WHERE WIVES TRIUMPH.

In the Philippines the law which re-
lates to the property of married peo-
pie is entirely in favor of the wife.
Any property bride may possess is
never by any chance settled upon the
husband, and If he is poor and she
well off, he can only become at most
an administrator of her possessions.
After death. unless she has executed
a deed in her husbands favor, under
a lawyers eye, the property goes to
her children and blood relations, but
none to her husband.
A married woman retains her maid
en- name and adds to it that of her
husband with the prefix ode" and the
children bear the names Of both par
ents.
The husband symbolically endows
tho bride with all his worldly possess
sions after the marriage. In fact, it is
clearly a case in the Philippines of
whats yours is mine and what's mine
is my own" as far as the women folk
arc concerned.

Women Should Be Well Corsetcd.


The first and most stringent COM
mandment of the modistes now is,
you must be well corseted. If you
are not, and if you have principles
against reducing your waist measure
by means Of long, steady pull on
your stay strings, then don't, for good
looks sake, attempt to have the sea-
sons gowns cut on the new mode. A
large waist is not to be tolerated with
the shape of skirt and basque we'll
dressed women are now wearing.
Most of the new corsets are, to begin
with, absolutely plain, their only or
namentation being little decorative
needlework about their tips. They
are heavily boned, but the best Of
them are not made of the clumsy
coutille, by the strength of which such
store used to be laid Coutille, it is
agreed, gives the figure stiff, hard
expression, and nowadays the desire
is to be closely laced without losing
supple grace of aspect. The truly
well-cut corsets are made very short
in the back, curved out under the
shoulder-blade and on the hip proper
they are short and boneless, while the
steel and whalebone is brought to the
front. By this simple device it is
wonderful the way useful curves are
thrown out and hnmpish superfuity
crushed in, and woman whose stays
are very tight moves about with the
apparent elasticity of skirt dancer.
Now, no hygienic questions will be
raised here, but it is asserted that,
from modlsh point of view, the new
corset accomplishes wonders, and if
you happen to be as thin as the pro-
verbal fence rail, so thin. indeed,
that no amount of lacing could pro-
duce hips or bust, then you can easily
buy a pair OF prepared stays that will
produce them for you. These will be
made of linen net, having aerated
pads in the right places. The pads,
by the way, are 50 prepared as not to
heat the body and SO diminish the
flesh, as clumsy cotton pads do. For
the summer such delicately built
women as need neither to lace nor to
pad. will popularize the little corsets
made all of tough, flat linen lace,
while already for home wear the cor
set makers are showing pretty things
made of horizontal rows of linen
beading, through which broad satin
ribbons run to form the walls of the
slay.-New York Sun.

Brushing Hair backwards.

Have you ever tried brushing your
hair the wrong way? There was q
little woman whose hair had long been
thin and scraggy. She was in despair,
having used host of different tonics
without benefit, when French maid
suggested brushing the hair the wrong
way, assuring her mistress that in
Paris this was favorite way of groom
ing the hair. The American woman
decided to try the experiment Her
maid carefully divided the hair into
many small parts. and then, with a
huge and very stiff brush, began her
work. Holding the extreme end of
the strand to be brushed in her left
hand, she started at the bottom of it
and brushed upward toward the head.
After each strand had gone through
this process the maid smoothed each
hair back into its original position.
Now the woman brushes her hair in
this manner each night and morning.
She declares it has proved more
beneficial than an expensive tonic

Women of the Legion of Honor.


