A LESSON IN GEOGRAPHY.
Some Curious Facts About Our Cities
That May Surprise You.

Some little known facts about Amer
lean cities have been collected by Pro-
fessor K. H. Whitbeck of the geology
department of the University of Wis
consin in an article in the Journal of
Geography.
That Massachusetts. one of the
smallest states, has more large cities
than any other state in the Union ia
one of the odd facts brought out 1t
has twenty-five cities with a popula-
ton of $4,000 or over. The state OF
New York has twenty-one cities Of this
size. while Pennsylvania has twenty.
Texas. the largest state In the Union,
has no city Of 100000 or over. There
Is only one city in Arkansas, Little
Rock, that has over $4,000, while New
Jersey. only fraction of its size. has
fourteen cities of $4,000.
The peculiar fact that four states
have one very large city, while the
city of second size Is almost unknown,
is also pointed out. For instance,
every one knows that Chicago is the
first city of Illinois and has a popu-
lation of over 100000, but few know
that the second city in Illinois is Pc
orla. only one-thirtieth the size Of Chi
cago While Baltimore has 100000
population. Cumberland, the next city
OF Maryland, has only $1,000 inhablt-
ants. New Orleans is twelve times the
size OF Shreveport. the next city Of
Louisiana Milwaukee is nearly ten
times the size Of Superior, the second
city OF Wisconsin.
There are now nineteen cities In the
United States with a population or
100000 each. Only one OF these. New
Orleans. is in the south.

lady that the remedy lies in her own
hands and that If she knows how to
sew and Is possessed OF average arts
tic skill she need pay no more for her
hats than the cost Of the shape and
trimmings. said a woman recently.
Let us suppose, for instance, that a
useful knockabout hat is required and
that is TO be trimmed with the fashion
able outstanding bows, with a swathine
of silk at the base.
Choose your shape and buy three
yards Of pretty ribbon. then proceed as
follows: Cut two rounds Of tailor's can

sew them together. then take three
pieces OF ribbon. one fifteen inches long
and the other two twelve inches long.
Double and gather them along the
raw edges If the ribbon is very soft
you must put piece of broad millinery
wire inside the loops to support them
Sew the three loops firmly in the cen
ter of the canvas.
Pin the canvas In a becoming position
on the hat and sew the edges to the
shape. then swathe the rest Of the rib

HOW TO REDUCE GAS BILL
Suggestions by Expert For Economical
Use of Household Lights.


A repair man who was called in to
hunt gas leak gives this timely warn
ing: mo matter how faint the smell
of gas, never hunt the leak with a
match, but call up the gas office at
once. The gas may not be apparent
outwardly, but may have collected in
the pipes or in the joists of the wall.
The match applied at the outlet is
sufficient to produce an explosion that
might blow out the side of the wall"
AS soon as there is a perceptible
smell of gas open doors and windows
wide. Never carry light into closed
room where gas is suspected Illumi-
mating gas mixed equally with air is
one of the greatest explosive COM
pounds known, and a surplus of air
must be provided to avoid danger.
In using the small plate gas stoves
attached by an extra key to the gas
jet see that the rubber tube fits tight.
The least escaping gas, though scarce
ly noticeable, vitiates the atmosphere
and swells the gas bill
Always turn off the light from a
drop light or gas plate by the cock
which supplies the tube. If the lower
cock is used first the upper one may
be forgotten. and the pressure of gas
on the rubber surely causes a leak.
Occasionally take off the tube and hang
it out to air to get rid of gas odors
that may be mistaken for leaks.
Do not neglect to turn off the lower
cock as well. II it is left open bad
accident may result by the force Of
the gas accumulated between the time
the gas is turned on and one has
stopped to apply match to the
burner. This is especially dangerous
in the one plate stoves used in many
bathrooms and nurseries for heating
water.
In lighting the burner of a gas stove
see that the key is fully turned on be-
fore applying the match; otherwise
the force of the air may drive the
fame back through the key opening
instead of igniting. Do not turn on
any gas burner until the match is
ready.
Every housekeeper should know
where the stopcock is that controls the
gas supply of the house. In case of
FIRE or sudden accident such knowl-
edge may save an explosion.

ARISTOCRACY OF PORCELAIN.
How to Distinguish Marks on Your
China.

How to Distinguish Marks on Your
China.
Have you examined the markings on
the bottom of your chinaware that has
been safely stored away among your
treasured relics of the last generation?
You may be fortunate enough to find
the mark Of the st. Cloud factory on
one Of them, and II so you have speed
men most sought after by the collect
ors Of famous china.
There are many who believe that St
Cloud was the first place where the
manufacture Of soft paste porcelain on
a commercial scale was successfully
carried on before the discovery of kao-
lin in Europe in 1895. Soft porcelain,
or pate tendre. was made there by one
Pierre Chicoiceneau. or Chicneneau.
and a special privilege for the manu-
facture Of true porcelain more beauti-
full and nearer perfection than that OF
the Indies or China was granted in
1895 TO the widow OF Pierre Chicne-
neau. She married Henry Trou, who
became head of the mandatory un.
der the patronage Of Philip Of Orleans,
regent Of France.
In 1908 the St Cloud kilns were pro-
ducing a ware as white and translu-
cent and as brilliant in decoration as
that brought from China. The porce-
lains were of a fine regular grain, but
both paste and glaze Of a yellowish

appearance on European wares Dur
Ing the early period. up to the death OF

sometimes surrounded by crosses and
dots, also occurs.

HOW TO REPAIR YOUR
LAST YEARS ULSTER.

If you are going to have your
ulster repaired why not see II
you cannot bring it up to date
by copying a detail which is a
distinguishing feature of the
latest English ulster in fur? This
model, made very similarly to
the American coat differs from
1t saliently because of its collar,
which is deep square extend
ing to or Il trifie below the waist
in the back and in front Is sim.
ply two narrow tabs which cross
below the chin. The collar on a
cloth ulster might be of velvet,
plush or MORE unless Hudson
bay seal, musquash, squirrel or
some short haired pelt were pre-
ferred. But IL anything save fur
is used the edges of the collar
must be weighted with leads.
Otherwise they will roll up and
the neck finishing promptly lose
its shape and style.
