A Yankee Samson

For long time Grandfather Higgins
insisted that he was very light Sleep
er and that a slight noise would al
ways waken him. On the other hand,
grandmother was sure that he could
sleep sounder than the ordinary per-
son-so sure, indeed that she declared
she could cut off his wh!skers some
night without his knowing it until
morning Grandfather retorted that,
II she could succeed in doing 1t, he
would go with her to visit their son
In Idaho.
For few days grandmother said
no more about it; apparently both had
forgotten the conversation. But one
morning when grandfather awoke his
throat and the lower part of his face
felt unusually cold. He sat up In bed,
put his hand to his face, and utter
ing little cry, jumped up and hur-
ried to the mirror. Sure enough, his
whiskers We're gone. He looked round
in bewiderment and saw mass of
grayiSh-white hair and pair of grand
mothers shears on a chair beside the
bed. Grandmother was right -

Mardi Gras at New Orleans.

The New Orleans observance of the
Mardi Gras has been growing steadily
since its establishment in 1880, and is
now numbered among the most bril-
liant of the public and social festivi-
ties of the United States. His Ma
iesty Rex, the king of the carnival,
first rode at the head of body OF
Arabic troops in honor of the Russian
Grand Duke Alexis in 1872. The ex-
pertinent was success, and Rex be-
came an established favorite. The
Mystic Crewe of Comus," however,
antedates this portion of the carnival
by some Is yeArs, for it was in 1857
that the first "Mystic Crewe" appeared
in fantastic night parade of gor-
geous floats, manned by masked rev.
elers. But so many additions have
been made to the Mardi Gras that now
Rex and Comus are only two features
of magnificent celebration which EN-
braces the entire city.

JAP GIRLS GET INTO LINE
Increasing Physical Activity and Inde.
pendence Are Regarded as Of
Particular Significance.

A new freedom in physical move
ment is discernible if not obvious in
feminine Japan. 1t can be noted on
the street in the little girls play. AL
ways they have had the most varied
line of games and were fairly active,
but nothing so unladylike as jumping
over stick, sort of pole vault with
out the pole. Now this Is not unusual
in the larger towns, and surprisingly
high do these wooden clogged, XII
monoed, pig-tailed youngsters jump,
and with much abandon.
In the girls schools there is much
more activity than even three years
ago of the kind that past generations
of American mothers called tomboy
ishness, and increasing interest in ten
mis- and basketball. Also it is not un-
becoming now for maiden or matron
to hold up her head in line with her
spine, and frankly look on at this
world and, all its membranes. For
merly 1t was almost the great unpar
donable not to carry the head slightly
forward, with eyes downcast. This
attitude of humiliation is now becom-
ing fcarfully old-fashioned.
Foreign teachers of long experience
say that the change in this respect is
striking in the classroom. Students
when reciting now look MP squarely at
the instructor instead of at their knees
rs formerly. AS this is not taught
thing, hut the reflex Of change with
in,. vital enough to overcome teaching
and inherited tendency, it Is signifi-
cant.
Another change. trifling. but
straw that shows the direction and We
locity of the current, Is the growing
habit Of man and wife to walk side by
side on the street instead of my lady
pi@eon-toeing along about pace In the
rear of her lord.-St ribner's Magazine.

Newburyport, Mass.-A horse that

Deliveries of steel mills in the
western market are falling further
behind With the exception OF
plates no promises or delivery are
now being made Requests for hur-
ried shipments are numerous and
mills are making efforts to increase
operations.
The labor situation In the Calumet
territory Is seriously hampering
output. as other lines of industry

instances Car builders are report
ed to be paying 40 cents an hour
while common labor IN the steel
mills is getting rs to 80 cents.
Railroad car business is again ac-

sheets is heavy. Reports on the
local market yesterday were that
the Pennsylvania road Is about to
place an order for 10000 cars. This
rumor was also current some time
ago.
During tie last few days car or
ders involving approximately $4,000
tons of steel have been placed. The
Nickel Plate road has purchased
1000 auto cars, the Wabash railroad

The Northern Pacific railroad has

In the rail market the demand for
light rails ia heavy. One inquiry

large railroad which recently placed
a large order for rails has come in

order. The leading producer in this
territory will turn out about 10000
tons this week at it's Gary mill.

these results is estimated that If tu-
cause of death, I'VE and a half years
would be added to the life of each
individual in this country. Scientists
have placed the economic value of ev-
cry life at $4,000 per year. If tuber-
culosis can be done away with in this
country with a hundred million popu-
lation the annual economic saving
would be about twenty-five billion dol
lars. The sale Of Christmas Red Cross
seals goes toward furthering the fight
against tuberculosis.
The worst feature about tuberculo-
sis is that it kills the producers, the
most productive and necessary people,
taking it's toll mostly from between the
