This is the time of year, says Clara Belle
in the New York Press, when a woman
puts her whole mind on dress. For the I'M
married woman summer may be the most
important season of the year, but not so
with the woman no longer young, or for the
genuine and the vegetable, widow For
these fall and winter are more productive
Of surprises.
The tall, slender, graceful woman will
always want a man to go walking with her,

harm and good grease for regular daily
use TO keep the surface smooth is all right
When more is needed mix flower Of sulphur
and granulated sugar and cream Of tartar
to q combination that is palatable. Take q
teaspoonful, or more or less, as you find is
good for you. Take it at night or in the
morning. or both. The remedy is harm
less one; you need not be afraid to expert
ment Take it for month or so, or until
you find your skin clear and wholesome
looking. Almost any skin trouble that
comes from the ordinary causes Will yield
to the purifying influence of sulphur 1t is
a good idea to take this mixture one week
In every month. Better keep in good CON
ditlon than wait till you get cut of order
and then dose. OF course, plenty OF fresh
air and exercise and good food are good
things to go with this or any medicine.
But even without any one or all of these
things sulphur will do you good and help
make up for bad conditions. 1t is, alas
easier for many Of US to mix up sulphur and
take it than 1t Is to get good food aud
plenty Of air and exercise.
Before you take to the banjo or the
guitar remember that your carefully tend
cred finger nails must suffer. You cannot
finger the frets unless your nails are cut as
close as you can cut them. Nor can you
pick the strings if your nails are log. All

no time at the guitar. or the banjo The
nails, as | say. must be entirely sacrificed.
Still, it is worth while, and the new girl
with her clinGiug skirts aud dropping hair
and tender grace Is just the one to recline
among roses and softly touch the guitar
while she crones soft melody. She win get
credit for having pretty hands if she can
make music with them, even if the nails
are not long and piak.

KneadinS CLAY with His Feet.

One Of the oldest features in the proc,
ess of making glass is the construction
of the pots or crucibles in which the
raw materials are fused into glass ready
for the blowpipe. These pots, which
are dome shaped, about four feet high
and half as much in diameter, are mad
Of clay, which is principally imported
from Germany, although al article has
been discovered in the state of Missouri
which serves the purpose measurably
we'll. Men are at work constantly max,
ing these pots, for a supply of well sea-
soned ones must be kept on hand ready
for immediate use.
One Of the workmen-and Il very i'm.
portant one-is constantly employed IL
kneading the moistened clay to bring it
into a condition of requisite tenacity,
and this work oddly enough he does
with his bare feet, treading the yielding
mass back and forth with peculiar side
long steps all day long for a period OF
three weeks to each batch" No ma
chinery has ever been devised which can
supplant this primitive process of work
ing the clay into proper condition, and
the old man | saw at work will doubt
less tread backward and forward in his
box of clay us long as he performs any
earthly labor. Alfred Mathews in Pitts
burg Dispatch.

Won Moltke as a Strategist.

AS a skillful, untiring and farseeing
organizer Of the means which make sue
cess in war Moltke has never had an
equal and probably can never have a
superior. The unequaled success of the
efforts on his part and that of his coad-
jutor, Won Room, to perfect the national
preparedness for war produced the re-
suit that while these two lasted Ger
many would find in no European power
an equal antagonist.
Still less did any power produce a
strategist who gave proof of ranking as
Moltke's peer. Thus it is impossible to
gauge the full measure of his potentiali-
ties. He may have had reserves of
strategical genius which were never
evoked. 1t is impossible to determine
whether in the Franco-German war he
put forth his full strength, or only so
much of it as was proportionate to the
requirements suggested by the known
inferiority of the adversary.-Archibald
Forbes in Nineteenth Century.

One Of tie hot carriers at work on a

climbed up to the first story Thursday.
Then he fell and the bod, the bricks and
the ladder fell on him. When the debris
had been pulled away the hod carrier
was lying face downward on the pave

drug store or a doctor within half a mile.
A bricklayer put on his Goa and tore for
the nearest patrol box. Meantime the
hod carrier was lying there in a pool of
blood, apparently thinking about moth
ing in particular.
The boss was Tuning about, kicking
blocks of wood into the street and
swearing at the laziness Of the police.
The big plasterers who could drive a
spike with their fists were standing
around as helpless as children. At this
time a young woman in a blue coat came
across the street. She was pretty and
rosy, with a lot of yellow hair drawn up
tightly from her temples, and she had a

whipping out a pair of scissors she
ripped up the coat sleeve and the sleeve

The boss pulled Il piece of coarse string
from his coat pocket and handed it to
the girl. She drew it around the mans
arm, made II loop knot, thrust Il pencil
into the loop and twisted it until the
cord sank deep into the flesh.
"YOu hold this" she said to the boas,
and the big man knelt down and grabbed
the llgature. Then she had some water
brought out. She washed the scalp
wound in a jiffy. Then she cut among
the loose flesh with the scissors and with
plaster and a strip of linen from a bag
she carried she made a neat bandage.
Then she arose and viewed a pretty job
of emergency surgery with reasonable
complacency. The patrol wagon and
