THOSE who turn their attention to the designing of dress accessories made of ribbon have supplied such a world of novelties during recent sea- sons that one might think no new thing in ribbons possible. But try to pass the ribbon counter with only a glance and find how quickly some startlingly novel and beautiful bit of finery will seize your attentie Those who work with ribbons are inspired by these beautiful fabrics and watch the passing modes from the viewpoint of the ribbon specialist
 Therefore, if you finger at the rib bon counter you are sure to be charmed by some novelty produced by the adaptation of ribbons to certain whims of fashion.
 Besides the things that We have not seen before there are those with which we are familiar, but they are made up in the new patterns in ribbon and with novel finishing touches in orna- ments
 The most fascinating pieces in the array of novelties are designed for neckwear. An example from among these is shown in the ribbon neck ruff, of which picture is given here.

GOOD
 
ELIMINATE ALL ROAD GRADES No Team Should Be Required to Pull to Its Maximum Capacity-In-
 teresting Comparisons.
Ry W. c. PALMER.)


 The average cost of hauling a ton one mile on the ordinary country roads is 25 cents, while the average price of hauling one ton one mile on the railroads is a4 cent. In other words, the cost of hauling is B times as much with team and wagon as with steam. This has been accomplished by number of factors. Some of these can be and must be considered in making good roads, that is, to have a good hard roadbed and to1eliminate grades. The railroads do not, as rule, have a grade of more than three per cent, while some of them have adopted two per cent as the maximum grade. Two per cent would mean a rise of two feet, in hundred feet. This would not be considered much of a grade on the ordinary road, but this is the way it works out.
 ,a A team can exert pull on a short distance of one-half it's weight, but for ordinary work the load it can pull should not be over one-tenth the weight of the team, for instance team weighing 5000 pounds can exert a pull of 300 pounds when it is to con tinue .the work for, say, ten hours. For a small stretch it would be able to exert pull of 1,500 pounds. This, however, is putting forth all the ener- It has. also been found that the pull required to take ton load over ordi- nary roads is 160 pounds. Supposing, then, that the load is one ton and the wagon weighs 1900 pounds, this would make a total of $500 pounds. At the rate of 160 pounds ton the total pull would be 264 pounds, or a little less than the team is capable of hauling. In fact, it could very nicely handle 300 pounds more, which would bring the pull up to 300 pounds, and make the load 2,500 pounds. This, however, is for the level. As a grade is ap- proached this, of course, will be in- creased. A five per cent grade would increase the draft of the wagon and load of $500 pounds by 315 pounds, bringing it up to 579 pounds, which is almost twice what the team can han dle as a regular thing. If the grade IS luCT0dSeu LO ~ per CSul, UT ~ leSt in 100, feet, the draft on this same load would come to a little over 1,500 pounds. or, the maximum that this team could pull when exerting it's ut most. power. Any grade beyond this would mean that. the load would have 1to be reduced, and in fact no team Should be required to have. to pull to its maximum Capacity. From this 1t is evident that increasing the grade increases the draft very fast and hence grades should be eliminated as far as it is possible.
 On macadafn road team can pull three times as much on the level as on the good earth road, but the in- crease in draft for grade remains the same as on the earth road, so that a grade would be more objectionable on macadam road than on poor road On the level 3,000-pound team could easily handle four tons, while the maximum grade that it could pull up With such load would be ten per cent grade and even that is more than should be expected from the team.

Activities of Women.

Philadelphia has five women factory inspectors.
 Women farm laborers in England number nearly one hundred thousand.
 Over fire thousand women are en- gagged in industry inS Italy. u Over six thousand women in New York are employed as addresses.
 Canada has an active rife associa- tion composed of women.
 There are over three million widows in the United States and there is no estimate as to how many there will be in Europe after the war, but it will probably be twice as many as we have.
 In Java, when a man marries. he goes to his wife's house, where the women sit in council upon all mat ters of importance and dictate the af- fairs of the home.
 Widows of soldiers killed in the service of the British army will re- ceive pension of from five to ten shillings a week, depending upon the rank of her husband.
