M EW YORK.-Perhaps no other city
~ in the world quite equals New
York In the great diversity Of its pop
ulation and in the variety of the in.

tention. Constantinople would seem
to be the only rival In New York
pretty much every civilized nation has
Its representation There are gath
cred Jews. Italians. Greeks, Poles. Ar
menians. Chinese, Hungarians and so
on. Many nationalities not only
have representation, but they have
lsrge ones. There are today undoubt-
edly many more Jews In New York
than evr had permanent residence In
Jerusalem at any given time. They
constitute about one-sixth. OF the g.
100000 Of population.
So It comes about that New York
Is not typical American city. It is
too crowded with people who do not
have typical American conditions In
their homes, who do not have Ameri-
can ideals before them and who do
not go about their duties with the
American spirit. In brief, New York
is thronged with muItitudes who are
living In different age Of the world
and who are dominated by other ideas
Of morality. duty and the like. Their
ideas OF cleanliness are not those OF

n HICAGO.-Chicago has the Oldest
u street car conductor and the old
est street car motorman In the world
both in age and point Of service.
They are Michael Moran, sixty-six
years old, conductor. and Patrick
Brady, sixty-five years old. motorman.
They started driving the same car In
1864 and are still working together on
West Sixty.third street, from Central
Park avenue to Fifty-sixth avenue.
Their first car was an old bus
mounted on trucks and hauled by
horses. That was soon after Chicago
adopted street cars" Within a few
years from then the first regular horse
cars were operated In Chicago. and
the old buses were abandoned. Then
Moran and Grady got a regular run
on State street.
Moran and Grady have worked on
all OF the old routes. and. with the ex'
ception OF short periods, never have
been separated since they started.
For a year after the fire OF 1871
they were separated, and after Grady

q Alfred Tennyson Dickens from far
away Australia plunges Boston fem.
ininity into gloom by observing that in
respect to ankles "the beefy sort
greatly outnumber those graceful ap-
pendages that linger 30 much longer
In mans memory" says the Boston
Globe This is one of the effects Of
the recent rainy weather. and is not
to be taken too seriously Besides. so
far az our observation goes. The criti.
cism is grossly exaggerated, npt to
say unfounded MIR Dickens must
have poor vision or perhaps he spent
all his time In the shopping district
where. to be frank. the display OF an
kles Is very prosaic Our women who
are striving to be beautiful Of course
viii feel downcast over the unartistic
picture that Mr. Dickens frames. Our
ladies are accustomed to reduce their
weight or Increase their avoirdupois.
AZ the case may be, to become more
Venusiike, but nobody yet has ever ad'
vertised an ankle-reducing emporium,
nor does II seem possible that such an
establishment could operate to advan-
tage. Probably this Dickens man. a
perfect Shylock on fashion, would sug.
gest that a pound Of flesh be taken
from each ankle. SO that It might lin.
ger longer In bis memory. n,

Nurses Find Cupid in the Sick Room

Z INDIANAPOLIS, lnd.-The trained
] nurse appears to play more prom
inent part In the romantic news of the
day than any other professional WON
an. Hardly a day passes but the news
papers chronicle some marriage, will,
love affair or litigation In which a
trained nurse figures. Miss Eleanor
Peregrine, who nursed Walter e. Dur
yea. the New York youth with bro
ken neck for twelve years. is, by
agreement among the Duryea rela-
tives, to receive the 100000 bequest
left her In his will. Miss Ida Corey
Murphy. who nursed Chalmers Dale, q
stock exchange broker, two years.. is
suing for $4,000 for her services. be-
cause Mr.. Dale didn't remember her in
his will. The mari. age Of John Eller-
ton Lodge. son of United States Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge, to Miss Car
rie Catherine Connolly. trained nurse
who attended him year, Is another
proof that Venus in q nurses cap and
gown Is q most enticing siren.
Charles e. Halliwell, of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, married Miss
Ruth Alice Cole, who had been sum
moned to nurse him in New York city
after a~severe operation In 1906. The
following year he died, leaving her Q
fourth OF his $5.000.000 estate.
Thomas Caldwell, q Pensacola. Fla
recluse, left his $4,000 estate to Miss
Annie Burkhart, who nursed him for
two years. ]. B. Currier of Lowell
Mass, left similar fortune to Nora
Hessian, who had watched by his bed.

