Eating Habit. in Nr~ York.

breakfast before in the morning. He
eats hearty dinner at noon. At O'Clock
he takes a light supper, rests for couple
of hours or more and goes to bed 10 sleep

sleep to give renewed energy 70 the physi-
cal man. Your city man gets his breakfast
at to 9 o'clock. Ii is a heavy breakfast,
but he eats light because his head Is gener-
ally heavy. If he has been late IN getting
up he bolts hisfood and rushes off to his of
fee, with his stomach struggling TO get the
best Of the chunks of stuff he has flung
into it. At 12 or O'Clock be bolts lunch
meats, pastry and fruits and liquor in
such conglomeration as to make his poor
stomach howl with anguish.
Then at O'Clock he eats an enormous
course dinner, washes II down with two or
three kinds Of wine coffee and liquors. He
has no time 10 rest afterward, but rushes
Off TO the theatre and when he leaves the
theatre he sits down TO a midnight supper

Excellent Lip Snlve.

Here is a delightful recipe for a lip
salve to keep lips kissable and tempting,
not blue, withered and cracking into
seams like the orifce which serves for
eating and speaking purposes on most
women this weather. Imagine baby
being kissed by such mouth! No ether
creature would be caught in kissing dis
tance of it. The recipe is from a dainty
old collection by feminine hand, trans
cribed from the MSS. of maids of honor
and gouvernantes of well born girls:
Take yellow beeswax, two ounces and
a half; oil of sweet almonds. quarter
of a pint; melt the wax in the oil and
let the mixture stand till it becomes
cold. Scrape it into marble mortar
and rub it with a wooden pestle to
render il perfectly smooth. Keep it for
use in a galley pot closely covered

This from physician: eff / could i'm
press just two things this winter upon a
few women even, l should consider that
had probably prevented several fatal
colds One is for them not to run down
stairs from a warm, sunny, morning
room, where they have been sitting for
two or three hours, into a chilly parlor
TO greet some visitor without preparing
themselves, by an extra shawl or sacque
and exchanging slippers for shoes, for
the change. By our present system of
heating it seems impossible to procure a
uniform temperature throughout the
house. Two or three rooms are over
heated, the rest are below the requisite
point, and all are provided with a sys-
tenn Of crevice ventilation through badly
fitted windows and doors.
''ln her special sitting room a woman
counteracts this latter condition by a
surplus of heat, yet after becoming in
ured to the high temperature she does
not hesitate to go through draughty
hall and into room where the air is
from to 10 dogs. cooler. The visitor,
of course, bonneted and cloaked and
fresh from the outside cold finds the
room quite genial by contrast and even
loosens her wrap to meet the change,
but the hostess is chilled through before
the call is over.
THAT is my first point. The second
is 10 inveigh against the habit so many
women have of following friend to the
door for two minutes more Of farewell
gossip. Her formal friends she will
take leave of in the house. but her init
mates she will often accompany to the

Fa shioD's Influence.

Fashion is sometimes a friendly dame.
The Countess Taafe, rich and power
full social leader in Vienna, has set the
mode of wearing many carved mother
of pearl hairpins and other ornaments
to profit the needy fishermen. Arch
duchess Valerie. daughter of the emper-
or, has made silver ornaments and fur
nishings fashionable for the sake of the
silver workers To benefit the haE
starved weavers the Princess of Wales
has revived the Anticipated manufacture
Of Irish poplins, of which she wears
many, and with her sisters-in-law has
forced into vogue for the street the
heavy wooden cloths, the making of
which means bread to so many hungry
men and women.-Exchange

A Few Personal and Local Items Recorded
Just for Fun.

