Some of the present celebrated scientific

were married" And the older ones declare
that "in their day" there were no books fit to
study upon the subject of cooking, as chemis-
try had not yet been applied to the art. One sci
entific cook confesses to having eX oerinented
on feeding her husband. but declares that the
experiment proved a success, as his dyspepsia
vanished. She says the first knowledge she
acquired was the art of making the baker S
best bread. And then somebody else SAYS
that she is glad that she says ''their best
bread, - for most OF the bakers bread is afro
cious-an insult TO a self-respecting stomach.
This same person tells about the art of
biead making, which she declares is to .'bring

nutrition and quality are deteriorated in the
same proportion. For this bakers are not to
blame. Women insist upon size. knowing
nothing of quality.
There it is-ignorance / see women put

which is nothing more or less than slow
poison. It's dreadful Chemistry teaches US
that when -four, water and yeast are mixed
and held at a proper temperature the dough
becomes perfectly light in five hours and
ready for the oven. Ii baked at once the
bread contains all the nutrition in the wheat
When it is subjected TO ignorant treatment it
loses four-fifths of its quality and many times
becomes poison"

''The salon is sure to be lighted. There
you will see the princess and Count Alexis
Karagine. Watch well. When you see me
enter the room raise your gun and aim at the
count"
Drawn up in his rustic chair, his face more
wrinkied and distorted than ever before, the
old prince spoke authoritatively. His gaze
was intently fixed upon his huntsmap, in
whose features no other sentiment was dis
cernible save that Of servile obedience. He
continued:
"Aim at the count, but do not shoot at
once. Before you blow out his brains wish
to make him understand that he is to die.''
''Yes, excellency."
Therefore you will stand, your finger on
the trigger, until let fall a handkerchief
which shall carry in my hand. Then. Yam,
shoot, and hit your mark. You understand?''
"Yes, excellency."

Yam was more than mamie was brute
Whence he came no one knew. From Lith-
uania, perhaps, judging from his name-the
only words he could speak when they found
him, a tiny babe, under a bush on the high
road that crossed Prince Horostienko's es-
tates. They left him to grow up in the court
yard among the servants aud grooms. For
his daily nourishment he depended upon the
charity Of the peasants and the scullions.

THE VALUE OF AN
AFTERNOON NAP

For the healthy nap in the afternoon Is
not necessary, and the brain will not demand
it. If a man finds himself mapping at that
time, either he has eaten too much at his mid
day meal or his cerebral circulation is feeble.
1t is the universal habit Of the pig that is
being fattened to sleep in his sty after his
midday meal The working horse, on the
other hand. which gets nothing at midday
but feed of corn. Il small but highly nutri-
tious meal does not sleep at all after it. but is
fresh and ready for work in half an hour.
One would like to persuade all literary
workers to work in the day and to sleep at
night They should never go for more than
eight hours Il day. Early rising would be
good for most of them. A cup OF coffee and
q piece of toast at G. 80 O'Clock might be fol-
lowed by an hours work from to s. The
whole hour between and 9 should be de-
voted to a thoroughly good breakfast and
short walk Work from to ~.
Half an hour should be spent in gentle
sauntering in the fresh air and light lunch
should follow-say n chop and bread. with a
modicum of light pudding. From / to
pipe, q saunter and at a cup OF black coffee.
From 2 to work; at 4 "A cup of afternoon tea
and a rest until :. From to or $50, work.
and at $50 the real Iabors OF the day should
be over and completed.
At 7 a good, well-cooked, appetizing. slowly
eaten dinner. followed by one cup of black
coffee, but not tea. Al 1905, a small cup of
cocoa and one or two pieces of toast. At II,
bed and sleep till or $50. The BRAIN
worker should not work more than five days
a week in this fashion. He should have two
days of leisure in the week.
The frs. OF these should be voted to brisk
and thoroughly fatiguing exercise in the open
air, and the second to lolling. lounging. lit
tie light reading and the like. This is the
kind of life which physiology would suggest
for the brain worker, and in this scheme of
life" there is neither space nor necessity for
the afternoon nap.

