CHICKENS FORCED

Instead of the Ordinary

London, Aug. GA long succession Of

privately made in regard to the effect Of
electricity upon the growth OF plants and

Ting results have been reached in one

Beyond all question young poultry re

Black Hat Craze.

Women are in the grip of the black-hat
craze, but the somber hue of the per.
enniaI favorite is enlivened by trimmings
in bright hues. In size the very diminu-
tive hats show new process in milli-
merry evolution, their brims, robbed OF
anything like width, being but folds of
transparent net, and the picture hats
modelled on the usual lines are adorned
with the accepted trimmings, such as

Bichop Sleeve.

The full sleeves that characterize most
of the newest models in Paris recall the
long ago bishop sleeve, which some of
US remember. These sleeves are made of
the filmiest Of ninon or chiffon over the
very softest Of batiste. Unlike the previ-
Gus form of bishop they are seldom
caught in at the wrist with a band, but
hang rather loose though still following
the outline OF the arms.
Another novelty or rather revival Is the
sleeve, which. loose from the shoulder
to elbow, ends in a tight-itting cum to
the wrist. For the present weather, this
is rather too hot, but IL denotes the re !.
turn of the puffed sleeve after a long
run Of three or four years at least, for
the straight falling and kimono variety.

At no season OF the year does the all

convincing. Cotton crepe is an impor-
tant Ingredient, both In the matter OF

1t is impossible to depict in a written
description the charm Of a white cotton

skirt OF which was arranged with a
suspicion Of fullness at the waist, and
the bodice softened by some inch-wide
nat tucks and q deep falling frill OF
plisse white net. 1t really sounds moth
ing in the telling, but worn by the right
girl and surmounted by some pretty pic
ture hat, one could scarcely imagine
more charming summer toilette.

SILK Sewing Case.

A very neat little sewing kit could be
made from a piece Of wide Dresden rib
bon. A sewing case of this kind could
be more easily packed than a box and
can be made just as complete.
The silk is gathered to an oblong bot
tom, which is double, the needle case
Of oblong bits of flannel being inside and
a tiny pair of scissors fastened by
elastic straps to the outside. OF course
the double bottom is formed Of oblong
pieces of silk-covered cardboard.
The inside Of the bag is filed with
spools Of thread, thimble, &C., and the
little sewing bag is drawn up with a
drawstring.
This makes a very complete little sew
ing kit that can easily be slipped into
the bag or suit case.

Pudding Basin Hat Now Favorite.

At the moment the smartest hat is in
the shape OF an inverted pudding basin
supplemented by double brims Of wired
tulle, which project over the eyes, at
times hiding the back Of the hair as well,
but, at other times, rising suddenly and
held close to the crown by feather or
single long-stemmed flower, usually
pink.
One Of these pudding basin hats Is
carried out in white lace, but most of
them are black. with either a tall flower
or q panache OF plumes for trimming.
Few very large picture hats are seen,
the inclination OF the moment being for
a more moderate size with straight brims
trimmed with flowers, and. perhaps, q
butterfly in black lace

Some Lacking in Courage.

Making due allowance for the impe-

100000 Of these single men are capable
Of assuming the responsibilities Of mar
ried nIe. Inc majority or tnese men
have a wholesome respect and reverence
for the married state, and many OF them
Will enter II, DuI there are an enormous
number OF men who lack the moral
fiber and courage to marry and take a
mans part in human affairs.
While an army OF single men are
lavishing their earnings and their afTec-
tions upon themselves and many of them
developing extravagant and often vicious
habits-an existence which they prefer to
an orderly, economical married life
another great army Of young women are
forced to toll in our factories and busi-
ness houses for the necessities of life.
This is an unfortunate and unnatural
state of affairs. Moreover. from the
ranks of the unmarried comes humanity's
heaviest contribution to immortality and
crime.
"All these factors are we'll worth con-
sidering when studying the problem OF
marriage, eugenics or race degeneracy,
and the fundamental moral principle
which underlies them all. And now an
other convincing reason for marriage has
been disclosed by the analysis of NOR
talfty statistics OF married and unmarried
persons by Prof. W. L Wilcox, OF Cornell
University.
These statistics cover the population
OF the State OF New York, with the ex-
ception OF Buffalo and New York City,
and have made 1t possible almost for the
first time in this country to study NOR
tality by marital conditions.

death rate among bachelors is due to the
fact that many in delicate health, espe-
cially II suffering from any definite all
ment, are not willing to assume the bur-
dep and responsibility OF a family.
But the physically impaired lives in
this group account for only a part Of the
excessive mortality among single men.
Most persons agree that married men
live longer because their lives are more
regular than those of single men. Respon-
sibility begets caution in taking risks of
life and illness, and. in addition to this.
the hazard is reduced by the supervision
of the wife, who watches over the hus-
band, guarding his health and impress
ing him with the consequences of ex-
posing himself 10 needless danger. These
are some of the reasons why marriage
promotes longevity.

lar, to place restrictions around marriage
