Though the March winds are yet blow
ing. saws the Philadelphia Times, the
filmy summer shirt waists are now re
ceiving their perennial welcome. And II Is
a more enthusiastic welcome than ever
before. The shirt waists to be worn by
the summer girls of 1877 are wen deserN-
ing all the admiration they are receiving.
They are better looking than In other
years. and are made with more care. The
materials used are more effective. Many
odd little touches in the way of frills and
groupings of tucks are introduced, and,
incidentally, they are more expensive Tne
new shirt waists show the only large
sleeves of the season.
Those which are demanding the highest
prices are made of transparent fabrics.
They are so cheer that the color beneath
them shows through effectively. Linen Is
much in favor for these transparent shirt
waists. 1t is always in the soft fawn col
or, but comes in a variety of different de-
signs. Some of the newest patterns have
much the appearance OF grenadine. ON
ers are exquisitely embroidered with flow
ers. This material sells from 80 cents to
rs cents a yard. 1t makes a shirt waist
of great beauty made up over geranium
pink silk or any brilliant color But when
silk proves too expensive a lining II Is a
sensible plan TO wear with such a shirt
waist colored batiste corset cover.
A new material which bears the French
name of neigeuse Is to be much used for
shirt waists this season. II comes In a
number of pale shades and Is carefully
hecked with white. 1t sells from 80 cents
to 30 cents a yard.
The Swisses are prettier than ever and
are showered with spring and summer
blossoms. These fiower-stamped Swisses
can be bought for about 30 cents yard
Serpentine null is a good new material
for shirt waists. IL is cool and sheer,
yet strong enough to endure much hard
wear. Foulard lawn is much cheaper,
selling for IS cents a yard, but 1t Is a
good material for shirt waists
The shirt waists show two decidedly
new collars. The petal collar Is extremely
pretty IL is Of linen cut in the shape Of
petals. The petals fall away from the
neck. They are white, lined with a colored
linen, which generally corresponds with
the prevailing tint OF a shirt waist.
Another new collar Is a straight clerical
affair, fastening at the back. 1t Is made
with a bit of an outstanding edge ell
around the top
The backs of the new shirt waists are
a trifie different than those of last sea-
son. The newest is the box-plaited back
This Is made with a double box plat In
the middle and single box plat on either
side. Others have merely a deep yoke An
old design seen in many of the latest shirt
waists is 10 have the yoke continue over
the shoulders so that II Is seen from the

careful attention at night. A charcoal
tablet can be taken at night just before

teeth are sensitive to heat or cold the
sensltlveness can be relieved by an APP

religion. | select religion from all the
expressions of his life because you can

bound up with it's belief in spiritual

he belongs to the nineteenth century;
in spirit he holds close communion with

aVerted foes disarmed, material assist

mountains and marvel not.
Some men find comfort in philosophy;
misfortune fills others with fierce pride

of Nephi seek analogy and example in
the things which befell their ancestors

The Stone Age in British Columbia.

When l arrived on this coast in 1854
the Indians generally made and used
implements of stone, such as arrow and
spear points, knives, adzes and axes,
and continued to make and use them for
years after that. The material they
used was ebert, jade, a black and gray
slate, and dark and gray basalt.
think l may have seen the process OF
making these articles when l first came
here, but am not certain. However,
know pretty we'll how they were made,
at least by the Indians inhabiting this
island. A black bear skin was spread
on the ground, with the hair side down;
then flake of ebert, or jade, or of ba-
salt, first rOughed out by striking two
pieces together, was held on the bears
skin between the fingers and Clipped
into shape with another stone, or
bone, by gradual pressure. In this way
they soon formed very perfect arrow
heads, some having points as sharp as a
needle.
The base of the weapon was worked
out by simple pressure, then inserted in
the cleft shaft, and securely held in its
place with pitch, asphaltum, or q glue
made from the fms of the halibut The
larger spear heads were usually made
Of slate, split into flakes, worked out,
and then rubbed until polished. Their
adzes and axes were made OF ebert,

