t- Health the Best Cosmetic. ' Everybody should be beautiful now. judgment from the elaborate advice j given in ladies' papers, writes Lady Violet Greville in London Graphic, ?yet the most beautiful complexions jand the greatest youthfulness of skin ;cnd appearance I have seen were in lladles who had never used cosmetics or anything stronger than distilled ?water, cold cream and perhaps milk of roses or elder-flower water. Health is the best cosmetic, and fresh air the most excellent panacea. Above all, let us avoid being raddled with red and smeared with white like the eighteenth century belles. Apropos or Clothes. A Japanese woman of rank has come to America to study dress reform. It is rather odd that women in the Far East should wish to copy our modes, just as the Western women are com !ing to the conclusion that the Japan ese have solved the problem of truly artistic and comfortable female habili .ments. It is a pity for the almond eyed beauties of the Flowery Kingdom to vulgarize themselves by wearing ?Parisian clothes Can no one stop the sacrilege, for sacrilege it really seems to be, by convincing the court women !of Japan that they would make the ; mistake of their lives if they should allow their beautiful and picturesque national cosuime to go out of exist ence?-New York Tribune. j Correct fiza ft?r Women's Stocking*. ! "I notice that the hosiery sales 'wemen of Washington have a system ;cf measurement which I do not re member ever to have seen elsewhere," tsaid the woman from che West. ''I .went into ene of your largest' shops Jone day recently to buy something fletching in embroidered blue lisle jthread. Of course, the saleswoman ! asked me what size I wanted, and I ?didn't know, but I wanted something ?that wouldn't bag at the ankle. Thc ?saleswoman asked me to hold out my ?rioubled-up fist. Then she took thc ; stocking and measured the length j of the foot around my fist. Heel and ?toe came together and lapped over. I " 'That pair is a half size too large,' ?said the saleswoman. 'This,' and she 'took up a stocking with a foot just ?long enough to encircle my hand, 'this (is your size.' "-Washington Post. v The Vflmlowt? of Her Foul. ' A famous beauty specialist recom ?mends those among her patients who ?suffer from styes and other weak inesses of the eyelids, like red rims, ?to bathe them with a solution of sea salt and water. Zinc ointment, she i has repeatedly noticed, acts like a ?charm when the eyelashes have (dropped out as a result of weakness __ of the eyes, bringing them into full ^'aircFruxuriant growth again, but it is ?not the least good for a woman whose leyelashes are normal to use it in the (hope of improving them. Eytorows ?she accentuates by first of all combing them the wrong way up, and then by ?brushing them back to lie smoothly 'and in a symmetrical curve, and she j says that ^the systematic pursuit of ?this plan, with the daily usc of almond ?oil for scanty brows and eau de col ogne for ragged and untidy .ones, is 'a wonderful producer' of permanent .{prettiness. Th? Alsatian ['.raicl I?OW. A recent and worthy invention for the retaining of the hair when done up in braids is called the "Alsatian Braid Bow." This is a clever little arrange ment through which a bow of ribbon ?is passed in such manner that there is no necessity for the ribbon being (wound around the hair. i . lt is a well-known fact that when ?you tie the ribbon around the hair lonee it is mussed up, so when you tcome to tie it the second time it ap pears much like a wet string. With ;but a quarter of a yard of ribbon it is .possible with this new invention to make a bow which requires neither tying nor sewing and can be used for an indefinite time. The young girl who is always uc-ing ihair ribbons will appreciate another evaluable characteristic of this new ?braid bow, which is, that it is impos sible for the ribbon to become untied 'from the hair without being manipu lated by the fingers. The ribbon can be changed instantly, and attached to the hair in a minute. Hints for Home Dressmaking. Without much labor or expense Iready-made skirts, elaborately tucked and intersected wuh guipure or Olen con insertion lace, with sufficient ma terial for the bodice, may be obtained at reasonable prices in an endless variety of d?signs suitable for fash ionable promenade or evening wear, and only need a small amount of ex perience to put together, as nearly all the newest designs in gowns of this description have the lining foundation of silk or sateen made separate, the color of which may be varied from time to time. Bought skirts of this kind are, as a rule, somewhat full round the hem, so that the silk foundation will have to be in seven breadths-this is, a front, two side pieces each side and two backs, and, whatever the length of front may be, the center of back seam must measure five inches longer, or if it is to be of cotton six widths will be sufficient. And should the ready-made skirt be too.short narrow frills of lace or glace silk might be sewed on to the sep erate foundation.