A POOR BREAKFAST.
Very Few People Eat a Good Brca
fast

Very Few People Eat Good BrcaE-
fast.
"All | want for breakfast Is Il rCll
and cup of coffee
This remark is heard nos ohly in
hotels. restaurants and lunch rooms
but it is the usual breakfast orde' in
the home circle as we'll. After twelve
hours fast it would seem that the first
meal of the day should be a hearty
substantial one, and if we all lived IA
tural, unartifcial lives it would be SO
but none of us do, hence breakfast is
a mere pretence.
Says latter Gay philosopher: Dur
ing many years of active business life
/ never remember having eaten a good
substantial breakfast but supposed it
was of no Importance until / began TO
lose appetite for lunch and dinner.
My physician told me l was a victim
of nervous dyspepsia and must take
rest and recreation as no medicine
would reach the trouble, but this adj
vice l could not follow as my business
affairs would not permit it. and to get
relief ! resorted to medicines and pre-
scriptions and it was purely accidental
that ! hit upon one remedy which did
the business. While in a drug store one
evening I noticed q number of people
buying Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a
widely advertised preparation for
stomach troubles, and the force of eX-
ample was too much for me and
bought fifty cent package.
took tablet or two after each
meal, and in a week my appetite pick
ed up, l began to feel my old ambition
for. work returning and could eat a
good breakfast because ] wanted it, and
from that time to this, I take Staurt' S
Dyspepsia Tablets as regularly as
take my meals. not because / now have
any trouble with my stomach, but be-
cause I don't want TO have.
A fifty-cent bottle of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will last me a month and
keen my digestion in good order, and
| know of no better investment bust
ness man can make.

WONDERFUL HELEN KELLER.

Helen Keller's teachers object to the use of the words "marveP' or prodigy with their disagreeable sug- gestion of unnaturalness in connection with her. She is not even genius, they maintain, but simply a bright and lovely girl, unmarried by self consciousness or any taint of evil"
 Yet popular opinion insists other wise. Helen's story is well known Though blind and deaf she has, by use of the raised Braille type and the finer language advanced to as high a rank of scholarship as is possible for a girl of her age, which many of those in full possession of their facul- ties were unable to pass the Radcliffe college examination identical With that of Harvard)
 A professor in one of the leading universities of the country once dri- ly remarked that :. his experience as an educator had taught him the pro foundest respect for the capacity Of the human mind to resist the. intro duction of knowledge" People know this is so, and this young girls en- thusiasm for books and studies under so great a handicap of affiiction ap- peals to them. u
 And now comes report from Rad cliffe, the woman's annex to Harvard, which she entered exactly two years ago, that in addition to her other gifts, ''there is probably hidden with in her an author of the first rank Helen's command of language has al- ways astounded all who have been able to communicate with her by the silent speech. Probably 1t is because she hears no slang. no slipshod ex- pressions of the hurried world, con- versing only with cultivated men and women and reading only the best lit erature. It was through books that she first touched with life and human ity. No candidate in either Harvard or Radcliffe was ever graded higher in English than she. 1t would not be strange, therefore, if in few years more should see her name added to the increasing list of young women authors. Who knows that she may not write the next historical novel?
 Helen's own story of how the light of the outside world first flashed on her is interesting. Five letters made her living being She had been ta- ken by her teacher to the pumphouse to feel the cool, refreshing stream as it spouted forth, and while she was enjoying the sensation, the word sswa- ter" was spelled in her hand in the finger language they had been trying to teach her. s'That word. 7 says Helen, "started my soul. It revealed to me the idea that everything had a name. Until that day my mind had been like darkened chamber. '-Phil- adelphia Press.

Ar Wu, though Celestial by birth, is in many respects an American. During the trying time in China, when foreigners were being massa- cred and his nation was in an odious position before the powers, he con- ducted himself with such rare good judgment and conspicuous courage that he won general respect. He has accomplished a great deal during his ministry here. He has educated the American people in regard to the na- ton he represents and. substituted facts for distorted conceptions of the characteristics of the Chinese. AL though he has, with the frankness of a Ii Hung Chang, called attention to the inconsistencies of American life, he has done it with an apparent in geniousness born of honest intention and so good naturedly that no liberal minded person could take offence.

POSING FOR PORTRAITS.


 Care must also be taken ifl the se- lection of the proper pose for the in- dividual. A laughing girl looks ab- surd drawn primly up in the attitude of woman engaged ill the warfare of society; whereas woman of dig nified mien would look equally ridicu- lous portrayed in an attitude exhibit ing the energy of youthfor instance. running gayly through a garden of roses. Preposterous as this seems, it is merely a sample of the desires of many persons who contend with the artist about the proper pose and back grounds of their contemplated DOT traits. The individual whom melan- choly claims as her own should be pos ed appropriately, and the sentiment carried out through all the details of the picture. Harmony in motif, and action should always be maintained.
 The question of lighting is of course, most important subject. Again it must be remembered that the underly- ing idea or thought of the composition must be brought out clearly. and everything else must be kept subser- vient to this. The strong light should fall on the reason for the picture Everything else on the canvas leads up to this point. John W. Alexander, in Harper's Bazar.

