Why She Declined 1t.

He pointed at his new horseless car
riage, and, with a wildly beating
heart, asked:
''How would you like to take we'd
ding trip in such vehicle as that?"
She shook her head and replied:
''No; don't believe I would care
to do so."
The hope that had been in his
breast left him suddenly. The word,
which had seemed SO bright and beau
tiful but moment before, became
dark, and life retained none of its
former sweetness. She did not love
him after all. Alas! he has been
mista-
Because" she went on, interrupt
ing his gloomy thoughts, "it would
be possible, if we went in your private
yacht, to get SO much farther away
from the haunts of men than if we
confined ourselves to this thing. OF
course, we wouldn't need to care for
the crew."-Chicago Times H erald.

BOstOn's Lone Fisherwoman.

Boston has lone fisherwoman. She
enjoys the distinction of being the
only woman among the many fisher
men who fringe the edges of Bostons s
wharves from sunrise to sunset
She comes to the wharf almost daily
at an early hour, with a small basket.
She does not so home to dinner, but
eats light luncheon which she brings
with her.
Fishing is by no means simply q
pleasure with her. To reporter she
said her fishing partly supported her.
self and her two little children.
81 am not ashamed of my occupa-
tion," she went on to say. "All kinds
of weather find me on the wharf. In
the morning take care of the house
and send the children to school, and
then come down on the wharf and
fish. never suffer any annoyances.
The men who cast their lines from
the wharf treat me with the greatest
respect.
''How much do get for my fish?
Well, that depends. Sometimes l get
as high at three cents apiece for good
sized founders. My neighbors are
my best customers"
The conversation was interrupted
by slight shivering of the line. A
quick jerk, series of hand over hand
motions, and presently big founder
was thrown fiuttering upon the wharf.
With much skill the fisherwoman
pulled the hook from the gills of the
founder and threw the fish into the
partly filled basket.
Business is pretty good today" {"
she said with smile. Everything,
you know, depends upon luck in this
business. I have sat here some
days for hours without getting as much
as nibble, while those sitting beside
me pulled in plenty of fish. Boston

Fashion Notes.

More real lace will be worn during
the winter season than ever before.
The small, chic toque in vogue is al
most a replica of one worn two years
since.
After the craze for gray has subsid-
ed what shall we look for? Brown is
about due.
All over jackets are very smart over
white or light colored frocks, with taf-
feta girdles and lawn, null or taifeta
hats.
There is no end of fancy shirt
waists this season to wear with tailor
made coats and skirts of cloth, tweed
and cheviot.
White, which has been so very
popular all through the summer, still
seems likely to remain in high favor,
even during the winter months.
The new fringes are very attractive.
They vary in width from one to twelve
inches, and are made of silk, beads or
chenille, separately or combined
The foulards shown in the stores
are figured, many of them, in con-
trasting colors. Taffetas i'll stripes
and checks, in black and white and in
brighter shades are very pretty and
make very trim looking waists.
AS to lining, heavy but soft silk is
used this season, rather than ta1eta
for the skirts, and the best tailors use
stout satin to line the waists with, as
it has the advantage of sliding on
easily over any kind of waist.
A novelty is short, tight overskirt
that ends above the knees. This is
cut the same length front and back
and with straight edge. 1t is not
particularly graceful, but has smart
appearance on certain kind of cloth
gown.
One of the new fads is the wearing
of coral. This pretty but old fashioned
stone, once favorite for children,
particularly for necklaces and brace
lets, now bids fair to become popular
with the smartest of toilets. Any pos
sible chance of economy in this line is
dispelled by the fashion of setting
them round with diamonds.

why the Sailors Went DRY.

Louis, an old sea dog from Austria
who has sailed the briny deep from
Baffin's Bay to No Mans Land, enjoys
comparing his present position in the
American marine service to that he
once occupied when sailing in an East
Indian ship from Liverpool to Cal
cutta. The vessel had been becalmed
and the water supply ran short during
terrible hot spell. The crew had to
exist on mouldy sea biscuits, while the
captain, big bully of an Englishman,
lived in luxury. The crew did not OBJ
ject to this until one day, when every
man was almost prostrated by the heat
and lack of sufficient water, they dis.
covered that the captain, knowing the
sufferings of the men, had been taking
baths daily in fresh water IN tub in
his cabin. Almost an open mutiny
broke out, and squad of the tars,
headed by Louis, was sent aft to see
the captain about getting some more
drinking water.
He told the captain frankly that they
knew of his taking baths daily in his
cabin in fresh water, and that every
instinct of humanity dictated that he
should forego his fresh water baths
until he reached port and gave the
crew the water which he would other
wise have used for his ablutions. The
captain became livid with rage at the
'''audacity" of the men.
"What!" he shouted. "You bloom
ing lubbers want to take away from
me my morning tub! Not ye, says I.
I cawn't do without me tub, so I
cawn't, ye know. Do ye think I can
give ye all the drinkin' water ye want?
Not me, says I. Get out O. here"
That evening he gave each man an
extra half pint of water, bnt he had a
fresh water bath each morning, never
theless. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Care of the Feet.


