A terrible example. indeed, Is that ar

club. Some OF the Nutley club men -
for they were all men and TO the factor
Of sex may be attributed the disaster
that followed their essays at cooking
engaged il a competition at the pro-
duction of Welsh rarebts. /. appears
that there was considerable culinary
rivalry among those club members
there were nine of them--and the
Welsh rarebit contest was TO decide
the claims of superiority, once and for
all. IT was arranged that the judging
be done by the contestants themselves.
so each contestant carefully tasted each
Of the rarebits. The result was disas-
trous. They retired 10 award the prizes.
but before they had proceeded far with
the performance Of their delicate task
the crazy quilt rarebit which each car
ried in his inards began to assert itself
and the meeting hastily adjourned in
pain and trouble. The prizes have not
yet been awarded and the nine con-
testants have concluded that a commit
tee OF impartial judges will bc selected
the next time they venture upon
Welsh rarebit competition. Ordinarl-
ly a Welsh rarebit is a harmless and
wholesome thing, but most any lover of
the delicacy would hesitate TO sample
nine kinds at one sitting. Such a pro-
ceeding. as indicated in this case, would
be a test OF ones digestive machinery
rather than OF the rarebits.

Lieut.. Hobson's paper on his i'm

a deserved tribute TO the British con-
sui. Mr. Ramsden:
Among the brightest features of the
Imprisonment however. were the visits
OF the British consul, which occurred
about every three days. If the prison.
ers had been his own countrymen. even
his own children. Mr.. Ramsden could
not have been more attentive To their
wants, more thoughtful in a hundred
delicate ways. Part OF Mr..
Ramsden's visits was always spent
with the men. He looked 10 all their
wants-kept them supplied with coffee,
sugar and tobacco. sent them two packs
of cards. and contributed i'm other ways
10 their health and comfort. We all
owe him an immeasurable debt OF graf

THE WIFE OF A GENIUS.

Ihose who have gained view of
Jane Welsh Carlyle's life. through her
letters. have-some OF them-felt indig
nant that her originality, Wit and
sparkle were hidden away. that her en-
efgies might be given to the physical
comfort OF the genius by her side. But
a reader with insight must have dis
covered the fact that she had part in
the great achievements Of her lord
other than supplying his material
wants. though large place in her cor
respondence is given TO things relating
directly 10 the needs OF the body. Her
part IN the development Of Carlyles
power was through her unl,keness TO
him. She could be sharp. even cruel.
when pain and LONELINESS pressed upon
her. but she rose like bird in a fresh

It's were given the slightest chance OF

small veXations and great trials her

There Is i'm the regard Of some wives

ROOSEVELT'S SPECTACLES.

col Roosevelt Is very nearsightei," I"
said one of the New Orleans boys who
saw service at Santiago TO a New Or
leans Times Reporter. "and when the
hot lighting was i'm progress his lug
gage consisted almost entirely OF
spectacles. Nearsighted people always
have an abiding dread OF losing their
glasses, knowing their absolute help
lessness without such aid, and | was
told Ivy one of the New York club con-
tlngent that Roosevelt took particular
pains before leaving home TO provide
against such a disaster.
He had been in the habit of wear
ing nose glasses. with a black silk cord
attached. but the arrangement was en-
tirely unsuited TO a campaign. where
the glasses themselves would be liable
10 fall off constantly ana the cord to
catch on twigs. So he substituted very
large, round spectacles with steel hooks
for the ears, and had a dozen pairs
mounted. These he planted around his
person and equipment, trying TO dis
tribute them so no one accident could
include them all. One pair was sewed
in his blouse. another in his belt. an
other in his hat, two in his saddle
bags, and so on.
AT the fight at Guasinas his horse
was barked by a bullet while held by
an orderly and plunged frantically
against a tree. Col. Roosevelt came
rushing up. all anxiety. and began pry-
ing upder the saddle flap. They haven't
hurt the nag, SIR" said the orderly. L
know replied the Colonel. with tears
in his voice, but. blast 'em, they've

DRESSING FOR A GOOD FIGURE.

Wear as few bands as possible at ol
near the waist, and i'm all cases wear
them as far below the waist-line as
possible with comfort. Make drawers
with as little fullness at the top as pos
sible and always make them on a care
fully fitted yoke. IL you wear che
mise or corset-cover have IL fit smooth
ly, and use no sort OF frilly trimmings
that will show their imprint through
closely fitted bodice. Make them as
elaborate as you please. but let all
trimmings be flat, using lace rather
than embroidery. If you wear a short
under-petticoat OF flannel or other
material. make with a fitted yoke that
drops well over the hips and abdomen.
keeping all fullness-both top and bot

The League for Social Service. with

now giving its attention TO the subject
of Mormonism. prompted by the public
alarm over the Roberts case. Proba-
bly, the general public does not fully
realize that the Mormon church is a
religious despotism OF a vigor and per-
sistency unparalleled in our time. IL
may be an unnecessarily alarming cry
that the Mormons aim to gain control
of the politics Of our common country.
but there are startling facts of record
to make such fear FAR from unJustihod
and the League for Social Service does
not hesitate 90 charge 10. The Mormops
today own most Of the land NJ for agri-
culture from the Rocky Mountains TO
