to acquire, with little expense, a ian which

One scarcely realizes the improvements,
if the word may be permitted, in the treat
ment of disease over the methods of few
years ago, until one has had practical ex-
perience. Nurses are nowadays trained
especially for service in scarlet fever cases,
and so efficient are they that with one at
hand siege of that malady becomes much
less serious and wide-reaching in it's conse-
quences than formerly. An important part
of her service is to keep the body of the
patient thoroughly oiled; this process is re-
peated several times day, the skin being
wiped off with soft cloths after it, and the
cloths at once burned. By this means it is
possible to prevent the skin particles from
being thrown off into the atmosphere dur
ing the ''peeling" process, and great
source of contagion is controlled. 1t Is q
suggestion to all mothers caring for chill
dren with this disease-for trained service
is not needed to successfully accomplish

A New Ideal OF Besuty.

Il cannot be believed that the women of
to-day are Indifferent to beauty and less de-
sirous to please the eve. The explanation
is that the ideal of beauty has changed. Re-
pose is now the end sought; the expression
of self without apparent effort. 1t is by the
Greek ideal that the well bred woman now
measures herself and this is the reason of
the atrophy of the fan.
1t may be said for this ideal, as 1 have
said elsewhere, that it is vastly more diff
cult than commanding attention with
fourishes. 1t is also more intellectual, and
implies a loftier conception of beauty. 1t
is the idea that finds its highest express
sion in Jupiter shaking Olympus by the
raising OF his eyebrows or the waving of his
hair
But we cannot afford to miss the fan.
Though questionable as a medium of emo
tlon, II has an intrinsic beauty of its own
which Is not incompatible with classic re-
pose. 1t is this phase of its beauty that has
been developed by the Chinese and Japan
ese. One does not fancy an Oriental fiirt-
ing his fan amorously, but gravely holding
It so that 1t tells harmoniously in line and
color as part of his costume. One thing
only prevents US from enhancing a pose or
enuching the color of a costume with the
fan. We have too slight knowledge of
color and form. This is the ideal We hav e
chosen; 1t has yet to be developed.
The Modern Fan Is Substantial
CHANGING over the fan market, it is to be
abseryed that this time of year the cheap
fan has Its term OF appreciation. The deli
cate and expensive lace and feather compo-
sitions, carried at balls and other e, ening
functions, such as occur mostly in winter,
in summer are little in demand. The fan
liked for warm weather and daytime use
with summer garments is substantial and

Rwkwardly. 1t never occurs to them to agi
tate it except to raise wind, and this use,
as it implies discomfort, is more or less lack
ing in elegance. The belle may not at once
make it convey to the beau unutterable
things, or try the sorcery of her eyes in
partial eclipse above its spread rim. Such
expression of emotion is not with US good
form, and, in short, the conspicuous use OF
fan in any way is held to be i'll bred and

When my heart beat high and bold

Superstitious fancies concerning the
new year have been as numerous as
those with regard to Christmas. In gen
eral the first actions of the year are re-
garded as in some degree symbohzing
what is to come during the remaining
days, hence the idea that when you
sweep on New Years you should sweep
toward and not from the house, lest your
good luck be swept away. A similar
reason exists for the fancy that if you
do not have something new on the first
day you will have nothing new during
the year, 1t is not difficult to account
for the superstition that a light must
not be taken out Of the house on that
day lest there be a death in the family,
but why 1t should be more unlucky to
meet a woman than a man is one of the
curiosities of superstition. In general
the adages are against anything being
taken out Of the house before something
is brought in, the reason being suii,
GENTLY apparent. Several omens which
have grown out of the day are extremely
curious and unaccOuntable. In the Isle
of Man the housewife spreads ashes be,
fore the door and in the morning looks
for footprint. If it points inward, the
anticipation is of an addition to the fam

however, it points outward, the omen is

CHAdRIBED SAFE CRACKERS.
An Old Worn-Out Safe Wristbands
Their Most Strenuous Efforts.
But They Rifle the HowolIs Postoffice
and general Store, and Make
Their Escape.

Mention was made in yesterdays
RECoRD-UNIoN of the operations Of safe
crackers at Howells Monday night.
Since then the details have been re-
ceived, and Constable Brissel is hunting
for the miscreants.
GiVens d Heath's general store was the
object Of the burglars attack. The Post
office is also located in this store. The
men gained an entrance by cutting away
the sash of window and then unlatching
it, After this it was plain sailing for them
until they struck the safe. The latter is
an oId-fashioned concern, yet it withstood
their attacks wonderfully well. The
burglars bored into the safe at several
points, and then endeavored to blow of
the lock with powder. The explosion
only had the effect, however, of warping
the door Of the safe. but without renov-
ing it. The men must have spent several
hours in this fruitless work
They finally gave up hope Of opening
the safe and directed their attention to
the store. They ransacked the Postofiice
and helped themselves 10 a quantity of
postage stamps, several registered letters.
and a registered package containing a
valuable ring. Then they broke omen
the money-drawer and took about S. in
ten-cent pieces. After supplying them
selves with crackers and other provisions
they left the place.
! he men were not interrupted during
their operations, as there was no one in
the building al the time.
The proprietors of the store are at n
loss to account Tor the robbery and could
give the officers but little information.
Constable Brissel stated last evening.
however, that he had discovered a cleW
which he thought would lead him to the
rendezvous OF the safe-crackers. From
what he could learn the work was done
by two weL-knOwn Crooks" who,
while they are professional thieves. are
new at the safe cracking business. Their
work on the safe shows that they were
not experts at the business. These two
men, or men answering their descrip-
tons, We're seen at Howells before the
robbery.
Mr.. Brissel has gone into the country
to search for the thieves.
