Sew In HANDWRITING.

That it is possible to determine sex
from handwriting in perhaps eighty
out of one hundred is a conclusion
reached by Miss June E. Downey
from an examination of the writing
Of 200 persons. The specimens were
submitted to two professional gra.
biologists" as well as to fifteen per.
sons ignorant of their art. The so.
called sex signs are found to be large.

ting done, by age and to a certain ex,

the impact. The outfit, however, is
very cumbersome, as the padding of
the jacket and headpiece is six inches
thick.
Another interesting device brought
forward was parachute which will
open fully after fall of 80 feet. The
old-style parachutes required a fall
of several hundred feet before open
ing. The possibilities Of the new para
chute were personally demonstrated
by the inventor, who dropped from an
elevation 80 feet high with it.

Miss Josie Morris was on a visit to
her college chum and best friend.
Florence Gray. Miss Josie had ar

Mr.. and Mrs. Morris had been
called away from their home for a
stay Of four or FIVE days. They did
not doubt that Florence could man
age things during their absence, but
they did not take that little "minx"
into consideration.
Something was wrong with the
auto, and 1t was not to be taken out
;of the garage until the father re-
Burned. He hadn't left the house an
hour before Miss Josie was planning

marine barracks.
The railroads have given buildings,
building funds and maintenance funds,
to associations in all of their lardge
cities. There are over 234 railroad
mems associations, with a member
ship of $4,000 Special rooms are pro-
vided for the association in many
large railroad stations; and new
buildings are put up where other pro-
vision is not at hand.
The whole history of the develop
ment Of the association which has
grown to such proportions and i'm
portance goes back to George VIII
liams, the Diapers clerk, who con-;
ceived the idea of this organization in
his upstairs room in the dry goods
store. The Y. M. C. A. was started
purely from religious motives. Much
of its prosperity has undoubtedly
been due to the fact that it came
from within the heart Of one young
man, less than "a years old; it was
not ready-made movement, offered
to such young men as cared to &C
cept it.
Williams was Christian of the
Martin Luther character. He went
to London at twenty, fell into the
company Of 140 young clerks in the
dry goods establishment Of Hitchcock
& Rogers, and in three years had
practically converted the establish
ment, fro the head of the firm down.
BY 1843 he had organized a mission
airy society and young mems So
ciety within the store. In those days
the clerks of Diapers store lived in
-dormitories provided for them. His
work was SO phenomenal that it at
tracted general notice throughout
London and it was for the purpose Of
spreading the movement among the
clerks Of other like establishments
that the Diapers Evangelical associa-
ton, shortly after named the Young
Mems Christian association, was or
6dnAlQN w W4A14h1nS duu SOu10 SaFQ-
est friends
It was not until 1861 that the move
ment spread outside London. VIII
liams himself carried 1t to Paris, on q
business trip. A commercial traveller
took the idea from Paris to Holland;
clerk from one of the London stores
started society in Adelaide, Aus
tralia, and associations sprung up
shortly afterward in Boston, Mon
treal, Calcutta and other cities Of the
world.
Today the Y M. C. A. is furnishing
education for thousands of men. It
keeps IA secretaries at work in
American and European ports to take
care of immigrants and emigrants; It
has immigrant secretaries in four as
sociations in the United States. In
Osaka, Japan, the night classes have
745 students; in st. Petersburg there
are nearly 1000 students.
It operates employment bureaus,
through which over $4,000 men in the
United States and Canada secured
positions in the last year 1t provides
lists of boarding places and hotels;
furnishes a home to which wandering
young men are always welcome, and
adorns its walls with legends like,
Write Home to Mother" which help
to keep wandering boys on the right
track.

Good Qualities Of Electric Clock.

Good Qualities OF Electric Clock.
The electric clock is self winding
and will remain in accurate opera
ton for q period of at least one year.
The winding operation is performed
by a dry battery, and II this is Of
good quality there is no reason why
the clock should not run much longer
than one year. The movement Of this
clock is greatly simpliiied as com
pared with the spEing-driven clock.
The winding arm consists of lever
with weight on the end, and as this
winding arm drops to certain point
it closes an electric circuit and ener-
gizes an electromagnetic. This mag
net. by attracting its armature, pulls
the "winding-arm" up ready gradually
to fall again, applying its weight to
running the clock. This winding
occurs at regular intervals OF seven
or eight minutes and on this ac-
count an electric clock keeps better
time than spring clock.

"The Flaming Arrow"

An absorbing story simply and
eloquently told, is THE Flaming Ar
row." This play is possessed of a
charm and daintiness seldom seen in
modern drama. The fact that this
play has had nine successful seasons
goes to sustain the fact that it is
one that pleases all classes. 1t is a
historical play, founded on incidents
that happen in the vicinity of Fort
Reno, one that is picturesque, roman
tic and realistic. The action is SEN
sational, yet natural. The comedy is
excellent, and of the nature that
pleases the masses" The elements
of character are depicted by frontier
men, United States soldiers and In
dians, also introducing the military
band at the fort. During the action
of the second act an eclipse of the
moon takes place which is very real
istic. In all it is a wonderful scenic
and electrical production, which will
appear at the Lyric on Wednesday,
