The Rising Son

Rising Son THE MUSTERING OUT OF THE NEGRO TROOPS. A great calamity has befallen the negroes who serve the United States in the capacity of soldiers. President Roosevelt has issued orders for companies B. C. and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry to be dismissed without honor. Some of the negro soldiers have served for 20 years. Even old Mingo Sanders, first sergeant of company B, must go. The majority of the negroes have faithfully served Uncle Sam from a period covering ten to twenty years. All must go. No place in this country is the negro safe from the stern, severity of the powerful white man and his combined forces to eliminate the black man. President Roosevelt is commander-in-chief of army and navy and head of the entire nation. Yet the president is assuming this great responsibility. The military regulations provide that no man can be dishonorably discharged unless proved guilty by general court martial as read in the 62 article of the army regulation rules. Again if the negro troops are to be dismissed as some say the law provides, why not discharge the white officers commanding them as the law also provides in the army regulation rules? Effect of College Education It would be interesting to trace in detail, and after careful study of facts, to just how great a degree the 'varsity bred man influences us in respect of dress, says Men's Wear. For instance, the knee drawer, which retailers could not get enough of during summer, is nothing more or less than the running "pant" of track athletics, as the jersey that is coming to be worn with them is the jersey of the "gym." The turning up of the trousers to show fancy hose is an outcome of turned up tennis trousers, not for 'varsity' sake but for expediency and comfort. So, the list of what we owe to college men in matters of dress might be lengthened. The collegian is certainly a force to be reckoned with by makers and sellers of men's wear. "What kind of an automobile do you prefer?" "I know of only two kinds," answered Mr. Cumrox; "those that are running and those that are out of repair." Distinction and Difference. "I ain' got no use of foh avarice," said Uncle Eben, "but it sho' is safer foh a man to hold on to money foolish dan it is to spend it foolish." "Ah, Touchem!" cried the man with the close-fitting eyebrows, "isn't this the most remarkable day you ever saw?" "I see nothing unusual about it," replied Touchem. "But haven't you noticed that it has had four afternoons, four nights and four mornings in it, and here we are on the fifth afternoon—all in the same day?" "What!" "Am I not right? You borrowed a ten of me this morning, or one of the mornings of this day, and told me you would pay me to-morrow, as sure as the sun rose on a to-morrow. So I cannot reason the thing out any other way."—Judge. Parlor Car Diversion. "Porter," said the fussy lady in the parlor car, "I wish you would open this window." The lady in the seat directly across heard the request, and drew a cloak about her. "Porter, if that window is opened," she snapped, testily, "I shall freeze to death." "And if the window is kept closed," returned the other passenger, "I shall surely suffocate." The porter stood timidly between the two fires. "Porter" remarked the commercial traveler, "your duty is very plain. Open the window and freeze one lady. Then close it and suffocate the other." —Puck. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Beneficial results of the Farmers' convention are already appearing in possibilities of an appropriation for conducting these institutes at Allen has planned. Also he has invited to address several agricultural bodies in which similar work is conducted. One of these invitations comes from Ontario, Canada; another from the Sunflower Agricultural association of Kansas of which Mr. Groves is, president. Dr. Allen has received several invitations to address literary bodies in the east, west, north and south, but will be able to make no dates later than January first because of the session of the Missouri legislature. Dr. Busyark, a noted lecturer from Indiana, accompanied by Mrs. Henry, whose husband, Hon. Jesse Henry for for many years president of the board of regents, visited the school last week and made a most inspiring talk to the faculty and students assembled. Mr. William Hunton, national secretary of the Y. M. C. A. was the honored guest of Dr. Allen for several days, while making his official visit to the institute Y. M. C. A. Among other visitors we note Mr. E. A. Stokes, formerly a resident of Jefferson City, now of Seattle and Alaska. Mr. Stokes is spending the winter in Jefferson City and was very much interested to note the progress that has been made in Lincoln Institute. He will make several purchases from the art department; and without solicitation promised to fully advertise the institution in various papers of the far west. This is the fame of our great institution going onward in every direction. The negro like a child will wait for the Republicans to do their duty by us. Will the Republicans take care of the faithful negroes who followed their banner. As there are many janitorship jobs to be given away, will the negro get his per rata share? Now that the Republican party has captured the entire county what will be their attitude on Negro appointments. As there are some intelligent negroes who served the party during the recent campaign. Will they land two or three clerical jobs for negroes, out of the many hundred jobs. ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON. Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting of Old Friend. The late Edward Atkinson used to tell the following story at his own expense: In his boyhood he was one of a number of boys who used to play ball on the Boston common, which was then against the law. At regular intervals old Erastus Clapp, the constable, would bear down upon the trespassers and put them to flight. The boys used to have great fun with this rather choleric old man—Disastrous Clapp the boys dubbed him. One day after Mr. Atkinson had grown up into a prosperous and respected business man, while passing along a Boston street in company with a friend, he recognized in a bent and wizened old man the likeness of his old acquaintance, Constable Clapp. Mr. Atkinson immediately addressed the old fellow. "Don't you remember me, Mr. Clapp?" he asked. The old man 'leaned on his stick and surveyed Mr. Atkinson coldly. "Naw," he finally answered, and started to hobble on. "Why, I'm Eddie Atkinson, 'whom you used to chase off the common years ago." Clapp glared at him suspiciously, and finally put an end to the interview, much to the amusement of Mr. Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply: "Well, sir, no honest boy ever had cause to run from me."

