Shortening the Hours.

There will have to be some way
found to quit. That is the big rea-
son why so many of the best boys and
girls go from the farm and so few
come back. Telephones automobiles,
pianos, books. community centers will
not avail unless time is found to en-
joy them. Years ago when prices

Menaueries of Old.

The habit of keeping wild animals in
confinement first appeared in the form
of sacred menageries. OF these dumb
deitias the OK and the serpent Were
chiefly popular, although certain cities
made q speciality of other kinds of ami
mails md reptiles. Such animals We're
kept and fed near the inner precincts
of temples. The sacred lion of Hello
polls vas domiciled in the temple of
the sun and had reserved for him the
best cuts of meat, while his meals were
eaten in the modern fashion, to the
accompaniment of music, Occasionally
some live animal was confined with
the lion, which attacked and devoured
it, Sacred erocodiles were SO highly
esteemed that they had collars round
their necks and rings on their claws
1t was the custom to feed these crea-
ures with cakes and scraps of meat,
for which they would come at call
Even now in Japanese temples SIM
liar fashion obtains, except that tor
tcises replace crocodiles.
In Egypt each menagerie had at
taehed to it plot of cultivated ground
whose yield snfficed for the nourish-
ment and up-keep of the animals. Par
ents when their children We're i'll.
would realize on their hair to buy Of
ferings to propitiate the sacred beasts.
The Athenians preferred more or less
dnmesticated animals as stock for their
menageries The Romans on the other
hand kept wild animals for fighting

ed private menageries and gave exhi-
billions of the animals at receptions,

Today the number Of menageries is
legion. But these establishments have

of entertainment. and it is sought to

WEAPONS FOR PARIS POLICE.

and Compressed Gas Grenades.

In their struggles against the fedoup'-
able Bonnet and GARNER gangs, particu-
larly in the famous siege OF Bonnet at
Choisy -Ie-Roi the Paris police We're
forced to depend for their defense upon
improvised cover--mattresses and cart

however, incessant experiment mas oeeh

New Jersey now had it's opportunity
to stand in the front rank of progress

upon which the whole country had set
its mind. In referring to the fight in
other states for Progressive legisla

sons present, lauded the efforts Of

WEARING SNAKE SKIN GOWNS.

For once fashion has taken a direction
which promises to be of general benefit
to humanity. Womankind. or at least
such as have access to the longest
purses, are shortly to use snake skin for
garments for quite everyday wear. One
can scarcely imagine a more poetic re-
venge by the daughters of Eve on their
old enemy, the serpent tempter.
Whether the new robes will prove as
artistic as is expected remains to be
seen. They Will certainly lend themselves
in skilful hands to the emphasizing of
whatever graccs there may be in the
person of the wearer, and if the fashion
thins out the number of these dangerous
reptiles all over the world humanity will
owe debt of gratitude to the inventor of
the new modes.
We may yet come to see python skin
sold by the yard over the dry goods
counters, for the python is big beast
occasionally reaching, when full grown
30 feet in length and a foot or more in
diameter Thus apparently, single skin
might supply enough stuff to make an
ordinary gown on modern lines. What
the cost will be one cannot yet say. 1t
will obviously be high, for serpents on
the largest size are not to be met with
every day.
The market price of skins. in view of
the coming demand, has already gone up
to a very high figure, and In Borneo, Su-

OF Turkish Armenian Districts Re-

London, Jan. 29.-The Constantinople
correspondent of the Chronicle learns
that the Porte's reply to the Powers will
express regret that it is impossible to
make further concessions
A well informed correspondent at Tlftis

of nearly 10000 men on the Turn,sh-Ar-
menian frontier. An Odessa dispatch t.
the Daily Mail reports that the ArIne-
mans of Bietlis, Van and Musho are APP
pealing for Russian aid through the Rus
sian consuls 1t is general believed, ac-

The Woman and the Tioht Skirt.

An ediet has come forth from Paris
to the effect that Women's dress skirts
must continue to be tight; certain of
those III New York who bow submits
Svely to Paris fashion dictation, have
undertaken to proclaim for the United
States compliance with this edict. In
the metropolis, however, and through
out the country. there is here aud there
pronounced dissent. American women.
Whose influence and example carry
great weight IN such matters are un-
derstood to be preparing to oppose the
Partisan tight skirt with vigor and per-
sistence. In this they are moved by
several important considera tons.
Whatever may have been the tight
skirt claim to consideration on the
score of novelty a year ago, it can
make no plea ON this ground now, for
it has become painfully common 1t
never appealed to taste. 1t never APP
pealed to comfort. 1t never appealed
to propriety. 1t is almost as unbc-
coming as it is inconvenient. From the
standpoint of sensible women, compel
led to wear it by the tyrant fashion, ii
is an imposition and a trial; from the
standpoint of men compelled to see
their women folk in it, it is grief and
regret
Moreover, it has no reason for being,
other than that it has the edict Of
Paris behind it, And why should Paris
be permitted to in6ict upon American
women a fashion that they do not like
Why cannot American women, 1t is
asked, be as independent in matters
of dress as they are in all other re-
spects? Especially, why should they
consent la make themselves look awk-
ward aud absurd, if not immodest, sim
ply because some self-appointed dicta-
tors of the mode insist that they shall
follow orders.
Just how far the revolt VIII 90. is
beyond saying, but there is no ques-
tioh as to the sympathy that will flow
toward the revolutionary movement.
Men. generally speaking, have been pa
tent and silent throughout this short
skirt ordeal, but if they are assured
that war has been determinedly de-
elared upon it by their sisters, they
win be more than ready with applause.
For inen like to see women at their
best, not at their worst And however
else the matter stands, we have no
doubt that the textile industry, to
which the narrow skirt has meant an
actual loss, Will lend its voice to cheer
American women to shape their styles
on broader basis.-Christian Science
Monitor
