i “Why Rubbers Are Considered Form." " There was a time, not so many years back, when it was not quite fashionable to appear too robust. A little languor was Qonsidered rather becoming in a young woman. Bat that day has passed. The pale, droop- ing, indoor girl has given way to the riding, walking, golf-playing girl. Health has received the seal of fash- ion, And everything that conduces to health is now good form. For instance, in the matter of wearing rubbers. A few years ago a good many women ob- jected to wearing rubbers, on the ground that they detracted from ‘the trim appearance of the foot. But everybody knows that nothing else ruins the health as quickly as wet feet, and the only possible way to have dry feet—especially in winter—i wear rubbers. back into style as indispensable to good health. The added fact that rubbers are now 50 much more shapely and graceful in their lines than they were a dozen years ago, and that theyare now made in such infinite variety, has served, of course, still further to increase their | popularity. —Harper’s Bazar, Holder for Electric Lamps. Magnetism has been applied in an in- genious way to the automatic holding | of electric lamps in any desired posi- tion. The holder of the lamp, which is | thoroughly magnetized, will adhere to any piece of iron or steel at any angle, so that by its use iron workers can se- | cure light at any part of their work without the on the use of a torch. As the light can be made to shine exactly where it is wanted, the magnetic holder is of the greatest service when the workman | ‘is ‘employing the lathe, planer, drill and other tools. Its use in boiler shops is doing away with torches, as it can be carried inside the boiler. For many classes of work, especially the making | of locomotives, it is highly recommend- | ed, not the least of its advantages be- | ing that it frequently enables an as- | gistant to be dispensed with.

Torpedo Boat’s Wear and Tear. So injurious is life on a torpedo boat that a year’s continuous service will mentally and physically incapaci- tate a man. This assertion is made on the authority of Lord Charles Beresford, but that the strain on any- one serving on these crafts is very great is shown by the fact that to one month’s service the British naval regulations allow one week off.

Freddie, aged 5, had been watching his mother prepare the Thanksgiving turkey for dinner, and finally said: “Mamma, I'd rather be a wild turkey than a tame one.” “Why so, dear?” she asked. ‘‘Because,” was the reply, “a wild one can .run arouns on the prairie all his life and a tame one gets killed every year.” “Bessie,” said a north side mother to her fcur-year-old daughter, “here’s three cents; run down to the drug store on the corner and get me a stamped envelope.” A few minutes later Bessie entered the store and the “Well, little girl, what can I do for you?” “If you please, sir,” she replied, “my mamma wants free cents worf of stamped antelope.” Harry, aged 4, while engaged in pick- ing the “drumstick’ of a Thanksgiving turkey partly swallowed one of the tendons, which are so numerous in the legs of a fowl, and was nearly choked. The tendon was finally extracted with great difficulty from the little fellow’s throat, when he exclaimed: “Well, I don’t blame the old turkey: ‘it’s the cook’s fault for not taking off its gar- ters.” Small Johnny had on his best clothes one Sunday and his mamma told him | 4 not to play in the dirt with them on. “Don’t they have any dirt in heaven to play in?” he asked. ‘No, of course not,” replied his mother. “Then what do little boys do up there?’ queried Johnny. “Oh, they play harps ané ging and sit under the beautiful trees,” was the reply. “Then,” said the lit- tle fellow, have trees if there ain’t no dirt.” “I don’t see how they can | | Sterling Remedy Cempany, TWO GRATEFU x, WOMEN Restored to Health by Lydia E.

The standard attained by the per- formance of modern pumping engines is pretty high, as was illustrated by an incident which occurred not long ago in New York, where some large pump- | ing engines that had recently been set | up and were working at rather high speed and almost absolutely without noise, were inspected by an expert ip such matters who hailed from an in- terior city. He remarked: “Well, those engines work very nicely now, but wait until you get to pumping water at that speed, and then you will hear some- thing from them probably.” His aston- ishment nay perhaps be imagined when it was demonstrated to him that they were at that moment pumping water, and had been continuously do- Ing so for forty-eight hours.

It will be of life size or even larger.” King Humbert has just conferred the title of duke of Apulia upon the infant son of the duke and duchess of Aosta, who was born the other day.

And these are just the days for them—this breezy, crisp, autumnal weather, when it’s far too cool for promenading with- out more protection than the jacket gives at the throat and neck, yet hard-' ly winterish enough for storm collars or heavy furs. Some of the newest conceits in boas and collarettes are made of coarse net and mousseling de sole, thickly dotted with chenille pompons. These styles are full at the neck, and have long, well-rounded tabs, which can be caught in grace- fully at the waist or allowed to fall free, at the wearer's will..
