Parisians-if we are to Judge from

kindly at present to fiction in book form.
Formerly the yellow covered novel,

Of numerous travellers by boat, rail or

threatened in the book trade, and novels
are at considerable discount.
1t is estimated that there are from ff-
teen to twenty popular authors whose

fishers, To attain this end at least
thirty thousand copies Of a work must
be sold. lola and few others reach
this point easily, but it has happened
lately that one Of the most celebrated of

WHALE-CATCHING OUTFIT.

Judge James q. Swan, pioneer OF
Port Townsend, has agreed to pre-
pare for the Worlds Fair a com
plete outfit Of canoes, fishing gear
made of wood, bone and bark fbres,
such as were used by the Makah
tribe Of Indians at Neah Bay before
the arrival Of the white man, and
used by them to this day with great
success. A similar exhibit was pre-
pared by the Judge for the National
Government many years ago, and
that exhibit has attracted marked
attention in the capitals Of Europe
and the big cities of America where
ever shown. Judge Swan will
eclipse that collection for the
Worlds Fair Commission of this
State. He shows public spirit in
the work that viii commend itself
to everyone, He proposes to do all
this work free Of cost. All he
wants is to have the Commission
pay for the actual expense of the
Indians in preparing the different
articles.

Women North and Snnfh.

Kentuckian, speaking of the northern
fashion of letting woman hustle for her
self in public places, says that this is en-
tirely due to the demeanor of the northern
woman herself When he is south, he al
ways resigns his seat in public vehicle to
woman, and makes it his business to Sc
cure her comfort whenever possible, re-
garding the welfare of every woman as the
special care of every man. In the south
the women are dependent, confding and
helpless. In the north they know what
they want, and they go and get it with a
rapidity that startles the average man.
The northern woman buys her own car
tickets, checks her baggage, gets aboard,
buys newspaper, looks around for a seat,
and waits her turn for one with all the in
dependence and courage of any man that
can be produced. She wants no favors and
she asks for none. This is so plainly APP
parent that, as the Kentuckian says, he is
half afraid to offer her any favors for fear
she may resent his interference; and, even
when he is sure that she will not, and
when she looks at him lougingly, he him
self is half provoked at the general swing
of the sex in the north and would not offer
her seat anyWay.-San Francisco Argo-

Sweet Seventeen.

A lady contributor to The National Re-
view tells how she took an English girl,
aged seventeen, for tour on the continent
She appears to have done this, partly at
least, to test "the effect of foreign travel
on a young and untried mind, fresh from
the stimulating power of high school
education" The result disappointed her.
Sweet seventeen" enjoyed the st. Gothard
railway, but, when asked what she thought
of the Alps, observed that they didn't
look so very high" SIS that your own COM
position?" she inquired, when her mother
quoted Lord Tennyson's lines on Monte
Rosa.
At the Brera, Milan. she wanted to know
if all the pictures were hand painted.
When Catullus' villa was pointed out to
her, it turned out that she had never heard
of him. At Venice she liked best the sham
jewelry shops, and wished to be told chow
many doges there were at once" To her
mother she wrote: 81 don't like going to
churches. they feel so moldy inside. And
the sanitary system of Venice seems very
bad; there are no end of smells" In Paris
she had to be informed what the Louvre
was. Her companion discovered afterward
that the young lady stood high in her
school, being first" that term in history,
literature and the Shakespeare class.

The Mother and Her Dress.

What contrast there is in the general
appearance of some men and their wives

and quite society boy, but in domestic
emergency of last week he came to my

Women and Ladies'.

There have been some amusing instances
of the misapplication of the word lady,
which custom has decreed to mean social
culture instead of its original meaning,
loaf giver."
A girl waiter in large hotel in an east
ern city approached guest with this
query:
"Has any other lady taken your order"
This was equivalent to the politeness OF
the little girl who surprised the family by
announcing:
Mamma, the swill lady is at the back
door,"
There is a story of the mistress of fash.
ionable house who, on being left without
any servant, answered the door bell and
was confronted by a stout girl, who asked;
Are ye the woman that wanted a lady
to work for yer"
A minister who was very polite changed
portion of Scripture to read, Ladies' and
gentlemen created he them;" and lecturer
who cared more for the sweet phrases OF
politeness than for the plain statements of
the truth, rung this query upon an aston
ished audience az he discoursed on the
characteristics of women:
"Who were the last at the cross? Ladies.
Who were the first at the sepulcher7 La
dies"
But even he was outdone by the exquisite
divine who, as he concluded marrying a
couple, said gallantly:
81 now pronounce you husband and
lady. "-Detroit Free Press.

