WOMEN TAKING TO MONOCLE
Single Eyeglass Rapidly Becoming Popular Among the Smart Set in
 English Society.

Two fashionably dressed women were seen in Regent street the other day, each wearing monocle screwed into the right eye. According to member of well-known firm of op- ticians the wearing of the single eye glass is becoming popular among wom- en in society.
 "We have had several orders for monOcles from women recently" he said. "In every case there was genu- inc trouble with one eye only. Rather than wear pince-nez fitted with one plain glass for the good eye. they pre- ferred monocles as being the least dis figurement. They all chose those fit ted with gold rims as being the most comfortable and the easiest to keep in the eye They take cords also, for 1t requires the confidence born of long experience to wear a monocle without a guard.
 "After all, why should the monocle be a masculine glass only? It is a mistake for some people to regard it as only a facial decoration for dudes and politicians. Where only one eye is defective a superfuOus glass is a nuisance.
 The monocle lends distinction to the pie with sharpcut features. It is about time that the mOnocle came into it's own."-London Globe

DRAW MILLIONS FROM LAND
Immense Wealth Accruing to Fortu nate Property Owners in the City
 of London, England.

The most elaborate and the largest map in the world is the "valuation" map of the city of London, which was some twenty years in the making, and which is more than thirty feet wide and twenty feet from top to bottom. The map is of the metropolitan dis trict of London. embracing an area of shop and piece of property in that area is shown. Nearly 10000 separate estates are listed.
 Some curious and interesting facts about London landlords are shown by the great map. The wealthiest estate is that of the duke of Westminster, 400 acres, with rent roll of $15.OOO- 900 per year This is not by any means the largest estate in London, however, though it's location makes it the most valuable. In South London is one es- tate which covers four square miles. and there are several exceeding two square miles, Lord Howard de Wal den's estate brings in rents to the amount of S1O,OOOOOO per annum. and the 25O acres belonging to the duke of Bedford rent for $1O5OO,OOO per year. Lord Northampton, the duke of Nor folk Lord Portman and Earl Cadogan each own around 200 acres of city property, and their rents run from about $5,OOO,OOO to $S,0OOOOO per year each. Not bad idea to let city like London grow up around ones farm.

INDIANS TRIBUTE TO MOTHER
Red-Skinned Fighter in World war Proves Worthy Descendant of
 Race of Chiefs.

Wounded With h-Many-ArroWs IS an Indian living in South Dakota.
 According to an Indian custom, the first thing an Indian mother sees or says after her child is born may be chosen as the infants name. The night of his birth, in April, 1891, the mother saw warrior who had been wounded by many arrows; hence the name given to the newborn child.
 Entering the world war in the armies of the great white father at Washington. the first thought of this copper-sknned descendant of race of chiefs was of his mother, whom he named as the beneficiary in his $lO,- GOO government war risk insurance policy.
 The mothers name is Susan-LoveS- the-War and she lives at Wakpola, $. D. She was proud that her son was among the first to respond to the call of the United States for soldiers to fight for their country; she was glad when he came back unharmed, full of wonderful stories of the adventure through which he had passed. And she realized that he had, by allotment of pay and by his insurance policy, demonstrated that all he had was hers, as everything he was he owed to her.

Another Slap at "Mere Man."

Marriage is a desperate thing" said John Selden way back in the six teenth century, and now 1t looks as if we of the twentieth century were do- ing our bit to make it still more des- perate. A begowned dignitary over in Newark has decided (and unfortunate ly his decisions have legal weight) that the lesser portion of the marriage contract has no right to compensation for work performed in odd jobs around the house on his wife's property. such as carpenterng and painting the fence, or washing the dishes. or get ting up to warm the baby's milk when it begins to squall at 3 a. m.
 These things must be done free. He ought to be glad to do them. And if the wife isn't able to persuade him of this the court will undertake to assist her.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

tcc.OLD BUILDING MATERIAL
"Pise," in Use for Many Centuries, Is Merely Simple Form of
 Concrete.

What is pise? The word. which in its complete form is written pise de terre betrays a French origin and. from it's general appearance. might we'll suggest some affinity with the world of art. These preliminary i'm pressions, however will be found mis- leading. There is nothing peculiarly French in pise dwellings, though they are common enough in some parts of France and reference to them abounds in French literature of the eighteenth century.
 The word itself, traced to its Latin origin, apparently means nothing more artistic than 'hattered." Perhaps the simplest definition of pise is provided by Pliny the Elder. who calls it "earth battered between boards" meaning by boards a form such as may be used for concrete in construction work
 The Roman sage adds that it was an old and well-tried system of building and remarks that Hannibal used this material for watch towers on the tops of hills in Spain during his campaign. Who knows whether it was not also in use when CheOps built his Great Pyramid; for there are prehistoric pise buildings in New Mexico and Ari- zona which, some say, date back al most to that period?
 Certainly history cannot trace the system to it's origin, and the p1se dwellings now visible in France, Spain America, the British colonies ana elsewhere may give no complete indi- cation of the extent to which this ma terial was employed in other centuries. Exchange.

Apropos, the story is told of a young prince of the Orient making many friends on the steamer which bore him to England, so that at the conclusion of the voyage these friends arranged a dinner in his honor in LOn- don. It was smart affair and a fash iOnable company, but the prince did not put in an appearance.
