MANY GERMAN WOMEN
COMMIT SUICIDE

BEKDIN. May ST Prussian sta
tistics give any idea OF the relative
proportion. then women must be
much fonder OF life than men, for
more than three men commit suicide
for every woman who takes her own
life. According to the Berlin cor
respondent Of the Lancet, the number
of suicides In Prussia showed q slight
decrease In 1911, when 81 cases were
registered for each 100000 Of the
population, as compared with 22 In
1910. The actual number Of persons
who took their own lives was 8.422,
OF whom 1894 were men and 2,0?S
were women.-London Standard.

WATERLOO, Ia.-"Live In the open
eat moderately, exercise regularly and
use tobacco II you feel like It,"
This was the advice given by Mrs
Isaac Spoons. OF Waterloo, 102 years
old, as she paused while on her way
TO a bargain sale. Mrs. Spoons had
walked more than a mile at the time
yet appeared fresh and active.
This little walk Is a mere STEP
Mrs. Spoons said, as she urged her
husband to hasten to the sale before
the rush started. The husband, seven
ty-three years old, found difficulty In
keeping the pace set by his wife. She
helped him up and down the curbings

Tea Once Luxury.

Tea was introduced into England
about the middle Of the seventeenth
century. when 1t was a great luxury
and fetched from $50 to $50 q pound.
Up to about 1885 the greater portion
of the tea imported into England
came from China; the bulk Is now OBJ
tanned from India and Ceylon. al

again working its way into favor.

MRS. GEORGE Won L. MEYER.
MRS. EDISON BRADLEY UN CEN.
TERI; AND PRESTON GIBSON.
Bradleys constitute one of the richest
and "smartest' families Of Washing
ton.
This sounds like bad beginning
as II the old social crowd were cap
turing the White House.
But 1t isn't,
These are exceptions. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson themselves
have not accepted single invitation
TO any sort OF social function, al
though they have been flooded with
them.
The Wilson's are believed to be feel
ing their way, but II Is difhcult way
of which they are almost entirely
ignorant. 1t is not surprising that
they have not been able Immediately
to classify the hundreds OF members
OF what has hitherto been the unQues-
toned best society" OF Washington.
The interesting thing Is whether they
will eventually pass up the social
toryism that is now trying SO hard to
engulf them or succumb to Its sub
tleties For that reason, everything
they do now socially is Of keen In
terest.

FESTIVAL RESEMBLES A RIOT
Remarkable Scenes Attending the
Muharram When 1t Is Held in
PopuIous Hindu City.

The festival of the Muharram at
Udaipur is always big with posi-
bilities of trouble. One-fourth of the
population is Mohammedan, the other
three-fourths are mainly Hindu, and
the Mewar Hindu is distinctly of the
vigorous type. The day is made a
general holiday, and the scores of tall
policemen have a busy time.
We were given seats on the roof of
one of the lower structures connected
with the temple of Jagannath, so the
time of waiting was comfortably pass
ed In fact, it was all too short, for
each moment offered it's own enter
tainment, although one needed little
besides the throng itself, filling the
square and overlooking to the neigh
boring balconies and roofs.
Just beneath us was an athletic eX.
hibition-dancing tumbling and what
not. At one point an old Hajput war
rior entered the circle, and calling
three boys from the crowd, babe them
lie down. When an apple had been
placed on each little brown neck the
swordsman, never interrupting the
rhythmic dance, Glove each apple with
his flashing blade; and the unaffright
ed youngsters ran back gleefully to
their friends.
Just when a Western crowd might
have been growing impatient we heard
the beating of drums and clashing Of
swords mingled with the wild cries
of the devotees. Soon the procession
poured into the square. Surely If
ever festival was calculated to rouse
men to fanatical madness, it was this.
AS every one knows, the Muharram
commentaries the death of the grand
sons of the prophet; and over all is
heard the piercing cry of, "Hasan!
Husaini" The drums roar madly;
wild-eyed priests beat their breasts;
another group brandishes cleaning
swords But the tall policemen keep
them from tarrying long in any one
spot, and the tazZias move slowly past.
In front of the foremost bier we no
ticed man rolling over and over
along the rough road, while his friends
famed him in his evident distress. 1t
was simply the fulfilment of a vow.
The poor wretch had prayed that
man child be vouchsafed him, swear.
ing to go to the whole route of the
procession with his hands and feet
tightly bound if only his cry was
hear. The boy had come, and he was
paying the price. Ever the cry for the
man child.-F B. r. Hellems, in Har

Road Commissioners Meeting

The county meeting of the Road Com
missioners, held at Hyde Park on We'd
nesday of last week, was one of the best
meetings of the kind ever held in this
county. 1t is regretted that there was
not larger attendance. However, those
| who did attend were greatly repaid by
gaining much important information con-
, corning roads. State Highway Commits
sioner Gates was in attendance and i'm
parted much valuable information.
In the morning Commissioner Gates
talk was of general nature, and dealt
broadly with the problems which all or
most of Vermont road builders and
supervisors must face.
At the afternoon session stereopticon
slides were used to illustrate talks by
Commissioner Gates and d. III. Winslow
of Washington, D. C. These views illus
trated many common defects in the con-
struction and maintenance of Vermont
roads. Emphasis was placed on the most
common and disastrous defect, in lack of
proper drainage, resulting in the washing
away of the road bed. Many views were
shown illustrating roads, built under
sloping cliffs, yet so thoroughly drained
that no bad effects resulted from the
necessarily bad location. The good
offices of ditch and a few well placed
culverts was insisted upon by both
speakers.
The necessity of leaving a sufficient
"crown" on a road to prevent it's wear
ing down fat and deteiorating was
brought out by slides and short add esses.
Commissioner Gates gave short vigor-
Gus talk on matters touching the work of
a town commissioner. He declared some
town commissioners wanted state aid for
work on state roads, yet would not do
this work under the supervision of the
state authorities. He said each town
commissioner must patrol state roads
every two weeks when the ground is bare
of . cN,f io ,altc.a ,eoO-Ii'iDu. TIE
fact that it is maintenance the state pays
town commissioners for, and maintenance
all the year round, instead of work dur
ing two or three months year, and in
activity the other nine months, was
brought out. Mr.. Gates also asked his
hearers to begin work on the roads early
in the spring, and roll and repair them,
before they become baked and rutted.
The state highway commissioner ex-
planned number of matters to the meet
ing, including the customs governing the
granting of automobile money" the
financial relations between. state and town
on the road question, and the powers and
responsibilities conferred upon town road
commissioners by recent legislation.

The Pole Star.

Any clear night look at the dipper
or Great Bear and in a direct line
from the two first stars in the quad
rilateral of this constellation measure
with the eye about five times the dis
lance between them in a straight line
and you will locate a luminary lit
tie brighter than it's neighbors. This
is the pole star. Automatically
speaking, there are no fixed stars. So
called fixed stars are supposed to be
the suns of other systems of worlds,
themselves performing immense revo-
lutions through the fields of space.
However, of all the bodies which scin.
hllate in the starry night the only
one that remains motionless or seems
is the pole star. At any
moment of the year. day or night its
station remains unchanged All other
stars, on the contrary, turn in twen-
ty-four hours around it. taken as the
center of the mighty vortex. For this
reason it is the most important star to
in determining their course.
