ONE IN TWENTY A PAUPER

Old Age Pension Law Telle Appalling . £tory of British Poverty. ' London. —The first three weeks ot the Old Age Pension law, which became operative on January 1, developed the appalling fact that one person in every twenty in England and Wales is a pauper. In London the ratio is one in fourteen, and the figures gathered tell such a story of national poverty that the Government is believed to be in danger. The Liberals are fast becoming unpopular for their forcing of the act upon the country, as it is already manifest the pensions will greatly increase the tax rate. More than 500,000 persons have been found eligible for old-age pensions, and it Is expected this total within the next few months will reach 690,000. Figures compiled within the last few weeks and given to the public to-day give a population to England and Wales of 34,945,600. The number of paupers is 1,709,436, while 2,209,436 receive Government aid, either as paupers or old-age pensioners. While one person in twenty is listed as a pauper, with paupers and old-age pensioners combined, the figures*stand at one to ..sixteen. One person in fourteen in London is a pauper exclusive of the pensioners. The Old Age Pension law has many restrictions, so that it does not reveal the full extent of the national penury. A full pension of $1.20 goes only to those over 70 years of age, and who have never accepted charity and who never have been in prison. There are about a dozen minor disabilities, yet despite all restrictions 500,000 persons are registered for full or partial penslohs. The Socialists are making capital out of the condition, and the LaborItes also are turning It to their political advantage. Many newspapers also are using the situation as an argument in favor of a high protective tariff. The old-age pensions have become the ruling problem of politics, and the Conservatives are confident the revelations of .the last few weeks will lead to their early return to power.

GIRL MAY SIT ON HIS LAP.

Also She Can Kiss Her Sweetheart Good Night Oesplte Papa. Cleveland, Ohio. —A girl may sit on her sweetheart’s lap in perfect security from interference from the law, according to Judge Addams, of the Juvenile Court He refused the plea of an ira x e parent, the father leaving the court room too speedily for the Court to learn the names of the principals in the comedy. The girl’s father came into court demanding the arrest of his daughter, that the Court might reform her courting by awing her. “She is sixteen,*’ he said. *T came down stairs at half-past eleven at night and found her sitting on a young man’s knees, her arms around his neck. I told her to go to bed at once and ordered the young man away. ' She kissed him good night right before my eyes. I want you to awe her.” “There is no law by which I can interfere,” said the judge. “No court sitting on her sweetheart's knees.”

REFUSES $5,000 BEQUEST.

Woman Testifies that Neighbor was incompetent to Make Will. Syracuse, N. Y. —Declaring that she was not entitled to the money, Mrs. Mary J. Joyce, of Cicero, Onondaga County, refused a $5,000 bequest in the Surrogate’s Court She was a neighbor of the late Miss Mary F. Hervey, .of North Syracuse, whose estate was valued at SB,OOO, and it was she who made the bequest to Mrs. Joyce. Miss Hervey had no heirs, and she gave $2,500 to Moses Frlnstein, of Syracuse, and -the residue to Mrs. Joyce. William Mettlem, of De Kalb, HL, an uncle of the decedent, now gets the money on Mrs. Joyce’s testimony that Miss Hervey was incompetent Ths probate of the will was refused. <

