A NEW WAY TO AVOID COLDS.
Hold the Breath for Half a Minute
in Sudden Changes in Atmosphere.

! 1t is fact not generally known that
! if q person holds his breath, wasps
and bees may be handled with impunity.
The skin practically becomes a coat of
mail against which the insects vainly
drive their stings. The moment par
ticle of air escapes from the lungs the
sting will penetrate. In explanation of
this curious fact, well-known physician
advances the theory that holding the
breath partially closes the pores of he
skin, and thus leaves no opening for at
tack.
This interesting statement explains
and enhances the value of practice I
have followed for the prevention of
colds. For many years my occupation
took me to crowded political and labor
meetings, generally held in rooms desti-
tute of any means Of ventilation The
heat was intense, the air f It'd and poi
sonous. l have left such meetings
bathed in perspiration, and plunged into
the chill air of a winters nj bit, thereby
running the risk of catching the severest
cold. Yet, strange to say, enjoyed
singular immunity from such aggravat-
ing ailments.
At the first touch of cold air I took a
deep inspiration, and then held my breath
for half minute, in the meantime walk
ing as fast as l could. During that half
minute the pores of the skin were closed
against the chilling atmosphere, and by
the time the lungs called for reinvigora.
ton the body had considerably cooled
and the risk of chill was over.
| recommend this practice to public
speakers, vocalists, entertainers and those
who are obliged to frequent unduly heat
ed rooms. In my own case the prac-
tice never failed, and though I fully
believed in its value, never understood
the reason of it until the scientist in
question came forward with his re-
markable theory concerning the stings
of bees.-[ Humanitas, in lid Bits.

MOOLEN DRESS GOODS.

The new wooden materials shown for
autumn gowns are nearly all in rough
effects. very few smooth pieces

hair weaves very much used, but the
loose hop sacking still retains the popu-
larity which it had during the past
season, and both have the roughness
heightened by surface effects showing
knots and threads of contrasting color.
Blue and brown is among the most pre-
valeut combinations of color, though
the variations are almost innumerabIe
These novelties are not only woven with
the knotted and irregular surfaces, but
are also seen in both wide and narrow
stripes of a somewhat indistinct kind,
and in many cases have both the stripes
and the shot surfaces Silk and wool
also appear together among the novelties,
and are in patterns and combinations
not unlike the al-wool goods, except
that the surface is less rough Demo

WHEN WOMEN ARE MOST BEAUTIFUL.
The physical beauty of women should
last until they are past fifty. Nor does
beauty reach its zenith under the age of
thirty or forty. Helen Of Troy
comes upon the siege at the age of forty.
Aspasia was thirty six when married to
Perices, and she was brilliant figure
thirty years thereafter. Cleopatra was
past thirty when she met Antony. D ane
de Poictiers was thirty-six when she won
the heart of Henry II. The King was
half her age, but his devotion never
changed. Anne of Austria was thirty
eight when described as the most beau
tiful woman in Europe. Nine. de Main
tenon was forty three when united to
Louis, and Catherine of Russia thirty
three when she seized the throne she
occupied for thirty -five years. Mile.
Mar was most beautiful at forty five, and
Nine. Recamier between the ages of
thirty-five and fifty five. The most last
ing and intense passion is not inspired
by two decade beauties. The old saw
about sweet sixteen is exploded by the
truer knowledge that the highest beauty
does not dwell in immaturity. For
beauty does not mean alone the fashion
of form and coloring, as found in the
waxen doll. The dew of youth and
complexion of roses sometimes combine
in face that is unmoving and unrespon-
sive, as though lacking utterly the life
spark. A woman's best and richest
years are from twenty-six to forty. 1t
is an arrant error for any woman to re-
gard herself AS passee at an earlier day.
In the course of years, however, q
time arrives when the coming of age
must be recognized, when the muscles
begin to relax, the skin to lose its polish,
and roundness and softness give place to
angles. Contentment and good humor
will still outrival all medical inventions
as preservative of youth. A woman,
beautiful in all else, but wanting mirth,
will grow old, sour, thin and shallow,
while the merry, fun loving woman will
be fresh and sweet, despite life's happen
ings and sorrows.-[St. Louis Star Say

DRESS UP TO LOOKS, NOT AGE.

In discussion on dress, remarks a
London writer, lately heard the opinion
given that it is pity fashion has to SO
great an extent abolished the landmarks
between youth and age, and that a
woman, no matter what her appearance,
ought to be clad in conformity with her
years. l agree that toilets should be
suitable, and that dreadful effects are
produced by fairy fabrics and delicate
1ints fit for early girlhood on forms of
-so!idity or extreme emaciation; but
surely, if a woman verging Oh forty
happens to look so well that she would
pass for thirty in large hat with flowers
on it, there can be NO 'just cause for
her to make herself hideous and fifty in
middle-aged bonnet. Suitability
should be studied in regard to face and
figure rather than years. If old Time
has been so kind as to push back the
hands of his clock little for us, it IS
very ungracious to insist upon setting
them to Greenwich time.

Bright Lads Who Get Good Pay and Have
Easy Work.
OF all the ITO appointments under
the Sergeant-at-arms Of the Unit d
States Senate, those Of the pages only
can be said to be nonpolitical. With
the beginning Of the extra session
several Of the pages will go out Of Of
flee owing to the fact that they have
reached the age limit. No boy can
be appointed page Of the Senate
who is not II years Of age, and no
boy can continue as page who is l6
years of age at the beginning Of
session of Congress. 1t is lucrative
position, and few of the boys are not
sorry when their term has ended.
Usually four of the boys who are
graduated from the pages position at
the beginning of a session are ap-
pointed riding pages. Their selec-
ton depends upon their records for
efficiency and faithfulness The page
on the floor Of the Senate draws S2.5
a day during the session Of Congress.
The riding page receives So. SO day
the year round and has horse to
ride. His duties keep him out Of
doors great part Of the time, car
rying messages between the Capitol
and the departments. The position
Is considered more desirable than
that of page. Speaking Of their
