A "hasbandette" Is apt to bo found ■washing tho dishes In a "kitchenette." With gome assistance from gasoline this has become a pretty fast country. The truth may be the worst of In sults, but that does not necessarily make it a libel. Fashion doesn't give fine feathers a chance to make fine birds; It needs them all for hats. When it comes to having bulldogs stolen by burglars, one must Indeed feel the biting irony of fate. It's Just about time for a new dis ease to be discovered. Pelagra and fcookworm are becoming ordinary. To eave our life, we can't get deeply Interested in the tomb of Ananias. Thero are too many live liars in this world. The proposed trouper reform has raised a groat howl in the ranks of the knock-kneed, pigeon-toed and thin shanked Apollos. A man in Boston wants a divorce becauses his wife throws knives at him. It takes so little to make some husbands peevish. Scientists have discovered a new ele ment, celtium. Will it also be used as a cancer cure until another new ele ment Is discovered? A Boston woman advances the theory that overeating is likely to cause race suicide. It is likely also to cause bankruptcy. The light of a new star recently dis covered In the Milky Way was 150 years In reaching the earth. Pretty slow, as things go now. New York subway crowds fatally trampled upon a young woman. And yet that city is hoping for a popula tion of 35,000,000 eventually. We are assured that a race of bald headed women is threatened. Maybe, but many a man will not discover any evidences of this until after the nup tial knot Is tied. A "western man tried to commit sui cide because he had too much house work to do. He had reached a point where breaking dishes no longer re lieved Ills feelings. A Chicago professor has won an automobile inn guesalng contest. We believe this is the first time a Chicago college professor has ever admitted that he was guessing. In Ohio there is a judge who holds that a woman may take money from her husband without his knowledge or consent and be guiltless of steal ing. This Is likely to cause more bachelors to struggle along without wives. At a hearing in New York on a pro posed ordinance to limit the length and powers for mischief of the femi nine hatpin a number of women pres ent approved of the measure and not a single voice was raised against It. The fair sex may always be rellod on to do the anexpected thing.

Democratic Party Unwise In Its A»- sumption of Victory In the Com ing Presidential Campaign— Significance In Figures. There la a widespread Impression that the test of public sentiment In the fall of 1910 Indicated a complete landslide for the Democratic ticket in 1912. It Is generally believed that the Democrats swept the country by an enormous majority In the total vote for congressmen, and that they have only to come somewhere near holding their ground to repeat that triumph in the presidential campaign. The figures do not - warrant this conclusion. There was no stich one sided fight last fall. There is no rea son to expect anything of the kind next year. Taking the vote for congressmen as the test throughout the country, be cause some states held no election for state offices und in others the results were much mixed, the official returns show that the Republicans carried 24 states in 1910, with a total of 210 electoral votes. These states are California. Connecticut. Delaware. Idaho. Illinois, lowa, Kansas, Massa chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota. Mon tana, Nebraska, Nevada. New Hamp shire, North Dakota, Oregon, Penn sylvania, Rhode Island. South Dakota. Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wiscon sin and Wyoming. The Democrats carried twenty-two states with a total of 273 electoral votes. They were successful in Ala bama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana. Kentucky, Louis lana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. On the total popular vote for Con gressmen the Democratic margin was about equal to the sum of the Demo cratic majorities in Texas and Louis iana. Outside of three or four states In the South where the elections al ways go by default, without a real contest, the Republicans carried the country on the vote for congressmen. Looking only at the electoral vote as it would be If the states all re mained next year where they stood last November, it should be noted that New York has thirty-nine votes in the electoral college, on the appor tionment as it is today. The Empire State will be relatively stronger in 1912. If the thirty-nine votes of New York are subtracted from the total of 273 votes which the Democrats would have on the basis of last fall's test of public sentiment, only 234 remain. If the thirty-nine votes of New York are added to the 210 which seemed safely Republican last November the total rises to 249, or fifteen more than the Democrats appear to have a chance of getting without New York. Looks Like a Case of Quality. A free-trade paper cites the price of beef in El Paso, Texas, and in Ju arez, Mexico, across the Rio Grande, as evidence of the effect of the tarifT on the cost of food. Says this remark able source of light and leading: "One pound of sirloin steak in El- Pbso costs 15 cents; just across the Rio Grande in Juarez 5 cents buys a pound of steak. The tariff is IVi cents a pound." On the face of the figures the tariff cannot possibly account for B*£ cents out of the total difference of 10 cents. What explains 85 per cent, of the In crease over Mexican prices when the International boundary is crossed? The tariff cannot be held responsible for more than 15 per cent, of the dif ference, at the utmost. It looks like a case of quality In the meat, together with generally primi tive an 9 antiquated ways of working and doing business in the land of Diaz and the insurrectos. Penalty of Our Indifference. The history of the relation of the Cnited States to the rest of the American republics Is for the most part a history of indlfTerence and neglect. We have not known nor cared how the younger Bisters were faring. We have gone our ways to our farm* and our merchandise as If they had no existence. Ilrazil. the Argentine and Chill have done mar velous things In iVe conquest of new countries und the building up of mighty cities; but no part of the glory has been ours. . . . To be neglectful of moral and human obll gallons is always expensive in a money sense also.

