rub down" the pretty gymnasts after
an hours hard work with the oars,
boxing gloves, dumbells, foils, ETC.,
lives on diet of rare broiled steak,
dry bread and sweet milk. She drinks
a quart of milk at each meal and con-
sumes two and half pounds of meat
a day. Between meals she has hot
tea, coffee or beef tee, soft eggs, raw
oysters and toast, and before going to
bed she takes the. juice of couple
of oranges, a grape fruit or bunch
of grapes. Often she gives massage
to twenty women and children day.
Her arms are muscular and she has
pair of hard, strong hands that this
exhaustive occupation has made alb.
normally large. Only an operator of
great vitality could do this work, and
only wholesome and readily assimi-
lated nourishment could sustain the
system. Il Detroit Free Press.

onions are health-giving." They

quently Tighten the feminine heart
'In America, says the famous au-
thor, ''some of the best people, par
ticularly in literary and academic cir

FASHION NOTES.

Crepes of every sort are promised a
very successful season.
The new fannelettes show a great
variety of checks and stripes. These
are nice for children's dresses.
Black watered silk is used on very
many models for revers and collarette,
and the sleeves are simply enormous.
The new perfumes that have Just
been brought out are blush rose, which
is delicate, rosy pink, and pink lilac.
a great many OF the dress skirts
show an under and contrasting skirt
at the hem. Without doubt we are
going to wear upper and under skirts.
A black hat trimmed with plumes
may be frightened with bow or
rosette of pink, blue or yellow ribbon.
and will look quite jarlnty with the nd.
dition.
Dotted Swiss is to be the favorite
material for young ladies dresses II
is very thin. sheer and fine, and the
dots have daintiness not usual in this
grade of fabrics.
One of the leading ideas in spring
cotton goods is the stripe. The lawns
batistes and similar goods in this de.
sign are pronounced exceptionally
pretty by the best judges.
The earliest spring dresses in cotton
goods are to be made with rather Main
round skirts, some of them with lace
or embroidery-trimming, Others with
flat braid or cotton galloon in many
rows.
Merchants are Just now making q
specially of black, cream, and ecru
net-top laces in Bourbon, Cbaptillv

designs, in edgings and insertions of
all widths.
The new bodice rufus are strictly

historic ruffs lid, make the weoror

demeanor.

tiers, grandsons and granddaughters,
great grandsons and great grand
daughters; besides whom she has four
sons in law, four daughters in law,
five grand sons in law and one grand
daughter in law. Seventeen members
of the English royal family are now
available as successors to the throne.
The next largest European royal fam
lily is that of Denmark, King Christian

the father of eighteen children, and

1t has been noticed that the insects
inhabiting islands had either very
short wings, of little use for flying, or
no wings at all. This adaptation keeps
them in existence, for if they had wings
which permitted them to fly any dis
lance, strong wind would most like
ly carry them out to sea, there to per-
ish, The fact is that the long-winged
insects which inhabited the island
when it was first separated from the
mainland have been carried out to sea.
and have persisted. Those with the
shortest wings survived, and transmit
ted their short wings to the next gen
Grafton. So on for centuries, nature
ruthlessly wedding out those with
wings, until those without these ap-
pendages remained. - Youths Com

CANINE INTELLIGENCE.

T. Sidney Cooper, the English ami
NAL painter, often made valuable
studies in Cumberland at places where
Scotch drovers halted with their cattle
for the night. On such occasions he
often had chance to see illustrations
of an observation-disclosures as well as of
its physical perfection. One day
when there was pouring rain man
consented to sit for Mr. Cooper at the
inn where he was stopping. He
brought his collie with him and both
of them were dripping wet, so he put
off his plaid and laid it on the floor by
the dog. The artist made sketch of
the man, but before it was done the
dog grew fidgety with the wet plaid and
his master said to him: TAX it ava
mon tax it ava. The dog took the
end of it between his teeth and
dragged it out of the room. The
artist wished to sketch the dog too, SO
his master whistled for him. As he
did not appear the artist and the drover
went to find him. The dog was sitting
before the kitchen fire with the end OF
the plaid in his mouth holding it W
to dry.
