A German physician states that the wearing of veils is the cause of acne rosacea affecting the nose and he re lates a number of instances in whioh young womeu who were otherwise in excellent health had their complex ions impaired by the wearing of veils when riding, driving, oycling, etc. He considers that the lesion is caused by the friction of the skin against the veil, impregnated with moisture from the breath, the effect being exaggerated by the tightness with which it is necessary to attach the veil when indulging in athletic pursuits. If veils must be worn while taking exercise they should be loose, aud the nose should be anncinted with lanoline or some other suitable lubricant-Scientific American. Captain Capron'? Widow n Nurse. Following the last wishes of her dead husband, Mrs. Allen K. Capron, wife of the late Captain Capron of Bough Bider fame, is now on her way to the Philippines. There she will join the Bed Cross as a nurse and will spend the rest of her life in that work. She has left her children at Fort Sill, Okla., with friends. Two years ago Captain Capron was shot down in the charge at Sau Juan HilL In a letter received shortly be fore his death Mrs. Capron was told by her husband that his one desire was to see her enter the Bed Cross service. The next news she received was of his death. The distressing days that I followed made her forget all about the letter. But two mouths ago she came across it and read again her husband's wishes, so she planned to carry them out and become a member of the Bed Cross. A Summer Novelty. Double faced satin ribbon or black velvet ribbon with a satin back are used in a new manner to remove ex* treme plainness from the back breadths of the skirt'of a summer frock. The dross ot dimity has a charming flower pattern of tiny rose buds on a white ground. The strip of climbing - rose buds is spaced at intervals of two inches between a harrow, extremely fine trellis of leaf green, which also stripes the 'material, making a stripe of either pink buds or greon trellis at .intervals of about one inch. The skirt receives a deep hem. The back breadths are full and are shin ed into the waist band and below it at least half a dozen times. The shir ring is stayed in place with a fiat piece of cotton used beneath the skirt. There is no trimming on the skirt except?t the back, where a succes sion of bows of ribbon with quite long loops are spaced down the middle of the bade breadth. A fiat backed wash dress ol' sheer materials is never an entire success unless it is gathered with a generous hand, and not "scant ed," aa New Englanders say. The Children's Home Work. It is an open question with many thoughtful people whether there is not a screw loose in the system which demands and es acts so much study at home from growiug boys and girls. At precisely the period when the physical life is most imperious in its claims, when the lad is shooting up like a weed, when tho girl is all legs and arms, and both are in the great est need of play, of rest, of sleep, of exercise, they mnst spend five or six hours of daylight in school, brain and nerves nuder high pressure, stimu lated to intellectual activity at every point. It is little wonder if they are correspondingly listless and languid when the hours of ?ecitation are over, and not altogether ready to give any portion of the afternoon to the preparation of the next day's BUmies. I fear the expectant attitude of American parents iu general re-en forces that of school boards and trustees, since few fathers and mothers have patience with a dull child. or sufficient common sense not to be cruelly mortified if their sons and daughters do not make rapid progress. Tho doctor interferes now and then, lays an arresting hand on the home work, cuts short the hours of school attendance, or advises a cessation of school for a while, but the doctor is obeyed under protest. Most of us wonld be deeply humiliat ed if our children were not regnlarly promoted every half year, or if our neighbor's children' took prizes and not ours.-Margaret E. Sangster in Harper's Bazar. A Carver of Fungus. A clever young woman of Somer set, Penn., has attracted attention of late through the medium of her unique and interesting fungus carv ing. This is a distinct novelty and an i entirely new branch of cameo work which the young artist claims to hare I originated, having taken up the work about three years ago. Previous to that time she had been an artist, working principally in black and white, and along these con ventional lines she has achieved a fair j degree of success, but determined to branch ont for herself in some new and more proraisiug held of artistic effort. By a happy chance, while making up her mind as to what was best to do, she conceived the idea of carving upon the soft fungus which grows in such profusion in tho wood lands so near her stu:lio. During the coarse of a ta'k with 1 the young lady in her studio tho other day, abe remarked, when quo^tiouod conceruiug ber work: "The fungus used for wood