The slender WON an.

The slender woman's greatest mistake Is
IN having her clothes too loose, believing
that in this way she hides the angles. In
reality her bodice should be fitted per
fectly, padding used If necessary, and re
lance placed upon the trimming TO give
apparent size. The lace epaulettes, either
on bodice or wrap, will add to her breadth
and make her look more rounded, while
the lace cape has an equally good result.
She can wear a short coat, double breasted
and with faring revers Of fur or velvet. In
deed il may be said Of her that everything
impossible to her stout sister is permissible
for her. A snugly fitting bonnet will be
found most becoming, and about her throat
she can have either high, stiff collar Of
white linen or the full, fluffy fur or feather
boa.
The tailor made suit in its severity is
proper, for a good tailor knows how to fit
even the plainest dress so that the wearer,
while slender, has a rounded appearance
and does not suggest that unpleasant ad-
iective, angular" Remember that hard,
plain fabrics are not suited to you, but
that YOU want rather the soft, clinging
stuffs that are at once graceful and In good
style. In colors choose the warm browns

Matter Out of Place.

The fierce luminosity some ardent
housekeepers exhibit toward dust seems
amusingly exaggerated to quieter souls.
To the true dust hater no family trouble
or family joy. is paramount. With her
mouth she may mourn Williams sorrow
or exult over Edith's prosperity. Her
eyes are rowing. They spy the bit of
fluff upon the carpet, and she checks
her sobs to pick it up. The recital of
Edith's happiness is interrupted while
she walks across the floor to wipe off a
tables edge or to lament the difficulty
of keeping a room clean when the win
dows are 80 often opened.
Births, deaths or marriages may come
and go in her household. Not one Of
these disturbs her equanimity half 80
much as having her sweeping day post
poned they are all of less importance
than the discovery that her dreaded
enemy has gained foothold in some I'M
suspected corner.
An enthusiast of this sort one evening,
with tragic air, requested her husband
to accompany her to an upper chamber.
The tired lawyer was impressed by her
solemn manner, and heavily climbed the
necessary stairs. The lady led him into
a room and pointed sternly to table.
"Look at that" she said Indignantly.
'Three times this week have told Mary
to dust it. l believe she neglects it
purposely. l am completely disheart-
ened."
The lawyer looked at the table and
sighed.
my DEAR" he replied, ''today have
had to deal with murderer and two
burglars. I have also examined two
wife heaters and one child stealer, but
anything like the moral depravity OF
Mary 1 confess 1 never saw before

And the lady triumphantly led the
procession down stairs. -Harper's Bazaar

No Christian may enter these holy pre-
cincts-the mosques Of MAINLAND as one
passes the doors Of the mosque one can
only catch a glimpse Of long rows of col
umns and arcades. The tombs themselves
are within, each in its sanctuary. These
holy of holes are said to be most gorgeous
and beautiful The ceilings and doors are
richly painted and gilded, the walls and
the tombs are hung with gold embroidered
velvet, while on every side are ranged the
presents brought by the faithful who visit
and pray there. Two centuries and half
of offerings are contained within these
sanctuaries. Among them are candlesticks
of silver and gold, boxes of illuminated
manuscripts, more than a hundred clocks
of all ages and fashions, quantity Of old
china and many other quaint things.
Doubtless among this huge collection are
articles of gold and silver, clocks, china,
etc, which, on account of their ages and
the great care that has always been taken
of them, are almost priceless.
The business part of the sanctuaries is
without doubt the huge boxes with grated
tops, into which the faithful drop their
money The sums thus collected are di-
vided monthly into four parts, one-fourth
being laid aside for the keeping up of the
tombs, and three-fourths 20 to the she
reefan family. -Blackwood's Magazine.

The Care of the Finger Nails.

