DR.. Thomas F. Rumbold, In Q paper
on this subject, attributes the nervous
prostration commonly attributed to
"overwork" to chronic nasal inflamma-
ton, the most potent and frequent fac
tor in the production Of which he as
serts to be the result Of excuses OF
alcohol, tobacco, and "colds" induced
thereby. These practices, he says, In
crease the congestion Of the nasal mu-
cous membrane, producing tendency
to "colds," causing vascular paresis,
which, commencing at the periphery,
gradually travels to the brain vascular
system, and the author holds that this
disturbance OF the cerebral circulation
is the real reason of the irritability or
temper inability to hold the mind con-
tinuously on definite subject, sleep
lessness, forgetfulness, desire for
change and excitement. accompanied
by physical exhaustion and loss of am
bition, which are commonly attributed
by the physician to the continuous ap-
plication of the mind to business and
professional duties.

The general opinion on the preserva-
tion of meat is that the decomposition
of the blood is the cause of much Of
the trouble experienced in keeping
meats in fresh and wholesome state.
A Danish scientist gives some points
on the preservation of this important
't'n'e of food. The methods of killing
limal, according to his theory.
are greatly at fault. The animal must
be stunned, not killed, and instantly
the ready assistant with a sharp knife
cuts to the heart and opens the ven
tricle. This allows the blood to rush
out, completely clearing the veins.
Then solution of salt, depending in
strength upon the length of time the
meat is to be kept, is thrown by pow
erful pump through the uninjured ven
tricle and thence in the veins Of the
entire carcass. The operation is an
extremely simple and short one, and
Immediately upon it's completion the
animal can be dressed and cut up
Meat has been kept three months with
perfect satisfaction under this form of
treatment. This discovery opens new
possibilities in the way Of preserving
meats and is without the objections
usually urged to other ways of remov-
ing the blood.

A Beautiful Throat.

The throat should be round, full and
pillar-like, and nothing will give those
qualities so quickly as the daily exer-
else of rolling the head completely
around, several times in one direction,
and an equal number in the opposite
way. This exercise fills out the hol-
lows like magic and strengthens the
muscles as we'll. The arms are seldom
sufficiently developed for beauty. We
do not use our arms sufficiently to
give them the muscular growth they
need and to do away with the sharp
ness of the elbows. Thin arms are
ugly, except when they are gracefully
handled, and that is seldom. Keeping
the elbows away from the side in
sharp angle may be stylish, but 1t Is
not graceful, and crossing the arms
over the chest is unlovely to degree.
Watch closely the next woman whom
you see in that attitude and note the
ugly curve of the back and the forward
droop Of the shoulders. A few women
may look jaunty and attractive when
they carry their hands in their jacket
pockets, but where you hnd one who
does satisfy the eye you will see scores
who offend.

The two tone seal in wax on an en-

monogram on the paper is a mystery TO
any one not in the secret. For instance
a silver monogram and raised orna-

easily duplicated in the seal. the
background is Of wax to match the
background of the monogram. When
ready to seal the envelope dip the seal
in the oil and wipe it quite dry. except
the engraving, where the oil remains.
Then dip the oily seal into the silver
powder and brush across the seal, leav-
ing no silver except in those same In
dentations of the engraved monogram.
Melt the wax and drop 1t on to the
proper place and seal as usual. The oil
will have taken up the silver powder
into the monogram and the warm wax
taken it out Of the monogram, so that
all the raised characterization Is coated
over with the silver powder.

Unfortunate Cretans,

Even in ancient times to be born q
Crete meant life of misery and hard
ship. They were then as abject a race
as they are now. Epimenides, as quot
ed by St. Paul. said: "The Cretans are
always liars and evil beasts" In the
Levant to this day to say that man
is Crete is by no means a compu
ment. The island is inhabited by peo-
pie who speak the Greek language and
hold the Greek faith. They have in
herited the beauty and, to certain
extent, the heroism of their immortal
ancestors. They are acute, genial and
comely in their manners; the humblest
barefooted peasant girl holding her
distaff under her arm and spinning
by the roadside, exactly as described
by Homer, has a profile as perfect,
form as graceful and an address as
courteous as though she were some
princess in disguise.

Gems. Hunter and Rumble had al

BILE; he Is a judge of character and he
has been very fair and public-spirited
in the use of his patronage. A serv-
ice which offers large promises of pro-
motion and distinction has been eager
ly sought after. Great pressure, po-
litical and social, has been brought to
bear upon the man who really con-
trolled nominations, for the sirdars
recommendations have been invariably
respected at the war Office. But in no
case has aught but merit awaited and
the result is that the officers now serv-
ing in Egypt are "the pick of tho
basket" the brightest and best in the
queens service. We may confidently
expect those trained in Egypt to rise
in due course to the very top of the
tree. The present generation Of dis
tinguished soldiers is passing away.
At the end of another decade, soldiers
of the school of Wolseley and of Rob-
erts will be mostly disqualified by age
if they have not already Joined the
majority, and the country must look
for their successors among the young
men now coming to the front. Oppor-
tunity is the only sure avenue to sue
cess in our army, and those who make
the most of it rise fastest and highest.

Will you be present at the ceremony?

"She is cruel" muttered the young
man between his teeth. II have heard
that girls rather like to see discarded
lovers at their weddings. But l did
not think Lena would have asked such
q thing"
He was sorely tempted not to go.
She would never know that he had not
burned the second note unopened But
he had opened it, and he decided that
he was bound in honor to go to the
wedding. What had made Lena take
80 much pains to insure his being
there, he could not imagine.

Luke's on the goth of June. She might
have chosen another day."
The church was not by any means
empty. Quite a crowd Of fashionably
dressed people, mostly women, filled
the pews nearest to the chancel.
Vincent had not been in his place
more than minute or two when the
bridegroom arrived-a man we'll past
80, dressed like youth of 20. Vincent
gazed at him with beating heart. This
man was to be his little Lena's hus-
band-her master! He tried to make
out something Of the earl's disposition
by scanning his features; but the mask
of impassive composure was complete.
Only there were lines in that old
young face that told of hard living.
Another minute, and the bride, lean

the tight-fitting gauze vest.
A longing for the dainty flounces OF
the chemise led to its revival last year,
however. Yet 1t was much changed;
the material used was finer and the
garment was made semi-fitting at the
waist.
But even this garment did not suit
the up-to-date woman, and her discon-
tent resulted in a garment which will
prove very popular this year. 1t is a
chemise and short skirt combined. The
waist portion is made much like an
evening blouse-somewha more scan
ty, but otherwise the same. The low
neck is adorned with short yoke Of
embroidery which extends over the
arms in narrow straps, holding the
garment in place.
The skirt Is fitted equally we'll with
the waist and has broad band Of en-
broidery about the bottom, matching
that at the neck. The tiny waistband,
which joins chemise and skirt, Is tho
daintiest thing imaginable. OF white
embroidery, 1t has narrow blue rib
bon run through it, and this finishes
in long-ended bow at the side.-The
