Over 400 women made application for patents in Great Britain last year, : Queen Mary of England saves $563,000 a year due to her economiz- ing ways, German army officers are forbid- den to take the arm of a woman when walking with them. . Women school teachers in Cin- cinnati have been placed on the same equal as the men teachers. Mortality among widows is much greater than among married wo- men of the same age. Oleveland women are working for the appointment of a woman as market inspector. The mayor of Covington, Ky., bas been asked to appoint & woman as & member of the police force. There are over 6,000,000 working women in the United States whose average galary is only $6 per week. London does not admit women physicians as resident or staff oii- cers in any of the hospitals.

Tour of King and 'Queen Will In- volve Big Expense. , Here are some interesting details of a Royal visit such as the King and Queen are going to pay France. No one who has no knowledge of what a State visit means can form any idea of the intricacy and fuss of its preparation. Diplomatic ne- gotiations have gone forward for months, and as soon as a date has been settled for the State visit the first preparations begin. The expenses are astonishing. It is said that it costs even French President, who travels in compara- tive simplicity, at least $200 .an hour. The question of clothes in itself is a gigantic one, the Ger- man Emperor taking with him, for instance, fifteen large trunks of clothes only. When he goes on a military tour of inspection he is said to need seventeen uniforms. A sovereign on a visit of State travels with an enormous supply of decorations, as well as the official 'presents' which King George and Queen Mary will have to take to France, Usually these gifts are chosen as much a8 possible from home pro ducts; for instance, dinner ser- vices might be taken, Crown Der- by, Minton or Coalport, Wedg- wood vases or English or Irish laces of very fine designs. These gifts are, of course, packed in sepa- rate cases and travel under the per- sonal supervision of an official. Be- tween now and April next, when the State visit to France takes place, there is plenty of work to be got through and a great many peo- ple to do it. The announcement of the visit of the King and Queen to Paris re- minds one that such an event has not occurred since the time when English kings counted France among their dominions or when they went into exile there. Even to find an instance where an Eng- linsh sovereign and her consort paid a State visit to France we have to go back to 1855, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert paid a return visit to Napoleon 1II., who had visited England four months before. Since 'then there have been re- peated 'official visits to France, first of Queen Victoria and then of King Edward, but each time un- accompanied by their consorts. It is strange to remember that the hostess who weldomed Queen Victoria and her husband to Paris is still alive and in England. The Empress Eugenie had then only been married to Napoleon two and a half years and was in the full bloom of her beauty. Barely two wee cs after the English visit the] attempt of Piamori to assassinate the Emperor was made, the second within' a year. y i aid © One on Coogan. oogan's wake)--Phwat laughin' at, the baste!

A London firm of publishers recently dismiseed all ite thin travellers on the ground that fat men were mora suitable for commercial travelling. Now fat fire. wen in the London Fire Brigade are told that they must reduce their weight or re- eign. ho chief theory is that firemen should not be fat, because that meane loes of the agility necessary for their bueinees. The firomon pointed out that there were not enough fires to keep them in strict train. ing and that most of their time was spent waiting for alarms andyhay their enforced idlenees to men of their perfect health meant corpulence. The London County Council, however, recognizing that fatness wae not the men's fault but their misfortune, has now de- cided to provide a gymnasium a: every fire station, so that the men when waiting for fires can take exeroiee that will pre vont them from larding the lean earth pa they run. In the meantime it is eaid that as the only oure for corpulenco ls work, and that as work is not forthcoming {in euffcient quantities for the purpose, some of the firemen in desperation seek to create work by falee Wrote Protest on Banknote, The Royal United Service Institution hee just received a very interesting his- torical souvenir from the governors of the Bank of England. Tt is the one thousand pound Bank of England note which Lord Cochrane paid to secure his release from prison in 1814. The note bears the follow- ing indorsement: "My health baving suffered by long and olose confinement and my oppressors being resolved to deprive me of property or life, I submit to bery to protect myself from murder, in the hope that I ehall live to bring the delinquents to justice. "COCHRANE. "Grated Chamber, King's Bench Prison, "July 3, 1816." Rear Admiral Lord Cochrane, M.P., was imprisoned on a false charge of swindling in connection with the Berenger frauds. After being in jail a year Lord Cochrane at the request of his frionds paid his fine with the above mentioned banknote, which had been subscribed for by the public in two cent eubsoriptiona. Fuzzy-Wuzzy Cloth the Next. After the Teddy bear cloth and the bril- liant-hued wool coats comes the "fuzzy- wuzzy" cloth! This new material is something quite different from anything that has been seen before. It is an innovation intended prin. cipally for making up into half and full length outdoor coate, but is now being talked of for indoor wear. The cloth ie of distinctly shaggy appear. ance, almost resembling the ooat of a rough-haired animal, eo that even more surprising effects in freak fashions may be anticipated this year than were pro- duced last season. London, Feb. 14, 1914, mtn rman DUBLIN HOUSING CONDITION. Report of Inquiry Contains Un- printable Details of Squalor. The report on the recent inquiry into the housing conditions of Dub- lin, Ireland, issued the other day, is sensational in character. Un- printable details are given of horri- ble and degraded conditions of life in many of the tenements, and they are supplemented by pictures of some of the wretched homes of the poor in Dublin. Serious charges are made against members of the corporation who are owners of slum property, and Chief Medical Officer of Health for the city. + Tt is stated that 14,000 new dwell- ings are required at a cost of $17,- 500,000. Of 25,892 families living in '| tenements, 20,108 live in ono room. Among 12,000 families the average number of occupants per room is 8X. The filth met with is indescrib- 'lable, and the conditions disclosed are manifestly re ible for much ality.

