I? , *KBcNcrrty? The Craze for Veilini;. The craze for veiling has reached such a degree that one sees women - v with three veils. One is the grenadine draped around the hat for no apparent purpose, then comes a thin white or black veil, then a dotted veil with figured edge. The oculists are happy. Feminine Mechanic*. ?.: English women are turning tneir attention to mechanics during the last few years, and the record of the patent ^, office for last year showed that out of g 2600 applicants 574 were women, and - the greater number of the inventions -f jof women have been successful ones. *< , Most of these inventions are of small ! articles, 149 of them being improvements for dress and 40 patents were for cycling inventions. Spb/': - ':*y An Enterprising Woman. ; . Miss Celia Holbrook, a Massachu> setts woman, has since the death of -her father, two years ago, supported O tli? -family of one brother and three > sisters by carrying on his blacksmith fr shop. In addition, she has a governor ment contract to take the mail twice a day to and from the railroad station and postoffice. During the summer months she carries the mailbag on her bicycle. In the winter she makes the journey of a mile on foot. Miss Holbrook is in her twentieth year. ' To Make Clothes Last.

Young girls are ?o- .wearing strings of perals twined in & Jand out of loosely massed coils of -hair, "and both coral and turquoise r' : beads look pretty worn in the same way. Piquant bows of satin or velvet |p ribbon are worn, placed in front of the jfe:-; knot of hair on the top of the head, and a small spray of flowers, a single gjp^ sprig of holly, with its red berries, or a full-blown rose, all give a pretty touch m. > the coiffure. Older women are j ; wearing quaint combs and pins in their fgfe hair, thickly jewelled, or treated with m-*- jd'art nouveau enamel, which serves to introduce a touch of rich coloring. Hpl; . i The Latest Nurse. ; In tlje line of trained nursing a new departure has been taken which will frf appeal to the housekeeper who has ^ v" struggled with the question of home nursing, or its alternative. Convalescent nurses are trained to take care of the patient during the last weeks :S - -of a fever, or other lingering sickness, ^before he is well enough to go out and fT- . yet demands companionship. The |fo- duties are light, consisting merely of ' ^reading aloud, giving tonics, keeping -the depressed spirits up, seeing that tlie invalid does not overdo, and all p jthe hundred'%id one things which the . occasion demands, fpg Oif cdurse, the salary is not so great as it would be if more detailed atten tion were required, but by means of 'this change many a nurse who could >. Jnot spend the time and money necesjsgry to take the full course at a train, ing school and hospital is enabled to P? begin her duties In this way, while the boon to the average income is a great one. enabling a nurse to be reined during the trying weeks which succeed a dangerous illness, when otherwise the family would be obliged often to do the hundred and one little .things which a querulous patient demands, and which are so fagging. H jlWhile the salary of the expert nurse is from $25 a week up, that of the ;convalescent nurse is about $8 or $10, p^- ^d yet her work ?*y be as satisfactory as that of the other.?New York - Cerald. ______ Tho Chinchilla in Its Lair, fe: i No fur seems quite so soft and fine and poetic to the average woman as ?chinchilla. It has all the impractical ^ attributes to recommend it to the [elegante. Its color is so delicate that Y -it soils quickly, -amis thus- it is a conqI; stant care and expense. It is so soft go'aj\d fine that th? slightest ill usage ruins # fprever. It is expensive and fine pieces are difficult td buy even if 'one is willing and able to pay exorbi*?