FRIDAY, OCTOBER Is, 1915.

The long prosecuted Jews at
last are finding tolerance in Russia"
says an exchange" This probably
means that Russia is in need of
their assistance.
The Stanstead Journal in its issue
of Oct. 7th, referring to a motor
car that was seized by the customs,
states The Main street customs
office is very noticeable when you
know just where to look for it, but
to the stranger passing through it
would look quite as much like a
secondhand auction room as any
thing else" This must be true.
We have tried to locate that customs
office two or three times just to see
what the thing looked like, and up
to date have failed. And we are
fairly good at hunting, too. Well
bet dollar to a fishhook that ten
strangers in passing through the
town never would see it unless they
inquired.

SCHOONER CRASHES
into A STEAMER
Neither Vessel Sinks After
SmaShup In Sound

Some $50 passengers were thrown
into a panic, one man suffered in
ternal injuries and others received
minor hurts when the three masted
schooner Samuel S. Thorpe, bound
for Newburyport, Mass. with coal,
buried her nose for forty feet into the
side OF the steamer Tennessee in Long
Island sound.
All of the TeNnessee's passengers
were transferred at sea to the steam
er Concord after radio calls for as
sistance had brought several sound
steamers to the vicinity. The pas
senger steamer had a ragged gap in
her side, but after some repairs had
been made she continued her trip to
New York under her own steam.
The schooner was towed to New
London. All of her head gear had
been carried away and the forecastle
head had been crumpled into wreck
age that extended to within six inches
of the waterline.
Her captain, A. A. Pearce, blamed
the passenger boat for the collision.

A CHERUIT SUIT. e

Take for instance, a Cheruit suit,
with three-quarter length coat of
black gros-laine." With the outer
part, this seemed a simple, long-coat-
ed, tailored rig, showing what appear
ed to be matching full skirt of the
material. Once the coat was DOTTED,
however it revealed an afternoon
frock of gray blue silk loosely belt
ed at the waist with the narrow
cravat tie having fringed ends,
placed at the centre front. A de-
licate braiding of black and gold
soutache ornamented the front of
the blouse and trimmed the patch hip
pockets, while a wide hem of the
black woollen, like the coat, weighted
the skirt and produced a tailored
effect when the coat was worn.
EVENING FROCKS AND TRAINS.
Evening dresses show all the pre-
vaiIing sartorial fads bit exagger-
ated, as things must be to be effec-
tive at night. Skirts are more bout
FAINT and shorter than on day mod
els, especially where the trains are
a feature, for the train today is a
separate attachment quite distinct
from the gown proper, and is slung
over the arm for dancing in a style
at once convenient and picturesque.
Trains are narrow and finished in a
point generally, though occasionally

Among the stateli4st and proudegt
Of the members of Americas flower
family none excels the larger blue
flag, which also wears the names Of
blue iris and fleur-delis. Ruskin calls
it the Flower of Chivalry, which has
sword for its leaf and lily for its
heart. Longfellow pronounceS it "a
flower born in the purple, to Joy and
pleasance." It blooms in the wet,
rich marsh and meadow. from May to
July, and finds its home from New.
foundlald and Manitoba to Florida
and Arkansas. The flag flower must
look to the insect world entirely for
it's propagation, particularly to the
bees as its pollen carriers. So it puts
forth a flower that is blue tinted, for
IS experience has taught it that a
bee can be wooed with blue better
than with any other color.

An Incident From School Life in the
Days of Alexander Twilight.

