A savings bank account ls a great incentive to thrift in children. If one is begun for the baby,eveu with a very small sum, and added to through child hood and youth with a certain propor tion of the money that otherwise would be spent carelessly and thoughtlessly by the child. there will be a very respectable amount on the . credit side of the ledger when the de positor is 18 years old. The habit of self-denial is not the least of the substantial benefits that follow a wise economy of money.-Ladies' Home Journal. Mrs. Coul l Likes Antiques. Mrs. Edwin Gould is as fond of bric-a-brac and antiques as her world famed relative, the Count de Castel lane. She indicated her tastes in this regard on the occasion of a recent visit to New Orleans during the mardi gras festivities. New Orleans is the mecca for rich southerners who are on the outlook . for old-time furniture. The French people have many valuable articles -dating back to the pre-Napoleon pe riod, and with proper patience some rare pieces can be got in the old creole town. lt did not take long for Mrs. Gould to appreciate this opportunity, and she spent much of ?fier time shopping. These articles were ordered to be shipped to Jekyl island, on the coast of Georgia, where Mrs. Edwin Gould has a cottage. The furnishings will suit the Jekyl island atmosphere which hovers over the crumbling man sions of the Georgia colonial aristoc racy. The Knfflo? of Spring. It would seem that the ruffle is not to be banished from our regard, for many new models are being devised of chiffon and flowers, while the ruffle of ostrich feathers, tied round the neck with a scarf of old lace and fas tened with a black velvet chou, is also a candiadte for public favor. Ruffles seem now indispensable adjuncts to the mousseline or foulard gown, but are comparatively unnecessary with the tailor-made dresses, especially if these bear the Napoleon collar, when, Indeed, they are an intrusion. . Some attractive ruffles are made of glace bordered with gold, and then again there are ruffles made of huge frills of black lace with an inner ruf fling of tulle? and the lace wanders down to the hem of the skirt, sewn on to a band of black velvet ribbon. There are Tuffies of white lace and ruffles of black lace; and lace con tinues to be the supreme idol of the moment-New York Commercial Ad vertiser. Flattery from the Mirror. Does your mirror do you justice? You may think not Or perhaps you" would like it to flatter you just a lit If so. you can arrange it so the glass will reflect in a more complimen tary manner than usual. If you do, you only have to know the milliner's oid??t secret, and the thing is done. Did you ever notice the softest dra pery of pure white hung about a mir ror? That is the trick. After your mirror of faultless' glass is thoroughly polished, frame it in pure white gauze, with the material gathered in the cen tre fit the top and falling wavelike on either side. Then notice tho effect The true tints of he complexion will be there-a little emphasized. The ex pression of tho countenance, the light of the" eye, thc color of the hair will be accurately reflected, all softened and made more harmonious than your mir ror showed them before the gauze was used. You may believe that that sub tle bit of white material makes the glass tell nearer the truth than it did without it-New York Herald. Chinese Women. It is strange, says Harper's Weekly, that In a country where the ties of family are so strong and where so much attention ls given to the preser vation of the family name, women should be so looked down upon aa they are. in China. The reason for this, however, is to be found in the system of ancestral worship and the patriarchal gathering together of fam ilies. From the time of her bethrothal a Chinese girl belong.? to the family of her prospective husband, and often when her own family is poor or feels ' unable to afford keeping her until she reaches a marriagable age she is sent even while a mere child to her hus band's family to be raised by them. ren when she stays at home she wor ships not the tablets of her own an cestors, but those of her husband's; so she is useless to the family into which she ls born, so far as the ob servance of the ancestral rites is con cerned. This is the reason why a Chinaman, on being asked the number of his children, answers only with the num ber of his sons and never counts in hts girls. This, too, is the reason why, as a rule, Chinese girls are not educat ed. Since she is to belong to another family, the parents do not bother about her. Care of the E?e*. Nothing counts for so much in the beauty of a face as the eyes. Charac ter is indicated by other features, but beauty is found in a face with every other feature ordinary if the eyes are good; and the eyes, as far as the ex pression goes, ar* what we make them. If they are not trained to express ten derness, gentleness, vivacity, reserve, interest and the various other emo tions a source of greaj; power has been wantonly neglected. The physical beauty of the eye de pends upon its size and shape rather than upon the color, and these attri butes one cannot alter. Late hours, late work and reading have a-serious influence upon eyes that are naturally Inclined to be weak. If it is necessary to work or study at night the eyes should be protected from overstrain as far as possible by properly fitting glasses. Eyes are saved from much strain at night by the use of a student's lamp, and dur-' ing the day by having the light reach one from above the head or over the shoulders. Women are sometimes tempted to use belladonna or cologne to give bril liancy- to their eyes, and while these drugs may enlarge the pupils for a time without causing perceptible harm they do irreparable injury nevethe less, and not unfrequently impaired vision and blindness have been traced to such source.