The Laugh Of n Woman.

A woman has no natural grace more
bewitching than a sweet laugh. 1t is
like the sound of flutes on the water.
1t leaps from her heart in a clear.
sparkling rill. and the heart that hears
It feels as If bathed in the cool, ex-
hilarating spring. Have you ever pur-
sued an unseen fugitive through the
trees. led on by her fairy laugh? Now
here, now there-now lost, now found
Some of us have; and are still pursuing
that wandering voice. It may come to
us In the midst Of care or sorrow, or
lrksome business and then we turn
away and listen, and hear It ringing
through the room like silver bell with
power to scatter away the Ill spirits of
the mind. How much we owe to that
sweet laugh! 1t turns the prose of our
life into poetry; it filings showers of sun
shine over the darksome wood In which
we are travelling; 1t touches with light
even our sleep, which is no more the
Image OF death, but gemmed with dreams
that are the shadows of Immortality.

TIE AGE OF LOVE.
Mature Woman Now Rules in Place
of the Bud.

Women marry later in life than they
used; maidens who have passed their
thirtieth year may now claim that they
represent the most perfect and advanced
type Of maidenhood, and look down upon
girls who marry before twenty-five as
very much more akin to savages, for 1t
ia a well-known fact that the age Of mar
rage advances with civilization. Every
where the more mature women Ii to the
fore. The young and inexperienced bud
has ceased to be the reigning queen OF the
hour. She has been forced to yield her
place to the maturer woman, the woman

tastes Of men In this regard seem to have
undergone a complete revolution. and In
stead Of fiuttering about the inexperi-
enced girl, talking pretty nothings, they
are matching their experiences. broaden

and beautiful woman. And as the litera-

In this heated season 1t Is scarcely
necessary to caution people to leave
their windows open when the gas is
lighted, but 1t is a good rule to remem-

atmosphere of a room than six or eight

DOES POLITENEss PAY,
One Of the Experiences That Makes
1t Seem Doubtful.

Aumusing Journal)
fhe outer door to the office building
was a massive affair that swung either
way.
Inc man who entered was in a hurry,
but he considerably looked behind him
to see that he did not let it swing in the
face OF anyone who might be following.
A woman who was entering seemed
to be paying no attention to the door.
80 the man held 1t open for her to pass.
A thought that occurred to the wo-
man Just as she got to the doorway ap-
peared to make her doubtful as to
whether she wished to go in or out.
The man still held the door open.
The woman said: II wonder IL have
the paper that he told me to bring to
his office" and began to search through
the little bag that she carried in her
hand.
The man said-well never mind what
he said. He still held the door open in
order to prevent 1t sweeping the wo-
man into the street.
THE man said: Pardon me, madam,
but am In hurry"
The woman said; "Sir"
The man said: II cannot remain here
and hold this door any longer"
The woman said: "Sir, you are the
most insulting man ever met"
|
The man spoke softly to himself, the
woman entered and the door swung
back with great force.
The woman looked scornfully at the
man and said something about telling
her husband how she had been insulted
The man made no reply, but later h.
was heard to say: And yet people
claim that 1t pays to be polite"

"HOUsE NERVES."
A Set Of Ailments which Amict
Those Who Remain I'm Doors


An eminent medical authority. who
has devoted great deal OF time 10 the
study Of woman and her nerves. has
given the name Of house nerves to the
peculiarly distressing as well as de-
messing set Of ailments with which
people who remain indoors too much
are afflicted. According to Life and
Health, all over Europe the rush OF ex-
istence is playing sad havoc with our
sensitive cerebrospinal fibers. We recog-
nize all the symptoms which the inven-
tor of house nerves describes as quite
common in England to-day. They are
low spirits and broodlng over wrongs,
sometimes real, but more often !magi-
nary. great irritability and morbid
habit of mind generally. Women who
are inclined TO be delicate and who are
afraid to go out owing to the weather,
are those who suffer most from this
malady. They are always imagining
that something terrible is happening to
their husbands or children when they
are out of sight. They conjure up acci-
dents of all sorts, analyze their feelings
and lose their power Of will.
The woman who gets house nerves
usually begins to study herself, her
wants, ailments and loneliness to
painful degree, until at last she thinks
she Is on fair road to an asylum.
There may be happy lands-say Boeotia
or the peasant State Of Bulgaria-where
nerves are unknown. Nerves are be-
lieved to affect the Inhabitants Of South
ern Europe far less than those Of the
North. The difference is probably due
to the climate; that OF Southern Europe
allows of life being passed more in the
open air, and sunshine and ozone are
known to be great nerve TONES. In
Russia, nerves are attributed to the
consumption Of tea and Tolstoi.
Europe Is not the only sufferer from
the disease. There 10 no country In
the world where house nerves are more
common than in the United States ant
the rule applied to Europe as :egards
North and South may also be applied t
this country for the same reasons.
Fortunately for those afflicted. thu
disease is not without remedy. and tn
prescription Is simple and very agree
able one. There Is no help to be obtained
from drugs or doctors; all the toxic
and wines and elixers prepared by tn
chemists only tend to make matter
worse. All that has to be done Is t
take walks in the open air and sunshine
Day visits to others, attend teas withou
drinking too much tea and go in 10
gaiety and innocent amusements gener
ally. Morbid thoughts must be represse'
as they rise, or they should be expelle
NV thinking of a necessary duty.