Hangnails, which, when not owing to
negligent habits, are usually due to dry
ness of the skin, will disappear by de-
grees under careful treatment. The
skin should not be allowed to intrude
on the nail. When this occurs it must
be delicately loosed with the fine blade
of a penknife or dull needle point and
carefully trimmed, not cutting to the
quick, however. All the horny growth
about the corners must also be clipped
away; ointment must be rubbed on the
flesh around the base of the nail and
when needful should be left on over
night. This allays soreness, supplies
nourishment to the skin and promotes a
new and more healthy growth.
White spots occasionally make theii
appearance on the nails. When these
occur in large numbers they may be due
to constitutional disturbances on which
local treatmet will have no effect. Lo
cally they are usually due to Sigh
blow or bruise, probably received un
consciously, the effect Of which vii
pass away in short time.-Chicag'

was told by DIR. Noad, a relative Of Mr..
Buckle, author of "The History Of Civil
cation" that this remarkable writer was
entirely self taught. His health as boy
was so delicate that he was never sent to
school, and was left to learn little or much
as he liked and how he liked. His accu-
INFLATED knowledge was prodigious and
his memory-even about trifing things
most remarkable A friend of mine when
in his company had occasion to refer to the
cultivation Of rhubarb, whereupon Buckle
Immediately said, "The plant was intro
duced into Europe in 1901 mean the
common garden rhubarb which grows

about the value Of the latter as an article
of import into Great Britain.-Mrs. Crosse

Not Much of an Affair.

The tall Lord Stradbroke served under
Wellington in Spain and afterward
fought at Quatre Bras, but was some
how disabled from being at Waterloo.
He was, moreover, almost the only Tory

them of the art and architecture, and
strange customs and beliefs which they
would find there to interest them.

One of them said at last:

mainly to witness a Chinese execution. We
have heard that as many as thirty men are
often beheaded in a day, and we mean To

The Stewpan Mania.

The cooking fad that has taken posses
sion of the officers of the English army
shows among other things what a want
of originality there is among our future
Wellingtons. First, Colonel Burnett, Of
the Irish rifles, with his quartermaster,
took the matter up and aroused public in
terest in the question. Then when his
modelcookeryho Colonel Burnettin-
to good staff appointment, Major Dunn,
Army Service corps, took up the parable
and won distinction in the art of making
dripping. Sir Evelyn Wood has added
his quota to the new reform, and now
Colonel Hutton has made a ragout OF
all previous systems, and his advance
ment has made him very happy.
The latest victim of the stewpan ma
MIA is the Duke of Connaught, who has
shed the germs of the epidemic upon all
and sundry, so that several command
ing officers in the country have been
called upon to supply statement of the
whole of the meals supplied to the mel
during a given week. When these report:
are all received they are to be boiled down
and converted into new regulations

Queen Elizabeth had an immoderate
love for jewelry, and the description
given of her dresses covered with gems
of the greatest rarity and beauty reads
like a romance. For finger rings she
had remarkable fondness. Paul Hentz-
ner, in his Journey Into England
1598-relates that a Bohemian baron,
having letters to present to her at the
palace at Greenwich, the queen, after
pulling off her glove, "gave him her
right hand to kiss, sparkling with rings
and jewels-a mark of particular favor. "

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure cold? We will tell you.
TO cure a cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has settled in
the system. The first symptoms are a
dry, loud cough and sneezing. The
cough is soon followed by watery eX-
pectoration and the sneezing by a pro-
fuse watery discharge from the nose.
In severe cases there is thin white
coating on the tongue. What to do?
1t is only necessary to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy in double doses
every hour That will greatly lessen
the severity of the cold and in many
cases will eflectually counteract it, and
cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try
it and be convinced. Fifty cent bottles

Archbishop Thomas F. Brennan, Of the
archdiocese of Dallas, is the youngest
prelate of that rank in the world. When
a diocese was established with Dallas as
the seat, he was consecrated a bishop,
and was then the youngest one in the
world. He was born in Ireland in 1855,
and came to this country when very
young. He studied the classics in France
and pursued his theological studies in
Innsbruck. In Rome he received the
degree of doctor of divinity. Shortly
before his appointment as bishop of Dial
las the pope made him monsignor. He

there.
