whose head, afterward called the Lord
Warden, was a kind of Pooh-Bah. who
combined in his single person the
functions OF sheriff, keeper Of the
rolls, lord lieutenant and admiral. He
also nominated the representatives OF
the five towns in Parliament, who, TO
this day, are known as the Barons OF
the Cirque Ports.
They were great fighters, and as
good shipbuilders, were those sea-dogs
of the Cirque Ports. Their ships were
so strong that they really preferred TO

sure to go TO the bottom. and If their
craft was the unlucky one, they board

crew into the water. Even King John
was able to lie in peace in the Isle Of
Wight with the merry men of the
Cirque Ports guarding it's shores. and
when Pope Innocent sent over a Bull
OF accommodation, which consigned
the kings soul 10 a locality famous
for its warmth. the men of Sandwich
sailed forth in their ships. seized the
vessel containing the Bull, tore the

it upon the waves. In their spare time

There have been boz changes since

broken up by modern legislation. and

Birds That EIirt.

Henry Oldys, formerly of the United
States Biological survey. in the course
G recent lecture at the University OF
Chicago said that birds were pos.
sessed Of an aesthetic sense similar to
that of human beings Birds dance in
the air, do Highland filings. and the
more sedate evolutions with the most
perfect rhythm" said Mr. Oldys "They
sing bird ragtime, and at other
times snatches OF song which greatly
resemble our grand opera. There is n
blackbird that has song almost like
a Wagnerian opera; the robin is best
in so-called popular songs: while the
wood thrush sings a song OF four dis
tinct verses. Like the human being,
birds flirt and are filled with vanity.
In this capacity they use their plum
age with great effect In the Congo
there Is a male bird that struts before
it's mate, and peeps under its wing TO
see If she is looking at him" The
speaker concluded with the statement
that birds sometimes copy from man.
and that man could learn great deal
by copying from the bird.

Value of PercaIe.

Not every woman appreciates the
qualities of pure white percale for
summer gowns. This fabric is much
used by trained nurses for lightweight
uniforms which may be Numbered to
spic and spanness with much less
labor than linen requires. Percale is
also cooler than linen and is much
lighter In weight. II may be trimmed
with stitching and buttons in very
smart style. young woman who al
ways looks as though she had stepped
out of bandbox always wears white
percale frocks in summer time. A
loose blouse with an open collar is
trinity belted above short. straight
skirt. and buttoned boots of white
complete the costume.

Simple Trimmings.

Very little trimming is required for
the school frock This little may
be applied In the shape of a little
handwork. ornamenting the yoke,
the collar and the cuffs, or perhaps
the little strap which marks the side
closing. 1t should be sparingly used,
however, and the design should be OF
the simplest Next to the touch OF
handwork comes braid and very lit
tie, again. of this is used II adds a
trig. tailored finish to many a collar,
and loops of 1t are certainly easier to
make than buttonholes. The large
bound buttonholes are used as deco
ration features in connection with but
tons. A few well-chosen buttons will
often add all the trimming that may
be desired.

To Revive Flowers.

Many women despair of the fact that
flowers quickly fade when worn by
them.

secret which kept her bunch of vic.

The simple method was this:
About the stem of the bouquet had
been wrapped piece of waxed sand.

over this was placed the tinfoil
used for flowers.
They kept beautifully fresh, and
this fact Is well worth knowing. Do
this Immediately when taking the
nosegay from the water.

SAFE RAILWAY TRAVEL.

Train Wrecks during the last six months have been freuqent Some of them have been appalling in the number of lives lost. The accident of July 1 at Corning, in which forty persons were killed; the accident at WiIpen, in which twenty seven were reported killed; the accidents at Ode Sd, Kinmundy. and Bridgeport, all within the year, are cases in point
 A recent writer in the Railway Age Gazette points out that the com parative freedom from accidents in 1907, 1908, and 1909 should not be ac- corded too much significance. as that was q period of relatively uncon- gested traffic. The implication is clear It is that this being period of great industrial activity the recent frequency of accidents is not to be re- garded as greatly surprising.
 What is to be done to meet the sit uatiOn? The thought that this coun- try is to. labor forever under the stig- ma of being the land where railway travel is least safe is intolerable. One method of increasing safety is by the abandonment of extremely fast travel The flyers and the 'limiteds" be- tween New York and Chicago have been wrecked or derailed five times since last January, and they are not the only fast trains which have been in trouble.

