In the course of the trial of a marital
dispute In New York a few days ago
a comedian stated that be used to earn
$40 to $50 a week on the atage, but
that since the moving picture shows be-
came the vogue, he was unable to sup-
port his family. Here is another econo-
mic tragedy.
Investigation made by the women's
committee of the Sage Foundation show
that 47 per cent. of the women who
work in factohies in New York City
earn less than $6 a week. 'Tbe average
wages of the women woraers are about
$250 a year. Life on suck wages in a
great city can hardly be luxurious.
The National Association of Mexican
War Veterans met at Indianapolis a few

There is to be another "fight" against
the New York State anti -gambling laws.
This time we are not treated to the ar-
gument that the fight is to save horse
racing. "in the interest of horse -breed-
ing," but to "save the $15,000,009 which
they have invested in racing machinery."
That is bettet. But •the morals of the
issue remain the same.
A serious rabies outbreak is reported
from West Chester county, N. Y. The
disease is also reported from Niagara
county, near Lewiston, and both that
place and Royalton have been quarantin-

is credited to infected dogs crossing the
Niagara River.

4,449, of whom 466 died. This year they
had a "sena" Fourth, and only 2,923
persons were injured, of whom 131 died.
Still, one joyous Fourth is more &es-

While Great Britain by law prohibits

It is a legal requirement, moreover, that

As everybody knows, Deercombe lies
on tlie Devon coast; it is one of the spots
beloved by tourists, and scarcely -a year
passes but what some magazine conteine
an artiele full of poetry and illustrated
by engravings extolling elie patural beau-
ties of the tiny village,
Until a few year ago, quite recently,
in fact, Deercombe consisted of e few
fishermen's cottages, clustering up the
hill from the.sea, a church, 01e and ugly,
a village inn, mid, the ancestral home ot
the Villiers.
Tourists at that time knew it not, and
the guide books passed it silently by;
but some enthusiastic' though indiscreet
newspaper man happened uponit,wroto
an article in his paper, and the deed was
done.
But though, many houses and villas
spiting up about •the grassy slopes, not
so much harm was doue.
It was too far from London far the
regular speculative builders, and most, ot
the new residences were occupied by re-
tired inamliglf-pay officers, the chess
which seems he have selected Devonseire
its own peculiar property.
In the drawing -room of one of these
'new houses, called "The allinse'oprobably

anee to their faces a-hich not even the

The room in which they sit was fur-
nisbed in the execrable style known as
modern antique; the curtains, were of
dullish gray, the 'carpets to match, the
chairs -were hard and uncomfortable; an
imitation Chippendale mirior stood over
a badly worked. mantel border, which
hot even a couple of framed peacock's
feathers could render aesthetic:
A dull fire-buined sullenly and smok-
ed fitfully, and the draught that oozed
from the misfitting doors and windows
blew the thin tablecloth to and fro like
the sails of a boat tacking across the
wind.
On the hall hung some awful oil paint-
ings, which would have given an artist
a fit, and about half a dram water 4 et-
ers, the handiwork of the two young la-
dies, which would have. finished him and
kille,d him outright.
On the table and scattered about on
tho chairs were a motley collection of
dross materials and old frocks, and the
two ladies each herd a pile of patterns in
their hands; examining them frowningly.
"A pink, the proper pink, shaded with
_blue, the proper blue," said Julia, the
older, picking out the colors and putting
thein together in the lamplight, "is not a
bad idea.' .
assented Emmeline, the
younger. "But it wants a complexion."
Julia, whose complexion was her weak
point, and her constant anxiety, flushed
angrily.
"I was thinking of a dress for myself,"
she retorted, "not for you!"
"Yee, I know, dear," responded Em-
meline, "that is why I say the combina-
tion wants a complexion to carry it off."
Julia glanced at the glass—the cheap
glass, with 'the sticky, ill -made and
mock Queen .Anne frame—and reddened.
"At any rate," she said, biting her
lip, "I have some color! I am not quite
yellow I"
"Oh, no, dear, not quite! Who ever
said quite? But blue and pink! Now,
a nice violet—"
e "The refuge of the desolate!'" retorted
Julia, "I shall go in cream; it always
looks nice and it simplifies matters."
It does indeed," remarked Enuneline.
"If there are a hundred and fifty wom-
en at this ball, I'll be bound the hundred
wear cream. For heaven's eake, let us
show that we have originality!" .
Julia flung the pattern on the table.
"The best thing would be to stay
away," she said, going to the window
and peeping out.
Emmeline laughed.
"How delighted papa would be! The
thought of these two dresses lute made
him miserable for the last four' days.

Julia, relidened angrily—her younger
sister cold always succeed in *hoisting
her flag," as Emmeline called it—and,
suatehing up a bundle, was starting,
with offended dignity, to the door, when
it opened almost upon her nose, and a
young girl entered.

