Worth Remembering.

A good rule to remember when one
has costly rings and the habit of TAX
ing them off when the hands are
washed, which, by the way, should al
ways be done if one wishes to take the
proper care of the stones, is always
to place them between the lips, says
a writer in the Criterion. If the habit
is once formed it becomes second na-
ture, and prevents adding another
item to the column of loss, relating to
rings left in hotels. strange dressing
rooms and other places. Said woman
who has magnificent collection of
rings, and who has wisely exercised
this habit since it's inception: Il
have never lost one or mislaid it, and,
what is just as important, I have never
been through all the worrying anxiety
of believing l had lost some one or
all of them" The woman whose fin
gers are clothed with fashy brilliants
up to the joint may demonstrate that
she had no room between her ruby
lips, in which case there are two REM
edies, one, to enlarge the mouth, the
other, to reduce the number of rings
to that proportion which marks the
woman Of taste.

Grace Culture.

A woman who has improved a nat
urally ungraceful figure says that it
has been accomplished by remember
ing every time she is required to stand
to lift herself upon her toes and let
herself down gently, leaving her
weight upon the balls of her feet, in
stead of upon the heels. "When this
is DONE" she says, ''it is not necessary
to think of chin or shoulders" She
has learned to walk in this way, and
says that he feet grow less tired than
formerly, because the portion of her
foot which was intended to bear the
weight is in proper use. A glance at
the position of the arch of the instep
will prove that the body's weight was
never intended to rest upon the heels,
and the habit of throwing it there ac-
counts for weak backs and kindred
ills.

For the Complexion.

One hears of so many girls who COM
plain Of thick or spotty compilations,
and in nine cases out of ten the trouble
is quite easily removed The very
latest cure, and quite the simplest one
to follow, is to wash the face with
parsley water, says recent authority.
1t is done in this way: Take half
pint of rain water and soak in it
large bunch of parsley, letting 1t re-
main in the water all night. In the
morning rub the face we'll with dry
towel, then dip your sponge in the
parsley water, and pass it over your
face, allowing it to dry on. Do this
three times daily, and at the end Of
two weeks If you have persevered in
the simple treatment, you will be- re-
warded to see that there are no more
spots or roughness on your face. Many
of the high-priced complexion nos
trums contain this simple rs1ledy.
which Is as inexpensive as it is effect
ual.

wives, for often, while asserting most
loudly that they are right, they are
frequently conscious that they are
wrong. Given little time and a lit
tie silence they will often show in
actions-rarely in words-that they
have been mistaken. A man expects
his wife to be better than he No mat
ter how little religion a man may have
himself, his ideal wife is always a
woman with the purity of soul that
only a Christian can have; and to a
good man it is usually part Of his re-
ligion to believe that his wife is NOR
ally higher and nobler than himself.
Altogether, too few wives realize that
novelty and variety is as attractive to
man after marriage as before. The
same gown evening after evening,
perhaps the same coiffure year in and
year out, may not exactly pail upon
the taste Of a devoted husband, but he
soon ceases to look at his wife with
the same interest as heretofore. After
a. while she will miss the fond little
compliments that are SO pleasant to
receive, and one Of the most potent of
her womanly weapons grows rusty
from disuse. A wife's position in the
estimation of her husband is always
what she is, not what she claims to be.

An Essential of Health.

OF all forms of exercise, walking is
the best, because it acts on the whole
body, and acts evenly. 1t is the best
of doctors, for its sanitary influence is
moral, as well as physical, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Everybody
should be in the open air at least two
hours daily, and if in ordinary health,
should walk at least two miles daily
mot a dull, rigid, constitutional walk,
but a brisk, joyous, exhilarating walk,
and if possible, walk with an object.
Be it understood that shopping is
not walking, nor is "sauntering." You
must use activity enough to send the
blood faster through the veins, to bring
a glow to the cheek, but you must
stop short Of actual fatigue. To real
ize the best results from walking, do
not carry parcels, as crooking the arm
impedes perfect circulation. If you

The Toilet Of Greatness.

1t is often said that Nine. Patti does
not use water to wash her face. This
is entirely a mistake. The day never
passes that the diva does not use wa
ter literally Both she and Nine. Al
bini have firm belief in rose cold
cream. After washing they always
rub their faces we'll with this cream:
also before making up for the stage.
The Princess of Wales, whose COM
plexion is still exquisite, believes in
massage for the face, and has distilled
water sent every day for her toilet.
The Empress Frederick puts faith in
eau-de-cologne, of which a bottle is
poured every morning into her bath.
Another woman has another recipe for
a good complexion that is the simplest
of all: "WasA your face with hot wa
ter and very mild soap just before
going to bed, and wash it with cold
rain water and no soap when you
rise"

The Age OF "slatterns."

