Wears Golden Stockings

From the New York World.
 Miss Aline Gordon or New York and her gold stockings are the subject of quite some conversation at this point of the compass. The fact that the picture of a golden pheasant is worked on the front of each of the stockings adds some what to the general wonder and admira- tion of the beholders.
 Young men and old, as well as women, gaze on the golden stockings with un- affected interest as Miss Gordon trips lightly up and down the hotel stairs or sits on the piazza in the bright sun light.
 That's just the kind a girl ought to wear when she's climbing up the golden stairs" observed one cross old maid, after a quick glance at Miss Gordons $ glitterihg ankles.
 Two different pairs of these golden stockings have been worn by Miss Cor don in the last week. Each pair cost s10o, it is said. There is barely no- ticeable difference In the tint They were woven, according to report, from real cloth of gold. which is so valuable that the weavers are watched with the utmost care while at work.
 Gosh. Miranda, it would take good many hills of potatoes to pay for them SON." remarked one native of New Hampshire to his better half today as they paused within short distance of the girl from New York and feasted their eyes on the glittering encasement of her lower limbs.

EDUCATION 'OF RUSSIAN WOMEN Jewesses ClamOr for Learn ing in Land of the
 CZar
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard
 In the ladies higher course institutes In Russia there are at present only 150O vacancies for candidate alumni, and of the latter there are no fewer than H73, all of whom are graduates of first class lycees, and, consequently, duly qualified to enter for the university courses. This unusually large number of candidates tes- tifes to the ever extending aspiration among young Russian women for acad- emic honors and for the acquisition of knowledge which will fit them for careers in one or other of the learned profess sions. Ii is noteworthy that among the women students taking the university courses the Jewesses outnumber the Christians, and this notwithstanding the huge disparity between the orthodox and Jewish sections of the population. At present there are, for example, in the ladies higher course institutes TOT Chris 1ian and S05 Jewesses in the physico- mathematical section, 1146 Christians and 12O6 Jewesses in the historic -philoloeicaI section, and 120 Christians and 15s Jew esses in the Jurisprudence section
 Tn the technical high schools for women only per cent of Jewish stu dents will be admitted for the cominp. session.
 The institutes for the higher edu- cation of women in this country re- uuire to be very considerably extended. "his need has been repeatedly urged upon the minister of public instruction during recent years, but the alleged lack of funds is always pleaded in ex cuse of Nj. Kasso's inacton in the mat ter
 As matter of fact, the ministry Of public instruction has always been. so fo say, in a state of semi-starvation. and 1t is, obviously, branch of the Imperial administration which, above all others, should be not only liberally but generously supported by the ex- chequcr. Public education is the most pressing need of Russia, but her states men are not, unfortunately. all of that conviction. Ii was one of the publicly uttered obiter dicta of former min fster of public instruction. Count Tol- stoy. who held the post for 15 years, that education would prove the ruin of the Russian people!

Glass Paving Falls.

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demie Lune, a
suburb about four miles from Lyons,
for making glass paving material.
After many experiments carried out
at the factory. the manufacturer ap-
piled to the Lyons municipality for
the right to make a trial on one of the
chief thoroughfares. The necessary
authorization was granted, provided
that the inventor would bear the en-.
tire expense Of the undertaking. The
place chosen for laying the glass
pavement was a section Of the Place
de la Republique, where traffic Of
cabs. automobiles and wagons Of all
kinds Is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years. and were then taken out, as
they were in very poor condition. The
edges were all broken, and In many
cases the blocks were split through
and through. Tho opinion of officials
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used IN.
der favorable circumstances for foot
paths. but not for the middle Of
streets.

CARE OF THE VEGETABLES
Especial Precautions Needed In Hand
ling tho Canned Product-Ollvs
OH Always Of Great Value.

