Tfcere is nothing so destroying to beauty as weariness. Overwork and overplay brings deep Unes and rains delicate complexions. The muscles in a tired face relax, cheeks sink in and most women are so very busy that they do not take time to look into the ?glass until the summer vacation comes, when they have a chance to note their dreamy and fagged -looks. The physi cian will suggest rest This advice means that worries would be cast off; that thc patient should sleep nine hours every night, and that she should spend ber days upon a sun-shiny piaz za. Of course, she could exercise in the air. She should drink hot milk at night and confine herself to a simple, wholesome fare.-Hartford (Conn.) Post. Coiffures That Tell the Age. A woman's age in Japan is easily told by the arrangement of her hair. Girts from 9 to 15 wear their hair Interlaced with , red crepe in a semi circle around their heads, a curl being left free a: each side of the forehead. From. 15 to j30 the hair is dressed high on. the forehead and arranged at the back In the shape of a butterfly or fan, while the decorations are twistings of silver coed and sometimes colored balls. After she is 30 a woman twists her hair around a shell pin which is placed horizontally at the back of the bead.^ . , . A widow's fashion, of. hairdressing ls far and away in advance ' of her American sisters, as lt tells her lonely condition at a ?lance, and the initia ted are able to detect by it whether or not she w*?hes to marry again. The Wearing or Jewelry. Jewelry ia now-woniron a more ex tensity ?t^-thaa In former years, and "god ruck" charms hang from almost every chain. The shamrock. pure ?nd simple, is always in demand, bTJt ;??y models show crystal hearts enameled, with the green shamrock, or small gold-lockets with three em eraldU^arranged as a shamrock leaf are quite new. . Absolutely novel a new well-modeled gold pig, the sides formed! of a white lucky bean, on which) r?s a green shamrock leaf, thus giving three lucky tokens on the same ornament.. The long chain simply thrown round the neck is now hung with a purse of gold network, and smaller charms are ?p??dent elsewhere, but the newest fashion ls an open locket or a framed minlatere surrounded by pearls or precious stones. The portrait may be entirely fanciful, but an aristrocratic. old beau or a small child's face is much affected. Th?gCt.he. high stocks are fastened back and front with Jeweled brooches, or .aUphg jscarf pf lace or a fringed 8?1? one ls drawn round the neck and fastened at the ^throat and bust with fancy pins or' brooches, and as clasps and buckles np longer adorn onr belts another brooch or plii can be used here. Jeweled pins apparently keep on the hat or to que, but the useful black one, concealed by bow or, rosette, usually does the work, while Its more ornamental ' dditldn -pleases the' eye. Handsome Walking Costumes. There is an ever Increasing demand for thin textured dress fabrics such as voile* crepe de chine and French cash? mere, and the colors mostly in favor 'are pale and medium shades of fawn, orchid colors, grays and wedgewood .blue. Black is still very much worn. Brilliant shades, such as cerise, rose pink or geranium, are only sparingly adojjtfcik the" tendency being entirely In favor of pastel tints. The materials employed in the mak ing up of better class costumes have to be of the very finest quality, and what ever kind of trimming may be used for the decoration of a bodice must be the best possible, and care must al eo be taken not to overcrowd any kind of outdoor dress.,.with lace or passe menterie; otherwise the general effect of the costume'will be spoiled, and in order that the richness of the material may be seen to advantage the skirt should be untrammeled1 by any sort of trimming that Would tend to disturb the full, rich folds of the. box plaits down the center of back. French delaines and figured foulards are also very much in demand this season, and ihe demand for all kinds of cotton fabrics, such as. butcher blue drill,- white piques ano grass lawns, is unprecedental. The skirts are, with out; exoeptlori, made perfectly plain and have two boX:plaits down the cen ter of. hack and ,are generally worn with'a;.very elaborately made blouse that Is either^beautifully embroidered or else.; gathered np into very fine tucks of plaits. / . ? -. .' Tile Secret of Charm. The- p*ciraW''g-W is restful In man ner and shs ls sympathetic.. You never find a popular girl, as I count lt desirable-to~ be popular,- of the noisy and mannish. sort says a writer In the ?t louis\Republic. I would bog of the girl that she will never; never, try to "be a "good-fellow" glrj. Her popularity.; won in. this way, has a very napowr'.