CULTURE OF MIND AND BODY.
The One Is No Longer Developed at
the Others Expcnse-RRtiOnRI
Education.

"What does the accumulation of
knowledge profit a person, if in amass-
ing it he loses the still more valuab
gift of health?" asked a New York
school-teacher the other day. "The
mind up to comparatively recent
years." she added, "has been developed
at the expense of the body. A num-
Der of delicate, highly-strung children
have broken down under the strain
and the monotonOus grind of the
cramming system, which has induced
many of the nervous ailments to
which the present generation is pc
culiarly susceptible.
"But the people of America are be-
ginning to appreciate that the more
rational mode of educating the young
is to train the body and mind in such
fashion that both may advance, Ms
far as possible, at an equal rate. This

FRESHENING HATS.
for Faded Flowers Some
Helpful Hints.

Hats are easily done over if one has
any taste in millinery. Faded flow
ers, or flowers that are ragged at the
edges do not look well, particularly
if they are of light colors. 1t is best,
as soon as the weather really is cool,
to substitute fresh ribbons for faded
flowers, and add few bright leaves or
some darker style of trimming There
is a perfect craze at present for the
new style of hat--the rough straw
worn down over the face and trimmed
with double bows of black ribbon,
with buckle in the center and some
bright flowers in the back under the
brim. The same shape has been worn
all summer with flowers and rosettes
of chiffon. These can easily be ripped
off, and the black ribbon bows make
the hat look as though it had just come
out of a bandboX. Some of the dark
CT colored flowers can be freshened
again by cutting of the edges with
| sharp scissors. OF course, if they are
faded, the only thing to do with flow
ers is to throw them away, for they
are the poorest kind of tawdry finery
! that can be worn. Chiffon and NOUS
seine de sole that have become soiled
and dusty should share the same fate.
There is nothing that can be done
that will make them possible to be
worn again, but they can be replaced
by fresh ribbon and stiff quilts. Os-
trich feathers that have gotten shabby
would best be sent to the cleaners
and recurled, and are then good
/ trimming for the autumn. The long
quilts curled over at the ends cannot
have much done to them. They must
follow in the path of the faded flow.
ers and the dirty chiffon. It does not
cost great deal to have hats cleaned

everything just before he died a year
ago. Deacon Gosset said that Sallie
looks so poor and miserable. And she's
got lot of children, so you didn't
miss much by not getting jim" and
with another laugh Mrs. Sprague went
away.
Miss Biggs had arisen with her Wis
itor, and listened to her with apparent
unconcern, a dull red which had crept
into her cheeks being the only sign
that Mrs. Sprague's words aroused any
interest.
But when the latter had gone, she
threw herself into a chair and buried
her face in her hands. A tumult of
feeling took possession of her, aroused
, by the memories which those names
had stirred up. She had not heard
them for so long, and no one but Mar
tha Sprague would have dared!
1t was all so long ago-20 years
that the pain and shame oft had grown
dim. And he was dead! Yet was it SO
long ago? 1t seemed but yesterday
that he was with her talking of their
coming marriage. She had loved him
so, and had been so proud of him
though she had not said much about
it; it had never been her way to tall
n great deal. Then came that dreadful
day when they told her that he haG
gone away and married Sallie, with hei
yellow hair and pink cheeks. That aw
full day-she could remember the
shame and agony of it yeti And now
he was dcad-had been dead a year
There was no feeling of anger in hel
heart toward him; there never haC
been much. She had known that he
was weak-and Sallie had led him on

Sprague's words about her looking
poor and miserable.
She was glad that she was suffering

| her old black alpaca gown, which she
had carefully brushed. Fortunately,
the day, for the beginning of autumn,
was cold enough to warrant her wear
ing her winter cape, which hid the
worn spots in her waist. She had
freshened her bonnet with new ribbon,
so that, as she started to the station
next morning, she looked really very
well. The excitement of the occasion
gave color and warmth to her face.
Life was not so hard with $4,000 in
prospect, She stepped along briskly.
One of the uppermost thoughts in
Miss Biggs' mind during the trip to
| Plainville was the stone which she
could now put TO her fathers grave.
1t should be a fine one, and she would
order it that very day in Plainville, as
soon as her interview with Lawyer
! Penny was over.
She found the latter awaiting her
He was an elderly man with kindly
gray eyes.
After ne had made various explana-
tions regarding Miss Biggs' legacy, he
said rather hesitatingly:
"My late client was about to fore
close the mortgage, but perhaps you
will be disposed to exercise little
clemency, and extend the time. IT a
sad case. If James Mayhem had

"Who?" interrupted Miss Biggs,
sharply.
The lawyer looked at her in surprise.

mortgage would, no doubt, have been
lifted, but dying so suddenly, he left

FOOLED OLD BARNUM.

man of. 10 years came in the hotel and
sat down.
"Tell him about it, Bill" said the
drummer. The old man, whom every

more. l made up my mind to get the

Shin Creek, now called Lew Beach,
when l caught dandy trout. I won't
tell you how long it was, but it
weighed 5A pounds. The question
was how to get that fish down to the
Crystal palace in New York. 1t was

FALL FASHIONS.
That Are Being Used in
Wraps ana Gowns of the

The three-quarter coat, with a skirt

a tall, well-formed woman. 1t is
oftener, however, more unbecoming

coat or basque-bodice that is slashed
adapts itself better to figure exigence
than the straight edge, which has
either too much wavy fullness in the

natty in effect, useful and stylish in

elaborate decoration, there is no radi-
cal change this season in the style of
making the tailor gown, and good
taste is still shown in the construction
of both skirt and bodice In the first
place, elaborate effects would be out
of place on a tailor gown designed for
any sort of practical wear, and then
there are certain limitations due to
the weight of the fabrics composing
them, even supposing that trimmings
were allowable.
For elderly women are some new
shawl-shaped capes, almost as long
as a shawl proper, formed very much
like the newest fur capes, These are
made variously of corded silk, plain
