Boat Hits q Bridge.

Leavenwonrth, Kan, Dec q
Joseph Heavy was seriously injured
and two others received bruises when
the steamboat Leavenworth was
blown against the pivot span of the
Terminal bridge. The span had been
opened to allow the boat to pass
through and the gang of men had
started to close it by means of the
pivot lever. The strong wind carried
the boat back against the moving span
and, when it struck, the pivot bar
was spun around rapidly. Heavy
John Stock and Edward Gorsckwitz
were struck by the bar and dashed
against the steel railing of the bridge.

Department an Aid to Housewives

Commercial industries were long
ago studied by scientific methods,
since 1t was found that gaining knowl-
edge by experience was much more
costly than gaining It by systematic
study. 1t is only lately that we have
come to realize that it is equally
profitable to study the housekeepers
problems.
Fifty years ago few such ques-
tions had been taken to the labota-
tory and few schools gave instruction
in such subjects. Today very many
men and women of scientific training
have taken the home problem to the
laboratory and are finding ways of
helping the housekeeper to solve her
problems satisfactorily.
The department Of agriculture has
studied many questions which relate
to the use of agricultural products on
the farm and in the home, but per-
haps none Of them has a closer re-
lation to the household than the nu-
triton investigations of the office OF
experiment stations, which have to do
with the use Of agricultural products
as human foods and whose object is
to help the housewife in her efforts
to provide good living at reasonable
cost, without undue labor"

Turkey Trot New? Danced 500 Years in Borneo

1T WILL be news to many doubtless
that the much-criticised turkey
trot" has been danced to the rain god
of a savage tribe in the north Of Bor-
neo for more than five hundred years.
Several young women of one Of Wash
ington's exclusive circles were as
founded when Prof Edward David
son, a Washington dancing master,
made this statement to them during
@ lecture on the history Of dancing.
Professor Davidson said that the
"trot" is one of the holy of holies
in the religion of the savage Muruts.
When there comes a prolonged dry
spell these head-hunting natives per-
form the trot day in and day out until
the great rain god has heard their
prayers. The professor visited the
north of the island several years ago
He says he saw them dance around
the image OF the god an entire night.
During the latter part of the
eighteenth century the turkey trot
was introduced into the dancing
schools of Italy and Portugal, and
soon everybody was doing it. In the
first part Of the nineteenth century
1t gradually died out.
