whose biography, written by Huber and

Do you know that the swarmiDg Of the

the other bees of the hive get into an ex-

some four degrees, and they must die un-

and they follow the mother bee and alight

other and hold on until committee OF two

get my use of the dresses" she said
to Anne Morton Lane, who repeats
her remarks in the Chicago Times
Herald; "they are perfectly fresh and
new, and they have served their pur-
pose. l can afford to sell them cheap
ly, and 1 do. The ladies who buy
them must, however, have them al
tered to suit their figures, and, as
everybody knows, the feeling OF an
adapted dress is never as satisfactory
as one that has been made for you.
Now, my idea as to these model cos
tunes is as follows: At stated times I
go to Paris. My customers know
this. A lady comes to me and says:
Il want dress from Paris. 1t must
be the latest style. 1t must be of such
and such color and material. You
buy it at such and such great French
house for me. will allow you to use
it as a model for three weeks Tor more
or less), and then you will send it on
to me- This costume I will order to
my customers measurements. l will
copy its style in my own place, and
according to the length of time have
made use of the gown will deduct
from the original price I have paid
for dress. For instance, 1 will have
a dress made in Paris to the measure
ments and taste of my client in Lon
don. I will pay, say, S125 for it.
This same dress 1 will let her have in
q months time, with all the cachet OF
advanced Paris fashions upon it, for
S75 or 800, according to the arrange
ment made. This is not an altered
dress. 1t is one made specially for
her, and she is able to buy it from me
at much reduced rate. lido not charge
anything for the advantages OF my ex-
perience and connection, and buy
the gown, and for the value of its use
for a few weeks I allow her to have 1t
at ten per cent. less than paid for it
originally"

Demi.Trains for House Toilets.

All street, tailor and utility gowns
are made to clear the ground all
around, but house toilets of every de-
seription are cut with graceful demi-
train, fashion far more suitable and
appropriate for stylish home wear
than any sort Of indoor gown cut with
q bobbed-oif skirt. There is little or
no flare to the cores on the front and
sides, the effect remains sheath-like
over the hips, and the fulness is car
ried well to the back. A very narrow
half-cloth facing is still used to pre-
vent limp effect about the hem OF the
skirt, and the majority of winter dress
skirts are trimmed around the bottom
if only with three or Ave rows of mar
row Milan or soutache braid.

A Rearsr Dam-Huilder.

K, A man who had his doubts about
beavers being able to build dams was
presented with a baby beaver by a
;hnnter. 1t became a great pet, but
shewed no signs of wanting to build
q dam until one day leaky pailful OF
water. was put on the floor of the out
Kitchen. The beaver was there, and
|fhQpgh little more than baby, when
e san the water oozing across the
iAoor ths scampered into the yard,
brought . chip and began his work.
His owner kept the pail filed and left
building material at hand, and the
little fellow kept at his work until he
had built solid dam around the pail.

CITY Soon to De Famous.

ti,Open your atlas at the map of Asia
! and look for the city with the long
name of yladiyostok, on the eastern
coast, north of japan. A few years
ago it was only little, barren, strag-
xling town OF few thousand inhabit-
ants, most of whom were Chinese
fishermen who lived in the deepest
-poyerty. Now it is a rapidly growing
CITY of more than 10000 inhabitants
saDdit will soon become one of the
great ports and naval stations of the
world. Last week the cornerstone of
che new Russian public works was laid
with great ceremony.
The importance of Vlaiiyostok
lies in the fact that it is at the ter
minus,of the transeSiberian railroad,
which viii run from Russia, distance
ofsoFer 5000 miles, across the barren
stretches of Siberia. When completed
1t will have cost over S175, 900, 900,
making Il one Of the greatest business
! enterprises of modern times. This
Eailroad will give Russia q great port
on the Pacific ocean and enable her to
develop the rich coal aud iron mines
3 of her vast territorys all of which will
sdd to the importance Of the new city.
yiadivostok is also we'll located for a
fortress, and it is expected that Russia
& will arm it and make it base of sup
piles for her ships. Two months
every year its harbor is frozen over,
but the Russian government keeps a
channel plowed through the ice with
. great ice-crusher Of American inyen-
6on.

The Secrets of Beauty.