Madame De Vaul Vincent, expert seamstress and dressmaking teacher. Mrs. Vincent's work is doing a great good among the negro women. In this community is a lady seamstress who, because of her individual efforts has rallied around her a number of negro girls who are learning every day the art of sewing. Mrs. Vincent has been especially fitted for the work because of her training in the ladies tailoring schools of New York and Chicago; having attended "S. T. Tallor" school of Tailoring in New York and the MacDowel Systematic school of Chicago. In addition to this she finished the technical course of Ladies Artistic Suit designing in the New York School of Kansas City. After this she took the post graduating course of Systematic Waist designing which gives to her four diplomas in her trade. This undoubtedly puts Mrs. Vincent in the rank with the best dressmakers of the city white or black. Mrs. DeVaul Vincent was born in Dayton, O 1872 and since coming to this city fourteen years ago she has followed the dressmaking trade exclusively, as she has worked in all of the first class white places of this city until two years ago when she opened up a school for the training of colored women in that art. Her work entitles her with the support of all the negroes' Any girl who lacks a trade or something by which they can become bread winners should apply to her for a special course. Mothers who have daughters should also send them to her for an entire sewing season. NOT IN NEED OF COMMODITY. Young Housewife's Reply Probably Caused Some Astonishment. A story is told of a young wife who knew little of housekeeping. She was, in consequence of that inexperience, disposed to stand a bit in awe of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, for she felt sure they must be aware of the extent of her ignorance in household matters. She ordered only such things as she was absolutely sure of, and she made her interviews with the tradesmen as brief as possible. One morning there came to her house a collector of ashes. "Ash-ees! ash-ees!" she heard him calling in stentorian tones. As the cry was repeated again and again she became more and more perplexed as to what "ash-ees" meant. Finally, she went to the gate in the rear and opened it. "Ash-ees?" came in guttal question from the man. The young wife hesitated for a moment; then, drawing herself up to a dignified attitude, she repiled coldly: "No, I don't think I care for any to day."—Harper's Weekly. A Song Sparrow's Gratitude. "It is a rare occurrence for animals in a wild state to select man for a companion and friend, yet well authenticated instances when this has been done are a matter of record," says the Courier-Journal. "The following incident is vouchered for by a young woman who is a close and accurate observer: Last week my brother, a lad of 12, killed a snake which was just in the act of robbing a song sparrow's nest. Ever since then the male sparrow has shown his gratitude to George in a truly wonderful manner. When he goes into the garden the sparrow will fly to him, sometimes alighting on his head, at other times on his shoulder, all the while pouring out a tumultuous song of praise and gratitude. It will accompany him about the garden, never leaving him until he reaches the garden gate. George, as you know, is a quiet boy, who loves animals, and this may account in a degree for the sparrow's extraordinary actions."

An up-hill railway, perhaps the most remarkable in the world, is the Oroyo, in Peru. It runs from Callac to the gold fields of Cerro de Pasco. From Callao it ascends the narrow valley of the Rimac, rising nearly 5,000 feet in the first 56 miles. Thence it goes through the intricate gorges of the Sierra till it tunnels the Andes at an altitude of 15,645 feet, the highest point in the world where a piston-rod is moved by steam. The wonder is increased by renem bering that this elevation is reached in 78 miles. Moved the Woird. Cecil Rhodes was once considered a crank. When Mr. Rhodes made his first appearance in the Cape parliament he could talk of nothing but his great idea of a transcontinental railway and with the aid of a specially prepared map he sought to interest his fellow members in the colossal scheme. Most of them thought him a bore and some openly called him a crank. Was Dead at the Throttle An engineer died at his post on a fast express train running from Boston to Philadelphia recently. It is not know how long the dead hand rested on the throttle, as the track was clear for many miles. Not until they were entering Philadelphia like a whirlwind did the fireman discover that the engineer was dead. LEARN NEW TRICKS ENGINEERS TAUGHT HOW TO GUIDE ELECTRIC CARS. Men on One Great System Being Broken In for the Change to Come —Work Neither Hard Nor Uncongenial. The metamorphosis of the railroad engineers of the New York Central has begun, says the New York Globe. It is here with the electrification of the system, and it will continue steadily. The school is without text books, and lacks all of the frills and furbels so dear to the modern educator's heart. The men were taken in batches of six and sent right over the road in the new double ended electric engine that can draw more and draw it faster than any steam engine that ever was built. The process of change from engineer to motorman is not so long as one might casually suppose. In the first place, the engineer does not need to be taught anything about signals and general rules of the great iron highway. He has learned all that. The engineer who, being far sighted and anxious to keep abreast of the improvements in the service, decides that he wants to be a motorman, applies to the chief engineer through the superintendent of his division, and he is given preference over all other applicants. The application of the engineer being favorably passed, he is ordered to report to the "professor of electrical engines" at Kingsbridge. If you were to ask for him under this title, you wouldn't find him, because he has no actual denomination. The engineer, 125 of him, went to Kingsbridge one day and waited around expectantly. Every one was dressed in ordinary garb, as the electric engine is not so oily and grimy a proposition as his former pet, the steam locomotive. The first class of six pupils climbed up the iron ladder in much the same way that a passenger boards a steamship from a rowboat. The sensation is about the same, except that there is no chance to drop into the water. Inside he found himself in a compartment about the size, perhaps a trifle larger, than the average flat. The main compartment is as big as a bedroom. There are oilcloth covered seats in two of its four corners. Beside the seats are the controller and the brake. Up above as the whistle cord and bell rope. The whistle is productive of a sound that is a cross between the toot of a self-respecting automobile and the din of a fog horn gone amuck. The sound is deep, pervading, and audible for perhaps two miles and a half if the wind is right. First of all the noviate is taken over NUMBER 16 the motors, the condensers, and other sections of the complete mechanism. The explanation of these parts is only superficial, and by the way of introduction. Then the "professor," and that's just what the new men began to call him within an hour after the start of the class, grasps the controller and brings it back a notch. The notch is one of a series of teeth, like things that have to be touched in turn, as the lever is brought backward to increase the speed. If this is not observed, to drop into the vorticular of the professor, "things burn inside." The big engine, noiseless, as though its wheels were shod with felt, begins to slip slowly over the track. Then more notches are let out, and the speed increases until it fairly bounds over the rails. This continues for two hours and return. On the return the motorman does not send his engine to the turntable, as he did in his steam days. He merely changes his seat to the other side of the compartment, for the electric engine is double ended and runs just as well one way as another. After two or three of these trips the pupil is permitted to take a turn at the starting and stopping. Then the minute explanation of the intricacies begins. This same process is gone through with on succeeding days until every part and its use is thoroughly familiar to him. FEEDING AND SELLING MULES. How They Should Be Dealt With to Get the Best Results. The southerner requires fat mules, the fatter the better. Flesh catches the planter's eye. Sleek-coated animals are also in demand. In size, the cotton mule ranges from the 14 hand donkey to the 15.2 hand farm mule. Mare mules are given the preference in the south, but north, east or west this is not so. The wise feeder will keep these facts in view when buying young or work mules. The rough, leggy animal should be avoided. Such are mean feeders and seldom fatten. This is also true of colts. It is possible, says Orange Judd Farmer, to tell with reasonable certainty which colts will feed out well and which will not. The colt that keeps nearly fat on ordinary feed and with ordinary care can be depended on, while the one that is stunted, rough and thin is a doubtful feeder. Some of our feeders raise their own stock mules, buying colts and yearlings, then pasturing or feeding them very much as cattle are fed. Feeding usually begins in early fall and continues until the end of the year. Many carloads of two-year-old mules go south. The feeding is best done in sheds equipped for that purpose. In most sections, at least five kinds of feed can be bad. Corn is the principal fattening element, but bran and shelled oats act as a loosening agent and produce a good coat. Such feeds should be given in the proportion of one part bran or oats to three or four parts corn. Soy beans are a promising mule feed, being the equal of linseed meal in rearing and fattening mules, the shearing should be attended to often. The mane falls over badly when allowed to get too long, and it is practically impossible to make a good trim later. When receiving a mule that has been shod, remove the shoes, especially those on the hind feet, the first thing. Mules will kick each other, but if there are no shoes, no harm is done. Work as many as possible, if only a time or two. Many consider a mule broken that has had only one or two lessons in the wagon or plow. Mules should be kept, during the fattening period, confined to the shed. Good bedding is very essential to producing a fine finish. The above is written with special reference to cotton mules, but applies equally well to other demands. Most all the cotton mules from Kentucky are sold through the Atlantic gateway. The market opens in the late fall or early winter and closes in early spring. Useful. Nickicker—Has Subbubs been successful with his garden?

