Off by becoming white caps, which

This singular style of dress is said
to have been adopted to enable the

TRAPPED A SEAGULL.
Queer Contest of Strength Between a
Bird and a BivaIve.

At first thought it is hard to imagine
how a clam could endanger the life of
bird. That such strange circum-
stance is not impossible is shown by
the following incident:
A settler on one of the small islands
near Vancouver was returning TO his
home by way Of beach Of hard sand
when he beheld an unusually large
flock of seagulls gathered in compact
mass and beating with beaks and
wings upon the sand Evidently they
were attacking some enemy. Over.
head dozens of gulls wheeled and
screamed in evident excitement
The settler was almost upon the
fighting birds before they burst apart
and flew, chattering, toward the clouds
One, however, lay tapping upon the
ground and the man saw that mon
ster clam held the gulPs beak in WISE
like grip. 1t was, too heavy for the
bird to fly away with, and for all the
gull's frantic struggles 1t could not
loosen the CLAIMS tenacious grip.
With his hunting knife the man
pried open the shells and freed the cap
tive. The gull was exhausted from It's
desperate efforts and at first could only
stagger like a drunken sailor toward
the water. Finally. however, 1t few
away and soon returned in the van OF
a cloud of gulls come to inspect the en-.
emy that had trapped one OF thetI
tribe.-St. Andrews Beacon.

Mary is not by any means the only
name that has been borne by men and
women alike, writes correspondent
of the London Chronicle, who has dip

Sir Patience Ward was lord mayor OF
London in 1850. Eve Sliffhton is men

landowner in America.
As to male names usurped by the la.

NATIONAL OFFICIAL BOOKS.
They Are Named by CoIors and Cover
Wide Range of Hues.


British government publications are
called blue books" because they are
usually bound in blue paper covers and
because blue is the officially recognized
color in parliament and law. In few
departments, however, blue" books
are printed in yellow covers to distin-
guish the department Diplomatic cor
reSpondence with foreign countries and
short acts of parliament are often left
unbound, or white" because there is
no strict rule for binding any docu-
mentS less than an inch in thickness.
In addition to the blue book" there
is the red book" This contains list
Of persons who hold appointments.
The only other color used by England
Is black. \ black book contains an ex-
posure of some abuse, the name "black
book" originating from the famous
"black book" compiled in the reign of
Henry VIII. to expose the abuses in
monaSterieS.
In France the chief color for govern
ment publication is yellow. Although
the latest French government report
has been called a "black book" in real
ity it is published in yellow covers. 1t
forms, in fact, one Of long set OF
yellow books" which France has been
issuing annually ever since the year
1861 upon the affairs of the country for
the use Of politicians and historians.
The chief color of Russian govern
ment publications is orange. Belgium
uses gray, Italy green, the United
States blue and red, Spain and Austria

need have no fear of the outcome on
Election Day. For in each of the
scores of towns through which the
bell party has passed, tremendous
crowds have turned out to cheer the
plucky little band of women and
pledge them their affirmative votes
on the suffrage amendment in No

Moreover, the suffrage enthusiasm
displayed by these crowds has been
as honest as it has been hearty. The
big bronze replica of the original
Liberty Bell which, with it's chained
clapper, mutely symbolizes the plea
for political independence which the
women are making, has struck a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of the
thousands who have turned from
town and countryside to see it. It
made them realize that the women
Of Pennsylvania who are asking
for the ballot today are prompted by
the same patriotic impulses and mo-
tives that stirred the men of this
State in 1776.
