Steeple Jane is the name given to & woman in New York, who has taken up the duties of a steeplejack. lhe woman's husband found that he had more work than he could handle, whoreupon his wife, putting on an ovcral , set out to do part of it. "I'm doing what w c all will have to do when our men go to war," she said. All of . us women will have to learn to do their work." The average face is Bin long and 4 h in. wide—that is, from chin end to forehead top. There is an area, therefore," of about 34 square inches. When we remember that there arc over a million people on the earth to-day and the billions that have been—and that there have been no two.faces exactly alike, some idea will be obtained of tho marvels that Creation has wrought on I 34in of surface. I Brazil lends the nations in the num--1 ber of its holidays. It has 84, and the United States is second with 54. Although such days as New Year's Day, Washington's Birthday, Independence Day, Christmas and others are generally celebrated throughout tho United States ,there is no national legal holiday. The fixing of holidays in the United States is a matter determined by the individual States.