1t is interesting to note, in connec-
tion with the fact that one of the
nuns attached to the naval hospital at
Cherbourg, France, has Just been
decorated with the Cross of the Legion
of Honor by the Minister of Marine,
that she is the sixty-eighth woman
who has been received into the famous
order since its foundation in 1902.
A glance at the list reminds us how
female valor has become recognized
side by side with charity and devotion,
talent, also, not been overlooked.
Thus, among the soldiers we find
Virginie Ghesquiere, Sergeant in the
Twenty seventh Regiment of Infantry,
who obtained the much-coveted re
ward in 1903; Marie Scnellinck, Sub
Lieutenant, who was wounded at
Austerlitz and jena, and Widow
Brulon, Sub-Lieutenant in the Forty
second Regiment of Infantry. Four
vivandieres also figure on the roll, and
among the ladies who have done good
and noble work Nine. Furtado- Heine,

Nine years ago little girl walked
into the studio of dorado Taft in Chi
cago and announced her desire to
study the art of sculpture. To-day
that girl is still little and also famous.
Her name is Bessie Potter; her age is
twenty-five. Bessie Potter is all the
rage in Chicago. It is the correct
thing to have portrait statuette fash
ioned by the deft fingers of this di-
minutive woman.
Genius is sometimes described as
unlimited capacity for work Measured
by this definition, Bessie Potter is q
genius; for no one ever saw her idle,
and the number of her productions is
something phenomenal. When it is
added that besides the virtue of indus
try she has love of art and good taste,
her success so early in life is not sur
prising.
The first of her work that attracted
attention was bust of Professor David
Swing. She gave expression to his
picturesque personality as it had never
been done before. Her special line
took the form Of sketchy little
statuettes. Her statuette of Susan B.
Anthony is pronounced by critics the
best portrait of Miss Anthony extant.
Bessie Potter is seen at her best in
figures of young women and girls. She
gets on famously with the little folk,
and has done some delightful portraits
of babies. There is au individuality
about her work that is often lacking
in the production of other sculptors
and artists, and she means to retain
it. She has pronounced opinions on
the subject of American artists who
''go to Europe, settle down there and
copy year after year until they lose all
Individuality" She thinks it well
enough to be informed on what Exrope
has produced and is producing, but
that is all.
1t is pleasant to be able to say that
while society has made her fad, her
work is appreciated by artists. RAT
faelli went wild over her statnettes.
Vonnoh Is an enthusiast on the same
subject. Taft is very proud of the
fact that he was once her teacher, and
the rest of the Chicago art colony
seems to feel proprietary interest in

Man wants but little here below"
is an axiom which applies markedly to
the quantity of air which is necessary
to tupport life. 1t is estimated that
when man is at rest he consumes 800
cubic inches Of air every minute, an
allowance which, at the first glance,
appears large. 1t is, however, absurd
ly small when we consider that at this
rate Of consumption it would take
man five days and nine and one-half
hours to exhaust the air in q small
room is feet square and 10 feet high.
Any form of exertion, however. great
ly increases the consumption of air.
Thus, If we saunter at two miles an
hour, we require just twice as much air
as when sitting in our arm chair; and
at four miles an hour nothing less
than 1890 cubic inches will satisfy us.
Taking an average consumption
throughout life of one cubic foot of
air every two minutes, we reach some
very interesting conclusions. Thus, an
hours supply of air could be contained
in trunk feet long, feet wide and
2 feet deep. In a day we should ex-
haust a small roomful, 101s feet long,
feet wide, and 10 feet high. For
years supply we should require
reservoir or hall 100 feet square and
a shade over 26 feet high, and the sup
ply for a long life of eighty years
would be contained in a large hall

Useless Long Chains.

One of the most useless things ever
put on the market to tempt fair wom-

can determine. These long chains of
amethysts, olivines, imitation sap

mating with imitation pearls are worn
with theatre hats and light gowns.

The effort to persuade women to
cease adorning their hats with birds or
their plumage has not been very sue
cessful, for feminine vanity has de-
manded this slaughter of the inno-
cents. Englishmen have on this occa-
sion proved themselves more humane
than the women of the land. Sir John
Lubbock has secured the abolition of
the use of osprey plumes in the British
army. He pointed out that these
plumes were stripped from the birds in
their breeding season, involving the
death and the destruction of tHeir
young by starvation. On learning this

officers should no longer aid in this