>" jtant prices. It is not as costly as j sable, 'tis true, but it does not last so ,Well, so the scales are pretty evenly C-balanced. " ; " Taking all these things into consideration is it not painful to hear the chinchilla called brutally "a little rordeht," to trap which the Imcha and Amana Indians of the Bolivian Andes [devote the best part of their lives? This "rodent" looks "something like a squirrel and also like a rabbit" and likes high mountains. It prefers elevations of from 6000 to 16.000 feet. The Indians trap these creatures at night and the skins' are handed over to the chief of the tribe, who disposes of them and divides the proceeds among ? the tribesmen. One chief received $80,000 at a single sale a few months ago. These Indians, besides trapping chinchillas, go to church, drink potato alcohol and?it seems too dreadful to tell, but the potato alcohol is said to be at the bottom of it?occasionally kill and eat some unwary traveler who may be hunting chinchillas on his own account.?New York Commercial Advertiser. Feminism in England. The tide of feminism has at length invaded the law. A Scots lady has petitioned the court of session to be admitted to the solicitors' examination, and, as apparently she "means business," that tribunal will have solemnly to decide tne question of women's rights in this form. In this country there have not been wanting champions of this cause on the bench. Campbell says of Chief Justice Lee in 1737 that "his fame may have increased from his having had the good word of the fair sex. He certainly stood up for the rights of woman more strenuously than any English judge before or since his time." It appears that there *-?re t*o candidates for the office of .4v parish sexton of St. Botolph's in tha city?namely: John Olive and Sa-ah Bly. For Sarah 1jS9 men voted and 40 women, while John got the suffrages of 174 men and 22 women?and the place. The question was as to whether he was properly sworn in, and Le9 thought he was not, holding that a woman might be sexton of a parish, and adding, "It would be strange if a woman may herself fill the office and yet should be disqualified to vote for it." So he further decided that the women's votes were good. "Women," he remarked, "have held much higher offices and, indeed, almost all the ofof fVio kine-dnm as Queen, uiltr shal. great chamberlain, great constable, champion of England, commissioner of sewers, keeper of a prison, and returning officer for members of Parliament." If this particular lady's attempt is successful it will be a significant mark of the new century, the end of which may be familiar with - the sight of lady barristers?a new race of "bar-maids." as Punch calls them. 1 A hundred years hence the toast of | "Our Mothers-in-Law" may be quite popular.?Pall Mall Gazette. To Save Tears io the Nursery. Many wise people have exclaimed: ! "Children need discipline." True, and yet with young children to avoid a conflict is often the best way to manage. Their opposition to a plan of procedure is overcome and yet they scarcely know it. A dear young girl, relative to an overtaxed mother, volunteered one evening to put the overtaxed mother's little ones to bed. It was a mild evening in spring. A little four-year-old boy, who in the winter had had his bed warmed with a hot brick, cried out, "I want a brick! I want a brick!" The child, sleepy and tired, was in no mood to hear opposition nor even to hear reason. The amiable young volunteer nurse seemed to understand all - - - -v. --J J . ??-ar?u mis, ana very genuy sue saiu. ??cu, you may have a brick." Then going to the closet where she knew the cold brick was kept, she took it and wrapped it up and laid it at the foot of the child's crib; and the little fellow went to sleep contentedly. A woman who loves children and loves to see them happy, took two little brothers, her friend's children, tc their bed chamber to superintend their going to rest. The elder boy kneeled down and said his prayers. At this the younger (four years younger than his brother) began to cry, because Elmer had said his prayers first. The mother was not at hand, and the good friend was at first perplexed, but, brightening up after a moment's thought, she said: "We'll fix that; Dudley may kneel down and say his prayers, and then Elmer may say his over again." This was satisfactory to the beligerent one, and peace reigned where a storm threatened to disturb the scene. A little two-year-old demanded more salt on her food. The father, by whose side she sat, shook a saltceller over the baby's plate, taking pains to not invert it. It was amusing to see the contented mien of the child after the performance.