The reports of the Stanley commit tee which has been investigating the character and operations of the Steel trust for more than a year, summary of whose findings was published yes terday morning. will no doubt greatly disturb that trust as well as the many other industrial and financial interests more or less intimately related to it.

Not the Place for Fairgrounds

The need of playgrounds, urged by MT Coons in d communication to the secretary of the board of trade, has been felt by every city and therefore, cannot he disputed But we believe that Mir. Coons errs when he advises the permanent location of playgrounds in such centers of the business dis trict as the city hall plaza and the court house plaza and in the grounds of the Central school building which is being rapidly brought within the business district, and in fact, is now almost surrounded
 The Republican has previously ad- vised the sale of both plazas and again advises it for several reasons. It advises also the sale of the Central school property. chiefly for the req son that the expansion of the business district is making it unsuitable as well as unsafe for school purposes.
 The Washington street plazas have become too valuable for the purposes for which they are used. In former times we pointed to them with pride as show places" for the tourist Now, they have become blots upon the busi- ness neighborhood The things the stranger sees there are not always edifying. They have become Ioafing places rather than playgrounds for children or rest grounds for weary citizens. More hoboes are seen in both than children. Many unfortunate sick congregate there who would be far better off on the desert or in out lying places where the air is freer and purer Their presence there does not give the business district that hustlng appearance which fastens it. self upon the stranger
 The courthouse is antiquated and inadequate. The city hall is almost equally so and with their relative de- creasing usefulness they are losing their former ornamental character. When thing ceases to be either or namental or useful. it is time for it's displacement.
 The sale of these two valuable tracts would furnish money for the purchase of site, say the Central school grounds, with enough left over for the construction of an elegant, modern building, suitable to both county and municipal needs. Thus would aiI our public buildings. with the exception of the capitol, be brought within the space of two blocks, a monumental and ornamental group.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHI


 NEW YORK. Aug 3.-Under the lead of the Hill issues and a few other stocks which play an important part in crop movements, tOday'S brief market session began with much promise to the bull side. Activity in Northern Pacific and Great North ern was much in excess of the usual dealings, the movement later spread ing to certain grangers and the transcontinental group. In the final hour when the demand for these stocks had run it's course, the list suddenly reversed itself. turning many material gains to moderate net losses
 There was heaviness in United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper and affiliated properties. Hard coal stocks appeared to be under pressure. There were some spectacular gains in tobaccos, while National Biscuit was forced to yield a part of it's recent recovery.
 The bank statement was featureless. The only notable feature of the day was the exhibit of banks and trust companies not connected with the clearing house. whose loans fell off by more than $4,00O,000. Bonds firm, to- tai sale S1.235.0OO. United States government bonds unchanged on call.

The Pythian Sanitarium

Whatever aid may be rendered by the board of trade and the valley to- ward securing the national Pythian sanitarium which is going to be To- cated somewhere very soon, ought to be cheerfully extended. It will be a paying investment, the proceeds com ing in the shape of constant, nation wide advertising of this region. There is a Knights of Pythias castle hall in every town in the United States and in almost every village. Each would become d publicity bureau for the Salt River valley.
 Colorado Springs, though it was an already we'll known resort owes much of it's later fame to the location of the National Printers Home there, largely through the munificence of George w. 'Childs. Attention has been thereby more constantly directed to a quality of the climate which so many are seeking.
 The national Pythian sanitarium will not be secured without strong Opposi- ton. Representatives to the supreme lodge from every jurisdiction which can be imagined to have a health re sort will urge the claims of their respective regions. But the Salt River valley is prepared to show that there is no other location so suitable to the purposes of the sanitarium which the Knights of Pythias propose to estab- fish as the foothills which surround the valley.
