We t u them dally on the street, In t ho cars, la offices, Id our homes. They walk with hi'iids drooping, eyes downcast, foot drag King and with a general air of llst livuness. If thoy nre Indoors they loll upon sofas and chairs, when reading or conversing, no muttor who Is present, and give the general Impression of laziness. Hut this Is not nil. They sit at the table, both at home and In pub llc places, with elbows on the tnblo and logs crossed under the table, with hend thrust forward, chest crnmpod In and shoulders rounded. Yei, they even do worso than this. They nssuino positions In convers ing which would bring tho blush of shame to our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, stately dii:iiea that they were, and which call forth many unpleasant remarks from the opposite sex. Who of us has not seen a group of girls well gowned yes, fault lessly so pretty girls, too, convers ing on Interesting topics music, art, literature, and sitting In such awk ward positions that they appear any thing but refined. Fancy talking about Chopin, Michael Angelo and Da tile In a public place and "slouch ing" like the two girl shown In tho Illustration! F.vcn frivolous conver sation would deserve more dlgnilled positions at least. In public and we should bear this In mind, "lest we forget."

Fixing tho hair, fussing with one's collar and becoming absorbed In one's self In public places are not permissible. Well-bred folk groom themselves In tho boudoir, and when tho doors close behind them they become unconscious of their person al appearance all of which points to the moral that self-consciousness ill detract from anyone's poise.

' There Is a Hindoo proverb to the effect. "I will be what I will be," and this should be the motto of every Rirl who aspires to be free from the habit under discussion.

Pittsburg Gazette. I No More Iiurut Fingers. In comparison to a few pies the house-wife cooks, imagine the num ber handled dally In large bakeries. In these establishments the bakers are continually burning fingers and bands, and such devices as the pie lifter shown here are absolute ne cessities. It Is made of wire, bent to form a grip for the hand, and two rectangular sections for engaging the discs of the pie plate. One of these sections la stationary and one Is pivoted, so that a pie plate of any FOR LIFTING HOT PLATES. size can be lifted. The method of application Is obvious. The lifters are placed under the edges of the hot pU plate, the weight of the pie and plate tending to draw the lifters together and preventing the pie from lipping. It would be difficult to imagine a better method of expedi tiously lifting either pie or cake plates. The weight of a soul having been determined, it is up to some scientist to put the still small voice on the iraphophone record.

Tho KrwitPst rolatlvi) expend In connection with nulonmHles Is not tin) Initial cost of tho car, hut Hip re placing and repairs to Hies. When the great weight of automobiles Is taken Into consideration - an uvor Ht;i of over a ton and tho rough roads over which they travel It not surprising thnt now tires aro constantly needed. A Cleveland timh advocates dispensing with pneumatic: tires entlrnly. As n substitute he fin ploys a wheel, peculinr In construe lion. In this wheel, an Illustration of which la hero shown, tho spokei ure hollow, being made of tubes Encased within each tubular spokn Is u strong spring, which abuts nrrnlnst a projection on the tire, which Is, presumably, of solid rub her. Another innovation a the dlvl slon of the tire huo segments, Ap parcntly, tho Idea of the Inventor Is t!:;t the springs In the spokes will take up tho Jolts and jars of the car One strong factor In favor of such a wheel would be the absence of punc tiired tires, which often are the causo of bad accidents. In this re spect, safety Is assured. Eggs of Various Fowl. The white of an egg Is nearly scv en-elghths water, the balance being pure albumen. The yolk Is slightly less than one-half water. Thoso fig urea apply approximately to the egga of turkeys, hens, geese, ducks and gulma-fowls. To show how nearly nllke the pg;;s of vartotiB domestic fowls are In respect to composition, the following figures are given by the Department of Agriculture: Hen's egg 50 per cent, water, 16 per cent, "protein," 33 er cent, fat Duck's egg 4 6 per cent, water, 17 per cent, "protein," 36 per cent, fat. Goose egg 44 per cent, water, 19 per cent, "protein," 3 6 per cent. fat. Turkey egg 4 8 per cent, wator, 18 per cent, "protein," 33 per cent, fat. It should be explained that "pro tein" Is the stuff that goes to make niusclo and blood. Fat, of courso, la fuel for running the body-machine. Thus It will be seen that eggs, though half, or nearly half, water, are extremly nutritious, containing all the elements required for the building and support of the human body. Hut the old saying that un egg contains as much nutriment as a pound of beetsteak Is far from cor rect. It would be nearer the fact to estimate a pound of eggs as equal to a pound of loan beefsteak In nour ishing power. llfinnrkublo Wreck liaising. A somewhat unusual operation In wreck raising has been carried out In Kiel Harbor. Some time since the torpedo boat "S 126" Bank in port after collision with another war ves sel, and notwithstanding the known condition of the sunken boat the au thorities decided to have It brought to the surface. For this purpose two floating cranes of formidable dimen sions were utilized, and tho broken and twisted hull was fished up from the depths and swung through the air like a bale of merchandise to a lighter, on which it was laid, "'he boat was of steel, and It Is proposed seriously to essay to turn the appar ently Inextricable mans to some use. Huge IUa-stlng Operation. Blasting operations on a large scale recently took place at Cllgwya quarry, near Carnarvou, ono huge rock of 100,000 tons of granite be ing displaced.
