dressing which accompanied the toi-
lets lately revived. The struggle, how
ever, has been practically in vain, the
most fashionable women refusing to be
made conspicuous at the expense of
their beauty. Most of them wear the
hair frizzed and arranged in small
chignon at the back; round this, when
worn with evening dress, strings Of
pearls are entwined or diamond RI
vieres are placed. The chief coiffure
of Paris may be presumed to be the
chief coiHfure of the world; therefore
what that clever person, NJ Lentheric.
says about woman's hair will be of
interest to most women who want to
be as lovely as nature permits. In the
first place Lentheric condemns the use
of false hair. cit is hot" he says;
'sit is uncomfortable: it is not
pretty" Nor does he approve of dye
ing the hair, though some hairdressers
contend that dye is the only thing that
improves the growth of the locks.
When undertaking to 'dress head, !"
Lentheric takes all the hair in his
hand and draws it up to the top of the
head that he may study the shape of
the skull; then he looks in the glass
and watches his subjects expression,
and then he begins his work. he de-
clares that it is rare to find woman
whose head and face are well formed
enough to bear the Greek style of hair
arrangement. M. Lentheric, by the
way, dressed the heads of all the his
torical figures in the French exhibit at
Chicago. New York Advertiser.

Had a Stone In His Heart.

James O'Rourke died q few days ago In
Fitch Hospital, London. Post-Mortem EN-
aminer Thornbury held an autopsy and found
lmbedded In the centre Of o 'Rourke's heart n
stone about the shape OF an English walnut,
which weighed bstween four and five ounces.
The heart was abnormally large, being nearly
four times as big as mans heart usually is.
1t took up large portion OF the chest ca
witty, which Is usually occupied by the left
lung.
The stone was in the aortic cavity and al
most completely filled it up. The Only OPEN
ing through which the blood could fow Was
O space about the size OF small goose quill,
and for long time past the heart had been
able to do only about one-eghth OF its work.
The formation of stone is OF O calcareous ma.
turs. The case is without precedent, and
opens q new feld for surgical research.

A NATURAL GRACE.

Gracefulness, whec natural, is very
pretty accompaniment to youth and
beauty in women, out when it is as.
sumed, or rather initiated in an exag-
gerated form by women of mature
years for purposes of coquetry and
Irritation, it becomes most distasteful
to those possessed of any refinement.
Naturally graceful women in this coun'
try are by no means common nova
DAYS. Indeed, the compression OF
corsets and the rigorous tight-6tting
tailor,made gown appear almost in
compatible with gracefulness. Grace
fulness belongs essentially to freedom
and nature, and, as rule, it is easy to
discover when only acquired. Nice
manners are far preferable to acquired
grscefulness, which requires contin-
ual effort to keep up. Doubtless much
of the grace of the ancient Greek and
Roman women was due to their loose
style of dress, the corset being an un-
known afliction of later years. How
ever this may be, certain it is that the
women of to-day do not possess the
gracefulness of Helen of Troy or Cleo.

SOME NEW TRIMMINGS.

Beading in every form, width and
pattern is applied to winter dresses,
straight and varied, sewn on to the
dress or shaped into patterns. Gradua-
ted rows of braid are frequently ap-
piled to the skirts, and inch wide
braid is sometimes carried perpendic-
ularly down the seams. Black in color
is most fashionable; so are shaded
braids and embroidered braids, the
devices in silk.
Jet is not at all likely to be ban
ished. 1t is every year more beauti-
fully treated, and now is applied in
the form and designs used in braid
ing, as we'll as in long and important
fringes. Crochet has been utilized for
tinsel thread trimmings and silk. Jet
mingles with gold beads and gold
threads.
Leather, white and ecru, was lib
orally employed in Paris trimmings
during the spring, and is again i'm
ported into England.
The cloisonne enamel has inspired
some of the newest medieval revivals,
but they are too elaborate and costly
for ordinary wear. The shot chine
and shaded effects have great ele-
ment of beauty so have the jet fob
RIGS set with brilliants, which on even
ing gowns flash in the artificial light.

PRACTICAL ECONOMY.

Here is true story, the moral of
which is not hard to learn: Two girls
had each an old-fashioned muff and
boa of mink. For long time that was
a despised fur, 80 one of the girls
tossed hers into the waste basket, and
the servant pitched it into the furnace
and itwas burned. But the other girl
kept hers and took care of the bits of
reddish fur and brayed the moths in
summer and the laughter of her spend
thrift friends in winter.
Then, all of sudden, mink became
perfect frenzy of fashion. Then the
wise girl took her shabby little milf
and shabbier little boa and carried
them to furrier, and there came home
to her yard upon yard of lovely mar
row trimming. And now the wise
young woman is very smart indeed in
an exquisite gown, fur trimmed on
satin, and the girl who burned her old
furs goes questionable in plainest
cloth. Really, there is no finish half
30 effective as these narrow bands OF
fur, and mink suits almost every face
and brightens every complexion.

The Riseest Man on Earth.

Citizens of this vicinity yesterday

three-year. old child, was visiting Jama0

of weeks ago. Mr.. Craig explained
the trouble, stating that his wife lad
expressed desire to learn fashionable
dressmaking, and that he objected.
She applied for divorce, it was
granted, and she went to Terre Hauts

turned home and they were remarked.