No woman is genuine feminine
at heart who has not prediction
for beauty-beauty in everything.
Soft and suggestive colors are pleas
ing to the cultured woman; so Is the
subtle art Of music, the charm OF
rhythm in the world, the splendors OF
sunset sky, the witcting OF moon:
light. The. crowning loneliness OF
creation is q beautiful woman, and
the daughters of Eve should never
forget that it is part Of woman's
business to look as well as possible.
Recipes and 'shints" for inducing
beauty are as the sands of the sea for
numbers, and are as varied In range
and result as the colors that rest upon
the leaves Of autumn.
One of the first requisites OF beauty
has rather cynical sound, but, modl-
fed, is really good and sensible: No
heart and good digestion !! This does
not mean that one must be absolutely
callous and Indifferent to human suf-
fering, but it implies that one should
not prolong needless regret and grief
over inevitable sorrows. A smile is
often more acceptable sympathy and
cheer to burdened heart than tear,
for smiles belong to youth and JOY and
content, and>are' beauty inducers.
Proper attention-to food will guard
against indigestion.
Absolute cleanliness of body is an
other requisite to beauty. Bathing
night and morning should be rell-
giously adhered to, no matter the state
of the weather. Illness alone should
postpone one's~accustomed bath.
To the constitution that can stsld
it, a cold bath on rising in the morn
ing should be taken. 1t is q superb
tonic and clears the brain as well as 1t
invigorate5 the body.
Correct bathing, diet and exercise
will do m4 4ch in the way of making
woman beautiful, and not one OF these
three important means should be neg
lected.
Sleeping rooms should be we'll ven-
tilated and as much fresh air taken
into the lungs as possible.
The following is recommended as
an excellent skin food: Melt together
drachh of spermaceti, a drachm OF
white WAX, three ounces Of sweet oil
of almonds, two ounces OF lanoiine
and one ounce of cocoa butter. Re-
move Fl rom the fire and beat until cold.
Add while you are beating 20 drops OF
tinctufe of benzoin and ten drops OF
oil of rose.
Eating apples is said to assist in
cleanting the system and clearing the
comulexiou. An apple before break
fast Ind one just before going to bed
is Recommended for this purpose.
All even, calm temper is wonder
full beautifer. 1t keeps frowns from
the ejbrow, wrinkles from the face and
haad lines from around the mouth.
Eat meats that are cooked rare; beef
ESPECIALLY; this makes good firm tissue
and rich blood. Mutton and veal
should be cooked thoroughly, though
nbt with the substance burned out.
Pure, sweet cream is excellent for
he skin; drinking tea, coffee or choc-
late to excess iniuses the skin.
Beauty sleep is absolutely essen
tial. Try to get at least eight hours
{sleep every night. N. Y. Tribune.

Physica, Training for Schoolgirls.


A New York physician, DR.. G. 81.
Lewis, was recently called upon to
examine thirty girls in well known
private school. OF these average
girls from well-to-do and cultivated
families he found fifteen in normally
sound condition. Eight of them
showed weakness of the right ches:,
two of the left cheat, and ive of both
chests. Six had weak hearts, and
three had spinal cnrvatures. It is
somewhat startling TO learn that half
of the schoolgirls of this generation
are thus ailing, but that seems to be
the indication of this examination.
The result of subsequent examina-
ton is, however. reassuring. The
girls in the interval Of five months
had systematic physical culture,
under the direction of thoroughly
skilled and conscientious teacher,
who aimed to give each girl the
exercises especially suited to her
individual condition. at the Sec
ond examination, of the six weak
hearts, four were found Ito be im-
proved and two restored I'd a normal
condition. All three casesl of spinal
curvature were improved. Of the
eight ailing right chests, sit were i'm
proved and two made norma And of
the five cases in which b. b chests
we're weak, Improvement as noted
in four and complete cur in one.
These are tangible results. opinions
may differ as to the value he Del
sarte movements in the in citation
of literature, and as to the ability
of basket ball and sculling denly
accomplishments. Cong the
value Of sound lungs, stro parts,
and straight spines, there il ,oom
for doubt. If systematic eical
training of schoolgirls WI tore
such conditions to those ack
them, and confirm those VIII dy
have them in their possessed pa

he is killed. So they eudeavor to see.

WEBSTER CITY, To-, Aug. 13.-For
twelve years Mrs. William Sutherlan1
has been cripple and unable to walk.
She suffered all the torture ina inable
and had been treated by the best ply

results. Her husband interested her
in the case Of Mrs. Van Slyke, of Web

would pray for her.
Another message came this morning
that prayers would take place for her

owing to Mrs. Van Sykes cure a year
ago, great interest was manifested.
The house was surrounded at the

aloud, but Mrs. Sutherland remained
quiet.
Describing her feelings afterward she
said that she felt a thrill pass through
her body as soon as the prayers COM

do to keep from attempting to rise to

Sutherland walked for the first time in
twelve years. Her children were SC
impressed with her walking that they
