The PERFECT MlLlINER.
Originality and Neatness Arc the Things
That Count.

Originality in designing ard individu-
ality in style are qualities which count
for most in the milliner of to-day.
Variety is now the keynote. Instead
of one particular style there are many.
The day of zone idea" in a season has
passed.
To discover some new arrangement
for prevailing trimmings, to pat new
curve into a popular and becoming
shape, these are marks of genius.
Just such ideas as these or the lack
of them, simple and insignificant as
they may seem, make the differences
between the high-salaried and poorly
paid milliner. and bring success or fail
ure to the department in which she is
employed.
Perfection in detail is another essen
tial to the successful milliner. To be
artistic the trimming on hat must
in effect he carelessly and gracefully
arranged.
Stiff and prim looking hats are rare
ly becoming, yet at the same time, how
ever careless the arrangement NAV
seem, the must be no sighting of the
work.
The most loyal patrons will become
disguised with stitches that loosen
after few tines wearing, leaving flow
ers tumblirg off. feathers awry, anil
ribbon bows at "siXes and sevens."
To genius in designing and pains
taking work add artistic taste for col
ors, which must include not only a
knowledge of harmonies and contrasts,

BRAVE MOTHER IBRAHIM.
A French Woman Soldier Who Has Been
In Many Battles.

In Many Battles.
4 woman 20 years of age is an active
and useful member of the French army.
She has been wounded many,times, seri-
ously in many cases, but appears to
have many years of activity still before
her.
Her last adventure was TO fall off her
bicycle, which she had just learned to
ride, and open an old wound. She has
already recovered from that little acci-
dent.
Mother Ibrahim, as this remarkable
old person is called, is the cantiniere of
the Second zouaves. She has followed
her regiment all over the world, sharing
! all its perils and hardships. She ex-
posed herself to fire as cheerfully as the
bravest soldier in the regiment.
The cantinieres of the French army
are famous in song and story, and their
services are often very valuable. They
carry water and other kinds of drinks
( and refreshments, and many wounded
soldier has owed his life to their aid.
| 1t is peculiarly interesting to call at
| tention TO this old woman just now, be-
cause many people are under the inn
preston that women have only begun to
do extraordinary things within the past
/ few years. The venerable cantiniere
was hard at work, tramping round the
world and taking her part in battles.
years and years before the present craze
about women's achievements was heard
of. 1t will be found on examination
that in all ages some women have been
| in the habit of doing strange things.
Mother Ibrahim was born in Egypt,
the daughter of soldier of the great
| Napoleon. She married non-commis-
stoned officer of Turcos. who is now
| dead.
In appearance she is small, upright
and wrlnllled. Her eyes are black and
lively, her hair is white, but thick. Her
whole bearing is military and alert.
Her usual uniform includes zouave
turban and very loose zouave trousers.
She was therefore a pioneer of the
bloomer movement, although no one
thoughtofher as q great dress reformer.
She also wears the red ribbon of the
cross of the Legion of Honor, the mill
tary medal and the medals of the
Crimea, Italy and Tunis, all of which
have been conferred upon her.
She has so many wounds that she can
hardly count them. Nine she thinks

called upon to grasp the conception of
a jar. much bigger than bean pot, the
apparently exaggerated dimensions OF
these in which the thieves came to grief
is the least credible part of the story.
But even to-day, in regions of the ORR

prevailed, such as Turkey in Asia, AL

by MANY doctors. Women are often
treated specially for sick headaches, dys-.
pepsia, melancholy, or what is supposed
to be liver or kidney affection or heart
disease, when in reality the whole trouble
is with the reproductive organs. This
delicate and intricate organism and the
rational treatment for its peculiar all

has higher repute in this special dlrec-

EASTERN FAMILY JARS.
Pots Like Those In Which the Forty
Thieves Were Picked.

Pots Like Those In Which the Forty
Thieves Were Picked.
When the clever servant of Ali Bahia
brought the redoubtable "Forty" to
their untimely ends, It will be remem-
bered that each one of the two-score
thieves was squatted inside jar of
huge dimensions in the courtyard of
the man they had come to murder. The
manner of their takipg-off, it will also
be recalled, was decidedly oleaginous

of the term), as they were drowned in
a bath of hot olive oil. Whether the
oil smothered them or the heat killed
them has never been satisfactorily as
certained by the readers of the "Arabi-
an Nights" but one thing has at last
been established beyond doubt-that
the thing was possible, so far as the
size of the jars was concerned. To an
occidental mind, which has never been

in the left shoulder. in the stomach, in
the heel. in the right side. Bullets, sa-
bers and bayonets have inflicted them.
She has lost three ribs.
She was present at the assault of the
Malakotf in the Crimea, at the battle OF
Solferino. and took part in the Mexican
campaign.
After the battle of Sedan German
soldier smashed her left shoulder while
she was attempting to rejoin some men
of her regiment, who were being taken
prisoners TO Berlin. In Tonquin she
was picked up. with her arm terribly
mangled by three knife cuts. The sur
geons wanted to amputate it, but she
refused, and to-day she can guide a
bicycle with it.
After an accident at Toulon. where
she lives, she had to go toParis to UNI
