Cheap Down Pillows.

For the woman with short purse
and an inordinate craze for down pill
lows here is a suggestion. 1t is one
worth having, for it means no outlay
of cash, and the object in view is ac-
complished with only the fatigue con-
sequent upon long walks and Jealous
reaching. Is the woman summerirg

banks Il profussion of cattails grows,
then her task is easy, according to the

can at that stage when the pods are
ripened to bursting, and the silky down
contained therein will fill pillows galore
and answer the same purpose as the cX-
pensve article. Another substitute is
the flossy substance of the common milk
weed pods. Gather these in the fall of
the year, hang them in large paper

winter is over each pod will have burst
and your bags will be filled with de-

MANAGES A SAWMILL.
ST. Louis Society Girl Gives Up the
Luxuries of Home to Run an
Arizona Plant.

Miss Amelia Judson, of st. Louis, be-
came an Arizona sawmiller all in one
dav. Her brother had invested 900
in timber lands and built sawmill and
established the Judson lumber camp,
22 miles northeast of Williams, AriZ.
He made speciality of timber suitable
for boxes for the California fruit trade
and from the start was successful. In
June, 1898, young Judson's mother and
sister came to visit him. Miss Judson
had just finished course at Cornell
university and expected, after leaving
Arizona to go to Paris to study art.
But misfortune prevented. Only a
week before she and her mother had
intended to return to ST. Louis, Andrew
Judson became suddenly i'll with
typhoid fever and died. That was last
October.
There was but one thing to do. Three
important contracts for lumber and
box material were in course of fulfill
ment when the ambitious young lum-
herman died. Both mother and daugh-
ter realized that thousands of dollars
of their money was tied up in the lum-
Der camp and that the only way to save

venience.

1t is not often that men desire that
life mask be taken of their features;
they prefer to wait till after death be-
fore undergoing such an ordeal. Yet
several residents of Chicago have passed
through this unpleasant process, and
their masks adorn their parlor or Of
fees. Masks from life are taken al
most precisely in the same way as after
death, save that much greater care has
to be used, as the subjects life hangs
on very thin thread, or to be more
precise, two small quilts. 1t requires
great deal of nerve and patience to
undergo, the sensation being most dis
agreeable. When mask from life is
about to be secured the subject reclines
on a long table and towels are placed
around his neck and forehead to pre-
vent the plaster going where not in
tended. The face is slightly CREASED,
but not enough to fill the pores of the
skin. Care has to be especially taken
with the eyelashes, as otherwise, in
the subsequent operations, these are
likely to be pulled off. A small quill is

the subject to breathe through and cot
ton wool lightly pressed around the
base to keep the liquid plaster from in
truding. A pair of scissors is always
kept handy SO as to be able to cut off
the tops of the quilts should by any
chance the plaster splash up and cover
them.
All being ready the plaster is care
fully poured over the features. The
following operations have then to be
performed with skill and celebrity: Di-
rectly the plaster lightly covers the
face a small but strong thread is laid
on either check running from the top
of the head down to the neck and
pressed into the plaster until it almost
touches the skin. Additional plaster is
now placed on until the whole is about
an inch in thickness. Ere this has
quite set the aforementioned threads
are pulled up through the mold S. as to
cut the plaster, otherwise i would be
impossible to remove it from the face.
The subject whose mask is being taken
is now having a lively time. The plas-
ter presses and burns his cheeks. He
thinks of all the horrible things that
might happen should those two little
Cuills get choked. Not sound of the
outer world can he hear save some in
distinct rumbling and the thud, thud
of his beating heart almost deafens him.
Hours seem TO pass and he is powerless
to know what is going On. He lies help
lessly there and, perhaps, out of
curiosity, tries to raise an eyelid. That
settles LIN, as by this time the plaster
has hardened and holds the lid in an
immovabe grip. a sickly sensation
comes ever lim-he feels paralyzed
and unconscously gives a long groan.
This, by the way, can only come
through the quilts in his nostrils, and il
naturally alarms lie operator, who i'm
mediately shouts rs loudly as he can
to know if anything is the matter. The
subject is just able to hear his voice
and SO raises his hand, prearranged
signal that "all's we'll"
The plaster, through being mixed
with warm water, quickly hardens and
in the course of about five minutes the
mold is strong enough to be taken off.

THE NORMAL WOMAN.
Her Exact Proportions in Plain Fig.
ures, with Some Notes on the
Cultivation of Beauty.