carv ing is found on partially decayod oak and maple trees. It must be care fully removed iu order to preserve the delicate and creamy surface, which is so easily injured while iu a fresh and moist state. It is ulso necessary to have the fungus properly cured and made as hard aud durable as wood be fore it is worked upou. "The selection of a subject requires careful study, as only certain pic tures lend themselves to effective work. A dark object on a light back ground would simply be a ho!e with no relief-au intaglio instead of a cameo. lu the fungus carving tho ..abject must stand out boldly in re I lief and yet have shades of coloring which are produced by a careful man ipulation of the light surface and brown interior. "In order to dig ont shadows in stead of holes, delicate handling of the tools is required. lu arranging my work I get suggestions from sev eral pictures,, taking what I think will come out well, aud then I form a com plete picture, changing the light and shade to suit the material and work ing subject As a false move is fatal, I mast havo a detiuito knowledge of the elle ct I wish to obtain before I begin to work. Tho peculiar shape of the fungus must be studied and the objects grouped accordingly. One acquires only by experience the knack which gives character to the work. "It is hard to form a correct idea of the effect of carved fungi from pho tographs, as the soft shades of color ing-ranking from creamy white to rich brown-with the subject in re lief, are lost VThe length of time required to finish a piece depends on the size, quality and subject, usually from two days to a week." Fashion Notes. Embroidered swisses will ba fash ionable this summer. Ice is the latest color. It is rather a deep shade of cream with a green tint in it White nun's veiling will be much used for the dressy afternoon gown for summer wear. Cheviot in all the pale tints as well as dark shades of bine and gray is the popular material for tailor gowns. Some of the most elaborate che mises are made with rovers, in which are iusertions of lace in the familiar pattern of bow knots. Many new belt clasps are shown in the shops. They are, most of them, sparkling and showy, made in cut steel, in enamel, iu .French gilt, in rhinestone and white metal. Silk skirts with silk Jersey yoko tops which cling closely to the figure are one of the desirable novelties. And then there are china silk waists in all colors prettily trimmed with lace. Mousseline de soie is used for trimming on many silk petticoats in place of chiffon. One skirt, which is trimmed with it has the mousseliue edged with a wash blond lace and made up with a Tom Thumb fringe of the silk. Beautiful undergarments just from France have a union snit skirt and corset cover made entirely of inch and a half wide lace insertion, and the same width fine mull between run ning rouud the figure. There are no sleeves to the corset cover, and it fin ishes straight around under the arms. Linen and cotton are combined with many handsome silk gowus. A pretty little corn colored silk bodice has collar and cuffs of white liueu, with applications of black velvet Embroidered cream batiste is charm ing for chemisettes and yokes with silk or cotton gowns of contrasting shades. A charming little corset cover is made of half inch moire ribbon in pale blue and lace the samo width. The ribbon and insertion are set in on the bias in the back, meeting in a centre seam The front is also bias, and is gathered in at the waist with a narrow blue ribbon set under a band of insertion. Tokes are tabooed on the newest shirt waists, but every variety of plait, tack, insertion and shirring is used to render effective this very necessary adjunct to the wardrobe of the sommer girl. Mull, chiffon or ribbon is the most approved material for the neck finishing, but a lineu col lar and four-in-hands made of black velvet ribbon are favored by some who affect tailor-made costumes of the severest type. The expanding effect of some of the new plaited skirts, flowing ont into much fulness nt the feet, is still fur ther increased by a gathered flounce set upon the foundation skirt, or by a narrow shirred ruche placed at the extreme edge of the skirt proper be fore it is plaited. Hows of ribbon and scallops or stitched bauds are likewise used as borderings to kilted skirts and plain skirts with overdresses trimmed to match. The Li mu* of Tull Men. Tall men, as a rule, have bodies ont of proportion to their lower liuibB that is smaller than they ought to be - with the natural result that they aro unable to bear fatigue, or to compete iu the struggles of life with lesser men more harmoniously proportioned. Army experience bears out the?e ob servations. In a long and fatiguing march the tall men usually fall out first, or succumb to campaigns, unless, as is very rarely tho case, they have well-built and symmetrical frames. A soldier between 5 feet 5 inches and 5 feet 8 or 9 inches is usually the man most capable of bearing the strain of life. _ Sfrte-LlchtH on Life.

