERIFF
 CHARMS BAD MEN
Peoria. ILL, Deputy Is Young aud Pretty and DesperadOes Like
 To Be Chased.

St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 25.-Des- peradoes in Peoria county, H., like to have the deputy sheriff on their trail. For, they argue, not every body can have pretty vivaciods young woman run after them.
 The deputy sheriff of Peoria coun- ty is Winsome young woman of say p summers. At present she is taking a vacation at the home of her parents, MT. and Mrs. E. J. Adams, No. 430 Foulds avenue, AL ton
 Miss Lillian Adams has an arsenal of pretty weapons donated by an admiring coterie at the Courthouse in Peoria. Not that she uses them, but any deputy sheriff ought to have a few pieces of cutlery and artillery, she says.
 Miss Adams collee etion includes a 44-calibre revolver When she shoots it she is forced to hold it in her two hands and use both index fingers to pull the trigger.
 "I wouldn't use it. anyway she said yesterday. "So what does it matter if I can't shoot it easily?''
 In her collection also are two dangerous looking handcuffs and a golden star. As soon as her admir- CTS at the Peoria courthouse learned of her appointment as a deputy by F. G. Minor the sheriff, they took up collection and bought for her the star. For a lady sheriff could not wear tin jewelry, they argued. So Miss Adams wears the little insignia as breatspin.
 The chief duties of the deputy sheriff are escorting women prison CTS to the state asylum for the in- sane While on duty she never uses any weapon except a papier mache billy, despite her large collection of typical Wild West shooting irons
 Officers at the courthouse at Peoria insist that women deputy 'sheriffs would be all the rage if the custom was general-that is, if all were like the deputy of Peoria county.

SIMPLE WEATHER.TELLERS.

Most people know that the state o. the atmosphere, whether it be dry or moist, has direct bearing on coming weather Rain and unsettled condi- tions are likely when the air is full of moisture, and fine weather may be ex pected when the reverse is the case. Now, the greater number of weather contrivances are simply hygroscopas devices to tell us whether the air is dry or moist. One of the oldest and simplest of these is the seaweed Sus- pended in porch, or in an apart ment were there is no fire. the weed
 is crisp and dry at the approach of fine weather, whilst it is flaDu. -ua moist when rain is likely. A common toy, the Swiss Weather-house, it's real ly quite reliable in it's forecast The woman, of course, emerges from the little house in fine weather, whilst the man comes out when wet condi- tons are expected In medium state of the atmosphere both figures stand just inside the house. The move n ents are due to the twist of a cord of catgut. substance which is high ly sensitive 10 changes in tha hum idty of the air.
 One of the strongest of all weather devices is that which has been called the butterfly hygroscope. In this tn , awns of the Egyptian wild oat are en- ployed, these being highly responsive to variations in atmospheric moist ure The wings of the butterfly are made of paper. suitably painted in colors. The body is formed of piece of cardboard whilst on each side IS attached an avn. The awns must bt placed in opposite directions on eith- CT side of the wings, the lower parts being fastened down to the base or which tse butterfly is mounted The awns should be fixed in position on { damp day. so that the wings of the it.- sect are closed. AS the atmosphere 1 becomes dryer it will be found that tn; butterfly's wings slowly open; this is of course, simply due to the twistine of the lower parts of the awns, whic
 pull over the upper portion fastened against the wings.
 Probably one of the most seus,, V,
 weather constrivances Is the foil hy
 groscope. This consists of three slip' of jewellers foil-thin silver covere, on one side with a varnish. The slip. should be cut with scissors, a.x thel twisted round piece of wire unti

question, which was>erinted in an eminent trade journal, "Ehe Fruit mans Guide,'' the doctor said that he ate green fruit himself when he was boy. and that it was decidedly wrong for anyone to say that green fruit was poisonous. What the pure food board really did, was to issue an order against the artificial. ripen- ing and coloring of green oranges. Said VT. Wiley:
 We never said there was anything poisonous in colored oranges. I. don't know that there is anything injuri- ous in green orange. It's largely matter of taste. Some people like them that way The government is opposed to the artificial coloring of oranges because the object is to make green fruit appear Mpe It's a fraud on the public. There is nothing, however. to prevent their safe if they are not sold for just what they are. and not artificially colored or doped."
 Dr. Wiley on looking into the ques- ton carefully found that oranges will color to marked degree after picking and while being shipped across the country. He concluded that there was no way to tell wheth- CT an orange was ripe except by eating one, for some oranges are not very sweet even while highly colored; and some oranges are sweet when the rind is green; some, in fact, turn green again, if left on the tree after they get ripe. People who want oranges in November and December are likely to get one occas- ionally which is not so sweet ae may be desired, but they may rest as- sured by the highest authority in the pure food line that they will not suffer any i'll results if they choose to eat such immature fruit The agitation by the pure food board, however, is said to have resulted in a marked improvement in the quail ity of oranges offered this year for the early trade.

 And twas deemed best to call her

 Or tender smile sublime. ln our merrymaking,
 You often found her there. And always at the close
 She would end it with a prayer. When fate was against us
 And it semeed our hearts would

 To know she is with God