^cope. Even the men who like to'calv her their "chum" usu ally grow tlrvd ot-jberf or, at any rata, they will pick out for wives the most demure little maids. Then the "good fellow" is expected to play the "good fellow" part ?U through t?iose ro mances, and If fcft? is sbmerrmes weary of lier m, is so Vreary t&t she cries, the trying fe m 'secret, and no body faYowfc. The popular girl has a knack In en tertaining that it is well wferVh the while of other girl?, lb study. With one or a doaett ??op?? it is all the same, she diva's \ier attention so charming ly. She helps out the easily embar rassed one when he or she ls trying to relate a story, by a ?mire ct ?m en couraging tittie ntfd tit &e head. And the ftrscl&t?ng m??V-well, there are many c^rn'oWcplace little things that f?rtt f?? mystery of his charm. In tko first place, one recognizes Instinct ively the strength of character of the fascinating man. You may even know him to be a severe critic* but fot that very reason you care the more to make an especial effort to please ?lin. The fascinating man fis always gallant, but ot? 'obtrusively so. His ideal woman is oever of the butterfly type, ai>-d, therefore, when he I? seriously attract ed, you may be reasonably certain lils wife w'.i! be quite as charming as he has always been among his friends and the world In general What Fashions to Avoid. When they tell me at the shops that "everyone" is asking fdr ?\tcn', and such a pattern bf dress materrai, ot for a certain shade of colpir, the fasti dious wttman makes up her mind on the spot, that this particular pattern Or shade of color is Just what she does not want. Well-meant zeal some times overleaps the mark. Unless you enjoy being dressed in a uniform, and having a gown indistinguishable from that of li) out of 20 women, you will avoid purchasing these too-popular articles. To follow the prevailing fashion is possible with showing some originality of Idea. We are dissatisfied when a frock comes home looking "commong We expect our dressmakers to display some originality or variety itt dispos ing of given materials, So as to be stow hil as'r^'t bf individuality in ? costume. The best models of imported frocks are rarely shown unless to Intending purchasers at large establishments. The importers do not care to- have their "creations" copied in cheaper materials as soon seen. This Is per fectly - natural. It would be unbusi nesslike of them to give free exhibi tions of London or Paris costumes, knowing, as they do, how soon such models would be copied here by the women who throng the "openings." Also their fastidious patrons would decline to purchase the new model if Its freshness was exhausted. We do not care to go down the street dressed like every woman you meet. Fashion has its reverses. Therefore, In follow* lng a fashion, order your garments made up with some little distinctive touch.-Philadelphia Record. Linen and pique gowns are trimmed with machine-stitched ribbon bands. All-white dresses are quite as much the vogue as ever, despite the popular ity of pa'e blue, pink, and mauve. White corset belts of plaid ribbon are worn with elthor black or white gowns, and are finished with sash ends or not, as you like. Hatpins are one of the small extra vagancies of the time. They are made of jewels pr of gold and silver, many of- them beautiful in workmanship. Many dainty morning dresses are made of soft-finished French zepher and fancy Madras. French gingham, and mercerized muslin. Cream and green, pink and white, mauve and white, and other delicate colors that look light and cool are often seen In these gowns. Those who wish to have the uewest model in traveling gowns will count on a skirt and a more than a half long, loose coat. But economy lies in the direction of the short jacket, as such a suit answers for all kinds of wear, while the former ls altogether for traveling purposes. Large, turned-back cuffs of muslin and lace insertion, matching the now popular sailor collars, are considered very recherche, and they add a certain elegance to almost every costume. They are very deep, reaching half-way to the elbow, and are edged by frills of lace .and embroidery. Some of the new cloth and light wool costumes for early autumn wear will be made with a princesse skirt, with a corselet top reaching about six inches above the waist line front and back. The pointed ends of the bolera, en Bl?te, will just meet the girdle-like curve of the upper edge of the skirt.

