What a Physician Says.

This from a physician: "If could inn press just two things this winter upon a few women even, should consider that I 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 uniform temperature throughout the house. Two CT three rooms are over heated, the rest are below the requisite point, and all are provided with sys tem of crevice ventilation through badly fitted windows and doors.
 ''In her special sitting room woHian counteracts this latter condition by 8 surplus of heat, yet after becoming in- ured to the high temperature shf, does not hesitate to go through drSughty hall and into room where ths air is from to 10 degs. cooler. 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.
 'EThat is my first point. The second is to 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 inti- mates she will often accompany to the stoop outside, standing on the stone in slippers and directly in the draught of the open door behind her. Three min utes or less of such exposure may pro- duce the most serious consequences. 1 have more than once seen in my drives about the city 8 young woman in light house dress, open at the throat and sleeves, bareheaded, feet and ankles khinly clad, so stand on 8 raw winter day as long as the honse was in my nght. wonder any of them surviVe.- New York Times.

Their Taste Is Improving.

Said 8 well known furnisher, who comes in direct competition with the big stores patronized almost exclusively by the fair sex: ''I have considerable dealing with women all the year round in fact, make positive bid for their custom. There are thousands of them pass the door every day, and l have added little toilet articles to my stock suitable equally for gentleman's dress ing room or lady's boudoir. These display conspicuously in the window. If you can once get them into the store 1t is easy. enough to remind them that there are many pretty things on exhibit, and as every woman has some man, be he father, brother, husband, or sweet heart she cares for, the idea has been many dollars in my pocket.
 ''I shall, of course, buy some especially decorative goods in neckwear, suspend CTS and in other articles where especial establishment may be added, but not 50 heavily will bank on the bad taste of the ladies as heretofore. Whether be- cause Of experience or because of the satire heaped upon them, or for what ever reason, womankind seems to have developed more practical view of what men would like to wear."-Clothier and Enrnisher

She Used No Perfume.

There is a certaini young Romeo in York society whose manly form and beautiful countenance have succeeded already in providing him with a half dozen Juliets. Suddenly, after success sive escapades of a more or less mo- mentous nature, the remarkable fellow was confronted by q young ;mszden with large brown eyes of extraordinary inno- cence; clear golden hair, worniall simply in q single coil; a tender, inc Eperienced mouth, and neck like lily.
 She seemed too ingenious. His cyni- cism had taught him to Lnistrust all womankind, and he made atwager with himself that the girl with; the brown eyes was the greatest fiirt dn.his string of acquaintances. It so happened that the irresistible young man one.day re ceived a note from his peek.slave. After he had read it he lifted Arto his,face. Then he started, as if surnrised.
 "It is not perfuned," he muttered, and be pressed 1t to hisface,agsin and repeated his observation. "Not per fumed; by Jovet this little. one is differ ent from the others. She may have character. I wonderful she uses any scent on her GoiletsP'
 That same evening the two men met, and there was an opportunity for the young man to lead the girl:away to se- cluded nook, There, as he took her hand, and she dropped her head, he spoke words that mea1n everything to the nearer of them, anh after he had spoken he bent down and kissed the dazzled girl.
 As he was walking home an hour later he said to himself: 7'F0r all the world like an infant. She's the first woman ever kissed who was nDt ,perfumed. She's worth marrying"
 And these two are engaged.-New York Sum,

Ana Efficient Secretary.

During the recent Illness of Street Commissioner Beattie. of New York city, his department was controlled for fort night by his private secretary, Miss Cynthia Westover, who superintended 1,500 men. Miss Westover went about personallyrto decide which streets were in worst condition, and assigned every day the. dump carts and sweepers. Knowing just how much money she could spend daily, she engaged or dis charged hands accordingly, having bar- rowing experiences with Italians who sought to move her by bringing sick babies-in their arms to prove that they must have work whatever the state of the departments treasury.

Two Lives Saved by A spike.

Mrs. Fred Robinson, farmers wife. was coming to town today on the track of the Lake Erie and Western, wheeling her baby carriage. She was about half way across the long and very high trestle spanning Sugar creek, just west of town, when she saw a train coming around a curve near the trestle at high speed, Mrs. Robinson, clasping her baby in her arms. in her fright leaped from the trestle and would have been crushed to death upon the ground below had not her dress caught upon spike. She, with her baby in her arms, hung sus- pended in the air till the train was stopped and they were removed from their perilous position.-Bloomington Qls.) Cor. Chicago Herald.

