its Bssuty and Symmetry IL the Talk Of
~. AL Europe.
The most beautiful queen Of Europe
is Natalie of Servia, and her greatest
beauty Ia her neck. The world has Just
been let into the secret of the method
which has largely enabled her to de-
velop this charming feature.
The queen takes frequent and regular
exercise with Q heavy pitcher on her
head. The result of this is to straight
en- and strengthen the neck and to give
II the form which the highest standard
OF female beauty requires. Not only
does the exercise add to present beauty,
but II arrests the ravages which time
makes more quickly in the female neck
than in any other place.
Natalie Is woman whose career
has perhaps been more exciting and pic
turesque than that Of any living oc-
cupant Of European throne. Her
beauty is of an order that is in keeping
with the vigor Of her character.
Neither, amiability nor feminine gentle
ness enters into the latter to notice
able degree.
Natalie is now living in the dignity
proper to the rank of queen-dowager,
while her husband has a pension, but is
not allowed to enter his own country.
He spends his money as soon as he gets
IT, in drink and rlotous living. The rest
Of the quarter he lives by begging, bor-
rowing. sponging and playing cards.
The queen, on the other hand, engages
in the much more laudable and whole
some employment Of preserving her
neck and shoulders.
II you could obtain admission to tn.
grounds of the queens residence near
Belgrade, at about eight o'clock in the
morning. you would see her majesty
taking brisk walk, with her pitcher on
her shapely head. She is accompanied
by dame d'honneur, who is not herself
mn expert in the art of pitcher carrying.
Queen Natalie has very abundant
black hair and rich coloring. She is
very finely developed woman. Her fig
nre is very strong and erect and her car
riage is perfect. for her favorite exer-
else tends to develop the latter quality
as well as to beautify the neck and shoul-
ders. These are adorable and beyond
all criticism. She takes care to dress
in way to show these to the best adj
vantage.

whist was round one OF the green silk,
entirely veiled with green mousseline

look to the dress. A long silken sash
Of green was wound around the waist
and tied at the side with small loops
and long ends. The throat, which was
cut square, was finished with twist Of
the same silk. The sleeve puffs were
of green silk and were quite full. They
were puton to look like small balloons or
the mythical wings of n goddess. The
floating ends Of the sash, the sleeve
puffs and the lightness of the nous

ularly airy appearance.

are none capable Of giving more real
satisfaction than the single hollyhock
that used to grow against the garden
wall or fence by the side Of grandmoth-
er's house. The seedsmen have had
craze for making single flowers double,
and for me, at least, they have very
nearly ruined some of the old-timc
beautiful blossoms. They have doubled
the beautiful blossoms Of the single
hollyhock and made peony of it, much
to my distress. This is kind of inn
provement that hasn't at all improved,
and it is time to call halt to this tam
pering with our single flowers. Many
single blossoms are much more attract
i've than they could possibly be doubled,
and it is crime against flower lovers
to deprive us of the single blooms.
Give us the oldtime favorites and
give them to us unchanged. from their
cld-time form and color. Particular.
ly is this to be insisted on in the case Of
the old-time single hollyhock, for it's
beauty was Of a sort to make its dis
appearance little short Of n calamity.

CHILDREN AND FLOWERS,

Why the Keeping of n Small Garden IL q
Precious Bit of Training.
1t is a sad reflection to me to see how
many children there are who have nc
real love of flowers. They may be at
tracted by pretty and fragrant bios.
SONS, all children are that, but as for
cultivating and giving the tender care
that plants require, and thus learning
some Of the sweetest lessons in life, they
know nothing, and all about them are
acres of untitled soil.
The keeping of a bit of garden, if only
few feet Of earth, nay, If only a few
pots in a sunny window, is a valuable bit
of training, and cannot fail to inspire
love of the beautiful that will have
an important influence on the charac-
ter throughout life.
1t should be remembered that exam
pie is the first element to be considered
in educating the childish mind. Do not
try and force a child TO keep a bit OF
garden, but keep one yourself. Sow
seeds and plant slips, and spend spare
moments caring for them, and water
night and morning. and always have
your child with you; be talkative and
wax enthusiastic, never mind whether
SOU are understood or not, 1t will not
be long before the child will initiate
you, and want garden Of it's own, and
whea this is brought about, you may
rest assured you have sown a seed in
the childish heart that will grow to u
bloscoming Of great beauty. - N. Y.

REMOVING STAINS.


Several Prescriptions Which Arc Certain
ly Worth Trying.
Varnish or paint stains should first
be covered with butter or sweet oil, and
then rubbed with turpentine. If it is
an old stain, the turpentine may be re-
placed by chloroform, which must, OF
course, be used with great precaution.
Fruit stains will generally yield if you
rub according to the grain Of the mate
rial, with little salt and water. Sher-
ry will take out claret stains, If they
are rubbed gently. Blood stains should
he soaked with petroleum, and then
washed in warm water. 1t is said that
no stain will resist the following recipe:
Put into large bottle two quarts Of
clean spring water, add q piece of white
amber the size of n walnut, piece of
potash as big as a hazel nut, and two
lemons curt into slices. Let it stand "a
hours, then strain and keep it in we'll
corked bottles. Damp the stain with
this preparation and rub the place with
fresh water directly afterward.
Finally, try this prescription for TAX
Ing stains out of silk or cloth: Pound
some French chalk until very fine, and
mix it with warm water to the thickness
Of mustard. Put il on the spots. rub it
lightly with your finger, or the palm
Of your hand, then put sheet of blot
ting paper or brown paper over the
spots and press firmly with warm iron.

THE BEGINNING OF NATIONS.

The Sardinians are descended from
the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians,
1omanA Vandals, Saracens, Genoese,
Pisans, Arganese and Spaniards, who,
at one time or another, inhabited the
island.
The unspealiable Turk is descended
from a race of thieves and murderers,
who first appeared in history in the
tenth century. They came from the
steppes of Central Asia and were of
Tartar origin.
The Spaniards were originally called
Hispanions. There is tradition
among the Spaniards that they are the
descendants of Tubal, fifth son OF
Japhet. The Romans conquered the
country in 206 B. c.
The inhabitants Of Portugal are de-
Bcendants of the Alains and the visi-
goths who settled in that country In the

Plea for tho Hollyhock and other Old

There are fashions in flowers as we'll

spise the mere taking up Of certain
flowers, because it is "the thing" there
is still some satisfaction in finding
ones old-time favorites, neglected in
these later days, being brought to the
front and given the appreciation that
they honestly deserve, because what
starts in whim Of fashion may end in
the genuine love for the old-fashioned
blossoms, and their continued cultivs-
ton long after "the fashion" has be-
slowed its attention upon some other
fad. Some of the old-time favorite
flowers have come back to popularity.

GRAVEL CURED
Says John J. NeilI.
$500 Turner Street,
PHILADELPHIA, PENN'A.

A healthier, heartier, happier man
than John j. Neill, of 1850 Furner street,
Philadelphia, could not be found in a
days search. The fact that he is still
alive is constant wonder to his friends.
In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer
indescribable miseres from stone in the
bladder. Consulting an eminent physi-
clan in Philadelphia, he was told that
surgical operation was necessary. So
much did he dread the result, for il un-
successful it meant death, that he put
off the evil day as long as possible
While in this frame of mind, he heard of
