Raysor & Summers, 12-19-6. Plaintiff's Attorneys. Are Blondes Becoming Rare? In one respect the women of to-day are approaching the angelic standard ?namely, in stature. Angels, as shown in pictures, are always tall. The aureole and wings, it is to he feared, are beyond reach. Another peculiarity of the heavenly mes sengers, which earthly young ladies are not Mfcely to Imitate, is that they never wear shoes?not even sandals. So Car as their fair hair is concerned, it may be counterfeited with the help of peroxide, but, if Prof. Mason's theory be correct, the time is not far distant when a real blonde will be snch a rarity that artists who paint anfcels will have trouble to oimun a satisfactory model. The Women of Korea. We can hardly realize the servil ity of the oriental women. In Korea, so deeply sunk in superstition are the people, that women are actually held responsible for the crimes of their husbands, fathers and sons, and they have no rights before the law. A woman, for instance cannot ob tain a divorce from her husband, how ever cruel he may be. but for the most trivial reason he can secure a separation. Only women of the low er classes are allowed on the public streets and even they must cover their faces. Women are allowed to take no part in anything but d'.ud gery. How Baby Slept in the Middle Ages. Baby nowadays has things so much his own way that he would doubtless feel very indignant if he were put to sleep like the baby of the middle ages. The picture shows a style of cradle in use some eight centuries ago, when the custom prevailed of swarth ing the limbs of the poor little mites of humanity in the tightest of swad dling bands. They were strapped down in their cradles so that thej could r.;>r fall nut, or even move.. limb. In the ninth and tenth cen turies cradles were made of a section of the trunk of a tree scooped out. Small holes were bored at the sides and through these straps were passed to fasten the baby In. Later on rock ers were used. Sometimes the cradle was hung by cords or, as in the picture, slung between two wooden supports. In the sixteenth century cradles were often very elaborate and beautiful. Sometimes they were made of silver and again they were of wood, richly carved and ornamented with gilt mo said work. Best Women Sailors. A ship's doctor who has made one hundred voyages declares that the American girl does not become seasick so readily as her European sisters. The English girl is next in order of resistance, while the French girl suc cumbs most easily. Women's troubles very often occur regularly at a certain time every month. Be cause this may have been so all your life, is no reason why it should continue. Many thousands of women, who had previously suffered from troubles similar to yours, due to disorder of the womanly organs, have found welcome relief cr cure in that wonderfully successful medicine for women, Wine of Cardui Mrs. Leota Forte, of Toledo, I1L, writes: "I am well pleased with the results of using Cardui.

So st\ .?rfonal cry for a "Wim?1 Australia." Some of these advanced measures have been hastened; yet socialism here is not merely an after-growth of democracy. From the beginning the Australian governments have owned and operated their railways, tele/ graphs, and telephones. Ia some cases, also, they have kept in their own hands the street railways and electric lighting. All the colonies have government savings banks. In New Zealand there is government in surance against both fire and death. And now the government has under taken to protect the community against strikes and lockouts, much as you protect yourselves against mvder and highway robbery. When volun tary conciliation failed, as it has fail ed in Massachusetts and everywhere else, the practical reformers of New Zealand and Australia did riot fear to enforce compulsory arbitration. Asphalt Laid in Slabs;. A new system of laying asphalt roads is being adopted in London. In stead of paving the road with one homogeneous mass of the material, which means the closing of the thor oughfare for a prolonged period, the asphalt is laid in slabs, in the same mauncr as paving stones, says the Scientific American. The asphalt slabs are previously hardened, so that all it is necessary to do is to lay them down on the prepared foundation and cement them into position with tar. By this system a road can be reopen ed for traffic as rapidly as It is pav ed, while a further distinct advantage Is obtained as, owing to the use of tar at the joints, the surface of the road way is less slippery than in the ease of large, unbroken stretches of as phalt paving. The Tools of Genius. S'une of the greatest discoveries in ohyslcs and chemistry have been Bade with the simplest forms of ap paratus and under the most, modest conditions of laboratory equipment On> need only reeall the achievements of the famous .lehn Dalton, and in later time of Sir Gabriel Stokes, to il lustrate the point. As regards the latter, a comment of Lord Rayleigh is oi interest Stokes's experimental work, he says, was executed with the mcsl ntodcsl appliances. .Many of Iiis discoveries were made In a narrow passage heh.nd the pantry of his house, into the window of which he had ;i shutter fixed with a slit in it und a bracket <m which to place crystals and prisms.?London Tele graph. Gentlewomen Economical. American wives of British peers are usually considered to lie as extrava gant as they are rich. This is lai from being the case. Lady Clinton cannoi tolerate needless waste. The young Duchess of Marlborougli is an other careful housekeeper, and every morning goes through the state's ac counts and checks them. She is said lo have ;i thorough knowledge of bookkeeping. Czar's Relatives. The twenty-three nearest male rel atives of the czar each receive a sal ary of $-l(((i hihi a year from the gov ernment. They own together about 5,000 square miles of land and 325 palaces. They employ about 20,000 servants. Passed Examination Successfully. James Donahue. New Britain, Conn., writes: "I tried several kid ney remedies, and was treated by our best physicians for diabetes, but did not improve untl 1 took Foley's Kidney Cure. After the second bottle I showed improvement, and five bot tles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid exam.nation for life insurance."

