'lf a lot of' worthy husbands want to

Strangled by Her Collar.
J
The man or woman who wear a tight
fitting collar will find a lesson with a
moral in tha death of Rose Degreran, a
New York woman, says th world. She waa
strangled to death in her aleerj by the
tight collar she wa wearing at th time.
Miss Degeran was a professional cook. On
the afternoon of her death she was taking
a few minutes' rest on th sofa and feel
ing rather tired, she dozed off and wa
soon sleeping soundly.
An hour or sa later, when every effort
to rouse her had failed, a doctor waa sent
for In alarm. Dr. Rosa of New York hos
pital responded and pronounced her dead.
8h had died easily and palnleasly In her
sleep, strangled to death, because her col
lar was too tight. In turning her head in
her sleep she had unconsciously Increased
the tightness of the collar on her throat
Thla promptly stopped th circulation of
th blood to the brain, taking her from a
stat of sleep Into on of Insensibility. As
th tight collar alao prevented respiration
ah slowly strangled to death, powerleas to
save herself.

Ice Cheap in Persia -
The fact that ice Is plentiful and cheap
makes living in Persia more pleasant than
It would otherwise be, and the fact that
it can be obtained at all is Indicative of
the Ingenuity of the people of the country,
The ground Is so porous that water perco
lates through quickly. There are therefore
few rivers or lakes from which Ice can be
obtained, and It Is seldom so cold In any
part of Persia that loe of a thloknese suit
able for packing would form under the
direct rays of ths sun. The Persian ob
tains his ice by making a shallow pool and
building a high wall which will protect It
from the aun. A thin layer of ice will
form; this he floods at night with water,
and so he goes on adding Inch to Inch until
he can out a block of considerable thick

Loretta's Looking Glass-Held Up to the Snappy Woman

Tour conversation la a series of snaps
and Jabs. A ploture of It would be con
fusingly Ilk a Mors alphabet But, un
fortunately, it Is not of ths BtUI-llf type,
lending Itself to the serenity' of silence.
It Is always bursting, with small and
scratchy xploslveneas, into the harmony
and peace of mind of your associates.
Just aa surely as the breakfast table
la a scene of domeatla bliss, you are seised
with the notion that you must be the in
centive to speed. You begin with your
well-known snaps.
"PLEASE pas's the waffles. Some of
the ; rest of us have business to look
after. ' We cannot waste all day here!"
The waffles are at your husband's left
hand. He hastens to set them changed
to your neighborhood. Not because he
wants to hurry, but becauae he, like
other mistaken humans, cherishes the false
Idea that a snappy woman can be robbed
of her snapptness by acceding to the re
quest that the first snap expresses. But
It Is useless.
"Drink your coffee before It gets
cold!' Is the next explosive you hurl.
Just on the face of the snap it appears
to be consideration for the palate rf the

Thereafter his toast scrapes. The water
he drinks feels rough. And you make a
trio In the scraping finery that envelopes

"Are you going out this morning?" he
asks with would-be solicitude. "Tha day
Is fine. You ought to get out in the sun
shine!"
"I have other things to do!" you snap,
managing to insinuate a reproach and a
complaint In your steel-trap observation.
It Is too much. He wads hla napkin
up and makes a quick progresa to his
hat In the hall. You have gotten him
"hurried off." Harried would be a better
word; but those of tha human family who
ara most like the reptile with the active
Jaws, you never seem to appreciate that
your snaps leave scars.
And you snappers are so clever. When
you are being courted you can make your
snapping seem like a mere radiation of
a valuable energy. You can delude the
lover Into thinking that you are of the
sprightly, energetic, animated, competent
variety of women, You can make him

will be electrically alive to execute all

Father Was Game

"When I knew John Flake," said a west
ern politician, "he was in the lumber busi
ness In a western city with his son as a
partner. Both were heavyweights and both
had the same name. John, sr., for years
had scaled about 960 pounds. He was a
mammoth man, being more than six feet
tan, very wide and very deep-chested. His
son waa constructed on similar lines, and
they were styled by their Intimate as the
'heavyweight firm.'
" 'Father,' remarked th son one day, 'I
rather think that I've been gaining on yoj
lately, and I wouldn't be surprised If I
weighed more than you do now,'
" 'Foolish talk, my boy, I'll beat you by
100 pounds. You are heavy, but you are
rot In my class yet."
" "Let's get on the scales and find cut
What do you ay?
"Quite willing to submit to the test they
weighed. John, sr., balanced the beam at
exactly 362 pounds. ' John, jr. scaled Wi.
Although astonished, John, sr., merely raid,
'I didn't think It, John, and you certainly
don't look It, my boy.
"Separating, the young man gave no
more thought to the incident, but the next
day he was further surprised. Tha firm's
name had been changed. Hitherto It had
read 'John Flske Son,' but now the de
posed heavyweight had transformed It to
'John Fluke A Father.' " St Louts Republic
1904. The poulation of Nevada and Wyoming
In 1910, together, la about equal to the popu
lation of the hospitals Insane In the Uni
ted States. The total annual cost of caring
for the insane In the United States is In
the neighborhood of $fO,0u0.O0O per year.
About oneslxth of the total expenditure

Insanity Spreads Fast
J
Seretary Homer Folks of the Stat Chari
ties assoiatlon of New York says In th
Amerian Review of Reviews that It will
doubtless surprise most persons to know
that the number of Insane persons tn hos
pltals tn the United States on January 1,
104 (no later figures are available for the
ountry as a whole), waa not leas than
lfiO.lBL This was more than double the
number In 1890, which was 74,028.
From 1904 to 1610 the Insane In hospitals
In New York alone Increased 26 per cent.
It is safe to say that the insane now In
hospitals In the United States number, st
least 200,000. These unfortunates, if gath
ered together In one place, would make up
a city approximately the size of Rochester,
St. Paul, Seattle, Denver or Louisville. '
Th population of th stat of Delaware
In 1910 Is almost exactly th same aa tha

The hen la such a cheerful bird,
I think of her today,
And as she lays so many eggs,
I'll sing to her a lay.
From dawn to dark, on busy days,
She's always up to scratch.
And when she's brooding on her nest
She has some plot to hatch.
Her language is a little harsh.
Her voice Is sharp and raw,
But It Is very sweet to hear
Her laying "cut-ter-qua-a-a-w!"
She never has been noted for
A surplusage of brains.
Folks say she doesn't know enough
To go in when It rains.
1
She may not know so very much
As learning goes, and yet
Without her we could never have
A Spanish omelet.
Kind nature has endowed her with
A genuine rubber neck.
And when she wants some corn to eat
She goes and takes a peck.
Her natural temperament Is calm.
And placid Is her mind.
Though she g?ts quite excited when
A dog comes up behind.
8he always takes what comes to bar,
And doesn't blam her luck
If she has but on little chick
To summon with her "cluck I"
And she 1 moat persistent, too.
If she can only get
A doorknob, ahe will start right In
To hatch a dinner set.
In short, she is a useful bird.
For agea ahe has tolled
To please us. and we like her beat
When six months old and broiled!
