GREAT YEAR FOR BRUNETTES
'Blondes do Not Show to Advantage'
in Season's Modes,
At a recent syie sbow held in Wash -
lege,' under tlie patronage of a com-
mittee of society women the living
models choeen Were girls with brown
Asir and brown eyes. No matter hoev
ean beatItiful a girl of the blonde teem
„Jr - might be, she did not have a chance
of beteg chosen tor the show. The
blonde girl is not admired this sea.son,
Yor she does not bring out the good
po-infs of the new "creations" and
"dreams" launched by the Paris dress-
makers for the winter season.
Poiret, the most daring of the Parte
/tress artists, still clings to the orien-
tal in his latest models, Me has
esnally acknowledged his "Jape pante-
]on" or Turkish trouser skirt to be a
failure, but the wonderful vivid color-
eng,of the orient still holds his atten-
don, and in some of his startling new
afternoon and evening frocks he has
eombined vivid. reds, blues, and
.geeens--color schemes which would be
lurid and terrible except when com-
bined with the master hand of a
Poiret and worn by a womati of the
eight type.
The fair beauty of a blonde model is
nclipsed when she dons one of these
terocks, with its Vivid color notes. Site
as not the woman to set it off to best
advantage, so an olive skinned, al
moned-eyed beauty is chosen in hen
place. It is said there will be no
elaxen haired models ernployed at any
of the big style .shows held in thls
eeentry or Paris.

Royal CominIssfon, Finds That Its

One of the most valuable Medical
reports ever lesued by a province of
Canada le that of the Berta Comte -
Mon on Tuberculosis in' Quebec.
In the Province kof Quebec the
death ate froth tuberculosis is much
higher than it is in Ontario and In
5 the neighboring American Steles, and
it is higher among the French-speak-
ing population of the province than
among the English-speaking residents
of Quebec. It appears to the corn-
s inissioners that the causes of this re-
markable condition are found in the

fiuenees of industrial work. The
English-speaking population, accord-
ing to the report, fill the better in-
dustrial posts, are better paid in con-
sequence, and live in healthier sur-
roundings. The commissioners say
that reform must proceed along the
Hues of attempting to improve the
conditions of Industrial work for the
French-Cauadians, and are dissemin-
ating among them a greater knowledge
of the lasvs of health.
More Women Die Than Men.
Regarding the remarkable fact that
in Quebec women fall more readily
victims to tbe disease than men, the
commissioners say that for the six
Winter months the women of the
province, as a rule, 'mend most of
their time immured indoors, and to
preserve warmth the houses are too
frequently sealed against any fresh
air. Even In the Summer it is the
custom to keep the blinds down and
the windows closed, in order to make
e houses moderately cool. They
option the fact that the high birth
te among Prench-Canadian women
ay also be a factor, since, following
ildbirth, the resistance to infection
any sort is lowered. There is also
be considered the fact that the
rger families of the French-Cana-
ans makes necessary the huddling
teenier of many persons in smelt
oma, a condition that is highly
vorahle to the development of the
beret° bacilli. More than twice as
any French-Canadian women die of
bereulosts, according to population,
English women. Compared With
e lecidence of tbe disease in the
le sex, that among the women is
222 compared with 164.
Climate and Disease.
As regards the relation of climate
the disease, the cornmistioners find
1, apart from the efforts of people
eping too much indoors, it is an.
ignificant one. The disease is
ghtly more prevalent in March than
any ether month of the year, and
slightly less prevalent in Septem-

A Very High Death Rate.
Just how serious the problem of
tuberculosis Is for tbe Province of
Quebec may be Judged from the fact
that one-third of all deaths in the
province are attributed to it. It is
more deadly than all other Infectious
diseases combiaed. Only infantie
diarrhoea of all specific diseases conk
ralts greater ravages. In tuberculosis
more than half the victims fall be-
en the ages of 15 and 34, and
e than one-thhen between the ages
0 and 45. Only two States in the
n, eybich keep accurate records,
O higher death rate; that in
treat Is probably higher than any
✓ city on this continent or in the
alt Isles, and in comparison with
nteen civilized countries, Quebec
ds stens as regards the death rate
tuberculosis. A first long stride
rd huproving her position has
made by the publication of the
able report from which. tbese
facts are taken.

