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.

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,

as that of the other.?New York

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.

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. Surely it was better

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.

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.

designed to warn ships of their ap- ,

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 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-;

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.

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

"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

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- ]

have the sick and suffering made well
and strong, I unhesitatingly say that |
this medicine is the b^st and most ;

"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

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
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. Wis., mother of the young lad}*
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1699. saying
.her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation ?
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March. 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regulating
woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

Curious Effect of a Lightning Flash.
The following story, printed in the
Electrical World,describes an unusually
complicated case of cause and
effect, and demonstrates the danger of
keeping loaded firearms near telephone
receivers: In the town of Bateyville,
in southern Louisiana, A. Gautteaux
conducts a store, dealing in
diversified merchandise. Mr. Gautreaux
has his store equipped with a
double-barrelled shortgun and a telephone.
The combination seems to
have worked well until the other day,
when a thunderstorm passed over Bateyville,
and a lightning bolt made its
