WOMEN WHO AVOID POLITICS
Queen of Home Kingdom Better Than Any Other
Title, Declares PreIate in Address to Students

In an address on the True spirit OF
women" at Immaculate Seminary yes
terday afternoon, Cardinal Gibbons paid
high tribute to women who are content
to reign in their own household, and not
mix in everyday politics.
The highest type of womanhood. said
the cardinal, lis the woman who con-
stantly looks after the needs of her
home and does everything in her power
to infuse the spirit of purity and fair
ness into the households. I do not see
why women should want to mix up in
politics. Let the men run politics. if
they will, but the woman, who rules
the ruler of politics. is really the ruler
after all.
ITO my mind the title of queen of the
home kingdom. is better than any title
that can be bestowed on any woman.

The Departments of Justice, State, and

form the latest addition to the group.
OF this addition, the bureau will be the
first to become a reality. A site adjacent
to its present location has been chosen
for the new building. where Uncle Sam
will manufacture his millions of silver
and gold certificates.

SOFTNESS OF GOLDEN ARC
Peculiar Color Of Light Is Due to spe-
eial Preparation Of Carbon Which
Contains Rare Minerals.

In place of the pure white glare
cold and unkind in its whiteness-of
the usual form of arc light, a still
more glazing radiance, but of a soft
and pleasing golden color, is now ev-
erywhere seen.
The golden color of this light is
due to a peculiar preparation of the
carbon pencils, which are said to con-
tain the salts of various somewhat
a r minerals; but their exact con-
stituents are not revealed by the
manufacturers.
The golden arc light gives a curl
Gus spectrum quite unlike the contin-
uous band afforded by ordinary car
bons, which is very similar to that
Of daylight. The spectrum yielded
by the new carbons is discontinuous.
and consists of a number of brilliant
strips separated by spaces of dark
ness. The red, orange and green are
especially conspicuous, while blue
and the colors beyond it are scarcely
represented. The carbons have the
disadvantage of giving a somewhat
unsteady light, and for this reason
they are held by many to be more
suitable for outdoor than for interior
llumination.-Harper's Weekly.

BOOKS ON GOLF ARE DEAD
Dealer V%ehemently Complains That
He Can Sell Any Other Kind
Except That.

A book dealer burst into bitter
complaint the other day.
81 can sell any sort of a book" he
said, Except one. let its age be
what you please; let its covers be
bauered, still | can find a customer
for it. Provided, that is, it is not
a book on golf"
He went on to sketch the sad stu
alton:
st may seem to you odd, but it
is true that the golf books are dead
as dead can be. The publishers don't
know that fact yet, but we book deal
ers do. They still issue golf rec
ords, golf manuals, and all that sort
Of thing, and we have to buy them
on a falling market"
He was perfectly serious about it,
and, as the phrase goes, ought to
have known what he was talking
about. There are, it is true, less pif-
ling questions, but he raises one
which leases the curiosity. Is it true
that people don't read golf books?
Is the ~book-taught beginner merely
a myth? Here is some evidence that
he is, or at least that he gets his
theory of golf out of books which he
oorrows but does not buy.-Chicago

WHEN ALL MEN FLY.

The influence of this freedom will
tend toward decentralization, permit
ting men to live at such places as
may be found most convenient, with
out the close influence of the loca-
ton Of their business activities. 1t
is quite possible that the cities may
become more and more restricted to
business and be gradually abandoned
as places of residence, a condition
which is already beginning to appear
IN some instances. When a man is
able to rise from his own grounds
and travel with the speed of an ex-
press train in any chosen direction
in a machine of moderate cost, oper-
ated wholly by himself, there will be
no reason why the situation Of his
mandatory or office should have
much influence upon his place Of res
idence. -Cassier's Magazine.

in national politics, most having

be denied that Gov. Harmon's

has been elected governor of