These ginghams are softer, finer, and show more artis tic color-blend i ii gs and delicate silk like patterns than ever before, which is saying much In thier favor. He Couldn't Breathe. The father of the family was not altogether a desirable parent, and so when he went off In a violent rage and locked himself In a violent rage and locked himself in an outhouse they gave him time. Then they went and clam ored at thc door and finally broke it open. A rope was fastened to a beam, and the father was suspended /therefrom, but the noose had been placed around his waist He glared at them. ' "What arc you put up to?" they asked. "Hanging, myself," he answered. "Wouldn't any parent hang himself after'he had been spoken to as you spok? to me?" "But you've got the loop In the wrong place," they said. "It ought to be round your neck.'1 "I know," said he, with as much dignity as was compatible with his slowly revolving at the end of the rope; "I tried that way, but I couldn't breathe."-New York News. Prisoner* and Keepera Change Place?. In the course of an account of the capture of Pretoria Winston Churchill says: "The Duke of Marlborough, pro cured a Dutch guide, galloped ahead tp the cage where the British officers were confined and requested the Boer commandant to release them forthwith. Though the demand was not supported by any force the Dutch officer com plied, and after a little demur the gate was opened and the officers, rushing out, seized the rifles from their jailers, and in five minutes 129 British officers were free, and 48 burghers, lately their jailers, were confined is their stead. AMERICA'S WOOD GROWTH; For?st Prb?uttV?oB Which Outrival Tua? ?t Ainy biker Country. Although not producing some ot the fancy woods common to aom? coun tries', espVdally tnose. o?t the.Ori?ht; tte United States far outrivals any other country in the variety and use fulness of her forest productions. Of oak alone there are about thirty species in this country, and about the same nunjber o? tine, thirteen of wal nut and hickory, eleven of ash, nine of maple, and seven of magnolia. It is a notable fact that nearly a.11 de ciduous trees, such as birch, maple and oak, are found in the eastern portions of the country, while the eo?l= ferae, er pibes? are th? ?r?vaiiiiif varieties iii tile western part Bf the country. Of the thirty species '?f ?ai only about six are found West bf the great lakes. Besides the gigantic red wood, which has been so often described, California boasts the nutmeg tree, of which four species are known. This tree ls an evergreen, and its wood is valued chiefly for its ornamental use. It produces a nut about the size of a walnut, resembling a nutmeg, from which the name of the trefe ls derived". The yucca tree ls Very abundant iii Arizona, and one species ls thus de^ scribed: At the Height ?f six br eight feet it divides into ? few long branches, each of which terminates with tough, sharp, bayonet-like leaves about :u'ne Inches in length. The wood of this tree is made into paper. An other variety of the yucca bears a cluster of figlike fruit which ls pleas ant to the taste, and when fresh is much valued by the Indians, being dried by them and preserved In the form of cakes. The leaves are made 'jito cordage. The fibre ls also woven by some of the Indian tribes into sad dle blankets, and ls even used hi mak ing clothing materials. The whol? genus is endogenous-that ls; they at tain theii; growth by accretions ihade within the stem already formed, and uot externally, as in all other trees except the palniB, and there ls, more vver, no perceptible difference between Ihe bark and the Inside of the wood. ^Washington Times. Japanese Tea Exports. During the last season the exports of tea from Japan to the United Stntes and Canada amounted to no less than 3.931,239 pounds. Of this amount 25, 94G.020 pounds were shipped from Yokohama, and the rest from Kobe. Depreciation of Money. In 1873 a silver dollar Was worth one dol lar and six-tenths in gold.