Dinner Parties in parisian Homes.

Dining at Parisian table strikes the observer, or rather tho diner, as a very different affair to similar event at an English board. It is quite an error to suppose that Frenchmen invariably dine at cafes, as some of the inex- pierenced undoubtedly do imagine Dinner parties at home are quite as ire quent an event in PaTisian circles as elsewhere. Society in general may not be as gay there as it was once upon a time, but if there is less dancing there is more eating and drinking than ever
 Even at dances the feasting plays a more important part than formerly. A hostess can no longer bid her guest to partake of a cup of tea and a brioche The sandwich and the verre de Bor- deaux of old are not now deemed sufficient to sustain the strength of dancers through long evening. It is now recognized thing in Paris that if you invite people to your house you must entertain them hospitably, and a dance now entails supper with cham pagne, rich viands fine fruits and deli cate confectionery.-Paris Letter

shakespeare,s Happie,t Com.dy.

It is pleasant to find play in which that learning which leans toward pc. dantry has so little to make. ''As You Like It. is Shakespeare's happiest com edy, most equable, least boisterous, richest in the music of Amiens' bird like songs, heard in the enchanted for est of Arden. This makes amends for Measure for Measure" Here we have the gentle poet in his kindest humor; here we meet the dearest and most woman like of all his women, the merry maiden ''so many fathoms deep in love-" Parting from her and her con- pany we part from the friends whom we can never miss, whom we can al- ways rejoin, loves that can never be lost, and the joys of the golden world Andrew Lang in Harper's

Fashions Influence.

Fashion is sometimes friendly dame. The Countess Taafe, rich and power ful social leader ill 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 half starved weavers the Princess of Wales has revived the antiquated manufacture Of Irish poplins, of which she wears many. and with her sisters-in-law has forced into vogue for the street the heavy woolen cloths. the making of which means bread to So many hungry men and women.-Exchange

Two of Esp0leon's Hairs.

St. Helena is picturesquely ituated at the foot of huge hill of sheer rock, on the top of which is the fort where the garrison is stationed, and there is a most wearisome ascent by hundreds of steps to the summit. The interior of the island is fnll of luxuriant vegeta- tion and many are the birds of bright plumage that fit from tree to tree. The impregnable natural walls that sur round St. Helena are grandest on the north side, where the precipices of Sandy bay are full of caves and giant cliffs. Though little known, this is a scene of lonely grandeur. Down hun dreds of feet below the jutting crags lies stretch of sand inclosed by the sea and a semicircle of impossible rocks, but when the tide is in no bay is seen.
 My hostess showed me among other curios two silver hairs that were once part of a lock cut from Napoleon's head after death. The precious relic had dwindled down to two solitary hairs, secured by sealing wax, for the frequent and pathetic requests from old French veterans, who with fearful eyes had begged for just one hair," and who left their medals and orders on their hero's grave, had always overcome the generous chatelaine of Maldivia, for had she not herself been carried in her nurses arms to see his first interment, and years afterward had she not watched the ceremony when his re- mains were taken in triumph to France2 Helena Letter

Elaborate Winter Fans of

 Salve.

With the opening of the opera season comes also the season for fans. It 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 Metropoli- tan she lays upon the railing bit of lace and gold or gauge and pearl that is rare and perhaps historic, and whose use is far above that of a mere breeze producer. How deftly she shields her fair face with it from the too persistent gaze of some leveled glass; how service able it becomes to answer behind it's light shelter the whisper of bending escort; or, if her pose is 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 oration. Some exquisite painted gauge fans are shown with four sticks, each fully two inches wide, of filigree silver. Even more effective ones have almost massive plates of undecorated gold or pearl for foundations upon which to stretch embroidered gauge 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 ef- fective ones the precious stones are imi- tations of Parisian workmanship Feath- CT fans remain favorites and dispute reign with all innovationss. A gorgeous fan, designed to match a cafe au lait costume, was of carefully selected os- trich plumes dyed to the exact shade 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.

vicissitudes of a spendthr.ft.

