Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who has gone to recuperate on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, had amazing success as a curio collector in the old shops of Holsbern just before she left London. Her best bargain was a twisted knot of gold, which plainly was used last as a pendant on a watch chain, for which she paid $25. Afterward, when she examined the purchase more closely, Mrs. Astor was delighted to find it a duplicate of "the lucky knot," or mascot, which Queen Alexandra owns. Touch a hidden spring and the knot opens, revealing in its cavity a rough emerald. On this stone, in characters so minute that they are legible only through a magnifying glass, is engraved: "A Vour pour la vie." (Yours or life.) "I wonder why Miss Sweet is always asked to sing. Her voice isn't nearly so well trained as Miss Stickler's is." "No, but her manners are, Miss Sweet is always willing to try her luck without being urged for half an hour." Cholly—Get any doer? Algy—No, but the guide wore sleigh bells and carried a megaphone, so I didn't hit him. THE APPEAL THE VOGUE OF LINEN. Linen Frocks, Linen Belts and Linen Neckwear — Many Dainty Dress Accessories of This Material. Linen has played a prominent role in the comedy of the fashions during the last few seasons, and, while sheer lingerie stuffs have interfered somewhat with the vogue of the heavier forms of linen for ceremonious wear, the linen fad is still flourishing mightily in the province of the tailored shirt waist, the simple tub frock and the little dress accessories. Open coats are sprinkled through the design of the belt embroidery, and LINEN BELTS AND COLLARS. some of the models show complicated and exquisite hand work. Attractive little pearl buckles in new shapes, give individuality for many of the new models, and small pearl buttons are often used for a finish, but are more or less of a nuisance in laundering. Very tiny buttons of pearl and worked loops set on the back of a stock will be found a much more satisfactory scheme than the usual pins or hooks and eyes. One of the clever things in a perfect pikin stock is a close fitting model that ends pass one through the other in the middle back—known fashion and are brought back to the front. Here the rounded ends come nearer meeting than is the case when a model of this type is to be held by ribbon or scarf ties, yet they do not meet, and they tie as in other models. The ends almost meet and in each end is worked a button hole. Link buttons like those used for cuffs are slipped through the buttonholes and hold the ends in place. This trim neck button set in a gold tie and a cachoon stone set in a gold tie and a cuff buttons are particularly effective upon the tailormade waist. KINGS AND TALL QUEENS. Nearly All the European Kings Are Below Their Consorts in Height —Tall Women of To-Day. It has been noted that nearly all the European kings have consorts who are taller than themselves. Princess Ena is so much taller than the king of Spain that when they are standing be taken by the camera the art of the photographer is exercised in many a clever device to bring their needs on a level. The queen of Italy above her king; and the stately queen of Portugal gains added state when beside her husband's jovial face and figure. The Czarina is in every respect built on a more noble scale than her husband, and the princess of Wales looks more robust as well as taller than the prince. This seems to show that there is some degree of "natural selection," as Mr. Darwin would have called it, even in the weddings that are so much matters of thrones. The little woman, just as high as my heart," and queens, princesses and luscuces are all as notably affected by this modern taste as their less important sisters. Large Veins Where the veins of the hands are so pronounced and the hands red there is poor circulation; you should see a physician for such condition. Or, which is very possible, you are wearing too tight collars or cuffs or your sleeves are too tight in the armhole. Anything that constricts anywhere about the body causes the hands to swell and the veins to show. Green Coats. Green skint coats, long or short, and in all the popular styles, have a considerable vogue and are attractive in combination with the lingerie frock. Little shoulder capes and pelerines, jaunty beleros, mantellets, paletos and wedge wraps are all shown in the emeralds and green tones and also in the new green green, which is striking, but promises to be very much the thing. Nail Powder. Formula for nail powder: One-half ounce of violet talcum powder, one-half ounce of pulverized boric acid, one-half ounce of powdered starch, 15 drops of tincture of carmine. Apply on the powder and rouge, then put on the powder and rouge with a chamois skin buffer. Only a slight rosy glow is necessary. A Dance Freek A DANCE FROCK. A very charming dance frock for a young girl was made of painted muslin, the design pale-yellow roses and foliage, and hemmed with soft ivory duchessine satin, the top finished with inch-wide klittings, both of muslin and satin. Fond of Gardening. The favorite hobby of Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the most famous of all woman physicians, is gardening. TEMPTATIONS AND PERILS THAT BESET THE MODEL TEMPTATIONS AND PERILS THAT BESET THE MODEL --- THE FASHION GIRL ATTRACTIVE CHILD MODEL · Whose features are constantly pictured by noted artists. The disclosures of the Thaw case, with its scandals in the lives of the murderer, his wife and the victim, have started many hysterical writers into furious denunciations of the artists' model. By these it is argued that the entire cause of the tragedy was the woman, the model, who lifted herself on to the stage, and next into wealth with her beauty, meantime remaining a danger to the happiness and honor of every man with whom she came in contact. Undoubtedly it was the beauty of Miss Nesbit that brought about the emity between White and Thaw, and it is equally true that other models have embroiled men in hatreds and have wrought ruin, but if there is an argument to be made here, it is one against the artists, the Bohemians, who first teach child posers the easy way to live living. Just at a glance on the peril and temptations that beset the artist's model, make one wonder what chance she has of coming through the ordeal pure. She comes into the business at a time when she is but entering her teens. She is new to life, inexperienced, trustful and unprotected. The little money she makes is usually more than she has ever known, and it teaches what things can be bought with a greater amount. That greater amount is none too much to be within control of the man who admires her beauty, and is a series of steps, so gradual that afterward she could scarcely trace them, the little model has moved away from the path she first followed, and is accepting the bounty of some artist, the follower of the men who paint and model, and once on this path there is no return. Formerly there was small demand for models in the United States. But art has been advancing in the United States. There are many studios in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and a dozen other cities, and girls with beauty can find plenty to do. The popularity of art photography has further increased her field. Beautiful women are now the proper thing to follow in magazines, for book illustrators just as pretty photographs. It was as a photographer's model that Miss Nesbitt first gained public notice in Philadelphia. Prices are attractive. Good looking models get from 50 cents to $1 per hour, and there is a demand that the supply does not equal. The first step in the undoing of the model is taken when she begins to pose in the altogether. She gets more money for his kind of work, but she is also more of a reserve that is ever a woman's profession. The woman who poses this way can always look for a shade less deference in art circles. The artist may rave fervently about the abstract law of beauty, and praise the nobility of the ATTRACTIVE Whose features are constant. PRICE OF CATS. Quotations Which Show the Value of Felines. The price asked for the pedigree kittens which a member of the royal family has for sale is not excessive, says the London Evening Standard. They would probably command a higher figure if sent abroad. There must be an export trade in cats, for statisticians who look into these matters find that there is a great scarcity of these creatures in seaport towns, and Defective Page woman who lends her form to aid him in his art work, but it is nevertheless the "altogether" lady who is subjected to the most merciless fire of temptation. The atmosphere of the studio is very alluring. The men who meet there are educated and clever. The cigarette, the wine bottle, all look innocent enough when enviored in a halo of art, with classical references at a setting. THE MUSICIAN THE MUSICIAN THE MUSICIAN THE GIRL WITH SOULFUL EYES. A model much in demand because of her beauty. The child model, used to nothing but squater, feels herself honored to be allowed to stay after her work is finished, and, keeping in the background, to enjoy the laughter, fun, good food and drink. Men are there who mix in these revels, men who are not artists, men who are limitless money, and who are critics of beauty, and of these says some word in praise of the beauty of a certain model, and then all the other girls in the room regard model. While it lasts, she works for him, makes his poverty in the fact that some famous.