Women Said to Be Real Home Wreckers

U ANSAS CITY. Mo.-Woman. not
N man, Is the real home-wrecker. ac-
cording to statistics that are being
compiled from the divorce court rec
ords OF the state OF Kansas. So far
as the statistics show. 80 per cent. OF
the divorce suits now pending are
brought by wives, while virtually the
same percentage OF the suits are
brought on so-called trivial charges,
such as incompatibility Of temper, quar-
rels and other allegations which do
not charge infractions OF the moral or
civil laws.
Previous statistics show that In
Jackson county, in which Kansas City
Is, there were three suits for divorce
filed for every five marriage licenses
issued, and this startlingly high per-
centage prompted an investigation In
60 divorce statistics. 1t was found that
while 80 per cent. Of the plaintiffs
were women and 80 per cent. OF their
suits were brought on trivial charges,
that less than 10 per cent. OF the suits
fled by the men were based on the
trivial charges, while 30 per cent were
based on the more serious charges OF
desertion, immoral conduct or neglect

LIGHT IS SPREADING
PEOPLE EVIDENTLY CONSIDER.
ING TARIFF NuEsrIoN.
Recent Eiectlons Clearly Presage Vic
tory for the Democratic Party
Going Into Battle for the
Rights Of the People. y,

State elections In the on years Of
ten show very different results from
the pronouncements Of general cleo
tions. but this cannot be regarded as
an OF year for obvious reasons. The
tariff IL quite as much at Issue In
the present election as It can be In
1912. for there is disposition In
every manufacturing state to show to
the national administration the at
titude of the people toward the
Payne-AIdrich tariff. Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island are states common
ly recognized rs irrevocably welded
to high protection. Senator Lodge
IL one OF the foremost Of the un-
plucked reactionaries since the pass
ing OF Aldrich and Hale. and, as
chief representative Of the protected
interests Of his state, there can be
no doubt but he brought every possi
BILE influence to bear in the election
Just held. The attitude Of Massachu-
sets this fall Is reasonably assured
to afford forecast as to what It's
attitude will be In the next general
election. 1t Is therefore quite remark
able that Eugene N. Foss should
have been elected at all. Such com
fort as the standpat element in the
federal government can derive from
his diminished plurality should not be
begrudged. for It is but chilly COM
fort It poses the state Of Massa-
chusetts in the most hopeful states
to be counted in the next national
election.
Rhode Island gives an increased
Republican majority, which is not to
be wondered at. because an over
whelming majority Of the electors are
residents of It's chief manufacturing
city and many thousands are mill
operatives from foreign lands. who
are subject to the influence Of the
men wh& operate the Industries and
care very\little about politics except
as they think II concerns their Jobs
nnd their wages. The solemn assur-
ance Of the mill owners that any
abatement OF the tariff will mean a
cut In wages and possible shutdown
OF the mills will stampede them like
sheep into the political fold Of their
employers. The anti.tarin wave has
evidently not abated.

HINTS ABOUT LAUNDRY WORK
How to Starch Dark MaterIais--To
Z Clean Greasy Pleces--useful
Soap Shredder.

Starching Dark Materials-All black
lawn. percale and calico dresses. dark
tan and dark blue ones should be
dipped in starch In which a cupful OF
clear coffee and a lump OF white wax
have been boiled. The coffee will give
to the material the original dark fin
ish which. is so often destroyed by
washing. and the wax will prevent the
starch from sticking to the irons.
For Greasy Pieces-A tablespoonful
OF kerosene added to the water In
which any greasy pieces are to be
washed will help materially In remov-
ing the dirt; rub soap directly on the
worst spots and let the garrr ents soak
for short time In soapsuds to which
the oil has been added. and then
wash. "
A Useful Soap Shredder-Take .
piece OF strong tin, pound small nail
holes all over 1t, then tack firmly to
the sides OF two pieces OF strong
wood; loop of leather at the top by
which to hang It up. and you will
have useful soap shredder. Shred
ded soap dissolves more quickly than
larger pieces.