just for Fun.
TOLD HIM So.-Three months ago. when
young man who had stuck type for
thirty-fve cents per 1000 ems on a Cleve-
land paper, and had knocked off because
he couldn't agree with the editorial policy
of the paper, came out here TO establish a
plant and grow wool on his back, we sat
down and talked TO him like a brother
There's nothing mean about us. We don't
want the earth We have a great weekly
newspaper, a butcher shop, grocery, sad
dlery, shoe shop, millinery store and sig
nal service bureau all under one roof, and
we don't care how many other enterprises
are established in this wild west.
This young man planned to start a
weekly over at Pedro Valley, and we
warned him to pitch into the car of Rus
STA and go light on Tine boys at home.
That's the safe policy while learning 10
shoot right and left handed. He didn't
seem to take kindly TO our advice, and our
last words, as we lent him sixteen letters
out of a font of Job type, were TO prepare
for the up-bills and down-hills of the here

rect. He issued one edition, jabbed his
home subscribers, and now he sleeps in lot
No. y, section 81, of Towers subdivision
of the 1000 acre tract. He died victim to

TOOK \ WALK.-Any particular lack of
interest on our editorial page this week
must be laid to a little incident which oc-
Cured Tuesday forenoon. A cross eyed
pressman, who was working his way from
San Francisco to Boston TO see his mother
die. had put in couple Of weeks with us
as literary editor. He seemed prudent,
level headed fellow, and we passed in his
copy without reading it. What did he do
but ring in a little item TO the effect that
four aces always beat a royal fush no mat
ter what old liar held to the contrary. Col
johnson, who is Arizona authority on
poker came around 10 have a look at our
man and ask where and how we had capt
ured him, and he had scarcely stepped in
side the office when the pressInan lost his
nerve and began to shoot.
What was the colonel's gain was our
loss. We had finger split by a bullet, the
devil got rake across the skull, and the
foreman now carries his arm in a sling.
The colonel, it * needless to say, was I'M
touched. When our young man got through
shooting at everybody except the man he
wanted TO hit we assisted TO take him out,
head him for the cactus plantation and
start him off. He won't see his mother die
not if he keeps on in that direction. Ten
derfoots sailing in this direction should
bear in mind that our customs, ways and
habits are somewhat different from those

personally to decide which streets were
in worst condition, and assigned every
day the dump carts and sweepers

THE ELABORATE WINTER FANS OF
FASHIONABLE WOMEN.

What a Physician says-She Used No
Perfume-Their Taste Improving-Na-
tionaI Couecil of women-An Efficient
Secretary-ENeellent Lip SaIve.
With the opening Of the opera season
comes also the season for fans. 1t is a
little curious that it is not until winter
actually arrives that the choicest and
most costly of these airy trifes are pro-
duced. A Newport belle in midsummer
picks out from her stock some simple
fan for actual fan use, but when she
seats herself in her box at the Metropoh-
tan she lays upon the railing bit of
lace and gold or game and pearl that is
rare and perhaps historic, and whose
use is far above that of a mere breeze
producer. How deity she shields her
fair face with it from the too persistent
gaze of some leveled glass; how service
able it becomes to answer behind its
light shelter the whisper of a bending
escort; or, if her pose is a quiet, listening
one. with what languid grace its slow
motion fills out the picture!
At the first night of German opera
this season the beauty of the fans dis
played was worthy of comment. Many
New York women own collections Of
these delicate instruments that are
unique and almost priceless. A loan ex-
hibition of them would be most interest
ing. There are two novelties in this
seasons fans, or, more properly speak
ing, two distinctive features, for neither
Is strictly novelty. One is the prefer
ence for those of four and six sticks,
whose broad surfaces admit of free dec
Grafton. Some exquisite painted gauze
fans are shown with four sticks, each
fully TWO inches wide, of filigree silver.
Even more effective ones have almost
massive plates of updecorated gold or
pearl for foundations upon which to
stretch embroidered gauze or lace.
The other noticeable effect in the new
fans is that of crusted jewel work, sim
liar but much finer than the new Jew
eled passementerie used on gowns. In
some very costly fans the jewel work is
real but in more and almost equally eff
fectiye ones the precious stones are imi- |
tations of Partisan workmanship. Feath- |
er fans remain favorites and dispute |
reign with all Innovations. A gorgeous
fan, designed 20 match a cafe an lait |

and with amber sticks. The feathers
were heavily sprinkled with diamond |
clippings cunningly fastened out to the
very tips, and the effect with the fan in
motion was exceedingly beautiful. Her
