An Anomaly.

There Is an anomaly IN town, an anom-
ally which should receive an ovation as a
relic of times long past. The anomaly is
a very pretty young womanwho proclaims
openly that she is an old maid aunt. 1t
is a long time since an old maid aunt has
been seen outside of a story book. But
this young woman seems to fill all the
requirements except that she is not still
mourning a gallant lover lost in the civil
war-she is not old enough for that-she
is not mourning any long lost lover at all,
and she has not the preternaturally meek
and subdued though cheerful spirit with
which the literature old maid aunt is
usually endowed.
The young woman modern old maid
aunt happens to have older brothers and
sisters who haye families and who do not
live in their native town. They have the
usual ups and downs incident to family
life, whooping cough and measles, the
papa or the i'll or going away
and always sewing to do for the babies.
So the old maid aunt is sent for upon any
and all of these occasions.
Really she said one day last week,
relaxing for a few moments from the dig
nifty OF being housekeeper for Brother
John, 81 don't mean to imply that I am
SO very good, but I don't like to sew for
myself, and / do love to sew for other poo
pie. Why, / took two Of the baby's old
dresses today and made n good one out
of them. / nave travelled all over the
country after my relatives, and really l
have had an awfully good time out of 1t.

The FoIlfes of Fashion.

Necklaces, rings, amulets and glrdles
are old ornaments, but the modern brace
let is comparatively new In the carly
Biblical times jeyyelry was symbolical,
connected with religion, each form turned
out by the jeweler having a meaning.
Hence the ornaments taken from the dis
covered Egyptian tombs were by no means
regarded as mere pomps and yanrtles.
When the jewellers of the renaissance Pc
Rod took to copying old Etruscan and
other ornaments, they discarded the mo-
tives of the a~ncients and encouraged graft
tication of vanity. When BcEyenuto Gel
lini invented the pendant, he could not
have intended it to be worn by a lady as
an ornament. The treasure preserved in
the Bibliotheque Rationale in Paris is
carved on an ONYX, with a figure of Apollo
on the keystone of an arch, two of the
muses. on a pediment, accompanied by
griffins and chimeras.
It is difficult to imagine a lady of Queen
Victoria's time going to court with such
an rname round her neck. Humilia5-
ing as may be the confession, the woman
of the present hour would rather have
diamonds-sham stones, if real ones were
out of her reach. The lato Countess of
Claremont once went to court decked with
jewels dug from the ruins of Troy, and
lace on her dress that had belonged to
Cardinal Fieschi, the half brother of Ma
poleon. The close observer of follies and
fashions will remember the sudden craze
for long p of big pearls that set In two
seasons ago. Even the photographers had
to meet the occasion by laying in long
strings of wax beads, which were hung up
in their operating rooms ready to lend to
sitters. -Philadeiphia Ledger.

Coffee as a Medicine.

Women fond of coffee needn't fear its
effect on nerves and complexion, it seems,
after all. A woman recently made the
experiment of giving up her favorlte bev-
erage because SO many of her diet crazy
friends declared that it was injuring her.
She found that to continue her work with
any sort of success she must nave her cof-
fee, for without it her mind was inactive
and heavy. Her doctor told her that it
WIS not stimulating enough to harm her,
and that taken with sugar and rich cream
in plenty 1t was nutritious. The Medical
Times quotes an authority on the subject
of prescribing coffee as a medicine in GER
tain states of great debility and adds:
ssTea and coffee seem to be much alike
in many respects, but the latter is greatly
preferable as to it's sustaining power. 1t
would be a great advantage to u work
ing classes and a great help toward the
further development of social sobriety if
coffee were to come into greatly increased
use. and if the ability to make it we'll
could be acquired. AS an example of the
difference of effect of tea and coffee upon
the nerves, the writer notes what he be-
lieyes many sportsmen will confirm, that
it is far better to drink coffee than tea
when shooting. Tea, if strong or in any
quantity, especially if the individual be not
in very robust health, will induce a sort
of nervousness which is very prejudicial
to steady shooting. Under its influence
one is apt to shoot too quickly, whereas
coffee steadies the hand and gives quiet
nerves."
One of the most effective sleeping po-
tions known is a small t~easpoonful of COT
fee as strong as it is possible to make it.

or 20 minutes until the patient falls

About skirts one may confidently say

than any, as, while it has a graceful

Speaking Of crepons reminds me to say
that there are bayadere effects in some or
them. There Is also one weave where the
skirt is all like ssseeded" silk, with squares
of the crepon weave rising above that sur
face in graduated widths and at regular
intervals. The small squares at the top
measure about half an inch, and at the
bottom of the skirt they are two inches
square. So this gives the whole a baya-
dere effect. 1t takes a very clever dress
maker to cut a skirt of this kind so that
| all the blocks form continuous lines, but
it certainly is fine when done.
notice among these rich black skirts
some very fine arrangements of applique
lace, both white and black. One had a
heavy black applique IN a black Irish pop

others were of openwork. Under this lace
was a piece of straw colored satin. 1t was
beautiful. Others had fine cut steel beads
wrought along the pattern, and all IN

T,,e Model Hostess.