VIEWS AND INTERVIEWS.

Opinions By the Delegation in Congress
Regarding the Decision.
The South Carolina delegation in Congress
was thrown into CONSERVATION on the receipt
OF kilograms stating that the supreme court Of
the state had declared the dispensary liquor
law unconstitutional.
Representative McLaurin. formerly attorney
general of the state under Governor Tillman.
received the first dispatch. 1t came from
Comptroller General Ellerhy. and stated in
brief the substantial features OF the adverse
decision.
1t was currently understood among the
South CaroliniansIthat the decision was against
has been such supreme issue in South Caro-
lima. accentuating party lines, that the Con-
gressmen from that state regarded the deciS-
ion as profoundly important.
Mr.. McLaurin is familiar with the case and
has all the briefs on which the decision was
based said: 1.-The essential point in the case
was whether the state had the light to engage
in the whisky business AS a means of profit
and to raise state revenue. No one doubted
the power to regulate the business for police
purposes, but the legal point was made that
the state could no more so into the whisky
business for profit than it could go into the
shoe or hat or any other business enterprise.
1t is probable that the decision hinged on
this main point. The decision is not a per-
sonal reverse for Governor Tillman. He has
simply been executing the law as he found it.
He did not make the law, but the legislature
enacted q =. was his duty to execute it."
Representative Izler, one of the conserva-
tive or anti-Tiilman party of the state. said
said that the decision would undoubtedly
bring peace to a much-disturbcd state. The
law had been a source OF political division

out disorder and riot within tie state and
much criticism of South Carolina from the
country at large.
Representative Talbert. of the reform or
Tillnian party, said: Il think the decision
will have the effect OF Strengthening the re-
form party. On its face it appears to be a re-
verse, yet it will undoubtedly appear that the
decision Is biased, and it will excite such feel
ing in the state that the reform element will
eventually be benefited" :"

Fashion Faucies.

Now colarettes are made of circular piece
of lace or chiffon. A hole is cut in the middle
and a narrow ribbon is run in, by which the
material is shirred up to fit the throat. A
frill of lace. set on very full. either gathered
or plated, has an insertion heading with daisy
ribbon.
The simulated overskirt is seen in several
costumes, and is simply the effect of cutting
the skirt proper in deeper or shallower curves
and facing the lining the same depth. with
the desired contrast in color and material.
Thus delicate changeable rep has a simu-
lated underskirt Of pale blue silk. The border
OF the curved overskirt is edged with blue lib

A pair of modish sleeves were generously

Yam there was but one law-.he word OF his
master; but one love-that for his gun.
When the evening tea had been drunk the
prince, making a pretext of having some
orders to give, took leave of the count, his
only guest that day, and. having kissed his
wife's hand, withdrew to his own apartment
A half hour later he went down into the
garden.
There everything spoke of love. Oppressed
by the heat of the day. the plants and flowers
had blossomed once more into life, filling the
air with their heavy fragrance. The firefies
-foated like bright emeralds on the night
breeze to where their mates awaited them
under the thick leaves. In the grass the crick-
cts sang softly to their love mates Of an hour
The prince took n circuitous route, and re-
turned on the grass, SO that his footsteps
might not be heard. Drawing aside the heavy
leaves of an elder tree: "Are you there? Very
well. Remember the signal, and fire at once!
In the counts eye, Yann-like the otter's.'
"Yes, excellency."
Certainly the poor princess had struggled
conscientiously to resist the ardent supplica-
tions Of Alexis Petrovitch. But he Was as and
she was only 20.
The grave caresses Of her husband sug-
gested to the princess what the infinite joys Of
young love might be with its divine intoxi-
cation, its ardent embraces. Never yet had

