INDIA'S COTTON MILLS

On July 1st the new regulations re specting the hours of labor in lndlan cotton mills came into force. 1he daily hours worked are to be tWelV the year round Previously there hao been no fixed working hours. Ihe custom has been to work from sun rise to sunset. which varies rom eleven and a quarter to thirteen
 hours; but in electrically lighted mllls
 thirteen or more hours have been
 worked the year round.
 To English ideas these hours are
 very long, even in a cooler climate than that of India, yet the new or
 regulations have aroused very Httle
 interest among Indian operatives. ln-
 deed they seem to regard the change with complete apathy. This Wouic
 be very surprising in England, but to those who manage Indian mills It F easily understandable. The average Indian operative is very happy-go- lucky; he has no education, very few wants. exceedingly low cost of llvlng' and no care for the future. So long

 to a. minute or two or an hour of two. He takes his meals at all tlmeS or any time, and unless the manage ment is very alert he sleeps on ev-

 much more waste is made Tn an lh-
 dian mill than in an English mlll, afo
 the cost of repairs and renewals is also very much higher. The hsts oI oneratives in each department con
 tain a number entered as spares. rms
 is one of the great difficulties me-
 with bv Indian managers. So many oneratiyes can not be relied upon for envthing at the end of the month when they receive their wages, ana the irregularity in attendance IS ai- ways so great that these spare hands nave to be kept at great addition to the cost of production. Lancashire people might ask why irregular or unsatisfactory workers are not dls charged. This is easy to recommend out unwise to do. as there IS occa- sionally, particularly during the months of April and May great shortage of hands owing to a large 1 number who go to the country to spend some time with their families | or to help in preparing the land for sowing before the monsoon.

CRYPTOGRAM MACHINE IS
 INVENTED

A dispatch from St Petersburg credits a Russian naval officer with the invention of a machine which has long been desired by all who have occasion for seceret communications
 by means of cryptographic codes The machine is nothing less than an eIec- trical automatic writer of a crptic cipher and its complement: the auto matic reader of the cipher has also already been produced. Captain Sold
 atenoff, the inventor, recently gave
 an exhibition of the utility of his in vention before the czar and czarfna on board the imperial yacht Standart
 After short explanation from Cap tain Soldatenoff the czarina wrote short ciphered message by means
 of the first machine. which the czar l readily deciphered by means of the second machine. The Russian mins- terial departments have already had sample machines in use. and in con sequence of their general success pat ents have now been taken out for most European states and for Ameri- l ca
 i It was when engaged in writing dis l patches as naval attache at Rome. l NAAA consequently lOT M Mu1dN We'll, ] the Russian minister for foreign af- I fairs, that the inventor first had the l idea of a cipher machine. He was
 constantly finding errors and am ! biguities in the different codes used.
 and consequently he determined to | devise a code on a mathematical ba-
 sis which should be- as it were. ever irenewable-each' succeeding message | being written by a code which was a
 mathematical development of the code used in the preceding one At last he compounded a code which satis- fled him in this respect, as also in it's clearness and infallibility.
 | Then, however, came the question
 of giving the invention a more prac-
 tical shape, and it was decided by Captain SOldatenoff and his friend
 and supporter, M Muravieff, that
 there was nothing for it but to pro- duce a machine which should work automatically, and which should, met aphorically speaking. hold the secret of the invention locked in it's breast With financial assistance from NJ ! Muravieff. the inventor plodded away at his self-imposed task, and was un- dismayed as time and again the ma. l chine makers working according tC
 his designs presented him with in struments that were quite useless.
 Finally, with the help of two skill ] ed French Watchmakers, he produced a machine suitable for his purpose and with a few months further labol | a presentable example of this instru- ] Iment was brought before the Russian : minister of foreign affairs. It is un ] derstOOd that each pair of machine;
 l has a different cipher, and that eacl ? cipher is almost if not quite impOs ? sible to translate without the aid O
 the complementary machine As tn, 2 cost of production is very high, how ever, it seems probable that the ma
 chine will find use only in govern , ment departments and in the offices } of the larger business houses.-Berlil E l Correspondence London Standard.