Did you ever stop TO think, asks an
English magazine, what luxury good,
pure complexion soap is? 1t Is one
OF the blessings OF modern advance
L1ent, and one Of the privileges, and,
We may say, attainment5 OF civiliza-
ton. Even i'll the last century a great
step has been taken in regard to clean
1neSs, and women have found out that
pure soap and water, and the free en-
ployment Of thems have proved the
greatest aids to beauty In the days
when powdered hair and the accom-
paniment OF patches and powder, it
can only be imagined what strenuous
efforts our great great -grandmothers
must have made in order to obtain
absolute cleanliness in the face of
fashion. A writer with whom we are
all familiar once termed the beauties
of his time "slatterns." This we be-
lieve to be libel. and we are inclined
to pronounce that gentleman unwor-
thy the name of gentleman, since
probably out Of spite because he was
not held up to alteration by those very
"slatterns," who were, of course, the
bellies, as he thought he deserved. But
truth to tell, the athletic, we'll
gFoomed wholesome-lookin woman
of today is far and away ahead of
her great-great-gran because
of her healthful exercise, her out-of
door life, and-her free use of, not
cosmetics, but good complexion soap
and water.

Heart the o tiy vital SPOT.

A prominent surgeon, discussing the
character OF the wounds received on
the battlefelds in South Africa, has
pointed out that experience Of the
present campaign would seem to show
that the only absolutely fatal region is
the heart. Bullet wounds Of the brain
are not necessarily fatal, judging from
the records of the last few weeks, and
this is presumably due to the small
size of the projectile, the velocity with
which it travels, and the modern prac-
tice of scientific surgery, by which
dangerous symptoms likely to arise
from injuries may be warded off. It
has therefore been suggested that, the
heart being the only really vital part
in the body, a steel covering should be
provided so as to protect that part
from bullets. A steel plate might be
attached to the soldiers tunics, and
doubtless the small shield could be so
fixed as neither TO impede movement
nor cause inconvenience.

Strange Tale of Paris Lover.

A strange tale comes from Paris. A
young man named Frederic Desmon-
lius was to wed his cousin. Marthe
Frondin, but death carried off the
young man on Jan. %. Just before
dying he said: Don't weep, Marthe;
we will be united. I'll come for you in
a months time. Wait for me in your
room. At this same hour | will take
you away" At II p. m, Feb, 20, Nine.
Desmonlius, the dead boys mother,
went to her niece's room, and was hor-
rified to see Marthe arrayed in bridal
robes, with an engagement ring on her
finger, seated in chair with her eyes
fixed staringly on the clock A five
minutes past II violent gust of wind
burst the window open and the lamp
was put out. The aunt cried for help.
When neighbors finally came with
lights Marthe was stretched out on the
floor, dead.

Burned q Child to Get Land.

Some time ago at Fry, l. r., Frank
Hakey was married to the mother of a
six-years-old boy, who is a Greek In
dian. After the marriage he made
Inquiries to ascertain if the child's al
lotment of Indian lands would revert
to him in case Of the death of the child
and found it would. About two months
ago the child was found near the house
suffering from terrible burns. He died
shortly after. A few days ago Mrs.
Hakey told that If Hakey was put un-
der arrest so that he could not kill her
she would tell the story of the child's
death. This was done, and she says
that the child was put in the fire before
her eyes and burned for the purpose of
getting rid of him.

Remarkable Oneration.

A. remarkable operation was per-
formed in Chicago the other day by
which sight was restored to woman
who had been totally blind for seven
years. The operation was performed
on Mrs. F. G. Parker. Dr. G. Pruyn
Stringfeld, consulting physician of the
Chicago Baptist hospital, assisted by
DR.. Allen T. Haight, Dr. Walter Met
calf and DR.. Robert Dodds, did the
work. BY means of the X-ray it was
learned that tumor in the upper por-
tion of the occpital lobe prevented the
flow Of blood which should supply the
optic nerve. The operation was per-
formed by trephining a section Of the
skull, then opening the membranes Of
the brain and removing the tumor The
sight was completely restored.

MRS. LEVY WANTS DIVORCE.
Wife of the Famous "Diamond King"
Tired of Living With Him.

After married life of 25 years,
during which time they have gotten on
well with each other, Mrs. Benjamin
w. Levy, wife of the famous Diamond
King has sued her husband for d.
vorce. Levy owns the great "Kimber-
ley" diamond, which is valued at $50.-
GOO. Cruelty is the ground alleged by
the woman for separation and she re-
lates many instances of cruel treat
ment. Mr. Levy asserts that his wife's
claims are exaggerated in every par
ticular and mostly untrue. He testi-
fed that during his continued absence
in distant parts Of the world his wife
was very literally provided for. He
returned to New York in 1898. after a
long absence. Before going away he
had placed in the vaults of the Nation
al Park bank three United States bonds
OF $1,000 each and number of rare
specimens of diamonds and some yalu-
able jewelry. Soon after his return
he asked his wife for the key of the
vault. When he went to the vault he
found it empty. He accused his wife Of
having disposed of these things and a
separation soon followed. Judge Law
renee Of New York city said that after
SO many years of married life he
thought the couple ought to try to rec
Oncile their difficulties.
