WOMAN'S WORLD.
PHOEBE A. HEARST.
a Missouri Girl who Beoano Famous
Her DevotIou IN ChiIdreu

| mtssourt GIRL who Becano Famous
Her Devotion to Children.
"About fifty years ago Mrs. Hearst
was born in Missouri. Her namo was
Phoebe Apperson, and she came Of
| good Southern stock, her father Vir-
ginian, her mother South Carolinian.
Her parents and the parents of Mr..
Hearst were neighbors, and the little
girl, born to the Appersons, was named
for Mrs. Hearst mother of the boy
who was to be her husband. Young
Hearst went to California, found sue
cess, and returned to make his Mis-
souri, sweetheart his wife, taking her
TO California while she was still in
girlhood. Before she was twenty, her
son was born-the only child she has
had. Mrs. Hearst says she regrets
that she has had only one child. She
would like to have raised family of
sons and daughters, but as she has
brought up several nieces, and has
educated and reared the children of
her kith and kin, to say nothing of
the countless children for whose edu-
cation she has provided in the kinder
gartens she has endowed, and the
young geniuses she has schooled in
Europe, she seems TO have done her
full personal duty to humanity.
''In appearance Mrs. Hearst is slight
and not tall. She gives an impression
of fragility which is scarcely carried
out by her ceaseless activity. Some
times the nervous exertion tells on
her, and she is forced to delegate
social duties to her assistants. Al
though she employs corps of secre-
taries, Mrs. Hearst always opens her
letters. 1t is characteristic of the
thoroughness of the woman. And
this, although her mail runs into hun
dreds of letters day. Most of them
are begging letters from people who
do not know that this sympathetic and
charitable woman is too wise to give
except through organized channels.
"Mrs. Hearst's hair is pale brown,
lightly silvered with gray. 1t is parted
at the middle and ripples away at the
side in Madonna.like coiffure very
becoming to Mrs. Hearst's benign ex-
preston and regular features. The
nose is straight, regular and rather
small, the eyes large. full and gray,
and the forehead well shaped and pro-
nounced in intellectually. The lips
are rather thin, delicately curved and
almost colorless. There is very little
color in the cheeks.
''In spite of her life in the public
eye, and the Importance which her
position has thrust upon her, in spite
of the responsibilities of her wealth,
Mrs. Hearst has horror of publicity.
She has been interviewed many times,
and has been misquoted many times.
She cannot see why she cannot be left
to lead her life in her own way, and
she does not understand why the pub
lie should be interested in all she does
and says. She is quite sincere in say
ing that she does not see that she is
at all extraordinary. She has not yet
realized that an unselfish person, de-
voted to the public good, with no
thought of self and no desire for self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, is the most remark
able being on earth. ."-Ainslce's Maya

The Question of the Nose.

Mothers should care for the noses
of the children and see that they grow
properly. The soft tissues of the OF
gan can be moulded in early life. A
thick nose can be made thinner by
regular treatment, such as compress
ing it daily, either with the fingers or
with instruments made with springs
and padded ends so as to clasp the
nose. A clothes-pin has been used
and so adjusted as to bring about the
right amount of compression. Many
noses are wrung and twisted out Of
shape by the vigorous use of the hand
kerchief. The delicacy of the struc-
ture Of the nose is not appreciated.
The shape and size of the nose are
often of character to cause great dis
tress to the person, and the deformity
for in some instances it really
amounts to this-is borne with forti-
tude and resignation as something
which cannot be remedied. The i'm
portance of the nose in its relation to
appearance has been appreciated by
the modern surgeon, and he does not
regard it as beneath his dignity to per.
form operations for the improvement
of this feature. Noses which are nat
urally misshapen and those have been
made so by blows and accidents are
restored, or modified to assume Il
proper shape. Usually a deformed
nose interferes with the air-passages,
nal lrowing or blocking them, and the
operation is a matter of necessity as
well us of appearance. Persons do
not hesitate to spend time, money and
much endurance to have their teeth
Strengthened; it is often quite as i'm
portant to the health, aud more inn
portant to the looks, to have the nose
Strengthened or to have it restored to
a more desirable form.-Dr. Grace
Peckham Murray, in Harper's Bazaar.