-American Queen. First Women Physicians. Russia has long prided herself on having the flr^t v/omen physicians. Marya Bokoff. Nadezhda Susloff and others were pioneers, not only in their own studies, but also in opening up medical instruction to their country women. The career of Nadezhda Sus loff, one of the earliest and best wom en doctors, is particularly interesting. Born a serf, and freed with her par ents, at the emancipation in 18G1, she and her brothers and sisters received the best possible educatioa at homo and abroad, for her parents were both extremely intelligent, and her father acquired wealth after gaining his free dom. Everywhere, in Russia and in the continental schools, Nadezhda was brilliantly successful. For 30 years there has been no man ner of doubt as to the sympathy of the public and thc medical world with the idea of thorough medical instruc tion for women. Men started the movement. In 1870 one professor and two other men undertook to establish courses for instructing women in mid wifery, two graded nurses being pro vided. Mme. Dodssvenny, now Mme. Shanvawsky, gave 50.000 rubles for higher medical courses, and the min ister of war arranged to have them opened in connection with the military medical academy, in 1872. They gave full instruction, in contrast with the initial experiment where the course was partial because it was felt that a woman should not be allowed to deal with one vitality important branch of practise unless she were very thoroughly equipped. These higher courses lasted for 10 years, and during that period had 959 students, the majority coming from the "Privi leged classes." that is to say, not peasants. In 1877 24 students were sent to the seat of war, during the Russo-Turkish campaign, and did so well that they received imperial per mission to call themselves (after due examination) "women physicians," and to wear a badge.-The Chautau quan. Hungry Women In Hospital?. ' It is a curious thing that hospital nurses should be ill fed, but they often are, and in many institutions. This is not intended for an accusation, but merely an inquiry into a state of things which many people who know about the workings of hospitals, most especially nurses in training, will echo, asking. Why? Possibly the reason that insufficient and unhy gienic food is too often the rule may be looked for in the fact that formerly sisters looking for hardships were the only ones who gave themselves over to these tasks cf mercy. Fasting was part of the business of women who nursed the sick in th? old days, and possibly the notion uncon sciously that fasting is a good thing for women who bend over beds of pain. Whittier expressed this notion in thc poem o* the "Angels of Buena Vista," the "noble Mexican women" went about on the field of battle after the fight, "worn and faint and lacking food." It is poetic, romantic, in the old fashioned way, but it is not a blt mod ern, sustaining or comfortable. A hungry woman as an angel of mercy is not considered a scientific, or even a practicable-adjunct of a modern bat tlefield. When th? Cuban war began the surgeon-general of. the army warned the untrained horde of women, moved by sentiment or emotion, who wanted to go to Cuba as nurses to stay away. Only Clara Barton's mod ern sort of angels of mercy who knew enough to keep themselves nourished on short but wholesome rations with out making a fuss about it were al lowed service, and these were in the disciplinary service of the Red Cross. System is thc very open secret of the success of that organization; hospit als in times of peace and in cities arc of course run on system also, but it is a system that lacks organization on the food question. It is really queer that nurses in training, of all people, should not be fully and properly nourished, if for no other reason than to give them ob ject lessons in hygienics. To be hun gary all of the time that she finds herself obliged to recruit her forces by pieces of food left upon the pa tients' trays of extra-nourishing viands is not good discipline, physical or men tal, for the girls of today who are studying in hospitals are of the most useful of the modern professions for women.