There is a gold embroidery done on black net in a heavy way that suggests a cross patch, which is in great flavor. An adorable petticoat lately shown was made of white gros grain silk with ruffles of black velvet ribbon on a circular flounce. A lovely bathrobe is of crepe de chine lined with albatross and made with a Watteau pleat in the back, a surplice front and "kimono" sleeves. One of the prettiest novelties is a plain gray suede pocketbook, simply stitched around the edge and fastened with a buttonhole and jewelled button. Dainty waists of India mull'in pale tints are worn with the tailor-made skirts and coats. They are finely tucked and finished with a lace yoke, belt and cuff. A dainty gown is made of white silk, pale turquoise velvet, and small silver buttons, the lower half of the fronts faced back with narrow shaped lapels of blue and white spotted velvet. It is said that the surah silk so fashionable some years ago will return to favor with the spring. Taffeta has been used so long that people are turning to the soft silks in plain effects for variety. The Raglan overcoat, so fashionable for men, appears among the tailor garments for women. In fact, there has never been a season when these coats have been such a universal feature of women's wardrobes. The ordinary gold tags ana spixes are giving way to the more elaborate enameled ones. Some are in the shape of pansies, daisies and violets, others are conventional scroll designs but decorated with jewels and enamel. Turnover collars, to be worn with silk, satin or velvet stocks, are more popular than ever.

President Diaz's Activity, Powell Clayton, ambassador to Mexico, on a recent visit to Washington, told a story illustrative of President Diaz's activity, in spite of his years. In company with the president the ambassador visited the Mexican military academy. It happened to be the hour of exercise, and many cadets were engaged in the gymnasium. Rope climbing was one of the exercises. From rings in the timbers of the roof, 40 feet above the ground, ropes were suspended and up these the cadets climbed, using only their hands to raise and maintain tnemseives. president Diaz and Ambassador Clayton looked on for a few moments, and then, to the astonishment of the American, the president of Mexico stripped off his coat, took hold of one of the ropes, and went up, hand over hand, to the top as nimbly as any of the cadets.

J ' The observatory of Mendon, France, reports the discovery of a singular cloud obscuring for some time a certain crater on the moon. The matter has aroused worldwide interest among astronomers. The only explanation of the cloud seems to be that the vol- . , cano is in a state of mild activity, and I that there is some sort of atmosphere round the moon. If the phenomenon is verified it will upset important theories as to conditions upon our satelite. The first electricity station in the ' Congo district is to be started at a Roman Catholic mission on the river ] Lubia. The head of the mission is | now taking out with him from Belgium | a dynamo, turbine, lamps, cables, I wires, etc. He proposes to obtain the 1 necessary power from the waterfall, some 28 feet high. The dynamo will light 150 lamps and it is proposed to ( light up the mission and the adjacent ; 1 village with 100 incandescent lamps and three arc lamps. The French government has decided to establish their own service if ! submarine cable communications. This decision has been arrived at as a re- \ suit of the Transvaal and Chinese ] campaigns, when the majority of the messages from France had to be dis- 1 patched over lines under British con- j trol. Even the communications that pass between the home government ] and the various ministers abroad have i J to pass through English hands. It is proposed to establish four cable lines ] interconnecting the colonies and the home country. ; ^ ] The latest invention in connection with wireless telegraphy is an apparatus designed to warn ships of their ap- , proach to danger in times of fog or in ] places where a simpler system of slg- < naling is not practicable. Tne inven- ' tion consists essentially of a toothed 1 revolving wheel, which operates a j Morse key in such a manner as to spell the name of the station.

In thi3 ' way all ships coming within range of the instrument may be notified of the ] fact by the ringing of a bell and the j reception of a message giving the name ] of the place, provided they are fitted i with apparatus for detecting the elec- | trie waves. An ingenious idea has been taken , up in the German army and small globes of silk, called balloon targets, are to be substituted for the wooden dummies hitherto used to represent ! men in shelter trenches and behind ; cover. The wooden dummies remain standing after being struck and may be hit several times while firing lasts, so that the subsequent count gives no 1 accurate idea of the effect of the firing. 1 With the balloon targets the result is ' seen at once, the silk globe collapsing immediately on being struck. In the ( exercises in which these are used they , are placed at irregular intervals, in groups, in line, and to represent indi- ! viduals, and when a moving target is used its upper .edge is not of uniform . height. The targets are not exposed until the troops are called on to open 1 fire. Instructions are given as to ad- . '> vancing by rushes, firing at every halt, < and also for the final charge with the 1 bayonet. The firers will see the immc- 1 diate effect of their shots and will 1 learn to observe the gaps made in the enemy's line, and to concentrate their ] fire on the groups which remain.