ONE ON THE MOON.

The yagaries of the moon have been so often described in verse and love story that it seems shame to make that poor over-worked bright regent of the heavens stand for an ordinary prosaic tale. But the Detroiter who went hunting in the north woods thought it pretty joke even though it was at the expense of the long suffer ing moon.
 The party was in the hands of one of those rare old guides who make a living finding and losing people and steering hunters out of the way of game. They had got mixed up in the tall timber one night and were vainly trying to find their way out of the clearing. The guide was as much at sea as anybody.
 Where is the moon?v said one of the party. Where does 1t rise in this locality?"
 'Well, yet can't tell anythin' bout it," drawled the guide; "half the time it doesn't come up at all''-Detroit Free Press.

ENGLISH WOMEN.
Thinner. More Angular and Less Ro- bust Than Tsho;r Aoarioan fsarS;,,s

Thinner. More Angular and Less Ro-
 bust Than Their American Cousins.
 A thing one notices in London about the women is that they seem imper- yious to changes of temperature. It was exceedingly cold when we arrived damp, raw and chilly. We Amer jeans put on our woolen dresses and consulted as to the wisdom of taking Jackets when we went abroad. The sun was hidden. there were occasional sprinkles of rain, cold airs caught you spitefully at street corners. It was wretched weather. Yet the Eng fish Women-thin, fragile and delicate wore their muslin dresses with calm and unmoyed fortitude A favorite fashion of theirs is transparent yoke or lace with the bare neck visible through it. Tn this semi-clad state they talk or drive aboutApparently perfect ly comfortable. While the perishipg American is seriously considering the wisdom of going to the bottom of her trunk for her fur jacket.
 It may be this weakening exposure to the inclemency of damp and trying climate which makes the English woman So delicate in appearance. One seldom sees those buxom, rosy beau ties III London that we have always supposed were the British type. Au contralre, the type is tall, smaII-boned anu exceedingly thin. The English woman of fashion that one sees in the London of to-day has that kind of fig. ure that the nOvelists call "willowy', -ziong Tn all the lines, very slightly
 rounded, With the smallest of waists. no hlps at all and an inclination to sIoop Ill the shoulders. With this they wear very clinglng dresses, long trains, and, in the evening, very dec- ollete bodices. The general effect is Of something incredibly slim, serpen- tine and delicate The latter supges- ton comes not only from the peculiar " slender and undeveloped figures. but from the universal tendency to the droop in the shoulders that I have just mentioned. One sees very few women who stand upright. All have an air of fragility, ennui and languor that suggests certain paintings of Burne-Jones and Rossetti
 If, however, one sees few fine fig- ures, one sees many handsome faces among these ethereal ladies. Beauty like any other good thing ill, England. seems to belong to the dominating, aristoeratic class One seldom sees q good looking woman in the middle or lower class world. But the flowers of aristocracy are often lowered with a fine and patrician beauty all their own. The type is unmistakable and peculiarly English! The face is oval, small and sometimes thin. the feat ures are acut with thecold, precise regularity of a cameo, the nose ana chin generally prominent. There are calm, clear eyes under arched brows, which in turn are nearly hidden by the curled and crimped fringe that is still worn in this country. It is type that speaks of high breeding, ab- sence of vivacity and physical deli cacy. Compared to it our American women are Amazonian in their TO- business, weight and general sugges- ton of vftality.-San Francisco Argo- naut.

sneaking of the attempted assassina-

Speaking of the attempted assassina- tion of President McKinley Wash ington writer says: 'The matter mad been carefully arranged and planned fty a society of anarchists, and the man selected to do the deed calmly did as he was told. The question is, how such things can be. prevented in the future. It is futile to expect to pre- vent them by guarding all public men. The net work of police in Russia, does not protect the czar. There is no way of shutting out immigrants which will absolutely nulIify the danger. The suggestion of a morning paper the day after the event that restriction of inn migration is the lesson which it teach es became absurd when 1t was found that the assassin was born in this country. The remedy seems to be strict police supervision of such dan gerous societies. They are against the law. as much as a burglars association or a murder club would be; in fact, they are murder clubs. They should be compelled either to hold their meet ing in public, with the understanding that incendiary speeches will not he tolerated, or they should be suppressed, imprisoned and deported. It will not do to tolerate such epidemics, any more than to let smallpox remain un- quarantined.

It is several weeks ago since the Democrat first advocated the beantify- ing of the spot at the junction of Grand and Bank streets.s ' We. are pleased to see that the city Gathers, under the able leadership of Alderman Blakeslee, are becoming interested. When the watering tank changes were being made at the green the Democrat suggested putting the old tank on Grand street. If the city fathers had done so then they would have saved the expense of putting it in its present position. Why not move the Welton fountain to the Grand street site? There would then be more room at the end of the green, a spot where it is very much needed.