-New York Mail and Express. foRVeivdN'': BENEFIT Most of thc linen frocks have gored skirts with shaped flounces. There is a chemisette of tucked white batiste. Equestrienne and automobile gloves come with deep, stiff gauntlets. The newest foulards are those with borders, and they are very charm.1 "g. There is a yellow linen frock which Is trimmed with narrow white silk bands. Some of the early models for linen gowns show that there will be a pro fusion of small pearl buttons used in trimming. A pretty effect in foulard gowns is given in an attractive silk with a black lace trimmings. The result is excellent. There is a bit of blue at 'the neck to give a light touch to the gown. A beautiful tea gown of pink crepe de chine is a mass of plaits from the yoke or guimpe over which falls a deep collar of embroidered silk to the foot of the gown, where there is a ruffle of graduated width in the silk also embroidered. In some of the pique gowns one sees a shaped flounce pointed up wide on thc side, so that it has something of the effect of two deep scallops; then, again, the flounce rounds up in a deep scallop at each side, giving quite a different appearance. Turquoise blue and green make a more charming combination than would be imagined. A shirred tulle hat of the mushroom variety is raised off the face by soft choux of white flambeau silk, while the edge of the hat is out lined with a wreath of dainty green leaves. A most stylish tea gown is of dotted black silk muslin, the dots half the size of a penny and set at wide inter vals. There ia a bolero of black lace with stock and a guimpe effect of stripes made with insertions of la^e. The sleeves to this very stylish gown reach to the wrist. The whole thing is made over white silk. f. \\m BO? IS A WONDER A PENN' YLVANIA LAD WHO IS AS REMARKABLE AS HELEN KELLAR. Wl?en Five Year? Old Ho Hnd No Mora IntelllROni:o TIIHII a Uood-Nntnred 1'uo pv_llo\r lil* lirowny Little Brain Was Awakened-lit Active ami Seir-Itolinnt. The fame of Helen Kellar has to an extent overshadowed that of Tommy Stringer, although in his way the lit tle Pennsylvaaia boy is quite as inter esting and quite as remarkable as the little southern girl. Just a year before the kindergarten for the blind was opened in Boston, on the 3d of July, 1886, Tommy was horn near Wayncsbury, Penn. He was like any other hca'.thy, happy baby in his first few months. But soon after the death of his mother he had an attack of spinal meningitis, and on his re covery, when he was hardly 2 years old, he was found both blind and deaf. His father was a workingman with small -means, and he felt absolutely powerless to help his afflicted little hoy. After a time the blind and deaf child was taken to the Alleghany hos pital. He was a healthy little ani mal, apparently, with no more intelli gence than a good natured puppy. In this condition he was finally brought to the kindergarten for the blind in thc spring of 1891. Here he was at once put in the care of a special teacher, whose duty it was to give all her time to him. Although it seemed ?n almost hopeless task, an effort was to be made to rescue him from the prison into which his deaf ness and blindness had thro,wn him. He had never yet walked upright. In spite of his 5 years he crawled along, pushing his way with his hands and feet, and he always moved backward to save his head from coming in con tact with unexpected obstacles. The only sound he ever made was a piti ful moan, which sounded the same whether he meant it to express pleas ure or pain. At times, when he felt especially disturbed, he would scream loudly and would strike out with his hands and tear his clothes. Before any effort could be made to reach Tommy's mind his body had to be put in order. Exercises were given to develop his flabby muscles and build up tissues. At last the ef forts were rewarded. He could move about unassisted, could feed himself and even dress and undress himself. Unlike Helen Kellar or Laura Bridg man, Tommy seemed very dull and apathetic. He was unwilling to make , any effort for himself, and his teach ers often feared that in the end they must give up the attempt to reach his mind. Many, many months passed before the drowsy little brain grasped the fact that things have names, and that these names may be represented by the letters of the alphabet made on the fingers. But at length, by constant repetition, by infinite love and pa tience, the first section of the bridge was built. Tommy began to realize the outer world. He walked over the bridge, and began to take an interest. Soon he was one of the brightest children in the kindergarten. He un derwent systematic training at the ba sis of which was Froebel's principles of "natural development." Today, at 14 years of age, Tommy compares fa vorably with other boys of his years. He is tall, straight and- strong. He has a well-shaped head and his ex pression ia bright and cheerful. His mind is full of information, and he is constantly asking for "more, more" . knowledge. But he is not a mere lover of books. He is active and self-reliant He can use his hands to better advantage than most boys who can see and hear. - A year ago last summer, for exam ple, Mrs. Quincy Shaw (Agassiz* daughter) gave Tommy a sloyd bench fitted with all the necessary tools. Tommy was already fairly expert In sloyd. because instruction in manual training had been an important part of his education. But when he learned that thc bench was to be sent to Wrentham, where he was to spend the summer, he immediately said: "Jiow 1 shall take all the care of Mr. Brown's house." Consequently even on the hottest days, he was to be found ai, his hench. He replaced worn