But how many know of the duys of long hours that Howells put in working as a “printer's devil?” From “printer's devil” to world-wide renown is a long step; not only a long step, but a succession of days and weeks and years of hard and unremitting toll.

His is not the cleanest work there is, for he must clean the type, weep out the composing room, and do all the odd jobs that come up in a printing office every day. None but a lad of sturdy material and possossing great pluck could pull Uimself out of this rut, for his hours were long, and whatever knowledge he obtained was gotten by study after his hard day’s work was done.

Mark Twain in a Printing Office. If laughing is good for man, then “Mark Twain deserves well of his countrymen, for no man has done more to cheer the American public than this great humorist. At 12 years of age Samuel Lang- horne Clemens (Mark Twain) eas ‘obliged to quit school on account of the deatt of his father, and it was then his education in real life began. “Always having been a delicate boy, his father had been lenient in the mat- ter of attendance at school, although jhe had been anxious that his children ‘should have good educations.

Born in direst poverty, Horace Greeley was not able to obtain much of an education, as after his sixth year he was only al- lowed to go to school during the win- ‘ter months. He and his brothers had ‘to help their father eke out a miser bos existence from the 50-acre plot which, with the ramshackle house up- ‘on it, was the elder Greeley's only pos- ‘session, "In 1826 Horace Greeley entered the ‘office of the Northern Spectator, in ‘East Poultney, Vt., as an apprentice, and for the first six months’ work re- ceived nothing but his board.

On the opposite corner Hamilton Fish, secretary of state in President Grant's cabinet, resided, while in the row of which this house is part, Gov Swan of Maryland, Gen. Van Vilet, o the army, and Gen. Tecumsch Sher man were near neighbors.

In the service of a certain commit- tee of the senate, the chairman of which is a southern senator, is a certain capable young stenographer and typewriter, in addition to the clerk of the committee. One day the chairman, missing the very capable stenographer, inquired ‘of the clerk where he was. _ “He is not here to-day, sir," re- sponded the clerk, “His father 1s dead.” Some days later the chairman again asked for the missing employe only to receive the same+reply from thé clerk: “He is no here to-day, sir.

Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia and Italy have long been represented by ambas- sadors, usually men of rank and title, while more recent additions have been Mexico, Brazil and Japan, the latter having only taken on this dig- nity a few months ago, when the Vis- count Siuzo Aoki succeeded the ac- complished Mr. Takahtra, whose great work in his country's welfare has been rewarded by an important ‘post in Tokto.

As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life, 1 stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura, Tho consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was @ druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a min acle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before apply- ing the Ointment and I took the Re- solvent at the same time. After two weeks’ treatment my foot was healed completely.

One of the main charges against Brit ish influence in China has been the ine troduction and promotion of the use of opium by the people. It was a spe- cies of immoral commercialism of which other nations have been gullty and which forms a strong count in the indictment against so-called civilized peoples. Doubtless the use of opium has had much to do with reducing the energies of the“ people, and, in the Jong run, with shaping the national character. The question, says the In- dianapolis News, is whether it can be eradicated, The Chinese government has very arbitrary power, but In deal- ing with opium {t has tackled a very large problem. It is a question of prohibition on a much larger scale than has ever been attempted of per- sonal habits in any other country. It will be interesting to watch whether the government can enforce it. If tt succeeds in doing so, perhaps other nationalities had better go there and take lessons in the enforcement of law. The following 1s a copy of the epl- taph of a watachmaker, written by himself, In which he is compared to @ watch that has run down: ‘Here lies, in horizontal position, the out- side case of George Ritter, whose abiding place in that line was an hon- or to his profession, Integrity was his mainspring, and prudence the rez ulator of all the actions of his life. Humane, generous, and liberal, his hand never stopped till he had re: lieved distress. He never went wrong, except when set agoing by people who did not know his key, Even then he was easily set right again, He had the art of dispensing of his time so well that his hours glided by in one continual round of pleasure and delight, till an unlucky minute put an end to his existence. His case rests and molders and de cays beneath the turf, but his good works will never die.” Some of the people of England are criticising the London Times for be ing “too American” tn its make-up.

HUNDREDS OF NEGRO LABORERS EMPLOYED BY METROPOLI- TAN ST. RY. CO. Cc. N. Black as General Manager. As one goes along twelfth street where a new car track {3 being lald you can see hundreds of negroes who are earning their bread through em- ployment, of them by the Metropolitan, There is no other corporation in the city that has as large a force of ne- groes working for them. In all in- stances the colored men have proved themselves efficient laborers, honest and hard working, It is through the kindness of the of- ficlals of this company that these negroes are able to earn good livings for their families. ©. N. Black, the general manager of the company, is one of the big white men of the country who be Heves in negro help. Rather than to be a sentimentalist he believes in giving the negro something to do whereby he can become a bread win- ner. These are the kind of men the ne groes must attach thelr hope. Men who believe he should earn an honest dollar. This shows the attitude of the Metropolitan street railway to wards the negro. Now the negroes should be equal to the occasion by acting as gentlemen | and women on the street cars. They |should condemn and repudiate any negroes who act otherwise. They must show such white men by thel good behavior that he appreciates such favors. Let every negro from this on see to it that all riotous acts by our race are resented and the ones concerned exposed and punished. | Home Phone 5225 Main.

