WOMEN IN TROUSERS. onto Whos Work Compels Thorn to Dispense With Draperies. The Ides, of a woman In trousers Hems to be the most horrible that the modern civilized mind can conjure up, bat there are parts of the world where women wear these garments as a matter of coarse, and the heavens have not yet fallen. They even contrive to look charming In them. too. as In one of the cantons of Switzerland, where the bifurcated garment Is worn on dress occasions as well as for work. Hot eren at the altar are the trousers discarded. The bride wears white ones, with a white bodice and white flowers In her hair, and many a bride In a court train Is less shy and sweet.

In spite of -their trousers, which are necessitated by the work they do in the fields, these women do not ride astride, bat use a sidesaddle Just like the woman who Is trammeled by skirts. The trousers of Switzerland are loose, -baggy affairs, sometimes almost cumbersome as skirts, but the peasant maids of the Austrian Tyrol wear abort, close fitting small clothes, which . cannotttmpede their movements In any way and which 'are not particularly becoming. The socks do not meet the trousers and the knee is left bare, like hlghlander's. The upper part of the costume has some feminine touches, and' over the trousers is a short drapery, which may be the remains of a skirt. These women work in the fields and stables and are compelled by their life to dispense with superfluous draperies. French, and Belgian flsherwomen wear trousers. They wade through the water, pushing their nets before them, and the heavy waves would soon m-reeo them off their. feet ithey

Appointment Clerk Pindell , Explains Census positions

(American News Service! Washington, IX CL, Sept. 16. -Appointment Clerk Pindell of the U. S. Census bureau, states on the subject of the census examination, October 23, that the distinction between the permanent census force and the additional temporary employes provided by the thirteenth census act is quite important and should be remembered. As vacancies occur on the permanent census roll they will be filled, as heretofore, by transfers from elsewhere in the service, or by selections from the existing registers of the civil service commission. Persons now on the registers of the commission are, therefore, eligible for appointment to vacancies on the permanent census roll, but there is no greater opportunity during the decennial period for such appointments than there has been heretofore. The additional temporary positions, authorized by the thirteenth census act, except those above $1 ,200 per annum which will be filled largely by transfers from the permanent census roll, will be given to those persons who pass the test examination on October 23rd. Those now on the registers of the civil service commission, who desire appointment to these additional census places, should take the test examination as their present eligibility avails them nothing in respect to appointments to these positions. The fact that a person is on the civil service register does not prevent him from taking this test examination. Of the four clerical divisions into which the additional census force are separated, class A comprises those engaged in the operating of card punching and card tabulating machines; class B, those operating typewriters, adding machines, or combined typewriter adding machines; class O, those

engaged in manuscript tabulation and other clerical work; class D, the subclerical workers. The entrance salary for classes A, B and C, will be $000 per annum, subject to possible promotion to at least $900 a year. The minimum of $600 per year will also apply to employes paid on the piece-price basis. Class D will be: messengers, $840; assistant messengers, $720; messenger boys, $480; watchmen, $720; laborers, $720 and charwomen, $240. All original appointments for these classes will be made from the eligible registers furnished by test examination. These will be five in number. The first will carry the names of all persons 18 years of age or over who pass the examination. ; The second will list those on the first register, who have had previous experience in operating card-punching, card tabulating or card sorting machines in census work. The placing of a person's name on this register will not affect his eligibiliy on the first, third and fourth registers. The third register will contain the names of all those on the first register who make an average of 70 on the test in typewriter tabulation. Persons who pass this test will, by so doing, Improve their chances of appointment. Nor does

entry on this affect the eligibility on

the first, second or fourth register.

The fourth register will comprise the

names of all the male eligibles on the

first reeister who have expressed a

willingness to accept employment in sub-clerical class T. Entry on this register will not affect eligibility ou the first, second or third registers. The fifth register will be for the

boys of 16 and less than 18 years of

age who pass the examination and become eligible for appointment as messenger boys. Only one kind of examination will be given all applicants.

For marking linen or cotton this juice Is mixed with quicklime. It can be made into marking ink by treating the nut with a mixture of alcohol and sulphuric ether and is also used for black varnish.

HIS STORIT DOUBTED Authorities Are Not Inclined to Believe Marshall Was Held Up.

