FEMININE FOIBLES.

Feminine foibles and motions are past finding

of the question why a heavy woman should

complicated problem of why abe should aspire

1t Is a fact known to those who have had
occasion for experience that somehow there is
more dead weight to than to a man
registering the same number of pounds on the
scales Maybe there is less spring to her and
she sits harder and relaxes more completely
However that may be. this special heavy woman
succeeded in having her picture taken. crushing
the flying machine out of shape and costing

happiness OF showing the photograph TO her

COTTON WASTE.

The department of agriculture has under way
a campaign to prevent enormous annual losses
to the cotton producers through the practice
of certain ginners of mixing various staple
cottons In the same bale The fault 1t seems
lies largely with the ginner. and results from
the fact that he Is unwilling to take the time
after ginning one kind of cotton. to clean out
the ginning machines before he introduces
another staple. AS result, the first layer or
previously ginned If the cotton being ginned
Is long staped. the mixture of short cotton in
this first plate or layer will lessen the value
of the bale from $3.50 to $500. even though there
is only about twenty pounds affected.
The reason for this loss. which is sustained
by the owner and does not in any instance come
out OF the pocket Of the ginner, Is that the cot
ton merchants sample from each side OF the
bale and rate 1t by the worst SIDE so that
such bale would be rated mixed" whereas
$50 pounds OF it might be long staple and only
the first layer OF about ten to twenty pounds OF
mixed cotton Even II the second run of. cot
ton is short staple, 1t loses in value by having
its first layer mixed with any other kind OF
cotton.
| The departments chief suggestion as to a
remedy for this condition is that the cotton
growers in the country limit their cotton grow
ing to one variety, or else provide themselves
with see cotton storage houses in which cotton
OF a single staple is stored Where storage
houses are used. the cotton producer can take a
large quantity at one time to the gin and be Ger
tain that 1t will not be mixed with previous runs
Where, however, he only takes a small quantity
al time, all these bales may have first
layer OF mixed cotton.

WHY TRY SUICIDE.

AS The Richmond Vtrgtntan predicted would
happen. the Mexican situation has reached a
very delicate and serious stage and threatens
to become acute There is reason to fear that
the administration has failed to realize the
character and characteristics of the people with
whom II is dealing. The most dangerous sug,
gestion vet made seems to be favored by strong
influence in Washington 1t Is that We with
draw all restrictions on shipments from this
country Of arms and ammunition, into Mexico,
recognize the present Eepalgteaists -ball4g
erents and allow them to buy here all the war
equipment for which they can pay. At the
best for ourselves the result Of this would be
to incfte and enable the Mexicans TO kill each
other more rapidly than ever. 1t would be like
putting twoinch deadly steel gafs on the heels
of two cocks In a pit and standing by to watch
the consequences. Cock fighting Is forbidden
In this country by law. To provide some thou
sands OF human beings with the means for de-
stroying life and property would hardly be in
accord with the philanthropic, altrustic and
peaceful principles heretofore announced by our
government Considering also. that our OWE

CURRENT COMMENT
Skirts and Pants.

Why do men wear pants and the women
skirts? This is ancient history. In prehistoric
Greece, twenty odd centuries before our era,
when man began to enter an of civilization.
II became necessary TO make some distinction
in the dress of the sexes, which had been up to
that time much the same; and 1t finally
decided to refer the matter to q commission of
ten venerables who solved the problem in the
following manner:
An hundred of the youth OF both sexes
was chosen from the best families, and they
were ordered each in turn to march around
a circle in large Enclosure. The report OF the
commission was to the effect that the march
ing and demeanor of the males attrac-
tive and perfect that they recommended that
each leg should have separate cover in order
that the admirable bearing of man in his move

sderation to the performance of the female
culars thereof. OF the 100. 81 marched with
their toes turned inwardly; of these, 40 were
Ianected in the left foot, 81 in the right and 20
In both feet But three of the lot showed per

I97 imperfects had the heels Of their shoes worn
