St?l fie Caught Custoaers. 'A well known portrait painter was Hot always the receiver of such hand some honorariums as are now paid him for his portraits. Time was, says Tit-Bits, when ho lived lu a common ?lodging house near the Pantheon at an altitude of no less than seven ?tQrlcs., Necessity is the mother of in vention, but how to induce a discrim inating public to climb seven pair of stairs? He put up a placard in the basement of the house, "Portraits taken here. Only ten francs. Studio on the third .floor." When the would be purchaser had arrived at the studio designated he found himself confronted by a placard, "Ten franc portraits. The studio has been removed to the fifth floor." After intieh puffing and panting the fifth floor was reached, where a new bill met the inquiring eye, "The ten franc portraits. The studio has, ow ing to rebuilding of the premises, been temporarily removed to the sev enth floor." Having suffered so much the victim did no* mind suffering once more, and the aspiring artist got another cus tomer. The Chincso Situation.

"One of the prettiest occupations In ?he world for a woman nowadays," said the representative of a well cnown art publishing bouse, "Is the rinding of books. Of course, one nust have considerable artistic taste n order to acquire the craft, "but ar :istlc taste is not so rare at present, iud there are scores of girls wearing heir lives away as clerk3 and teach es who would become skilled binders vith little difficulty.

Some of the less usual are found in the south, where it would be hardly expected, and in the west, where all things arc possible. Shreveport. La., has a wom an as;- clerk of the police court. Mrs. Durriuger receives the same salary as the men who have held the place, and as she .has. held it many years it may be assumed that she deserves it. An other Shreveport business woman ls Miss Delia H. Jacobs, who holds the post' of i assistant secretary, of a build ing- association, and personally man ages most .of the clerical and business affairs of the'company, which is large and'wealthy. Miss- Rosa Kelly is secretary of a cotton inhTcouiprrny, and fills her office with as much ability as any man could. Chicago rises to present a woman as president and general man ager of a-large brass and copper works. Outing Gowns. There are for the autumn some good gowns being turned out in cheviots, covert-cloths and the double-faced cloths. . There is not a great deal of j difference noticeable since last spring in the cut of the skirts; some have the double box-plent, others the invert ed box-pleat, and there are some with au almost plain habit back. The new est have one box-pleat, stitched flat to the skirt Itself with rows of ma chine-stitching that form a point to wards the belt. This is supposed to be more becoming than the straight lines of stitching. Another model has three small box-pleats that are shaped to be quite small at the belt, and are stitched flat on either side for a short distance below the belt, and If the cloth be heavy lt is cut away under thc pleats. The*jackets are tight-fit ting, rather short, and made like the old-fashioned dress waist with a round basque at the back, and opened at the throat with small revers and turned down collar.-Harper's Bazar. At the Bauble Shop. Huge turquoises of clear pale blue or of greenish-blue, streaked with cop pery veins, are set In dull gold, and make handsome and striking orna ments. The conventional turquoise, surrounded with diamonds, has been done to death, and is no longer be loved of the smartly dressed women. Among pretty novelties in brooches are rosettes of diamonds, with a pearl lb the centre. Two of these rosettes are united by chains of pearls and gold wire, and make a most adaptable sort of brooch. Pearls and diamonds will lead this season. Even the craze for emeralds and the revived furore for coral seems to have given way to the colorless stones in vogue. Etruscan de signs for pendants and charms are. the greatest favorites, but diamond serpents, lizards, birds, lucky beans, shamrocks, cats playing with pearl balls, flying foxes, terriers and wish bones are fanciful favorites. Enamel brooches, circular shamrock and heart shapes, are bordered with pearls and bear a diamond device on the surface. Bows with pendant ends in diamonds and pearls are pretty and novel. ' Her Own Manicure. A girl whose nails are noticeably well kept explained to a group of com panions "the other day that she was her own manicure, and that her im plements were few and not at all the expensive or showy outfit that most persons-particularly dealers and man icures-consider necessary. "To begin "with," slie said, "I never use nail scissors, not even cuticle-scissors or knives, but nail-clippers. These never produce,r hangnails, while scissors or knives^bay. My manicuring box holds some boards, a stick of orange wood sharpened to a thin broad point, a piece of pumice stone, half of a fresh lemon, a jar of amandine, a tiny jar .of rose paste, although a box of pow der with a polisher, or a blt of cha mois ' unmounted will do as well. Once a week I 'do' my hands thorough ly, and with a trifling daily care they are well kept. The pumice stone re moves ink and other stains; the lem on is.the only bleach needed, and ls better than any other, a? it will not thicken the nails as most of the pre pared bleaches made from mineral acids will. For the weekly care of my nails I soak my fingers a few minutes In tepid, soapy water, trim the nails with the clippers, using the emery board to shape them. I clean them oniy with the orange wood stick, never with a steel cleaner or anything rough, keep the cuticle pushed down, and finally smear with the least blt of rose paste and polish with the powder and a polisher or piece of chamois. The amandine ls to nourish and heal the nails, and, I use that occasionally at uight."