NEW coLoRS OF 1911.

The names of the new colors, OF,
more correctly speaking, the new
names Of the old colors fashionable
this year. are so many and often so in
congruous that to attempt to learn
them all wearies one at first. II is
fad of the moment to call every color
by whatever there is in land O" sea. in
art or nature. to which il may bear
some slight resemblance, and by that
title the shade is known Every fish.
flower and fruit has its fashionable
namesake this year, and now fashion is
starting on the vegetables and food
stuffs The difference between butter
color and mayonnaise yellow must be
at once distnguishable by those who
pretend to know aught of the fine
shadings OF gowns. There is no doubt
that in spite of the definite vogue that
black and white combinations are en-
joying, this is to be a season Of bright
colors Every lingerie frock is made
with it's ribbons of cherry color or
hydrangea blue. or whatever shade of
green, mauve or yellow suits lest the
individual type of beauty. 1t must be
said that there is a more marked diff
ference than usual between the gowns
of young people and their mothers and
that this difference is noticeable chief
ly in he colors which they adopt

matter how it met its fate.
But mere philosophy is not the only
or main ground upon which the
colOnel's claims rest There are more
ways of killing a cockroach than by
shipping cyanide of potassium into it's

by drilling a tunnel through its cuticle

the main point. there are sundry ex-
plantations To be offered by way of
proving that the elephant is in very
truth a Roosevelt souvenir and not
the palmed- off trophy OF another's

Why. for instance. might the colonel

monster low with a slinSshot? Why

have suddenly showed his teeth and
scared it to death? Or made a stump
speech and choked it with enthusi

which all elephants are supposed TO
be, it died in an apoplectic fit.

City or Town.
NEW ELIXIR OF LIFE.

From HazletOn, Pa, comes the in
formation that the oldest inhabitant of
Butler Valley, after celebrating his
Tooth birthday last November, has been
gathered to his fathers. 1t is incl
dentally related that he voted for
nineteen presidents, which indicates
that he did not neglect the duties of
citizenship even when other COM
patriots of lesser years were prone to
linger by the fireside and delegate the
work of saving the nation, politically,
TO still younger men.
In some respects the case Of this CEN
tenarian was peculiar as, according to
the dictum of his physicians, he owed
his long life and prolonged mental and
physical activity to the judicious use
OF stimulant. 1t must not be hastily
assumed that the veteran maker of
presidents was addicted to the bow
which is said at times to cheer, and at
other times to intoxicate He may or
may not have trifled with the Demon
Rum, but, so far as has transpired, it
was a negligible factor in the diagnosis
made by the physicians.
1t is declared that the venerable de-
ceased early acquired the tobacco eat
ing habit. 1t is related that ne never
went to bed without liberal portion
of the Indian weed in his mouth, and
that he always swallowed it, Now the
learned physicians who attended him
in his late hours are quoted as declar-
ing that the tobacco was a stimulant
and served to preserve the Butler Val
ley mans life
1t is scarcely wise for mere laymen
to criticise or question the conclusions
reached by the scientific physicians
who have given the world the ultimate
secret of the prolongatiOn OF life to the
century mark. 1t would seem, though,
to be allowed TO suggest that while
the stimulant proved so efficacious in
this case. it might be well for the earn
est seeker after longevity to proceed
cautiously in emulating the example of
the Butler Valley farmer, and find
some less pronounced method of par
taking of the stimulant upon which to
begin his experiments with the new
elixir Of life.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.

BILE, bronze are supplanting the ancient
stucco work of the Indians and the
later heavy trimmings, but concrete
furnishes the basic element i'm about
all of Mexico City's large building
operations. More than half a million
people there may take pride in the
results of federal constructive opera
tons that have been almost continu-
Gus since 1906 and which. it was
planned. should cost 100000. 900 in
their entirety.
Geographical conditions made wood
of every kind scarce in the Mexican
capital, and brick is almost as rare a
commodity. But lime and sandstone
are plentiful enough. it is understood
to offset the deficiency in other ma
tcrials. and the Mexicans of neces-
sity, as well as through inclination
have utilized to the utmost degree the
composite fabric that lends itself to
artistic efforts most pleasantly. That
which may impress northern archi-
tects as peculiar is the fact that the
Mexicans often erect huge structures
of concrete without reinforcement of
steel or other substance. Yet these
buildings, ii is said. are impervious to
heavy rain, earthquake proof and i'm
movable as rock when tempests sweep
the capital Examples of concrete
and cement building in the United
States also have indicated that such
structures, when carefully put to-
gether, are nearly indcstructible.
True, the expense of concrete or ce-
ment construction is even greater
Here than that of wood, but the com
position spells economy because of its
lasting qualities. Yet Americans have
done little enough with either con-
crete or cement I'm the way of using
them for public buildings and bust
ness establishments. More thought,
perhaps, has been devoted to their ar
tistic possibilities than to the economy
and safety they offer. Europe. too,