Southey has placed it on record that first settlers in Brazil paid $1,500 for a cat, and for kittens their weight in gold dust. This amount is known when it is learned that a sum of $2,500 fused for a Persian cat at the Sydenham cat show some years ago.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. her with envy. It is something to have the friendship and admiration of such a man, they say. He can do everything. Mr. Croesus asks her out to dinner, the next step. She bemoans the fact that she has nothing fit to wear to accompany the great man in the places he frequents. He is very delicate about it, gently offers to supply that lack. One dinner is followed by another and still another, and eventually the future of the girl is in the hands of her generous friend. She has become the Evelyn Nesbit. The man who has helped her along is the type of White. From the calling of the model to the stage is the next step. Some are unfortunate enough to fall in love, seriously in love, perhaps with the humble artist who employs them first, and is temporarily charmed into gentleness by the devotion of his ```markdown ``` model. While it lests it is heaven; she works for him, makes his fortune hers, shares his poverty, and rejoices in the fact that some day he will be famous. When that time comes he has long since forgotten the little model, or if he does remember, it is only his shoulders, and think how polish she was, for a dozen such have been in his life in the interval. Every year in the Latin quarter there are many suicides of models who are goaded to the act by the disloyalty of artists they have loved. And still more continue to live, but suffer grief. To endure all that besets her, the model would have to be a giant of self-control, instead of shallow, silly and quick to respond to kindness, flattery or display Sea Water in His Home. Henry C. Frick's new home, which has been in course of construction at Pride's Crossing, Mass., for the last two years, is about ready for occupancy. Among other remarkable things it contains a large swimming connected directly with the Atlantic ocean that the batterer has to turn to obtain the pleasure of a swim in the sea without leaving the house. An Ancient Book. A descendant of the ancient Babylonians, Mrs. Annie Najarian, of Nashua, N.H., has in her possession a book written in the language of the race and supposed by her to be dated many years before the Christian era. The book is thirteen inches long, eight inches wide and five inches thick. The covers are made of black walnut covered with leather. The leaves of the book are not of paper, but are made of some kind of skin. Told by Herbert Spencer When Herbert Spencer was a boy his father sent him away from home to school.

