Miss Kellogg Able to Build as

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-There was a
petulant stamp of a graceful little foot.
In part, at least, Miss Fay Kellogg,
was feminine.

shouldn't women invade every part of
the vocational world? There's nothing
in the Constitution of the United States
to forbid it, is there? If she can go in
and get the money, let her go to it,

And she can get the money, too.
Miss kellogg herself has proved it.
AS the first successful woman architect
in New York city she is earning $4,000

She knows how to do every bit of

When Miss Kellogg began to study

A teacher was explaining to her class
of little girls some of the mysteries of
the navy. She said: 1.-THE principal Of
this school is like the captain of a ship
and the teachers may be looked upon
as the b~lue-Jaclkets, or sailors. Now
children, who owns the navy of Uncle
sam?" Nobody answered. To carry
her smile further. the teacher asked:
who owns this school?'' The hand
of a little girl in the back row went
up. well, Hattie said the teacher.
"Who does w this schooV with

centre of the target, Hattie answered:

walt Whitman's father, grandfather
and great-grandfather were born in
the same house at West Hills; the early
Whitmans owned a vast estate. with
hundreds of slaves, and were noted for
their hospitality M fine style of Nv
ing.
But time had dealt hardly with the
Whitmans, and in order to d to the
support of his family, Waits father
had earned the carpenters trade. CD
his mothers side of the family, nearly
all the people were sailors.
In Walt Whitman's early life there
was no indication that the boy and
the youth might one day become a
poet. He never read for the over
whelming delight of dwelling on the
thoughts of other men. He foundi it a
tax to read T%ennyson, and he was v
able to read Browning.
Whitman was a peculiar genius, VINO
was entirely self-centred in his writ
ten work. He said that he was never
weary Of himself as the theme upon
which to write. All through his ma
tciidl IL u55iS " iNSs - dihe
school teacher, newspaper correspon-
dent, carpenter, or government clerk,
he was forming strong individual
views of ~life-rough, crude ideas, but
having strange virile force that sprang
from the depths of u truly original
mind.
Walt Whitman made his struggle as
a poet with his Leaves of Grass"
and year by year there has been IL
gradual change and broadening of view
in regard to that work that has finally
given the man a place for high thought
and poetic insight of life.
Again and again he struggled to find
publishers for the work, and even
when he printed editions himself he
eoul not give the books away People
found it shocking, and on account of
II he once lost a good position in the
Department of the Interior. The chief
.di-charging him for having written
such a book.
But Whitman was sustained by a
profound faith in himself.
There was another Whitman, greater
and more remarkable in life and soul.
and yet a very part OF the poet. This
was the Walt Whitman devoting his
days and nights to the sick and dying
In the army hospitals. Whitman gave
his services, and to support himself
wrote for the New York theatres. He
had only odd hours for this, hour
that were sadly needed for rest.

NO ENGAGEMENT GEMS
FOR DENMARK MAIDENS.

The maidens of Denmark never re-
ceive a diamond engagement ring. They
are always presented with a plain gold
band. which is worn on the third fin-
ger of the left hand.
On the wedding day the bridegroom
changes the ring to the third finger
of the right hand. which is the mar
rage finger in hat country.

CRIME BY
HEART BEAT TEST
Munsterberg Theory Tried by
Judge Convinces Him Sus-
pect Is Innocent.

TO Los Angeles belongs the n OF
having first tested in court room
Professor Hugo Munsterberg's theories
with regard to the detection of crimi-
nails. The case, which may become a
memorable n In criminal jurispru-
dence. was that of a man named
Smith, arrested by the police on the
suspicion of being an ~ex-convict har-
boring %felonious designs. The Munster
berg test proved to the satisfaction or
the Judge that the police were wrong,
and that Smith was what he claimed
to be. an honest workmen looking for
a job.
The Los Angeles judge and even the
police are fully satisfied with the re-
suits, and say that it ought to do
away with the third degree as a
means Of securing confessions.
The Munsterberg theory may be said
to rest on the old proverb which tells
us that truth is to be found at the bot
tom of a we'll. A man may tell a lie
without blushing; he may be confront
ed with evidence of crime without los
ing color, or without the quivering OF
a muscle. External appearances may
battle the closest observer. Neverthe-
less, somewhere inside he is blushing
or turning pale. His heart Is thump-
ing out the truth, " when his face
is denying 1t. Having come to this
conclusion, Professor Munsterberg de-
vised an instrument that would enable
the searchers after truth to peer under
the mask. The machine he invented Is
something like a ~stethoscope. Its pur-
pose is to precisely count the beatings
of the heart, for the professor says that
no man can regulate these beatings,
though he may be able to keep the evil
dence from showing in his face.

SWALLOWS ARE VERY BOLD
One Builds Nest in House and An
other Establishes Home IN
Electric Light Lamp.

A very curious instance of holiness
in swallows was recorded in 1888
from Ceylon. In this case the birds
built over a lamp in the dining room;
what made their choice of site more
remarkable was the fact that the
lamp could be raised or lowered by
counter weights and the connecting
chains auctually passed through the
mud walls of the nest.
Occasionally the bird selects nest
ing site which invites comparison with
the holiness of the robin. In July last
a pair of swallows took advantage Of
the open window of an unoccupied
bedroom in house at Felmersham In
Bedfordshire to begin building their
nest on the curtain rod of the bed.
The return of the owner of the
house and his occupation of the bed
did not in the least disturb or alarm the
birds, which completed the nest and
brought off three nestlings within
seven weeks of the house owners re-
turn. They took no notice of the oc-
cupant of the bed when flying In and
out of the window feeding their
young: but the hen bird would fly OF
the nest II any one entered the room
during the daytime.
Three years ago a pair of swallows
built their nest on top of the shade Of
an electric lamp which hangs outside
the asylum at Marlborough, near
Enthusiastically Magazine.

Folding Chicken Coop.

tacle Is extended the sides form a
support to the ends. and all are held
firmly in the extended position by
clips at the four corners. When the
coop Is collapsed, pins lock the fold
ing parts and keeps them down. AS
will be readily understood, coop of
this kind will be a great convenience
to the poultry farmer who ships his
chickens to market or to a poultry
store. After the live fowls have been
disposed of dozen of these improved
receptacles can be folded up, tied in
one bundle and shipped back to the
place where they came from at small
expense and no trouble. They are
equally handy on ,he chicken farm.
