Witness is borne, however,' by the Wilkesbarre fews that the Huns are becoming imore respectful of law, better edu cated, and, singularly, that they al ready own half of the saloons in Lu serne County. In other lines of trade, too, these people are found, and there is full evidence that they will become a strong factor in political affairs of the Wyoming valley. They are quick to learn in the schools, and most of the older generation are well-to-do and have acquired much property. Two thirds of the crime In the coal regions could be laid at the <door of the Huns in past years, and often they escaped punishmentbecause they feigned ignor ance before the courts that they had violated the law. But the Judges have since dIscerned that the Hun was not as Innocent as-he looked, andl the lines have been drawn tighter about the for eigners, with good results. :1 Plnkham Remedies --,S Fer disorders of the feminine organs have raIned their great renown and enlormfo's sale be-' eause of the permanenE i good they have done and are doiag for the women of this oeuntry. b if all ailing or suffer - Eing women oeuld be made e* to understand how ab- a solutely true are the 8 statements about Lydia E.

"About fifty years ago Mrs. Hearst was born in Missouri. Her namo was Phoebe Apperson, and she came of -ood Southern stock, her fatger a Vir inian, her mother a South Carolinian. Rer parents and the parents of Mr. earst were neighbors, and the little girl, born to the Appersons, was named For Mrs. Hearst, mother of the boy whowas to be her husband. Young earst went to California, found sue ess, and returned to make his Mis ouri sweetheart his wife, taking her to California while she was still in girlhood. Before she was twenty, her on was born-the only child she has iad. Mrs. Hearst says she regrets that she has had only one child. She would lilge to have raised a family of ons and daughters, bat as she has brought up several nieces, and has educated an.. reared the children of her kith and kin, to say nothing of the countless children for whose edu ation she has provided in the kinder gartens she has endowed, and the young geniuses she has schooled in Europe, she seems to have done her full personal duty to humanity. "In appearance Mrs. Hearst is slight and not tall. She gives an impression of fragility which is scarcely carried out by her ceaseless activity. Some imes the nervous exertion tells on her, and she is forced to delegate social duties to her assistants. Al though she employs a corps of secre taries, Mrs. Hearnt always opens her letters. It is characteristic of the thoroughness of the woman. And this, although her mail runs into hun dreds of letters a day. Most of them are begging letters from people who do not know that this sympathetic and charitable woman is too wise to give exc.3pt through organized channels. "Mrs. Hearst's hair is pale brown, lightly silvered with gray. It is parted at the middle and ripples away at the side in a Madonna-like coiffure very becoming to Mrs. Hearat's benign ex pression and regular features. The nose is straight, regular and rather small, the eyes large, full and gray, and the forehead well shaped and pro pounced iti intellectuality. - The lipe rra - i curved Slfa had -fiwy she does not anderaiikd igthe~ Le should be inteested in'ashe oes Md says. She is quite sincere in say ng that she does not see that she is t all extraordinary. She has not yet realized that an unselfish person,' de oted to the public good, with no hought of self and no desire for self aggrandizement, is the most remark able being on earth."-Ainslee's Maga vne.___ __ The Question of the Nose. sshould care for the noses f the chi e hat they grow properly. The soft ti gan can be moulded in early life. thick nose can be made thinner by regular treatment, such as compress ng it daily, either with the fingers or with instruments made with springs ad padded ends so as to clasp the ose. A clothes-pin has been used ad so adjusted as to bring about the ight amount of compression. Many oses are wrung and twisted out of hape by the vigorous use of the hand erchief. The delicacy of the struc Lure of the nose is not appreciated. The shape and size of the nose are ften of a character to cause great dis :ress to the person, and the deforraiity -for in some instances it really mounts to this-is borne with forti ;ude and resignation as something rhich cannot be remedied. The im ortance of the nose in its relation to ppearance has been appreciated by he modern surgeon, and he does not egar d it.as beneath his dignity to per rn operations for the improvement f this feature. Noses which are nat Lrally misshapen and those have been ade so by blows and accidents ar estored, or modified to assume a proper shape. Usually a deformed Lose interferes with the air-passages, i rowing or blocking them, and the peration is a matter of necessity as ell as of appearance. Persons do ot hesitate to spend time, money and1 nch endurance to have their teeth~ traightened; it is often quite as im ortant to the health, and mere mm :rtant to the looks, to have the nose traightened or to have it restored to more desirable form.