Dawn parties are a new society ex- pertinent in France, according to the Westminster Gazette. Invitations sent out from a country house at Amboise read: "The Baronne de c. requests the cup of coffee and hear the song of the lark on Saturday at o'clock in the morning. N.

The Times of India directs attention to the influence which the prevalence of. distress has had upon the statistics of crime in that country As the scar city of food pressed more heavily dur ing the last two years upon the agri- cultural population the number of of- fences gradually rose. But it is noted that the excess of crime was almost en- tirely confined to petty offences against property. This indicates that it was hunger which drove many of the of lenders to do what, under normal con- ditions, they would perhaps have never dreamed of doing. Indeed, the emaciat- ed condition of the great number of prisoners was further proof of this. A noticeable feature of the returns has been the increase in the convictions of old offenders, which leads one jail su- perintendent to suggest that "old of- lenders appreciate the advantage of iaiI life in year of scarcity"

An interesting use was made of an electric light in Paris the other day. "A jelly in the midst of which the elec- tric light was set caused a sensation at fashionable dinner party. The ef- feet was enhanced by the fact that it had been arranged as a surprise for the company. The dish had been on the table all the while, but it was con- cealed under a large silver cover, which in turn was hidden by masses of su- perb flowers. When the cover was re- moved the effect was e1ectrifying. Beautiful as it was, the guests insisted on eating it up.

The war records in Washington show that the first enlistment of negroes for service was by General Hunter in the department of the South in June, 1862. 1t was due to an emergency. General Hunter needed men and could get no white recruits, although surrounded by multitude of able-bodied negroes, idle, but willing and anxious to serve as soldiers. Soon afterward the War department authorized the enlistment of the blacks, and the names of 17s,5s5 of them are recorded as regularly en- rolled.

And garlanded me with a crown Of furze.
Rose o. the world. they go out and in,
And watch me dream and my mother spin,
And they pity the tears on my sleeping face
While my .oul's away in fairy place.
Rose O. the world, they have words galore,
And wide's the swing of my mothers door,
And soft they speak of my darkened eyes,
And what do they know, who are all SO wiser
Rose O. the world the pain you give
Is worth all days that man may live;
Worth all shy prayers the colleens say
On the night that darkens the wedding dayi
Rose o. the world what man would wed
When he might dream Of your face instead;
Might go to his grave with the blessed pain

While their lives red ashes the gossips stir

ADVERTISING.

Ask hundred men, "What is advertis-
ing?' and 80 of them will say that adver-
tising is-a advertising.
Advertising. as see 1t, is the announce
ment of anything by any medium Of pres
entation.
Advertising is commodity-as much
so as dry goods, shoes or flour.
Advertising is one of the five links in
the chain of business.
The advertising that does not pay is al
most always the advertising that has not
been given a chance to pay.
the advertisement with blunt pencil up
on pad of paper upon his knee or quickly
scribbles off his name and address-and
something else-upon pad on his desk.
He pays good money for advertising
space.
He fills that expensive space with the
careless thought of minute.
1t is estimated that the world spends
50, 600, 600, 900 year on advertising.
An intelligent estimate has not been
able to assume that this same business
world pays out more than one two-thou-
sandth of this total expenditure for the
preparation of its advertising matter.
If advertising is worth anything-and
every successful business man says that 1t
is-then some care should be given to it's
preparation, just as much as to the man

HOW TO ESCAPE COLDS.

Not by Coddling, but by Becoming Able
to Endure Necessary Exposure.
It is not always sufficient to point
out danger 1t is often of even greater
importance to show how the danger
may be averted Most people properly
recognize cold as ayoidable and think
they are greatly to be commended for
the prudence they exercise in protecting
themselves, but if they did but know it
they are really doing all they can to
make themselves susceptible to colds by
weakening their resisting powers
A German professor once wrote q
long treatise, with learned title, on
how to avoid catching cold After trac-
ing the history of colds from the earliest
ages, studying their causes and symp-
toms and cataloguing the remedies
which have been used by the most emf
nent physicians Of all times he conclud-
ed with short chapter on prevention
His plan was to inure the back Of
the neck to drafts by having some one
direct current of air upon it from a
bellows three times day
The writer had the correct idea, al
though its practical application was
clumsy and he was long time in reach
ing it The best and only way to escape
colds is to meet the causes that produce
them and not to run from them.
Let the body be hardened by cold
sponge bath or even cold plunge, fol-
lowed by brisk rubbing with a
"scratchy" towel, every morning Let
the clothing be adapted to the season,
though always as light as possible, but
keep the neck uncovered-no turned up
coat collar, no muffler, no boa. Never
let the temperature in the house rise
above 10 degrees in the winter. Air
every room Systematically every day,
no matter what the outdoor temperature
may be. Always have fresh air in the
bedroom. There is nothing poisonous in
might air, popular belief to the con-
trary Notwithstanding
In word, dom be always afraid OF
catching cold. don't coddle, but meet
cold and wet and changes of tempera-
ture like man, or rather like horse,
and you will then run a better chance
Of being as strong as horse
Of course you must strengthen your
armor where it is weak, but if you rec
ognize in yourself weak place, 'cold
spot. don't cover it up with more
clothes, but toughen it and tougher
your entire body until it is one homo
geneous resistant whole. Youth s Com

AN ILLuMINAToR.
A Bright Woman and Her Unique Pre-
fession.