The Cause of HomeIy Necks.

''The scrawny necks on American
women" said man dressmaker, "are due
as much to the high and tight collars
which they have been wearing during the
past six years as to anything else. The
fashion was started by the princess of
Wales, who has a scar on her neck, and it
was eagerly taken up here. Street gowns
and jackets were fitted with tight velvet,
cloth or braided collars, and these pressed
the neck so closely that when women took
them off after having been in a hot room
they not infrequently found them satu-
rated with perspiration.
There is no better way Of reducing the
flesh than this. A man cam put worsted
or flannel band around his waist, take vio-
lent exercise and reduce his girth under
the band rapidly and surely. The high
collars which women wore had precisely
this effect Now that they have become
distinctly questionable, look for an i'm
provement in the necks of New York
women. New York Letter.

Tho ChiIdren,s Tenth.

IL becomes mothers, from the moment
that their children begin to eat solid food
to see that they have meat and vegetables
aud milk, eggs, fruit bread and porridges
of the unbolted grains, and as little pastry,
fine -four bread, and confectionery as pos
sible, in order that they may at once begin
secreting the material for sound second
teeth-which come under any circum-
stances, TO be sure, but which under hostile
circumstances go without long waiting on
the order of their going 1t is equally
necessary to see that the food agrees with
the child; for if it is not of kind easily
digested, then the gases of its fermentation
Will rise and injure the teeth, and the
heated blood Occasioned by indigestion will
make diseases of the gums, also hurtful to
the teeth, and create more sensibility in the
nerves TO pain and to heat and cold.
Alterations of heat and cold, by the
way, are quite as bad for the teeth as indi-
gestible food, the delicate enamel being
obedient, as every other substance is, to the
laws of contraction and expansion, crush
ing and splitting under the process, and
aifordlng opportunity for the beginning of
decay by lodgment OF food, or even bv the
entrance of the common air Thus it is
hardly matter of doubt whether ice
water and ice cream are not of great detri-
ment to the teeth, whether good or bad for
the stomach, and If hot TEA and coffee, or
even plain hot water, are not equally POI
tent for harm.
Nor must the mother, if it can be helped.

pain that cannot be allayed-for there was

A FISHER MAIDS SONG.

The poplars tall kissed the cold gray sky,
And in front was the hungry sea,
And the river swept dark and drearily by.
While the wind sighed mournfully.
Away in the west the low sun died
The amethyst banks between;
And amid the reeds the plover cried,
As gazed on that well known scene
And the fshermen's boats were far away
On the oceans heaying breast;
And the red lights cleaned wide over the
bay
From the high hills windy crest;
And l saw again my lovers boat
With her white sails all outspread,
Like joyous bird DER the waters float
When the evening skies were red.
Tomorrow the sun in the east will rises
And the fishing feet come home
To gladden. the weary. waiting eyes,
Wet with more than the salt sea foam
But, ali me! for the boat that left the shore
That eve when the skies were red,
For the fisher lad shall see no more
Till the sea gives up its dead.

closer than the bark on dog. He walks
the entire distance from city hail to his
residence on Ninety-ninth street, although
just now the heat is very great. There are
street cars running right 10 his door. A
friend said to him:
''It must make you sick TO walk eight
miles home to dinner. Idon't see how you

yyoman,s PHYSICAL Promotions.

Celia Logan, speaking of woman's phys
zeal proportions. says that the bust should
measure ten inches more than the waist.
If the waist is laced in smaller than this,
the abdomen is pressed down and the
bosom up. the result being to cause both
to billow out to an unusual size. If the
natural shape of woman is not deteri-
Grated by tight lacing her abdomen, when
she stands straight, should protrude very
little, if any, beyond the front line of her
thighs. The abdomen should never be
larger than the bust, which should meas

should measure one-third more than the
shoulders. The old idea that a plummet
line dropped from the nose should just

Women and Tobacco.

I have heard men remark complacently
that they were glad their wives did not dis
like tobacco, as they did enjoy pipe by
their own freside. Their wives would not
deny this statement, but afterward would
tell me that they Invariably left the room
for breath of pure air." There are two
sides to all questions, and l am very sure
if many men fully comprehended the wom-
ems side of the tobacco question, the dis
gust and contempt so many of them feel
for tobacco worm" they would at least
cease to purify the air of their homes and
the floors of the buildings they frequent.
But were men to ask these selfsame wom-
en- if tobacco is offensive to them, the reply
would very probably be, ooh, not particu-