-Detroit Free Press. Fans In Miniature. The. newest fan is a revival of the old-time Watteau model, and Is very small, says the London Daily Mail. The designs painted on satin, silk, gauze and lace are among the more expensive, but even those on the cheaper fans are often exquisite. The fan has the scene with the figures and flower gardens, green trees and tint ed skies painted on its face, and the clouds, trees and greensward repro duced on tho back, only omitting the figures and flower beds. Th?n there is another model, a tiny W.atteau medallion set in the midst of ijhost exquisite sprays of mignonette, clusters of violets, with here and there a daintily colored butterfly or a be spangled bird. An Empire fan is shown of black, red, wnire or dark green gauze, with lace figures and de signs over it, outlined with tluy span S'v-, ;7.'".?z!2 "?teh the reflection of the lights and throw ou-, ISlZzZ^T* ra?s as the fan is waved to and fro. Most costly of all ?are the weblike affairs of Honiton, with a plain me dallion in the centre, upon which is exquisitely painted a. Watteau scene. The roses on the bushes are so in finitesimal as to resemble pin points, and yet they look natural enough to pluCiv. The gowns of the ladies are of the richest satins and brocades, the sky tints are truer to nature than in many a larger painting, and the dash of pretty coloring in the centre of the flimsy, web-like lace pattern makes the fan perfection. The newest fans are mounted on mother -of-pearl, amber, bone and wood en sticks. The pearl, amber and bone sticks are beautifully carved and out lined with gold, and the wooden sticks continue the violet, heliotrope and for get-me-not designs of the fan. Italy's New Qncen Is Sinlleles*. It is said that Oueen Helene of Italy has not yet learned to smile. She is beautiful, but cold. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette furnishes the following Information about her: "Of shooting, the queen is past mis tress. In a land where every one shoots, where it is said the children, boys and girls, are born with rifles in their hands against the Turks, she is considered an exceptional shot. Her father. Prince Nicola, is intensely proud of lier achievements, and says he would willingly let her shoot an apple off his head'if she could only be induced to try. 'It is much easier for Helene to hit than to miss,' he says; 'it is instinct that she sees straight;' mid that straight regard is one of D?t characteristics in intercourse with peo ple. No wavering, no roundabout ways; she looks you straight in-the eye, addresses you a simple question, and expects, and usually receives, a direct answer. She employs, perhaps, less of the suavity usual in courts, and is rather terrible to moral backsliders, but she is honest, and, perhaps better, good. My cwn opinion is that she will not be very popular at first with thc nation ut largo. "She is handsome, but not of a beauty to appeal particularly to Ital ians. Tall and graceful, with a small head, she lias a "Complexion almost yellow in its sallowness, with large eyes, round rather than loug, and of an exceptional beauty of expression. But she lacks graciousness of manner, her serious face, as she drives through the streets, certainly not adding to her popularity. "Her position for some time .will be of exceptional difficulty, taking, as she docs, the place of Queen Margherita, who smiles on tho people as though slie were delighted with them, and is ever accessible to '?he calls of mercy. Queen Helene is so, too, I am sure, but she has yet to prove it. The entire dress of velvet the prom ised greatest novelty. Long plume effects in fancy feathers, long breasts in Amazon style, quills and wings used for hat trimming for' fall wear. Violet-cloth blouses, fastened with crystal huttons, have collars, revers, and cuffs of silver-fox, chinchilla, or very dark mink fur. The bell flare model made with five or seven gores, sometimes with a single or double-breasted flounce, the popular coming skirt model. A novelty this season is phosphorized silk, so called because the surface has a phosphorescent effect, intended to suggest the glimmer of the sea. Heavy all over lace, with colored silk lining, will be used for evening and dressy waists. Tiny rhinestone ornaments in profusion will serve for decoration. A novelty is panne metalique. A special process gives a metallic sheen to the panne and it is highly effective Changeable striped and broche panne is also shown. Ostrich feathers are already showing themselves in the millinery establish ments in all colors, and they can be lound to blend with the soft shades of the handsome new cloths. The lace shoe ls if anything increas ing in popularity in these mannish shoes. There is no call for the nar row toe in any of the stores, though there has been but little change in the general run of boots. For fall wear black velvet waist coats will bi? popular. They are cut low, and fastened with large rhine stone or enamelled buttons, and, are immensely effective under the bolero of a white pique suit. It is predicted that.the painted fabric of last year will be more in evidence than ever in the coming season. Whole panels jf painted velvet gownR of painted chiffon and every painted orna mentation will bc seen. Buttons promise to be very fashion able, and handsome new designs are made of steel, gold, crystal, jet, moth er-of-pearl and paste jewels. Enamel buttons with and without jewels, gold and oxidized sliver and cameo buttons are also in vogue. Natty French jackets of covert cloth are made with loose fronts without dart seams, double-breasted, and finished with three graduated circular shoulder capes, thc roll of thc lining showing like a silk or satin piping at the extreme edge of each cape. Becunne Sbc Loved Him So. "You do not care for me!" he cried, desparingly. "You do not believe in my love!" "On thc contrary," replied the np to date girl, "I am giving you thc best possible evidence that I do." "But you refuse to marry me," he said. "And why?" was asked with the air of one who thinks she has been deeply wronged. "It is because I believe you love me and I care enough for you not to make you miserable. Nothing could be more unselfish than my action. You are poor. You could not supply roe wtth those luxuries that I crave and t*e fact that you had to deny them to me would make you unhappy. The greater your love the more wretched you would be in such circumstances, and lt is to save you from this unhap piness that I refuse you. I shall sac rifice myself by marrying some one with lots of money, but it will be for you-all for you."-Chicago Evening Post When it comes to making love two heads are better than one. . The great trouble in trying to sell what are called patent medicines is that so many claims have been made for them that people don't cr won't believe what honest makers say.