she given her lips unasked to her husband.
Must she always submit to his almost paternal
kisses? And what promises she read in the
eyes Of Alexisi
The princess did not stop to analyze either
her preference or her aversions she loved
Alexis. that was enough. Love at 20 has a
spark OF divinity in it; it does not even care
to understand itself.
One day Alexis swore to the princess that
he would only put his lips to the hem of her
gown; but. carried on by the torrent OF his
youthful love, he kissed her passionately.
She fed to her favorite blue salon, which she
never allowed any one to enter. There she
permitted the count to JOIN her.
After that they sat there whenever they
we're alone together.
So it was that, seated on a divan opposite
the long window, the princess saw kneeling
before her him who was not yet her lover, but
to whom she felt already that she entirely be-
longed.
"Ah, my life, how love you!' he was say
ing.
His arms were about her. Drawing her
closer to him, he sought her lips. She was
uneasy. and made as il she would release her
SELF when, suddenly conquered by the con-
vulsion which rent her heart, she closed her
eyes, and her lips met his.

man led woman, and she ran to it blindly,
careless Of her fate.
Yam understood this love. No one could
initiate as he could the moaning love lamenta-
tions of the otter to his mate. How many had
he shot to save them from their "doom," as
he expressed it.
Meanwhile, his eyes fixed on the count,
Yam silently leveled his carbine.
Infiamed by the long, voluptuous embrace
and moved by the strength of his passion,
Alexis arose. Little by little he pressed
closer against him the slight form lying so
unresisting in his arms. With his impatient
fingers he tore aside the silk folds Of her
gown.
But the princess stood erect. The adorable
modesty of her gesture, the look Of amaze
ment in her eyes, accompanied by so much
love, so much fear, reminded Alexis Of his
promise. Falling once more upon his knees,
respectfully, reverently, he laid his lips to the
hem Of her gown.
Barsouck saw all. even the look of mad
passion with which the princess thanked
Alexis, unconsciously promising to repay him
hundred fold for the sacrifice she now i'm
posed on him.

One day the prince saw Yann's arrow pierce
the blossom of a bergamot tree, and he COM
manded him to be brought before him. The
servant who led Yam to his excellency trem-
bled. But his excellency was in a good
humor. He contented himself with giving
the culprit fifteen lashes; after which he was
sent to the head huntsman, with orders that
he was to have a uniform and a gun.
Yam retained an agreeable remembrance
of his masters clemency; he wished to show
that he was grateful; besides, shooting was
his ruling passion.
His skill surpassed that OF all the most re-
nowned marksmen of his time. At forty
PAGES he could send bullet directly through
the eye of an otter without the slightest in
jury to the fur. Then he would silently de-
post the dead beast at his masters feet
Being repaid with simple. "Well DONE"
Yam would return to his thatched hut, surly
and saciturn, without even glance at the
group of maidens, who, with petticoats
dainty tucked up, washed their linen in the
river.
He never spoke 70 any one. Tho peasants
held him In awe. Evil stories were current
about him. They may have been true. For

With bowed head, and drawing one foot
after the other slowly along the ground, as if
to show great humility, the favorite hunts
man of Prince Horostienko entered the arbor
where his illustrious master was wont to re-
pose after eating.
Approach, son of dog, and listen"
Yam Barsouck came nearer and bent for
ward until his face touched his masters boot.
Are you always sure of your hand and
your sight?"
God help me, yes, excellency."
'Well, you are to wander away from the
castle. as is your habit. You must pretend to

electrified by the ray OF understanding which
penetrated his very heart. 1t was new idea
exquisite, elevating-that of womans
modesty.
Now he understood pure love.
As Alexis rose from his knees the prince en-
tered. Certain of satiating his hatred, gloat-
ing over the horror into which his unexpected
entrance had thrown them, the prince ad-
vanced deliberately toward the lovers, who
stood trembling before him. He went eau
tiously, like caterpillar creeping under the
petals of flower.
Alexis threw himself in front OF the prin-
cess. But quickly dsengaging herself the
woman boldly confessed all. Then, with
superb audacity, she stood staring in her hus-
bands face.
Old Horostienko was beside himself with
rage. Grasping the handkerchief which was
to serve as signal to Barsouck. he threw it,
with the force OF blow In his wife's face.
Surprised to see the count still erect, he
turned toward the window-and fell, shot
through the eye.