door sills with new, made a new barnyard gate. He replaced loose boards in the flooriug of the porch, made a hand railing for persons going up and down thc steps. An old smokehouse which was given him as his especial domain he improved wonderfully. He took out the sliding windows, made new frame on them and swung them cn hinges. Then he put strong bars across them to prevent the cows breaking the glass with their horns. He invented a clever device for open ing and shutting another window. He put up shelves for holding tools and other things connected with his work. He repaired a stone wall near th? smokehouse,. and in other ways im proved its surroundings. He is a busy, energetic hoy, and generally makes his own rlans for wrk, nnd the plans that he has made he always carries out. Before starting for home in the summer he cleaned his tools very care fully, packed in boxes all his cher ished bits of metal, nails, screws and similar things, as well as the bench itself. He examined the premises carefully to make sure that he had left nothing behind, and, in short, shewed himself more practical and business like than the average boy with sight would have been. In thc autumn of 1899, when Tommy was entering for his 14th year, he was placed in one of the public grammar schools near the kindergarten. In spite of his disability it was found that he was then almost on a level with boys of his own age. He started in the sixth grade, and he has more than held his own ever since. His teacher and interpreter, Miss Helen S. Conley, of course goes with him, and through her he holds his own with his class. His grammar school work ha3 increased his self-reliance, and he has been very anxious to keep up with the other boys. They on their part are very considerate of Tommy. They in vite him to enter into all their games and sports, and they find him a very good comrade. The year before last he had a trip to Washington, and although not then 13, he showed the liveliest interest In everything at the capital. He had a deHihtful interview with the presi dent and immediately accepted the in vitation of the latter to visit the White House. Tommy eagerly inspected ev ery room, carefully examining all the fittings and furnishings, and at last announced "the. blue room is tho pret tiest." He had come to this decision undoubtedly on account of the silk hangings on thc wa'ls. On the way to Washington he had visited Philadel phia and had thoroughly enjoyed a vJr'f to th? mint. Without any dogmatic teachlrw? Tommy has discovered th# existence jf a suprera? God. For example. "The world is very large. Men made houses and ships, but men cannot make land. Who made the land?" was ^ugaeslion that came naturally from him, and as his inquiries are answered he is grad ually shaping a creed for himself. Mr. ?nagnos says that as far as the achievement of results is concerned, Tommy's record surpasses that bf all other persons in his condition.. That is, he is not second to Laura Bridg man, helen Kellar or Willie Robin. Instead of a helpless idiot, a deformed Caliban, as he might have been, he is a bright, intelligent boy, with a face full of expression. With .his bent toward science and his zeal for in vestigating, he may some time make his mark in the world. Tommy's education is naturally ex pensive, since the time of one per son must be given entirely to him. The $700 of the past year was con tributed by 50 individuals and organ izations in different parts of the coun try. Kindergartens in various day and Sabbath schools have been among the contributors," and many little children are regularly saving their spare pen nies to send to Tommy Stringer. A movement has begun to establish a permanent fund for Tommy, similar to that which was raised for Helen Kellar, for if he continues to develop as rapidly as in the past, he will cer tainly be able to return to the world a greater part of all that has been showered on him. He is interested in electricity, and asks extremely intelli gent questions about its practical ap plication. His first ride in an: automo bile was an event in his life, and thc gift of a companion bicycle by a lib eral friend led him to devise a kind of wooden bicycle which he called a "foot car." But above all Tommy's cleverness id his affectionate disposition, which makes him fully appreciate- all that has been done to bring him out of darkness.-H. L. R., in Chicago Times Herald. UNCLE SAM'S SPOTTERS. Especially tho Man in Europe Who Look? Out Tor S m ii cgi ei?. "Uncle Sam's large and well-organ ized secret service ls made up mostly of men who come properly under the head of detectives with police powers, but it has its class of bona fide spot ters, whose entire duty it is to ingra tiate themselves with persons suspect ed of having designs .to evade? the custom house duties and towarn the baggage inspectors at this end of the impending swindle. In cleverness.' ad dress and adaptability the secret ser vice spotter is easily at the head of his profession, and even ranks with the trained experts of the|-European diplomatic corps. It is essential that he should be a man of thejworld, for he must associate with al j kinds of people on equal terms. He has no fixed abode, but lives in various Euro pean capitals when he is not on ship board, where he is much of|the time. He must never let himself 3?e 'in the slightest degree suspected. 