WHEN ENTERTAINING HOSTESS OFTEN AT LOSS HOW TO INTEREST GUESTS. Seventh Anniversary the "Woolen" Wedding—Appropriate Decorations and Diversions—New Musical Game. The Woolen Wedding The seventh wedding anniversary is celebrated by the woolen wedding, and it can be made a much more enjoyable affair than the name indicates. For the table centerpiece have a large cake; if it is placed on a fern-decorated box to raise it up the effect will be more pleasing. On the top put a doll dressed as "Little Bo-Peep" and a lot of tiny woolly sheep, which may be purchased for a penny aplace at a toy shop. At each place, and as souvenirs for the guests, have a little sheep with a bell put around the neck. For an arrangement of number of cards about seven by five inches in size; have needles and various colored worsteds ready. Tell the guests to prick any design they wish in the card and then work it with the wool after the kindergarten method. Allow a half hour for this and then collect the finished creations and pin them up to be judged after the artists have signed their names. Award a prize for the best and poorest. After the refreshments pass a huge ball of yarn to a person whom you know to be a good story teller and request him or her to spin a yarn as the ball is unwound until a package is reached; then that person appropriates the "find," passes the thread to the next person, who continues the task until he, too, is stopped by an obstacle in ball. There are any number of small favors that may be used in making this ball. Tiny mutton plies may form a feature of this entertainment, as they are suggestive of "wool." Any of the essays by Charles or Mary Lamb would be suitable for prizes; also a drawing or a framed sketch of the ever adorable "Mary" and her immortal "lamb." Worsted balls such as babies love are a pretty decoration when suspended from the chandeliers and gas tets. A New Musical Game. This contest will doubtless be new to many of our readers; it is easy to arrange, as almost no preparation is required. Give the guests paper and pencils, with the request to describe in musical terms the following articles as they are read off by the hosts: - A support for the trousers?—Brace. Twenty?—Score. - A story in an apartment house?—Flat. Not artificial?—Natural. The beginning and the end of one of Shakespeare's plays?—Measure. Oxygen and nitrogen combined?—Airl. By chance?—Accidental. A material that defies?—Pitch. Twine?—Chord. The name of one of Milton's poems?—Allegro. A cane?—Staff. The man with hour glass and sickle?—Time. A warlike defense and the letter most in use?—Forte. To observe?—Note. An army officer?—Major. Necessary conditions for surgical instruments?—Sharp. A promise to pay three days after due?—Grace note. Three times as much?—Treble. Strengthening medicine?—Tonic. A quiver of the voice?—Trill. To filter?—Strain. The stone that binds an arch?—Key. A vegetable?—Beet (beat). The table in a shop?—Counter. A tople?—Theme. The reverse of so loud?—Solo. A faint?—Syncope. What children do in winter?—Slide. Remedy for fatigue?—Rest. A person not of age?—Minor. MADAME MERRI. STYLES FROM ABROAD. Lovely Muslinls in Delicate Shades— Checked Skirts with Plain Black Jackets. Lovely muslinls are to be seen in almost every tint of pink, blue, mauve, gray, primrose and green, also white and black and white. Many of this season's dainty frocks are created from material resembling house flannel or a sort of tea cloth. Black and white checks are exceedingly popular. Paris ladies are wearing check skirts with plain cloth jackets. These skirts are made with a seam down the center of front and back. The front seam is ornamented with sets of buttons. This style of skirt discloses no other trimming, and it is made tight fitting about the hips, whence it gradually attains greater fullness as it reaches the hem. A short well-fitted black cloth jacket shows off the figure to advantage, and it invariably accompanies the check skirt. The coat is finished with a short rounded basque and narrow revers, trimmed with black moire silk. Chair of Domestic Science. A chair of domestic science has been established at the State College in Lexington, Ky., through the work of a number of prominent Kentucky women. Good Hair Tonic. A good hair tonic is made of one quart of oil and one ounce each of castor oil and white vinegar. Well, if the hair is very oily, use half the amount of oil.

It asserts that It is not true that all men are created caval, and equally false that they hiave any inalienable rights. It concludes thos: “Only one great effort has been made in this country to es: tablish political equality. It was the Republican, not the Democratic, party which made that attempt.

