her child from death by stfshgrlation.
The mother is Mrs. Vincent deralde,
of 27R State street. Brooktyn, n. z,
and the child was her t~o.year.old
daughter Annie. The physicians who
strove vainly to save the child's lite
were doctors of the neighborhood,
summoned one after the other.
The child was fretful, and Mrs. Ger.
aide gave her a button bag to amuse
herself with. When Mrs. Geralde went
into another room for few minutes
the child opened the bag and took
from it big bone button. She placed
It in her mouth and it slipped down
her throat, lodging in the windpipe.
Mrs. Geralde heard the child gasping
for breath and hurried into the room.
The mother frantically tried to dis
lodge the button. Finding her efforts
unavailing she sent for physician.
The doctor came at once but tried In
vain to get the button from the child'S
throat. Mrs. Geralde almost beside
herself with fear, hurriedly summoned
two other physicians Of the neighbor.

three physicians, however, failed to

The five doctors, too, agreed that j
was hopeless to try to save the child's
life. They told Mrs. Geralde that
they had employed every method
known to them to get the button out,
but that 1t GOULD not be dislodged.

MUSTACHES.
What They Indicate To Close Oh.
server of Character.

server of Character.
/ Much has been said of late about tell.
ing character by the mouth. This is
all right so far as it goes-thRt Is,
with the women, or with mea who al.
ways wear smooth face, but most
men wear mustache. The shape
and size of the mustache may tell as
much as the shape and size of the
mouth.
A man rarely hides fine mouth. If
he wears a mustache he does so be.
cause his first experiment proved to
his own satisfaction that his mustache
was worthy of preservation, but he
trains 1t carefully SO that it will not
entirely hide any marks OF beauty or
strength. Women do not have all
the vanity.
There Is man who wears heavy
mustache to hide an ugly mouth or
teeth, or to disguise his feelings. He
is in the habit of hiding sarcastic
smile behind the dropping mustache.
No dandy would be guilty Of such
q monstrous affair. His mustache
must be fine and delicate, at least
graceful, and readily trained into
graceful little curls at the ends. If he
is really fine in his nature the quality
of the hair is silky and soft, easily
curling, and perhaps even naturally
wavy. An even.tempered disposition
Is indicated by the soft and well
curved lips, showing beneath this
mustache.
The fierce, bristling mustache which
hides nothing, but stands straight up,
like stubble In wheat field, shows
an extremely harsh nature, bad tenn.
per and general unoouthness. A man
with mustache constantly on the de-
fensive, as it were, like sentinels, Is to
be avoided.
This Is quite different from the long
military mustache, with waXed ends,
which is supposed to be quite fierce,
but which is not so in fact. The mill
tary is quite distinctive from the
French fashion, which Is also waxed
1iustache, and Is arranged with as
much care as any other part Of the
toilet.
As to colors, the same rule follows
as in the color of the hair. Black Is
the most intense In nature, blonde
the least so, while the varying shades
belong to as varied characteristics.
The mixture of colors such as a red
mustache with dark brown hair, soft.
ems the disposition. An absolutely
colorless hair often goes with a thin.
Tipped mouth, which denotes obstinacy
and lack of sympathy or feeling.

Is Seth Stratton. His popularity is
that he had two stomachs, and yet he
was starving.
Ever since childhood StrattQn has
been troubled with his stomach, suf-
fering excruciatihg pain at times.
Some of the best physicians in the
land have treated him. He finally
submitted to an operation at the hos
pital at Battle Creek. An examina-
tion on the operating table proved
that he had two stomachs, but was
approaching starvation through inabil.

the surgeons was to remove the sec.
ond and superfiuous stomach and do
away with the contraction of the ESQ.
phagus that prevented his getting food
into either stomach. This was finally
accomplished. Stratton's trouble had
increased to such an extent that food
had to be forced into his stomach. He
grew thin, weak and pale, and tho

Recently Stratton had an X.ray
photograph taken of his abdominal

hood he had been the victim Of the
contraction of the esophagus, which
grew worse and worse, until nothing
could pass through it. The retention
of food above this place caused dis
tention of the esophagus, until the
tubes proved it's identity with the ma

Women of large artistic ambition
have gone in heart and soul for tapes
try work. They hardly venture any
bigger pieces than will cover a chair
seat or upholster a sofa cushion, but
some of them do truly excellent work
with their woods and big needles. They
work at frames like those at which our
grandmothers worked their wonderful
wool and silk embroideries.
Now that the first flush of interest
has faded from the business of knitting
things. golf hose, waistcoats, etc, the
girl who must do something with her
fingers is making truly lovely jackets
if ice wool. This is an English mode.
for in that country no woman can wear
shirt waist without wishing just a
shadow of a shade of something under
it. The ice wool jackets of cream, pale
rose, or heavens own blue. and thin as
a cobweb, is just the thing. Nearly
every young girl now carries round
with her passepartout box and makes
by this simple method picture frames
for her friends, and the most fascinat-
ing form of picture frame to present
your hostess is a wide cardboard frame
with a small photograph of yourself in
the center, and then small artistic blue
or platinum prints on the frame round
you, showing glimpses of those hooks
about the country house or lawn, or
tiny views of the place you most ad-

HOW TO CURE SEA WEED.

The pleasure of a trip to the sea-
shore need not end with the return
home. When sauntering along the
beach, take with yon an oilsl1in bag or

seaweed that are TO be found on the
sand.
Put them at once in your bag or box,

ready to leave the beach. turn out your
treasures and wash them well in salt
water. shaking out the sand and for
eiSn substances. Put them back in the
box and turn them out in a dark cor
ner of your room to dry.
When ready to use the seawceds,
float them in clear water. Shake out
the coarser kinds. and hang them up
on a string fastened across a window
to dry.
Float the finer sorts separately in u
basin. Slip a piece of stiff cartridge
paper under the seaweed, lift it very
carefully to the surface of the water,
and, still keeping it afioat, arrange the
sprays naturally, with a fine paint
brush. Separate the various fron1s
into graceful shapes.
When this is done, cautiously raise
the paper out of the water, SO as not

JENNY LIMBS FAvORlTE SOUP
Great Singer Believed It Helped Her
Voice

The recipe used by the famous singer,
Jenny Lind, in making her favorite soup
has Just been discovered. She believed II
had much TO do with the preservation of
her voice and keeping her throat and
chest in good condition. She would entrust
its manufacture TO no one. preferring TO
see to it herself that it should be made
precisely right. She soaked forty-tive
grains of pure sage in cold water for sew
eral hours. She then put il on the fire to
boil in fresh water and when il had reach
ed the boiling point, poured cold water
over the sage in the sieve Then II was
cooked for twenty minutes with one and
a half spoOnfuls of bouillon and carefully
SKINNED. A little salt. pepper. nutmeg.
sugar and cut-up parsley were added. and
finally the yolks of two fresh eggs and
eight spoonfuls of hot cream made into a
sauce was put into the soup through
strainer, after il had been lifted from the
fire and all thoroughly worked with a
large spoon. Now it was ready 10 be eaten
or drank. All ambitious singers who take
soup like this will not necessarily become
Jenny Linds, but their voices will stand
great strain and retain their sweetness by

guardian of the peace had more things

when a good-looking young woman,

seated an infant of perhaps eight or
ten months, approached him.
Would you mind seeing that no one