" t Ij it 17 uit >nd congress sits in extra session th« tariff will be the principal topic c.f discussion, and the chairman of the ways and means committee will lead the discussion. The moves he makes will all be closely appraised. The words he utters in debate will all be read and reread with caxe. The re vision proponed will be known —at the start at least— as the Underwood re vision. If the unexpected should hap pen, and the senate, through a com bination of insurgent Republicans and Democrats, Bhould accept the house's work, the new law will be known as the Underwood law. For these rea sons a very white light will beat on the gentleman from Alabama from the moment ho takes the .reins. His home is in Birmingham—a prosperous city, with the local capital invested in manufactures. The iron in dustry flourishes there, and the place is called in business circles the Pitts burg of the South. Protection as a policy is well considered even In Democratic circles. Birmingham has profited by its operations. And con stituencies. north, south, east and west, after discovering a good thing and feeling its value want to hold on to it. How will Mr. Underwood, an out spoken revenue-tariff man. meet the emergency and with what result to his personal fortunes? Several of his Democratic predecessors in a similar endeavor "lost out." Colonel Morri son of Illinois, by his course as chair man of ways and means, weakened himself at homo, and in a few years had to yield his place. Mr. Mills was more fortunate, and survived his tar iff bill ten years, going meanwhile to the senate. But his influence waned after his tariff fight, and Mr. Bailey's attitude today on the tariff is not that of Mr. Mills of 20 odd years ago. Mr. Springer's popgun bills were not se riously regarded, but they contributed to his retirement from congress. It was Mr. Wilson of West Virginia who paid a heavy and Immediate pen alty for his tariff views and record. His constituents were interested In protection, and resented his course in the revision of 1894. which in part bore his name. Down he went at the first chance they got at him. Mr. Cleveland broke his fall with an ap pointment to the cabinet, and from the cabinet he passed to the presi dency of a Virginia college, but his political hold at home was completely destroyed. Mr. Underwood will tread a difficult path, and probably knows it. He has said that some of his protection con stituents consider him a free trader, while some of his associates in con gress. because of his constituents, consider him a protectionist. When he gets into his stride as chairman of ways and means both sides may attack him. and if they do his road will be as rocky as the famous one to Dublin. A straddle on the tariff is the most frequently attempted, and yet the most difficult, thing in our politics. Knox Plan Working Well. That the arbitration agreement be tween Peru and Ecuador arranged by Secretary Knox and recently signed in Washington has already brought about good feeling between the two countries is indicated by the an nouncement that Senor M. H. Cor nejo, Peruvian minister to Spain, and L. F. Carbo, the Ecuadorean peace commissioner, will sail together in adjoining suites on the Hamburg- American steamship Prince Joachim, leaving for Colon on Saturday. The recent acuteness of their respective nations' relations were apparently for gotten as they marched up arm In ami to the steamship offices to pur chase their tickets. No Thought of Annexation. President Taft has frankly dis avowed that reciprocity has the slightest relation to political union with Canada and now Premier Lau rler of the Dominion is allaying the fears of the timorous on his side of the international boundary. There it) no occasion for misunderstanding on this subject and there would be no apprehension but for the deliberate attempts made in certain quarters to misrepresent the facta for the pur pose of arousing opposition to the plan. But thinking people in the United States and Canada will not be deceived by such transparent trick ery. Could Get Lion's Share.

