HER SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.
How an Ingenious Aunt Saved Her
Nephew from Drunkenness.

How an Ingenious Aunt Saved Her
Nephew from Drunkenness.
1t was striking couple that entered
a carriage last Wednesday in front of
the Hotel Savoy. Both were tall, Of
fine figure and easy grace. says the
New York Herald. The man looked
on the sunny side Of so; the woman.
some years younger, was of the Juno
type. Their eyes and compilations had
a dash of the Spanish, while their talk
and manners were French.
Curious history that man has had"
remarked hotel lounger. He comes
of a rich creole family In the Pont-
chartrain district of Louisiana. They
were immensely wealthy before the
war and managed to hold on to n ost
of their estates. His wife. also cfe-
ole, was educated with the most ex-
pensive polish abroad. Though mar
ried now for many years, they're lovers
yet. He was a wild young blade,
drinking. dueling and gambling. His
family tried all means to curb him,
but he broke every bit.
"One night he was taken home par
alyzed with champagne. His old
maiden aunt had an inspiration. She
hurried off trusted negro to New
Orleans for burial casket-silver
handles, satin lining. Flowers were
picked from the garden and she ar
ranged candles and crucifix. When
the casket arrived the paralyzed youth
was placed carefully in it, while the
dear old schemer stayed up with "the
remains" 1t was some time before
he recovered enough consciousness to
grasp the funeral outfit, but the old
lady's artif1ce did the business. 1t was
the eye-opener he needed. That was
his last debauch."

Fashion Is the Dictator.

''Not only" said the mill agent, "do
fashions change in bewildering way
and a most expensive way to us manu-
facturers, but they have way of
changing SO radically that new goods
may be wholly unstable If they bear
any resemblance to the dress goods in
demand last year. Why? Simply be-
cause a woman who buys new dress
wants a pattern and a color wholly
different from that of her last years
frock, in order that there may be no
question as to Its being a new frock.
She not only wants different design,
but a very different one. SO that he,
or, more probably. she, who runs may
see that it is a new dress."-Scrtbner' 8.

SILK AND TAILoRS.

The fstter u Chinamsn Gets the netter
Pleased He Is.
The first person In all the world who
raised silkworms for the purpose of
robbing the cocoon OF Its soft cov ,ring
was the Empress Si-Lung-Chee. who
reigned In China 200 years B. c., Gays
Lippincotts. She is now worshipped as
goddess OF the silkworm. Once each
year a national festival is held In her
honor. The reigning empress and her
maidens resort to the temples OF 81
Lung-Chee and pay her. in flowers and
spirit money. an installment upon the
debt which China owes to her; for did
she not make the important discovery
whereby the poor may earn !ife's ne
cessities and the rich may rustic in
shining garments?
Perhaps more people wear silk In
China than In any other country; for
plain raw silk is almost as inexpensive
rs cotton. Even for winter garments
this material is made to serve, with
layers of wadding placed between the
outside and the lining. As their gar
ments do not go out OF style. 1t Is not
necessary to buy new ones until the
old ones are well worn.
This is a great item Of saviag for
every one but the tailors: but II the
people followed the example of the
tailors themselves there would be still
less for that craft to do. Like the feet
of "shoemakers' children" the Chinese
tailors, while at their work. are as
nearly bare us possible. When well
fattened their uncovered bodies suggest
the animals which Americans inclose In
q sty. The more like a well-fed porker
a Chinaman becomes the prouder he Is
of his looks. for corpulent man is re-
garded by his almond-eyed brethren as
a high type Of humanity
In the tailors workroom, which Is
frequently open on all sides, the passer-
by may see from five to ten men oquat-
ted around low. matting-covered ta-
BILE. Each man is in undress uniform,
consisting of his cue, a pair OF slip
pers and pantaloons about six inches in
length. They work both for shops and
for individuals. receiving about Sc
month: yet somehow they manage to
keep fat.

Character In tho Chin.

If you have protruding chin, you
are of the "get there" type. Success
full people always carry their chins in
this way, with compressed lips.
A retreating chin shows a yielding
nature, easily discouraged; unless its
owner has other well-developed facul-
ties to counteract the influence of this
chin he is mentally, morally and ply
sically weak.
A pleasure-loving person has a small,
well-rounded chin, with red cushion
of flesh upon it. If dimpled it belongs
to a coquette or one who loves to be
petted and admired. Its owner should
live to be round old age.
Broad chins signify nobleness, square
chins executive ability and strong de-
sire to hate; chins with circular lines
about them denote drunkards. Slo-
venly folk have wrinkled chins.-Ex-
change.

N.,r Ir.a for Aluminium.

A new nnd important use Of aluminium

They Are Fearful That Reciprocity WIZ
RHYt Their Inter.st.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-The lumber
and other interests. which might
affected by reciprocity treaties. are.
wa ehiag closely through their repre-
sen.afives here all that concerns their
special interests. The principal repre-
sentative of the lumbermen Mr..
Theophilus funls, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National
Lumbermen's association. He has had
several interviews with Mr.. Kasson, who
is in charge of reciprocity negotiations
for the state department., and has re-
ceived letter from him, announcing
the success of efforts to prevent Argen-
tine striking blow at American pine:
Mr.. Tunis has also been informed
that cable from our minister at Rio
announces that the Brazilian govern
ment will remove the discriminating
exactlons against our shipowners.
which should result in the resumption
OF our flour trade with that port. He
is of opinion that the discriminating
clauses of the Dingley bill caused these
decisions of Brazil and Argentine.
The lumbermen now are chiefly ap.
prehensive that their product may have
to bear the brunt of Canadian reci-
procity negotiations and Mr.. Tunis
authorized the following interview on
this phase of the reciprocity problem
at is evident the administration is
bent on commercial treaty with
Canada under section of the Dingley
bill. AS chairman of the executive
committee of the National Lumber
mems association, have said to Com
missioner Kasson. what we said to the
last congress, that the great interest we
represent, employing more than 100000
workingmen and directly supporting q
population of more than 100000 peo-
pie, are unalterably opposed to sharing
with coal and fish the burden of
policy which the great masses of our
people are utterly Indifferent to, but
which Is urged on the administration
by few Americans, interested in the
seal fisheries and few other American
citizens, who are owners of Canadian
forests. AS matter of principle,
policy and business, the American STU
dent of everyday affairs can see no
more reason, justice or demand for
reciprocity with Canada than with her
imperial mother. our best customer for
our wheat, corn, hay, cotton, lumber.
etc., all of which she buys, not on any
sentimental grounds, but simply be-
cause she wants them.