THE DISTRICT DEATH RATE. A. reGent report of the Health De. partment of the District of Coltmbta makes. the following statement: “"The mortality’ of the current week shows > large number of the colored population to have dled, there belng 83 deaths of this race as against 88 duting. last week. “These recent deaths represent death rate of 44.7 per 1,000. During the same. week of 1905" the colores death rate was 254. ‘The total deaths of the white population during the ‘week Just ended was 91, which repre: sent a death rate per 1,000, of 20.3, against 15.3 during the same week of 1905. ‘The total number of deaths this week was 174, as compared with 132 during the same week of last year, Tho total death rate for the current Week was 27.0 During last week the rates were, white, 1647; colored, 81.2, and totat 21.0" She explanation for the excessive death-rate among the Afro-Amerleans is to be found in the poverty which loxinte “among the veces Phin covatey compels the members of the race, as & general thing to live amid unwhole- some surroundings, to live upon poor food and to be unable to secure proper medical attendance. In Washington, as elsewhere, the scavenger and sani: tary officer pay attention to the boule- vards of the rich and neglect the alleys of the poor. ‘The ruling white man has much to do with the death rate of the Afro-American, THE AFRO-AMERICAN AND THE MULE. From a recent article now going tae rounds, we clip the following: “In point of intelligence and also in mus- cular strength and endurance the mule excels the horse. He is not so ner- vous or high strung. He has a saner instinct of -self-preseryation. His vi tality is greater. He can stand more hardships, Is surer footed, and when properly, trained is steadier and more reliable in work harness. ‘To Charles Darwin the mule always appeared “a surprising creature. “That a hybrid,” he said, “shoul pos Sess more intelligence, ‘memory, ob- stinacy, social affection and power ot muscular endurance than either of Its Parents seems to indicate that art has outmastered nature.” It is well known that the brain of: the mule is heavier than that of the horse.” But if we apply the same theory to the animal man, we should meet with sturdy opposition. A great deal has been said in reference to racial: purity, ani in this country, at least, it ie ac sented (aa a slemonatrated Prinetple, that the hybrid Is distinctly inferior to camer “of his. “progenoré eeness acceptance is, however, no proof of the truth of a proposition, as has been It is consoling to notice the fact that the Afro-American is very much lik other people, and that when a fact is mentioned to his discredit, a fair in vestigation will show that the same is true of white people. As an instance a great deal has been safd of the death rate of the Afro-American population, and it has been intimated that that irate is increasing. But the investiga tions made by the Atlanta Conference show that such is not the case in any part of this country. But even if i Were the case, how does it compare with that of the white race? From. an article in the Washington Times, we ‘clip the following: “There is In’ ses sion at Caxton Hall, Westminster, ‘convention,~called by the mayor’ of England's most socialistic elty, Hud: dersfield, to consider the tremendous mortality among children in Great Britain.” ‘The birth rate is falling, the average age at marriage Is steadily in. creasing, and the marriage rate is Browing less. But this is not the worst, in the first year after they come into the world about one-seventh of the bables die.” So in the matter of the death rate, the Afro-American ig like the white man in England and attempts to turn that matter to discredit are simply ridietlous.

He stands upon the platform of Theodore Roosevelt and his legislation carried through the last session of Congress. W. E. STOOPES. Republican Candidate for Renomination as County Surveyor, Hennepin County. Born in Minneapolis, Minn., July 15 1858. "Father was a Veteran in the civil war and served in the 6th Minn., Volunteer Infantry." Graduated from the Minneapolis Public and High School.

Vice-President Engineers and Surveyors Society of Minneapolis. Assistant City Engineer of the City of Minneapolis, from 1888 to 1899. Head Deputy County Surveyor of Hennepin County, 1899 to 1906. Elected County Surveyor, January 15, 1906, by County Commissioners upon the resignation of Geo. W. Cooley. Is a candidate for the office of County Surveyor on the Republican ticket.

Candidate for Renomination as Special Judge, Municipal Court, Minneapolis. HUGH R. SCOTT Republican Candidate for Renomination as Auditor for Hennepin County. Hugh R. Scott, the present Auditor of Hennepin County who has so efficiently and acceptably served the people as Auditor is again a candidate for this important office. The ability, faithfulness and correctness with which he has filled this position merit a re-nomination and re-election. Mr. Scott was born in Minneapolis and has resided here practically all his life. He enlisted in the 13th Minnesota and served in that regiment in the Philippines until it was mustered out. Mr. Scott's management of the affairs of this office has received a flattering encomium in the report of the Public Examiner. His candidacy should and does appeal with peculiar force to the Afro-American voters of Hennepin County, as he is the first Auditor who ever gave an Afro-American a position in his office. Shortly after his election the first time he placed one of our representative young men, Mr. Charles B. Yancey, in his office and Mr. Yancey is still in the office doing his work in such a manner as to reflect credit upon himself and the people whose representative he is. Mr. Scott is a friend of all classes, deservedly popular and the indications are that he will be continued in office. ST. PAUL.