Where Napoleon Spent His Exile. Nearly four miles inland from Jamestown, the capital of St Helena, is an isolated farmhouse, on a elevated plateau about 2000 feet above the level of the sea. This is Longwood, whore Napoleon lived from 1815 until he died there in 1812. The house is a long, low, whitewashed, trim build ing. _ Tho cost of constructing a cable system is about $200 per mile, and the total amount invested in submarine lines at present is upward of ?200, 000,000. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. The population of the earth as esti mated by Ernest George Bavenstein some few years ago for the Boyal Geo graphical'society was l,lS7,y00,0U0. Electro-medical treatment is given patients by means of a new sofa, which has batteries and an induction coil contained in the lower portion, with bead and foot plates to be placed in coutuct with the patient. The fact that mr.ny profitable peach orchards exist on the eastern shore of Lake Michigau is explained by Mr. M. B. Waite as due to the influence of the lake iu moderating the temper ature along its eastern coast This inline;) ce is loss decided on the west ern ?ido, the general directiou of at mospheric movements being from west to east. Tests made on the Sonth London Electric railway show that the trac- j tive resistance per ton of train meas ured at the draw-bar at the moment of starting is 40 pounds, and this falls to 10 pounds as soon as a speed of sis miles per hour is attaiued. Between six and 13 miles per hour the resist ance remains almost constant, while above that speed it seems to rise almost proportionately until a speed of 2G miles per hour is reached, when the resistance is about 21 pounds per ton. A case of green vision, everything seen appearing to be green in color, has been brought before the British Ophthalmological society by H. \V. 1 odd, and records have been fouud of 13 other cases. The coudition -was not one peculiar to age or sex, and it was not due to errors of ?efractiou. Its existence does not appear to have been explained. In at least seven of the cases the general health was no ticeably impaired, and in 10 of the patients there were eye defects mostly connected with the optio nerve and retina. Tho nutmeg groves, called "nutmeg gardens," are singularly beautiful. The nutmeg trees blossom and bear fruit continuously, so that the harvest season lasts the year round. Their straight, tall trunks are covered with glossy, dark foliage, amid which hangs the yellow fruit, showing where it has burst from ripeness, the rich red of the mace within. Above these orch ards huge canary-trees weave their branches into a canopy, from which come the cooing of nut-pigeons, the cry of parrots and tho aong of tho Indian nightingale. I Beferring to the opinion entertained by many physicists that the blue color of the sea and lakes does not belong to the water itself, but to the reflec tion of the sunlight from invisible particles which the water always con tains in suspension, a writer in the American Chemical Journal remarks that this idea originated in tho theory held as to the cause of the blue color of the sky. The very exhaustive ex periments, however, made of late in Europe show that the particles to which clear water, distilled or natural, owes its illumination have the power to reflect the red, the yellow and the green waves, aud that they cannot, therefore, be the cause of the blue color of the water, reflecting with equal facility waves of all lengths, they return the suulight to ns without chromatic change. Thus, it- is con cluded water is blue of itself, and the particles it holds in suspension are the principal cause of its illumination -according to their nature, too, de termining, also, tho modification of the color of the water, and producing greenish tones when they do not de stroy all the natural color. HOW SIX CHILDREN DIED. There Is Sacred lv.ihoj in This Tragedy From Knr India. In September, 1899, while Bev. Mr. Leo and his wife, of the Methodist school at Darjeeling, India, were ab sent on business for their mission in the hills, a storm aud landslide swept away their home and buried their six children. The eldest sou, Wilbur, a boy of thirteen, survived long enough to breathe the story. There is a sac red pathos iu his sketch of his heroic sister, aud of the brave way in which all the little ones met death. Vida Maud Lee, a girl of 17 had charge of the young flock, and when, in the dead of night, tho storm increased, and rocks aud earth, loos ened by a two days' deiuge of rain, began to roll down the mountain, she tried to lead her brothers and sisters to a place of safety. The road and every path of escape were blocked with broken trees and fallen soil aud stones. In the ra n, the dense darkness and tho deafening wind,she know that the children must scatter, and some of them be lost. "We will go back to the house," she said. "Then, if God wishes to save us, He will save us together; and if not, He will take us together." Beturuiug, blinded and drenched, they lighted a lamp, kindled a lire and prayed. There were no terrified shrieks for deliverance-only "Thy will be done." The sublime faith of the eldest sinter had lilto I even the youngest soul. In tho midst of the awful uproar around tbem the peace of a better world had already begun, A sudden slide of rock crashed against the house, and tho corner of the room fell in. Vida rose aud stood calmly with her helpless company. "Children," she said, "the house is going to fall, and we shall soon be in heaven. "If you could only have seen Vida't face!" coutiuued the little narrator in his last words to his mother. "She looked so beautiful when she talked to us! And we weren't a bit afraid. We just felt as if we were all in the train, coming to seo yon and papa." In another room the brave girl once more gathered her patient brood, and there, in a loving group, they knelt and awaited the inevitable end. The bitterness of death was passed. They did not know that they were "more than conqueror."." A moment later the great avalanche rolled over them, and five pure young spirits were freed from tribulation forever. The next day, men exploring the scene of ruin found little Wilbur, so badly injured that he could not live, and tenderly cared for him. He ling ered a few days, till the alflicted par ents could reach him. The foregoing facts, communicated by his mother to the Western Chris tian Advocate, wero related by him, little by little, on his deathbed.