| regretted that | could not at
tend the historical meeting and
picnic held at the old Stone House
of which have very pleasant recol-
lections,in Bloomington last August.
Perhaps the following incident which
occurred when | vast a student at
the academy may interest some of
your readers. 1t so we'll illustrates
the power of Mr.. Twilight's person
ality which the writer of this has
never forgotten, although only a
child of thirteen at the time.
| think the school was held in the
hall at the top of the Stone House
that spring, probably on &C.
count of the failing health of Mr..
Twilight, who was then near the
close of his work as a teacher.
A class in mathematics was recit-
ing and just before young man
went to the board to demonstrate a
problem a mischievous class mate
pinned a large handkerchief to the
back of his coat which trailed on
the floor and caused much laughter
in the room especially from the
primary class.
Unconscious of the cause of the
merriment, the young man was re,
turning to his seat, when Mr.. Twi
light, who had maintained an i'm
perturable silence through all the
commotion, said with that impress
sive voice which had such power
over the scholars. 1T is fool that
laughs at the folly of fool" In.
stantly the laughter ceased anC
what had seemed before amusing
became childish and contemplate
Many times since then in life
when some foolish joke has beer
played at the expense of others, OF
a jest has been made of the mos
sacred things, | have ften thought
of the words of Mr.. Twilight. II

STOCK POOLS OF OTHER DAYS

Entertaining testimony.

Stock pools of the present day have
nothing on the pools and corners OF
a generation ago in either magnih-
cence or picturesqueEesC. Certainly
there has been in recent years no such
naive and entertaining testimony re-
garding such operations as that
brought out by a state senate investi'
eating committee in 1882, with Jay
Gould, Rufus Hatch, big Spectator
and Henry Ward Beeche- as the star
attractions They asked Jay Gould il
he was familiar with corners and
he told how his brokers started buy

price up very high. | did not pay

the corner to about so. ] think ~ went
up to about $50. l think ! was i'll
duced to part with some at about that
price" Mr.. Gould's matchless gener
osity, however, was not shared by Ru'
fus Hatch, according to his testimony
when asked If he was opposed to
stock watering. II am" he replied
promptly, unless | am in it," Henry
Ward Beecher added to the entertain
ment of the investigation-he did not
know why he ad been called-by

understood the system of dealing in
futures. az is a part of my profeS
sion he said, ito deal in futures"
His dealings in stocks, however, were
limited to two occasions On the first
occasion he bought at 400 and sold at
800. 81 thought IT good stock to lay

OcCupationaI Eye Diseases.
ELvINA M. DAGGETT

Many eyes are injured or lost
from disease contracted in certain
occupations. In some trades alb
sorption of poisons produce serious
eye diseases. Among these poisons
are tobacco, alcohol, lead, bisulfid
of carbon, nitrobenzol, aniline dyes,
etc. One of the most dangerous is
alcohol. Not the high grade grain
alcohol but the cheap wood or
methyl alcohol, sometimes masquer-
rading under the names of 'Colum-
bian spirits" Colonial spirits" or
Manhattan spirits" This poison
is sometimes drunk by ignorant peo-
pie, and not infrequently causes
death and blindness. Even ten
drops have produced such results in
susceptible people. Turkish bath
attendants and masseurs sometimes
use wood alcohol with bad results,
both to the rubber and rubbed. The
inhaling of wood alcohol in such
trades as painting and hat making
not infrequently produces blindness
or fatal results. 1t is used as a SOL
vent for shelIac and if used is con-
fined spaces is very dangerous. In
a pencil factory, where wool alcohol
was used, a roomful Of girls suffered
from serious disturbance of vision,
which passed away with the removal

Preventing Typhoid Fever.

Proper sanitary conditions, such as
destroying the fly and mosquito and
their breeding places, providing good
sewage disposal, keeping the premises
clean, and a prompt application Of
anti-typhoid vaccine where there is
the least suspicion of the fever, will
prevent typhoid fever. Preventive
methods will save $4,000 lives annu
ally.

