The Critical Year of Married Life.

Some folks have a way of declaring
that the first year of married life is the
most trying" writes Edward Box in the
Ladies Home Journal. But where one
gets close knowledge of several families
the conviction is brought home that the
trying period lies beyond the first year.
| should fix it rather at the third year,
when the pretty trousseau is showing
wear and needs replenising; when the
wedding presents have lost their luster,
and this thing has worn out and that
thing has to be replaced: when a little
family is growing up and doctors bills
are introduced into the family reckoning.
That is the trying period when interests
are apt to become very close. Likewise
calculations. Then it is that the saving
of the comparatively care-free and less
expensive first year of married life comes
in handy, or is sadly missed if the income
was then lived up to in unnecessary buy
ing and foolish entertaining. y great
deal of happiness in this world is wrecked
by debt, and generally the debt could
have been avoided if little more care
and common-sense had been exercised"

Sensible Clothes for Children.

How broad and strong are the sensible
shoes now worn by schoolgirls. No wise
mother Will attempt TO compress either
the waist line or the foot of her little
daughter. Little girls should be ''ex-
pansionists" and have full charge to ac-
aure the capital OF health and strength.

life. A 'skin-tight' dress is mistake.
even if the little maid has a thick waist.
1t is a shame to put stays on tight under
clothing on a little girl before she is

ing loose, warm, light clothing which
does not interfere with her movements.

Myrtle for Wedding.

The pretty custom at English royal
weddings has been in vogue since the
marriage of Queen Victoria. A sprig Of
myrtle from her bridal wreath was plant
ed. When the princess royal, the late
Empress Frederick of Germany, became
a bride, the little branch had grown to
be a tree, and in turn contributed to her
chaplet She followed her mothers ex-
ample, and when the present Emperor of
Germany was married his bride wore
sprigs cut from his mothers tree. The
practice was observed in the marriage
of the Prince of Wales, and has been
adopted by all Queen Victorias children
and grandchildren who have married.

Fault FINDING Helps Nobody.

Contumeiy helps nobody; least of all
the one who administers it. Pessimistic
remarks dampen the enthusiasm Of 9TH
ers, discourage honest effort, and react
on the grumbler. Chronic 'fault-inders
command no favor with employers or fell
low employees, and are not the ones Sc
lected for advancement. Talking failure
makes failure easy. A gloomy, melan-
choly disposition is largely a matter of
habit and materially retards ones adj
vancement. 1t does rot matter if one is
unconscious of these habits, they all fig
ure in the final result of life work. lust

agement.-Success.

Fads of the Bath.

Long before the days of knowledge as
to the hygienic and rejuvenating effect
of the bath beautiful women discovered
the secret of preserving their charms by
ablutionary aids. Chickweed was be-
leved by Isabel of Bavaria to be good
for the complexion, and, accordingly, she
had decoctions of it made in which she
bathed daily. Diana of Poictiers pinned
her faith to cold rain water and took
her matutinual tub as regularly as any
water-loving damsels of today.
The beauties of the last century also
believed in bathing. but they put all sorts
of strange things into the water to inn
prove their skins. Among the many pop
ular additions to the bath We're veal
broth, water distilled from the honey
extracted from roses, melon juice and the
milky extract of green barley, and vari-
GUS preparations containing almonds and
yolk of egg.
Queen Marie Antoinette was fond of
bathing, and liked the water made aro-
matte with wild thyme, laurel leaves and
marjoram, with the addition of little
sea salt.

Fads in TRIMMINGS.

Trimmings Of kid are really more than
a fad: they are fashion. The Paris pa
pers have been full of accounts of a
gown of suede kid worn by a well-known
leader of the haut monde. While gowns
entirely of kid, like gowns made of err
mine, cannot be generally worn, there is
no doubt that kid as trimming is tax
ing, an important place. Stitched bands
and patterns of suede kid on brown cloth
suits. are lovely. White kid on colored
cloth is effective. However, kid is TOO
costly Il trimming to be too layishly used
on simple tailored suits.
Tl'c elaborate coiffures in vogue now
make simple collars a necessity, but these
may be something more than the straight
choker The Directoire collar with its
close turn over flap is in vogue and may
be- quite elaborate when the jacket or
blouse 70 which it belongs has an inserted
vest. In this case the vest runs up, max
ing the front of the choker. and the sides
Of the Directoire cola, are laced across.

PERSIA RICH IN MINERALS.
Oil and Coal Abundant, but Trans~
portAtion Facilities Lacking.

