10 dispose little lace about 1t, in order
to conceal the scraSgy neck revealed with
too scrupulous honesty. Men are very
sensitive on the sub ect Of a companion
Of the opposite sex. liking TO see her well
dressed. though not conspicuous agree
able TO the eve, vet not showing any con-
seriousness of being so, and smart in the
best sense of this much-abused word.
And sons, like husbands, are fond Of be-
ing able 10 feel proud Of their mother.
While on this subject it may be added
that women over 40 should carefully avoid
becoming too stout. misfortune brought
generally by self-indulgence in the pleas
ures Of the table, in afternoon maps, and
IN lazy neglect of daily exercise. This sort
of fat is likely to result in disease event
ually, and, as it is easily avoidable,
word OF warning may not be amlss.
Avoid candies. Never eat pastry or but
tered toast. Prefer biscuits or dry toast
to bread whenever possible. Accustom
yourself to taking tea or coffee without
sugar Never touch Jam, and if you cannot
do without butter, spread it as sparincly
as possible. Beer is fattening and in
furious TO the complexion; milk is also
fattening. Lemonade, if made from fresh
lemons, is good for the health, and tends
to reduce flesh. Growing old is always,
of course, little tragic. especially if
woman remains young and fresh in mind.
But she need not grow faU, coarse ana
rudy, as well as old it is delightful to
woman OF 90 or 20 TO feel that her sons
and daughters are proud of their elegant
and graceful mother, comparing her with
the dowdy waddling, empurpIed mothers
OF their less fortunate friends.
The question of providing annuities for
daughters, after the English and F'ren n
manner, says the New York Tribune, is
being discussed in Philadelphia, which
city has large contingent of attractive
unmarried young women. 1t is assert ed
that these annuities can now be had in
this country, as abroad. and it is pointed
out thai one bought and kept up for
term OF years, and perhaps increased, Sc
cures comfort and independence to the
daughter who does not marry.
Considering the same topic from an
other standpoint, the Boston Home Jour
nal speaks of a society for this purpose
that has long been in operation through
out Denmark and works well and profit
ably.
The general outline of the plan, it
seems, is that lady who does not feel
wants to be married should pay an annual
premium to the central OI1ce; she re-
ceives a form of policy, duly executed,
and, upon condition that she pays her an
nual premiums with regularity, she will
receive, at the age of 40, a round sum,
proportionate to the extent of her invest
ments and with probably certain
bonuses"

The Congressmen's Mail.
From lac Waghlngton Post

With the passage of the Wilson bill u
was natural to expect a great decrease OF
representative mail, but it has not
proven so. The measure is in the slow
but ruthless hands Of the Senate, and
constituents who imagine that the big
gest man in the home district must neces-
sarily swing a powerful influence at the
north end of the capitol, continue TO
waste postage stamps and postal cards.
Some of these missives exhort, some
plead, and some do both A perusal OF
them shows that not two districts in the
United states want exactly the same
thing. u might be correct 10 say that
not one hundred men In any one district
want the same thing. Day after day
congressman read the letters, swear
softly, and dump them into the waste
basket. The clerks In the post ONCE are
earning SALARIES riTht along, and INC
trustiui voter, north, east south anu
west, waits for the response that never
comes.

Cured by PRAYER.
From the New York Press.

Williamsport, Pa, Feb. 1S.-There was
day night. Among those who attended
was Miss Mary Titus, pretty and Is. For
three years she has not been able to speak
above a whisper, the result Of an attack
of grip. When the services were about
half over Miss Titus suddenly leaped to
her feet and startled the audience by ex-
claiming:
Praise God, from whom all blessings
flow He has heard my prayers and re-
stored my voice"
The girls voice had, indeed, been re-
stored to her, and in the special praise SER