In the September American mag aZine appear a number of stories of the Chicago and Baltimore conven- tions. Following is a story about one of the speakers at the Baltimore convention:

STOCKINGS AND CHAPTERS

The death of a young and beau = tiful girl in a New York hospital after amputation of both legs on account as it was at first asserted, of dear ing contracting silk stockings and garters that prevented circulation of life giving blood, is matter of more than passing interest Of course, the doctors disagreed, as doctors do, but the tragic incident serves to call at tention to conditions that are of vii tai moment.
 Civilization decreed the waring of the stocking by both women and men. Some very good peoples in the tropi- cal regions have. rejected the decree. even when missionaries have advised the calico of art rather than the gowns of Eden, but the inevitable has been accepted, and there we are. We must accept the stocking, long or short, feminine and masculine. and as night follows day so the garter followed the stocking There never would have been the blood -obstruct- ing garter had not the stocking. at some unknown age; come to be a corollary of the leg.
 The order of the Garter was an in signia of knighthood established in the reign of Edward III; but that is another story. The modern garter is utilitarian, and, like many utili- tartan things, is unsanitarian. It was sad by the physicians who had in hand the remarkable case referred to that the support of feminine

stockings should be from the cOrsets But what about the sanitary thought of the corsets? And what shall be said of the masculine garter, which stops circulation below the calf of the leg, and has been charged with producing varicose veins and other ills? And what shall be said of the
 binding belt which has so far usurp- ed the function of the dear old "sus- penders" as support for trousers or "pants?'
 While we are in the throes of re form of all kinds, let us give sub lime consideration to the really grave question:. regardless of the suggested pun, of the garter and the belt Pittsburg Dispatch.

R. H. Greene Returns From Coast Trip and Says He Encountered Scores Who Expect to Visit Phoenix During Winter

R H. Greene returned this week from an extended trip to the Pacific coast, leaving Phoenix the latter part of July He went to Los Angeles with his sister, Mrs. E. s. Griffin. Taking a steamer they went to Sc attle. visiting relatives on Puget Sound. near Everett, Washington.
 The principal occupation of MT. Greene while in the Puget Sound country was running a motor boat and hauling fish from the briny deep. Returning to Los Angeles by steamer he attended the G. A. R. encampment, where he met some of his old com rades Arizona made a very cred liable showing in the parade, some twenty five old soldiers from Ari- zona being in line.
 Mr Greene says Los Angeles is growing more rapidly than ever be- fore in its history and she has made pretty rapid strides in the past. The building of sky scrapers and apart ment houses seems to never cease and he wonders how they ever find tenants to occupy them
 He saw Clinton Campbell, one of the old building contractors of Phoe- nix. who is building a very fine apartment house on Ninth street, near West Lake Park MT Campbell expressed himself as often getting homesick for Phoenix and remarked If he was not building this apart ment he would be back in Phoenix.
 Although he was gone but two months, MT. Greene was surprised to gee the number of buildings that have been added to the city in that time in business and residences. He was particularly pleased to note the building activity in Home Builders Chelsea Place tract.
 While in Los Angeles he arranged and Lynwood streets, copies from the finest high class residence place, La fayette Square.

the beads are in, direct contrast to
the color of the satin. Steel or gold
beads on black satin slipper are al.
ways good and the revival of Jet

With such a bow it is a novelty of
the moment to have the tongue of the
slipper ornamented in corresponding
fashion. The tongue may be made
OF satin over a buckram foundation.
A large cabachou to match the small

IF YOU WOULD HAVE
A COMFORTABLE CORSET

Everybody knows that the uncor-
seted figure is the most fashionable
figure OF the day. The woman who
dares has already appeared at public
functions without the restraint of
steel and bone. The woman who can
thus mock at the contrivance of sci
ence is indeed fortunate. Long may
she CORY in her possession!
Comparatively few mondaines are
so blessed, and the great majority
must therefore turn to that blessed
substitute, the corset. which will
most nearly reproduce the human fig
ure and lend the effect of the uncor-
seted figure. The material that has
proved itself most available for this
purpose is tricOt, sort of knitted
cotton. When this material was first
used for cOrsets the stays were very
expensive Today they are within
the reach OF most purses, selling for
from So up.
This triCOt is a remarkably firm
fabric. yet possessing sufficient elias
ITCHY to give with every bend OF the
body. That ii is comfortable goes
without further explanation
There are various styles of these
corsets-some have the low busts,