Standing there, she presented a con-
trast to the other two girls which was
marke4 and conspicuous.
The two Misses Olivers were thin ard
'padded," with carefully made-up faces
and artfully arranged hair; their
clothes if the aesthetic style, fitted
them to perfection, and yet lacked that

hood should ripen into womanhood -
'ler face was a perfect oval, with the
clear complexion of a true brunette.
She was dressed in a plain brown mer-
ino; which had by long service grown so
familiar with her figure as to cling to
it lovingly; as her only protection
against the chill October evening, she
had tlerown on a rough cloak with a
hood, which she had turned tirelessly
over her head, and which served as au
outer frame for the beautiful face fram-
ed inwardly by the mass of- dark golden..
brown hair.
Her eyes were a clear gray, soft yet
brilliant with light, and emphasized
brows Of dark brown which lent a seri-
*ire expression to the lovely eyes be-
neath.
The two girls looked at her with that
half -concealed expression of envy with
which plan, 111-netured women regard
the well -favored of their sex."
"Where on earth have you been,
jean?" demanded julia, querulously;
"we have been waiting for you this
half hour and more!"
"I?" said Soon, and her vocie claimed
in upon the hard, unsympathetic tone of
Miss Oliver like a strain of music after
a discord; "I have been on the cliffs."
"On the cliffs, on a night like this,
dark as pitch, and raining! No oue but
a lunatic or yourself yould be capable
of such folly! What on earth amusement
you can find in it puzzles me!"
"Amusement!" echoed Joan, with her
lips half apart, and her eyes fixed
dreamily on the ugly, ungainly lamp.
"No, there is not much amusement, but
there isn't much anywhere."
"A very gracious speechl" snapped.
Julia. "At any rate, I should. think
our society, contemptuously as you re-
gard it, must be better than your own,
alone on the Coombe cliffs."
"I had no idea it was so late," said
Joan, quietly, "or that you wanted me;
and tho night is not fie bad—tleere is a
beautiful sea—"
Emmeline shuddered.
"Oh, -please, don't. A beautiful see
on a night like this! I am quite miser-
able enough without being rendered
wretched by the thought of the seat
Take some of those things up, -will you;
papa will be in directly, and they must
be got out of the way before he comes."
Joan went down on her knees an be-
gan to gather up the stuffs and old
frocks in silence for a moment; thee she
said, surprised, but absently, as if
her thoughts were elsewhere:
"Are you having some, new dresses?
Where are you going?"
Julia uttered an exclamation of irri-
table impatience.
"Just listen to her, Em; wouldn't any
one think she had just dropped from the
moon d and hadn't heard a word of the
ball."
"Oh, tho ball! Yee, 1 remember," said
• joan, as quietly as before "And while
have you chcraeh?" and very girl -
like, she picked up the patterns and
turned them over,
"None," snapped Julia, shortly. "We
can't decide. Perhaps you'd better give
us your opinion," she added with affect-
ed indifference.
Joan took up Ohe piece of mateeial
after another, slowly and with the rapt
dreamy exprestion habitual with her,
and presently threw a red and gray
nun's veiling over her shoulders. '
• "Is that pretty?" she said, turning
to them.
It was pretty, decidedly pretty, in jux-
taposition with her clear skin and love-
ly hair, but the two girls theught of
their own complexions tout faded hair,
and colored angrily.
"It might become a savage," eaid
Julia, coldly. "It certainly would not
suit a civilized being. For Reaven's
sake take it off!"
Sean put the cloths aside composedly,
and turning to the remaining ones,
pieked out several others and draped
them across Julia's shoulders.
"Look in the glass," she said, "and
tell me *Melt you like. See now, that is

grudgingly.

eomnia. My physician prescribed the
following treatment On first reeking

to lie still and coax sleep back, but to"
rise at onee, take a little exercise or read

think too deeply. Then he advised stiy

Two reasons are given by Mrs. Young
for her desire to use ROman type and

They work their way up the coast from

early in March, when the fish begin to

Protecting the s.yre Sird.
So great has been the destruction
wrought upon the beautiful lyre bird ot
Queensland (Henura superba), that the
State has absolutely protected the bird.
till the middle of 1915; a £5 penalty
is atteched to its capture, or injury, or
taking it's eggs. Still the bird is getting
scarcer and searcer.
It is the extraordinary lyre form de-
velopment of the tail feathers which
tempts the sordid vandala. The contour
of the bird, with its long neck and stout
gallinacious feet, is by no means unlike
that of a peacock, and the wonderful
tail, possessed only by the male birds,
fulfils n corresponding role of vain dis-
play. The bird executes antics for A.
train ,c4f female admirers on a raised
earthen mound. For a short period of
the year, about January, the lyre bird
loses its characteristic phiMos and 'has to
be content with the sober plumage of .
its mate. The fully developed mole lyre
bird is one of the most handsome end
notable of the forms of bird life ot
Queensland.—From the London Globe.