HALL & RUCKEL, New York . 1848. London. A HOT WEATHER DANOER. Death Lurks Behind Ice Cream, Soft Drinks and Summer Luxuries. Beware of Ice cream and soft drinks, fruits and ices, for behind tbeiu lurk death! More than twice as many persons died last year from Inability to curb their appetite Mr these summer lux uries than were carried to their graves from dread consumption and fevers (soldiers Included). A clipping bureau and a medical journal's statement tell a tale of dire disaster from these evils, well they may be called. While consumption killed forty in one state, nearly one hundred died from eating too much Ice cream. In Chica go and vicinity, malaria proved fatal to thirty, while ninety persons were mur dered by swallowing peach and cherry stones. In tho state of New Jersey fen died from heart disease, while Ice cold drinks killed twice that number. A man In Canton, 0., died from eat ing cherries and ice cream at the same time, the acid fermenting with cream. In Oshkosh, Wis., a young woman at tended a dance, and after eating eigh teen plates of Ice creum fell dead. Her name was Mary Blake, But ravenous appetites for cold stuff on a hot day ls not all the evil there ls to soft drinks. A number of well-known red drinks are known to contain poisonous acids. The soft drink habit is more fatal to young women than to the men. This Is attributed to feminine weakness and the manner lu which they consume their drinks, namely, through a straw. A well-known doctor said to a New York Journal correspondent: "I know of several girls who have died from sipping Ices through a straw. This is the reason: In sucking the leos up the cold substance strikes the palate of the mouth and cools the head. Then when the young women walk in the sun and exert themselves the cold reacts, giving them a seve ? headache, which Is later followed by a fever, and In some cases death has resulted." The doctor says men are not so easily affected. Fruit ices are also said to be very unhealthful. He Was Too Coed for the Tees." A few weeks ago two detectives, one from London and the other a Glas gow man, were discussing their profes sional experiences In one of the streets In Glasgow, An argument ensued on the respective abilities of English and Scottish thieves, and the smart one from London, on their parting at a street corner, said that if the London thieves, especially pickpockets, were as harmless as the Scottish ones, they would soon be cleared out. Taking this as an aspersion cast on the astuteness of the Scottish police as well, the Glasgow detective was net tled, and thirsted for revenge. Look ing round, he espied a little fellow who had been dogging them, and who was kuown as an export pickpocket. ; Crossing the street, he addressed the j boy, and pointing to the retreating Agare of the English detective, he ask ed if he would know him again. "Aye,' replied the boy. "What aboot it?" "I want you to lift his ticker. He soys no one in Glasgow can relieve him of it." . "Ah, It's a'rlcht-see ony green?" "Honor bright, Tommy! I'll give you half a crown when you deliver up the watch to me." "Ye will; an' what else?" "Nothing else." "Let's see, then. I'm to lift the ticker, an* you're to pay half a crown for't on thc spot?" "Yes, that's lt." "An' wad ye ken it If ye seen lt? "I would among a thousand." "Is that lt, then?" and the boy, div- ' lng Into his trousers pocket, display ed the Identical watch, and explained that he had secured lt "while the gent j was chal?n* aboot the prigs."

Big City Without Lawyers. The Sou, a weekly published in Mel bourne, Australia, says that the people of that city are largely dispensing with tho services of courts and lawyers as costly luxuries that honest people can very well do without. After the boom burst In 1938 the sunny Southern city at the Antipodes found that money was pretty scarce and hard to get bold of. As a consequence, thc people held on to every penny they could get like grim death. Lawyers' charges there, ss herc, were high. By a sort of common con sent men began to try to get along without lawyers, with so much suc cess that lt ls now reported that many of the courts are without a single case on their calendars, that most of the Judges are Idle, and that all but a few of the lawyers have bad to seek other occupations.

None can dispute the assertion that Eve had a doll before she had Cain. The dolls of the Greek and Ro man children were burled with them. The native children in the heart of Africa and the greasy Eskimo baby In the north of Greenland have dolls of which they are just as proud as our children are of theirs. Most of the dolls for civilized children come from Coburg and Sonneburg, towns of Thurlngla. Tust now England is be ing stocked -with dolls dressed in khaki, representing Bobs, Kitchener, Baden-Powell and Rhodes. They are turned out by the million, at prices ranging from nineteen cents to SH a dozen. The doll ls a simple toy, but the -work seeded for its completion is compli cated.

Every spring you clean the house you live in, to get rid of the dust and dirt which collected in the winter. Your body, the house your soul lives in, also becomes filled up during the winter with all manner of filth, which should have been removed from day to day, but was not. Your body needs cleaning inside. If your bowels, your liver, your kidneys are full of putrid filth, and you don't clean them out in the spring, you'll be in bad odor with yourself and everybody else all summer. DONT USE A HOSE to clean your body inside, but sweet, fragrant, mild but positive and forceful CASCAFETS, that work while you sleep, prepare all the filth collected in your body for removal, and drive it off softly, gently, but none the less pure and nourishing, your stomach and bowels clean and idneys healthy and active. Try a 10-cent box today, and if .y back-but you'll see how the cleaning of your body is at? HADE EASY BY ALL DRUGGISTS wei troubles and too poor to buy CASCARETS we will send a box free.
