MARTIN SHERIDAN, WORLDS GREATEST
ALL AROUND ATHLETE.

TEN of training and will continue at it
throughout the winter and in the early
spring will take part i'll many compe-
titionS outdoors.
Sheridan entered his first all around
championship at Tech field, Brookline,
in 1905. capturing the title and hang
ing up worlds record of 6.S20la
points. In 1906 he did not defend his
title, but in 1907 he again entered the
lists, capturing the championship with
a new worlds record score of T,13OH
points. Martin was on the bench again
in 1908, but competed again in 1900,
when in winning the event he rolled
up 1885, points, the present worlds $
record. The nearest approach to those
figures was made by Fred Thomson,
the Los Angeles collegian, who regis
tered 6,991 points in taking the cham
pionship at Chicago last season. Sher-
idan dit not compete then.
Jack GillieS, the Vancouver police
man. who was beaten out only by
eighty-two points for first honors by
Thomson and who. though he did no.
win the event, is considered better
man than Thomson, surely will be Il
competitor.
Gillies' score was greater than the
point score made by Tom Kelley, Ell
lery Clarke, Fred Powers. Harry Gill,
Adam Gum or any other former all
around champion. Experts look for
him to give Sheridan hard battle for
the honors.

MARGUERITE AUDoUX.

Marguerite AudouX. a Partisan sew
ing woman, has recently received the
prize of $1,000 offered by La Vie Heu-
reuse for the best book published in
France during the year The book,
Marie Claire" is for the most part
autobiographical. 1t consists of Incl
dents in the life of Mile. AudouX. who
did not begin writing until few years
ago. when she was obliged to give up
sewing on account of threatened blind
ness. Mile. Audoux confesses to little
knowledge of French writer's, but the
novels of Charles Dickens and Charles
Reade in their French transations
were her favorite reading. She says
that these novels and the Bible con-
stituted her sole literary training. The
book in France has already gone into
its tenth edition and is soon to be
translated into English
Octave Mirbeau, noted French
critic, says: "Artistically it is the equal
of any work by the great authors of
France. Its exquisite charm lies in its
fine simplicity and absolute sincerity"

The Mar6i Gras races are always a
feature of the southern speed season

Good Way to Mend a Rug Fringe.

If your rug has torn fringe do not
put it in the attic, but mend the fringe
1t is very easy to do and well worth
your pains.
Cut off all the fringe. get piece of
pasteboard four inches square and
wind around it yarn of a color to
match the rug. Wind the yarn one
way around the pasteboard five or six
times and slip it off. Then put one
end of the yarn through the end of
the rug and pull the other end through
and clinch it. Keep this up until you
get all the way across the end of the
rug. If only a little torn and you can
match the fringe exactly you do not
need to cut off all that is there. This
method, of course, is equally good for
any fabric fringe.

SAYS Wife Should Aid In Business.

Lady Hope thinks woman who

the ideal helpmeet. "A mans two am

ing of his career, if he has a tactful.
restful wife of cheerful and happy
disposition. l cannot help thinking the
ideal woman should be true to the first
pattern. She must be a helpmeet to
the man. Tt is not good for man to
live alone were the initiatory words
pronounced on her introduction to this
beautiful world. Today, though thou
sands of years have passed by since
then, the same motto holds good, and
men who have the truest views of life
and it's responsibilities will be found to
concur in il. Woman finds her great
est rewards in life by maintaining her
rightful position-that is, by being a
good mother good daughter and a
good sister and, above all, good wife.
Could any one estimate her influence
too highly if she fills these positions
well?"

FULL SPEED.
shaped like cross with the top part
forward. The beam is barely wide
enough to bear a couple of figures ly-
ing at length.
On the underside extends long run
ner, which is usually the keel in the
sailbOat The ends of the cross are
shod with steel runners about yard
in length. The rudder acts on the
same plan as that of the ordinary boat.
but is also re-enforced with a steel
runner, which cuts into the ice in
swinging the yacht around.
Once started the boat travels very
easily, even in a moderate breeze. Its
course is q series of leaps through the
air, in each of which the boat rises
several inches from the ice and shoots
through the air like flying machine.
The return to the ice is so even and
easy that there is not the slightest jar.
1t Is this continual rising and falling
at high speed which make ice yacht
ing so attractive.
With all its SO called dangers ice
yachting has a fascination that cannot
be denied, and it is a glorious pastime.
With the racers wrapped up in warm
clothing and speeding faster and faster,
with the air full of electric sparks and
the ice sparkling ahead, the glowing
checks and the flashing eyes of the
participants in this sport attest its
wholesomeaeSs. To steer in bitter
wind and to stand on the windward
side of an iceboat is one of the joys
Of life
For some boats records of a mile Il
minute and less are easy, while in a
heavy wind with perfect ice a speed
of eighty miles an hour has been ac-
complished. In fact there is a Won
derful record on the books of five
eighths of a mile in fifteen seconds,
or at the rate of a mile in twenty four
seconds, two and one-half miles in a
minute, faster than any automobile,
aeroplane or any machine has ever
annihilated space.

New Wonan's College In Egypt.

The new woman soon may be an i'm
portant factor in old Egypt. A wom-
ans college has been started in Cairo
along the same general lines as an
American or English college for girls.
The institution was started as a part
of university founded two years ago
by Prince Ahmed Fuad Pasha, uncle
of the present khedive of Egypt. The
prince is enthusiastic about the new
project, and. speaking of the school for
Mussulman women, he said: "lt was
an experiment which l resolved upon
after mature consideration, with, con
fess. some little misgiving. For an
oriental country, where the women are
not emancipated and where, of course,
they still wear the face covering called
yashmak. this was rather venture
some, but | am thankful to say that
by the blessing of Providence people
were very little scandalized, and so
success was assured. The young ladies
are ordinary members of the communi-
ty who are not intended for any pro-
fession. In fact. we have not as yet
any degrees either in law or in medi-
cine. although that will come before
long, | hope, with a suitable increase
of the means at our disposal. Lee
lures on the history of wOmankind, on
motherhood, on household life, on hy-
giene, and so forth, are the staple
items in the teaching on the female
side, and those on motherhood l con-
slider of vital imDOrtance, more Dartic
ularly in a country like Egypt"

not far from Long Branch, n. j., and