WOMAN'S MAGAZINE IRONING CUPBOARD IRONING CUPBOARD USEFUL ARTICLE AMATEUR CARPENTER CAN MAKE. Convenient for Stowing Away Requisites for Getting Up Fine Linen and Lace—Takes Up Little Space. The amateur carpenter should not be satisfied with making only pretty and ornamental things for her house. There are innumerable articles of use which will come well within the scope of her workmanship, and for provid- A ing the same she will receive grateful thanks from the members of the household. Here, for instance, is the sketch of an ironing cupboard, where can be stowed away all the requisites for getting up fine linen and lace. In a small establishment, where means are limited, it often falls to the lot of one member of the household to undertake the washing and pressing of many small articles of apparel, which, by reason of the delicacy of their material, would soon go to pieces if subjected to the somewhat rough treatment accorded to the general washing. Many women like to wash their fragile pieces of old lace or embroideries themselves, and these often require the application of a flat iron or of crimping irons in order to give them a smart appearance. The little cupboard here shown could very well find a place in either a bedroom or bathroom. It is so narrow—not more than nine inches deep—that it occupies no appreciable space when placed against the wall. The door and molding can be bought ready made, and then there is only the body of the cupboard to be joined together and fitted inside with a dividing plank and several small shelves. These latter are intended for holding the irons of various sizes and other implements—such, perhaps, as a small heating stove, necessary for this fine laundry work. Hoods Again in Fashion. to Favor. Hoods once more are fashionable, and are made in light, airy kinds as well as in the substantial fabrics that button on the automobile coats. A silk hood and full plaited ruche to stand out like a ruff around the shoulders are one of the pretty fancies for evening. Soft silks, worked with splashy embroidery patterns, are used. ```markdown ``` and other silk hoods are covered with chiffon, with full plaited ruches set about the face. All over lace is used also to make a hood and cape, which are lined in silk to match the light broadcloth coat, and to be attached at night, either to wear in place of a hat or to make the coat more fanciful by being attached simply as a trimming. An Ironing Cupboard Two-thirds of this cupboard must be reserved for the little ironing table, which is the most important item in the whole concern. It is provided at one end with a couple of clamps, which can be hooked into sockets fixed anywhere to the wall or to the end of a table, to keep it quite steady, while beneath the other rounded end is a trestle screw on with a hinge, so as to enable it to be folded up when not in use. The top should be covered with a tightly stretched flannel or cloth, and then, with the addition of a tub of hot water, you are provided with the apparatus for the getting up of collars and cuffs—even a shirt-waist, if desirable—the whole thing put together in a most compact and convenient form.—Montreal Herald. FLOATING SCARFS MUCH WORN Rightly Considered to Give Effective Finishing Touch. Those daintily floating scarfs add a most effective finishing touch to the evening toilet. In their original simplicity they appeared in chiffon, sheer crepes, filmy louisines and other fabrics whose texture lends itself well as a background for artistic designs and color work. But in their later appearances even softer effects prevail. Real laces—chiefly of the variety whose patterns stand out in bold relief from a filmy background, or even without any background at all—are alternated with ostrich plumes, with swansdown or more often with marabout, whose fluffy softness gives a most becoming effect around the shoulders. Plain straight lengths of the real Chinese handwoven crepe are in high vogue. Elaborate embroideries, cunningly wrought by those oriental masters of line and color, add to their richness and charm. Many are the uses to which those long scarfs lend themselves, and at least one will prove a valuable investment whether the wardrobe be large or limited. Shaped boas in marabout are pliantly punctuated at intervals with fringes of ostrich plumes. All of the pastel tones can readily be found in those, to accord with or contrast with the dinner or dancing dress. Russian broadcloth of finest quality was used in the construction of a gown worthy of description. The design is particularly good and makes a really handsome costume. Three small plaits at each seam run from knee depth and flaring prettily at bottom, the only decoration on the otherwise plain skirt, which fits perfectly over the hips. The blouse has a round tucker front and stock of plaited green silk and stitched pieces of cloth, with shoulder pieces of green velvet outline, same from side to side, trimmed in front with six small velvet-covered buttons. The bodice extends well over the shoulders in cape effect, where there are two narrow tucks, and from beneath which are the puffed elbow sleeves. A deep girdle of velvet fastens in front with a gorgeous silver buckle. On a cream cloth coat, cream lace is used and lined with pink silk, or on a canary broadcloth coat white lace is lined in canary silk. An embroidery pattern is given for hood cape, the hood part of which is cut in oval shape and shirred with ribbon. Take a strip of inch wide double-faced satin ribbon, white, black or colored, the length of the intended ruff. This is for the foundation, to which the pleated fluffy material will be sewn. Point d'esprit and net are more substantial than malines, and for present wear will be more appropriate also. To make a good full boa you will require six strips about seven inches wide and the length of the material. Sew three of these together on the short ends, making one long strip and triple box-plait very closely through the middle. When finished this should fit a ribbon about 20 inches long, to which it should be stitched down. Sew the three remaining strips in the same way, pleat and sew down to the ribbon, making a double ruching. No finish is really necessary on the edges, but streamers of ribbons may be added, one wide one to each end or three narrow ones in irregular lengths and either knotted about the ends. This will be a handsome ruff and much fuller really than those found in the shops, which are just given a full effect by their airiness. To remove freckles try a lotion made from two ounces of lactic acid, one ounce of glycerin and one-half ounce of rose water. With a soft linen cloth apply to the face several times daily. It is best to pour only the amount needed in a saucer, keeping the remainder well stoppered In Russian Broadcloth. Maline Neck Boa. Freckle Lotion. Rome RUINS OF THE COLISEUM AT ROME. Dr. George W. Bailey. (Chairman World's Sunday School Convention, Rome, Italy, May 20-23, 1907.) Next May, in the "Eternal City" of Rome, Italy, there will be held one of the most important and far-reaching gatherings of the time—the fifth World's Sunday-school convention. Previous conventions were held in London in 1889 and 1898, in St. Louis in 1893, and in Jerusalem in 1904, but the coming assemblage is expected to surpass them all in interest and results. Extensive plans are already in operation to make it a gathering unique in the history of the Christian church. The thousands of delegates and workers in attendance will represent 262,000 Sunday schools, with 26,000,000 members, from Iceland to Cape Colony, and from Alaska to Tibet. Men and women speaking more different tongues and representing more different sects and creeds will meet in harmonious conclave to promote God's kingdom than probably ever before in history. While the official language of the convention will be English, sectional conferences will be conducted in German, French and Italian. The convention will last four days, from May 20 to 23, and will be held in a large hall in Rome. But