their neighbors' pedal extremities with
the useless projection of the old-style
shoe.
There have been many styles of shoes
worn by different styles of men. but the
pointed toe maintained its supremacy
longer than any Of them. But. like AL
else, 1t has had to give way to the dc
tates of Dame Fashion and fall styles
show a wider range Of round and square
toed shoes than has been in stock for
many long day. while there is less va
riety of pointed-toed shoes seen than
ever before.
The representative Of one shoe COM
pany said: In the future pointed shoes
may be worn more or less for evening
wear, but they will eventually become
out of date for the reason that they are
more apt to break around the tips and
the dealers are accused Of selling an in
ferlor article. The shoe that Is coming in
the place of the pointed shoe is one THAI
is known as the bulldog which has
a raised, round. blunt toe. The reason
for calling the shoe bulldog is because
of the shape of the toe. which Is some
thing like a dogs head in form. This
will be the fashionable shoe this fall"
The manager of another store said:
Pointed shoes are going out Of style
for the reason that different designs
in footwear are merely fad or fancy.
The bulldog shape is more comforta-
BILE shoe and is more senslble-looking
article than the old style Of pointed shoe.
There is no doubt but what some people
will regret the change In style, but such
/ is the law of fashion"
| Another reason for pointed shoes going
out Of style Is the fact that cheap man
ufacturers are making them at much
more reduced price than manufacturers
Of high-grade shoes can compete with.
The fine city trade Of the East and
public opinion in general have set de-
cidedly against the needle-pointed shoe
and the ''coin" and bulldog shaped
lasts now have the preference.

INSPECTION OF BAKERIES.
An ImpOrtnt Sanitary Regulation
Observed In Baltimore.

An ImpOrtnt Sanitary Regulation
Observed In Baltimore.
maryland Medical Journal)
The enforcement Of rigid and efficient
food inspection has shown itself to be
Of great value in a large city. and.
while some Jealous officers or inspectors
may have done injustice to dealers. still.
on the whole, this method Of protecting
the public against bad food supplies
has been Of the greatest benefit.
Milk was one Of the first articles Of
food to receive close attention, and now
an inspector Of bakeries in Baltimore
will, It Is said, remedy some Of the ex-
listing evils in that industry.
While the outside Of loaf Of bread
may reach very high temperature in
the process Of baking. II 10 doubtful II

or impurities In this part of the bread

Of cleanliness. Il has often been report
ed that the bakers sleep on their bread

and it 10 this glazing wrong that will
first be righted. Then bakeries in dark
cellars and unhealthy places will no
longer be allowed.
The city chemists will look for pois-
onous and dangerous products in fancy
cakes and candies, and for the detection
Of such things the municipal laborato-
ries Of chemistry and bacteriology will
be called into reQuisition.
Now. not only Ia the milk inspected,
but the dairy tables will be carefully
looked into, and in the near future q
vegetarian will be added to this food
detective force.
When such work is undertaken in q
truly honest way by competent men,
it can be easily seen that much benefit
will rebound to the consumer Of these
products, and no one but the unclean
and dishonest dealer will object to any
reasonable inspection.
The food detective force in some for
eign cities Is a very important part Of
the municipal government, and demands
large appropriations. while the city
fathers Of these enlightened places find
1t economy to pay. Unfortunately, the
inspection in Baltimore can only be
carried on within the city limits, and In

to supply milk to the city, but not neal
enough to come under the inspection
laws.

until the dealer who sells impure good

and the supply of pure and wholesome
articles Of food. such as bread ant
milk, will be cheapest in the end.

POINTED TOES MUST GO.
No More Toothpicks in shoe Leather
Now Says Fashions Decree.

The pointed toe shoe Is going out Of
style. Such Is the decree Of fashion and
when fashion dictates few men or women
dispute the decree. says the New York
Journal.
Hence the passing Of the "toothpick"
point lie a fact that Is just forcing Itself
on manufacturers and dealers. Some Of
the leading shoe dealers Of New York
confirmed the statement that in Its place
Is appearing the more comfortable round
toed style Of footwear.
The exodus of the "toothpick" marks
an epoch In the history Of footgear. The
