ettinu Fashion Rule.

It Is one of the funny incidents OF
fashion that there should have been
in this extraordinary mild winter more
fur coats on the street than ever were
seen before. Outside of Russia or
Greenland, women were never so uni
formly attired In furs as during last
winter-and yet, unless one were drly-
ing, there has not been single day
when fur coat was needed, and dur
Ing more than half Of the time these
garments must have made their wear
ers very uncomfortable. Well, there
is no accounting for the fashions. The
rationale of q fur coat, Of course, Is
to wear it when it Is cold enough to
do so, and lay 1t off for some less bur-
densome garment in ordinary weather.
But when the girls put on their fur
coats In the early winter they put them
on to wear every single day, be it cold
or warm. The consciousness that 1t Is
fashionable no doubt makes any gar
ment comfortable.-Grit.

One Real Joy Ride.

Just before the first event at the
balloon circus at Arcadia the other
day, a rancher addressed Lieutenant
Colonel Mygatt, saying: ,
you're one OF them government
fellows, can you tell me If I can buy
one of them war tanks, now that the
fights over?"
"What in the world do you want a
tank for?" demanded the astonlshed
officer.
"Well, It's this way" explained the
rancher, "I'm tired Of these here road
hogs in their big machine crowdin' my
flivver off into the bitches, an I'd be
willin' to pay good money just to jog
down the road a piece In one Of them
tanks, just to. see what would hap

Concrete FIume In Hawaii.

Owing to the scarcity Of steel In the
Hawaiian islands during the war, sub
stftutes for steel had to be used as far
as possible. On one Of the sugar planta-
tions q concrete flume was used to
carry water across gulch. The flume
was formed as an inverted siphon, con-
sisting of rectangular box resting on
concrete columns. 1t is about 67s
feet wide and nearly 5 feet deep
and IL supported about 35 feet above
the bottom of the gulch. A bell-and-
spigot expansion joint connects the
horizontal portion Of the flume with
one of the inclined stacks, the space
between being filled with asphaltic &C.
ment. This joint has operated salts
fac,orily without any signs of leakage

Hair at $40 an Ounce.

Peasant girls of France are more
than ever abandoning the close fitting
native headgear, to wear which they
had to have their tresses cut. In
rural France there is widespread
movement for the adoption Of the
"towny" style, which, If less pictur-
esque, makes for the preservation of
woman's chief glory.
This fact, coupled with the total dis
appearance from the market of
Chinese hair, from which the cheaper
grades of switches" and tails" used
to be made, renders false hair ex-
tremely expensive in France. 'There
are no more so-called hair fairs held
In France nowadays" says a promi.
nent hair specialist, "and natural
blond plaits are worth at least $50 an
ounce.

Tradition Upset.

Trouble with miners is almost pro-

land, there were three big strikes in
successive decades, namely, 1854, 1874
and 1884, and on those occasions the
older men led the younger ones. In
the recent trouble it has been the 9TH

were quite inclined to accept what the

snow Houses IN the Arctic.

A snow house is the most adaptable
Of dwellings. If it gets too warm ell
Their for the comfort Of the inhabi-
tants or because the roof begins to
thaw, you can lower the temperature
by charging the ventilating hole with
your knife. If 1t gets too cold you
make the hole smaller by stuffing a
mitten into 1t. If the roof begins to
thaw because 1t is made of blocks that
are too thick you send man out with
a long knife or machete, and he thins
them down until the frost without
neutralizes the heat from within and
the thawing stops. But If you have
made your roof too thin and boar
frost begins to form from your breath
and from the steam that rises from the
cooking, then a man goes out with a
shovel instead Of a knife and throws
a little soft snow, on the roof to blank
ct it from the excessive cold.-Vilhjal-
muir Stefansson in Harper's Magazine.

Workmanship and Muscles.

Workmanship with the rifle is not

Psychology some tests made by him
which prove that the most accurate
marksmen are those whose muscular
control is so perfect that slight dis
fractions, subjective anxiety and auto

GIVEN HONOR NOT DESERVED
Error Of Learned Men Responsible for
America Being Named After
Iss Amerigo Vespucei.

The story of how the new world re-
ceiyed the name of America is a strfk-
ing example of what publicity will &C.
complish. Amerigo Vespucci, highly
educated Florentine, was head Of a
business house in Seville, Spain, prob
ably as agent for the great trading
firm Of the Medicis, and helped to fit
out one Of the expeditions with which
Columbus sailed. When the latter's
monopoly was revoked, Vespucci I'M
dertook several voyages Of exploration
on his own account, during which he
claimed in many letters to have been
The first to reach the mainland Of the
new continent, giving the date as June,
16, 1897.
On April IS, 1907, the learned heads
of the University Of st. Die, in Lor-
raine, decided, incorrectly, that he was
entitled to the honor Of discovery, Co
lumbus having only reached the
islands of the West Indies, and that
the western hemisphere should bear
his name. The name America was,
therefore, first used in the book Cos
mographiae Introductio," by Martin
Waldseemuller, professor Of cosmog-
raphy at the university.
1t has since been shown that YES
pucci was preceded by both Columbus
and John Cabot, but it was too late,
the new world had been christened
America and the fact advertised in
print. The house where the meeting
was held at which the classical error
was made was still standing at st. Die
ut the outbreak Of the war, and was
annually visited by many tourists from
| both North and South America.
