(By Mail to Unit- Press.)—Lady Astor is disappoint- women. ‘And she. told them so in a speech ich she made to masses of them at @ opening of the Englishwoman's hibition. “T am glad that the days of the niging, dependent women are over,” @ said. “When I'was a child I used 0 read about heroines who fainted the sight of a rat and wondered if ‘would grow up like that.” However, while admitting that wo- have outgrown these puerities, eplored: their lack of logic {n the 5. “This is a testing time for women,” she 'continued, “but when I walked own Bond street and see the way ey dress, I think they have been ted, and have failed. What should we think if men changed the length of their trousers every year?” she d ; " Lady Astor appealed to the wom- en to dress more sensiblyy as men do. Her idea seemed to be #hat if their skirts reached a logical conclusion, their brains might get there some day, too. Another grudge which Lady Astor has against women is their absolute lack of loyalty. She declared that women would not vote for women, just. because they were women— whereas men never refrained from voting for a member of their own séx merely because he was of that Judging from opinions expressed by. members of the audience, most of the women there were entirely in ac- cord with Lady Astor. They agreed that in the main women were foolish creatures. That is why they vote for men.: < .G. W.. Beauaoux of Minneapotis; has arrived-in Bemidji and will be connected with the Stellar.company.

There are no pussyfoots among the Insects. Hundreds of wasps were ob- served recently among the fir trees’ of Keston Lakes crawling eagerly - over spindles «nd sucking at drops of tur- pentine which form at this time of year. A vast humming came from the ! trees, reminiscent of the midsummer ring over the heated hay flelds, - Large flles aud ‘biue-bottles were also- seen. In many cases the insects consumed so much of the firewater that they fell ! to the ground In a drunken stupor, or ! clupg hazlly: to the trees. The wolf- ! gpider, chasing its prey through the grass like a dog, was having a rich larvest, Other insects came to the bacchanalisn repast. A species ' of aphis was inuch in evidence and also i its keeper, the ant, busy milking it of its gathered liquor.—From the Cont!- nental Edition of the London Daily ‘Mall.

Horn books were used as early as the 'Sixteenth century by the school- boys of that day, and acquiring even the fundamentals of education by’ them was a tedious occupation; Books, as they are known today, were not to be had for the asking, and ‘such, a8 were in existence were not to be trust: ed to the grimy hands of small boys. The horn book resulted. It consisted of a single page contalning the’ alpha bet or simple words pasted to'a thin oak. board, apd. covere@ over’ with a'f sheet of homntransparent enough so] that the young eyes could make out the lettering beneath. The horn: was fastened to the board with thin strips of brass, and the scholar could get the uffair as dirty as he wisbed, a damp cloth renewing at will. “As Light as Air» “I have often been amuséd at this phrase,” writes a correspondent.. “It Is used by povelists and poets in & manner which suggests that air has no weight.
