cover underneath is used to prevent
the elastic material from being pierced

fitting the pieces for the garment over

by the inventor, woman, Ella NJ
Schrader, of Seattle, Wash, to reen-
force the portions of the lining where
it is apt to expand unduly. An elastic
belt, adjustable to any size, which en-
circles the waist portion of the body,
prevents undue expansion at this
point. When the average woman's

MULES FOR LORD ROBERTS.
New Orleans to Send 10000 in Addi-
ton to 10000 That Have Al
ready Been Shipped.

1t is announced that the British
war office has decided to order the
shipment from New Orleans of a
fourth batch of 10000 mules and a
large number of horses for the serv-
ice of the British army in South Afri-
ca; that of the American mules al
ready sent there many thousands have
become panicstricken in recent mill
tary movements and have escaped or
been rendered useless, and that Gen.
Roberts advance has been postponed
until he can obtain enough mules for
the transportation of his supplies and
horses for remounts, reports the New
York Sun.
The customhouse statistics show the
shipment to date of 10000 mules from
New Orleans. of total value of ST.
979,S75 and of 1922 horses of a value
of S154,312. the mules averaging $95
each and the horses $102. The ship
ments are now being made at the rate
of about 1000 a month or a cargo
every week. The shipment of mules
to South Africa and other transport
duty has resulted in the withdrawal
from the regular service of New Or
leans of no fewer than SO ships, Grip
ping to some extent the regular COM
mercial lines of importation. but this
loss has been more than made good
by the great increase given to the
horse and mule trade as well as the
shipment OF hay, food and other sup
plies to South Africa. Previous to the
recent shipment to South Africa. no
horses had been exported to foreign
ports through New Orleans.
While nothing official has been
stated as to these purchases. from the
opinions expressed of the otncers max
ing the shipments, it is believed that
the horse and mule export business
will be kept up all summer. and that
the shipment will exceed the 10000 ex-
pected

waists, without requiring the pres

of the body. In using this form, one
of series of different sizes and shapes

MASSAGE FOR THE FACE.
When Properly Administered 1t 10
a Boon to the Skin and Improves
the Complexion.

No woman, however regular her fea-
lures or charming her form, is beauti-
full if her complexion be bad. The
complexion is the keystone of good
looks.
One of the reasons little children
are so sweet is that they have such
peachy, kissable compilations.
You can, perhaps, on poor, ill-used
digestion and miserable circulation,
bolster up an artificial complexion for
a night. But it deceives nobody. The
woman with muddy, wrinzled skin
must go to the root of the evil.
She must attend to her general
health. Let her see to her digestion,
take plenty of exercise, eat whole,
some food, and neither too much nor
too little of that; battle regularly and
well every day--in a word, observe the
ordinary rules of health. Then it will
be time to begin what is called local
treatment of the skin.
1t is very difficult to lay down posi-.
tive rules that every woman should
follow for her individual complexion.
What benefits one skin is downright
ruin to another. Some skins thrive
on drastic scrubbing; others need
tender care. Facial massage, properly
administered, is boon to the skin,
but no woman should ever attempt to
manipulate her face without thor
oughly understanding how it should
be done. The flesh around the chin
and under the eyes must be touched
with a light, firm movement; that of
the forehead and cheeks will stand
stronger manipulation. The cheeks
are kneaded firmly with the thumb
and first finger of both hands.
However, the woman who would do
her own facial massage ought first to
go to a reliable masseur or masseuse
and watch carefully how the opera
ton is performed.-N. Y. World.

TO STOP ELOPEMENTS.
Notification of Impending Weddings
Would Put nm End to Rum
away Matches.

Writing on "The Ease with Which
We Marry" in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, Edward Box favors the reestab-
lishment of the custom of publishing
the bans-making such publication
obligatory. This precaution which
our forbears had of giving 80 days pub
lie notice of an intention of marriage,
proclaimed from the pulpit and posted
at the r.blic hail." he believes, was
born of wisdom and rested on a sound
foundation. The pity is that we ever
got away from it. 1 don't say that a
return to this old custom of proclama-
ton of marriages would be panacea
for all marital evils. But it absolute
ly would do away with all the runaway
marriages, sentimental elopements and
the life compacts born of a single
moonlight night, from which results
SO much unhappiness to our girls, and
which have brought and will continue
to bring, so much humiliation and, dis
grace upon parents and families. 1t is
a significant fact that in those Europe
an countries where intention of mar
rage must be publicly proclaimed a
fortnight or a month previous to the
actual ceremony, and where the addi-
tional precaution of civil marriage is
added to the religious ceremony, di-
vorce is hardly known"

Jack was glad Polly did not know
about the ten-cent flag he could have

to spare out of their scanty earnings,

that speech he felt small. What if he
were but bootblack, earning a most

only an odd dime now and then by
scrubbing floor or tending children

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
Some Interesting Facts and Figures
Concerning Poor LO of
To-day.

Excluding the members of the five
civilized tribes and the Indians in Alas
ka, says correspondent of the Chi
cago Record. there are 1S5,947 Indians
in this country. of whom 90,95O now
wear citizens dress wholly and 40 1905
in part. The tepees are rapidly dis
appearing and being displaced by
comfortable cabins.
The Indians cannot readily sell their
wares unless they are prepared crude
ly or decorated after the method of
their savage ancestors. That retards
development. Many of them have
artistic ideas and mechanical train
ing, yet to dispose of their handiwork
they initiate the primitive designs of
their forefathers. They are going
back to beaded leggings because curio
hunters will pay more for the rude
and gaudy articles. Instead of manu-.
featuring their own dyes as formerly,
they now use patent dyes.
A pottery was recently established
at Zuni, in which it was proposed to
instruct the Indians that they might
improve, and arrangements were
made for them to glaze their wares.
But they refuse, because the unglazed.
old-fashioned pottery sells better, and
porous jugs are preferred because
they keep the water cooler.