Female beauty according to famous
artists and sculptors is a question of
proportion merely, and, since this is
so, large number of women will be
surprised to see how nearly they con-
form to physical perfection by finding
a striking similarity between the sculp-
tors ideal and their own forms. When
these proportions do not agree in the
majority of cases the figure has been
marred by injudicious treatment-tight
corsets, small shoes, lack of proper eX-
ercise, etc.
Let the length of the head be what it
will, a woman's height should be seven
and half times its length, or ten times
the length of her face, or nine times the
length of her hand, or six and half
times the length of her foot, or, with
arms outstretched, from finger to finger
exactly as she does from head to toe.
: The exact proportions for perfect
woman should be five feet four inches;
weight. 1875 pounds; bust, 36 inches;
waist, 25 inches; hips, 81 inches; thigh,
25 inches; calf, 14h inches; ankle, s
inches; hands, inches; feet, 10 inches.
The distance between the temples
should be the exact length of the face;
the arms should be three times the
length of the head, and the shoulders
should be two heads in width.
Beautiful eyes are wide open with
heavy lashes and delicately penciled
eyebrows. Beautiful ears are set close
to the head and must be small and deli
cately shaped. The perfect hand need
not be small-it must be in proportion
10 ones height-but it must be well
shaped with gradually tapering fingers
and curved nails. The perfect foot has
a high instep. This is the possession OF
but few women because of their badly
fitting shoes. A beautiful neck and
shoulders are prizes which every young
woman may possess if she is willing
TO pay the price. The rules for their
cultivation are simplicity wearing
loose clothing so that ones movements
may be free, and by wearing shoes with
low heels; by taking plenty of sleep,
daily baths, plenty of exercise, fresh
air might and day., simple, nourishing
food, and a course of gymnastic exer-
else to insure uniform development.
The normal woman should reach the
perfection of her beauty at the age of
25, and II is the normal woman who
alone is beautiful.-Mrs.M Mary Easton,
In American Queen.

A HEALTH ESSENTIAL.
Even ~ Excessive Is a
Condition 60 &c Sought Rather
Than Avoided.

"Perspirntion is essential to health"
writes Edward d. Warman. "a person
in good health never suffers from the
heat or the cold unless unduly exposed.
One may be Inconvenience by excess
sive perspiration, but it is condition
of health rather to be sought than
to be avoided. Too much of good
thing, however, is not desirable. Prop
er care of the body, proper diet, proper
exercise, with proper bathing, will pro-
duce the normal condition-in which
condition the heat will not Cypress
anyone. Let me especially caution
against the too sudden checking of
pcrspiration. Millions of canals or
tubes from the inner part of the body
open their little mouths at the sur
face, and through these channels, as
ceaseless as the flow of time, a fluid,
containing the wastes and impurities
of the system is passing outward and
is emptied out of the skin. This fluid
must have exit or we die in few hours.
If it does not have vent at the surface
of the body it must have some internal
escape. Nature abhors shocks as she
does a vacuum. Heat distends the
mouths of these ducts and promotes a
larger and mere rapid. flow of the con-
tanned fluid; on the other hand, cold
contracts them, and the fluid is at first
arrested, then damned up, and then it
rebounds. If these mouths are grad
ually closed nature has time to adapt
herself to the circumstances by OPEN
ing her channels into the great inter-
nal waterways of the body, and no
harm follows; hence the safety and
wisdom of cooling off slowly after any
exertion, and the danger of cooling off
rapidly under the same circumstances.
Encourage perspiration under proper
conditions and with proper rrecau-
tons. Always keep the surface of the
body warm and clean, and at the epd
of the season you will be mentally,
morally and physically sound."-La-
dies Home Journal.

ENGLISH IDEA OF AN INDIAN.
4 Chicago Waiter Furnishes an OK
ford Mnn with Food for
Thought.

There are two or thr0e people in Chi
cago who would be much interested
Just now if some one would enlighten
them as to how much instruction upon
general matters is given at the Univer-
sity of Oxford, England. These Chi
cagoans, whose minds doubtless are
| benighted, have, however, a lurking
suspicion that OXonian teaching must
be specific rather than broad. They are
willing to be undeceived, but perhaps
even graduates from the great English
university will acknowledge that their
thoughts have some basis for exist
ence.
An Englishman of rank and money
visited Chicago recently, and with him
came his private secretary, a young,
frcsh-faced, jolly fellow just out of Ok
ford university. The secretary brought
letters of introduction to II Chicago man
from a well-known London actor and
an equally prominent man of letters.
The Englishman came direct to Chi
cago, making no stop in New York.
The secretary called upon the Chicago
man to whom he had letters and who
did little entertaining, inviting three
city friends to meet the private secre-
tary at luncheon at noted restaurant.
1t was after the cigars were lighted
that the conversation turned upon
things American. The Chicagoans
knew that the Britons were credited
with believing that they could shoot
buffaloes under the shade of the Audi
forum and shoot grizzlies along the
Skokie, but they were not quite pre-
pared for what was to come. The lit
tie luncheon party had been waited
upon by coal black negro with crisp
hair curled tight to his head. The sec
rotary throughout the repast had eyed
the attendant with interest. When the
waiter finally had left the room the
English guest turned to his host and
said:
'Mr. Nelson, it seems to me that /
read somewhere that the American In
dams had straight hair. The hair of
the one who waited on us curls like
Astrakan. "-Chicago Tribune.

out, looked up and down the street,