'jjThere is. always a number of these pgents in Paris, because of the great ?american trade there. They live at th?'ifashlon able hotels and live the life, apparent ly, of flaneurs and boulevardlers. In all lines of trade that concern ..duti able goods they are experts, and no large purchase by' an American in Paris is unknown to them. Their!cir cle of acquaintance is enormous.; but nobody knows them for whattheylare. In one way or another they contrive to make the acquaintance of any per son whom they suspect,, and unosten tatiously but unremittingly trail him. Many a time some mah-who has mf.de a heavy purchase of diamonds or laces and so disposed then **iat \h?' felt sure of being able Ju. hck . v atti through the port undiscovered Aas been passed on the dock by a cha ce acquaintance of the voyage over v!.\o, unseen, presses a little note into the hand of the customs inspector. . That note tells all that the wily smuggler would wish to keep secret, and his baggage is mercilessly ransacked until the hidden articles are brought to light. He has been followed over by the spotter. Men employed in this line get good pay-as high'as* $10 a day-but it costs them much tojlire in the manner in which they mustVinain tain themselves. <: "Suspicious as It is of swindle!" from without, the government is moratrust ful of the employes in its financial centre than in any private* corpora tion. In the U. S. treasury the "whole output of the nation's currency Is handled by men who are under neither surveillance nor bond. The.paying teller handle 40 or 50 millions a year. The exchange clerk- has every day $00,000 in change at hand. The money in charge of the keeper of the cash room runs from $170,000,000 upward, and the chief of the issue division, who is a negro, handles millionB every day. Any of these men could; get away with enormous amounts of money and bo reasonably 'secure against detection for a considerable length of time. Nevertheless, pecula tions from the treasury have been few and small in amount, during its his tory. There is an axiom in the de partment which runs as follows: '"Wherever money is handledvthere is a point which the honesty of the individual must be the main reliance.' "And so the treasury dispens?s with the services of spotters. However, private business interests involving the handling of large sums of money are not likely to follow this example. Spotters may be an evil, but they are a necessity in the present phase of human development, and until some psychological chemist devises a prepa ration to make men honest. thOrtype is likely to persist."-S. H. Adams, in Ainslee's. Cut's Fondness for a Itnbblt. The tiniest of rabbits wandered Into the yard of a Denver woman the other day, and when the family cat. a not able fighter, bore down upon the lit tle bunch of fur the onlookers expect ed to see it torn to pieces. No so, however; Thomas looked it over, smelled It over, licked it over, and then led it to a snug retreat behind the kitchen stove. According to the cat's mistress, he taught the little creature to drink milk and even eat meat, and the two became insepar able. But bunnie was evidently killed by kindness, for he sickened and died, since which time Thomas has been despondent and has Bhown little interest in his food. Work A moni; Moiintnin White*.

There lived in his neighborhood a poor woman who had rented one of the summer cot tages which she was able to hire at a low sum for the winter because no one else would' take it. She lived in only a few rooms of the house, the kitchen and a little room out of it, a dining room, where she had a small smoky stove which had gradually darkened the walls to a cloudy gray. Everything about the house was of the simpdest, even of the poorest, and the kind-hearted shoe maker felt sorry for thc poor woman who lived in this uncomfortable fashion. She brought him a shoe to mend on? day. He did the work in his best fash ion, and when she came for it refused the money. "It is nothing, madam," he said, cheer fully. "I was glad to do it." The wo man thanked him and left. "Why did'nt you charge her?" asked an astonished witness of the scene. "She is such a poor woman I didn't like'to," answered the shoemaker, apolo getically. "Poor !" cried the spectator. "She is the richest woman in this country. That was Hetty Grern."-Nczv York Times. Flammarion on tho Inhabitants of Mars. "As for me," says M. Flammarion, speaking of the inhabitants cf Mars in The National Magazine, "I rather envy them. A world where it is always beau tiful, where there are neither tempests nor cyclones, where the years are twice as long as ours, where thc kilogram is of 3/6 grams, and where, therefore, men and women who here weigh 70 kilos there weigh only 26, and where, in a word, everything is lighter, more deli cate and more refined." And in another place he goes further, pointing out that if the Martians wished to communicate with us they would doubtless have made the effort many times in the past and probably long ago nbnndoncd it, decid ing it a hopeless business to attempt communication with a planet so stupid. ?
