Chating Dish Parties.

So great is the rivalry among the
owners of fine cha4ng dishes and choice
recipes to be cooked in them that
cooking clubs, of both men and women,
frequently meet and prepare luncheon
or ten o'clock supper entirely over the
chatting dish. Each person brings or
sends his dish and the materials for
making it in advance, and the feast Is
cooked course by course by the different
chefs. To prevent a superabundance
of one kind of food, each guest is noti-
fed of the dishes that will compose the
menu, or permitted to send in word of
the concoction at which he is most
skllful In this fashion a chatting dish
party may have much of the delight
and terror of summer picnic.

day. While the most obdurate and DEM
ocratic of Americans, Secretary Morton
had adopted a coat of arms. Avoiding
all terms of heraldic sort, this coat of
arms is the picture of a wide-spreading
oak in full green leaf, and beneath it,
for motto, is written:
"Plant trees"
"And do you know" said Secretary
Morton, when speaking of this coat OF
arms the other day to Il reporter of the
Washington Star, II was not little
struck while journeying in Scotland
last summer, when l learned that the
crest of the Scotch house of Morton
was tree. l began to wonder If, after
all, my admiration for tree was not
inherited from some forest-loving an
cestor who lived and died in Scotland
centuries ago"

go briskly through the ordinary calls
thenic exercises with the arms and legs
and body for ten minutes-no longer,
for the half-hour of vigorous exercise
which some advocate is trying to the
nerves and taxes woman's strength
altogether too much even five minutes
may be found sufficient day after day.
The motions should be made evenly
firmly and with sufficient rapidity to
get up pleasant warmth.
The lungs should be filled through
the nose with fresh air from the win
dow and emptied through the mouth
with quick election. This should be
done four or five times. Then the po-
sition should be taken for the exercises
legs together, hands on the hips and
chin held up. Then rotation of the
body as in the first illustration. This
tends to make the waist slim and mo-
bile, and the muscles may be felt al
ternately stretching and relaxing un-
der the hands as the motion is de-
scribed.
The second sketch illustrates the
exercise for widening the chest, in
creasing it's bust and strengthening and
knitting the spinal muscles generally.
The other exercises to be taken are
made according to the well-known rou-
tine, hands from shoulder up, ten times,
then down, then from the shoulder
straight out in front the same number
of times. All these should be done
brislly.
After the exercise cold sponge bath
should be taken, accompanied by vigor-
GUS rubbing, and every other week
cupful of common salt should be
thrown into the water each day, and
when this is used it must be remem-
bered that soap cannot be used, as the
two do not agree.
After dressing slowly a breakfast
should be eaten of fresh fruit, grain
foods and eggs or chops, according to
ones taste.
At night, just before retiring, the
same exercise should be gone through
and sponge wet with alcohol rubbed
over the body; bathing Che feet in
warm, almost hot, water is soothing
and healthy also, as it helps one to
sleep soundly and sweetly.
To give woman an erect and beauti-
full figure there is no surer way than to

Fishes That Cannot Swim.

More than one species of fish is met
with which cannot swim, the most
singular of which, perhaps, is the
maltha, Brazilian fish, whose organs
of locomotion only enable it to crawl,
or walk, or hop, after the manner Of
a toad, to which animal this fish to
some extent bears resemblance, and
it is provided with long, upturned
snout. The anterior (pectoral) fins of
the maltha, which are quite small, are
not capable of acting on the water, but
can only move backward and forward,
having truly the form of thin paws.
Both these and the ventral and anal
fins arc very different from the similar
fins in other fishes, and could not serve
for swimming at all. Other examples
of non-swimming fishes include the
seahorse, another most peculiarly
shaped inhabitant of the sea, which re-
sembles the knight in set of chess
men; and the starfish, of which there
are many specimens, which mostly
walk or crawl on the shore or rocks,
both being unable to swim.

Truly Colossal 1'ImepIece.

