ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kets free of dust, fill a tub half full of hot

Dip up and down and wash gently with

Fighting Fish.

It is said that the favorite sport Of
the siamese is fish-dghting. So popu-
lar is 1t that, according to the Fish
Trades Gazette, the King of Siam de-
rives a considerable revenue from the
license fees exacted for the privilege
of keeping fighting fish. The fish are
described as being long and slender,
mot thicker than a child's finger" and
very ferocious. The moment they are
placed together in a vessel Of water
they dart at one another, and the on
lockers become so excited over the con-
test that they wager anything they
have at hand on the success Of their
favorite fish.

districts where diversified farming can be car

season, in one section OF the Northwest, over
$4,000 was paid out for cattle. while a large
exporting firm has purchased in another dis

be seen that farming in the Canadian North

for myself. I went alone, but I never
felt the absence Of companions, for my
expeditions always took place before
or after the hour at which she might
be expected Mling on the promenade at
the hour when she drove by.
I had come to understand the routine
of their daily outing. They were man.
ifestly living somewhere to the west
OF the town. Every day they went
through the islam. lanes at the back of
it until they were a mile or two to the
east, and then, descending Stewards,
drove home to the promenade and the
road that skirts the sea.
Now n day, with no set purpose
that I would have confessed, even to
myself, I took the western road and
went into the country. Some dozen cot
tages and a little pier stood at the
margin Of the sea. Inland a few houses
were seen among their fruitful Or
chards. But at the edge of the slope
there was a little space of wild wood,
and this, as I looked across the flower
grown hedge, tempted me to rest. 1
climbed this intervening barrier and
lay down in the shelter of a little oak
tree.
1t may be I slept. Certainly I was a
long time under the oak before I be-
came aware that I was not the only
occupant of the wood. Someone was
singing softly, and I could hear foot
steps moving slowly through the fern.
I could tell by the sound that the new
conner was stopping here and there to
pick flowers.
Now, I had enjoyed the solitude, but
even at the first the person who was
coming towards me did not strike me
as an intruder. Her singing was in
absolute concord with my mood; it
was as If n had thought of a poem,
and a moment later found oneself hum
ming the melody that would make of
it a perfect song. I lay and waited,
and the singer came nearer.
The song ceased when she presently
appeared. She and I were a little
startled.
"Then you are not dumb" I cried
involuntarily as I started to my feet.
She hesitated, and a little smile play
ed about the corners of her pretty
mouth. "It is my aunt who is dumb"
she said. Then, with a sudden recov-
cry of her dignity, II don't know why
you should ask"
But that was a matter l had no great
difficulty in explaining ere l came back
to London the happiest man on Gods
earth.

A SECRET.
Why She Has the Most Beautiful Neck
In All Europe.

Why h Has the Most Beautiful Neck
In All Europe.
Not every woman can follow Queen
Natalie's method of keeping her neck
the envy of nearly every woman in
Europe, but her majesty's plan will
furnish a hint which may easily be
applied to all, says the Washington
Times. Natalie is regarded as the most
beautiful queen in Europe, and her
greatest beauty is her neck. The world
has just been let into the secret of the
method which has largely enabled her
to develop this charming feature. The
queen takes frequent and regular exer-
cises with a heavy pitcher on her head.
The result of this is to straighten and
strengthen the neck and to give it the
form which the highest standard of
female beauty requires. Not only does
the exercise add to present beauty, but
it arrests the ravages which time
makes more quickly in the female neck
than in any other place.
II you could obtain admission t. the
grounds Of the queens residence, near
Belgrade, at about 8 o'clock in the
morning, you would see her majesty
taking a brisk walk with her pitcher
on her shapely head. She is accom-
panied by a dame d'honneur, who is
not herself an expert in the art of
pitcher-carrying. Queen Natalie has
very abundant black hair and a rich
coloring. She is a finely developed
woman. Her figure is strong and erect
and her carriage is perfect, for her IA
vorite exercise tends to develop the
neck and shoulders. These are ador-
able and beyond all criticism. She
takes care to dress in a way to show
these to the best advantage.
From chin to bust Queen Natalie's
flesh has the firmness of marble, al
though, unlike that substance, it is full
of life and blood. Her head is placed
on her shoulders after the manner of
that Of the Venus of Milo. There are
no %protruding bones, no wrinkles. no
hollows, neither is there any supsrf1u-
GUS fairness. The whole is a beautiful
poem of form.
The exercise in which Natalie owes
so much of her charm is one which has
been practiced by women of the poorer
classes in many countries from the ear
Hest ages. Rachel, 1t may be remem-
bered, met Jacob when she was going
to the we'll with her pitcher. The
women Of oriental countries, of Greece
and of Italy, have always been accus-
toned to carry pitchers and other bur-
dens on their heads. They have little
idea of identifying themselves when
they do this, but nevertheless they are
doing 80. The American woman who
worries about the shape of her neck
probably never thinks that its defects
are due to lack Of exercise tending spe-
cially to strengthen this part.

IF there is anything l have entire faith
in, in the way of medicine" said Mrs. Ann
T. Devenish, Of Castleton, Reno County,
Ransas, to a reporter, it is Dr. Williams
"Why2 do you ask. Well, for seven
years l was a wretched sufferer from nerv-
Gus debility and rheumatism. My wrists
were SO swollen and my fingers 50 stiff
that I got no sleep at night. Ny hips, back

badly affected, and The numerous physi-

mind, viz, that my days were numbered,
and they could do me no good.
81 could not leave my bed without help,
and once lay for three weeks in n posi-

had ended my suferings. One day about

II was struck by what l heard and pro-
cured a supply about six weeks ago. l had
not got through the first box when I re-
ceived extraordinary relief. Hope returned
and l continued with the pills, every day
adding to my store of health. My nerves
became tranquil, the rheumatic pains began
to leave me, palpitation of the heart ceased
and my kidneys and liver grew normal.
81 can tell you of three persons of Castle
ton to whom I have recommended these
pills (all of whom were suffering with heart
difficulty Mrs. L. Smyth, Mr.. John Pur-

what Pink Pills did for them, and they also

WHITE TOPAZ.
Beautiful Stones to BE Seen at the
m Palace.

Beautiful Stones to BE Seen at the
Diamond Palace.
, Every day in the week and every
hour in the day one a see crowds
around the show windows Of THE
CHICAGO DIAMOND PALACE. The
cause of it all is the now widely known
White Topaz. The White Topaz, or
carbonated diamonds, have come to be
recognized as the nearest thing on
earth to genuine diamonds, so near in
deed is 1t that the proprietors of the
DIAMOND PALACE 90 not hesitate to
place real diamonds in their windows
amidst their display of White Topaz,
and allow the public to pick them out
at the selling price Of the Topaz.
The latter stones have all the lovely
b1illiancy of the diamonds, sparkling
steadily and with wonderful fire. The
thousands of these stones in the win
dows forms one of the most gorgeous
displays and has proven an attraction
which is one of the features Of Chi
cago.
In order to find out the advertising
medium best suited to their business,
this enterprising concern offers to send
a genuine White Topaz to all those
who will cut out and send them their
advertisement, which appears else
where in this paper, together with Csc
in stamps.
THE DIAMOND PALACE, like all
successful institutions, has many imi-
tators, who endeavor to sell cheap
rhinestones and other pastes claiming
they are topaz. We caution the pub.
Tic to be careful, as THE DIAMOND
PALACE, American Express building,
Chicago. are the sole importers OF these
stones.
