Woman's Work.

According to the last volume of the
British census retNrns in the United
Kingdom women have succeeded in
establishing themselves in a number
of industries where their presence is

"clergymen, priests and ministers"
and four are coalheavers.

men" and wagoners, and 231 women
blacksmiths and strikers"
One woman occupies herself with
making patent fuel, and there are
three women shipwrights, and five
women "tramway car makers"

WILLING YOUR FEET WARM.

Now that winter has really begun
the problem of cold feet at night be-
comes unpleasantly provocative. To
many people hot water bottles are
an abomination-they are to me. But
have you ever tried willing your
feet warm when you get into bed? A
man told me the other day that he
concentrated his mind, as it were,
On his feet, and willed them warm.
Presently there was a sensation of
tingling in his calves, and then
his meels begin to glow. The last
night or two l have tried this
method, with some success. When l
get more accustomed to it l hope
to succeed perfectly. And there is
this advantage about it, while you
are willing your feet warm you can't
be worrying about anything else. It's
a great idea.-London Chronicle.

Recently Discovered Species Takes
Nomenclature From the Reign
Ing Family Of Monaco.

"'Grimaldichtys profundissimus'
is the name Of a newly discovered
species Of fish found in the Atlantic
by the prince Of Monaco, whose pas
sion for oceanography is well
known" said John DAILY Of Chicago
at the Raleigh.
"The fish was named in honor OF
the rcigning family of Monaco. The
depth at which it was found is sew
eral hundreds lower than the lowest
depths hitherto explored, and tends
to prove the existence Of other un-
known races and species of deep-sea
monsters at depths which have never
been sounded.
"The Grimaldichtys profundissi-
mus is very heavy about the head,
but the body diminishes rapidly in
size toward the tail. 1t is covered
with a peculiar form Of scales inn
bedded in the skin. The head is
round and soft, with the appearance
of having been fattened underneath.
The eyes are extremely small, but
visible, and the teeth are numerous
and small. The fish is very pale, and
almost without color except for a
grayish-violet tinge in certain parts
of the head and underneath the body.
The inside of the mouth is a dark
violet, almost black.

FLOWERS USED AS EMBLEMs
Have Been Distinguishing Mark Of
Factions az long as There
10 Record.

The determination Of the loyal"
Ulster men to induce every man, WON
an and child to wear a flower as a
token of their aversion to home rule
reminds one how often flowers have
been used as emblems.
Since the leaders of the Yorkist
and Lancastrian parties each plucked
rose in the Temple gardens. the Ian
castrian a red and the Yorkist white,
this flower has been popular emblem.
Apart from the fact that red roses
are symbollcal of love and white OF
purity, the English national emblem
is the rose; the Legitimist party Of
France formed the League Of the Rose
in imitation OF England's Primrose
league, while owing to Gladstone's
fondness for white roses many liberals
once wished to make them an emblem
for their party, but the idea was not
adopted.
The primrose, II is said, was Bea-
consfield's favorite flower, and has
been chosen by his followers, who
formed the Primrose league, as an
emblem, while In France, the violet,
because Of its purple hue. was worn by
imperialists as an informal token of
their loyalty to the Bonapartes. When
the son of the ex-Empress Eugene
was brought home to be buried after
being killed in the Zulu campaign, his
body was almost covered in violets.
Then, again, there are favorite ma
tional emblems. There are the lilies
of France, the thistle for Scotland, the
shamrock for Ireland, the leek for
Wales, and the maple leaf for Canada.
The United States has no national
flower and probably never will, owing
to its wide range of climate, which
makes the selection of a flower of uni
versal popularity almost impossible.

OWE DEBT TO BIRCH CANOE
Its Use In Development Of Country Has
Been Of the Most Real Value
imaginable.

It is difficult to estimate the value
of the birch-bark canoe in the discov-
cry, exploration, development and
settlement of the northern part of
the continent from the Arctic circle
to the great lakes southwark, says
the Christian Herald.
For century and a half the birch
canoe threading its way through the
lakes and rivers carried civilization
where no other boat could go. The
birch tree has uses now from church
pews to kitchen tables, and from or
gan pipes and musical instruments
to newell posts. 1t furnishes cradles
for the young and collins for the
dead.
Eleven thousand cords of the wood
go to New England each year to be
made into shoe pegs and shanks.
Forty-fve million board feet of the
wood is put on the market each
year. Paper birch is one of the few
American species with a hold on the
forest stronger than it had when the
continent was discovered. 1t comes
in after a forest fire and it has taken
possession Of enough land to cover
hundreds of square miles.

MADE HIM GIVE UP THE GAME
caddle's UnfeeIlna Remarks Too Much
for Tender Feelings OF Dear
Old Gentleman.

A dear old gentleman, who had only
taken up the dear game very late in
life, spent some months endeavoring,
under the tuition of a professional
and the care OF a special caddie, to
hit the ball When he succeeded in
doing so at all II was never more than
a few yards, and every bunker on the
course was his daily doom. Still his
caddie, having an eye to the main
chance, always encouraged him to
think that he would soon be more a
player and the old man, with the
hope that springs eternal even more
In the hearts of golfers than in other
people, firmly believed him. One day
1t happened that his special caddy was
absent, and a ruffianly looking person
appeared on the first tee with the old
gentleman's clubs. He took his nor
NAL Ia shots to the first hole, to the
unconcealed but unnoticed disgust of
the caddie; but on the second tee the
miracle happened, and the old boy for
once hit beauty.
That was good one, wasn't IT,"
he asked, turning to the bearer Of
clubs.
Good one?" retorted the rufilan, in
tones of the bitterest contempt. "Why,
/ could play better than that with me
left futl"
This unexpected verdict SO upset
the poor old man that he walked
straight back home, and has never
touched a club since.

QUESTION RIGHT TO SWORD
Historic Relic Now in Possession of
University Of Pennsylvania Has
Evoked Discussion.

The gold sword that Louis XVI pre-.
sented to John Paul Jones in recogni-
ton of the fight he made with the Bon
Homme Richard against the Scraps
has been presented to the University
of Pennsylvania by Edward C. Dale,
son OF the late Richard c. Dale, a for
mer president of the Society of Cincin-
natl. The sword has been in the DOS
session Of the Dale family for more
than a century.
This is the sword which Charles
Henry Hart, local historian. de-
clares now should be In possession
of Admiral Dewey. 1t had been gen.
orally accepted that the sword passed
by Will OF Commodore Jones to Com
modore Dale, forbear of Richard G..
Dale. Mr.. Hart denied this. He de-
clares that the sword was in posses
sion of John Paul Jones when he died
IN Paris, in 1892, and that Jane Tay-
lor OF Dumfries, Scotland, a sister of
Jones, went to Paris and took posses
sion Of everything left by the sea
tighter. Later the sword was sent to
Robert Morris.
According to Mr.. Hart Mr.. Morris
later presented the sword to Com
modore John Barry, senior officer of
the American navy in 1895, but that
the presentation was only life
legacy and that it should have been
handed down to Barry's successor as
senior officer, eventually reaching the
possession of Admiral Dewey.-Phila

fact that an opportunity for celebrat-

was in 1918 that cigars were first In
troduced into France, although the
Spaniards, who borrowed the custom
from the Mexicans, who in turn had

had practlced this form OF smoking
many years previously. II is interest

the cigar, in the dictionary OF the
