NecIktie as Life Saver.

A necktie saved a Glasgow captains
life recently. He had been a passen-
ger on board a Greek ship which had
been torpedoed in the Mediterranean.
He managed to keep afloat for a while,
until a spar drifted along with a
Frenchman on it. To this he chung, I'M
able to scramble on because he had
lost the use of his right arm and leg.
Then" says the Glasgow man, "a
storm came up and we were dashed
and butfeted about till l could hang on
no longer. so long, old chap l said,
L guess I'm a goner. Good luck to
you and thanks Nonsense he said.
Hang on for a second, and I'll fix you

IFeminism.

Feminism is the first attempt since
the days of chivalry to think clearly
and talk straight on this woman bust
ness, to call things by names that shall
square with the facts and not with the
appearance Of the facts. 1t is woman
suffrage with the bark off, for while
woman suffrage wants us to change
our ways of doing toward women,
femininism demands that we change
our ways of thinking about women
Feminism is the crust on the loaf OF
mans daily bread, and the loafer who
knows on which side his bread is but
tered will eat crust with crumb. 1t is
the lemon on the peach tree in the gar
den of love, and wise is the man who
has sense enough to give that lemon
ade. 1t is the lantern Of Diogenes to
search out and find an honest man,
even under his wife's washtub.
Feminism is the acid test of mans
chivalry and of woman's sincerity

VALUE OF OUTDOOR LIFE
Only Those Familiar With Freedom Of
Woods and Fields Enjoy Com
plete Happiness.

Too many people are merely on
speaking terms with nature. Too many
are unfamiliar with the wonderful ad-
vantage of outdoor. Too many cherish
heated comforts. They forget that
their ancestors did not know what n
steam-heated house meant. 1t is time
to broaden our views and to get closer
in touch with the great health-giving
life of the open air.
There died not long ago q natural
list, John Muir, who had lived the bet
ter part of his life with nature. He
loved the mountains and the natural
life of all outdoors. His existence
was q happy one. He died amid the
surroundings of peace, happily, with
a contented heart
1t is only those who know the free
dom of the woods and the ~health-giv-
ing tonic of the open air who really
enjoy complete happiness.
It is related hat a sickly mother,
not a great many months ago, carried
n sickly baby to Doctor Evans, who
looked the boy over and smilingly adj
vised the worried parent to turn her
boy loose in the parks, "let him live in
the open air" he advised, sit is the
only medicine that will do him any
good"
This same advice car be applied to-
day to thousands of cases. On incle-
ment days It is unwise to expose one
self. But when the sun shines and the
air is keen and crisp, is filled with the
germs of life, one is extremely foolish
not to take advantage of 1t.
If parents would only see that their
youngsters are warmly clothed, that
their shoes are sound and that their
little legs are well protected, and then
urn them out of doors and tell them
to stay there, they would find their
doctors bills growing less and the
health of their children growing bet
ter. They will also see a glow of
rosy health in the young cheeks which
is a certain indication of expanding
youth, of glowing blood, of the creation
of good health.-Memphis Commercial
Appeal.

Taxidermists Are scuIptors, Too.

1t is very doubtful if many of the
100000 or more people, who visit the
animal exhibits Of International mu-
scum annually realize the great
amount Of work put on each animal
in the mounting by modern taxiderm-
lists. The larger animals are mounted
on sO-called "manikins" of REINFORCED
plaster, and are not, as is quite gener-
ally supposed, simply stuffed with ex-
celsiOr or sawdust. The expert taxi
dermists employed by the museum are
more in the nature of sculptors than
anything else. They are said to have
been the pioneers in this kind of work,
and at this time complete their work
by constructing life-sized hollow plas-
ter figures which are not only light
and durable, but also far more real
istic than those produced with saw
dust and excelsior.

NEW PROFESSION FOR WOMEN
They Are Making Marked SUCCESS as
Secretaries and Earn Very
Good Salaries.

Evidence of rapid strides toward the
creation of a new profession offering a
good field for women is set forth in an
article In the New York Evening Post
by Raymond G. Fuller, director Of the
secretarial department Of the Russell
Sage College of Practical Arts at Troy,
N. Y. He points out that government
statistics and the reports of such or
CARNATIONS as the international bureau
Of occupations, New York the Wom-
ems Educational and Industrial union
of Boston, and the bureau of occupa-
lions for trained women Of Philadel-
phia show that s%ecretarial work is BE
coming one of the most attractive ave-
nues Of vocational choice among col
lege women" He states that Simmons
college in Boston is the only institu-
ton of collegiate standing which offers
a complete secretarial course, and that
the demand for its graduates is so
great that other colleges are rapidly
falling in line.
In New York salaries begin at from
SO to S15 a week, increase to from
5000 to $1,000 u year at the end of
two years, and to from 1,5OO to S1,SOO
a year within another year or two, or
as soon as the secretary has definitely
lifted herself from the st~enographer
class and shown real interest in the
affairs of her employer, ability to grasp
details and attend to them without de-
lay and has developed n certain degree
of judgment. Twenty per cent of the
graduates Of the "secretarial depart
ment Of Simmons go into business oc-
equations, 10 to 10 per cent become
teachers, and the rest find employment
with lawyers, professors, doctors and
other individuals, and clubs, settlement
houses, colleges, etc. A recent survey
Of 800 college wOmen in ~secretariai
positions showed 80 per cent connected
with suffrage, social and religious or
CARNATIONS; II per cent employed by
schools and colleges; s per cent by
public officials; Z per cent by business
firms and banks; 7 per cent by law
yers, and 6 per cent by doctors.
