Statistics gathered in Italy throw
some light on the question of the ; Mo-
tive frequency of earthquakes by day
and by night. It has been alleged
that the supposed greater frequency
of nocturnal quakes is only apparent,
being duo to the fact that quiet con-
ditions at night make the shocks
readily perceptible. It appears, Dow -
ever, that considering only those
shocks which were so intense that
they could not have escaped notice at
any hour, 865 occurred during the 12
night hours, while only 638 occurred
during the 32 day hours.

Mil Girls and Shawls.
The working women and girls of
Lancashire and Yorkshire regard the
shawl as a neeeseity, and especially is
this the case in the colliery districts.
A writer in an English monthly says:
"Domestic duties, performed in vary-
ing temperatures, on washing days
and cleaning days, In the house or
about the yard, are rendered 'safe
under the protection of a shawl. The
mill girl could scarcely get on without
it. It shields her between the milt and
home, winter and cummer, in snow or
rain- It is easily donned or doffel.
It is the handiest of all articles ot
wearing apparel and, as made in Eng-
land to -day, is moderate in cost. A
warm soft shawl would save ninny e
racking cough and (Aare off incipient