-Washington Star. Hand Work Everywhere. ! It Is astonishing what a quantity of hand work one sees on street clothes nowadays. Everywhere one comes across bits of the most elaborate em broidery, in vests, cuffs and collars, black being introduced with deep reds, blues and yellows with superbly decorative result. Sometimes the em broidery is in the Russian cross-slitch, with the rich tan of the coarse canvas upon which it is worked showing at ? tervals. This, in red and black, is very chic on flannel . shirtwaists in solid colors, the embroidery forming collar, cuffs, button band and belt. Some very rich hand embroidery in gold and black threads appears on a bolero which is copied from a late French gown. This costume is as as tounding as it is effective in the com bination of its materials. A skirt and sleeves of bright red frieze are min utely checked with narrow lines in black; the novel jacket is red cloth, while the under bodice and lower sleeves are no less than a black jersey in spun silk! Where the panels of the jacket lap, back and front, are placed small gilt buttons in rows of three. The stock, belt and elbow puffs are of the tinsel embroidery on the red cloth, and the flounces and odd tablier of the skirt are outlined by a stitched band in plain red. Helen Kfllnr on a Warship. Helen Keller spent her sunimei va cation in Halifax, and when the In diana visited that Canadian city Miss Keller was invited to go on board. Lieutenant James J. Raby did the honors of the day. In a letter which sqeaks of that visit he writes: "It was an honor to show Miss Keiler over the Indiana, and the very happiest incident of the cruise for me. Her delight at being aboard was a great pleasure to me, and more than once my eyes Ailed with tears when I looked at her beautiful face that could not return my gaze. She is a wonder ful woman, and I was astonished at her knowledge of ships and their ap pliances. When we showed her the turret she wanted to know where tho 'sighting-hood' was. I had never be fore known a woman who knew what a sighting-hood is, so that you can well imagine my surprise." When the Spanish war was in full blast Miss Keller first heard from the news papers of the "sighting-hood," and it was ever after her ambition to know for herself what it was."-Boston 'iranscript. Sweet Simplicity In If om Inf Gown?. Sweet simplicity is just now the rule for cotton morning gowns abroad and at home, and most of the little confec tions which smart dressmakers are showing have a diary maid air that is most alluring. The stamp of the frock comes chiefly through the -way in which it is worn, and of course suitable ac cessories are required to create the ensemble of undeniable elegance necessary for the woman of fashion. Nevertheless, the whole effect of one of these pretty print costumes-for even the old time calicos are seen in tnem, in designs of trellised vines and stiff, quaint roses-is one of rural charm. When a pink and green print is topped by a rough straw hat crowded with old maid roses, cherries or apple boughs, the result is refresh ingly countrified. The model of the cotton gown is unusually as simple as the material. A dimity spotted wth blue pois (ob longs) or patterned with delicate green clover leaves or pink apple blossoms, will have the full skirt tucked closely to below the knees, from where is falls full around the feet in a deep lace or footing edged flounce. The gathered bodice also re veals insets of this airy but durable trimming, set between clusters of fine i?orizonial tucks or crosses the mate rial in large diamonds or squares. It ia belted taut at the waist with rib bon, which may likewise form the stock, over which falls a turnover col lar of the net and dimity.