Why Tlicse Trlfly, Honest Peasmts Art Leaving the Czar's Domain. lt ls announced that a large number of Finns will come to America this year. Steamship companies bave made estimates as high as 53,000, but as there are only two and one-half million people in the grand duchy of Finland, these figures seem to be ex aggerated. It is hardly probable that one person In every fifty will emi grate. Nevertheless, it ls certain that the policy of the new Czar of Russia Is driving from his country a large number of bis most valuable subjects. TJntll Inst year, the usual number of Finnish emigrants who landed an nually in New York was under 2,000. although in the early 'SOs many more came, attracted by prospects of work on railways and in mines. Last year the number had risen to 0,420. Tho immediate cause of unrest among the Finns is the edict of a year ago, by which the Russia army con scription was introduced Into the grand duchy. The Russian navy has been successfully manned by Fin nish sailors, and the Czar has evident ly concluded these 6turdy people would make good soldiers. This is a j violent departure from what had been Russia's policy toward the Finns up I to ten years ago. The grand duchy vwas ceded to Russia by Sweden In 1809. The Czar Alexander L issued an ! edict, guaranteeing their constitutional rights "for all perpetuity." Each Czar since that time has Issued n similar edict. About ten years ago Alexander II. began steps for the Russlanization of Finland by abolishing its postal system, suspending its criminal code and introducing the Russian language Into the schools. Nicholas II. did nothing until his conscription procla mation. "Within a week 522,031 adult Finns signed a protest, which wo s carried to St. Petersburg by a delega tion of 500 men, but the Czar refused to receive them. Beside sending Russian officials throughout the grand duchy and abol ishing the Finnish flag and postage stamp, the Czar has now again inter fered in the Finnish schools, probably the best in Europe. The University nt Helslngford has 2,134 students, 285 of whom are women. There are forty four lyceums in the country, and out of a total of 458,000 children of school age, fewer than 19,000, only 4 per cent., do not receive Instruction. By imperial edict hereafter the Rus sian language is to be used exclusive ly, and about half the subjects taught hitherto are declared seditious. The Finns, who are good Lutherans, fear that in this way the religion of tho Greek Church will be thrust upon them. Their national spirit is still strong, and they deeply resent this blow at their native tongue and Insti tutions. The Finns have always been faith ful subjects of the Czar. They have never plotted against him. There was no excuse on such ground for his action. The United States has noth ing to fear from Finnish immigration. The peasants are thrifty, Industrious and upright. In this case, Russia's loss ls America's gain.-Kansas City Star. . The American Invasion of London. The suggestion in your issue of to day for providing volunteer guides for our American, colonial and country cousins on their visits to London strikes me as an admirable one. How often do we see our visitors gazing aimlessly about the streets, jostled by the crowds or standing npart nt street corners trying in vain to And out in "Baedeker" what they want Surely there are many Londoners of both sexes possessed of a competent knowl edge of the chief churches, museums and objects of interest (or who could soon obtain such knowledge) who Would be glad to devote a day or half a day now and again during the holi day season to escorting about London small parties, say of eight or ten.

