Enoct Is Wonderfully Good, Though tha
 Idea Is Not New.
 Something, although not strictly new, certainly worthy of notice, Ia painting upon lace for decorative and household purposes. The work is in imitation of old Cretan laces. which were made with colored threads. ar- ranged as patterns upon a black or white ground. It is executed with water-colors, and can be used for sofa cushions and similar things, frills for old-looking portiers. to give them ths air of antiquity, or for dainty bed or couch dressing. The colors are made fast by the use of fxatiYe, and though they will not stand washing they will not spoil from atmospheric causes. To paint: Use yeloutine as a fxative; moist water-eolors, with Chinese white of body eolors, red sable brushes, and work upon lace of good designs. Stretch the lace and pin it down to a drawing board, so that every part of it is quite secure. Select the colors to use, and where they are applied and over every place that Is to be painted lay a wash of Chinese white and veloutine, pass that over parts already sized with the veloutine, and then paint the lace with bright colors in set pattern. Metallic colors, such as gold, silver and bronze. can be applied in the same way to the lace. See that the colors are thorough ly absorbed into the lace, and remem- Der the more broken and diversified the coloring the better the effect

FROM THE FROG
One May Get Some Valuable Lessons aa
 Swimming

One May Get Some Valuable Lessons aa
 Swimming.
 Washington Star: A swimmer. no matter whether he is a beginner or an expert, cannot improve upon the ad- vice of his great-grandfather, which is to go to brook or swamp and study the manner and methods of the frog, :" remarked an ex-ehampion of the New York Athletic club to a writer for the Star recently. "The most expert swim mers in the world are tyros compared to the laziest bullfrogs. The difficulty with all swimmers is that they spoil the effect of the stroke by the recovery. When a frog starts off he draws his legs carefully and slowly up under him un- til he is in the position of a man sit ting on his launches. Then he sud- denly gives mighty spring in the water, kicking his legs out, behind him. but almost directly crosswise. After the kicks his legs are slowly drawn together by his motion through the water until they hang out behind him in perfectly rigid form. Every toe of his web feet is held out as straight as an arrow and then nothing retards his motion through the water. Then again he slowly and carefully draws his legs in and repeats the per- formance. You will notice that in drawing the legs up to his body for a second kick the frog recedes a little. This is owing to the action of the up- per leg on the water, and it corre- spends exactly with the similar move ment on the part of man. The first thing frog does is to give his body a good start through the water, and he holds himself in such a way that he gets the whole value of the stroke. A man starts out with just such a kick. but after he has gone two or three feet he will begin to swing his hands for ward or draw up his legs in such a fashion that they offset the whole value of his work. He stops his own body half way before the effect of the stroke has spent itself"

WOMEN O# THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeemlns Feature is Their

EheH kedeeming Feature is Their
 Personal Cleanliness.
 The aristocratic Philippine matFon and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, If they can help It, than that required for driving or shopping. But the peasant woman shares her husbands work. whatever It may be, laboring at the blow behind an ungaiR!y carabao (water- buffaIo) in the paddy-feld, or helping to pole huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And I take pleas ufe Tn saying that, whatever it's pro pfletor's rank or station, the native ShllIppine nipa hut Is invariably marvel of neatness and cleanliness a7 to US interior: far superior in this re spect to the average dwelling-hou be It that of a merchants clerk or that or the goVernor-genera1.

These native womer are rarely employed by the European residents as domestic servants, except h the capacity of lady's maid or cull- dFen's nurse. and even these positions are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable. and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, ren- ders it an almost hopeless and very =ex- asperating task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness. but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of i'm porting Chinese anna from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrast her children to the care of native girl; although when in her own ca paeity as a mother. the Filipina. so far as observation goes. leaves nothing to be desired.-Woman's Home Compaa- ion.

ARE WOMEN sTlMoY7

There Is fine old masculine pre1u- dice that women, as class. are stingy. fhe whole question hangs closely on to the power of earning money, and the woman who makes her own life and her own living is rarely guilty of the vice of parsimony. The horrors of 3 rigid domestic economy are usually practiced by wives to whom a weekly dole for housekeeping is handed out: women who, not possessing a penny 0f their own and having no pin money settled upon them at marriage, arc tempted to pinch and scrape in order to put something by for themselves.
 The woman who earns, on the other hand, especially one who earns on q large scale, is more often than net open-handed to a fault The case of a noVelist-the late Mrs. Oliphant-is one i'll point This courageous pen woman lived always on the fat of the land, travelled en princesse, sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and prac- tlced all the amenities of life. Although a good Scotswoman, we are told by writer in Blackwood that she hated small economies To travel expensive was her way She never would tray- el seeond-class. She had none of what she calls the faculty of economies in her. She stayed at the very best and most expensive hotels; she dressed in the richest of silks and satins."
 
 Mrs. 0liphant, in short, though trifle daring in her expenditure. is a good type of the open-handed working woman. There are at least two ia nous English authoresses today who iiye-and entirely by their own exer- tions-like the wives of peers. They have town and country mansions; they go to Italy, to Egypt, to Japan. when the fancy takes them; they drive ths most sbowy horses they entertain like South African millionaires. To think of them as mean is to imagine an i'm possibility. They earn large sums and they are at considerable pains to spend them as quickly and as joyously aa may be.
 It is the same with actresses and singers The princely Inequalities of certain diva are world-famous. Your popular actress. as a rule. would lika to have four hands with which tc throw her money about, and she does it, indeed, to such effect that a mon- ster benefit is usually got up to supply her with the neeessaries of life toward the close of her career. It is possible. indeed, that women in this connection. are somewhat akin to gamblers. If they make money with ease-or, at any rate, with not too strenuous toil-they are prone to spend it in the most tol- erably light-hearted fashion.
