FREE MINDS AND FREE ANKLES.

No man really understands woman.
but some men have sense enough to
perceive their own ignorance. To these
latter certain phases of the current
discussion of modern feminine attire
must be rather exasperating, says the
Charleston News and Courier Most
particularly so must be those disqul
sitions in which we are gravely in
formed that modern styles are what
they are because woman has at last
determined to be sensible in matters
of dress. Here, for instance, Is Lon
don Opinion explaining the slit skirt
made inevitable free ankles" and
stating that girls are no longer con-
tent to be tied up like bales of cotton
as they were in the good old days Of
the hobble skirt. Could ignorance OF
the feminine mind be more Grass or
more blatant? How the dear ladies
must laugh when we inform them that
their object in wearing slit skirts is
to secure greater freedom Of action
for their neither limbs! We must all
live and learn, and couple of years
from now those who form the chry-
sails of convention and adopting sen
sible" styles in matters of dress will
see what idiots they have been. By
that time, it is tolerably safe to as
sumo, womaa will be bundled up again
as securely and uncomfortably and
becomingly as ever.

NEW STYLES FOR MEN.

Is the wave of absurd and objec
tionable costume to overwhelm US all,
regardless of sex? Now that the dress,
makers have done their worst with
the women, are the tailors getting
ready to do their worst with the men?
The edicts of the late session of local
marchant tailors rouse some such ap,
prehension. Mems clothes have been
loose and long and as athletic as
stufting could make them. Enter now
the day of the short, the close the
scanty and skinny, with hints of slash
ed trousers, queer vests and other dis.
quieting novelties, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. The advanced among
us will be promoted to become more
advanced and daring, while the timor-
GUS and those who would be like
other men" will be dragooned into sub
lection. The more thoughtful among
the victims will decide that the con-
siderations at present governing the
trade" are not esthetic, but CONNER
cial, and will see in the sensational
new flop an attempt to put last years
clothes decisively out of date and to
bring liberal expenditures all round
on the accredited novelties. The
sturdy conservative will fall back on
a standard costume which is neither
too far ahead not too far behind, and
will smile, as before. at the vagaries
themselves out to be up to the minute
at any cost.

ALFALFA.

One Of the most notable recent. de-
velopments In agriculture Is the
spread of alfalfa. Alfalfa has been
the basis of irrigated farming in the
Rocky mountain region for years. 1t
yields the richest hay known, and
yields more Of 1t than almost any
other plant. 1t can be cut three times
a year, and four or five tons to the
acre Is a fair average crop. Like all
other clovers, it enriches the soil; but
alfalfa roots go much deeper than
those of common clover, and the fer
tility they store lasts longer. All
these good qualities have been known
for long time, but until recently
there has been a persistent super
stition that alfalfa would not grow in
this, that or the other locality, says
the Chicago Journal Recent expert
ments seem to show that alfalfa can
be grown in any part of the United
States, provided the soil is sweet
ened" with lime. and in some cases
inoculated with bacteria. This Is
troublesome, to be sure, but alfalfa Is
worth a little trouble. AS a restorer
of worn out farms it has no rival
Some famous German vineyards On
the Rhine practice a 50-year rotation
of crops The old vines are grubbed
out of piece Of tired" land, and al
falfa is planted. This is left for five
years, when 1t is turned under, and
new vines set out on the carefully pnl-
verized soil. In five years more the
vines are bearing, and continue TO
produce for four years, when they give
place to alfalfa again.

Turtles delight to bring home from

Visitors to Doncester buy the local

LIE 8resil Economique of Rio de ia
neiro, intoxicating the necessity of
bathing, not merely as means of
cleanliness, but for health and
strength, recalls the baths of Greece
and Rome: "One knows" says this
pleader, the story of Phryne, the
beautiful model of the Cnidian Venus
for Craxiteles. Menaced with Danish.
ment, she waited her judges at the
bath to defend herself. When they
saw her half out of the water, wiring.
ing the water from her marvellous
locks, they decided with the people Of
Athens they could not Danish such
perfect beauty-and so we'll bathed,
In summer baths are more necessary
than in winter. Happily our rivers
may replace the public bathing houses,
If we were consulted we should say
that without distinction, men, women
and children - everybody should
.bathe, and we enjoin the clergy of the
parishes to conduct in person the en-
tire population to the bath once a
week"

Air current at height of so miles
above the earth are discussed by j.
Edmund Clark in the quarterly journal
of the Royal Meteorological society, on
the basis of observations made at
many places in southern England and
northern France of the drift of a par
ticular bright and persistent meteor
train seen on the night of February %,
1909. Mr.. Clark himself saw the train
for 104 minutes. The most remarkable
conclusions drawn by the writer
relates to the velocity of the upper
winds at various levels, as indicated
by the movement of the train. Be-
tween the attitudes of 1919 and 81
miles the streak lay in a west wind
of over 10 miles an hour, while at
511a miles the current was almost
from the east, with a velocity ap-
preaching 200 miles an hour. These
conclusions hardly agree with the pre-
vailing conception of the stratosphere
as a region of gentle winds.

depths. Since there are many parts of
the Great lakes where the water Is
from 100 20 700 feet deep and few
spots where 1t reaches 900 or 1000
feet, is it strange that the storms
which sweep these inland seas should
attain extreme force and often cause
great havoc? The lakes present many
stretches Of open water much wider
than certain channels and bays Of the
salt seas which are notorious for their
tempests and giant waves. Lake
storms may be nearly as dangerous as
ocean gales of the most destructive
kind, says the Cleveland Leader. 1t

To people who would shun infec-
ton a new caution is given. Don't
slide your hand along the baiuster in
going up or down stairs" In public
buildings where the stairways are
much used, the probability Is that
germs of various diseases will be
left on the rail and that many Of the
people who take them off on their
hands will get them into their sys-
TENS. OF course everyone should wash
his hands before eating. But even
those who take this precaution would
not want germs on their hands if they
could avoid 1t. After all, however, 1t
Is impossible to go through life with
out taking chances. In the modern tall
building people avoid climbing the
stairs by travelling in the elevator.
There are some old-fashioned folks,
however, who dread elevators, and
rather than ride in them would risk
climbing stairs with the help of bal
listers despite the alarm about germs.

GREAT MEMS EYES,

1t seems that at last genius IL dis
discovered not to be allied to insanity,
but that rather all it's eccentr!cities
are due to eye strain. Brain special
lists, for instance, are asserting that
If Carlyle had had properly adjusted
glasses and good electric light to
work by, instead of skylight over his
desk, and that illumined by London
have been such grumbler and dys-
peptic; in fact, eye strain was the
cause of all his eccentricities. All
geniuses, in fact, would have been
optimistic, says science now, If they
bad only had bifocal glasses at the
right time, says the London TidBits.
The same unnormal eyesight is given
as the cause of many tragic paintings.
That famous artist, Turner would
never have painted the slave ship in a
storm, but would rather have depicted
the peaceful landscape that so many
artists paint when their eyes are prop
erly fitted with glasses. Wagner, too
If he had worn the correct spectacles
and had had that decided tilt to one
eye remedied, probably would never
have written about Walkyrie and dra.
gons but would have written pleasant
dances, and even ragtime, instead
Darwin also was another victim Of
eye strain. Doubtless he would never
have given the world his theory of
evolution which stirred society up if
his eyes had been normal. De Quincy
suffered from bad eyes. Surely he
would never have taken opium if he
had had glasses; but, then, on the
other hand, the world would have
missed his opium dreams. And, after
all is considered, scientists conclude
society could better dispense with
spectacles than with geniuses.