should not be more in the public
eye Just now than he seems to be. He is
really the most powerful man politically
in all New York, and his power is all the
greater because few really know the
foundation of it or why he has all the in
tiuence that is his.
The fact is that Mr.. Whitney is devot-
ing all his energies not to increasing his
fortune, as has been conjectured, but to
insuring the permanency of that which
he already has His wealth is enormous,
but his assets are not entirely of a kind
which possess what may be termed a
stable value. And this fact Mr.. Whit
ney seems to realize, for he is solidfying
his investments somewhat after the man
ner of the late Jay Gould. but without
resorting to any of the tactics which
even the most sensitive labor advocate
could find fanlt with.
AN IMMORTAL BISHOP.
Bishop Potter is now the foremost pre-
late of his faith living, not even excepting
the great men of the church of England.
This fact is recognized abroad il it is not
at home, and the. tributes TO his genius
paid him in England would have turned
the head Of q man less sensible. The
arcn bishop OF Canterbury made the most
flatteriug illusions TO him in a recent ser
som, ana the other prelates IN the House
Of Lords have expressed themselves in
terms equally tiattering Bishop Potter
probably guards tho consciences OF more
money kings ana queens than any single
American clergymen, for nearly all the
wealthy and fashionable magnates belong
70 his denomination, from the Astors
down,
This circumstance has led 10 the circu-
lation Of q facetious rhyme about the
bishops connection with constituency
that may yot be troubled by something
that has 10 90 with the eye OF % needle.
However. the bishop seems 10 bear his
great responsibility fairly well

The violet is the flower of the hour, and
will hold its supremacy during all the
Ienten season. says writer in Demorest's
Magazine. LunchcOns at which the modest
little bloom gives the keynote of color
are a favorite advertisement, and many
unique ideas in decoration have been de-
vised. At one charming affair the guests
were seated at four circular tables, each
accommodating five, and the decorations,
while carrying out the same color-scheme
were different on all Tne drapery on all
was snowy white damask, individual
bonbonnieres held crystallized violets,
at every cover lay n bunch OF violets tied
with mauve satin ribbon, and dainty
book bound in white and gold containing
gems of thought from the best authors.
In the center of the table was a mound
of violets with the tiny flowers scattered
in artistically careless lines from il to
each guests bouquet, as if they had been
accidentally dropped in removing it from
the mound; on another, the violets, sur
rounded by maidenhair fern, were in a
silver bowl, and mauVe satin ribbon was
laid midway between the centerpiece and
the covers, tied in long-loOped bows from
which the ribbon extended in festoOus to
the guests plates: the third had tiny
punches of ight-colore0 violets, all CON
nected by narrow purple satin ribbon,
laid in two undulating circles, and in the
center stood a tall, slender crystal vase
holding exquisite fers, and on the foartn,
from a central star on viOlets, a 5-pointei
star was formed Of nave satin ribbon, in
the sections of which single violets were
sprinklcd in most artistic disorder.

What a Cannon Ball Can Do.

In dwelling upon the wonderful power of
the guns of the Indiana, Albert Franklin
Matthews, in an article on 1.-THE Evolution of
a Battleship," in The Century for July, gives
illustrations from the recent Chilean civil war;
showing the effectiveness of the smaller sizes
of breech-loading rifle guns.
A shot weighing 250 pounds from an eight
inch gun of Fort Valdivia in Valparaiso
harbor struck the cruiser Blanoo Encalada
above the armor belt, passed through the thin
steel plate on the side, went through the
Captains cabin, took the pillow from under
his head, dropped his head on the mattress
with thump, but without injuring hair,
passed through the open door into the mess
room, where it struck the floor, and then
glanced to the ceiling Then it went through
a wooden bulkhead one inch thick into q
room % by AZ feet where 40 men were sleep
ing in hammocks. 1t killed six of them out
right, and wounded six others, three of whom
died, after which it passed through steel
bulkhead five inches thick, and ended its
course by striking battery outside, in which
it made a dent nearly two inches deep. 1t
was filed with sand Had it released deadly
gases no one knows what damage it might
have done.
A450-pound A missile from 10-inch gun in
the same fort struck the same vessel on its 8
inch arnOr. 1t hit square on bolt The
shell did not pierce the armor, but burst out
side the vessel. 1t drove the bolt clear
through and in its flight the bolt struck an
8-inch gun, completely disabling it. Such is
the power of the smaller-sized guns.
