the schooner a momentum which car

denly slid off the bank and veered
into the City of Toledo, her jibboom
striking the steamer just forward of

TREES AND PLANTS.

THE climate Of Mexico is SO varied
that in that country can be raised any
product of the tropics or the polar re-
gions.
PERHAPS the largest camellia in cx-
istence is at Piluitz Castle, near Dres-
den, Germany. The tree is about
twenty-four feet high and annually
produces about $4,000 blossoms.
THE witch tree" of Nevada and

TOP BUREAU DRAWER.
Said 10 BE an Absolute Revelation Of .
WOman's Character.

Harriet HoltCahorn says that wom-
ans bureau drawer-the top drawer,
that either is or Is not catch-all-re-
veals character more than any OF her
possessions, and could almost tell her
fortune by looking into it. Is 1t a pot
pourri-gloves, faces, hairpins, frizzes,
collars, letters and hundred other
things2 This denotes IN uneven, UNI
systematized, happy-go-luclSy life, one
that fate loves to pursue. The orderly
woman who establishes standard for
people to live up to always keeps this
bureau drawer in order. Her life Is Of
the tranquil kind. The woman who
fills hor bureau with boxes possesses an
excess of order that makes life burden
to the ones who live with her. She IL
conservative and not very adaptable
nor tolerant. While order Is the first
lane to Heaven, order does not by any
means produce Heaven. However, the
bureau drawer never poses. You may
profess sentiments that are not yours,
and your milliner and dressmaker lend
you personality which you do not pos
sess, and pose successfully for what you
are not; you can buy correct books and
pose for litterateur by living up to
their bindings. In your house and its
furnishings you can buy artistic effect
and harmony of color and grand pic
lures, and even the atmosphere that
belongs with these evidences Of culture
will hover about You can have Louis
Quinze room without knowing why you
have it, and you can buy your coat OF
arms and your antiques and your an
cestors, and you may escape the soul OF
all that they represent and the world
will be none the wiser. But let the
world have peep in the top drawer of
your dressing table and 1t will find out
things about your real character of
which 1t has never dreamed.-Philadel

INTRODUCE THEM.
Toys and Girls Should DO Presented
Formally to Adult Visitors.

Boys and Girls should DO Presented
Formally to Adult Visitors.
1t is q common oversight In too many
households not to introduce the chill
dren to visitors. Guests are formally
presented to the adult members Of the
family, but the younger boys and girls
are either ignored altogether, or else
introduced in general way without
giving their individual names. This
course is almost certain to result in
awlswardness and constraint on their
part when grown. There is differ
ence between putting children forward
unduly and giving them their just need
of recognition. And pray take pains,
in making introductions, to speak the
names distinctly, and, above all things
else, do not omit their mention. How
many of us have been annoyed to have
a hostess greet an intimate friend, to
whom we were entire strangers, with
some such salutation as: 20 Henry, so
pleased to have you meet Miss Blank,
leaving us to discover his surname as
best we may. 1t is not bad plan for
the family to rehearse by themselves
some of these little social formallties--

Bread crumbs rank among the

to coarse powder, they may be used
to clean delicate lamp shades, screens,

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
getup apleasant warmth.
The lungs should be filed through
the nose with fresh air from the win
dow and cmptied through the mouth
with quick election. This should be
done four or five times. Then the po-

chin held up. Then rotation OF the
body as in the first illustration. This
tends to make the waist slim and mo-

ternatcly stretching and relaxing I'M
der the hands as the motion is de-
scribed.
The second sketch illustrates the
exercise for widening the chest, in
crcasing its 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
briskly.
After the exercise cold sponge bath
should be taken, accompanied by vigor
GUS rubbing, and every other week G
cupful of common salt should bt

when this is used it must be remem
bered that soap cannot be used, as the
two do not agree.
After dressing slowly breakfast
should be eaten of fresh fruit, grair
foods and eggs or chops, according t.
ones taste.
At night, just before retiring, thu
same exercise should be gone through
and sponge wet with alcohol rubbed
over the body; bathing Che feet il

and healthy also, as it helps one t.

RAILROAD FIGURES.

IT is said that at least 400 car fender
patents have been taken out.
OF the 101 900 miles of railroad in
the United States In 1880, 1900, or
nearly one-half, were west of the Mis-
sissippi river.
The length Of new railroad built
during the year ended on June 30,
1898, was 44O miles, and during the next
succeeding year 8s miles.
In nearly all the American cities the
street railway companies say that the
rapidly extending use of the bicycle
has hurt their business greatly.
DURING the past 12years nearly 10000
miles Of narrow-gauge railroad have
been either converted to standard
gauge or abandoned entirely in the
United States.

Ohio and the yards to be built at Cum

Chatting Dish Parties.

So great is the rivalry among the
owners of fine chatting dishes and choice
recipes to be cooked in them that
cooking clubs, of both men and women,
frequently meetand prepare luncheon
or ten o'clock supper entirely over the
chaGng 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 n superabundance
of one kind of food, each guest is mott
fed of the dishes that will compose the
menu, or permitted to send in word OF
the concoction at which he is most
skillful. In this fashion chatting dish
party may have much of the delight
and terror of n summer picnic.