A woman may possess wealth Untold,
she may have the kindestof hearts and the
BRIGHTEST of minds, but unless she has ab-
solute control Of her feelings there will be

will display annoyance or furry, and tho

model hostess must TO all appearances be

though a guest or careless waiter mad
v~ertently breaks d bit of china which can

with a feeling of confidence, and though
in her heart she may be very dubious
about certain important details of her din

conclusion. A Hurried hostess or nervous

1t is not safe to prophesy as to what
fashions will prevail or even exist three
months from now-that is, if the prophet
values his reputation. In the spring even
the manufacturers said that blouses were
deome to oblivion, and here I find more
than I ever saw together before in n Of
the largest factories.
When l asked the proprietor how this
happened when he had told me months
ago that blouses were tout for keeps, " he
replied that there had been such a demand
for them that they had been forced to run
their factory to its Utmost capacity to sup
ply it. but" he continued, "you will
notice that two-thirds of them are black
taffeta, and the other third are of dark
silks, and they are all made in one general
style, with fine tucking and cording as sole
trimming"
And so it was. Very neat and even
striking effects were obtained by that sim
pie means. Some Of them had lines of
narrow tucks singly and in clusters across
the front. These were set in waved lines,
diagonal ones and horizontal as well as
perpendicular ones, SO that each was indi-
vidual and, moreover, pretty.
Some OF them had yokcs, pointed, curved
or straight, narrow or deep, n some had
none. All had plain hand finish at the
neck, but many were quite ornate at the
wrists, the most OF them having cuffs with
narrow frills up the opening. The sleeves
were a sort OF cross between a leg O. NUT

ship have been caused by Incompetence or
Indifference or both. Those of us who have
been at the front know the necessities of
wal must cause great suffering even when
the best is done to modify existing condi-
tions. But there was no excuse for send
ing the wounded on the Seneca, no xcuse
for using the Seneca without first making
the ship decent and fairly comfortable,
and absolutely no excuse for sending her
off without proper supplies. It was a great
wrong, and the wrong has been repeated
in the Concho, the Alamo and the Leona,
which nave since arrived in New York
from Cuba in even worse condition han

troops to Cuba are In no nj hospital
ships, but when sick and wounded are put
on board a transport it becomes for the

though there vas ample time to inspect
them and put them in fairly decent shape
before sending them off with sick and

Eeatness In Dress.

There is an exquisite charm about a
neatly dressed woman. She does not wear
her hair twisted up carelessly, as if just
about to fall over her shoulders. Her
gloves are not ripped at the seams, nor
any buttons missing from her boots. Her
veil does not reveal a hole over her chin,
nor does the binding of her skirt show
ragged in places. Not many women show
their tidiness in all these little details, but
it is a pleasure to meet the girl or woman
who is, to use a slang term, well groom
ed" TIL cloth gown of such a woman
fits her without a crease, and there is
neither speck nor spot on it. Her linen
collar AMI cuffs are snowy white and re-
main properly fixed in their places. Her
gloves do not wrinkle, but button smooth
" over her wrists. Her shoes are kept clean
and polished. Her bonnet or hat is pinned
on straight, and her hair is neatness itself.
She is the picture of delicate finish and
wholesome order. Would that we could
como across her somewhat er.-Phil-

They bring an air Of respcctabiitty-to the

behind them and a very large assortment

On the left is o box containing u men,

the Royal lottery to settle Disputes as to
numbers or premiums. Eachsf1ryman has

pute. The Thousand IN FRONT have ytoo
much reverence for gray hairsto risesup
and dispute anything.
At the front Of the stage, where ~the

the brass cage, and that settles the busi-
ness. You win or you lose, and the
Royal lottery is so sorry If you losethat ii
at once issues another lot of ticketssso you
can win next time.
The drawing begins. To show the pop
ulace how fairly and squarely a gambling
business can be conducted the huge brass
globes containing the numbers are turned
round and round by two Of the gray haired
vice presidents. This shuf1es the numbers
so that no favoritism can possibly be
shown to any particular Number. This
numbers are printed on beads about the
size of a marble. The brass globe turns
round. A bead falls out. One Of the
oherubs screeches tho number. On the
other side of the stage another brass,g2obe

SHE STARTED THE ROW.


Miss Jennings, Who Dared to DAnounce the
Surgeon General Of tho Army.
Miss janet Jennings, tho Red Cross
nurse whose outspoken denunoiation of
the manner In which wounded American
soldiers have been shipped home from
Cuba has stirred up the investigation
which is now a ttracting SO much public
attention, Is an energetic young woman
whose home is in Monroe, Wis. She is not
a nurse by profession, but a woman jour
nalist, although she has had both training
and experience as a nurse. 1t was in both
capacities that she went to Cuba 81 ar
rived at Siboney in time to take caro- of the
volunteers who had been wounded during
the 1lrst fight in the advance IN Santiago.
She attached herself to the BED Cross
corps there and did heroic work In clean
ing and organizing hospitals.
When the transports were piled full OF
injured soldiers to be sent home, Miss Jen-
nings secured transportation on the Sen
eca, and it was her account Of the fearful
sufferings on that voyage, mainly from
lack of medicines, proper food and sanitary
accommodations, that has stirred up a
hornets nest around the ears of Surgeon
General Sternberg and General Shaftcr.
Miss jennings has not been content with
being interviewed and writing her own
stories. She has been to Washington and
told her story in person to President Mo
Kinley.
Said Miss Jennings in a recent inter
view: There are no Drawer men living,
no Drawer men dying. The hard, cruel
part of it is that great suffering and hard
