1 Wearings* Destroys Beauty* . .
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.)

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.
What arc called "silk ginghams" aro
French zepher fr?brics. manufactured
with little or no dressing in the woven
threads, - but "mercei ized" after the
weaving is finished. 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.

Idea is the insertion of transparent pan

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

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

There has been constructed in Port

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

by amalgamation through a shaking

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,

burning mountains In the wdrld. Orig

probably hundreds of millions df tons,

Dense forests covered it, and its pe
culiar formation was unbroken and
unsuspected, save by the local peasan
try! These mined the precious mineral,
each in his own way and' for his own
profit; and, as the deposits were of
varying richness, frequent jealousies
and bickerings were the result.
One of the favorite plans for keep

pieces of old leather on a burning
brazier, causing an intolerable stench.
One day, more than a century ago, the
fire extended to the coal, and lt has
never ceased burning. The summit of
the smouldering mass is decupled by a
genuine crater, where the imprisoned
gases generated by the conflagration
forced their way out, and round the

How British Cavalry Missed Boer Cannon.
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

Mow She Knew.
Speaking of kindergartens for color
ed children calls to mind the experi
ence of a "befo' de wah" matron who
was teaching one of the little darkles
on her plantation how to spell.
The primer she used was a pictorial
one, and over each word was its ac
companying picture, and Polly glibly
spelled o-x, ox, and b-o-x, box, etc.
But the teacher thought she was mak
ing right rapid progress, so she put
her hand over the nicture and said:
"Polly, what doe u-x spell?"
"Ox," said Polly, nimbly.
"How do you know that it spells ox,
Polly?"
"Seed his tail," replied the apt Polly.

Counting the Cost. . ,
HEB j a fair one fails to take ra the
whol^ situation, when summer finery
is under consider?tiqti. Especially is
this the case with th?' giri who Jives
in a home sufficient Size to boast
a laundry; this maiden in one case
wen{ away with a dozen or so new
wash! dresses, but has already written
home that she must tithe? have her
allowance tripled or return ?i brice*.
She was simply petrified wh'?n ih?
bill for the first week's immense bas
ketful of deliciously clean things wa's:
presented.
As we all know, necessary linens,
outside finishes in addition to the long
list of underwear, mounts up by it
self. Add to this a lot of elaborate
dresses and you can guess the result
These points must all be considered
by the girl on limited pin money. She
m?'?rt think twiee when selecting wash
dresses, since laundresses must
charge according to time consumed.
Intricate braidings, ?nd many other
trimmings means just so much more
cost every week. Tuckings SH the
blas, applied trimmings which are on
ly sewed down along one edge, all
swell the laundry bill, as do plaltings
or too many ruffles.
One girl has gotten round this by
having rather plain, but perfectly cut
muslin and chambray dresses. They
are "done up"' at a moderate cost,
since she herself att?nds td the pretty
neck ??nd wrist fixings, fis' well as the
dainty yokes which', w?t??? elaborate,
are not made in with th'?' dress1.
Guimpes of lace, and of elaborate?
tucking and insertion are usually
separate anyway, and the fine ones
go to the cleaner when soiled.
So, while the summer girl may not be
able to live up to never-put-on-any
garment-a-second-tlme standard, she
may be decently clean at a moderate
outlay If she expends gray matter as
well as cash.-Philadelphia Record.

Tiger Killing From a Train.
Writing from Ootsi, a correspondent
of the Buluwayo Chronicle states:
"As No. 1 train was going Its usual
patrol to Lobatsi, a tiger ran across
the line, and It was noticed that it had
a tr?p on Its foot The train was
stopped, and several r*. us jumped off
and followed the spi.or. Eventually
we came up to the tiger lying on the
grass. He gave a growl and then got
up to run away, but one of the men
Bell, a son of the R. M., who is a
trooper on the 'rain-fired at and killed
the beast. The tiger gave a big roar
before he died. The body was carrig
back to the train in triumph."-Lon
