HEALTH AND NUTRITION.

Absolute perfection of physique is
Inattainable, but it is not Impossible
to reach something near it, and the
way to proceed is by keeping the blood
and then the system, in proper work
ing order, says he American Queen.
To-day our ideal CT beauty Is based
chiefly upon health, and it requires
but bright, happy, animated face.
with good complexion and real
fondness for heaithfuI exercise such
as bicycling, golf, swimming, etc. TO
make the beauty of our times.
Irregularity Of feature with perfect
complexion will sooner make that
beauty than perfection of feature and
imperfection of complexion
To keep the skin in proper order a
hot bath is necessary, for Obvious req
sons, at regular intervals. The an
clients seemed to realize, even letter
than we do to-day, the requirements
for maintaing the skin at its perfection.
Their baths of hot air and vapor, end
ing with massage, and the application
of oil when the skin was dry OF lrri-
tated, gave their flesh the appearance
Of tinted marble, and made it firm, soft
and beautiful. These excellent baths.
Turkish Russian and Roman, are to be
had to-day in all the large cities of
every country They should not be
taken if the heart and lungs are in any
way affected, and not oftener than once
in two weeks except under a doctors
recommendation. For curing erup-
tions OF many kinds they are invalu
able, besides keeping the skin healthy
and warding off rheumatism.
The complexion, however, cannot be
kept in order if tight lacing is to be
indulged. Fortunately Dame Fash
ion has altered her decree, and this
great evil, one of the chief sources Of
ill-health, by COMPRISING the vital
organs and preventing the performance
of their natural functions, is pretty we'll
abolished
Another primary cause OF ill-health
is malnutrition The health of the
body depends upon its food, which, by
the way, need not be either craved or
even desired to produce beneficial re-
suits; but food must be regularly taken
and those which are most easily digest
ed are, of course, of greatest assist
ance.
And here let me say word about
exercise The bicycle is proven to be
that form most advocated by teachers
of hygiene All men, women and chill
rem, have taken to it, but it is especial
ly adapted to the needs of women when
used with moderation and common
sense.
A little exercise taken regularly will
give better results than if a great deal
be taken spasmodically. Systematic
exercise is required for physical deveI-
opment and personal beauty, and most
women have begun TO realize this.

Striped organdies are veritable works

A disposition to work seldom attacks
us at periods when it is really more

One reason why woman is rot

that she guesses distances, while man

The man who wants to sell his house

The Military woman.

With so many would-be warriors
forging to the front nowadays. it is
interesting to note THAI there are
three 'full-fedged colonels of the fair
sex in the country. These feminine
officers in state militias are not only
possessed of awe-inspiring epaulets,
but the true patriotic spirit of the
soldier.
The first fair colonel to be appointed
to that important position is Mrs. Nell
lie Ely-Thmpson, of Nashville, Tenn.
This southern belle was given her COM
mission by Governor Taylor, and when
she afterward espoused matrimony
considerable commotion ensued on the
momentous question as to whether this
distinctly military maiden should be
called Mrs. or whether her husband
would be entitled TO the colonel
The second woman to become an.
armyoficer is Colonel Butts, of Georgia,
who serves her country on the staff
of Governor Atkinson. This Young
woman has a military suit, with brass
buttons to beat the band, and on dress
parade is said to be a wholesale inspir-
er Of patriotism in her masculine con-
freres.

zones of that state. AS the official spon-

tits certainly reassuring in these ex-
citing times to think that if TO the as
piring fair defenders of the land Uncle
Sam should issue call to arms these
three feminine colonels would doubt
less meet this not Uncommon mascu-
line manifesto face to face. -l

IN REGARD TO DREAMS.

5omething About Them which are Un-
accountable.
There were a bevy of women talking
about dreams.
Some mocked at the idea that dreams
are anything more than the vaGaries OF
the imagination when it is no longer
controlled by the will; Others realized
there might be things in this world
which even they did not understand
fully: and so the subject would not be
lightly dismissed.
1T has been conelusively proven by
experiments said the Psychic Student,
that there is nothing to differentiate
natural sleep from hypDotics sleep.
The subjective mind, or soul Of man, Is
controlled by the power Of suggestion
during both: and telepathic messages
may be conveyed to persons during
normal. Just as readily as dreamy hyp-
motto sleep. Profound sleep, whether
hypnotic or normal. is dreamless 90
far as your recollection informs you
If your sleep be light. you viii remenz-
Der these messages.
''You can readily see, in the ligh. Of
my statements, that your dreams may
have deep meaning
"That sounds interesting" declared
the Quiet Woman, and explains my
recent experience. For the last month
a certain Individual has been walking
through my dreams with surprising
regularity
''Yes, Of course, the creature was a
man. One woman would never take
the trouble to haunt another in her
dreams. But to continue, Il was not
thinking of him and had every reason
to believe he had entirely forgotten me.
Still there was a yividness about these
visions that made me wonder whether
they were entirely due to my own i'm
agination. To my surprise, this man
materialized in the flesh recently, sur
prising me even more than he had by
presenting himself in my dreams.
you have explained the mystery
concerning my nightly visions. He
was thinking of making that call, and
received the information telepathic-
ally in sleep"
Il have had many curious dreams,
one in particular that I would like to
account for" said the Hostess, with

present
"One morning, in the last light sleep
just before rising, / saw a friend In
great trouble. He was far from his
own home and near me on a business
trip I could see him clearly, and al
though he knew was near. he did not
speak to me but made hurried call
and left, his face worn with care.
was impressed with the fact that some
thing had happened and wrote to know
what was wrong and where he had
been.
Disaster had fallen the night Of my
dream He, himself, was not aware of
the fact however, till Sc hours after
the dream. On learning the facts he
made trip to a place not far from
where I was. 1t was really that trip
which was foretoId to me or rather re-
produced so yiyidly that saw it in all
its minutia.
q would slike you to account for that
dream by suggestion or telepathy," she

NOT NEWS DOWN SOUTH.

The st. Louis Repubiic SAYS:
1t is announced that President Mckn-
lev intends to give Fitzhugh Lee Il brig
ade i'll the event of war. Through Lees
retention at Havana by Republican
administration the country has already
felt Il rare warming in the heart and
confidence in the perpetual brotherhood
Of Americans If Mr.. Mckinley is wise
enough to assign the gallant Confederate
soldier to IL responsible army command
he will officially announce that the civil
war is over.
The South has recognized the war
was over for thirty wears so have
the soldiers who did the fighting on
the Northern side: in the main.
Those who skulked and speculated
during the plcasantness, and who
wanted something to direct atten-
ton from their war records. or to
continue their spoliations of the peo-
pie begun during the war, have been
inVinciblc in their assaults upon the
South, and the best interests and
unity OF sentiment Of the whole
country since the war ended. That
those skulkcrs and traducers of the
or the patriotic sentiment of the
country, is evidenced by the two in
cidents which have occurred when
the country was and is threatened
by foreign complications. First.
when it looked as if this government
would have war with England the
Congress fastened to unanimously
repeal the statute denying to cx-Con-
fcderatc officers the right to hold
army or naval commissions under
the United States government. which
was permitted to disgrace the statute
books OF the country uatil it was
thought the country would need tn G
services of these true Southcrncrs.
Again it is illustrated in the reten-
sion of that splendid cX-Confcderatr e
soldier, General Lee. in the position
of greatest Importance at this time.
| and. rs IS above suggested. in case
| of active hOStilitieS. that hc no doubt
| with others of like records, will be
| given high command in the army of