TAXATION IN QUEBEC
Religious Institutions Must Pay, Un-
less Educational or Charitable
The city of Quebec will in the future
assese end tax all religious inetitutione
'which are neither educational nor
charitable. institutions. In spite of the
fact that tee law, since half a cell.
tury, dld not exempt from taxatioe
this kind of religious institetions,
have always been exempted. Mayor
Drouin promieed that the law would
be applied to all. The city asseseors
had stated before the 'aldermen that,
two years ago, they were instructed
to assess the religious institutions
which were caryyleg on laundry and
printing business in -that part or the
biulding where tbey were carrying on
business, and when he suggegted to
eorne of them that they should Pay
taxea on those departments, they were
informed by them that the law exemp•
te ealiem from taxes. And things rn
meneed as they were. In the future
laundry and printing or printing shope
run by religious orders shall pay taxes
in order totn on equal footing with
the
s m lar industries velth
which they compete. This Innovatiott,
whicb will surely be fought before the
courts, would mean an Increase of
over $.10,000 on tlie city's annual
revenue from taxation.

CANADA'S MORTALITY
Over Half the People Die Before 25
Years of Age.
Slr Richard Scott declared,. in the
Senate, that it should be the highest
duty of every government to see that
iaWS were matle and enforced for the
preservation of public health. The
government of Canada had not lived
up to their duty on the question. The
Dominion placed the duty of caring
for public bealth on the provinces and
the provinces passed it back to the
Dominion. Tbe census figures show-
ed that 81,000 persons were born In
Canada in 1901, and of these 81,000
persons, 21,828 died before becoming
O year old, and 10,019 died within
the next four Years. The record was
O shockleg one, but the census figures
hhowed that whne 81,000 persons had
been born in that year, there had in
the previous 25 years been 93,595
deaths of persons who did not reach
the age of 26. It was a tragic thing
to think that over half tbe people
born in a single year In Canada,
should die before they had passed
their 25th year. Most of the cbildren
who died 'under the age of tbree were
murdered through the ignorant ad-
ministration of deadly soothing lo -
done of various kinds.

AMONG THE CANNIBALS
Rev. M. Paton Described Life, In the.
New Hebrides.
Rev, M. Paton of the New Hebrides
Islands, speaking in Almonte recently,
described many of the custome of the
cannibals among . whom he tethered.
One cruel balk which they had was
to bury alive those who nad been ill
for some time. He told of many such
instances winch be had come in touch
with, and 1101.' in a couple of cases tie
had arrived in time to open the grave
and save the victim before being, suffo-
cated.
He also described the ceremony at
weddings, ant. explained that young
girls only 12 years of age used to be
married to old men in many cases
who would soon die with the result
that Ole girl would be married many
teams, and each time she was man
ried her rank in society became lower.
Since many of these people have
become Christianized their habits
bave changed very much, and Rey. Mr.
Paton said that now the women had
equal rights with men.
There was no need of agitation for
wonlan suffrage there, he said. When
a girl wants to get married she just
decides whom slit- desires and the
man has to marry her.

deposit was discovered by Chief Com-

was not what led him to the distoveey,
but the fact that the quicksilver, or

Pew persons are aware that experts

site of the Garden of Eden can aetual-
ly be determined with a fair amount
of accuracy. They maintain that It
lies in Mesopotamia somewhere be -

there has just been set in toot a
scheme for restoring the Garden ot
Eden.
The dtstrict is et the present day
almost a desert. But there is abun-
dant proof that it was once a fertile
paradise. And the proposed restore -
tion, vibich will tiike the form of a
selentlfic restoratiou, is undertaken aa
much in the belief that it will Prove
a profitable commercial enterprise 09
for its religious association.
'Under the direction of Sir John
Jankson, an army of 3,000 workers hate
already started on the paelinnentree •
work, whice consists of preparing the
land for the canals and other water-
ways which will be fed by a series of
gigantic clamming operations of the .
ancient rivers of Tignie and Eupbretes.
It is estimated that the scheme will
cost about twenty minions sterling,,.
