There are places In the world where
women dress In mems clothing and

Even In Paris there are women

In Persia In some OF the interior
parts the women wear the strangest.

they cling 10 them In spite Of all eff

Then there are the Alpine dairy
maids. who dress as men when they
go about their work and look pretty.
if we are inclined 10 take evidence
from the numbers of men who yearly
persuade them 10 cast off their mascu-
line dress and put on more clinging
costumes. But then their eyes are so
bright and their cheeks so red that
they couldn't really look homely In
anything they might choose TO wear.
Again. far In the north. where IL Is

people dress 10 be comfortable and not

forced into trousers TO keep warm.
The ancient women warriors always
wore trousers. But their reasons were
purely military. Besides. they were

admirably.

They seem tremendously proud OF

DISAPPEARING GUNS.
Ease With Which These Coast Defense
Monsters Are Operated.


Three kinds OF big guns are used on
the coasts to defend us from hostile
invaders When n gun Is fired over
an embankment or parapet IL Is called
n barbette. The earliest guns were OF
this order. The parapets were notch
ed so that the firing could be done
over their top When the gun Is dis
charged through port or hole In the
embankment IL Is called n casemate.
The newest kind of heavy artillery Is
tho disappearing gun, which drops
back behind its wall as soon as 1t Is
discharged.
The man who aims the gun has a
little platform To one side OF the ma
chine. Things are arranged so that he
can control all operations of the gun
from where he stands. Electricity Is
used for bringing the gun up and get
ting 1t into position. and all the mech
anism can he regulated by the gun
ner. SO wonderfully is the big machine
under control that ii cannot be fired
by any person whomsoever unless IL is
raised up and In firing position. When
It Is not I'm firing position II Is called
"out of battery"
SO nicely is the gun mounted that all
It's great mass can be handled by two
men. From the time they start load

The Circle of Gold.

What a symbol of love is that circle OF
gold,
By the token of which our devotion
was told!
How our youthful affection shines out
as it seems;
In the light of the roIance around 1t
that CLEANS;
And it knows no beginning or ending
or why
Its continuing course should not run
till we die.
Id a sign of seal of our reverence
too,
Had part in our creed when that old
ring was new,
Where a slender, light hand was up
raised to our lips
And our kisses were pressed on its
slim finger tips,
For that circle of gold seemed hal
lowed pledge,
Of homage profounder than Wofos
can allege.
But the metal that's purest wears
quickest away,
And that old wedding ring has grown
thinner today;
Yet the hand which it graced graces
in its turn
With a magic the alchemist vainly
would learn.
For sweet chsrity's touch has so FILL
ed it with gold
That that hand never lacked to the
hungry and cold.
and the summer may come and the
summers may 60,
And the winters may whiten the hair
with snow;
Still the hand which lover delighted
to kiss
Wears the sign: of half of century's
bliss.
And no earnest of joy in the heavens
above.
Is more sure than that ring and its
cycle of loye.
w D. Ellwanger.

20 Per Cent Use Electricity

It was only about twenty years
ago that Thomas A. Edison opened his
first electric light station in the city of
New York and made it possible for
anyone to purchase electricity for
lighting purposes. Previous to that
time the electric lamp was merely
laboratory experiment, only few
streets were Illuminated at night with
arc lamps, not a trolley wheel was
turning and the electric motor could
not be called a commercial success.
Today nearly seventy per cent of
the people of this country are using
electricity in some form OF other, if it
is only by sending a telegram, using
the telephone or ringing the door bell.
No other industry in the world has
grown 80 fast as the electrical indus.
try. More than s10, 900, 900, 900 are in
vested in the business and nearly five
per cent of our population is engaged
in electrical work. The total annual
expenditure for electrical service,
apparatus and supplies in this country
is in excess of two billion dollars.
ELECTRICITY for light. power, heating
and cooking purposes is no longer con-
sidered luxury for the rich. They
are available for the humblest, at
prices within the reach of all.

GENERAL DEBATE IS DEFERRED
ON ACCOUNT OF ABSENCE OF

Will Be Large Surplus.

Washington.-With the submission
Of the report of majority members OF
the finance committee on the Under
woodISimmons tariff bill, formal con-
sideration of the measure was begun
in the senate, but continued few
minutes only because Of the unavoid-
able absence of Senator Simmons OF
North Carolina detained on account
of death in his family.
Senator Simmons will inaugurate
the debate with speech setting forth
the general views of the Democratic
majority and the needs for tariff re-
vision. Senator Cummins served no
tice he would speak On behalf Of the
minority and he may follow Senator
Simmons.
Republican senators in conference
reafnrmed Senator Gallinger Of New
Hampshire as their leader to assume
charge of the tariff debate, and
agree to support requests OF Repuo'
lians for record votes when desired
as amendments.
An average reduction of 27.64 per
cent under the rates of the existing
Payne-Aldrich tariff law is proposed
by the Democratic Underwood-Sim-
mons tariff bill which was reported to
the Senate.
The report shows the bill as re-
ported to the Senate provides rates
4 % per cent lower than the Under
wood bill as it passed the House and
that from it, together with other
Government receipts for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1914, there will
be an estimated surplus in the Gov

the board is: can act to authorize the
executive committee of the state board
of health to adopt, promugate and en-,
force rules and regulations for the
betterment and protection Of the pub
lie health"

sideration was the report Of the con-
dition of the sewerage system Of Ches-

ter due deliberation, the board con-
cluded to send a stare health officer