Cromwell as an Idol.

'It was not until 1885," says Mr..
Morley, in the Century, "that Crom-
we'll had begun to stand out clear in
the popular imagination, alike OF
friends and foes, as O leader of men.
He was now the idol of his troops.
He prayed and preached among them
he played uncouth practical jokes with
them; he was not above a SNOWFALL
match against them; he was brisk,
energetic, skilful soldier, and he was
an invincible commander. In Parlia.
ment he made himself felt, as having
the art OF hitting the right debating
nail upon the head. The Saints had
an instinct that he was their man, and
that they could trust him to stand by
them when the day of trial came. A
good commander Of horse, say the OK
perts, is as rare as good commando
in.chief, he needs so rare union Of
prudence with impetuosity. "

The Latest In skirts.

The changes in skirts seem to con-
sist principally in still more careful
ose-dtting around the hips and not
in any reduced quantity of material
required, or any waning popularity for
the plaits which are so much in evil
dence just at the moment. The grace
full flare, which adds so much to the
beauty Of outline, will be increased
rather than lessened, and plain skirts
evidently will be quite out of the ques-
ton. The trained effect appears on
all the models which are as yet being
sent out from Paris.
The newest round skirt from Paris
is either goffered, tucked or gathered
at the waist and over the hips. Other
skirts are tucked at the top and then
accordeon-plaited. This Killed cloth
is chic and has the advantage of nov
city, but unless carefully manipulated
it will develop ints an unwieldy gar
ment. If the skirt is plated, the
plated waist will be Ell suite. The
plaits on gowns for different wearers,
and in the use of different fabrics, will
be widely diversified from the finest
accordeon width to rather broad box
plaits, which graduate to almost a
point at the top on some of the French
skirts, and widen proportionately at
the top of tho waist, tapering grace
fully from the chest to the belt.
A skirt which attracted much atten-
ton on the street the other day con-
sisted of a plain back satin skirt foun-
dation, with an applique of chenille
trimming around the foot. But over
it fell an oyerskirt of blue plaid Irish

The use of sealing wax has become
so generally fashionable that before
long it may be considered vulgar to
seal envelopes with gum. Who knows
but there may be a revival, too, of
those mysterious love signs which
were rampant in the good old days of
yore? Sixty or more years ago Il
flaming red wafer was used by de
spairing lover when sealing letter
to indicate distressed and bleeding
heart; yellow one when jealousy
was ranking in his breast; black
one indicated anger and resentment;
a green one, tlckleness; violet one,
faithfulness and constancy, and q
blush pink, blissful contentment and
happiness. Quaint old seals engraved
with notices, with crests and mono
grams, have become much sought
after, and the most fascinating of all
is the old fashioned set of seven seals
with motto for each day of the
week.

Several years ago at Brownhelm,
Ohio, near Lake Erie, there were dis
covered some remains of a mastodon,
and now, under the direction of Pro-
fessor A. A. Wright, OF Oberlin
College, series of systematic. exca.
vations have been commenced with the
object of recovering all the parts. AL
ready the jaws, head, both tusks, and
a number of ribs ard vortebra have

At the Laboratory of Hygiene of the
Vermont State Board of Health at
Burlington, it is proposed to make
systematic chemical and biological
examinations of the public water sup.
plies of the cities and towns of the
State. 1t is the intention of the board
to conduct examinations of the prin-
cipal streams OF the State, and also
all supplies serving twelve or more
families. 1t is considered that this
work, in addition to being a direct
benefit to the people of the State, will
also serve to make the various resorts
and country towns more attractive to
people from the cities during the sum-
mer, as the danger of contracting dis
ease from unwholesome water will be
reduced to a minimum, since the exact

reached their ears. At the height of
5000 feet the ringing of horses feet
on hard road could be heard. At
1000 feet the splashing sound made by
ducks in pond was audible. The
barking of dogs and the Growing of
cocks could be heard at 1000 or 5000
feet. These sounds penetrated through
white floor of cloud which hid the
earth from sight. In the perfect ST.
lence of the air around the balloon
they were startled by what seemed
stealthy footsteps close at hand. In
vestigation showed that this sound
was caused by the stretching of the
ropes and the yielding of the silk as
the balloon continued to expand.
