for its second annual women's activi-
ties exhibit, which will be held from

and some of the entries for the ex-
position show the variety Of arts and
industries in which women of the
United States are engaging. One
woman, who is manager of a famous
kennel, has entered an exhibit of
dogs, and another woman, who has
been successful in breeding Persian
cats, also has acquired space to show
her kitten cottage. A woman bird
surgeon has entered a number Of
beautifully colored feathered folk,
while an exhibit of furs will devote a
section of it's space to display of the
silver fox industry. Women in such
trades as hats, gowns. shoes, cos
metics and related lines Will be well
represented. and one of the exhibits
which promises to be most attractive
and entertaining as well as instruc-
tive will be that of a display and
daily demonstration of siiverware.
This entry will be under the direction
OF a woman who has opened the doors
of the silver industry to girls who
desire business career, and she con-
siders 1t highly fascinating as well
as profitable occupation.
Women from all over the country
are seeking allotments of space for
the exhibition of almost every con-
cefvable achievement along business
and professional lines, and the New
York league exposition promises to
be big success.

carried on by the teachers. A nu-

carried on and an improvement noted

done several times. We have very lit

to raise finances was TO give an "Old

use for the boys and girls as we sec

Our greatest drawback is the nom
attendance and lack of interest of a
vast majority of our parents. We hope,
though, these difficulties may soon be
met and next year to have better

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

CYNTHIA is one of the daintieSt and
" most feminine OF all the many
names from which may be- chosen
what seems the best for girl. The
English in particular favor the name.
The first Cynthia was. fittingly
enough for such a poetic name.
goddess. The name was bestowed
upon Artemis, or Diana. the moon
goddess 1t was made as a feminine
version of Cynthus. the name of the
mountain in Delos. her birthplace.
This goddess should be favorfte
with the modern girl. for she was
undoubtedly the first girl to indulge
in all the many sports OF her time
and. according TO mythology, she
showed an independence Of spirit ana
a quick wit that were unique among
the feminine dwCllers on great Mount
Olympus.
ten poems to Cynthia. about Cynthia.
and ascribed all kinds of charms to
women of this name. 1t is OF the
same class as Phyllis and Celia in
idyllic poetry. The name seems to
have inspired many to be poeticai.
The emblem for Cynthia Is the very
appropriate lily of the valley, perfect
in its daintiness and almost over
powering in the cloyinS sweetness or
it's scent. The sentiment FOR Cynthla
is also in keeping with this general
characteristic Of the name. for 1t Is
"delicacy.'
Diana. the first Cynthia. having
been goddess of the moon and woods,
stands for all the fresh and natural
cha rms OF young girlhood.
Several clever and exceedingly
diplomatic British poets chose to i'm
personate her majesty Queen Eliza
beth, in their poems under the name
Cynthia Spencer did so in his Colin
Clout's Come Home Again" and
Fletcher also did so In Purple
Island" Ben johnson likewise fiat
ters the homely virgin queen as
Cynthia the beautiful, in "Cynthia $
Revels, or the Fountain of Self-Love.
This is delightfully."- described as being
"a comicall satyre" acted by the chill
dren of the Queens Chapel in 1900.
Even the gallant Sir Walter Raleigh
sang the praises of Elizabeth under
the name of Cynthia. in the poem he
wrote of that title.
Another advantage of this name is
the fact that 1t has no nickname. Gym
or Cynthy would be the only possible
authorizations and they do not seem
to be used. The name also is unique
in having no odd versions in the diff
ferent countries but retains the one
distinctive form in all languages.

PORTLAND, Ne. September l.
Dollar day" has just been observed
by Portland merchants. but Portland
housewives today are discussing
something of greater import than
bargains in eggbeaters. viz: The ap-

Portland husbands are thinking

SINKING In sea of Singhams and
customers were more shopped upon

into a cafeteria and pointed to a bowl

In a few minutes she was back at

order: Ham and eggs. BY way of

carrots Up to this time her leisurely

tracted undue attention.

But when she again approached the
counter with the declaration that she
believed She wanted something TO
eat. gasp sounded from the as
sempled patrons: Oblivious to the eyes
centered upon her in the cafe, and
careless toward the horde of startled
shoppers halted at the windows. she
picked up her tray and went back to

And now-slre smiled in antfcipa-

as catholic taste as she had in the
selection of the principal part of her
meal. She brought back from the
counter first custard pudding, and
then a piece of blueberry cake When
the last tid-bit had gone once more
she approached the counter.
BY that time the onlookers We're
nearby were unwept. unhonored and
unsung. Temporarily the almighty
dollar ceased rotating. The unidenti-

the source of supply was becoming
increasingly hazardous-had the floor.

She also had some ice cream, a

That would be about ALL With a
smugly satisfied smile she strolled up
to the proprietor-c cashier with her

TAILOR BIRD GOOD SEWER
IN FASTENING LEAVES

The tailor bird, an East Indian
warbler. Is peculiar mainly in his
nest making. The actual structure
of his ingenious cradle has never
been scientifically observed, it Is said,
although tailor birds are common.
He either sews a dead leaf to a
living one, or joins two neighboring
leaves together so as to form a kind
of hanging pouch, which remains at
tached to the branch by the leaf
stalk of one or both leaves.
The threads which the tailor bird
uses consist generally OF twisted
vegetable fibers or of actual cotton
threads the bill serving for a needle
in puncturing holes in the leaves and
in drawing the threads through. Oc-
casionally. If large enough leaf be
found. the nest may be formed by
joining together the free edges of
the leaf. The lower part of the
pouch contains the nest. which is
cup of soft materials, and is entered
from above.

ELOQUENT addresses Of fine sub
stance these, made by Representative
Cpshaw at various times and places
upon questions of national import
here, or of religious and moral sig
nificance there. Whatever the spe-
cial theme, these addresses. without
exception, advocate the Well-oelhS OF
humanity and proclaim the power OF
Righteousness in the manifold analrS
of life. Mr.. Tpshaw is an orator.
Listen. This is his impromptu trib-
ute to Lincoln. made this year on
LncoIn's birthday: There is no new
thing to be said of Lincoln There is
no new thing to be said of the noun
tains or OF the sea, of the stars.
The years go on their way. but the
same old mountains lift their granite
shoulders above the drifting clouds.
and the same mysterious sea beats
upon the shore, and the same silent
stars keep holy vigil above a tired
world But to mountain and sea ana
star men turn forever in unwearied
homage. And thus, with Lincoln. for
he was mountain in grandeur OF
suirit: he was sea i'll underVoiCe of
mystic loneliness; he was star in
.teadfast purity of purpose and of
service. And he. TOO, abides. The
wears go their way. but with the
name of Lincoln childhood still learns
to voice q patriots devotion. and with
the name of Lincoln tears are called
from old mems eyes, and there is no
new thing to be said of him. But
while the republic endures. upon
whose altar he laid his great mind
and heart. while liberty is cherished,
while civic virtue and service and
sacrifice are honored in the earth. the
name of Lincoln will be spoken in
undying love by the sons of men"