-Chicago Record-Herald. Making Sugarplum* for a I.lvin?. A certain New York confectioner used to run a free cooking class in connection with his candy shop and catering business. The cooking class was in reality a clever way to adver tise his chocolate. The principal items of the cookery lessens were chocolate creams, chocolate cakes and chocolate to drink. Of course, all these things were evolved from the confectioner's own unsurpassed choc olate, and its name and its superiority were dinned into the ears of the pupils of the cooking class until they finally left in despair. The dissolution of the schooi followed. Nevertheless the popularity' it achieved, in spite of its limitations and drawbacks, showed Low prosperous such a school might be if properly run. In London there is a flourishing confectionery estab lishment run entirely by women, and a school for would-be confectioners, is run in connection with the ordinary business. The students meet in a bright, clean kitchen, equipped with copper saucepans, marble slabs and porcelaine pipkins. They wear big aprons and white mob-caps and their sleeves are rolled up tc thc elbows. Some of these pupils are ambitious to become managers of similar establish ments of their own. The concern in question is carried on in connection with a restaurant and tea room, and since tea rooms are often managed by women, pupils from such estab lishments are coming in increasing numbers to this confectionery school. One course, in which only two pupils can be taken at a time, includes the making of cakes, sweets, ices, book keeping and shop management. All the latest inventions of the confec tioner's art are mastered by these women as readily as they appear, for they find it necessary in this, as in every field of work, to keep abreast of the times.-New York Commercial Advertiser. Belt pins in gun metal are new and are found in a variety of designs. The newest hatpins include un usually large openwork balls, topped with a jewel. Steel studded satin, with fancy steel buckie, makes a pretty belt to wear with gray cr dark toned shirt wasts. Luminous is the descriptive term applied to a new shimmery variety of satin particularly adapted for fancy waists. An ivory cloth gown with yoke of coral passementerie seen at one of the recent exhibitions was especially ef fective. Calf skin upper, with vic! kid vamp, is an excellent combination for a street shoe. The sole is moderately extended. Irish point lace in clear white is used for some of the exquisite even ing waists that have arrived this fall from Paris. One of the smartest shirtwaists seen this fall was of coral cloth stitched in self color and fastened with email gilt buttons. On the left side was a tiny pocket. Cuff links are attractive, of curved oval, pink tinted, baroque pearls, each pearl held with four little clamps of gold. It is much prettier than a solid setting of gold. Chinchilla is to be extensively used for trimming purposes this winter, particularly with velvet. In combina tion with almond green or black velvet it makes an especially handsome gar niture. Black, white, royal blue and browa, with rings or large polka cots of white, are the preferrcu colorings in the chiffon vailings used for hat drapery. Some of the blue and brown vailings are dotted in s -If color. Bees of Fine Discrimination. Morelia has some other odd things' for example, the sweetmeat-stands un der the portales, or arcades, where friendly bees and wasps devoured the candies, and were not scared off. I asked an old woman sitting behind a large stand, loaded with candied fruit, dukes of all sorts, sugar-plums, and molasses candy: "Won't these bees sting a fellow?" "Oh, no, senor, don't be afraid ; they are muy inteligentes, and can tell a cus tomer right off !" "But would they sting a thief, for instance?" "Certainly, senor; they arc very in telligent. Poor things, they do no harm and are much company. They must live!" I watched these winged insects with all their panoply of war ready, and was fascinated. Then I asked another ques tion : "But wculd not a Morclian bee sting a Yankee?'' "Not if he were a customer, cabal lero!"-Mexican Correspondence Bos ton Herald. A QUESTION OF NEED. "What have yeti done witli all the money I gave you for campaign pur poses?" asked Senator Sorghum . "I Have put it where it was needed," answered thc agent. "That's what I thought," was the disconsolate answer. "Before I can re ly on getting it all placed, I suppose I've got to wait until you get more than you need " A Crcrlono Custom? No document can have thc authority of the imperial throne of t h'na unless it bears a red mark placed there by tho sovereign. With thia seal upon it, the paper becomes official.

It killed 100,000 people. There is moro Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last f3w years was supposed to be incurable*. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantlv failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to bo a constitutional diseaso and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional euro on tho market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

TIIB Bathroom Window. 3t is occasionally desirable in a bathroom window or in one having an objectionable outlook to have an opaque pane.

