Excitement in Manchester.

She was standing on Hanover street
talking to middie.ased man. Every
one was taking a side glance as they
walked by and more than one turned
around and came back to stare for a
second time. And all because the
young woman in question was wearing
one Of those new-fangled split skirts
with trouserettes. It was very EVIL
dent that she was not q native, but
that Boston had seen her on more than
one occasion. =,
She was not at all bashful and when
pne overcurious individual stopped in
his tracks to see the shapely trousered
limb, she simply smiled and talked
faster to her companion. The ladies'
were even more curious than the men.
They all stopped on the other side Of
the street and watched for some time
before they continued down to do some
necessary shopping. The sight was an
unusual one ifSg \, anfAss;er-- a,rd was

JUST THE SAME. KIND OF GIRL
Modern Maid, In All Essentials, 10 a
~ Worthy Copy Of Her Mother
and grandmother.

J, Every now and again somebody
asks, In print, this question: what
has become Of the old.fashioned girl
that helped her mother wash the
dishes?" Probably the same ques-
tlon has been asked since the time
Of Noah and will be asked until the
end.
Mary Lyon, when she provided for
the establishment of Mount Holyoke
college for girls, stipulated that all
the household work in 1t should be
done by the students. That rule was
enforced rigidly up to recent date,
when the directors and faculty, feel.
ing that the practice might have be-
come outworn, made the domestic
tasks of the institution optional for
the undergraduates.
But when the girls Of Mount Holy.
oke were requested to announce their
wishes on the subject, 74S Of the 500
elected to continue in the tasks Of
sweeping corridors, washing dishes,
setting tables and making up beds.
There is no need to worry about
the American girl, even II she does
wear gowns the sight Of which seems
to preclude all idea of work on her
part. She isn't saying much about
1t, but she is in all essentials the
same kind of girl our mothers and
grandmothers we're.

SMOOTH FLOOR RouTS THIEF
Fat Burglar Slipped While Struggling

the House.

A polished floor In the house Of
Thomas Cohen, a merchant here,
serveds as an effective burglar trap,
says Somerville IN. j. dispatch to
the New York Herald. A S00.pound
burglar, according to Mr.. Cohen's
story to the police, broke into the
house and made tour Of the upper
floor, collecting valuables as he went,
and then entered the dining room to
get the silver. The drawers of the
buffet were stuck fast by reason of
the damp weather. The burglar
pulled; his anger rose; he gave a
mighty jerk. Then he slipped and
dropped to the floor with a thud.
The noise awakened the family.
Cohen turned on the electric light and
ran down stairs, while the cries Of
the women Of the house aroused the
neighbors. Cohen saw fat burglar
limp out of q rear door. but says he
abandoned thoughts Of pursuit on see
ing that the burglars retreat was
being covered by brisk little man
with o gun. The state Of the room
told the story.
The burglar left behind the loot he
gathered.

carrying on an Investigation of the
effect of radium upon the growth of
plants, asserts that the best results
are obtained by mixing about one sew
en-hundredth part Of a grain Of ra-
dunn with one ton of earth. This
minute quantity can be obtained by
using the residues left behind after
radium has been extracted from min

authoritative interviews yet express
ed here on Germany's attitude toward
the war. Germany was bound to win
in the end. he said; she was fighting
because her cause was just. He pre-.
dicted that Americans would come
to regard the conflict In this light,
Italy, he believed. would not permit
herself to take sides against Ger

From the emperor to the lowest
unskilled workman in the Fatherland,
Germany is united to defend herself

attack Of jealous powers" said the
ambassador. THE German people
will fight to finish and will be vic,
torious In the end.
AT the outbreak of the war;" he
continued, the English cut the cable
to this neutral country for the sole
purpose Of preventing the truth from
coming here. There was no excuse
for that act, except the desire to de-
