Flower Fashion.

Roses are best for evening wear.
Even II they are buds, do not wear
three or four of them; that would

blown rose and tuck 1t into the coil
Of your hair, letting 1t nestle close to

WOMEN STRONGER THAN MEN
Much More Tenacious of Life and
Less Likely to Succumb to
Disease.

More boys than girls are born every
year. but every census return shows
that there are more women than men.
The apparent contradiction is eA-
planned by the theory that women are
much more tenacious of life than men.
that they have tougher organisms, and
are less likely to succumb to disease.
Men are prodigal of vital force,
whereas women conserve 1t, preserve
it, and as a result women will often
recover from ailments that are fatal
to men. A woman Of forty has 7S
chances to one against dying within
the year, while the chances of man
are only 49 to one.
These figures are based upon Eng.
lsh actuarial tables, but they are sus
tanned by calculations In other coun-
tries. An English sociologist, after
extensive investigation, estimated that
if 1000 men and 1000 women, each OF
average weight and build, and practi.
cally equal training, were armed and
equipped for battle, and started on a
long forced march, probably 80 per
cent of the men would reach their
destination.
OF the remaining ten per cent. six
would die from exhaustion and four
recover. On the other hand, only Is
per cent. of the women would COM
plete the march, but none would die.

TWO BOYS--A PIANO PLAYER

Two Richmond boys had attained
the age when they could be trusted TO
run the piano player.
The music library included ragtime,
popular music and classical selections.
Not a word was said to the children
as to what they should play but they
were left to browse at will in the
lowered meadows of melody.
At first their execution was me-
chanical and noisy. But little by lit
tie they learned better and reveled in
the power to give delicacy and ex-
preston. as far as they understood it.
In the little while, as is always the
case, certain numbers became favor
ties. 1t interested the mother very
much to observe that a large proper
ton of these were of the better class
music.

Are You
Prepoyant?
Are YOU prevoyant

Are you prevoyant
Sounds like a disease, doesn't it?
One of the 1914 models that doctors
now have about ready.
But it is nothing of the kind. 1t
means fore-sighted, prudent.
1t is prevoyance when you decide
that your shoes had better go to the
cobbler before they have gone too far.
They do not yet need mending, it is
true. But very shortly they are going
to. The mending will be a better job
done now than after they have actually
broken. Wisdom gained from past ex-
periences has taught you this. There
fore, you send them away.
Prevoyance is a good thing to have
in all departments of life.
Not to fear the future, but to pre-
pare for it by doing today that which
is needful is to best insure the days
to come.
The prevoyant man is rarely found
looking for a job. He does not lose
the one he has for the reason that he
saw things coming and shaped his
course accordingly
The prevOyant hOusekeeper is not
the one rushing distractedly about
when unexpected company arrives.
The emergency did not catch her I'M
prepared. For a corner stocked for
such an OCCASION she plucks forth the
delicate canned soup, the conserve, the
timed crackers, the various sweets
and sours which transform an every
day sort of repast into something ap-
propriate for visitors.
Prevoyance causes one to be known
as "a good manager" Lack of it even
tuates in hurry. confusion, loss.
Why not cultivate prevoyance?

the transcription of Alice, Where Art

tial Flying Cavalry" was most salts
flying. Naturally. Sousa's marches
were prime favorites.
The proper pronunciation of COM
posers names was something about
which they were timid. This was,
doubtless. a boys horror of affecta-
ton. Chopin. for instance. seemed
much more readily pronounced pho
netically than when given its rightfuI
sound. But eventually they grew out
of this fear.
The use of the piano player served
to encourage and help them with their
musical instruction. Because they
knew little about all the good and de-
light which lay ahead of them they
found the rudimental work much cas-
Ter.
The piano player also familiarized
them with the best music and with the
varying styles of the different CON-
posers. Even these small boys could
name nearly any selection they heard
when they happened to be present
when good music was played.

sic.

The Sausage.

The sausage dates back to the year
S9I. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manufac-
tured sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding of the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs OF
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen
fury that sausage made OF hashed pork
became known. 1t was in or near the
year 1900 that. thanks to the introduc-
ton into Germany OF cinnamon and
saffron. the sausages Of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired a universal rspu-
tation.