The price of keramo is about $1.50 per square yard, and so far the trials which have been made with this product have been most success- I ful. The Temperatnre at Cape Nome. Such records of the temperature as were kept at Cape Nome last winter show rather more than the ordinary disagreement among thermometers. According to one of the most reliable records the coldest day in the district last year was Nov. 29, when the temperature fell to 56 degrees below zero. The majority of those who attempted to keep a record are of the opinion that the -most extreme temperature was between 50 and 60 degrees, though one observer states that he experi- ! enced weather as severe as 69 degrees. The climate is very moist, and the effect of the low temperature is propor-; portionately felt In the summer' months clothing and other articles be- ! come quickly moulded unless frequent- j (ly dried. A Modern Motor Car. Recently a motor carriage has been introduced in France which combines many novel features. It is normally propelled solely by an oil engine, but! on hilly ground is helped by an elec trie motor. Tne oil engines worns at constant speed, and when the vehicle does not absorb all the engine power the excess drives the motor as a dynamo and charges the accumulators. j Then the accumulators are used only occasionally, and they are kept fully charged. The engine is directly connected to the dynamo motor, which is ' in turn used to start the engine. The { changes in speed are effected mechanically. Coitly Overcoats.

Oh, those nerves of ours, how they, j do bother us! Weak, tired, and ner- j vous is the complaint everywhere. We overwork, dissipate, weaken our j bodies, ruin our health, and finally j break down. Sleeplessness and indigestion are early symptoms, for the j nerves are too exhausted and irritable j to permit rest, and the stomach too j weak to digest food. It is nerve and brain exhaustion ' which makes the brain tired, and the j arm nerveless, the limb3 trembling, the muscles weak, and the whole body | without strength, energy or ambition. It is loss cf nerve and vital power which is slowly but surely sapping the very life itself, and unless help i3 j sought from the right source, the end will be shattered nerves, insanity with i softening of the brain, nervous pros- ; tration, heart failure, paralysis or pre- ' mature death. Beware cf such symptoms! A well ! known druggist. Charles W. Eggles- . ton, 329 Park Avenue. Worcester, . Mass., suffered from nervous prostra Lion and all Its terrible symptoms. He writes the following letter telling what ; he knows is the best way to get well. ' "Some time ago I was taken with ; nervous prostration. I suffered terribly with my nerves and could get no sleep i at all. I became fearfully exhausted, ; my stomach was in terrible condition i from dyspepsia, and I could eat hardly anything. "I used several medicines but with- i Dut benefit. Being in the drug business myself, and having had many customers speak in the highest terms yi Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try it. : After taking only one-half bottle I began to feel much better. "I slept soundly at night, and my J appetite was splendid. After taking j three bottles. I ate three square meali a day. and had not the slightest distress. My nerves were perfectly strong and I felt like a new man, being completely cured of all my troubles. "Out of the respect I bear the manu- ] facturersof Dr.Greene's Nervura blood : and nerve, remedy, and my desire to j have the sick and suffering made well and strong, I unhesitatingly say that | this medicine is the b^st and most ; wonderful remedy known today. "It does just what is said of it, it cures disease. Don't hesitate to use it, j sufferers, for you will never regret it. j You will be made well and strong." j As this letter is from a dealer in . medicine, his word is authority on j such matters. Everybody knows that ; Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve | remedy is the great leading medicine j of the age. Take it and you will be ! made strong, healthv and vigorous. I Doctors recommend it because it is j the prescription of a physician, and i because they know it cures.

What suffering frequently results from a mother's ignorance; or more frequently from a mother's neglect to properly instruct her daughter ! Tradition says "woman must suffer," and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a yo\mg woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and hei^mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examination : but no mother need hesitate to "write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of Soutli Byron.