This makes a hard finish that will remain Indefinitely, cr, if desired, may be removed by scrubbing at any time. Art. of IMano limping. An excellent way for screening the unsightliness of the back of an up right piano when turned away from the wall, as all pianos of that design should be, to improve the tone and prevent a singer's facing thc wall, is one in which a three-paneled screen is hung on a rod attached to the back of the piano at the top. The screen is made of three panels cf black salin embroidered in gold thread after the style of Japanese screens, the panels being laced to gether with gold cord drawn through small brass rings sewed at intervals of two inches on the edge of the satin, ending in gold tassels at the bottom. The whole thing is then edged with a heavy black silk or gold cord. The effect is uncommon and adds much to the furnishing of a drawing room or music room, especially where the room admits of the piano being placed at one end, with the keyboard facing the wall. Other material may be used, al ways selecting something of simple decorative pattern or one to match the other hangings of the room. In Paris draperies are made especially for this purpose,' but there is danger of having them too close and heavy, thus deadening the tone .of the instru ment.-Washington Star. Housework CoHlmnoR. A teacher of physical culture, asked by the present writer if women could make housework easier by a knowl edge of how the muscles ought to be used, said, "Yes, most decidedly." "It is not," she explained, "because household labor can be done very dif ferently, but by knowing how to rest In breathing spells between such work and by dressing hygienically. If pub lic opinion would not forbid, I would declare for every woman doing house work in a gymnasium suit. I adopted it years ago, and I know a number of women who wear it when they sweep or scrub. At house cleaning time it is a genuine emancipation. Watch a man and a woman do housecleaning. He can wash, paint, dust, scrub, hang pictures readily and with little effort. At 6 o'clock the woman is completely fagged, her skirts are draggled and dirty and a score of times through the day she has been in danger ot breaking her neck. If you shoulcT once sweep or scrub in bloomers you would never do the job again in skirts if you had to lock every door and draw down the shades. Of course a ring at the doorbell would throw a woman into a panic unless custom were to sanction the gymnasium suit. Women must dc the next best thing, wear a short skirt and a loose, comfortablo waist. Corsets should never be worn at work; it makes every task more toilsome because the greatest free dom of movement is required. If ab solutely necessary, don a loose, un boned waist or a bust supporter. Then lay asjde tight collars, which compress thc nock as uncomfortably as a corset Joes the body. The high, close collar which has been in vogue is to blame for throat troubles, and if women could only be brought to believe it, they arc ruining their necks. Ugly wrinkles and a darkened skin are in evitable results of shutting from the throat every breath of fresh air. "A working blouse may be comfort ably made with the neck open and a sailor collar. Wear bloomers under the short skirt instead of petticoats, and for housework there is no foot wear so comfortable and cool as can vas shoes with a thin leather sole and half-inch heels."-Good Housekeep ing.

