sterdam event our first and four sec
ond prizes are offered. In the Brook
Ign trophy event four first and four
second prizes are offered. The Long
Island Club offers a prize for the high
est trick score made in the morning
and evening games by any player who
has played in the three morning games
or in the three evening games. A prize
was also offered for the largest plus
score made>in any one event. This is
indeed a goodly array, and any player
who takes part in two events a day
ought to carry something home with

On whist, died at his home in England

How many of the women players who
contemplate entering the contests OF
the Congress realize the Importance of
keeping themselves in good physical
condition beforehand? Among the
nien's fours it is an ordinary matter
for the members of a team to be on
a diet, refusing rich or indigestible
food for some days before going into
such events. Keeping the head clear
means playing winning whist, all 9TH
er things being equal. No. mind can
act we'll and accurately if the body is
out of order. Fresh air exercise and
light diet are the chief factors towards
this end. The following is taken from
the American Whist Player: Some
idea of the tremendous strain upon the
Congress players can be had from the
statement made by one of the players
for the Hamilton trophy who got
weighed just prior to the first match,
kept himself in the pink of condition
physically during the week, and when
weighed at the end of the tournament
found he had lost just five pounds.
Another player in the open events,
presumably not playing very hard, re-
ports that he lost three pounds during
the week

SHAPELY FINGER NAILS.
Mnnicuring Is n simple Art, Rcquir-
ing Very Little Talent Hut
Lots of Patience.

Where is the woman who does not
like to have pretty nails and nicely
! kept hands? But how many women
know how to care for their hands in
the proper way? Not one out of ten
knows how to manicure the nails,
and in consequence we have ragged
selvages, uneven nails and little
white spots at the base of the nails.
1t takes a great deal of patience for
these to grow out as they must, de-
clares an authority.
To scrape the nails, as some do,
thinking to remove the rough APP
pearance the enamel sometimes has,
is almost fatal. The enamel once re-
moved takes long time to grow on
again-indeed it must grow out with
the nail, and the new nail is never
as nice as before the scraping.
The instruments needed to proper
ly manicure the nails are not many
and are inexpensive. Get n good
buffer, nail file and clippers, orange
stick and cuticle knife. This is all
that is really necessary for the prop
er cars. of the hands.

place the tips of the fingers in a
bowl of water, in which few drops
of lemon juice has been squeezed
Let them remain there n few minutes
and then wipe.
Take one of the pieces of Orange
stick and carefully push the selvage
back all around the nail. Be careful
not to bear on the nail heavily, for
this will cause little white spots to
appear.
When you have pushed the selvage
back if there happens to be a hang
nail or a little ragged piece clip it
with the cuticle knife very carefully;
then put that instrument, with which
so much harm is done to the nails,
out of sight and out of mind.
Many persons keep the selvage en-
tirely cut around the nails. This
gives them raw, sore look and in
creases the tendency of the flesh to
grow up around the nails. The sell
wage should never be cut unless little
ragged pieces appear.
Clean the nails with the orange
stick and then clip them if necessary.
| File the nails to remove any little
rough corners that may have been
left by the clipping. Touch with
roslne dust, with nail powder and
use the buffer lightly. Remember
that very highly-polished nail is
not considered good taste.-Detroit

occasion, tables were spread in the
Sunday school room where all for the
second time that day enjoyed a
Thanksgiving feast. After an hour of
social discourse and song, the treas
urer arose and said:
"a few days since, our pastor had
received but mere pittance for many
months of faithful labor. While he
had wrought earnestly for the church
and its societies, so that, for the first
time in years, all were in n prosper

his own needs. No. mol Brother Nor

Then one society and another, by
some strange coincidence, conceived
the thought of giving the pastor a
pleasant Thanksgiving surprise. 1t is
needless to say we have surprised

all, i find that in the few days of un-
conscious cooperation, we have in
creased the amount paid on salary to
just $500. This shows what we can
do if we all work together. l move
you, as congregation, that we in
crease our pastors salary from 5000
to $500 year"
1t was carried with a rush, even
Brother Cook asserting. Pastor Nor
wood arose, and, with tears of joy
trickling down his cheeks, thanked
them simply. Some said they sung
the doXology as never before; at least
there were two voices that rang out
with new inspiration of faith.
When they were once more at
home, and the children in bed, Wesley
Norwood again took his wife into his
arms and opening his Bible at a place
much marked and worn, they read to-

WON IN THE CLOUDS.
Pretty Romance of a Girl Astrono-
mer in Paris, France.
Venerable Admirer Proposed to Her
While Both Were Viewing
Venus from n Balloon and
Wns Made Happy.

