Favorite Perfumes.

A great many well-known men and
women have been fond of different
scents, as is historically known, but it
is hard to say how far their characters
fit in with this new idea. For instance,
Nero loved the scent of roses, whether
distilled or from the freshly cut flow
ers; Louis XIV. delighted in the per-
fume Of orange flowers; while Rich
elieu liked a different scent in each of
the rooms; the Empress Josephine
soaked her things in musk; and Ma
poleon is said to have emptied a whole
bottle of eau-de-Cologne over his
clothes when he was dressed; Victor
Hugo rejoiced in wild flowers; Alex
ander Dumas loved the Towering myr-
tie, and Charles Dickens adored white
jasmine.

Chinese Lady's Toilet.

The style of a Chinese lady's wear
ing apparel seldom alters. If she hap
pens to be wealthy she dresses entirely
in silk, the first garment consisting of
a sort of apron or plain piece of silk
tied around the waist and overlapping
behind. Then comes the underjacket,
then the o~verjacket, trousers and
apron. Finally, If she Is going to pay
calls, or for any other reason wishes
to appear particularly charming, she
paints her face with a paste made of
wet rice -four, which dries and gives
a most deathlike appearance. She
then emoves the paste from her eyes
and lips with a wet cloth, and, wet
ting a finger, draws it three times
round her throat, and the three red
marks thus left complete the toilet,
which is to render her absolutely ire
sistible. A stiff, fat fan and a powder
box, with a little mirror in the lid by
which she can see to periodically touch
her face with the powder puff, invari-
ably accompany the Chinese lady
throughout the day.-London Mail.

Outlets a Baby.

At another farmhouse the candidate
found the good wife struggling with
her household duties and a fretful
baby at the same time. The judge
said good morning" and then went
to the baby's crib, where he looked
the little mite over. Then he "cooed"
softly a few times and the baby stared,
stopped crying and became interested.
Then 1t smiled and the Judge cooeo
some more. In a little while the baby
went to sleep and the judge set about
making himself otherwise useful. He
made the best hired girl in the neigh
borhood look like 80 cents, as the
woman Of the house testified in a con-
v~ersation with a neighbor next day.
When the farmer at this place got
home his surprise at the excellence
of the meal, the neatness of the house,
and, above all, the quietness of the
baby was beyond expression. When
told that it was the judge who did it
he could scare restrain his enthu-
siasm. He went to the store that
night and told all about 1t, and there
were three cheers for the Judge, who
pulls off exactly II votes on the baby
deal.

WOMEN OF CHINA,
Their Elves an Unhappy One from the
Cradle to the Gave.

Enefr Lives an Unhappy One from the
! Cradle to the Gave.
There are two events which gladden.
the somber, restricted life OF the Chi
nese woman-one her marriage at an
early age, the other the birth of a son.
NO greater distinction awaits the Chi
nese woman in this world thar to give
birth to a son-in the next she is of
little consequence, as she is not sup
posed to possess a soul. Her lot here
is not an enviable one, for If she is
OF high caste she is secluded in her
husbands home, and cannot walk on
her mutilated feet. and if she Toes
not bear her husband many IONS she
is regarded as a piece of useless fur
niture. A Chinaman desires offspring
for the selfish reason that his bones
may be worshiped-if he is not a
parent he cannot be an ancestor, which
would be a calamity in a country
where the religion consists mainly in
sitting on a tomb and reciting the vir-
tues of the dead. Girls in China are
accounted as household shadows and
household sorrows" Formerly they
were drowned like bind kittens at
birth, but the missionaries are respon-
sible for the doubtful good of preserv-
ing their lives in later years. The

and in every way they can show their
contempt for them, believing that a
man should do this in order to main
tain his WI supremacy. Some of
their popular sayings convey this idea.
"a mar should listen to his wife, but
he must not believe her" "a wom-
ans mind is quicksilver; hes heart is
wax" The love-making in China IS
Of the most intricate and r9atter-of-
fact kind. The contracting parties acs
betrothed in childhood, often in their
infancy, and sometimes before either
was b~ n 1t would seem as if all the
superstitions of the rest Of the world
had been banished to China, whose
kingdom they hold for their own. A
%Chinaman is afraid to look over his
shoulder, for he knows he'll see a
ghost-that he never did see one has
10 weight with him. If he sneezes his
wife is thinking Of him, and he feels
that all is right at home, but if his
neighbor sneczes and he does not he
believes himself neglected and be-
mOrbidly Jealous. Quite like
other women, the Chinese wife has her
little plans and schemes and advises
her husband to wear a wet handker-
chief in his hat to keep his shaver poll
from sunstroke. When the towel
1ools he naturally sneozes, and when
he goes home comrlends his wife for
thinking of him during his absence.

STILL THE TOUCH OF GOLD.

The touch of gold seems to be used
On every genre of costume. The street
suit, the elaborate dinner gown and
the unconventional negligee are all
conspicuously indebted to it. Gold
lace has appeared as a dress trimming,
but the lace is Of such delicate threads
and is SO odd as to pattern that it
is not at all suggestive of military
lace. 1t is used a great deal on fancy
blouses. Boleros of guipure, point de

piled upon gold tissue and finished
with gold buttons or tassels. Bands
of the lace also are applied to bands

does not claim to be either a wonder
or a hero. He says he is just making
a plain canvass among the plain peo-

loot foremost. AS domestic matters
are ever uppermost in the minds oil
all good married men he has learned
the arts OF cooking, of tending babies,
OF sweeping carpets, of petling pota-

Her Grace of Sutherland Is Beautiful
and Socially Powerful.
Every inch a duchess is her tall,

The greater portion of the duchess

Notes from the rars Expedition.

THE Singer Manufacturing Com
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditahle exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Glass 70, at the

they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country On the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high
ly pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that 1t
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International jury to Singer Sew
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction. efficiency and
Tor remarkable development and adap-
ton to every stitching process used
In either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
he International Jury at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago.
where Singer machines received 81
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
