and sixteen bookies went home with con-
siderably the worst end of the bargain. The
only chance they had to make up was in
the fifth race, when Lotus, at 6 to l, came
in six lengths good The crowd was large

systems she read Of like that applied by
ID. Schweninger, the German physician,
when he reduced Bismarck in weight to
the tune OF forty pounds in three months.
But she decided to create Templeton

cum bers, dry toast and hard biscuit, an
occasional bit of game and trife of black
coffee formed the daily menu, together
with all the fruit she cared for.
This diet in itself was shock TO Miss
Templeton, who had always permitted
herself every luxury in the way of eat
ing. But the diet was only part of the
system. She decided that seven hours
sleep night were enough, with 10 ST.

morning she was up swinging DUN bbells.
Then, after a hard rubbing, she took II

luncheon was always very light NJ cal,
and at o'clock in the afternoon the act
resS started out on a bicycle She usually
rode very slowly, but the ride consumed
two hours. With nothing particularly
captivating IN the dinner menu, the days
were pretty siresome.
As the weeks passed on Miss Temple

ercise, and during the last week she
claims to have consumed fully eight
hours day in riding, hiking. exercising,
bathing and in the hands of .Ier maid
And the best of it is that she never
looked better in her life than she does
today.
Della Fox, although a very small,
young lady, not standing a bit more
than feet in height. weighed las pouhds
at the beginning of the season. To be
artistically perfect she should weigh ll6
pounds. and she tried bIavely to reach
that point, but when she got down to the
i25-po1nd mark she gave up all hope of
further reduction.
Miss Fox keeps herself in training, as
ii were, by fencing every morning and
afternoon with either her maid or some
purely imaginary foe.
Fanny Davenport recently astounded
her friends, and almost killed herself
by getting rid of fifty pounds within a
few months. She weighed 200 ard got
down to $50.
Amelia STmmerville, within six
months, reduced from 2l0 10 1865 pounds,
but she could not stand the strain neces-
sary to maintain the minimum weight
for any length Of time.
Miss May Irwin is satisfied if she can
keep below the 10 mark, but she is
usually on the heavy side OF that figure.
She claims to have a sure cure for obes-
ity. but she has not the courage to try it,
as it requires of her first to write book,
and then live on the proceeds of the
sales

She recognizes the fact that the Unequal
ties OF nature are in different insur-
mountable lines, and that each are neces-
sary to the other for the highest develop
ment of the race. And that there can DE
no question of rivalry for power in the
natural laws that exist in the family. In
her secret soul she knows that her duty
to her husband and home does not end
at her own street door. She knows that
she has a heaven-given tight to stand by
his side, no longer as child In the eyes
of custom and state, but as his equal So
cially and politically.

"Because nature has been too generous
me-"
The little sentence uncovered an ocean
of voe. Miss Russell is feet inches i'll
height, and, according to the law OF
physical proportions, should weigh 1873
pounds. At that time she weighed 1G3
pounds, with the growing prospect OF
getting deeper INTO the trouble of super
fuous avoirdupois. Miss Russell now
weighs 1856 pounds, and if it were not for
the perpetual war which she wages
against nature she would propaply I'D
the scales at l9O POUNDS.
1t will interest q great many women to

of the women prisoners. In fact she ex-
celled in all varieties of crime, but every
thing was done with deicacy that be-

poisoned rose leaves into the wine cups
of the enemies she had doomed. and with
a playful smile languidly watched them
expire in fearful agony.
The ancients. while knowing more
about poisonous drugs than the experts
OF today, were always opposed 10 their
use. Even in tbs frightful wars of the
Carthagenians when one of the lesser
generals pro posed the use of poison TO do
away with the enemy. he barely escaped
violence at the hands of his own soldiers.

made their famous escape from the death

two men, but they refused to give Harris
a chance for liberty. In fact it was said
afterwards that Pallister wanted to kill
Harris before leaving, but the others
persuaded him not to do SO, as it would
take too much time. These four murder
ers detested Harris, and let no small OPP
portunity pass to make his last days
more miserable. He was poisoner, and
hence a monster to his fellow murderers.
New York at the present time has a
poison case on its hands which will go
down in criminal history. The death of
Mrs. Evelina M. Bliss, for which her
daughter. Mrs. Mary Alice L. Fleming,
was arrested on the charge Of giving her
mother some clam chowder containing
arsenic and anthony, presents many
curious features. The case has attracted
attention in all parts of the country, and
is so well known that no extended refer
ence to it is required here.
A glance at any history Of woman as a
criminal shows that poison has largely
figured in thelr murders. Psychologists
who have studied the criminal woman
assert that she is more cruel than the
r
reasons for this.
Euripides says: 1.-THE violence of the
OCEAN waves or of devouring flames is
terrible. Terrible is poverty, but woman
is more terrible than all else.''
Caro- says: 1.-THE perveristy of woman
is so great as to be inored BILE, even to its
I, victims"
Celtic, an author of the fifteenth GEN.
turv, says: "No possible puni shments
can deter women from heaping up cri me
upon crime. Their perversity of mind is
more fertile in new crimes than the i'm
asination OF a Judge in new punish
| ments."
Rykere says: Feminine criminality
is more cynical, more depraved and more
terrible than the criminality of the male.