Canned vegetables should be opened
an hour before using and contents
dumped into another vessel. String
beans. p4msntos. okra, asparagus and
several other vegetables are better
OF for being rinssd In fresh cold
water before the cooking. Whom
used for salads the things a be eat
en- without further cooking. but they
must be washed of, drained very dry
and thoroughly chilled before using.
New cabbage. oaulifowsr and brus-
sells sprouts are among the most
nourishing and appetising vegetables,
and II q bit OF charcoal Is put IN the
water the strong odor with the cook
ing will be much modified. The wom-
an who wants to be pretty should
care for carrots. spinach. lettuce and
celery. Carrots contain iron. spinach
acts on the liver and celery and let
tuce are among the nerve foods. All
fresh vegetables should be cooked au
naturel, that Ia, in plain boiling
water. and seasoned afterward. A
can of good olive oil is a mine OF
wealth to the cook who loves the
taste Of 1t. OIL Is cheaper than but
ter and 1t stays fresh longer and can
be used for every vegetable hot or

CRITIC WROTE UP" WEDDING
His Regular Line Was tho Drama and
Customary style Showed In
His Work.

In the absence Of the regular s0ci-
ETY. reporter the dramatic critic Of the
Daily Doings vas detailed to v a
wedding. 'Il do the best l can," he
said, but l feel sure l shall make a
mess OF It,"
This Is what he turned tn-omitting
the preliminary remarks about the
size Of the house and the delay In be-
ginning tho performance:
"Mr. Barker, In the role Of the
bridegroom, acted the part In a stiff
yet ~listless manner. He has a good
stage presence, but mars the effect by
q total lack Of animation and an al
most inaudible voice. Miss Perkins,
as the bride, was much more effective.
Her costume was b~ewilderlng, yet
true to life. II one may venture to
criticize, her effort to overcome her
obvious stage fright was a tribe too
evident. She was In good voice, how.
ever. and her enunciation was clear
and distinct.
ut must be pointed out that both
Miss Perkins and Mr.. Barker were
deficient in their lines, and had to be
prompted almost constantly by the
Rev. Henry Harper, who. as the off,
ciating Clergyman, was decidedly the
star Of tho performance"

TURKS ENJOY HORSE RACING
First Event of the Kind at CONSTANT
nople Proved Exceedingly
Popular.

An enormous and motley crowd
gathered on the beautiful plain of Veil
Effendi, on the shores Of the Mar
mora, to witness the first horse races
of the Ottoman metropolis. The day
was magnificent, the weather propi-
tious and the people at the height OIL
their festive mood. The Moslems
had never seen horse races before.
To them it was in every way a new
spectacle, and to all 1t was a real
sign of advancing times.
Among the many thousands of spec
tators women predominated. Hours
before the show they came from every
quarter with baskets of provisions, In
tending to spend the whole day In gaz-
ing at any chatting over the events of
the day. The groups Of Turkish han
GUMS in their bright, m~ulti-colored
t~charshafs, feredjehs and yashmaks
were picturesque+n the highest de-
gree.
The ladies' Of the imperial harem
watched the races from their car
riages. The sultan al fatigued and
did not attend and his absence was a
great disappointment to performers
and spectators alike. Many Of the
diplomatic body were present or spe-
cially constructed platforms and large
numbers of the most elegant elements
OF the European quarter also attend
cd.
There were six races, and the high
est prize, 100 Turkish liras, was won
by Lieut.. Djelal Efendi, q smart Off
Ger who rode a beautiful Arab horse,
Zip-zip. There was also a steeple-
chase, in which only two omcers par
ticipated. and Rushdi-Bey proved the
winner.

keeping exact time and the inexperi-
enc OF the judges, will undoubtedly
be remedied on the next occasion

SO far as Is known, however. for
the first time wireless ~telegraphy has
been responsible for uniting two low
ing hearts that never would have met
had 1t not been for the mysterious
ether waves carrying messages OF
love and endearment.
The young man who has added
wireless to the aids to Cupid" Is
Arthur Barr of Elizabeth, N. J. For
more than q year he has been expert
menting with &c. Q. DIS" and other
signals with fellow amateur wireless
operators. Their experiments stopped
some time ago. Strange messages
from the direction OF Staten Island
was the cause. When Arthur de-
ciphered these he suspected there
was "a woman In tho case"
Bars suspicious proved correct. In
Mariners Harbor Elsie Shelton,
eighteen years old, had been tamper-
ing with the wireless apparatus which
her brother had rugged. By watching
him she had learned to send messages
and receive answers. She soon picked
up Bars "Marconlgrams" and trans
lated them into the language Of love.
The messages continued. The couple
met and Barr soon expects to make
Miss Shelton his wireless bride.