How the Strange Affair is Managed-Cirls of the Age of Fourteen Are Deemed Marriageable-After tho Ceremony the Ants Are Eaten. . Who ever heard of ants in the role of matchmakers? Yet in the island of Su'.u, one of Uncle Sam's recently ac quired possessions in thc Philippine ar chipelago, the maidens cannot find hus bands without their intervention. A gentleman who recently visited the island has this to say of the curious state of affairs: "A most curious custom is to bc found in that island. It obtains only among some of thc more savage tribes of thc far interior, called thc Kakko hattochochka (I won't swear to the spelling) tribe. These savages are very primitive people indeed, and very savage in all their manners of life. There are not above 10,000 of this tribe, and they live in thc mountains of thc interior. The way their young women arc given in marriage is worth going miles to see. I saw thc cere mony last month, and I shall not soon forget it. "When a young woman comes lo thc agc of fourteen she is deemed mar riageable. A notice is given out hy thc town crier that on a certain day the young woman will bc given in mar riage. This day is within a month of the fourteentli birthday of thc lady concerned, and is chosen by her, ac cording to ancient custom. And thc choosing of thc day, by thc way, is all thc bride has to say about thc mar riage. Thc crier also, a few days later, calls out the dowry of thc bride and proclaims her charms aloud in thc market place. So all the population is notified and a goodly crowd of ad mirers gather to take their chance for thc fair lady. Thc near relatives of the bride and the contestants-who have previously given their names in to thc father of thc girl-and a crowd of perhaps 100 persons, if thc young woman is thc daughter of a man of importance, gather to see thc show. ,fOn thc morning of thc marriage the bride is taken out by her maids and crowned with lilies and clad in white. Thon with much drum beating she is lcd forth and passes among the suitors and kisses each in turn. Then she is wreathed with more Howers and is scated to watch thc fun. "Now, on that island of Suki they have a kind of ant that puzzles thc scientists, for it has a double set of mandibles, one above and one below the head, and both entirely independ ent in action. These ants play a lead ing part in thc marriage ceremony. The night before the ceremony thc vil lage priest goes out by thc light ot the moon and opens an ant hill with secret rites and carefully selects some ants equal in number to thc number of suitors. These are kept with care. After thc bride has kissed all thc suitors in turn they go out to thc hut where thc ants arc kept. Thc priest is there and V.c. takes an ant by thc'body and allows it to fasten thc lower man dible to the forefinger of thc right hand of a young man. These ants arc about an inch and a half long and have the most ferocious bite you can im agine. Then, each suitor with an ant hanging to his forefinger, thc young men go back to the presence of the bride. Then there arc long and elab orate rites, while the young men go ground and dance before ,the_. jiridfj. . each with a monstrous ant hanging to ' his finger. Then she is blindfolded and thc young men arc lined up for thc selection. "The drums are beaten with renewed vigor and the bride goes along the linc of thc suitors and inserts her forefinger in thc upper mandible of thc ants that hang to thc fingers ci thc suitors, each in turn. The first ant that closes his pincer on thc digit of the fair lady wins her for thc man to whose finger it is hanging. Then thc chosen bride groom strikes thc ant to thc ground and crushes it with his heel, and in comes the priest and marries thc couple. Afterward thc ants that have been used in thc ceremony arc taken out and cooked and a portion is given to each guest to bc eaten like thc wed ding cake in civilized lands."-Chicago Record-Herald.

No Way of Closely Imitating This Beau tiful Ware. Thc best glass for cutting purposes is flint glass, made very thick. This flint glass is made at different factories and is extremely heavy. Despite thc fact that in cutting out thc design half thc raw article is removed, a finished bowl or jar of moderate size will weigh as much as six or eight pounds. The work is done by holding thc ob ject at just the right angle against a swiftly moving wheel on a lathe, thc glass being kept wet by a stream of water. Thc first work in thc process is to mark thc design on the glass with a pigment, and after thc glass is deeply cut along thc lines traced thc pattern is gradually developed. Nat urally, the tracing being quickly re moved, thc greater part of this deli cate work depends upon thc correct ness of the eye and hand of thc work- 1 man. Thc cutting is first done coarsely and incompletely, this work being known as roughing. Thc roughing ir? done on what is termed a steel mill set in a lathe, water being used to aid in wearing away the hard glass. Then comes thc process of smoothing, which is accomplished by means of a rapidly revolving stone. Thc final process of polishing is done by means of a wood en whee!. Considerable glass is rc moved in thc process of smoothing, so that in the roughing-in process care is taken not to make thc cutting too deep. Cut glass is particularly liable to breakage on account of the difference j in its thickness. It may bc half an 1 inch thick in one place and only an eighth of an inch thick ir another, and as variations of temper?.ure naturally cause thc different thicknesses to ex pand at a different rate, cracks, arc li able to follow. One of thc chief beauties of cut glass to those who can afford to pay for it lies in thc fact that it is impossible to counterfeit or imitate it. Want Anyihins In Your Office ?