A good deal of needless pain and
often OF positive ill-health is caused by
neglecting to take proper care of the
feet. If they are allowed to become
uncomfortable exercise is at once diff
ficult, and the general health suffers
from the want of it. A troublesome
corn or an ingrowing toe nail may be
a small thing in itself, but it is often
enough to cause general lowering OF
the strength, and to pave the way to
severe illness. Even if there were no
possibility of such serious result, it
would be worth while to take such
care of our feet as to enable them to
carry us through life with as little
trouble as possible.
The great point to be observed in
the care of the feet is absolute cleanli-
ness. The hands, being exposed to
the air and sight are frequently
washed, for we see that they are dirty,
but it is often considered that week
ly or bi-weekly washing of the feet
is sufficient. Now, the result OF shut
ting up the feet in close fitting boots,
which are necessarily deficient in VEN
tilation, is that they become tender,
and corns are formed very readily.
The feet perspire as much as any part
of the body, and unless this perspira-
tion is removed, it accumulates, es-
pecially between the toes, and being
poisonous waste matter, it sets up ir-
ritation, soreness and cracks.
Tender feet will be all the better
if salt, (either common or sea salt) be
added to the daily washing water. and
when tired with walking little am
monia will be found wonderfully re-
freshing, as we'll as cleansing. 1t is
good plan to powder the feet well with
boracic acid after washing and drying
them, and if there is any little sore
ness between the toes to place be-
tween them tuft of cotton wool
dipped in the powder.
For corns, both hard and soft, cas-
tor oil is an excellent remedy. First
soak the feet in warm water, and in
the case of hard corns, remove as
much of the dry, horny cuticle as
possible without causing pain or
bleeding, and then take piece of
linen or cotton wool, saturated in the
oil and sprinkled over with boracic
powder and apply it to the corn.
Cover it with piece of gutta percha
tissue or oil silk, or it will soil the
stocking and shoe when these are put
on. Persevere with this remedy for a
few days, and though it may not eff
feet cure it will often prevent all in
convenience from the corns for months
together.

A Soapless Country.

In spite of British rule, India is still
virtually soapless country. Through
out the villages of Hindostan soap is
indeed regarded as natural curios-
ity, and it is rarely, if ever, kept in
stock by the native shopkeeper. In
the towns it is sold to certain ex-
tent, but how small this is may be
gathered from the fact that the total
yearly consumption of soap in India
is about 100, 900 hundredweight- that
is to say, every $500 persons use on
an average only 1l2 pounds of soap
among them, or, in other words. con-
siderably less than an ounce is the
average consumption a person.

!; FOR WoMAN'S BENEFIT. !;
Girls BrIphter Than Bows

Professor w. E. Ashforth of Chat
tanooga university, after careful
study of 1900 school children, colored
and white, declares that the number
of bright girls in general greatly ex-
ceeds the number of bright boys, taken
by grades. Professor Ashforth be-
lieves that this is no exception to what
may be discovered in most schools
throughout the country and he attrib-
utes the condition to the unguided
freedom which many parents grant to
boys. These influences tend to draw
attention away from things which
strengthen mentality, while the more
severe requirements which are de-
manded by girls of society are giving
girls the greater mental strength.

An Important Detail.

81 want to see some blankets" said
a lady, as she walked into dry goods
store on Woodward avenue. She was
directed to the department where they
were kept Then she took from her
purse small wisp of hair tied with a
blue silk ribbon.
81 want to get pair of blankets to
match that" she said, holding UP the
little lock of hair.
The clerk took her over all the
blankets in stock, but, unfortunately,
none would exactly match the hair.
So the lady said she would have to go
somewhere else. "You see, it's for
my little dog, Fido," she said, ''and
must have it exact" and she swept
out of the store. Detroit Free Press.

Silk popl,n House Dresses.