Watchfulness (Temper ' ance Lesson)--Luke 12, 85-48. Golden Text, Luke 12. 87. b. iy - . Verse 35. Girded--The long flow- ing garents formerly worn by Jews impeded movement. In preparing for work or for rapid traveling the »| wearer drew them close about the waist and fastened them with a girdle. Lamps burning -- This suggests tho parable of the ten virgins (see Matt. 25. 1). % 36. When he shall return from the marriage feast--The master of the house has been invited to at- tend the marriage of a friend. As the wedding festivities usually last ed a week, the servants would be left alone for some time. The pa- rallel passage in Mark mentions the master's sojourn in another country (Mark 13. 34). . 37. He shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them--This ted | i8 the inversion of the relation of master and servants, the lord do- ing the work of a slave in gratitude for the servants' faithfulness. This is a type of what is promised at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (See Rev. 19. 9). The usual course be- tween master and servant is given in Luke 17. 7-10. : 38. In the second watch, and i} in the third--The Romans divided the might into four watches, the Jews into three. Jesus probably referre to the Jewish division, that is, twelve to three and three to six o'clock. 39. A second illustration to show the need of watchfulness. Know this--The verb is probably indicative and would therefors mean, 'You know this." He would have watched, and not have left his house to be 'broken through--Except among the rich, whose houses were sometimes built of stone, the walls were of adobe, or sun-dried bricks, and would be easily "broken,'"" or "dug through." 40. In an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh--Bince the Son of man may come unexpected- ly, it behooves all disciples to be watchful. It is sometimes well to ask ourselves at the close of the day if the time has been spent as 'we would like to have spent it were that day our last. 41. This verse gives another illus- tration of Peter's impulsivenees and his acting as epokesman for the twelve. Peter doubtless has in mind the promise given in verse 37, and wishes to know whether this high privilege is offered to all or reserved for the apostles alone. Compare Mark 13. 37. 42, As was often his custom, Jesus answered Peter's question by asking another. He does nob tell what he wished to know, but he led each one who heard him to recognize that he was a steward with responsibilities. Their portion of food in due sea- son--The upper servants, or ste- wards, on Roman estates served out at regular intervals the food apportioned to the lower servants. 43. So doing--Serving the others, that is, doing his work faithfully. 44. He will set him over all that he hath--Increased responsibility, not release, is the reward for faith- fulness. Compare the parable of the pounds, in which the servant who was found faithful in a very little, was given authority over much (Luke 19. 17). 45. To eat and drink, and to ba drunken--This servant was prob- ably dissipating on what should have been given to the servants under him. 46. Shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the un- faithful --Unfaithful servants, that is, those who abused their trust, were punished with violent death. 47. Note the gradation of punish- ment shown in this parable, name- ly, violent death for gross cvil do- ing; many stripes for willful neg- lect of duty; few stripes for uncin- scious neglect, since the servant be ina measure responsible for not having found out his lord's will. Luke 10. 12-14 also suggests degrees of punishment. 48. To whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required--The principle is the same as that stated in the talents and the pounds.
