WOMEN AND THE FLUTE.

Health as Well as Music to be Gotten Out OF
the Instrument.
From the New York Herald.l
The act of 'tfilling" fute-blowine into
it-necessitates lung expansion. The con-
tinued daily practice begets deeper and
deeper inspirations, old adhesions to the
chest walls are broken up and absorbed,
shoulders STOPPING forward become thrown
back. a chest contracted by the habit of too
tight lacing, becomes expanded and broad
ened, the blood from the more frequent and
increased supply of oxygen courses in the
vessels with more force. Renewed activities
in construction result everywhere, nutrition
is improved and bodily health invigorated.
This is also true of all wind instruments
when used with discretion, but the ease with
which the flute is made to speak, its size an
beauty Of form, adapt it more than any
other to the use of woman.
Either alone or with other instruments its
voice is one OF sweetness, fitted alike for the
parlor or the concert room. Upon it fair
degree OF proficiency may be obtained in a
comparatively short time with the expendi-
ture OF but little labor, enough at least to
make it source of pleasure and enjoyment
to the player and the hearer. The music
that has been written for 1t includes the
composition OF the masters of the art
sonatas, concertos, songs and dances. A
varied list; enough in fact, to suit the taste
and capacities of all. None need fear, as
did Minerva, the distortion of the classic
lines of face or mouth if the instrument is
properly used, while the grace of pose, in
form and feature, is quite as artistic as that
of violin playing and far beyond that at the
pidnO.

PICKING THE TEETH,
Bad From a Standpoint of Good Taste as
Well as Good Health.

Bad From Standpoint of Good Taste q.
Well as Good Health
Perhaps the worst habit which is charac-
teristic of Americans, says dentist in the
New York Herald, is the use of the wooden
poothpick at table. A wooden toothpick, OF
even a quill, should never be used under
any circumstances, and surely the table, in
company with others, is the last place where
such scavengering should be tolerated. I
think it equally allowable to clean the nails
over the soup as to clean the teeth after the
beef.
But aside from aesthetic considerations,
the pick does much mischief. DR.. Colson
recently read lengthy thesis on this sub.
ject before the South Carolina State Society,
in which he made an earnest plea for the
discontlnuance of this habit. The pick
forced between the teeth presses against and
irritates the gums.
Above all things never make pick by
sharpening the end of a match. Phosphor
necrosis, or death of the jawbone caused by
the fumes of phosphorus, is not as common
now as in the past, but we must not forget
the injurious effects of phosphorus on the
gums. That the fumes have penetrated the
wood of the match is readily proven by
chewing the wood, the taste being easily de-
tected. I once removed a large section of
bone and two teeth from the mouth of a man
who had contracted habit of chewing the
ends of matches, and I could attribute it to
no other cause. Instead of picks waxed
floss silk should be passed between the teeth
after each meal.

1t is true diplomacy to win the esteem and
regard of the persons by whom one is sur
rounded; to secure the confidence of ones
employer or patron; to study people in order
to learn how one may render himself most
agreeable 70 them; to make personal sacri-
fees often, when one will be the gamer for
them; to refrain from indulging the inclina-
tion to speak when, by speaking, unpleasant
feeling might be caused or enmity aroused.
1t is not at all necessary to be hypocriti-
cal in order to be iplomatic-honesty.
really, is the highest diplomacy. Honesty,
however, does not require that you publish
to the world all your inmost feelings and
convictions-that if you believe a man to
be an ass you absolutely must say so, no
matter whether it be to your disadvantage
or not; all that it requires in this case is
simply that you do not in any way give the
person reason to believe that, in your
opinion, he is not an ass.
Hypocrisy and diplomacy never should
be conIounded. A hypocrite never, in the
true sense, is diplomatic, for diplomacy

risy has within it the elements almost Ger
tain to lead to the discovery and conse-
quent distrust of the person employing it.

POISON OF MUSSELs.
Sewage In the Water in Which They Live
Causes the Trouble.

Sewage In the Water in Which They Live
Causes the Trouble.
FREQUENT instances of mussel poisoning
created prejudice against this fish. At the
suggestion of the Ministry of Marine,
the French Committee on Hygiene have
made an exhaustive inquiry, extending over
a considerable time, and the conclusions
come to are important. Generally, it may
be stated, that the fears entertained by the
public are exaggerated, because simple in
digestion is sometimes mistaken for specific
poisoning. The attacks of indigestion due
to the eating of mussels are, indeed, some
times so violent as to suggest poisoning, but
it is necessary to distinguish between the
frequent eases of indigestion ami the rare
instances of poisoning.
The researches of Wolff have demon
strafed that the toxic principle exists in the
liver, and Salkowski and Brieger have sue
ceeded in isolating the poison to which they
give the name of mytilotoxine. It is an
alkaloid similar to ptomaines and leuco-
maines According to Lustig, mussels were
found 10 be infested with special bacteria
in the intestines. Sewage in the water is
pointed out as the cause.