Side Jabots New Neckwear Novelty

The only novelty in the neckwear line is the side jabot, and this is being shown in every conceivable form, both attached to the lingerie waist and separate, as a piece of neckwear. The exclusive shops and the depart-, ment stores are showing tremendously big assortments, and all of the novelties ere in active movement The exclusive shops are using real laces almost altogether for these big pieces of neckwear. Valenciennes, point de Milan, and Mechlin laces are greatly used for this purpose. Manline laces are also very popular and are especially attractive in champagne and cream tones. The usual way of wearing the wide plaited jabot frill is to fasten it inside of the- right rever of the jacket, and then, by pinning the opposite edge of the frill to the left shoulder, the whole front of the corsage is covered with the plaited frill This necessitates use of wide lace of fine quality and makes the jabot somewhat expensive. Prominent among the jabots is one soniewhat in fichu form, developed in handkerchief linen, with deep edgings of real Valenciennes lace. Instead of the usual straight band descending down the center to hold the ‘jabot frills there is a plaited shaped section, which curves slightly to the right, and the frills bordering this descend in the fichu form passing from the left shoulder to the right side In a gentle curving line. Another interesting neckpiece forms the entire front of the bodice, the whole being in butterfly effect and falling in cascade plaits. The center of this is a piece of tucked net shaped into the butterfly by wide, fine Mechlin lace. When worn without the -jacket the lace falls on opposite sides, but with the jacket the side at the right is pinned over toward the left, thus forming the double one side frills. A third piece has the straight band collar and three plaited tabs of unequal length falling straight in the front. Another pretty novelty is developed in fine point d’esprit with narrow of Velenclennes lace. This is the edge of Valenclnnes lace. This is the single rever or plaited frill, and has the standing collar band. Another interesting jabot finishes with the black velvet neckband with small necktie bow directly in front. The center strip which holds the plaited frill is trimmed in the style of a shirt front, with hand cuttings and tiny frills of lace, while down the center are little buttons of black velvet.

Novel Way to Serve.

A novel way to feerve salad is in the form of small wagons. The necessary ingredients for each wagon are four round crackers about the size of a silver dollar, four wooden toothpicks, and a double, long, narrow reception wafer. Lap the flat ends of two toothpicks and sew together. Run a needle through the centers of round crackers, and insert pointed ends of toothpicks in perforations thus made. Scatter shredded lettuce leaf over plate upon which place four wheels prepared as above. Upon the axles made of toothpicks place the double reception wafer, upon which the lettuce leaves are placed for the salad. Any kind of salad can be served. The fork should be placed under wagon, the handle of which serves for the tongue of wagon.

To Prevent Cold Sores

To prevent a trouble one must first understand the cause. This eruption is often associated with colds, fevers, malaria, diseases of the lungs, and disturbances of digestion. Sometimes prolonged exposure to the sun, when on the water, calls forth the trouble. Now and then a decayed tooth seems to be the cause. It is possibly, but not probably, due to a microbe. The eruption is distinctly neurotic. The condition to which it is due is not always discoverable. The application of sweet spirits of niter to the spot at Its first appearance will often prevent Ite further development

Renewing Porch Awning.

How to renew old porch awnings or small tents for 20 cents —I took my old, faded, and sotted awning and dyed it a dark green. You can get any shade at the drug store for 10 cents a package. Your awnings or tents will look like new. I used a large sized galvanized wash tub to dye It in. Follow directions on package. Dark green is the most soothing color for the eyes. I used two packages, which cost 20 cents. This dye will not stain the tub.

Canned Tomatoes.

Take a pan of ripe tomatoes and cover with scalding het water; dip them out, remove the skins, leaving the fruit whole. Lay in a dripping pan (just one layer) and put in a hot oven. Heat them through and remove, putting into warm jars, seal at once.

For She Who Would a-Journey Go.

Do not burden yourself with too much clothing. This sounds but like the story that never loses anything in the telling, luggage seldom loses any weight In traveling and It Is foolish to burden one’s self with more than Is needed. Take enough undermuellns and outer garments to keep fresh and trim In appearance, but Is Is foolish beyond words to take more than you can wear. It only means additional trouble In packing and unpacking. And who wants trouble on a holiday? Do not be persuaded Into buying cheap souvenirs or ridiculous mementoes for which you have no earthly use. They only take up space and are usually a nuisance. Besides, It Is more sensible to save your money for articles you really desire or need. And do not rush. One is always tempted t<> dp and see everything, but it Is far wiser to take matters leisurely and calmly Instead of rushing shout in a breakneck and trying fashion. Remember to have some si—MTstioa te yusr bedfe

LONDON SCHOOLS.