AShCAAuXs
Consul-Gen. Oliver j. d. Hughes of
Coburg writes that from a reliable
source he has just received an interesting
account of the undelevoped treasures in
Persian soil. There are numerous petrOs
leum fields. not one OF which is worked
TO any extent, much less in systematic
way. The petroleum fields in the Prov
incnes of Mazanderan, Gilan, Chasee, Ker-
man, Iuristan and Arabistan are hardly
touched, and render no profits worth men
tioning. In these mountainous regions
naphtha is also said 10 exist in consider
able quantities. Experts On this subject
believe that the two cities, Sohab and
Schuscher, would serve best as central
stations from which TO work the fields.
At present nearly all the petroleum con-
sumed in Asia and Africa particularly In
Japan, China, India and Egypt is fur
nished by the wells'of Baku and Pennsyl-
vania. Persian petroleum, with less costs
for freight, could doubtless compete sue
eessfully in nearby countries.
The rich Persian coal veins are not
properly appreciated. They cover wide
regions and are worked in a very primi-
tive way. There can be no doubt that II
vertical and horizontal shafts were driven
into the veins and the water pumped out
quantities OF good coal could be brought
to the surface. The Persians dig unsup-
ported shafts, not more than 20 or 30
feet deep, and abandon them as soon as
water makes the work difficult Teopemng
the win at another spot. Only the sur
face coal is utilized.
Copper, argentiferous lead, iron ore.
arsenic. sulphur. cobalt, antimOny, boraX,
tin and other minerals are also found in
large quantities in the Persian mountain
districts. All these resources must re
main undeveloped so long as Persia
possesses no transportation facilities.

Campaigning in Samar.

With the exception of small part Of
the island of Samar the ground is en-
tirely covered with dense jungle, which
it Is next TO impossible to penetrate,
says Manila newspaper. The trails
end in a blank wall of jungle, which is
so matted that it takes hours for the
soldiers to cut a trail wide enough for
the passage of single man at time.
What the natives call trails in the noun
tains are simply paths almost entirely
covered with jungle grass, rattan and
bamboo, through which the hardy noun
taineers force their way with ease, while
the more encumbered and less accus.
toned white soldier cannot get through

Some Of the outlying districts of Chi
cago are poorly lighted and the lack of

an obstacle to detection. Inspector John

PRESIDENT HAS NO LATCHKEY
Always Waterman on Guard at
Whitchouse Entrance.

Ordinarily n man would be expected
to utter a vigorous protest if his landlord
did not furnish him with a key to the
front door of his house, but there is one
man in Washington, in fact the leading
citizen of the land, who does not have a
key TO the front door of his domicie
says TuteT in speaking OF recent
changes at the capital. When Mrs.
Roosevelt moved into the white house the
steward turned over to her a large
bunch Of keys, but while there was a key
for each door in the living quarters Of
the big building there was no pass key
for the main entrance The reason for
this is that il Is unnecessary for any oc-
cupant of the white house to carry n
key, for there is always Il Waterman on
guard to admit those who are entitled to
enter. Night and day there is an at
tendant on duty at the front door. If
the President ever decides 20 go on noe
turnal exploring expedition, such as those
he was noted for as police commissioner
or New York. he will have to make use
of the back entrance if he wishes 10 es-
cape the notice Of the Waterman. There
IS only one man who carries key to the
front door Of the executive mansion, and
that is Col Bingham. superintendent Of
public buildings and grounds of Washing
ton lie IS sort of custodian for the
white house, and recently ordered a new
lock for the front door. The new lock
Is complicated sort Of affair and only
an expert would know how to manipulate
a key 50 as to work it. Two complete
revolutions of the key are required TO
open the JoOr, and if another turn is
made it throws the deadlatch on. A relic
of the old days Of the white house was
removed the other day when workman

Know His Time.

"A ragged boy about 10 years DID,
says a correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press, "sat on the fence in front
of an Arkansas cabin. and just as I
came up his mother came to the door
and called Moses! in loud voice.
The boy did not look around and after
a minute she called Abraham" He
made no move, and was asking him
how far 1t was to Greenvillc when she
put out her head and called Luke! He
did not appear to hear and had an
swered me that it was seven miles
when the mother raised her voice still
higher and shouted Mark
"Your mother is calling you,' said,
as he paid no attention.
"'No, not me- he replied.
"'But who, then?'
"My brothers over In the woods.
She's called for Moses, Abraham, Luke
and Mark. She'll call for philetus.
jeremiah, Judas and Abel. and If they
don't come she'll yell out for Ananias.

A GrcwsOme Superstition.

A rumor got about in a village In
Russia. not far from the German from
tier, that the corpse Of a woman who
had recently been buried had turned in
the coffin. Everybody in the village not
only believed the ru!Mor. but ascribed
tie prevailing drought as the cause. A
yilla,;p council was held. and it was de-
cideI that The husband of the woman
should have TIE coffin oponcd and the
body replaced in IL original position.
The husband. however, promptly re-
fused, and nothing could persuade him
to yield to the unanimous wish Of his
fellow villagers, Whercupon the latter
took the matter in their own hands and
went to the churchyard to dig up and
open the coffin. To their great surprise
the body lay in its original position.
Their establishment was not lessened
when the legal authorities appeared on
the scene and opened an inquiry, with
view Of imposing punishment for the
Dissertation of the grave.
The whole neighborhood was DOS.
scssed with the idea that newly buried
persons were to blame for the preva-
lence of the dry weather, for in anoth-
er village, not far off, grave was
opened and the coffin unscrewed to
pour water on the corpse. The be-
nighted peasants of this village were
OF the opinion that this was the best
way to induce the clerk Of the weather
to supply them with much needed rain