A Bright Woman and Her Unique Pro-
fession.
In all the various employments gem
orally pursued by women the illumina-
tor is not one always found in the stu
dios of big city.
Among those who have made illumi-
nation profession Miss Alice Dunlevy
can be said by a course of winter study
to have acquired this accomplishment.
This clever artist was born of Irish
parents in Manchester, England. Her
father, John Intaglio Dunlevy, was an
inventor as well as printer, while his
wife, brilliant conversationalist and
fine singer, was the granddaughter Of
Thomas Hughes, who invented the spin
ming jenny.
This young couple, steering their
course toward America, brought with
them their daughter Alice, who, like
her father, had decided taste for the
art Of Illuminating No sooner here
than this small child spent all her time
and pocket money in haunting the
secondhand book stores, searching for
information in the work she loved SO
we'll. Being such tiny little creature,
one bookseller had box fitted up es-
pecially for her, SO by that means she
could reach and handle the volumes
herself. There she spent hours, gener-
ally finding some book which she car
ried away in triumph.
When only IS, she was admitted into
the School of Design of the Cooper in
stitute, through the influence of Horace
Greeley, who, securing a water color
painting of flowers done by this art
student, often resolved to put forth the
helping hand in her behalf.
In this school she made her mark,
graduating with honors and afterward
taking her place as the youngest teach
er in the same institute. As Peter Coo
per never remembered names, he always
designated Miss Dunlevy as fthat lit
tie girl either in addressing her or
asking her assistance in school hours.
At special reception given by Mr..
Cooper for the benefit of the pupils Mr..
Bancroft, the historian, was present, and
so pleased was he with the exhibit done
by 'sthat little girl" that he urged her
to make illumination her greatest effort.
Said this wise man: "Women are really
the only leisure class in this country,
and there is no better way to raise the
standard of refinement or cultivate a
taste for letters than by this special art

The Cooking of Game Birds.

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of life of ceaseless activity, dc
not take ON fat, and such should be
larded or cooked with slices of bacon OF
salt pork placed on them. Do not serve
birds with heads on and undrawn, as is
quite generally practiced, the latter
point being relic of savagery, the for
mer an offense to sensitive nerves 1t is
pleasanter to enjoy a bit Of choice fiesh
without being SO forcibly reminded that
we are eating dead birds. This is not
the only instance where realism is in
artistic. - Woman s Home Companion

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
Something About This World Famous Oh,
English Church.

Something About This World Famous Old
English Church.
The architecture of Westminster alb
hey dates back to remote period, but
long before any part of the present
glorious pile" was in existence Sax
on church stood upon the same spot
Many years before the conquest the
Saxon church was connected with a
monastic body Of the Benedictine order,
which gave the name Western monas-
terry, or Westminster, to its place of
abode, to distinguish it from St. PAUL s,
in London, which was known as East
Minister.
Considered architecturally, the first
church here of which we have any au-
thentio history was erected by Edward
the Confessor and consecrated on Holy
Innocents' day, 1866 The greater part
Of the abbey was built by Henry III in
the style known as early English. The
west front, with it's grandly beautiful
windows, belongs to the fifteenth cen
tury. as does also the completion of the
nave and the aisles The extreme length
of Westminster abbey is 511 feet, the
width across the transepts is 203 feet
and the width across the aisles 20 feet;
the height of the roof is 102 feet.
The fortunes of the abbey have fol-
lowed and are closely interviewer with
those of the naticn, and many, there
fore, are its historical associations
There the soyereigns of England have
been crowned ever since the conquest
The coronation stone, brought from
Scotland by Edward /, may still be seen
under the coronation chair used by
Richard H. This chair has ever since
been occupied by English rulers during
the coronation ceremonies.
Within the walls of the abbey the
funerals of many crowned heads have
taken place, and sovereigns and mem
bers of royal families have graves and
tombs beneath it's roof Oliver Crom-
well never wore crown, but his re-
mains were deposited for a time in a
vault beneath Henry WIS chapel with
pomp never surpassed by that of royalty
The south transept is known to the
world as the ''poets' corner" :" because
there, sleeping their last sleep, are
Chaucer, Spenser, Ben Jonson, Cowley
Dryden, Beaumont, Addison and Ten
nyson and near by are monuments to
Shakespeare, Milton. Isaac Watts. Gold
smith and johnson.
In the north transept are buried many
renowned statesmen There lie Pitt,

men of letters, generals, admirals and
other persons known to fame are buried
beneath the marble pavement or have
monuments by its pillars or on its his

what small managers are forming road