the most unique meeting of the gathering will be a vesper service, which it is planned to hold within the ruins of the Coliseum. It will truly be a memorable scene to witness men and women of all languages and tongues singing praises to God on the spot where the blood of martyrs of our faith was shed in the early centuries of the Christian era. The "call" for the fifth convention has been issued by an international committee of business men and ministers representing the Sunday school interests of the world. The body is composed of 11 men for the United States, an equal number for Great Britain and others for Germany, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Mexico and Canada. Its far-reaching and cosmopolitan character may be imagined from the fact that it includes Prince Bernadotte, son of the king of Sweden; Count Bernstorff, of Germany, and two American millionaires. The chairman of the committee, who is devoting almost his entire time to preparing for the convention, is Dr. George W. Bailey, of Philadelphia. A part of the "official call," inviting all throughout the world who are interested in the Sunday school movement to be present at the home convention, is as follows: "In the Acts of the Apostles we read that Paul, with his vision of a world opportunity, having determined to visit Jerusalem, said: "After I have been there I must also see Rome." "In these later days, when the world of Paul's time has grown into a limitless opportunity for the followers of his Master and ours, it is most fitting that the World's Sunday School Convention, having met in Jerusalem, the birthplace of the Christian church, should gather now in Rome, that world-center where the Christian church fought and won its notable triumphs." Dr. Bailey, the head of the world committee, is a business man of Philadelphia, who is one of the foremost Christian leaders of that city, and has long been actively identified with the Sunday school association. Dr. Bailey gave me further details regarding the coming convention, as follows: "The convention has awakened a great deal of interest in all parts of the world. Our friends in Great Britain are making elaborate plans and will attend the convention in two parties, one starting at London and going overland to Rome, holding conferences and conventions in the larger cities en route in France, Germany, Switzerland and the northern part of Italy. The other party will go by steamer, visiting points on the Mediterranean and landing at Naples. "It is expected that delegates will be present from every part of the world. We have already assurances that a number of missionaries from India, China, the Levant, and from all missionary districts in continental Europe will attend the convention. We expect a large delegation from Australia. "Upon the program will appear a number of names of world-wide renown. Among these may be mentioned F. B. Meyer, Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, Rev. Frank Johnson, Mr. Charles Waters, of Great Britain, and such men as Dr. John Potts, Mr. Marion Lawrence and many other men of renown of America. "This is to be a missionary Sunday school convention and missionary interests will have the right of way. The delegates from America will hold a meeting with the missionaries at Funchal, on the island of Madeira, at Aligiers, Genoa, Naples and perhaps at Gibraltar. If our plans unfold, Saturday evening, May 18, will witness perhaps the largest Protestant gathering ever assembled in the city of Rome. Sunday morning, May 19, the Lord's Supper will be celebrated in the leading churches. Sunday afternoon the convention sermon will be preached by Dr. G. Campbell Morgan. The regular sessions of the convention will be held in the afternoons and evenings of the days that follow. The mornings will be given up to conferences and institute and committee work. The language of the convention proper will be English, but provision will be made for those who speak nothing but German, French and Italian." The American delegation will go to Rome in a specially chartered steamer, just as the delegation in 1904 attended the Jerusalem convention in a special ship. This cruise will constitute one of the most valuable features of the convention, for meetings will be held on the steamer all the way going over and returning, and as stated by Dr. Bailey, several missionary conferences will be held. The steamer is expected to leave Boston April 27, and en route to Rome the delegates will visit the quaint and beautiful island of Madeira, as well as Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples, Pompeii, Genoa and Pisa. MIRRORS MEANT TO DECEIVE. Dealer Explains Some of the Secrets of His Trade. "It is not enough to make true mirrors," the dealer said. "If that were all, ours would be indeed a simple business." He was walking complacently over his huge shop, which bustled and hummed with a brisk trade. "Dressmakers and milliners," he explained, "require mirrors of all sorts. They need, for example, a mirror that makes one look taller and thinner. When they dress a fat, short patron in one of their new hats or suits, they lead her to this mirror, and she is so surprised and pleased with the change for the better in her looks that, straight off, she buys. "For masseurs I make a mirror that, like a retouched photograph, hides blemishes, wrinkles, scars. The masseur takes the wrinkled face of some rich old woman, steam it, thumps it, pinches it and smacks it for an hour, and then holds up to it the mirror that gives a blurred, blemish-hiding reflection. The woman thinks her wrinkles are gone, and is happy till she gets home to her own true mirror. "Altogether, I make some 20 varieties of false mirrors. Salesmen and saleswomen, in millinery and dressemaking establishments, can double and quadruple their business if they are quick and deft in their selection of the mirror that flatters each patron best." --- FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN THE SOUTHERN GIRL BEAUTY AND CHARM HER ESSEN- TIAL CHARACTERISTICS. Deserved Tribute Palday Margarct Sangster to the Daughters of the Sunny Southlandborn to Command Men's Hearts. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. We are all agreed in our opinion of the southern girl. She is simply adorable. Beyond other girls she possesses woman's most fascinating quality, charm. But how to define charm is the impossible task. As well might one endeavor in cold type to describe the perfume of a flower as to set forth in measured words the cffarm of southern girlhood. Whether she come from the Old Dominion, from Kentucky, Tennessee, or Alabama, from anywhere indeed below the distinctively southern line, she has the same inscrutable art of compelling every beholder to do her bidding and of making every man more or less her servant. Without apparent effort the winsome southern girl gets her own way both in her home and in society, and if as in these days, she often does, she engages in business life, her success is assured beforehand. The southern woman succeeds in what she undertakes, partly because she believes in herself, and partly because her world has always believed in her. From the cradle she has been a queen. No princess royal is more honored in her circle than a pretty southern girl in her own family and among her friends. I have seen a little girl not seven years old waited upon by her father and brothers as if she were grown up, and have noted in her the beginning of that gentle air of command which underlies the sweet manners of southern_women. On the surface, the southern girl is often rather helpless. She never springs forward to undertake tasks or go on errands that others may accomplish in her stead. The feminine element is not overlaid in her by anything manish or self-assertive. She has almost the appearance of one who has to be picked up and carried over every rough bit of the road. The southern man is gallant because the southern woman takes for granted the fact that he is her cavalier, that he means to protect her, and