Our New COLONY in Guam.

1t is the purpose of the Government
to make the residence of the naval
officers now on their way to Guam to
administer the affairs of the new col.
ony as pleasant as practicable, and TO
allow every reasonable demand that
the Governor and his staff may make.
Service at Guam is not desirable, and
the officers sent there are expected to
remain three years.
The Yosemite is now on the way
there with general cargo for estab-
fishing the colony, including every
thing needed, from furniture for resi-
dences to windmills and farming i'm
plements. 1t is not the intention of
the authorities to make the colony ex-
clusively one of men, as has been sup
posed. 1t is not believed that the
men would be content in 30 lonely a
place without the companionship of
women, and, while it is contrary to
the regulations of the Government to
provide facilities and transportation
for moving the wives and families OF
naval officers about the world, it is
thought that as Guam presents so un-
usual case the regulations may be
disregarded.
The Solace will be fitted out at San
Francisco with accommodations for a
limited number of ladies, and on its
next trip to the island of Guam, will
carry the families of several officers
who are now bound there on the Yo.

NOVEL TEMPERANCE SCHEME
How Manufacturer Secured DRY"
Town In Indiana

manufacturer at Three Oaks, Ind,
has just inaugurated a temperance re-
form In that town that is at once novel
and apparently practicable, says the
Cleveland Leader. This man, who has
several hundred employees, recently Of
fered to pay into the village treasury
annually an amount equal to the Ii
cense fees derived from the saloons II
the authorities would abolish the sa-
looms and make the town dry" II
the offer was refused he threatened to
remove his factory to another town.
The proposition was submitted to the
council and it In turn referred the mat
ter to the people at special election.
The result was an overwhe Ginning VIC
tory for temperance. The saloons will
be closed, the village treasury will re-
ceive the annual payment promised,
and the factory will not be removed.
OF course 1t Is not difficult to under
stand why this manufacturer desired
the closing of the saloons. He prob
ably realized that he could get better
work from his employees If they were
always sober, and will doubtless dis
cover that the money paid for the
closing of the saloons is we'll invested.

The newest effects are in the belt
and neck buckles worn with the almost
too popular shirt waists. Just how to
finish shirt-waist at the throat and
belt is always problem, particularly
if woman is inclined to be stout.
The broad belt and the high stock col
lar are very well for slight young girls,
but as shirt-waists are supposed to be
correct for older women, it is time that
something else was found to make
them possible. The new style of wear
ing belt made of piece of soft satin
ribbon quite wide, and then putting
the ends of that ribbon into the buckle,
is very satisfactory fashion. The
ribbon is soft enough to draw down at
the back, where it can be fastened to
the skirt and waist. The buckle, quite
a small one, can be in silver studded
with precious stones, or in enamel,
oxidized silver, or fire gilt. The de-
signs are charming, and the buckles
most inexpensive. These waist
buckles, however, are not so fascinat-
ing as the neck buckles, which fasten
q soft ribbon just at the throat. The
idea is to have piece of ribbon from
two to four inches in width and three
quarters of a yard in length, or even
longer if necessary, 80 that it will go
around the neck twice. The ends are
put into this small buckle, which is
worn just at the throat; little bow of
lace being put on underneath, if de-
sired. --Harper's Bazaar.

A Health-Giyin Exercise.

Breathing exercises alone will do
much to improve TIE general health
of nearly all women. Stand before a
mirror, in room into which a good
supply of air is coming, and raise the
hands straight over the head, and
then let them drop naturally to the
side-without attempting to square
the shoulders. Then closing the
mouth, take long, deep breath and
hold it in the lungs few seconds.
Repeat this as often as you can with
out feeling tired. Each day try the
same exercise until you can hold a
breath for minute and minute and
half. This will increase the ex-
terror of the chest and develop the in
terror. Short, quick gasps are not
normal breathing. By reducing the
respiration to ten a minute for five
consecutive minutes three times a
day one will soon acquire full breath
ing. This is most important for
weak and sickly children. As the
fresh air is a great stimulant to the
lungs, when deeply inhaled, one has
to be very careful not to bring on
dizziness by over-exercising at first.
Every woman must be guide to her.
SELF Always stop exercising before
fatigue sets in, as over-exercise and
no exercise at all bring on the same
results. Never try the limit OF your
strength. - Woman's Home Com
panion.

Null ties edged with lace are still
worn, but the ends of lace are much
longer, so that very little of the null
shows. Some of these ties have just
enough null in them to reach around
the throat, and then the bows and
ends are of lace. There is white
Chantilly lace, which is very expensive
and quite rare, and makes beautiful
ends for these ties. But there is no
fixed rule as to what kind of lace
should be used as both the light and
heavy kinds are correct.

RUINED BY A STORM.
The Farmer Thought, But 1t Made Him
Monev,


Washington Correspondence to Chi
cago Record: Secretary Wilson tells
a story which illustrates the uses of
adversely. A farmer out West planted
a lot of ground to sugar beets. They
grew beautifully and sent out a glori-
Gus foliage of dark-red leaves, with
deep red veins in them, which he ad-
mired very much. A tornado came and
cut them off close to the ground. The
poor farmer was discouraged. 1t was
too late to plow up the field and plant
another crop. His whole spring labor
was wasted and all his money was
gone. He decided that he would give
up farming, advertise his place for sale
and go back East to his wife's folks.
Before they had finished packing, how
ever, he noticed, new healthy shoots
coming from all the beets, and told his
wife he guessed they would better hold
up awhile and see what happened In
few weeks the foliage was as fresh
and strong as before, so he hoed out
the weeds with confidence Of getting
a good crop. When he dug up those
beets and took them to the sugar fac
tory that fall they were found to con-
tain more saccharine than any others
that were offered, and upon an investl-
cation at the experiment station it was
decided that their superiority was due
to the storm. From that time on beet
farmers have initiated the example Of
nature and cut the tops off their beets
at least once during the season.