-Dr. Grace eckhami Murray, in Harper's Bazar. The Latest in Skirts. The changes in skirts seem to con :st principally in still more careful Lose-fitting around the hips and not any reduced quantity of material I ~quired. or any waning popularity for e plaits wlich are so much in evi mee just at the moment. The grace .I fare, which adds so much to the aty of outline, will be increased ther than lessened, and plain skirts idently will be quite out of the ques on. The trained effect appears on .1 the models which are as yet being' nt out from Paris. The newest round skirt from Paris either goffered, tucked or gathered the waist and over the hips. Other irts are tucked at the top and then ~cordeon-plaited. This kilted cloth chic and has the advantage of nov ty, but unless carefully manipulated will develop into ani unwieldy gar cut. If the skirt is plaited, the sited waist will be en suite. The aits on gowns for different wearers, id in the use of different fabrics,will 2 widely diversitied from the finest f ,cordeon width to rather broad box 1 aits, which graduate to almost a )int at the top on some of the French t irt, and widen proportionately at Le top of the waist, tapering grace- r ly from the chest to the belt. r A skirt which attracted much atten- i m on the street the other day con- a sted of a plain back satin skirt foun- I ition, with an applique of chenille f iming around the foot. But over z fell an noverskirt of hlue plaild Irish o suiting, rough and heavy, a most strik. .ng contrast to the underskirt. This style will be frequently seen during theIcoming year. MIoreover,-it has a recommendation of economy to the woman skillful with her needle. You can cut off an old dress skirt, scallop it around the lower edge and use it for an overskirt. The underskirt can be you oldest silk one carefully re bound and rejuvenated with a band in the popular stitching. Vogue of the Fleur de Lis. The vogue of the fleur de lis is as great as it is pleasing. No more stately or magnificent blossom is to be seen, we ween, than this silky, velvety bit of floral splen dor which many of us cali a "flag." Its colors are superb, whether we gaze upon the creamy white, the gold en yellow, or the wondrons veinings and(its entrancing shad'"gs. We can't get enough of it for bro cades! It is a wondAr that the de signers have given it so long a rest. In wrought metals it figures to great advanta,- fitting right into the splat ter-dashy, modern art craze. For embroidery one can't choose a more effective pattern. On many of the new hats in the violet shades these flowers play a splendid part. In conventionalized forms they may even be found on printed goods. One challis thus be-flowered is fairly a poem. And yet there is not enough of them to weary the eye. Most of these designs come in the more ex pensive fabrics. The Queen of Portugal. One of the handsomest and clever est queens in Europe is unquestion ably the Queenof Portugal, who, hav ing begun the study of medicine as a "hobby," has taken her degree of M. D., and is now the chief physician of her consort, herself and her children. Her Majesty, who is also considered one of the best dressed women in the royal families of Europe, is well known in English society, and her training 'and tastes are thoroughly English, for, having been born at Twickenham some thirty-five years ago, she has also spent a great part of her lifq in this country, lastly at the famous Stowe House, in Buckingham shire. As may be generally known, Queen Ametie is the eldest daughtgr of the late Comte de Paris audvto Cam se Isabelle ed, at n on May frInc uke of King, Carlo become ery ybe with ore4 may bp a To ugsterious love rampant in the good s6ieg Sixty z or more y flaming red wafer was us, ~spairing lover when se to indicate a distressed and heat a yellow one whe&k was rankling in hbis breas , one indicated anger, and, a green one, fickeness; a vro faithfulness and constancy, an'd a blush ~pink, blissful contentmeg and. happiness. Quaint old seals engsavet with mottoes, with crests'aird-mono~ grams, have gecome maac- soughit after, aind tba st fascinating of ali Handsome New Gowns. Some of the prettiest new gowns are of black net or grenadine over black silk, with the overdress pro fusely ruffled. The ruffles number from three to five, and vary in width from four inches to six. They are aplied either straight around the skirt or curving slightly upward to the back. A charming effect is pro duced by edging the ruffles at both upper and lower edges with narrow white or colored velvet ribbon, re peating the treatment on the waist. The Newst Fashions. Light colors of all kinds are fash The old-fashioned blond lace with a. patterr. scattered over -it is revived again for veils. White gloves, except with black and white costumes, are not worn so much s the varied tints of fawn, biscuit, ickel -gray, cream, lilac and a green sh gray. Belts are essential features of all he new gowns, which maans that most ll blouses will be worn outside of the kirts, the belts being a portion of he bodice. Lace flouncings of Renaissance and enetian, as well as other kinds of ace, come all ready shaped in the ~ircuar form. fitting the cut of the kirt perfectly. Silk skirts with silk jersey yoke ops which cling closely to the figure re one of the desirable novelties. tna then th'ee are China silk waists a all colors prettily trimmed with ace. In the new effects of old styles is a :nifeplaited black silk skirt, with a ittle short apron overskirt, rounuding pl short at the waist in the back, and rimmed with application of blak lace round the edge. Thin fabrics of all kinds will be shionable, such as veilingsi and cre ons. The most desirable thin stuffs ~ave finely embroidered dots and fig-t Lres, and the mixtures of silk and ool are most attractive. - Khaki letter paper is the latest, ande ~eing linen, it migat be made out of i e very material made into uniform~s, oma its appearance.