that in any emergency, he will stand loyally at her side. Superficially, only, is the southern girl helpless. In reality she is abundantly able to take care of herself, whether she walk on the highway, cross the continent or come from her quiet home in a country village to live in a great strange city. She was early taught to ride, to swim and to engage in any sport popular in her neighborhood. Her social training is never neglected. In no portion of this great land is so much emphasis placed on those accomplishments which make women agreeable in society as in the South. The southern girl studies the art of dress. She wears her clothes with the grace of the lily or the rose, and you shall see her as captivating in a muslin frock that cost only a dollar or two all told as if it had been worth several dollars a yard. Better than most women she understands how much there is in a good cut, in appropriate trimming, and in a style that suits the wearer. A southern girl once said to me, "We care more than you do in the north to wear what sets us off to advantage, and we think a good deal less about what things cost than about their general effect." Southern girls are taught music, not merely, that they may play the works of renowned composers, but that they may pleasantly entertain a home circle or cheat a weary hour of gloom for an invalid or an aged friend. If they have voices they are taught to sing. In conversation they are unusually gifted, are quick at repartee, and have mastered to perfection the secret of success in fireside talk, for they are seldom other than good listeners. A well-bred southern girl never smatches the word from the mouth of an older woman, or fails to treat her superiors in age with a deference that is at once a courtesy and a compliment. Possibly, the education given to southern women at large is less thorough and profound than that which most northern girls receive, but in the end they can do more with what they have and find their tools readier to their hand than is customary with the girls of other sections. This statement must, however, be guarded or perhaps qualified by certain exceptions. A southern girl, a gifted and beautiful daughter of Tennessee to-day ranks with the foremost sculptors of the world, and has no hesitation in carrying forward enterprises and undertaking contracts that might well try the mettle of any man in the profession. There are southern women in authorship and in editorial chairs who yield the palm to none. Go to any southern school or college and look over the bright and beaming faces of the girls assembled there, and no proof is wanted to show that the coming women of the south will be equal to every demand made upon them, and that when they reach the period of responsibility and maturity, they will be what their mothers and grandmothers have been, steadfast as the polar star, strong, serene and well-poised. Southern girls are coquettes. They are not easily won. A bird on a bough is not more elusive and capricious than a southern maid. But once she has given her troth and surrendered her whole being to the man she loves, she lives for him alone. The southern matron does not cease to be charming and gracious, she loses no jot of her bewitching personality, but after marriage she never condescends to vulgar arts of flirtation or disputes the field with unmarried girls. She leaves to those who are still unmated the pleasures and the pains, the excitements and the laurels that belong to the province of winsome girlhood. It is enough for her to be the central influence in her home, and the coronation of her husband's life. She is a born housekeeper, notwithstanding an impression that she never puts her hand to anything in the way of work. Her southern mother has early delegated to her certain cares and responsibilities. She has known since childhood some secrets of delicate cooking, some peculiar traditional family recipes and is mistress of the fine art of catering and of presiding at a table while yet she is in her teens. When the babies come the southern woman finds her chief joy in her nursery. She may have the help of others there, but it is her hand that guides the little ones, and her love that enfoils them in the first years, making sure for life the beginnings of good habits. One often sees a transformation that is almost a miracle when the gayest of southern girls one who spent her days in an atmosphere of brilliant display, settles down in absolute tranquillity to the oversight of her children and her home. From first to last, our southern sister is a thing of bewitching contrasts, womanly to her finger tips, pure, conscientious, exacting, sweet, haughty, puzzling, capable, lovable; she is, as I have said, simply adorable. "A creature not too bright or good for human nature's daily food." (Copyright, 1986, by Joseph B. Bowles.) BORDER EMBROIDERY. ```markdown ``` Here is a pretty satin stitch design that may be used for many purposes of ornamentation. It will be very effective worked on box-plates or straps for trimming blouses or linen dresses; it may also be worked on infants' flannel head squares, on the flouces of flannel petticoats, or on straps for trimming flannel dressing gowns, jackets, etc. Modeling for Children. I have found a pleasing amusement for small children, that of moulding various articles from a composition made of one pound of best cornstarch and two quarts of common table salt well mixed. Whenever any is to be used moisten with water and form into balls, cubes, and so forth. Place the modeled articles on a pan with a paraffin paper under them, bake in a slow oven or place in the window and leave for several days, until perfectly dry. This will help many rainy days to pass more quickly for little people. It can be used for relief maps by older children. In the Dining-Room When the plate rail around the ding-room is not sufficient to hold all the plates and the ceiling is so high as to leave an ugly blank space above the doorway an excellent idea is to build a narrow shelf over the lintel and bank it with plates and perhaps a tall, graceful vase filled with grasses or autumn leaves. The shelf should, of course, be stained to match the woodwork in the room, but it is quite possible for the home carpenter to put ug such a contrifiance. INSOMNIA CURED Dr. Williamse 'Pink Pills Restored Wrecked Nerves to Normal Condition and Good Health Followed. The sufferer from sleeplessness too often resorts to habit-forming drugs in order to secure the coveted rest. But sleep obtained by the use of opiates is not refreshing, and the benefit is but temporary at best. Mrs. H. A. Fletcher, of 59 Blodget street, Manchester, N. H., is living evidence of the truth of this statement. She says: "I received a shock of an apoplectic character. It was so severe that the sight of my right eye was affected, causing me to see objects double. I was confined to my bed about four weeks, at one time being told by the doctor that I could not get well. When I could leave my bed I was in such a nervous state that I could not sleep at night. I would get up and sit on a chair until completely tired out and then go back to bed and sleep from exhaustion. "I had been under the doctor's care for six weeks when my sister, Mrs. Loveland, of Everett, persuaded me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I began taking the pills with the result that I soon experienced relief. One night soon after taking them I lay awake only a short time and the next night I rested well. From that time I slept well every night and soon got well and strong. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a number of times, and my niece has taken them for weak nerves and poor blood and found them very beneficial." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured many severe nervous troubles, headache, neuralgia and sciatica as well as diseases of the blood such as anemia, rheumatism, pale and sallow complexions and many forms of weakness. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenected, N.Y.