One of the most wonderful clocks in
the world is being exhibited in St.
Petersburg. 1t was originally manu-
factured for the late Duke Charles of
Brunswick, who bequeathed it to the
Swiss confederation. There are no
fewer than 05 faces to this colossal
timepiece. 1t indicates simultaneously
the time of day ut 80 different spots OF
the earth's surface, besides the move
ment of the earth around the sun, the
phases of the moon, the signs of the
zodiac, the passage over the meridian
of more than so stars of the northern
hemisphere, and the date according to
the Gregorian, Greek, Mussulman and
Hebrew calendars. So complicated are
the works that it took two years to put
them together after the clock had been
sent In detached pieces from Switzer-
land to Russia.

owner of the many little attentions she
must bestow on the unpretentious
small basket. A very convenient and
attractive basket may be made at
home, using two peach baskets, as
shown in cut. The lower one may be
left unfinished inside, merely serving
as support. The upper one should be
lined inside, and furnished with nu-
merous pockets and cushion or two
for needles and pins. Cover the out
side with pretty cresonne or silkoline,
putting band and bow where the two
baskets meet. The top is made of
long, straight piece of the right width
to gather up in the center with draw
string, the other edge being fastened
under the upper frill. The draw
string should be long enough to let al
the fullness out, so that the top may
be turned down on the outside when
the basket is in use.-Rural New

stand with the hands On the hips as
often as possible, with the abdom in
and the chest thrown well out. When
one is at home it is easy to stand in this
way for several minutes at time or to
walk about the house so. 1t works
like magic, too, for giving one fine
carriage.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to add that
all the walking in the open air one can
possibly do, unless it is in the hot sun,
serves to add to ones health and
beauty, and woman should be out of

How odd it will sound after awhile
to hear some one say: ~ saw human
being placed upon block and sold to
the highest bidder" And yet many of
us have seen this. But how dreamy
and shadowy it seems, away back yon-
der in that past that the thrill of child
hood makes hallowed The world is
swift and in the feverish lull that comes
at nightfall we can hear cry of dis
itress-we know that life is full of
greed, and that men trample upon the
weak and forget the dying in their
race for the dollar, and yet we must
acknowledge that the world is better
than it was when human being was
placed upon block and sold.
Some time ago, while in Texas, l
heard story that affected me greatly.

UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS.
Soon They Will Wear q New
Style of Uniform.
Tho ld-Fashionod Cap VIII Be Sup<
planted by n Nobby Piece OF Head
gear-Somothing Entirely
Now In Coats.

Styles in army uniforms are changing
this summer. The order does not come
from the prince of Wales or from any
autocratic New York or London tailor,
but from the sole arbiter of fashions
for army men, the secretary of war.
A new order has been issued, to go
into effect July l, materially changing
the style of the officers undress uni
forms. To military man the matter
of dress is most important, not from
any feeling of personal vanity, but as n
part of the regular and orderly discip-
line, the national peculiarities and the
traditions of service which form the
largest element In the life of every good
soldier.
Following is the text of the new or
der in part. 1t affects both staff and
line officers and enlisted men:
BY direction of the secretary of war
the undress coat and the undress cap
for all officers, except chaplains, and
the undress cap for all enlisted men,
are adopted according to the following
general descriptions and patterns in
the office of the quartermaster general:
A single-breasted sack coat of dark
blue cloth or serge with standing col
lar. The coat to be trimmed with lus-
trous black mohair fiat braid. This
coat will be worn when full dress is
not required. During the warm season
post commanders may authorize this
coat made of white duck or flannel, to
be worn with white braid, but without
shoulder straps or collar insignia.
On undress duty plaid leather belt
will be worn under the undress coat,
the sword hook emerging through the
opening of the coat on the left side.
For field service, or when the pistol is
carried, the belt will be worn outside
the undress coat when so directed by
the commanding officer.
The insignia for officers undress coats
will be as follows:
For all officers, the letters ''U. S."
Gothic design, of suitable height, each
followed by a period, embroidered in
gold or made of gold or gilt metal,
fastened to each side of the collar.
For all officers OF the staff corps and
departments, their distinctive ins 'uia,