In Some Ways the American System, Though Bigger, is Inferior. London schools have school sittings, New York 689,959, not aU occupied in either case. London baa 5,038 men teachers and 12.431 women to 2,740 men and 15,651 women in New York. As these latter figures apparently include some duplication in evening schools London’s teaching fonce is proportionately much stronger, especially in men. The smaller number of pupils in London means partly that more of the children of the moderately well to do there attend private schools, partly that the children of* the London poor leave school for work at an earlier average age. Though the New York system Is bigger It is behind London In some respects, according to the American Educational Review. That city has four open air schoolstfor mentally and physically defective children, who are apparently already well looked after, as they should be In every city.

Natural Wells in Yucatan.

Since Yucatan, where the Mayas built their strange cities, Is a coral limestone formation, it would, says a writer In Records of the Past, have been a barren desert but, for its subterranean riven, and thetcenotes, or water caverns, which give access to them. The Mayas noted the courses of the underground streams and built their towns round the cenotes. Many cenotes are now found surrounded by ruins, and give frkpc&tkais of the methods employed by the Mayas to reach their cool waters. In Uxmal a cenote about 40 feet deep ls< inhabited by a peculiar species ot fish. At Bolanchen there Is a cenote having five openings in the rocks at the bottom of the cavern. Ladders made ,by tying tree trunks together lead down a total distance of 1,400 feet, but the perpendicular depth from the surface to the water Is not over*,soo feet

Big Game and Disease.

It has been suggested that the big game of Africa should be'systematlcally exterminated In order to abolish the "fly fever” by destroying the principal means of -nourishment of the tsetse. In regard to this suggestion, Sir David Bruce says that while it Is true that the tsetse disappears when the big game Is killed off, there are other African diseases-similar to the fiy disease which are .‘not spread by the tsetse. Although “civilization and big game cannot “exist together," he thinks that the proposed wholesale destruction all over Africa would be quite unjustifiable. Ast the new country is divided ,off into (farms, the big game must go, but should be a gradual one, applied only as the exigencies demand. For at least a thousand years to comeithere ought to be room in Africa fori big game reserves.

Illuminating Shells.

Experiments have recently been made at Toulon with! shells intended to illuminate the seat at a distance from the land, thss disclosing the presence and movements of an enemy at night. The shells are»made to explode at a great height, k and to give light for a Sufficient thneito permit an examination of the surface of the sea for several miles «from the shore. The officers in charge of the experiments regard the illuminating shells as more effective than search-lights in disclosing the position of hostile.ships. Another form of shell has been proposed, which shall, in bursting over the sea, spread a cloud of thick Smoke about the batteries on shore, thus preventing their seeing the approaching ships, and rendering the illuminating shells useless.' ” :

Fossils as Sign-Posts.

The recent discovery in the. southern part of Madagascar of reptilian fossils, which geologists affirm belong to the Permian epoch, leads to the expectation that coal will be found there. In India, Australia and southern Africa the strata containing the remains of these animals are characterized by the presence of coal-beds. The likejihood that the same condition of affairs will be found in Madagascar is regarded as being much strengthened by the association of one of the fossils recently discovered with a leaf of glossopterls, one of the plants most distinctive of the Permian coal formations in the southern hemisphere.

A South Arabian Food Plant.

Jowarl, a tall slender plant resembling com and headed with a grain something like millet, is the Abdall’s chief crop. He feeds the stalk to his camels and eats the grain hlmself. Three crops a year are produced. Jowarl requires little cultivar tton except weeding, which the Abdall does by hand, and when ripe he cuts It off close to the ground with his hunting knife. New shoots spring Bp from the roots to become the next crop. For a camel lead of about 128 pounds he receives at Aden an average of two rupees, or $64.88. A fair yearly yield is twenty camel loads an here.

The Grand Canyon.

It is of course, possible that the Grand Canyon of the Colorado may have been a “crack" in the earth caused by earthquake action, but tn the books on geology we are given to understand that it is the result of the wearing down of the strata by the action at the waters at the rtvw. It is icapoesfbte to get at anyth** like a Grand Canyon. The figures of the pootagMe differ, but att agm that Q* migbtr gorge has boon maay taMfrdt