Silk poplins in beautiful bright
colors are worn by the smartly gowned
woman this season. A gown of gray
blue and poplin is made with folds of
the material coming over the shoul-
ders and meeting in a point just above
the waist. These folds outline a chem
isette of ruched mousseline de sole.
A bolero of lace fastens with three
crystal and coral buttons, and wide
band of lace finishes the bottom of
the skirt. The sleeves are perfectly
plain. In soft, bright red poplin, with
a bolero of cream lace and ceinture
of black velvet, this frock would be
extremely smart. OF nut brown, with
chemisette of pale green silk or
mousseline and creamy lace, is also

Transatlantic Telephony.

There has been great deal of talk
about transatlantic telephony, and,
while the problem is of vast difficulty,
it does not saem entirely impossible
of solution. In a recent paper, though,
Mr.. Spencer has pointed out that since
the minimum difference in time be-
tween any parts of the United States
and Europe is five hours, the business
days do not overlap. Hence, the days.
work is practically over in England,
for example, before it begins in New
York.
This, of course, works immensely
against the value of the transatlantic
telephone, but not more so than an
other consideration-that of cost. AS
suming the cable to cost SIS, 900, 900,
and depreciation, repairs, interest,
etc., tA amount to the modest total of
ten per cent. then, with two hours
of actual use per day (all that reason

HELD AGAINST HER WILL
A Mother Looking for Her Way
ward Daughter.
WAS SEEN AT THE WINDOW
Disappeared at a Dance at Renshau
Hall and Her Mother Fears She
Has Started on Life
or Shame.

The mother Of Eta Smith, pretty
girl with hayward tendencies whose
nome is in Utah avenue, called at po-
lice headquarters yesterday afternoon
to ask for assistance to get the girl
out of house where, the mother
stated, the girl was being held against
her will. In the recital of her troubles
the mother said that last Saturday
evening her daughter and some other
young ladies wanted to attend dance
at Renshaw hall. She did not like to
have the girl go without an older per-
son along, so she went with the girls
TO chaperone them.
While the dance was in progress. Mrs
Smith said, young man whose name
was known to her as George Nichols
came to where she was ST ting with her
daughter, and asked the girl to go out
and have some refreshments. The girl
at first declined, but finally she said
she would like some ice cream soda and
promised to return Immediately. The
mother consented to her going. That
was the last Mrs. Smith saw of her
daughter. She waited till the dance
was out and went home much exercised
in mind, but hoping to find the girl
at home. She was disappointed, the
girl was not there. The mother waited
up till a late hour but the girl did not
come.
The next day was one of great anx-
iety for the mother She feared the
daughter had been led into some indis-
erection, but did not like to impart. her
fears to her husband, as she was I'M
willing to believe her daughter had
done anything wrong and hoped it

with some girl friend, so kept her own
counsel.
When the girl did not come home
Sunday the mother was in great dis
tress, and yesterday morning started
out on search. She met a young man
who had kept company with the girl,
and enlisted his services. While the
search was in progress the young man
by chance saw the girl sitting in a
window at the Oxford. a lodging house
at 800 South Main street. Together
they went upstairs and were met by
the landlady. who insisted the girl was
not in the house and ordered the mother
out. The mother then called on the po-
lice. Detective Murphy went at once
to the Oxford and searched the house
but the girl was not there. From a
woman living in the room adjoining
the one the girl had occupied Detec
tive Murphy learned that the girl had
held high revel all the night before
A further search was made, but up
to last night the police had not sue
ceeded in locating the girl.
The young woman is not quite is
years old, and is good looking. She has
the reputation of having been inclined
to waywardness for some time. A few
months ago sheda tempted suicide be-
cause her father. chided her for her con-
duct. She had been out later than the
father thought was exactly proper, and
he took her to task for the impronriety.
She regarded herself too old to be lee
tured, and in fit of petulance procured
a bottle of laudanum and drank it. 1t
was with some difficulty that a physi-
clan saved her life.

SECURING YOUR SCALP
Will Remove the Loose Dnndruf Scales
But 1t WON'T Cure Dandrnff

If your hair is brittle and thinning, you
have dandruff. The merely securing of
the scalp of the loose scales won't cure
dandrutf, because dandruff is nothing but
scales of scalp being thrown up by a pes
tiferous little, germ in burrowing its way
to the root of the hair, where it saps the
vitality, causing falling hair, and, in
time, badness. Now you can't stop
dandruff nor falling hair, nor prevent
badness unless you destroy that germ.
and the only preparation that can do it is
the new scientific discovery, Newbro's
Herpicide. In fact no other hair prepara-
ton claims to kill the dandruff germ
all of them will clean the scalp; soap and
water will do that. but only Newbro's
Herpicide gets at the root of the trouble
and kills the dandruff germ
