Two new types of face have been o'clock, | discovered among American- societ; women by Rev. Zed Copp, a Washings fon minister and sociologist. They are those of the bridge whist fiend and the cocktail drinker. i Mr. Copp says these new types are & distinct degeneration from the ortho- dox American beauty. “The bridge whist fiend’s face is as- suming hard lines usually found in the professional gambler’s face,” he said the other night. “Many pretty young women are losing all their tender, soft beauty by leaning over ‘the gambling ::ble until the early hours of morn- g. “The cocktall drinker’s type of face J8 more repulsive than that of the gamblers. The former has a drooping lower lip, bloodshot eyes and a slov- enly languid expression. Sweet cock- talls are the bane of fashionable wom- en.” . ‘Women, especially young girls here, are rapidly becoming more addicted to Intoxicating liquor, while the men are rapidly growing more abstemious, ac- cording to Albert E.

CLEARS CAPITAL OF CATS Edict Against “Strays” Costs Lives of 8,078, and Residents Sleep in Peace. Washington 18 no place for cats. [The death rate is in excess of 22 a day and going up. It is due to the fact that the com- missioners of the District of Columbia on July 1 issued an ediot for the mas- sacre of all cats not belonging to the “aristocracy”—that is, not. having a regular place to eat and sleep. The poundmaster abandoned for the time being his crusade against stray dogs and started after the cats in a way to strike terror to the feline heart. Since July 1 the casualties have been 3,078. Residents of the city have begun to accumulate an unusual quantity of old shoes. It is no fun getting out of bed in the middle of the night and shying & shoe at a back fence when there is no serenading cat on the fence. If the poundmaster keeps up his activity much longer a cat will be as hard to |} find in Washington as a polar bear in the tropies. The commissioners say they will not show any mercy. The edict stands. Cats are to be arrested, brought be- fore a drumhead court and summarily put to death as fast as they can be caught. It the reports that come in from the outlying districts can be credited, some of the terror-stricken cats have: taken to the woods. They seem to prefer being wild cats to being dead:|i¥ cats. Guest Towels. A clever way of introducing color into the dainty guest towel has been evolved by a woman who is always originating fascinating ideas. Want- ing more distinctive coloring than that given by means of a cross-stitch de- : sign, she makes the hems of the huck towel of a plain linen, harmonizing in shade with the cross stitching. The towel has several an inch from the cut edge; this is hem-stitched. Two pieces of linen a trifie more than two inches in width and just a little longer than the width of the towel are cut. These are to make false hems. To make these, turn the ends in and hem very care- fully, so the pieces will be the exact length that the towel is wide. Next, turn the linen in along either of the long edges just the width of a hem. Now slip the rough cut ends of the towel between the folded hems, baste carefully and then hem into position. When finished the ends will be so deft- 1y placed that it will require close in- spection to see just how the colored hems have been accomplished. Primitive Wheat. All cultivated plants have their “an- cestors” which remain in a savage state. The greater part of our vege- tables and fruit trees come from Per~ sla, where they yet have representa- tives that grow spontaneously. All potatoes come from one tubercle. The grapevine grew originally only on the plateaus of Central Asia. Wheat ori- ginated probably in the valley of the PFuphrates, where the necessary hu- midity first semed to work on plant life most favorably. A traveler, who recently visited the highland of Gall- Jee, reports that he has found a wild wheat that must be the progenitor of | the modern wheat. This wild wheat covers extensive areas and is a vigo~ ous plant with marked nutritive prop- erties. It seems proof against drought pr frost and adapts itself easily to srid soll—Harper's Weekly.