Wooden Shoes Fashionable,

WoOden-sOled shoes are getting to be
quite the proper thing in New Kensng-
ton. Society circles don't recognize
them, as they are not just the proper
thing with which to whirl through the
mazy music of the waltz or to step the
fairy trippings of the polka. But for
the purpose they are intended they are
all right, and are worn daily by dozens
of men. These shoes look heavy and
cumbersome. They have leather up
pers, a wooden sole from one-haH to an
inch in thickness, and on the under side
Of the sole Is an iron, horseshoe-shaped
guard to prevent 1t wearing out too soon.
The wOrkmen at the tin mills use them
in doubling" When the hot sheet iron
comes through the roll the workmen
grasp 1t In the tongs, double it over and
stamp on 1t to flatten it down at the fold.
AS 1t is almost at white heat a leather
sOled shoe would burn up in no time so
the dOubler wears a wooden-soled one.
He only wears one, as all the stamping
is done with one foot. They are as par
tiCular about these shoes as about those
for fancy dress. They like maple wood
shoes, because they are not so thick and
heavy as paper The make of the shoe
is important. 1t has to be bOx-toed to
prevent sore feet. Altogether they are
rather particular about these homely
Dutch-lOOking articles of footwear. and
they cost from 81 to $3.50 each.-Ken-

SuperstitiOns About Numbers,

The superstition that thirteen is un-
lucky, which is traced back to a sacred
source, meets with as many cOntradic-
tiOns as combinations. The fact that
the horrible fire at the Paris Bazaar
started at Booth 13 was telegraphed all
around the world, whereas little notice
is attracted by Nansen's success with
thirteen men. At one time two was
dreadful number in England, owing to
the dynastic disasters to all mOnarchs

through all his life was two, and who
could wish for better luck than came to

TO your bow? Three, which since the days
of PythagOraS has been the divine num-
ber, shows that it is not invariably for
tunate, for, though the Fates are three,
so also are the Furies The Graces are
three, but so are also the judges in Hades
and the heads Of Cerberus. Then there
are records Of the three disloyal tribes
in Welsh history; there are the three
robbers in OriOn's belt; there were Three
Tyrants at Athens, and three in mythOl-
ogy is as unlucky as it is divine. Just
so clearly as it has been shown that the
unlucky two can be lucky and that the
pleasant three can be unpleasant, the
followers of the late Captain Fowler
would show that the unlucky thirteen
can be the luckiest number there is. So
we may well regret his departure, while
we wish success to his assOciates.-Bos-

Henry Clay at Sixty-fve,

In an article on when Henry Clay
Said Farewell to the Senate" ON March
81, 1912, after thirty-six years in public
life, John r. COyle, in the September
Ladies Home Journal, presents this
graphic pen-picture Of the Great Com
mOner," whose close friendship he en-
joyed for many years: 'Mr. Clay lin
1S42l was 65 years old, at the very zenith
of his great popularity, the notable cen
trail figure in the arena of politics and
craftsmanship. More than six feet tall,
slender, erect, graceful and commanding,
he was the persOnifcation of dignity and
noble bearing. He was perfect master
of the language, tone and gesture, and
possessed of a voice remarkable for it's
volume and range, and It's capacity to ex-
press every shade of feeling Of passion
Of the human soul. Deep, full-toned and
melOdiOus, it was indeed magical in its
power Of controlling the feelings of those
who listened to it's varying cadences and
exquisite mOdulations An admiring BIZ
ographer adds to an analysis of Mr.. Clay
as an orator: His mouth large and
prominent, upper lip working quietly, or
in agony, as occasions require; his eyes
resting in calmness, or beaming with
lively emotion, or sparkling with strong
feeling, or flashing with high passion
like the thunderbolts of heaven in the
of storms; his long arms hang
ing easy by his side, or Outstretched, or
uplifted, or waving with grace, or strik-
ing with the vehemence of passion, his
fingers pointing where his thoughts di-
rect AS an orator he drew upon his
every resource to charm alike the ear
and eye, and was unquestionably the
most fascinating public speaker of his
day and generation"

The Fruits aud Vegetables of India.