SCHOOLMVAM AND LOVE Chicago Hard Put to Find Unmarried Teach* iaz Ladles. "It Is not very often that I want to swear," said the principal of a south side private, school which prepares girls for college, "but I certainly felt like lt when I opened my mall yester day morning." "Did some mother who had con tracted to send her daughter to you write at the last moment to say that she had changed her mind?" asked his friend. "No, lt was not that," answered the principal. "I'm so used to that sort of thing that it no longer causes even a frown. Two of my best teachers wrote that they would be unable to keep their contracts for the coming year, as they were going to be married in the fall." "Well, you can't blame the poor wo men for wanting to get married, can you?" "It wouldn't do any good if I could," replied the boarding-school man. "But I do say they have no right to think of such a thing. Now, both these wo men have been with me since they were graduated from a well-known woman's college. ' They told me at tho start that they intended to devote their lives to teaching, o-: I would not have taken them. For .Var years they have been most devoted to their work. They seemed perfectly contented and abso lutely devoid of sentiment. It's this summer business that does it. You never can tell what is going to happen during the summer. They went to the mountains this year, Instead of the seashore, although I advised against lt. I never could understand why men and women get to thinking of marriage as soon as they get into the mountains, but they do. If they had gone to thc seashore or to Paris they would have come back to mo more determined than ever to make teaching their life work." "Well, yoi: won't have to worry long about filling their placesfc" remarked the friend. . "There aro plenty of applicants, to be sure, but it is a hard Job to pick a teacher tha c will suit. One never knows their motives. So many girls start to teach who do not have to earn a living. They think that they should do something because their people have spent so much on their education. I That sort of girl always has some ro I manee which is just about to break ? Into a fire, and the fact that she has started to work for herself drives the young man to the point. He promptly proposes, and she tries to get out of her contract before the year Is half over."-Chicago Inter-Ocean. Von Waldersce Agilent Sixty-Eight. I think that Count Waldersee has given guarantees of being fit for the enterprise of undertaking to bring an army of troops of eight different na tions under one^helmet and conducting it to victory. Among the personal traits that adapt him especially for the difficult task of commanding international hetero geneous bodies of soldiers is a faculty for softening opposing opinions and ar bitrating between contradictory wills, a faculty which likewise came to life ns far back as 1870-71, and, further more, a diplomatic skill in the way of suggestion..

NERVES With glowing health all things are possible, small annoyances fade into lothingness and real troubles are battled with successfully. Women who art riesscd with perfect health are a constant joy o themselves and all around them. The beauty vhich health alone can make permanent is a xown which raises a woman above other vomen. Such beauty is always accompanied >y a sweet disposition, for snappishness is a iure sign of ill-health and leaves its mark mickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion for women to gnore health and sacrifice it to the little ;very-day trials, or offer it up on the altar >f devotion to daily tasks. Then again ,ho nervous organization of women is con ?tantly attacked by woman's natural ex jeriences, so that it is practically impossi jle for her to retain the beauty which ?ature gave her, unless she has discrimi iating advice and right support. Dt*a G pee ne9s for the Blood and ?Yervos. Trials and troubles are easily overcome by bhe women whose strength is the genuino strength of perfect health.

BOSSE, of 85 Farrington St., Plushing, L. I., says : "In regard to myself, I have suffered for years ivith disease, having been troubled with great ner vousness, female complaints, indigestion, and rreat weakness and prostration. I' did not aavo strength to do much of anything. Know ing the great value of health and strength [ consulted doctors and took many medi cines, but they all failed to cure rae, and I grew worse rather than better. I happened to seo in tho papers how much good Dr. Greene's Nervura, blood and nerve remedy, was doing in. restoring to health evorybody who took it, and I thought I would try o bottle. I used it and to my surprise I began to gain strength every day. I am so thankf ni that I tried itl It is certainly the most oiccllent tonic and strength 'giver.

Mr. Marcus Stone has opened up a subject which, were our silly season not. so packed with wars and rumors of wars, might well provide the public with a theme whereon to moralize in print. Talking to an interviewer for the benefit of the "Young Man," Mr. Stone declared that both in literature and art lt is easier to picture sorrow than joy. According to Mr. Stone, inuc\ of our modern realism, with its depressing morbidity and its gloomy philosophy, ls due solely to the ease wherewith it can be produced. "I have only to paint a coffiu on a trestle in an empty room," says the artist, "and I cannot help Impressing somebody." The real difficulty is to paint the bright and happy side of life, to give the world mirth and refreshment. We are inclined to agree-with Mr. Stone. The average reader of the books, at any rate, prefers the book that makes him happy, to that which closes in sorrow. In tragedy, of course, there must be sorrow, but it is not the pitiful, sor did sorrow which modern novelists affect, it ls sublime, as in "Lear." We can enjoy Lamb's mockery of Tate for putting his hook in the nostrils of "this Leviathan" for Garrick to attract playgoers with a happy ending; but we could wish, nevertheless, that modern novelists would realize their own limitations, and give mankind in place of cheap pathos and cynical philosophy, books that breathe the joy of existence, picture the cheerful side of life, and end happily.-London Globe.