Toques made entirely of ce over chiffou and completed with ~ bow of black velvet or a bunch of ~ owers are among the prettiest hats sight. Pure white satin, finished , raws, almost transparent, are very a nch in evidence. Yellow chrysanthemums are the a ewest fad in millinery. Chrysanthe ims of every shade and color, ia- r eed, are popular, even thtose of black lk petals. Flexible straw braid and rsehair lace are among the novelties r trimming, and are combined with ousseline de soie, velvet or tulle - PdPULAR SCIENCE. Spectroscopic and other observa tions show the fixed stars to be self luminous bodies-suns to the other systems of planets. An analysis of their ,light indicates the presence of the same chemical elements that exist in our own sun and earth, together with others unknown in oar solar sys tem. The news from Lick observatory that the North star, 255,000,000 miles away from us, has been found to be not one star, but three-swinging around in great orbits like the moon, earth and sun -is another remarkable result of the application of photo spectroscopy to the telescopic study of the heavens. In some interesting experiments by English botanists, "sleeping" plants, or those which had taken their noc turnal position, wers placed in a dark room. On "awak:eniug" next morn ing they took in the darkness their usual positions by day, even when that position had been made oblique by one-sided illumination. Several years ago at Brownhelm, Ohio, near Lake Erie, there were dis covered some remains of a mastodou, and now, under the direction of Pro fessor A. A. Wright, of Oberliu College, a series of systematic exca vations have been commenced with the object of recovering all the parts. Al ready the jaws, head, botL tusks, and a number of ribs ar.d vertebrm have been obtained in a good state of pres ervation. The bones are much scat tered and lie upon a clay hard pan at the bottom of a muck-bed four feet in depth. At the Laboratory of Hygiene of the Vermont State- Board of Health at Burlington, it is proposed to make systematic chemical and biological examinations of the public water sup plies of the cities and towns of the. State. It is the intention of the board to conduct examinations of the prin cipal streams of the State, and also all supplies serving twelve or more families. It is considered that this work, in addition to being a -diretiW benefit to the people of the.State, will also serve-to xfske the various resorts and obentry towns more' attractive to "e rom the cities during the sum mer, pshe danger of contracting dis e fro, udfivbolesome tater will be i .

He said: 'Certainly; I think he does. He is a very excellent general, and possessed of great firmness and talent, but he hias not yet done as much as some others. He has not conquered upon so large a scale.' I observed that he had shown great judgment and caution latterly, but that at first he had been too precipitate in advancing into Spain. He said that he had shown a great deal of ability in the campaign of Spain. 'It is impossible,' said he, 'for man not to commit some faults. We are all liable to it, and the general who ommits the fewest in number is the greatest general, and he has certainly ommitted as few as any one.' I then bserved that still he was scarcely to be equaled to himself. 'Why, cer ainly,' said he; 'he has not done so nuch as I have (lone. He has not , ~onqueredl kingdorns in the manner I ave done, but he is an excellent gen ~ral. His operations have not been tponso great a scale.''' Stage Snon Storms.

Best Prescription Is Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic. The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Botfle So That the People May Know Just What They Are.Taking. Imitators do not advertise their formula knowing that you would not buy their medi cine if you knew what it contained. Grove's contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless form. The Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives the malaria out of the system. Any reliable druggist will tell you that Grove' s is the Original and that all other so-called "Taste less" chill tonics are imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows that Grove's is superior to all others in every respect. You are not experimenting when you take Grove's-its superiority and excellence having long been established. Grove's is the only Chill Cure so throughout the entire malarial sections of the United States. No Cure, No Pay.
