FOOD FOR BRAIN WORKERS.

DR.. Sophie Lepper, the English food
specialist, says in speaking of the
peculiarities Of various foods, that:
Blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food; no
heat or waste
Walnuts give nerve or brain food,
muscle, heat and waste.
Pine kernels give heat and stay.
They serve as a substitute for bread
Green water grapes are blood purify
ing (but of little food value); reject
pips and skins.
Tomatoes Higher nerve or brain
food and waste; no heat; they are thin
ming and stimulating Do not swallow
skins.
Juicy fruits give more or less the
higher nerve or brain, and some few,
muscle food and waste; no heat.
Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food, but do not give stay.
Prunes afford the highest nerve or
brain food; supply heat and waste, but
are not muscle feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from
IIIC NV C1.
Oranges are refreshing and feeding,
but are not good if the liver is out of
order
Green figs are excellent food.
Dried figs contain nerve and muscle
food, heat and waste, but are bad for
the liver
The great majority of small fresh
seed fruits are laxative
All stone fruits are considered to be
injurious for those who suffer from
the liver, and should be used cautious
ly.
Lemons and tomatoes should not be
used daily in cold weather; they have
a thinning and cooling effect.
Raisins are stimulating in proportion
to their quality.

Perugino 4Gs the inventor of a type
of beauty in his virgins which has been
elaborated upon by many of the sue
ceeding generations of painters. He
took as model a local type of beauty
still common in his native province of
st. Francis Of Assist. These women
have round and grave faces, with DEL
icately penciled eyebrows, somber eyes
and plainly arranged air. Perugino's
madonna has been the model of many
OF the later artists of repute, and today
is the generally accepted ideal. 1t has
strength and sweetness, and shows a
world of feeling in the tender melan-
choly Of an inclined head, in the dreamy
languor of the eyes and the pathetic
grace of the silent lips.
RaphaePs madonnnas show many
types and several of them are not I'M
like Perugino's and this is but natural,
for Perugino was his master. His most
famous madonna is the virgin with the

ton.

In the Christmas festival of all ma
tions the subtle influence of the virgin
makes itself felt, more so than at any
other time of the year, and while this
influence is the same tender thing in
the hearts OF all people, the individual
ideal of the virgin is as varied as the
play of sunlight in thunder storm.
The madonna as represented by some
particular painter becomes fixed in the
mind and all thought OF the mother
of Christ takes the form of that picture.
Grand and wonderful paintings of the
virgin abound in all countries, and yet
the faces portrayed are radically diff
ferent in feature and treatment

Botticelli, the illustrator of Dante,

construction of the head is the same,
the expression and flesh tints vary.

NEW CONCEITS IN RINGS.
The Jewels That Will be Worn This
Winter by Society Buds.

Rubies are always popular. General
ly they are regarded as the most de-
sirable gem. next to diamonds. and it
is even said sometimes that the blood
red stone holds higher place in girlish
fancy than the diamond itself. How
ever that may be, the ruby is the fav-
orite stone this winter. The engage
ment ring is of diamonds largely. but
there are rubies alternating with the
other stones. The effect of red and
white stones is beautiful, as every girl
knows, and, from the point OF taste,
no one can find fault with the maiden
for preferring her ring frightened by
the ruby.
The old fancy that there is a drop
Of hearts blood in the center of each
ruby has been revived this season. 1t
may no. be true, but the maiden who
gets a ruby or two with the diamonds
in her engagement ring is likely to
whisper it to her lover and ask him
what he thinks about it. What does
he think about it? That is his bust
ness-and the girls.
Among the jewels worn by society
buds this winter will be amethysts,
opals and the topaz. These stones have
passed through so many vicissitudes in
the favor of women within the last
fifty years that a girl is not sure today
whether she is invoking some super
stitiOus fate or not in wearing them.
She has a general idea that the opal
used to be unlucky, bu5 seems to have
emerged from it's hoodoo, and that the
amethyst and topaz are more fit for
equity old men who cling to old styles
than for fin de steele American maid
But she wears them, nevertheless, if
she can get them, and will even take
them from her old grandfather if he
will give them to her-which usually
he won't

One design is diamond snake curving

band from which ferns branch in all
directions in an airy manner, suggest

well known that the ordinary mar
quise" ring makes a hand look slender
and graceful. These new dinner rings,
which are like exaggerated marquise
rings, will therefore be sure to retain
their hold upon the affections of wom-
en-, because it will make the hand more
beautiful than ever. Not that women
are vain, but that they feel they owe
it to their husbands and fathers and
brothers to be as attractive as nature
will allow. And when nature will not
do enough in this direction, why, they
can call on art to lend a hand
AS TO ring settings, it is noticeable
that the antique, dull gold band is dis
placing the airy wire that has held
sway for years. What the woman of
today wants is a heavy gold setting,
an opal. With these worked up into
an up-to-date pattern, she is ready to
go to dinner, to be engaged, or to be
married. Her new ring is good form
fer all three.-New York Press.

The great artists Of each century,

How do Sweet Margarets dimples race
Around the roses of her face!
And | dare swear the force that stirs
The flower that doth her bosom grace,
Is that tumultuous heart of hers!
Who'll wager on the dimple race?
My glory, my glory and my bliss
That love can catch them with a kiss!
How do Sweet Margaret's finger-tips
Shield the rare ruby Of her lips,
But dare swear her snow-white hand,
That doth the crimson so eclipse,
Shall fall before her hearts command!
Who'll race the rOse-way to her fps ?

Love wins the ruby with d kiss.