NOT ia there any undergrowth; the youngest trees dre several hundred ye?rs bid; . A hond?n firm of electricians, lt lt ?tated, has patented a novel d?coratif?; system of lighting rooms. The mr.ln Idea is the insertion of transparent pan els faced with negatives of well-known photogravures, through which filters subdued electric light, the effect being somewhat the same as the light of a church, and eminently becoming. There is no glare, and the pictures can be chosen according to the taste of the owner of the room: About the middle of this century it was the universal custom to face the white keys of pianos and organs with ivory, and to make the black ones or ebony. Long ago ivory became too ex pensive for any but the finest key boards, celluloid taking its place. Now ebony, also, has advanced in price so that a substitute for It ls in demand. Dogwood has been found to serve the purpose excellently, as it can be stained a fine black, and oiled and polished until lt equals ebony both in durability and appearance. The in dustry of cutting and marketing dog wood, once a valueless tree, foi- this purpose is already giving empl?yiheflt to ? considerable humber df peopi?. There has been constructed in Port land1, bregon, a dredge of novel de sign, which is to be used in gold-min ing along the beach at Cape Nome, Alaska. It is to work from the mark of low tide to water of 10 or 12 feet depth, and rests on large rollers, so that its position may be readily changed. These rollers are mounted on three vertical shafts, and these shafts can be adjusted so as to keep the platform carrying the machinery always level and above water. The power is furnished by a gasoline en gine, and operates a chain of buckets, which are capable of excavating to a width of 25 feet and a depth of six feet. The gravel is raised to a plat form, Where there is machinery which throws out the coarser particles and passes the finer grains to fluted coo per plates, on which the gold is saved by amalgamation through a shaking or reciprocating motion.' WHEN THE HEART IS HEAVY. Do Kot Spread Menial Depression Any More Than n Contagious Disease. Worry kills. It wears upon the brain as dropping wnwr wears away stone. The habit must be killed by eternal viligance. resolution arid good sense. Worry, like bad air or. an ob noxious person, must be driven out, and the best way to drive either out ls by the Introduction of the good. You can fill your mind with comfort ing, calming thoughts, . leaving > no room for the harassing ones. -Yen can flood out the enemy, just as by pour ing a stream of clear water into a tumbler filled with discolored liquid you can soon force out the muddy con tents of the glass and leave it filled with liquid crystal. Don't let events depress you. Maintain your equili brium, and let mind rule matter and good sense judge events. The emotion al nature is always watching for a chance to exploit itself. Keep it in re serve, ready for every touch of human feeling, responsive to goodness, honor,, cheerfulness and all healthy feeling, but do not allow it to tinge your un derstanding or in any way affect your sane view of business or the affairs of life. Check expression when bit ter or somber feeling has the best of you. To say how sad or perplexed you feel when your heart sinks for the moment deepens your Inwaid troubles, and at the same time spreads it to outside people. You would not spread disease; do not spread mental distress. Your desponding word burst ing impulsively from a full heart In the presence of a friend, add to the burdens of another human being-one, perhaps, already weighed down by cares and anexietles. To so speak is to allow yourself to be overborne by "things" ruled by the natural course of the world. You cannot rule, tho world, it is true, but you have tho power to rule your part of it-that ls, yourself. Don't hate and don't worry. This is the advice given by a pale and b?n?ficient old man to those who asked him for the secret of length of days. He might have added, Don't get angry, -Ada C. Swett, lu the Woman's Home Companion.

We learn with considerable aston ishment that, in the movement from Helpmakaar to Laings Nek, Buller's cavalry, under two such capable cav alry officers as Lord Dundonald and Burn-Murdoch, failed, for some rea son yet to be explained, to capture nearly the whole of the Boer guns which were in process of removal, and which were so imminently threat ened that the Boers absolutely aban doned them in a hollow, taking off their ox teams, and leaving the pieces to their fat.o. General Brocklehurst does not seem to had been in this show, but, as regards the other two, there seems to be no doubt that they missed a great chance, for they were within easy striking distance of the Boer guns, which were abandoned for hours together, one gossip says days, until the enemy brought back their ox teams and removed the artillery under our very noses.-Correspond ence London Leader.

She was simply petrified wh'?n ih? bill for the first week's immense bas ketful of deliciously clean things wa's: presented.
