Hygienic Five O'Clock Tea.

No woman with any regard for her
reception unless she arrives just after
the samovar has been lighted and sees
the teamaker put the fragrant herb
In the pot. When tea is left standing
for hours, as is usually the case at an
afternoon at home, 1t becomes tanic
acid pure and simple, and is almost as
effective In wearing away the coating
of the stomach as any other corrosive
poison. For promoting Indigestion
and gastric disturbances tea that has
cooked" for a whole afternoon Is quite
unexcelled by even bakers pies or hot
biscuits.
A clever device introduced at wo-
mans club to obvlate the calamity OF
every member becoming a dyspeptic Is
the tarlatan tea ball. A sufficient
quantity of tea to make teapot full
Of the cheering beverage is placed In
the teapot. The tea Is enclosed in a
little bag Of tarlatan and as soon as
he liquid has drawn" the bag Is fished
out and thrown away. When the tea
pot Is empty new tea bag Is put in,
and fresh tea made. One result Of this
hygienic precaution is that the club in
question evinces as much interest In its
o'clock rite as 1t does in speeches and
discussions, thus bringing the mem
bers into closer touch with each other
than they would be If all their time
and energies were expended in political
bother,

A clever writer says worry is NOR
tai enemy to beauty and charm of man
ner. This Is undeniably true. Worry
over the inevitable is not only a wrin-
kle inducer and frown instigator, but
1t is a senseless and wicked rebellion
against what cannot be helped. Worry
clouds the eyes, makes the voice sharp
and impatient. puts hard lines about
the mouth and destroys repose and
gentleness Of manner. Whatever is, is
best. Therefore one would best con-
troll ones feelings and learn as soon
as possible to know that bright eyes,
sweet voices and smiles about the
mouth will add much to ones beauty
and to ones circle OF friends.

lof some one to concentrate their

gress who is not a coal operator. the
suggestion has been favorably received
by Williams opponents. On the other

LONDON'S LATEST PASTIME.
Fencing ms an After-Dinner Amuse.
mont for UoIIas

Fencing ms an After-Dinner Amuse.
ment for Ladies'.
Fencing promises to become more
and more of fashionable pastime in
London, especially among the fair sex.
The authority for this statement Is
Mr.. Mcpherson, a professor of the art,
who Is Just now taking part in series
of brilliant assaults d'armes in Paris.
and whose presence among the cham
pion swordsmen has given rather an
international aspect to some of the
bouts.
I'm addition to the usual orthodox
displays in the fencing rooms in Lon
don," he told Daily Mail representa-
tive, "it is becoming frequent to see
after-dinner bouts In the circles OF the
elite between couple Of expert fenc-
ers engaged for the occasion-a form
OF amusement which may yet disturb
the serenity of the other lions, the
German pianist and the Italian violin
st.
There is especially movement
among the fair sex strongly in favor OF
the foils. After all, nothing is more
graceful in the world than the silhou-
ette lunge brilliantly executed In
short skirt and gymnastic shoes. And
besides, the exercise develops muscle,
and that's what the sex goes in for
nowadays.
"At least one lady fencer, Miss Low
ther," continued Mr.. Mcpherson, "is
more than a match for the best anna
teur in England. and the equal of most
OF the professors. She has practiced
fencing almost from childhood. More
than one lady in London teaches the
art, and altogether there are more
ladies practicing fencing in London
than men. This result is partly due to
the enthusiastic advocacy of the foils
by lady Colin Campbell, who Is herself
an expert. Mrs. Langtry is, of course,
well known as another. and other ac-
tresses less known are diligent stu
dents.
THE Italian school of fencing pre-
wallis rather too much in London, and
as the reproduction Is only more or
less like the original, London fencing
leaves much to be desired. Certain
amateurs, however, stand out brilliant
ly-Capt. Hutton, Mr.. Egerton-C Castle,
and Sir Charles Dixie. The last named
is indefatigable. and is well known in
Paris for his prowess.
Paris Is. after ALL" he added, "the
home of the fOils Whereas there arc
hardly more than half dozen good
SALES d'armes in London there are
some hundred and fifty in Paris, and
the virtuosity of the exponents is pret-
ty much in the same ratio. Rue, Pre-
vost, Kirchoffer, Conte the Italian, and
young Desmedt, the Belgian, are the
present stars of the professional frma-
ment.
"Latterly in France the foils have
yielded in some quarters to the dueling
sword, In which the play is notably
different. Thomeguex, for instance,
who fought PM, is not marvel with
the foils, but one of the most redoubt-
able of opponents with the sword, and
especially when the wigs are on the
green"
There is prospect of London seeing
some of the champions mentioned at
a tournament to take place at one OF
the sporting clubs.

When the new county bill is intfo-
dnced in tho next legislature there
should be less heard of it as "Qnay"
county than on former occasions. This
name was never sanctioned by the
people OF the territory to be included.
and instead OF ever helping the measure
In legislative circles it has acted at
all times as milestone. The prospects
OF the new county bill going through
both houses again are better than ever.
and whether jerks, Stone or Swallow is

next the act will be judged according to
to its merits, not, as in 1897, by the
title few Of its advocates gave it,
Therefore, it is necessary that name
should be selected which. can be upheld
by the people after the act becomes a
law. This would not he the case with

Fools,

Who oyerstep the rules.
And, by their doings, show that the
are various kinds of fools.
The woman In flesh colored tights
Who dances, kicks and sings;
The man that on the frail trapeze
So perilously swings;
The brazen one who stands before
A multitude, and twists
A Shiny snake about her neck;
The tough with heavy fists,
Who meets another in the ring,
And pounds him till he dies;
The man that on a parachute
Drops from the starry skies
These and hundred others we
Look at in speechless awe.
And then declare them all to be
The biggest fools we ever saw.
But, after all is said and done,
Is the fool that thrills us so
More foolish than the gaping one
Who pays to see the show?

Practicing Only What They Were Taught.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There is very general and profound
preiudice cherished throughout the
country against the Cuban insurgents
because Of their barbarOus methods and
their unwillingness to submit to the
discipline Of civilized warfare. 1t is not
surprising that the widely divergIng
methods OF warfare practiccd by the
United states troops and by the Cuban
insurgents, very seriously prejudice
our troops against the Cubans who
should be our close and efficient allies in
the present war in Cuba.
While no defense can be offered for
the conduct OF the Cubans after the
capture OF Santiago, we should gener-
ouSly judge the Cuban insurgents.
They have been many years at war with
Spain. The ten years conflict was par
tlcipated in by many of those who are
now in the inSurgent army, and they
nave been at war now for three wears
without ever receiving a lesson from the
Spanish army illustrating any of the
humanities OF civilized conflict.
They know nothing of civilized war
fare and they have never had any OF it,
The enemy that oppressed, robbed and
murdered them was liendishly barbarous,
not only against the Cuban insurgents
in the field, but against their families at
nome; and it is not surprising that an
army made up largely Of semi-civilized
Cnoans should have no conception what
ever OF the laws OF civilized warfare in
the struggle with Spain.