Miss Elizabeth Burchenal, inspector pf athletics for the board of education of New York city, who recently' made e study of athletics for girls, with the object of determining what kind of athletics are really helpful to girls, and what kind harmful, has viewed forty women, all graduates of physieal training schools and all of whom have had either practical expe- rience in athletics or else oportunities of observation. As a result of their statements and of her own experience ghe has listed as condemned athletics for mature girls the broad jump, the high jump in competition and pole vaulting, and as doubtful for the mat- ture girl the high jump, running more than 100 yards in competition and weight throwing. For the immature girl the condemned athletics are run- ning more than 100 yards, pole vault- ing and weight throwing,. and the doubtful athletics are basket ball and field hockey. The safe athletics for mature girls Include, according to Miss Borchenal's Investigation, archery, ball throwing, basket ball (women’s rules), climbing, coasting, dancing, field -hockey, golf, horseback riding, cross and side sad- dle, indoor baseball which is played In the open air, low hurdles not in com- petition; skating, skiing, snowshoeing, pwimming, tennis and walking. As especially beneficial for the ma- ture girl Miss Murchenal lists climb- Ing, dancing, jumping, in moderation; running, in moderation, and not in competition; skating, swimming and walking. Chiids Pitiful Attempt to Dle. A remarkable attempt at suicide was made by a boy of eleven in a hop garden, recently near Sandwich, Eng« land. He had been chastised for his plackness in picking hops, and there- upon he went to a secluded spot and pttempted to hang himself with a plece of yarn used for tying hops. Fortunately the lad was discovered in time, and was cut down, and revived. inter- | NOT MUCH ‘REAL DIFFERENCE Mr. Tobe Snagg Discourses Pleasant- ly on Subject of City and Village Society Gessip. “I fajl to observe any great differ- ence,” remarked Mr. Tobe Snagg, “be- tween the ‘Gossip of Society’ notes in the city papers and the ‘Purely Person- Bl' items in the Goshkononk Gazette. Of course, them rich people have long- er names and travel farther than us bhumble Goshkonongians, but, after all, when I read that Mr. and Mrs. Theo- bald Postlethwait Golden-Gawbs and their son, T. Livermore Golden-Gawbs, have returned from motoring on the continent, while their daughter, Lorda Watt Golden-Gawbs, will remain in Jtaly, sketching the old masters, I can’t pee that intrinsically it differs much from the simple statements in the Gazette that Miss Gladys Frump Sun- dayed at Whillerville with Apra Hen- pion and Ralph Slicer, our popular bar- ber, Mondayed in Hunkayunk, and Dab Bocker Tuesdayed in Turgidtown at the home of his widowed sister whose husband suicided two months ago after prsoning the lumber yard. All the parties concerned probably did ali the gadding they could afford, and in pny case not a soul in the livin’ world beyond the persons mentioned was in the slightest degree interested in the recital.” Searching for Hidden Will. The romantic story of a hidden will s arousing keen interest in the neigh- borhood of Bradley Fold, a little vil- lage three miles from Bolton, Lanca- shire, England. Search for the mis- sing document ig belng made by a woman from Gunnersbury, London. She belleves that if she succeeds in her quest, she will become entitled to | ia valuable estate. The search was prompted originally by statements made by a medium at a spiritualistic gseance. The will is supposed to be concealed In & wall sunk in a shed which has been bricked up for many years. It formed a cellar to an old house. The London searcher’s ances- tor, John Bradley, who married his housekeeper, was known to posscss great wealth. No will could be found after his death. I Made First Lightning Rod. Nearly everybody believes that Ben« jamin Franklin was the inventor and constructor of the first lightning rod. In this particular they are mistaken, as the first lightning catcher was in- vented by a poor monk of Bohemia, who put up the first lightning rod on the palace of the curator of Preditz, Moravia, June 15, 1754. The apparatus was composed of a pole surmounted by an iron rod, supporting 12 curved branches and terminating in as many metallic boxes filled with fron ore. The entire system of wires was uni- ted to the earth by a large chain. The enemies of the inventor, jealous of his success, excited the peasants of the lo- cality against him and under the pre- text that his lightning rod was the cause of the excessive dry weather had the rod taken down and the in- ventor imprisoned. Value of Travel. Goethe says that no man has a right to write until he has traveled and lived. Certainly no one has a| right to think he knows what Ilife offers or what earth can give until he travels. Travel does more toward letting us go free of our human. limitations than anything else in life. It frees us by glving us large views, a wide sense of opportunity, a fuller comprehension of the lavish hand which has strewn beauty over the earth. Above all, travel numbs grief be- cause it lifts us from the personal in- to the universal life, the life trium- phant, whatever be the fate of the fregment called one’s self.—Harper's Bazar. ‘We wish to call your attention to the fact that most infectious diseases {such as whooping cough, diphtheria | and scarlet fever are contracted when the child has a cold.