A Business Man Thinks the Rule Is Too Rigidly Observed. "It strikes me that in some of the departments they are enforcing the 'no telephoning' rule a trifle too rigidly," said a Washington business man to a reporter. "I had occasion to telephone down to the postoffice department the other day on business regarding the interests of a surety company in which I am interested, and which goes on the bonds of a large class of the employees in the postal service. "This is, of course, strictly official business, and there was nothing personal about it. One of the clients of the company in a western state wrote us that there was some trouble with his bond, and as we are the Washington representatives it was our duty to communicate with the department and ascertain the facts. But when I endeavored to get telephonic connection with the division where this business is transacted, and I could have obtained the necessary information nowhere else in the department, I was informed that it was against the rules to make such a connection, although I expressly stated the nature of my business. "In consequence I had to leave my office and make the trip to this division on foot, and I wasted an hour where five minutes' time or less over the telephone would have cleared the matter up. "While I am aware that perhaps the telephone service by clerks and their friends outside of the departments has been abused, and because thereof the general rule against these connections has been promulgated, I fail to see why the government cannot, when necessary, be communicated with by telephone through its official representatives when business men or others have official business therewith, just the same as a business house. It is certainly an unnecessary waste of time to require persons having business thus easily settled in such instances to make personal journeys to the departments where it is transacted. Questions, the answers to which do not require long research on the part of the clerks, can be answered just as readily over the telephone as in the personal presence of the business man at the department, and I think in such instances as I am referring to the rule is contracted to unnecessary limits." DEMAND FOR "OLD PRINTS." Are Imported in Vast Quantities— Trick of Washington Dealer. "Old prints" are now a very fashionable decoration, and the real thing is almost impossible to obtain. But as demand invariably breeds supply, the industry of manufacturing old prints while you wait has taken its place with the manufacture of other sorts of antiques. This is an infant industry, not properly protected in this country, and the result is that the manufacture flourishes abroad, and the prints are imported in vast quantities. They are very good pieces of work, too, for those who like that sort of decoration, though the drawing and the coloring are by no means up to the standard of modern realism. One of the curious happenings of the custom house that brought out some of the facts connected with this industry occurred recently when one of the dealers in Washington undertook to import a large collection of "old" prints for sale. They were good enough to have gotten by the customs collector as the real thing. The paper was old in texture, and carefully discolored, and the pictures were as ungainly in drawing and uncertain in coloring as the most exacting amateur critic could have desired. The dealer, in order to impart a color of realism to the proceeding, undertook to import them as genuine antiques. But he found, when it came to settling the bill, that the tariff would be several times as heavy were they listed as genuine as it would be on modern works. So he "fessed up" and not only admitted that the "old" prints were thoroughly modern but produced the documents to prove it. Whether he will be as frank with his customers as he was with the customs will be a matter for future determination. But it is an interesting revelation to find that such clever faking can be done in this line. Troubles of Weather Bureau. Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau in Washington, said at a banquet: "In the past the weather forecaster would often be a good deal embarrassed. He would start out on a picnic or an excursion, his wife in her palest and most delicate gown, he without an umbrella, and, though he had prophesied in all the papers 24 hours of perfect weather, they would both, as like as not, come home drenched. Embarrassment, truly. Like the position of the cross-eyed gentleman at the ball. This gentleman said with a bow: 'May I have the honor of this waltz?' And three ladies, seated side by side, rose simultaneously. 'With pleasure,' they said." Back from First Vacation. Rev. Dr. A. D. Mayo has just returned to Washington, D.C., from a summer vacation in New England, the first real vacation he has taken in the 25 years, which he has now devoted to his ministry of education in the south.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Treatment of Habitual Criminals. Treatment of Habitual Criminals. The New Zealand minister for justice has introduced the habitual criminals and offenders bill, which provides that where a person has been twice convicted of a criminal assault or four times of wounding, robbery or burglary, he may be regarded as an habitual criminal and at the expiration of his sentence detained in a reformatory. After six convictions for vagrancy a man may be treated in the same way. Discharge from the reformatory will be secured only on the recommendation of the court, while the detained offenders will be made to work and wages will be placed to their credit or toward the support of their dependents. Big Dividends from Mines. Some remarkable results have been obtained within the last half dozen years by those who had the enterprise and nerve to assist in the development of southwestern copper mines. The Calumet and Arizona mine at Bisbee, Ariz., which is now paying dividends every year of $2,400,000, has made a profit of 3,300 per cent, in four years to those who bought its stock. The man who put $100 in to assist in the development of the Calumet and Arizona in 1902, now has a holding worth $3,300, which is paying him an annual income of $480—Nearly five times his original investment. — Leslie's Weekly. COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers' book a chapter is headed "Coffee as a Medicine," and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicine" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant—coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics.