A pretty toque of black velvet has band
| of ostrich tips around the side crown and a
cluster at the back, with an aigrette in lemon
| yellow, and black bird at the back and the
front. The ties are of black velvet ribbon.
A toque of great ingenuity and design is
of cream flannel, embroidered in turquoise
| and gold beads and black velvet. The crown
is loosely draped and so arranged as to form
a nest in which sits black bird resting
cozily. The black velvet around the bottom
is laid In folds, and over this is drawn a
band on gold lace and turquoise beads, and
large knot of the cream flannel in the front.
This is admirably adapted for the opera or
receptions.
The little ones are too often neglected by
our milliners, and we will endeavor to give
the latest styles for the benefit of the man,
mas with darlings to clothe. Large soft
felts, with dropping brims, will undoubtedly
stand in the front rank, and the Turkish fez
will be its companion. A large brown
felt hat is trimmed in brown and salmon
pink ribbon, and the odd conceit is that the
trimming is so deity arranged that the rib
bon forms the facing in addition to the top
decoration. Each separate end is made into
bow, and after the felt is cut the bow is
drawn through and attached to the under
side of the brIm. One immense combined
bow is sewed to the top of this crown and
falls on the brim.
A comfortable appearing hat is wide
brim white felt with row of white swans
down around the edge and large white
armure bow with fringed ends placed on
the extreme edge of'the brim and giving it
stylish tilt Another pretty hat to match

with row of Angora goat fur sewed on the
top of the crown of the hat and falling in
endless confusion on the brim, and it is
finished with bow of golden brown.

her head until the crisp little papers rustic
like the leaves on tree. Throughout the
day she is joyous, so joyous that when lunch
time comes she can hardly stop to heat her
bottle of tea on the little stove where the
irons are warmed. and laughs so much at
the witticisms of her companions that she
does not find time before the o'clock gong
strikes to eat her sandwiches and her piece

During the afternoon she is in a fever of
impatience, and when the o'clock whistles
blow outside she is out of her gingham and
into her woolen waist quicker than it takes
to tell it, and, with her little hood pulled
over her forehead so as to conceal all the
tell-tale cufl papers, she threads her way
swiftly along the crowded streets over to
one of the big tenements on the east or west
lides of the town. That night she goes to

A MUSICAL WONDER.
Many of the Senators have bright chill
dren, and Mrs. Senator Spooner has boy
who is an infant musical prodigy. Philip
Spooner is the youngest son of Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin,, and for intelligence
and brightness he is unexcelled by any
Senatorial boy of his age: He inherits
his fathers keen intellect, added to the
mother wit, which Psychologists affirm is an
inherent quality in every man-child, and
few brighter or more charming companions
are to be met with in the social life Of our
gay capital than the justly proud mother of
our young hero.
Notwithstanding the dignity of his ten
summers, Philip is not ashamed of his con-
tinued fondness for the dolls which de-
lighted the days of his infancy. The sole
difference between the past and present
fancy is that as he advances in years the
dolls to sui. his taste must be very hand
some. The ugly ones are now banished to
the closet. This weakness extends also to
the living child, especially if she be girl,
who, if pretty, little Phil never fails to ad-
mire and pet In fact, treats her as if she
was already maiden in her teens.
HE SINGS AWAY UP.
His two greatest passions are music and
horseback riding. The first talent he justly
inherits from his mother. 1t he were asked
to choose which was his favorite pasttime,
he would find it difficult to decide. His
fondness for music. however, approaches to
passion and he will sing any length of
time for the pure. love of it, in a clear
soprano that easily reaches the second G
above the staff. He was told the other day
that the gifted soprano, Miss Sybil Sander

son, could reach B, two notes higher. He
at once determined that he would not be
excelled and immediately struck the high
B. His mother, however, allowed very few
repetitions of the note.
One of Philips greatest amusements Is a
large tov theatre in which he quite often
gives an opera, usually with only his mother
for audience. During these entertainments
he varies his voice from the high soprano
to the deep basso to suit the separate parts,
and his performance is truly entertaining.
Before beginning he invariably inquiries
which singer his audience prefers, and if
il happens to be Lehman, it is extraordinary
to note the extra fullness and dignity he can
throw into his voice. If Patti, be revels in
scales, trills and roulades, expressing all the
purity and clearness of a birds voice.
BASEBALL AND DRESS.
Like his older brothers Philip is a keen
lover of baseball and while at the seaside
this past summer he was manager of q nine
lin which game he took an active part.
His pose to secure the proper curve on the
ball was the admiration of all experts in the
field. If Philip has another weakness be

enough to excite the admiration of at least
the feminine contingent of the social world.

A Great Revolution as to Exclusiyeness of
the Gentlemen Now On.
A veritable revolution is slowly taking
place in the realms of clubdom, says the
New York World. Ifs anyone had suggest.
ed the possibility of ladies being received in
aristocratic male clubs few years ago he
would have been considered most promis-
ing candidate for Bedlam. Despite this fact
two of the most fashionable and exclusive
clubs in New York City and one of the same
character in Brooklyn make provision for
the reception and entertainment of the wives
and daughters of their members. A third
New York club will soon be added to the
list of the clubs which have sanctioned the
innovation, and other clubs are looking in
that direction. The revolution was started
by the famous Somerset Club, of Boston,
that which there is no more exclusive and
conservative club organization in America.
