Women In Trousers.

The question Of whether women as
the result Of the war should wear
trouserettes Is being solved without
holding conventions and without the
aid of those who have heretofore made
the fashions, says the Omaha World
Herald. In Vancouver, B. c., there
was an enormous berry crop, cult
waited and wild, and there was only
enough labor in sight to gather one
third Of it. Frantic with the thought
of so much loss, the people appealed
to the government. The first PROPOSE
ton was to ship In two or three thou
sand Chinese coolies. The women up
there said that would result in two
or three thousand more to feed and
they made an appeal to the women
and girls of the province. In a few
days more than 1900 were enlisted.
The briars and brambles Of the fruit
field would make short work Of skirts
and the women all donned trousers.
The army was drawn from all walks
of life.

Conserving NIauara's Power.

Anyone that has seen an Ice gorge
on the Niagara river breaking up has
a vivid reminder of titanic might let
loose. Millions of tons Of solid ma
terial are then driven onward by the
cumulative impulse of the slightly
impounded or checked waters. Plain
ly this Is a peril that would have to be
reckoned with by anyone building scat
tered power stations along the stretch
Of the gorge. The plants would face
we'll nigh certain and complete de-.
struction sooner or later. Of course
the cheapest way to benefit by the
river Is to use as much of the water
ut the Falls as the two governments
concerned will permit, and then, after
the diverted flow has returned to the
river below the cataract to employ the
full volume Of the tidal prism. That Is
what is contemplated In the erection of
a dam at Fosters Flats.-Exchange.

DOWN THE DALMATIAN COAST
Strange superstitlons Of the Mixed
People That Live Along the
Adriatic.

A much mixed, backward, and
strangely superstitious people are
those who dwell along the eastern
shores of the Adriatic sea, according
to a bulletin of the National Geo
graphic society. Greek colonies and
Roman municipal; Byzantian officials
and sick Franks abandoned on the
rocks Of lara by Crusaders; Italians
exiled during the centuries Of strife
among their petty states or brought
thither by trade ventures; the food Of
Slavonian and, later, Of Ottoman, in
vasion; all these are the elements Of
the people living along Austria-Hun-
gary's seacoast. Franks, Byzantians,
Croats, Bosniaks, Turks, Hungarians,
Genoese, Neapolitans, Germans, and,
of first importance, Venetians have
ruled various parts Of this coast at
different times. The heavy ground
tone of this shore people Is Slavonian,
but there Is besides tumble Of almost
every other racial element r-.-.-...
From Trieste downward, the Slavon-
fans predominant. Latin writer's noted

Feians Blindness, is Freed.

A professor Of the SOrbOnne, the
great French university, recently OBJ
tanned his release from German mill
tary prison by remarkable exercise
Of will power.
He fell into the hands Of the Ger
mans in 1915. Deciding ut once to get
free in some way, he feigned blind
ness. From that time 1t was impos-
sible for the German military doctors
or eye specialists to catch him off his
guard. They subjected him to the
severest tests, such as sudden appari-
tons of unfamiliar and unexpected
objects, sudden transitions from COM
plete obscurity to dazzling light. He
was tortured by scientific ways of
verifying sightlessness, but never once
departed from fixed, blank gaze, pre-
senting always an absolute absence OF
expression in his eyes. He was finally
declared totally blind and included In
a recent exchange Of permanently dis

New Headoear In Paris.

A new headdress strange to the
French capital has been seen in the
streets of Paris. It is the famous blue
bonnet of the Polish militia, which is
being worn by the soldiers Of the new
Polish army. Otherwise their uniform
Is that Of the French soldier. For
some months, at the camp Of Mont
lucon, where q number of Polish pris-
oners are interned, the national head
dress, made by the prisoners them
selves and ornamented with the Polish
colors, red and white, has been worn
by them on their way to and from
work. They are very anxious not to
be taken by the French people for
Germans or Austrians. In the court
yard Of q chateau In which they are
interned the prisoners congregate, in
their leisure hours, and sing part
songs. On July IA, the anniversary of
the fall of the Bastile, they began
their concert with the "Marseillaise."
Needless to say, the Polish prisoners
receive preferential treatment.
