PLACES WHERE WOMEN DRESS
As MEN, AND VICE VERSA.
Alpine Dairy Maids, at Their Work,
Wear Masculine Dress, as Do the
Females In the Extreme North
-~Brlgands In Skirts.

There r places in the world
where women dress in mems clothing
and men don women's apparel. .
Even in Paris there are women
dressed In cheap, coarse, masculine at
tire, working as teamsters and day
laborers. While 1t is against the law.
the police wink at the fact and allow
them to earn ~peaceably their daily
wages. l.
In Persia, in some. of the interior
parts, the women veal the strangest,
oldest trouser garments. They seem
to like them, too, from the fact that
they cling to them in spite Of all eff
forts to make them don feminine at
tire. 81.
Then there are the Alpine dairy
maids who dress as men when they
go about their work and look pretty,
II we are inclined TO take evidence
from the numbers of men who yearly
persuade them to cast off their mas
culine dress and put on nor cling
Ing 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 wea
Again, far In the NORTH where 1t is
freezing cold most of the time, and peo-
pie dress TO be comfortable and not
TO look pretty, the women are actual
.ly forced iEto trousers to keep warm.
The ancient women warriors always
wore trousers. But their reasons were
half masculine in manner and appear
ance, and dressed to accentuate their
qualities. They had to make them
selves into fierce looking creatures to
terrify the men on the opposing side.
and from all accounts they succeeded
admirably.
AS for the stronger sex, there still
seem to be men in existence who
wear women's garb and enjoy 1t. In
certain parts of Greece, Spain, and
Albania there are bands OF desperate
brigands who, when they are decked
out for attacks on strangers or neigh
bors, look for all the world like grand
opera ballet girls. in their short,
brightly colored skirts, which are
made very full. and sometimes even
RULED a bit. They seem tremendous
ly proud of their attire, and rival
bands strive to surpass each other In
yividness OF patterns and newness OF
styles.

Peroxide Of Hydrogen.

Within recent years no remedy has
come into such general use as perox-
ide of hydrogen, the consumption OF
which has reached enormous proper
tions. In this section OF the country
there Is an especially great demand
for its use as a gargle for colds and
catarrhs, as we'll as a toilet prepare
tion and as an a~ntiseptic In connec-
ton with surgical operations. The
New York Pharmaceutical Era calls
attention to the fact that II is an UNI
stable and widely variant product and
that its sale should be closely super
sised; that the manufacturer should
be compelled to indicate on the label
the use for which it is intended and
be required to stamp Gas it deterior-
ates with age) the date Of manufac-
ture. In most makes of peroxide of
hydrogen there is an addition of acct
an-ilide. as a preventative. This is
dangerous, and is said to be an UNI
necessary addition.

IRON BEARING Plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity Of
iron carried in certain plants, with a
view to the effect on the human sys-
tenn when those plants are used as
food. Artifcially prepared foods con-
tanning iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron
Is not completely assimllated This
difficulty, 1t Is thought, may be avoid
ed by causing plants to take up an in
creased quantity of iron during their
natural growth. By adding hydrate Of
iron to the soil In which 1t was grow
ing, the experimenters have succeeded
in producing spinach CONTAINING a per-
centage OF iron seven times as great
as that found in ordinary spinach. II
Is believed that the process will prove
s~iccessful with other ferruginous
plants.