THE REAL OLD MAID,

The very name of old maid conjures
up a sour, Grabbed individual, who hes
met with disappointment, and who,
therefore. looks upon all the world
with cynical eyes. But the rec! old
maid, the woman whose hair is, PEI
haps, tinged with gray, but about
whom there is no restless desire tc
win the affection of some man, is a
sweet and lovable creature whom
many a man would be proud to make
his wife if he could but persuade her
to accept him. How much better for
a woman to choose to go her way in
life alone than 90 join hands with
some man who is certain to prove un-
congenial, or who is mentally or in a
social sense her inferior! To be called
an old maid is much better than to be
called an unhappy wife, and many
there are who scoff at this single, mid
dle-aged woman, who, in their hearts,
would glcdly exchange places with
her and assume some Of her bright,
womanly independence. A woman
need be no less sweet and loving be-
cause she has no one to call husband,
or is not the mother of lisping little
ones. In many home there is sin
gle sister or maiden aunt who cher
ishes a world of fondness for the little
folks not her own, and is as much be-
loved by them as though she were
their mother, instead of being that
terrible creature called by the world
ID old maid. d.-Detroit Free Press.

Plenty of Deer in the West.

Deer, in their annual migrations, have
been leaving the mountains CT Western Colo
RADIO by thousands during the past few
weeks, travelling westward to the valleys OF
Utah, where the weather Is milder and food
abundant. There they will spend the winter,
returning to their mountain haunts after the
snow begins to melt in the spring. Hunters
do not often see the animals on the move. as
most of their travelling is done at night, but
narrow, deeply worn fresh trails discovered
in the morning tell the story OF the rnigra-
tion. The animals 20 in small herds, keep
ing we'll up on tho slopes OF the mountains
that trend westerly, descending into the val
lows only whom necessary in order to keep
their course, and always climbing high up
from the valley upon the next westerly
mountain.

CURLS ARE COMING.

Hair parted in the middle and drawn
over the ears is looming in the hori-
zon. The next thing will be the
punches of curls-ringlets is the proper
word-which are to be seen all
through the pages of Dickens, and
which necessitate a parting across the
head as we'll as toward the forehead.
Even now there are whispers of these
curls having appeared in Paris, to the
satisfaction of the hairdressers, no
doubt, because hair is not plentiful
nowadays, and 30 those who wish to
be in the mode will have to buy false
punches and stick them on.

The Procession Of the Speaker.

Just before prayers are begun, the
procession of the Speaker to his place
in the British House of Commons
takes place. Enough Of the old cefe--
monial still exists to make this Q
quaint and interesting spectacle. The
Speaker still wears the large full
bottomed wig of state occasions. ID

by q sweeping robe, wears knee
breeches, and low shoes with large
buckles. Behind and before him is q
small cohort of attendants-the ser.
geant-at-arms bearing the mace, the
chaplain with prayer book in hand,
the train-bearer holding up the train,
and two or three other attendants, the
exact purpose of whom it is impossi-
BILE to tell beyond the desire to make
the procession more imposing in point
of numbers. The sergeant-at-arms,
like the Speaker, is arrayed in knee
breeches, with low shoes. he carries
q sword by his side, but is allowed "a
dispense with the wig. The ceremonial
is made more imposing by the police

WHAT GOD WANTS.

God wants the happy hearted girls,
The loving girls, the best OF girls, the worst
of girls
God wants to make the girls His pearls,
And so reflect His holy face,
And bring to mind his wondrous grace.
That beautiful the world may be,
And filled with love and purity.
God wants the boys, the merry boys,
The noisy boys, the funny boys, the thought
less boys
God wants the boys with all their joys,
That He as gold may make them pure,
And teach them trials to endure:
His heroes brave he'll have them be,
Fighting for truth and purity.

WORDS OF WISDOM,
Forgetting is forgiving.

Forgetting is forgiving.
A good deed needs no applause.
Poetry is thought run into molda
An idle brain is Cupid's workshop.
A woman's age is one OF natures
secrets.
Love is contagious, epidemic and In
durable.
What the rosebud promises it doea
not always fulfill.
1t is seldom that woman thinks SO
without saying 80.
What man hath done is not always
what man should have done.
Two persons will not be friends long
if they cannot forgive each others Mt
tie failings.
The least movement is of Importance
to all nature. The entire ocean Is
affected by a pebble.
There are few people more often In
the wrong than those who cannot en-
dure to be thought so.
Gossip is sort of smoke that comes
from the dirty tobacco pipes OF those
who diffuse it. It proves nothing but
the bad taste of the smoker.
Follow right doctrine and be kind
to all that lives; receive in moderation
what is given; receive, but hoard not
up; these are, in brief, my spoken
precepts. ..-,---..---
Whose neglects . thing which he
suspects he ought to do because It
seems to him so small a thing is de-
ceit1ng himself; it is not too little, but
to great for him, that he doeth it not. {

REVOLT AGAINST HIPPOLYTE.

Discomfort With the Presidents Methods
Spreading Throughout the Island.
The New York Heralds special cable from
Kingston, Jamaica, says:
News received here yesterday indicates that
the long threatened revolution against the gov
eminent of President Hippolyte of Hayti has
broken out Messages have been received stat
ing that battle fought yesterday in the
streets of the village of L'Anse De Mean, a set
Element back Of Port au Prince. While fight
ing was in progress at this point news was
received at Port an Prince of another uprising
at st. Michael. The residents were in terror as
to the result Of this uprising. Troops will be
hastened to the scene with all speed the limited
facilities of the republic afford.
President Hippolyte at once issued a mani
festO that these uprisings are nothing more
than emeutes and that there Is no organized
reb lion or armed opposition to the govern
ment. In the elections held Sunday last Hip
pol, te's friends and relatives were chosen dep
uties, but their success is due to a display of
force at the polls which terrorized the voters.
Notwithstanding the encouraging terms used in
the manifesto of the president he is undoubt-
eddy fearful of general uprising and is in terror
of his life. The guards about his house have
been doubled and other precautions taken to
insure his personal safety.
Further information indicates that the dis
content against the president is spreading all
through the republic.