THREE of the prettiest shapes among the new hats for spring are shown here. One might choose with i the eyes shut and be sure of pos- ( sensing grace, style and real beauty to anj of these. They tit well and are , only moderately large. Hemp and mllan appear to lead In the point of popularity, but there are innumerable lovely models In other braids as well—hair braid, pyroxylin, chip, leghorn, tuscan, In fact every braid. Including the rough Japs, flnds a following, and there is no lack of variety In size or shape. The hair braids and hemps are greatly favored for dress hats to be trimmed with French plumes and lace or ribbon—or both. Mllans and hemps are liked for big masses of flowers. Many of these trimmed with big bunches of lilacs are blooming in tri umph at Palm Beach just now. A great many shapes are shown with borders (called "flanges") of vel vet, and come are faced with velvet. Small shapes with upturned brims nearly always are improved by a vel vet facing on the brim or coronet. The velvet flange is an undoubted ad vantage, adding finish and distinction to the shape. Its placing Is a matter of perfect workmanship. It will be noticed that crowns in the hats are conservative; they are not specially large or high or notice able In any way. The achievement of FOR CHILD'S WEAR IN SPRING Dr«as of White Dimity Is About the Most Dainty That Can Pos sibly Be Devised. Tigc and I are sweethearts —all that troubles me Is that his old brown coat never gets too old to wear, so I can't make him nice new clothes like what mamma makes for me. This is my new white dimity for spring. Mamma says she likes to have all her sewing done by the time hot weather comes.

This Is a good sign. So far there seems to be an absence of freaklshness this sea son, In any direction. It looks as If flowers were to catch the fancy of all women young enough to wear flower-laden shapes. They are so pretty. Both the hats and flowers come In great ranges of lovely colors. Milans In the yellow or nat ural color and hemps In all colors give a choice from grave to gay and all the notes between. There is a shape for every face. It is very essential to pick out the most becoming one and this Is a serious matter. MEDIUM STYLES FOR SPRING Coming Millinery Will Offer Many Choices, So That Surely All May Be Suited. The woman who cannot find millin ery to suit her this season will Indeed be very difficult to please. Not in many years has It been made possible for women to be so sanely and, at the same time, so fashionably hatted as at present. The styles are medium In all things. Crowns are moderately high, brlniß are neither too wide nor too narrow, and trimmings are in no wise exag gerated. The smart-looking turbans are most attractive and come In a variety of models and colorings to suit every type of face. As a rule, two colors are combined, and not infrequently two fabrics besides the trimmings. A soft, coarse, rather wide straw and the fine braid of crinoline are a favor ed combination. The crown In folds will be of the heavier straw and the crushed brim of the crinoline or hair. The golden shades, which Include lem on, ecru and leghorn, are preferred for the crown, while the brim will be of a contrasting co!or, as blue, dark red, green or black. No lesß attractive than the shapes are the trimmlnKS. The cockade of chanticleer red velvet decorating a hat of golden and black tones is an example of smart, becoming lines. A modified sugar loaf hat, the crown en tirely concealed under tiny rosebuds, and the brim of black flexible straw, Is another pretty model. A tiny blackbird nestling on the left side is the only trimming The fashionable trimmings are small flowers, single quills, small birds, me dium wings, soft ribbons and velvet. Now for Turned-Up Hats. Once more will it bo possible tc sen women's eyes and hair. Mat brlmi still will be large, but they are to b< turned up.

WOULD LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT WITH ITCHING ECZEMA "Ever since I can remember I was n terrible sufferer of eczema and other irritating skin diseases. I would lie awake all night, and my suffering was intolerable. A scaly humor set tled on my back, and being but a child, I naturally scratched St. It was a burning, itching sensation, and utterly intolerable, In fact, it was so that I could not possibly forget about it.. It did not take long before It Bpread to my shoulders and arms, and I was almost covered with a mass of raw flesh on account of my scratching it. I was in such a condition that my hands were tied. 112 "A number of physicians were call ed, but it seemed beyond their medl ical power and knowledge to cur© me. Having tried numerous treat ments without deriving any benefit from them, I had given myself up to the mercy of my dreadful malady, but I thought I would take the Cuticura treatment as a last resort. Words cannot express my gratitude to the one who created 'The Cuticura Mira cles,' as I have named them, for now I feel as if I never suffered from even a pimple. My disease was routed by Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and I shall never cease praising the wonder ful merits they contain. I will never be without them, in fact, I can almost dare any skin diseases to attack me so long as I have Cuticura Remedies in the house. I hope that this letter will give other sufferers an idea of how I suffered, and also hope that they will not pass the 'Cuticura Life Saving Station.'" (Signed) C.
