A Remedy for Hoarssness.

II you are troubled with hoarse-
ness here is way to get rid OF 1t.
The advice Is given to the Morning
Advertisers readers by u famous
throat specialist.
Nothing is better for hoarseness
than the inhalation OF steam. Take
teaspoonful Of compound tincture
OF benzoin and put it in a quart Of
boiling water. Make funnel out OF
a piece Of newspaper, place it over
the vessel containing the boiling
water and inhale the steam through
the small end. This should be done
every three or four hours. The per-
son should not expose himself for ut
least two hours after each inhalation.
In from twenty-four to thirty.six
hours the hoarseness will disappear.

as we'll as for all ages. The conse-
quence OF this painful custom is. you
can tell the age OF every lady you
meet. and know whether she is mar
ricd, precisely as though she was
labeled or you were a census taker.
But then, OF course, as the ladies' in
Japan don't care who knows it. there
is no fun in finding out In this coun-
try it is different. Horses are looked
at in the mouth to tell their ages.
False teeth in the mouths of human
beings give no indications OF the age
of their wearers, and the dress Gus

girls wear clothes OF their grand
mothers and the grand dmOthers rig

PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Girls, Do Not Neglect the Little Detail,
of Your Toilet.

OF Your Toilet.
ct should like to call halt" said a
woman, ION the lack of thought and
care that most women put upon their
| personal appearance. Now, l know
very well that the average woman pays
a great deal of attention to such things,
but the trouble is that what attention
| she does pay is of the wrong sort; it
directed toward things that are OF no
vital consequence, If not absolutely
| wrong. She's like the man who had
great deal of taste only it was all
bad. The average woman that one sees
upon the streets, in the shops and
| aboard the street cars is first and fore
most rarely dainty-a criminal act
where a woman is concerned. Dainti-
ness, however, does not imply costly
| frocks, loves of hats and lots of lace
and jewelry. 1t doesn't even include,
although it is undoubtedly enhanced
by the severity and simplicity that are
so admirable in a tailOrmade costume,
but which, as every woman knows, cost
like everything. 1t does imply and in
clude, however, absolute cleanliness
from top to toe, absolute neatness and
an answering regard for the eternal
fitness of things. No matter how plain
or even poor the attire may be from
necessity. so far as choice goes, it may
always keep clear of pendant skirt
braids, frayed edges. run down boot
heels and spot and soil. Just look at
the army of working women that the
elevated trains bear down town daily.
Typewriters, stenographers, clerks or
whatever they be, they are, as rule,
tricked out in finery, instead of the
sober, sensible garments suitable for
business wear. It's fluffy white wells
and feather boas and flower and feath-
er-laden hats. The very same girl, too
whose hat is heavy with the biggest
and brightest of roses; whose once
white kid gloves are the grimiest, and
| who fiourishes a coarse-embroidered
handkerchief redolent of cheap perfume
| is also sure to be the girl whose shoe
buttons are conspicuous for their abb
sence, whose collar is soiled, and whose
dress skirt and shirt waist are losing
their connections. Ii that same girl
however, would take tithe of the mon
ey and care that she wastes upon her
roses, her laces and her perfumery and
put 1t upon repairing, cleaning, and
above all, seeing to it that her garments
are suitable for the occasion on which
they are worn, the gain would be i'm
measurable. Therefore l say that II
would be better for most women if they
gave more care and attention to theii
personal appearance"

Water on Guard.

The treasurers OF the Bank oi
France are said to be better guarded
than those OF any other bank in the
world. At the close of business
hours every day, when the money Is
put into the vaults in the cellar, ma
sons at once wall up tho doors with
hydraulic mortar. Water is then
turned on and kept lunning until the
cellar is flooded. A burglar would
have to have work in a diving suit
and break down a cement wall before
he could then start to loot the vaults.
When the officers arrive the next
morning the water is drawn of, the
masonry is torn dowE and the vaults
opened. 1t wovid be good thing iu
this country il oome way could be
found to drown the preferred commits
sioners OF cooperative banks before
they get away with the banks entire

Honest Indian.

Bishop Whipple OF Dakota. who has
dono such noble work among the
Sioux Indians, recently said to a re-
porter: The Indian is proverbially
honest, unless he is demoralized by
drink. In thirty-six years experience
yith the Indians 1 never knew one to
tell me q lie, and l never had thing
stolen by one. l asked an Indian
once If it was safe to leave my prop
erty in my wigwam while l made q
distant journey. He laughed and said :
Quite safe. There isn't a white man
within one hundred miles of you ="
And yet the narrow headed politician,
who gets into congress through igno-
rance and fraud, says the American
Indians-the only real Americans to
be found in this country are not fit
to vote. Honest Indian; that Is so.

Caesars Statue Change, Color.

Chicago Tribune: II Augustus Caesa,
could come TO life and see his statue as
it now looks, down in front of the art
institute, that warrior surely would
drop dead again." 1t and that of
Hermes are painted a bright orange.
The two statues, together with the
larger one of Flora, have stood in a
niche over the entrance almost since
the first opening of the art institute.
But ii is safe to say that not half of
the people who entered the doors ever
gave them thought and scarcely a
glance until yesterday.
She, too. stood out in bold relief
against the smoky background of the
building yellower than any of the fall
crop of pumpkins. People who went
hurrying along the street stopped the
instant they beheld them.
Talk about impressionism," said q
man who apparently knew something
of art, mot the most rabid piece of
work in Europe could compare with
that"
Those inside. who understood that
the bright yellow was only a priming
preparatory to. a coat Of bronze, en-
joyed the joke immensely. Like the
boy with the trick on All Fools' Day,
they stood behind the glass doors and
waited to see the effect on every new

USED LADDER TO GETIN BED.

Remarkable Experience of an American
Tourist In Ireland.
An American who lately visited Ire
land writes: In the hotel at Dublin was
bed so large and so high that it
seemed a tableland of mattress over
shadowed by a cliff of headboards. 1t
seemed preposterous that any one
should monopolize a bed of such size
and attempt to warm it. By proper di-
vision it would have supplied family.
When it came time to retire the ques-
tion was not how to get Into" bed, but
how to get ION" the bed. The top mat
tress was almost chin nigh, and it
seemed that to reach it there would
have to be hard cisslb or a desperate
leap. While the problem of retiring
was under consideration a dark object
was seen in one dim corner of the Vastly
bedroom. which was imperfectly light
ed by solitary candle. This object
proved to be a movable stairway,
mounted on rollers. When II was
pushed against the behemoth bed the
problem of how to retire was immedi-
ately solved. One had only to ascend
the stairs and then fall off into the en-
bracing depth of this most remarkable
bed
