NOTES AND NOTIONS

The fastidiously dainty woman
may always be distinguished from the
constitutio'nally slouchy one by the
fastenings of dress details. Sooner
or later the sloppy one will reveal
her true instinct and will be caught
with safety pin doing duty for the
stitch in time; whereas the truly dain.
ty woman always takes time to faster
everything trinity and to see that LOGS
ened fastenings are repaired before
the emergency Of hurried dressing
arrives. Neater than small pins for
fastening the backs of thin stock col
lars are small snap buttons; and these
fasteners give a flatter. nicer. closing
than even the smallest of hooks and
eyes. These handy fasteners may
also be used for keeping mourning
bands on long sleeves or for catching
back wide, turned back cuffs of soft
material that might otherwise droop
Imply and untidily from the sleeve.
If your dearest enemy happens to
call while you are in the midst of
doleful crying spell, and you know
that she will insist on coming right
upstairs II informed that you are i'll;
do not despair. Provided you have
been forehanded and have prepared
for such an emergency all traces of
the crying spell may be removed IN
ten minutes-while she supposes you
are dressing. Battle the eyes in hot
boric acid water and take a tea
spoonful Of aromatic spirits of ammo
mia in water. The latter will steady
the nerves and the boric acid will
take all Inflammation from the eyes.
This will take the first five minutes.
Now pour little liquid menthol in
steaming water. Wrap a bath fowl
over the head and basin and take I'm
long breaths through the nose. In a
moment or two the voice will be clear
and free from the tell tale huskiness
of tears. Last of all apply talcum
to the face; smooth the hair. Run
downstairs with a laughing greeting
and sit with your back to the win
dow as you converse with the guest.
How To Test Ventilation
Here is a simple way to tell whe-
ther your room is properly ventilated
or not. Place a wide necked bottle
of water into which has been placed
an ounce of lime water in the room,
allowing 1t to remain uncovered over
night. If the lime water is milky
IN the morning the ventilation is bad
IL the lime water becomes milky on
your covering the bottle mouth with
your hand and shaking the vessel the
ventilation is not sufficiently good
When the lime water remains clear,
the air of the room is considered clear
and pure.

the PINCH OF
HARD TIMES
,roe Numbers Of Workers Dropped
From the Pay Rolls OF Industrial
establishments

Following sharp downward tarin re-
Visions come, always, varying explain
ations Of the pinch of hardening
times. In the 90s the explanation
was free silver and consequent want
of confidence. The great Industrial
depression in the third decade OF the
nineteenth century, Immediately fol-
lowing downward revision, was attri-
buted by free traders to other causes
And now, when the fact Of decreas-
ing exchanges can be neither denied
nor concealed, sophistry is again the
recourse of such as feel themselves
in any way responsible for the new
tariff law
Admitting the fact 1t is ascribed by
the theorists to many different causes.
Admission of the fact, however, does
not prevent them from trying to blink
4, in many ways. The fact being that
by far the larger part Of the men
now being thrown out Of employment
have been working in industrial pur-
suits directly or indirectly affected by
tariff legislation, the claim Is being
made that reduction in railway work.
ing forces explains the bulk of dis
missals. 1t is a safe assumption that
railway lines have not reduced, and
will not reduce, their working forces
below the point needed for the han
ding of traffic. That they must re-
duce to the lowest working minimum
at which traffic can be handled, I'M
less rates are advanced Is a plain
business proposition in many cases,
But railway managers will not go to
the minimum until hope of higher
freight rates is abandoned. The fact
Is that their contribution to the swell
ing crowd Of idle men is small as
vet by comparison with those of the
industrial lines.
The claim itself not only is mislead-
ing, but reacting against those maxi
ing 1t with intention to deceive. For
how can it be demonstrated that rail
way corporations should not be expec'
ted to maintain working forces at full
strength under reduced rates, when
that very thing is expected and de
manded of manufacturers and the
producers OF much of their raw ma
terials? Finding the market narrow
ing through fcrce of new competi
tions. reduction In working forces
cannot be avoided. 1t Is noticeable
in the dispatches that many more con
Germs are reducing forces than are
wholly suspendins operations. Mer
camille intelligence, like traffic intel
Igence. will not reduce below thu
point at which operation can be con
tfnued without loss. This sad fac
Is that forces must be and are being
reduced. Hot air, unfortunately, Il
often followed by cold. History re
peats itself IN the effort to concea
truth and to challenge the laws o
cause and effect.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. -Califor-
MIA fruit shippers won an important
victory today In the supreme court
against the Santa re, Southern Pacific

shippers from cooling and preceding
their own cars.
In delivering the court opinion,
Justice Lamar said the railroads con.
|tention would result in an increase of
sb4 per car in shipping fruit across
the country. He said that until the
railroads can provide the same pre-
cooling accommodations as are now
enjoyed by the shippers own facil-
tiles, the railroads cannot deprive
shippers Of the advantages OF the