Twenty years ago William Dodsworth, wealthy citizen of Ohio, married a Hamilton, O., heiress, and arranged to spend the honeymoon in the east. h. stead of taking train the happy groom arranged for relays of coaches between Hamilton and the City of Brotherly Love. The affair was talked of all over the country, and reports of the novel trip published in the newspapers of this country and Europe. The groom ere ated furor by spending money lav- ishly, and lighting $1 cigars with $J and $lO bills.
 The other morning the happy groom of twenty years ago was prisoner on the yellow bench in the police court on a charge of disorderly conduct. He was fined $5 and costs, and for want of one of the bills with which he formerly lighted his cigars he was sent to the workhouse. - Cincinnati Cor. Chatta- nooga Times.

Caterpillar Salad .

A veteran who had been through half dozen campaigns and was very particular about what he ate was in vited out to a grand dinner party. He sat almost directly opposite the hostess and was painfully conscious that every move he made could be observed by her. Suddenly, at the height of the festivities, the veteran came across a caterpillar in his salad A furtive glance at the hostess disclosed the fact that she, too had discovered the embarrass- ing circumstance. It was a critical moment, but the old soldier was equal to the occasion.
 Without changing muscle he gath cred up the caterpillar with forkful of salad and swallowed both. The look of gratitude which he received from the hostess few minutes later warmed his heart. In due time the story leaked out, and when somebody asked the old campaigner how he liked caterpillar salad the reply came like red hot shot Do you take me for man who would spoil dinner party for a little thing like a caterpillar?"-Ch Chicago Herald.

Miss Durnins's Good Rifle Shot.

Saturday at twilight, while house warming was in progress at Thomas c. McAdam's farm house, on the Nooksack, a tremendous splashing was heard in the brook near by. All rushed to the stream, where Q cougar was found eating fine salmon he had just caught. The men, without alarming the great cat, went for their guns, and when about to fire heard the crack of q rifle, and the cougar leaped high in the air and fell in the brook dead. 4 bullet had passed through the left ear into the neck and severed the spinal chord. Miss Maud Burning had done the deed from the second story window, at a distance of 175 yards. All joined hands and circled to the left, with the lion and the lamb in the center. it is only a few days ago that Miss Durn- ing killed huge bear that is now being stuffed Reveille.

First Temple of Vesta.

Ovid tells us that the first temple oi Vesta, at Rome, was constructed oi wattied walls and roofed with thatch, like the primitive huts of the inhabit- ants. It was little other than a cireu- lar, covered fireplace, and was tended by the unmarried girls of the infant community. It served as the public hearth of Rome, and on it glowed, un- extinguished throughout the year, the sacred fire, which was supposed to have been brought from Troy, and the con- tinuance of which was thought to be linked with the fortunes of tbs city, Chicago Herald.

Double Quick EIopement on Foot.

At the village of Newberry, Ind. a highly sensational and exciting elOpe- ment was witnessed day or so ago. The fleeing lovers were from PlainviIle, Daviess county, and had eloped at dark, taking passage ill hack. The vehicle broke down, and they hired farmer to take them to the railroad station, but when he learned who they were and that they were elopers, he knew the girls father, and refused to take them any further, leaving them in the middle of the highway ill lhc dead of night. They pursued their way to Newberry on foot, arriving about daylight, and bought tickets to Terre Haute. Their names were Dukes and Slattin. While loung- ing about the depot waiting for the train and amusing the spectators by their loving conduct the "old man" rode rapidly up, and seeing them dart around the depot jumped from his horse and asked man standing near by to hold it until he killed man.
 By this time the fleeing lovers were going over the bridge across the river, the young man considerably in the lead calling back, Come on, Mary" while the enraged father brought up the rear, revolver in hand; but Mary shaded her lover from the old mans pop by keeping between them. Noticing that her father was gaining on her she took off her shoes and thus inspired with new energy she fairly flew, soon oyertaking her lover and distancing the old man, who soon gave up the chase, amid the laughter and jeers of the crowd who had wit messed the ridiculous proceedings. The old man then offered $25 reward for the arrest of the pair, but no one cared to undertake the job, and the old man re- turned home.-St. Louis Republic.