WOULD HAVE USED PISTOL

Local authorities are Inclined to believe that Robert Schools, the nineteen year old colored bo,y who was severely beaten by Harry Marshall of New Paris, did not attempt to hold up Marshall, as the latter charges,. Marshall, it is said, bears no particular good will toward Afro-Americans, and it is understood knocked a member of this race off a New Paris interurban car at Tenth and Main streets last winter. The authorities say that if Schools had attempted to hold up Marshall,

they would give him credit for hav

ing enough sense to secure a gun and

not attempt the wild west stunt with

a razor. It is the belief of the authorities that Marshall prompted the assault and the negro retaliated to his discomfiture.

Watering btrcets In China. The watering of the streets in China is still a very primitive business. The water is first drawn up in baskets from wells by means of a rope and pulley. This sounds somewhat ridiculous, but the baskets are very closely woven and when wet form thoroughly serviceable vessels, possessing the valuable quality of lightness. The water is next carried in wooden tubs and distributed by men armed with basket ladles attached to long wooden handles, with which they splash "spoonfuls" of fluid over the dusty street. This crude machinery is all the more astonishing when one reflects that the Chinaman is extremely clever in a mechanical way. He is, however, inherently conservative and sticks to old methods on principle, even though common sense tells him they are absurd. Wide World Magazine.

AUSTRALIAN DINGOS.

Treacherous and Destructive Animals That Can Feign Death. There are some who believe, though the evidence seems against them, that certain of the wild dogs, like the Australian dingo "yellow dog dingo, always hungry, dusty in the sun" are reversions to the wild state of a race once tame, just as the pariah dogs ot various countries have traveled ball the road toward becoming wild anl mats again. As one sees the singe here in tb gardens it looks net merely like a domesticated dog. but like a dog of distinctly engaging and amicable kiud The dingo's character belies its gen titlooks.

"I did knock. Hubert. Indeed I knocked twice.", she said half apologetically. "I beg your pardon. Irma. I was so absorbed sorting my library and then, honest. I did not expect you her. Irma let herself . drop In an armchair furtheat away from the row of windows. It was Quite dark in her corner. "To telt the truthlike yourself." she added with a mile. "I did not knock very hard. No use alarming the whole house, you know." She rose and took two little etepe toward Hubert. "Ah, what Is the use of trying to keep anything from your Hubert, I sneaked i up here unbeknown to anybody." Then perceiving the cloud gathering on the man's forehead, she reddened and tried te soften the edges of her confession.

No. I am not holding you back even though our separation Is to last ten years. "When you return your blood will run cold I will be without beauty, youth.

"Paradoxes, Irma." "Not quite. Because you are the soul ot honesty, you allow your tongue, but that only, to prevaricate." "And yours to talk like a magician In a fairy play. 1 confess I cannot follow you." "Tou say this with a smile Ah. Hubert, your merriment is a sham even as your words are misleading and your neart aches even as mine does. As a matter of tact, your position Is not a whit better than my own. There is but one alternative for both of us; either to lie or deceive." -And the truth, Irma; the truth?" "If you spoke the truth, man behold the deceiver, a trusting husband's and friend's deceiver!

"Yes. yes. he Is goodness and generosity personified. I honored him. I almost loved him when you came into my life and turned peace and tranquility into chaos." "By my soul. Irma. I had no Idea of estranging you from your husband." "Yet you alone are to blame. Aa for me. X might have continued happy, because not unhappy, but the look you gave me at our Initial meeting sufficed for an eternity of mischief. Perhaps you did not know It. but the flame that sprung up In your eye touched and encircled my heart, snared my senses, so full was It of the Joy of the conqueror, the realization of hope, and longing.

Hubert, even If we had never exchanged another word after the first "how do yon do. henceforth my life would have run on different lines, there would have been a radical transformation of Its purpose." Hubert attempted to remonstrate, bet Irnva cut short his "sophistries." "Do not seek to Impress me with commonplaces In which yon have no faith yourself." ahe said bluntly. "Ton are a coward, and so am i. I say the things I do say. not because X want to. but because X obey Impulses beyond my control. Something new In a woman's life, la my life, has happened.