Aviator Has Close Call

Bud Cary, an aviator who had been

it. The machine was wrecked and

of the cause. Wood alcohol under
this or under any other name should |
not be manufactured or sold. 1t is
too dangerous. What is called de-
natured alcohol is just as cheap and
comparatively harmless. Another
vocational eye disturbance is found
where eyes are unduly exposed to
very bright lights, such as blow
outs" or "short-circuits," where
the light is sudden and intense.
Such accidents may, by the over
towering influence on the retina,
produce poor sight or blindness
partial or completed, for a variable
length of time. Constant and in
tense electric lights prod e S
retinal exhaustion, and an ex-
cessive pupillary contraction, which
secondarily overworks the muscle of
accommodation, and occasions great
ocular fatigue. People who work
continually on polished surfaces such
az gilders, metal polishers and glass
workers experience the same trou-
bles. Factories that are over bril-
liantly illuminated by incandescent
gas and electric lights are apt to
injure the eyes, as these lights con-
tain much violet and ultraviolet
which produce an effect on the eye
similar to 'snow-blindness." These
rays may also seriously effect the
eye. Suckers, bottle-makers, and
and glass-blowers, whose eyes are
continually exposedto intense heat
and light, are very apt to have cata-
racts and the eye nearest the fire is
always the one first affected Anoth-
er kind of occupational eye disease
can be found in people who are COM
PEELED to work for hours ata stretch,
on work that requires close inspec-
ton of small things. Bookkeeping,
drawing, matchmaking, sewing and
dentistry, all close work, require a
strain of the muscle of accomC da-
ton, even if people have normal
eyes. Many people have errors of
refraction for which glasses should
be properly fitted. Even if glasses
are properly fitted, there is still an
accommodation strain where the eye
is unwisely taxed. This accounts
for headaches, tsred and red eyes
and nervous exhaustion so frequent
ly seen in those who work long and
hard at occupations requiring close
visual exertion, and where at the
same time perhaps the light is poor
and badly arranged.
Shortsightedness is a disease ag-
gravated by the close use of the
eyes and is found in students, type
settlers, etchers and engravers, in
fact, in any vocation where close
and continuous use of the eyes is
demanded. The proper adjustment
of glasses is essential in such cases,
as we'll as health up-building, open
air life, proper lighting and the
judicious use of the eyes, for it
must be remembered than short
sightedness is progressive disease
and sometimes causes blindness.
Shortsighted people should endeavor
to secure some occupation which does
not require the close and continuous
use of the eyes. - American Medi
cal Association Journal.

PETTICOATS AGAIN.
pairs at the wrist

The swish of the silk petticoat is
again with US, and one sees it on
Fifth Avenue not only in the shops
but outdoors when the wind sways
short full skirts. Some of the new
est petticoats have a rather flexible
featherbone in the hem except
across the front breadth. Ruffies
and cording are favorite petticoat
garn;tures, and one form of skirt is
caught under, envelop fashion, in a
way that suggests Turkish trouser.
HAT FANCIES.
Favor is about equally divided be-
tween small hats and those with
vide brims. In the former class
the top hat, suggesting a mans
beaver, is especially popular. Vel.
vet hats of all sorts depend on the
material and shape for their effect
and little trimming is used. Enor-
nous hat pins made of beads, in jet
or steel, are much worn ornaments,
while outstanding pleatings that sug-
gests the Indians war bonnet, are
considerably used on the stiff high
crowned shapes.
CAPES AND Wells.
Capes are responsible for some of
the quaintest trimmings on both
dresses and coats. If one owns an
old time circular fur cape that rip
pies in organ-pipe folds, this is
the time to resurrect it, since such
lines are once more endorsed by
fashion. Spanish lace used in cape
or fichu fashion, is effectively en-
ployed on evening and dinner frocks,
and tassels are hung almost every
where, and bows wander about with
little reason seemingly. Wells are re-
spons,ble for very fetching effects, anu
vary from a short flounce edging the
hat-brim, Spanish fashion, to long
draperies, that reach nearly to the
back. Chantilly lace patterned wells
are favored, and the latest idea is to
have these hemmed with chiffon
the hem occasionally wider than the
lace, but usually measuring about
two inches, put on with hemstitch-
ing. Edgings of fur are occasional.
ly seen, and are likely to increase as
the season grows older.
BASQUES.
Bodices take on bas que lines and
end in straight cutoff at the waist
or continue in long points. Darts
and seams and wrinkles are al
assets Of present style, and lacings
and edgings of fur, velvet ribbon
and little quillings are faddish fea
lures.
The latest thing in umbrella hand
les is covering of pig-skin anG
braided pigskin holders that suggest
riding crops.
