Present Mayor Partially
Substantiated.

New York, Aug. 30.-The local political
pot is expected to come to boil during
the coming week when the several nomI-
mating committees will complete their
tickets. Despite the fact that Mayor
Gaynor as yet has not declared his can
didacy for reelection, those in charge
of his campaign are busily engaged in
perfecting an organization.
The independence League leaders are

their ticket. Tammany Hall. having put

leader. J. B. Cartwright, a member of the

WHY THERE ARE MORE
WOMEN THAN MEN
From the London Tit-Bits.

FROM tne LONDON Tlt-BNG
The fact that in almost all civilized
countries women outnumber men has
been ascribed to the higher birthrate OF
girl babies; yet statistics show that 10;
boys are born to every 100 girls. Accord.
ing to figures compiled by a European
statistician. the girl has a better chance
than the boy of attaining maturity.
He finds that from the third to the
fifteenth year the mortality of both sexes
is the same: from the fifteenth to the
nineteenth year. the critical age for girls,
the girls chances are slightly better than
the boys; from the thirtieth year to the
thirty-fifth year the mortality among
women is smaller than among men, and
IL continues smaller until the SEVENTEEN
year. Then for a decade and a half the
sexes once more have the same chance
of survival but above eighty-five years
Of age woman again stands a much
better chance than man.
To account for this difference the stat
istician points out that woman has
greater residence in shaking off disease
than man. 1t is true that the physical
strength Of man Is greater than woman's
but a woman's power of endurance is
more robust.
one reason Tor this Is that woman pos
sesses a finer perception of her power
of endurance than a man, and when
her perception warns her of fatigue she
stops. man does not stop until his
power is exhausted. His nervous system
is not as finely organized as a wonan's,
and as Mosso, the Italian Psychologist,
has pointed out, men and women are
entirely dependent upon their nerves for
caution not to over-exert While IL is
true that women more easily contract
many diseases, particularly nervous and
mental diseases. than men, they over
come them with sraafar aasA

HERBS HAVE PLACE IN COOKING
From the Country Gentleman.

| From the Country Gentleman.
Every herb has a definite place In cook
cry. and although their use has grown
| obsolete among modern American cook:
they are used more than ever in France
Italy and England. In our big city
markets they are found for the accom-.
mediation OF the foreign trade and also
OF our own epicureans, who realize the
value OF their subtle fiavors Women
old in years and wisdom can always give
few hints as to their uses, while old
family manuscript cookbooks and quaint
kitchen manuals of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries give full directions
how to use and gather them.
All herbs are at their best when fresh;
despite care, much OF the flavor disap-
pears when they are dried. The term
sweet herbs" or fines herbes. as the
French say, includes sage. balm, mar
joram, basil, summer savory, chervil and
bundle Of bouquet of these herbs is
often used.
AS a general rule sage should be used
with heavy meats such as pork, sausage
goose, and duck. Marjoram, savory, and
thyme are more delicate and should be
used with meats OF mild flavor, such as
chicken, turkey. partridge and spuab.
Spearmint or mint has been used since
time immemorial with lamb, and is now
often used sparingly in fruit salad, COM
bining particularly well with oranges
and bananas. Occasionally a sprig is
served in iced TED, orangeade or lemon
ade, while mint ice is a refreshing sum
mer dish.
Several may be termed salad herbs. as
they are often combined with salad
greens. In this list may be enumerated
chervil. parsley, tarragon, burnet and
chives. Chervil has a pleasant pungent
taste. Tarragon is well known in vine
gar OF that name Burnet tastes like
Chives have the flavor of

able accompaniment of salad in the
eighteenth century, and has recently been
revived. 1t consists Of finely minced

FASHIONABLE BAGS.

| Many Of the smart automobile bags
are in pigskin, and this leather enjoys
decided vogue for shopping bags of the
more practical type. Some Of these pig
skin bags are very capacious In size and
a majority are simple of form, contain
| ing merely purse and card case, though
| others have the vanity equipment
Bags to match costumes are made
up OF taffeta and embossed velvet, and
are most effective when made in the
! simple, unornamented form with good
| mounting.
Moire in exquisite colorings and quality
is another material often made up with
cut trimming, and plain satin is much
used, though so many cheap bags in
this material have been put upon the
market that the fastidious are inclined
to pass il by unless there is come very
original note in shape or mounting.
All of these untrimmed materials are
made up in the various envelope and
other fiat shapes. without metal, and
also in more or less expensive metal
mounted forms. Some OF the fiat bags
which show no metal whatever on the
outside, are SO beautifully finished and
fitted within that their prices are very
high.
Exertmely chic envelope purses or bags
OF linen, moire, &c, are made up with
tie narrow, flexible gold borders, which
are familiar in connection with handsome
leather purses, wallets, &c, and these,
in white handwoven linen, is one of the
latest Partisan fads.
Embroidered linen bags are offered in
many shapes and is as many degrees OF
smartness, some being treated quite as
carefully IN matters OF finish. mount
ings, &c, as though they were OF gor-
geous material. Colored linen, embroid-
cred with a touch OF Bulgarian en-
hrOidery, makes some effective bags for
individual costumes, but the one-tone
color is, Of course, more practical for
general use. and some of the handsome
bags of real Irish lace filet or other bold
lace, are even better for general sum-
mer use than the embroidered linens,
though some of the latter can be used
with simple frocks, where a handsome
lace bag might be out of tune

ROBUST BODY A RE-

From the Spokesman Review.

From the Spokesman Review.
The strong mind generally demands a
sound and vigorously body through
which to work. The spiritual force in a
frail physique may at times strike with
rare effectiveness, but greatness itself
recognizes that poor health and weak
bodies form heavy handicaps. Addison,
Bacon, Beecher, Carlyle, Franklin, Locke,
Moliere, Montaigne, Plato, Spencer, and
Wesley are among the many distin-
guished men who have commented elo-
quently on the value of health and
strength.
There is an inspiration In the knowledge
of what successful doers of the worlds
work have achieved, even when physi-
cally disqualified, but it is disheartening
to realize how much more humanity
would have been enriched had these
workers mental energies BEEN unham-
pered. Given two men of fine intellectual
equipment, but one man physically Infe-
rtor to the other, then the latter is more
likely than the former to do drst-ciass
