Hold Your Umbrella Up
rom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 There are a great many persons in jured on windy, rainy nights because they hold their umbrellas down in order to protect their faces from the driving rain, explained an ambulance surgeon. Tn their desire to protect themselves from the rain they place themselves in grave danger of being struck and run over by surface cars, automobiles and other ve- hicles.
 If you wish proof of my assertion just stand in a doorway some night where you are protected from the rain and where you are in a position to see an expanse of thoroughfare which all kinds of ve- hicles use. You will be surprised at the large number of persons you will notice crossing the thoroughfare with their um- brellas held down so far that it is impos- sible for them to see anything approach ing. They seem oblivious of danger, and a spectator would suppose from their ac- tions that there was not the remotest chance of an accident occurring.
 Tt is fact that many pedestrians are injured on windy, rainy nights. With their umbrellas pulled down so that 1t is im- possible to see ahead or to the sides, the pedestrians walk in front of vehicles and are knocked down and injured before they realize what has happened"

The Electric Light

be navigated without extreme danger by sv'ifter vessels.
 The Electric Light
 It may be conceded that motor boats have come to stay, as the electric light has come and tarried. There were hor- rifed protests when 1t was installed a few years back along the embankments. It was then said that the glare of the are lamps would dissolve the mysterious en- chantment of the Venetian nights. or course electric light has not destroyed the poetry of the night. It has even sub served Q humanitarian purpose in being the means of saving roysterers from drowning. as many were drowned who fell, in the old days, in the dark canals while groping their way home. But to meet the wishes of the minority opposed to electric lighting it was arranged that the old gas lamps alone would be lighted on Wednesday night and the arrange ment is still in force The result is that on every Wednesday night there is not gondola in the Lagnna but carries a pair of happy lovers. and there is not a pretty girl in Venice to be found at home.

Feeling Onions for a Living

VIII IT -f'ItSs
 The profession of onion peeling is not one that obtains much notice, yet there are at least 800 women in the Eastend of London earning their Hv- ing by removing the skins of onions. With practice, they can make As or 5s per day. Veryoften they have been peeling since childhood daughters suc- ceeding mothers.
 It is not a profession you can learn in one lesson, for the skin must be re- moved by hand, or the onion "juices'' and is no use for pickling. The onions are always peeled in water. This is not to save the eyes of the peeler, but is done to keep the onion white.

his recruits. The Anderson boys held
up Thorpes stage near Glasgow one
day Among the passengers was a
raw-boned young Missourian, who
looked about as tough as the Jay
hawkers themselves.

demanded of the youth as he went

caught him full in the face with a
right swing and went down on top of
him. kicking and clawing.
The Jayhawkers pulled the young
demon off and their leader got up.