The natives Of India are vegetarians
They have for centuries cultivated veg
etables, yet 1t Is only recently that, un-
der English supervision, the cultivation
of vegetables has been brought to a high
condition. The result is that beams, peas,
beets, onions, cabbage, lettuce and many
other specimens Of vegetable growth are
provided In great quantities, and are sold
very cheap. The muskmelons grow to
perfection OH the sandy river beds, dur
ing the dry season, when the river is low.
Oranges, bananas, custard apples, qua
vas, pOmegranates, leeches, pepeetas,
lines, lemons, dates, figs, cocoanuts and
mangoes grow to great perfection. All
these fruits, with the exception of the
grated mangOes are very cheap. l have
bought two dozen bananas for cents,
and oranges are rarely more than cents
o dozen. The mangoe season is short,
lasting only about two months. The
fruit is considered by many to be the
most delicious known to man. The man
goe is about the size of Bartlett pear.
1t has a smooth, tough, green or yellow
skin. II is eaten best with spoon. It's
taste is difficult to describe, but by imag-
lining, If possible, mixture OF equal
parts OF perfectly ripe Bartlett pear,
Crawford peach and King apple re-
duced to firm, juicy pulp, one might
gain some faint conception of this really
superb fruit-Vicks Magazine

The High Handshake Passe.

Etiquette has been defined as 'the oil
that makes the wheels of society run
smoothly" and no one will deny that
reasonably fixed code of social Observ-
ance is useful and even necessary, AYERS
an exchange. But how deliciOusly funny
some of our customs are! One of the
most absurd of these, the "high" hand
shake, is to be chrOnicled thankfully as
rapidly becoming obsolete. It has for
several years been the absurdest bur-
lesque of friendly greeting.
The custom of shaking hands in token
of cordial feeling had it's origin in the
ancient habit of kissing the hand of ones
superiOrs in rank in token of fealty or
respect. Gradually the hand clasp of
equals was evolved from the ceremony
and has continued in favor Our grand
fathers graceful habit of kissing the
hands of the women they wished to
honor passed into disuse with their other
courtly manners when their picturesque
costume of silk hose, buckled shoes, vel
vet and lace ruffles was abandoned for
the seventies of their modern garb.
There is an eternal fitness" even in
small matters, and the simple handshake
seemed more in consonance with the
simple dress of this century. The high
handshake," in which the hands are ex-
tended to the level of ones nose, and
there grasped with a single movement
as if to avert a blow, can claim affinity
only with the clowns motley" A glad
farewell!

Water Drinking.

To keep in health a person should
drink from two to four quarts of water
each day. The system requires to be
cleansed and its organs flooded with wa
ter, Besides its cleansing efficacy, water
absorbs effete matter and carries 1t
through the system. The purer the wa
ter the greater the absorption. Some
diseases Of the kidneys have been known
to yield to generous drinking of pure
spring water. Beer, tonics and alcoholic
drinks cannot take the place OF pure
water. In many cases kidney and liver
troubles have been traced to the use of
beer or alcoholic drinks. It has been as
certained by the medical experts that
rheumatism, local heart trouble, indi-
gesti0n, painful swellings, eruptiOns,
liver and kidney disorders, are caused
mainly by general or local impeded cir
culation. The best tonic and blood pu-
rifler Is natures own medium-pure

A Substitute for Rubber.

The question of a substitute for rubber
has already engaged the attention of
many minds. The demand for rubber
increases steadily, and the supply is
limited, but out in California they think
the problem has been solved, and by a
newspaper reporter, too The inventor
uses gum from a tree Indigenous to
California, and San Francisco syndi-
cate has purchased it's rights The sub
stance is said to resemble vegetable glue.
1t is secured by making an incision in
the large root Of certain tree Under
this incisiOn hole is folded like a cup,
or else tin vessel is placed, into which
the thin and nearly colorless juice runs.
The juice flows rapidly for the first ten
or fifteen minutes, and after two or
three days exposure to the air and sun
light layer Of gum is formed over the
Juice, which is then removed, and the
crust or layer of gum gradually reforms.