Successfully Provides Claims Late Principal Examiner U.S. Federal Bureau --- WATCH ENGINE RUN $TUDENTS' PATH OF LEARNING MADE EASY. Device at Columbia University by Whalen All Parts of a Locomotive in Action Can Be Studied in Workshop. From the foot of the grand stairs leading up to the library of Columbia university we pass round to the left of the great library and come to the entrance of the school of engineering. We find here lecture rooms, laboratories, drawing rooms and museums, and in connection with these school departments is a pattern shop, a large and machine shop—in fact, everything a young man needs in learning to be a first-class engineer. We go down stairs and enter a fine, large shop, and there, on its track, stands a passenger locomotive, the Columbia—just such a grand fellow as Kipling's engine hero in his story entitled "0.007." Here is a locomotive turned schoolmaster. We walk round the grand old fellow and stand before the great driving wheels. Here we are at the edge of a deep pit in the floor. In it we see a pair of massive wheels supported on great timbers. Each wheel is exactly under and rests against one of the great "drivers," and when the drivers move the wheels in the pit move, too, and in this way the engine can move its wheels and yet stand perfectly still. To give perfect security, the first wheels of the engine are blocked up. By this device it is possible to have an engine "run" at full speed while we sit beside the track and see just how it works. On the road the engine flies along so quickly that it is impossible to see anything, still less learn anything. Think what an immense advantage we have in this school of the locomotive! Here in this quiet, comfortable room we can walk all about the great machine, learn the name and use of every part, and actually see how it works. The assistant teacher in this school of the locomotive climbs into the cab with several students while a part of the class are studying the action of the pistons in the steam cylinders. Others can study steam-making, the work of the running gear, or the wheels. One boy can study oiling, while another is studying the use of the air-brake. Again, a boy may flag the train to see if the boy at the lever knows the rules of the road. A dozen boys can thus study an engine turning its wheels at 40 miles an hour in perfect ease and safety, while 50 more can learn much of the lesson by looking on and listening to the explanations of the teacher. A locomotive is a grand, scientific tool used in a certain way for a certain end. An engineer uses this splendid tool in a scientific way, and he must be himself a man of science. It is not enough to know how to "stop her," or "start her," or run "on time," according to the rules of the road. He must know his engine; know every part; how it is made and used. He should be able to make complete working drawings of the whole machine, from the headlight to the draw-bar. He must know how the steam behaves inside that cylinder and must be able to take the cylinder apart and put it together again. He must know how every part is made and be able instantly to decide when the engine works badly, and why, and be able, as far as possible, to cure its little ills and disorders. He must know it all; must be fireman, machinist, railroad man, engineer and man of science. He must have strong, calm nerves, and must never get confused, or "lose his head," or make mistakes. A hundred lives may depend on his knowledge and skill. The men who build locomotives in the great shops at Philadelphia see that this is the way to teach. So they made this splendid engine a gift to the university, that in its cab young men and boys can have a better chance to learn to be engineers than did their fathers, who picked up their education on the road. No more will the Columbia make her 60 miles an hour. Never again will her headlight gleam on the polished rails. Her whistle will never startle the echoes in the mountains to wake the sleepy towns along the river. She is here at rest, and will never go out again along the line. She is here to teach—and to teach is the greatest thing any man or machine can do. Perhaps the captive engine misses the road, and dreams of the lights and signals beside the way, and longs to fly along the track. Or perhaps Columbia knows she is at school, and is really and truly a teacher on the staff of a great university—Charles O. Barnard, in St Nicholas. New Use for Locomotives. In a small town in Massachusetts recently there occurred what is probably the first instance of the kind on record—a locomotive employed to run a factory. The establishment had outgrown the power developed by its old plant of boilers, and, not wishing to shut down long enough to install a new battery, the proprietors conceived the plan of availing themselves of use of the surplus locomotives from the shops of a near-by railroad. The engine was a small freight engine. It was side-tracked near the factory. The pipes leading to the cylinder hoses were disconnected, and one or them connected to the steam dome of the locomotive, leading therefrom to the engine room of the factory. The plan was perfectly successful. TO TEST FABRICS. SOME VALUABLE THINGS FOR THE SHOPPER TO KNOW. How to Detect the Difference in the Quality of Linen—Finding a Cotton and Linen Mixture. Fineness of the threads in the weave denote the quality of linen and the greater the number to the square inch the better the sheeting and the napery. Between the real grades it is more difficult to tell which is the better, and then a small magnifying glass such as all linen clerks carry should be asked for by the shopper, and the one who is interested can count the threads herself and determine which is the better. Threads pulled from the edge of a piece of linen may fray, while those taken from cotton snap when pulled in two. An old-time test is to wet the finger, place it under a piece of linen and watch the surface get damp. If the moisture does not appear, you may be perfectly sure that the goods is cotton, for it does not absorb water as linen does. Another test for linen is to ravel one thread of the warp and another of the woof and burn them. If one is cotton it will be charred immediately, while it will take the linen a trifle longer to be destroyed. There is less chance of being mistaken in buying silk than in purchasing linens and an all-silk piece can be told immediately by the touch. There is quite a little difference to be considered in judging certain silks, for some are more valuable on account of their heavy qualities, while others are costly on account of their sheerness. Ponges that are being sold so extensively this season cost more when they are thick and heavy than when of lighter grade. With lousine the softer and finer the quality the more expensive. The softer taffeta is the better, as a rule, especially when it has a high sheen or luster. It also has an unmistakable swish that stamps it as good as soon as heard. Materials in which the threads running both ways are silk, are springy and to the touch are full of life, while those with half silk and cotton are not so elastic. A lighted match touched to the threads will show at once whether one is of cotton, for if it is it will roll up in smoke before the silken one has fairly started to burn. The same test applied to wool will show quite as quickly whether there are any cotton threads, for they will burn rapidly and leave the woolen or worsted ones burning slowly, and making a black charred ash that has an unmistakable odor of burning wool. A piece of all wool is very soft to the touch, while one of half wool or cotton has a very hard surface, and worsted is quite rough when rubbed. A test that never falls on woolens is made with murtalic or nitric acid. A piece of all wool dipped in either of these powerful chemicals turns it to a reddish yellow color. While if there are cotton threads they are destroyed, leaving the piece with nothing but the yellow warp or wool. For Babies on Sleeping Cars. When traveling with a baby in a sleeping car, says Good Housekeeping, insure a good night's rest for yourself and the baby, not to mention your fellow travelers, by putting him to sleep in a little hammock which is to be found in the berth. This procedure is practicable for all infants under one year of age, and is the only absolutely safe sleeping place for them. Provide yourself in advance with a piece of cotton rope two feet in length. With this one end of the hammock is to be made fast to the lower end of the chain or cable by which the upper berth is suspended; the other end of the hammock is left on the hook from which it usually hangs. The hammock is thus suspended diagonally across the berth; now put in two pillows end to end. These serve the double purpose of spreader and bedding. If the hammock is strung tightly it will swing clear of the person sleeping below and the rougher the road the more the hammock swings and the sounder the baby sleeps. A Hat of Snow-White Neapolitan. A beautiful hat was a snow-white Neapolitan, a large sailor shape, tilted by a wide bandeau well up the right side. This bandeau was covered with pale-brown tulle, and the low crown was surrounded with a double wreath of shaded roses in white and cream color, also pale yellow ones, with deeper centers; these were separated slightly into groups of three and four, with a very little brown mottled foliage where the hat rose quite high at the side, two very wide and full ostrich tips shading from white to pale yellow falling over the wearer's dark hair. Nothing but masses of tan-colored tulle filled in the back under the brim. To Cure Dark Circles. Dark circles under the eyes generally indicate a sluggish circulation or torpidity of the liver. Kidney disorders are other causes. Exercise daily, breathe deeply, live on simple, nutritious food, and get enough sleep to thoroughly rest you. Every morning bathe the eyes with diluted witch Hazel or strong salt water. At night massage around the eyes gently with orange flower skin food. . In his first success at Drury Lane, Edmund Kean overheard a knot of old stage carpenters discussing vigorously the various players of Hamlet they had seen in their day. "Well," said one, "you may talk of Henderson and Kemble and this new man, but give me Bannister's Hamlet—he was always done 20 minutes sooner than any of 'em."

Hair Dressing Not New or Experimental, but an Old, Reliable Preparation of Proven Merit. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an ideal Hair Pomade. It contains no strong, dangerous chemicals that can in any way injure the hair. You can use it just as long as you wish, or stop it any time without any bad effect. Does not contain any harmful chemicals. It is made from becoming dry and brittle, and enables you to do it up in any style consistent with its length, at the same time giving it that rich, glossy look so much desired. As a Hair Grower we consider Nelson's Hair Dressing the equal of anything made. It supplies the needed oil directly to the roots of the hair, softens and lends volume to the hair, harms, refractory hair, prevents it from falling out, breaking off and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Disease such as Tetrat, Itching and Scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Dishes such as letter, sticker, and bumper sticker; put up in handmade 4-inch boxes (the bottom cut), and sold everywhere by druggists and agents at 25 cents a box.