Wire Entanglements, Man in Armor and the Star Shell. RUSS AND INGENIOUS JAPS Japan?se Were Not Accustomed to the Searchlights and Were Confused and Blinded by Them?Realized Their Safety Lay in Getting Back to Camp. Among the many contrivances which contributed to make Port Ar thur what it was, nothing exceeded in importance the Russian use of wire entanglements, writes B. W. Norre gaard, war correspondent of the Lon don Daily Mail. The single or double rows of these entanglements were the strongest passive defenses of the for^s. and the .lapaoOse tried many devices to cut tJieir . way-through. At first they Uiougnt to 'au-^^wS^imply with shears, of brought Soi1'" was tr**"^ y SO' .... more success, up during the i the tops of sc then wriggle bau. of the ropes to lift, whore his comrades an "ichi, ni, san," ?? rangement came d Che Russians soon was happening, am tho Japanese tried they found that the wire-braced and wit ?itorts.

One slit at \he top is fu the eyes and the bottom slit it where the man works his shears The shield reaches) to his knees ami is slung from his shoulders. He cofo only walk very slowly, and I do no* think he would have much of a chanc^ in a race with a tortoise. The first man who was .sent out was met by a number of rifle shots, which hit him right in the chest ;\the bul lets din not penetrate the shield, but the impact, which possessed the force of a sledgehammer blow, knocked vu'm clean over. He was not hurt .but ^"ot On ais feet again, and the impact o'2 the bullets made him stop and stag ger, before he reached the entangle ments. Of the active means of defense the Russian searchlights and machine guns came in the fr.rat rank. They ut terly blinded and confused the Jap anese. At one moment the powerful light was glaring lull in their faces, at the next it was suddenly turned off, leaving them in complete and baffling darkness. Then suddenly another light, of which the Russians had nine, threw the ,1apane: e into the fullest relief. Instantly a tremendous Are waa opened up on them from rifles, and especially, from machine guns, which, at this range, played havoc with them on the coverless plain. They could see nothing, t'iey could do nothing; death was amo ig them, and they knew not. how to evade it: they were blind and helpless, and did not know where they were or where the enemy was. Everything got mixed up for them. Even the bra> ^st among them recog nized that there was only one thing to do--get away, away from the slaughter, awa from the cruel light, back to their own camps, back to the night and the darkness. A Japanese machine gun attempted to recover th^ retreat. A star shell instantly dct'jcled it. whereupon a searchlight was turned upon it and the Russian quickfirers went up and commenced their "pom-pom-pom" against it and pill it out of action at once. It was no use: the attack was hopelessly broken. The Japanese be fore the siege were not accustomed to the searchlights. As one of their of flcers said to me, gloomily, after the reverse: "They arc the most deadly weapons we have to face." At Ihnes we could i.. a faint swish in the air when a starshell was fired. A thin, scarcely perceptible curved line of sparks mounting sky ward, a rain of while phosphorus stars sinking slowly, slowly through the dark, a glory of light, a dream of beauty, and an excellent means of illuminating, for a few moments, tho underlying country, In a way that no ten searchlights can do it. because the light, of an immense Intensity, conies from right above, so that there are no deep shadows; everything is laid ' are. not a man can move or live under the circle of lijiht without be ing discovered.