Miss Dorothee Klumpke, San
Francisco girl and the greatest wom-
an astronomer in the world, is now
the central figure in most remark
able love romance, writes Paris
correspondent. She was wooed and
won while in the clouds. While she
was up in the balloon making photo
graphs of the stars her scientific
colleague seized the occasion to pro-
pose and was accepted.
The happy man is DR.. Isaac Rob-
erts, famous English astronomer,
who is ~ years of age. He is the
head of the observatory at Crow
borough, in Sussex county, England.
He writes the letters Sc. D., +. X.
S., +. II. a. s., F. G. S. after his name.
Miss Klumpke and DR.. Roberts first
met at the astroph geographic con-
gress in 1887. He was deeply i'm
pressed by the excellence of her
photographs of the heavens. He
himself was engaged in this kind of
work in England and he was much
impressed by the superiority of his
feminine rival in France. He began
an exchange of photographs with her
photographs of the heavens, of
course.
He learned to admire her, not only
as an astronomer, but as woman
Gradually courtship began in the
picturesque Paris observatory, where
Miss Klumplle holds very impor-
tant position. He pursued it when
ever the interests of science permit
ted, Science he found was all too
eXacting. There was hardly mo-
ment when the fair young astron-
omer was not engrossingly absorbed
by her duties. Miss Klumpke's spe-
cial duties consist in observing and
recording the stars in the Paris belt

tivate a very pretty hanging basket.
Let them ask the greengrocer for
carrot from which the top foliage
has not been cut away. Cut away
the carrot, leaving only about a
couple of inches at the end where it
joins the fern. Scoop out the inside
of this short piece of carrot and
pour a little water into it. Thes
hang up this little bowl, still leaving
the foliage upon it. At first the fern
will appear to be growing upside
down, but after time it will grow
upward in the right direction.
Fill the hollow part with water
from time to time as the water
dries up, and occasionally place the
carrot end in a different position,
for the side nearest the window will
grow thicker and quicker than that
which has less light.

they proceeded to do so quietly that no
one surmised a general canvass was
being made. Before Sunday the entire
amount was secured.
Friday, after school, the Junior
leaguers met and decided that mas
much as the grown-up folks would not
help in the matter, they would do what
they could; so they voted to pay over
every bit there was in the treasury.
Upon counting, $23.25 was found to be
the correct amount.

she made some figures in the treas
urer's book, sit will make just even $75

A Misuse of the Day.

1t is said that a certain minister was
in the habit of selecting the texts of
his Thanksgiving day discourses from
the Book of Lamentations. The ele-
gies of the weeping prophet have their
place in the sacred volume. There is
time for everything, and there are
occasions in which the mournful dirge
and the fearful lament are fitting;
but the appropriate thing for Thanks
giving day is the glad carol and the
psalm of praise. There are other days
in the calendar on which to bewail evils
and to strike at social and political
wrongs. Let this one day at least be
set apart for thanksgiying.-Baptis'

photographers of stars. In her pur-
suit of this work she has been accus-
toned to go up in a balloon. She
is an absolutely fearless aeronaut.
DR.. Roberts accompanied her in sew
eral of these balloon ascents as a
humble admirer and acquirer of
knowledge. 1t was on one of these
ascents that he at last found time to
propose.
Partisan friends and admirers of
Miss Klumpke thus described the
scene: 1t was a gorgeous night with
myriad of stars shining clearly in
the heavens. Below were the twink
ling lights of Paris family indicating
the outlines of houses and buildings.
The balloon was sailing through the
pure and silent upper air. The
charming astronomer, her evenings
work done, fingered with her hand on
the telescope to mediate and enjoy
the beauty of the scene.
1t was the psychological moment.
She was gently aroused from her rev.
erie by the pleading of her learned
companion. She remembered his
worth and his devotion. He won his
cause. Hereafter the two astrono-
mers will share their study of the
stars.
1t is significant fact that Venus
was the star which Miss Klumpke
was chiefly observing when this ro-
nance occurred. The superstitious
will Immediately draw their conclu-
sions from that The moon was also
photographed, but whether that had
any influence one would hardly ven
ture TO say.
In spite of her profound scientific
attainments Miss Klumpke is of pleas
ing appearance and dresses quite
tastefully. She won her place in the
Paris astronomical observation over
the heads of the so Frenchmen who
were competing, and she now ha.
charge of the department which com
putes the measurements of the stars
in the Paris belt, with several Young
Frenchwomen under her direetion.
She has special bureau of her own
In the great observatory garden, and
it is covered with ivy and surrounded
by flowers. Here Mrs. Klumple
works eagerly from nine in the morn
ing until five in the afternoon, and
at night she stays up in the round
tower with her telescope turned
searchingly upon the stars or goes up
in balloon to study them better.
She delights in it, and the heavens
to her are as intimate as the little
garden of her bureau, where the
snails crawl over the paths and the
French roses bloom.

Most Powerful snun known.

On the Amazon river several Indian
tribes use snuff, called pareca, which
is made of the seeds of species of
plant. When bout of snuff-taking is
determined on the people become
highly intoxicated and then use the
snuff. The effect of pareca is so vio-
lent that the taker drops as if shot
and lies insensible for some time;
those more accustomed to it are high
ly excited, dancing and singing as if
mad. The effect soon subsidies.
Other tribes use it to repel ague dur

Who Fixed Thanksgiving Day.

According to the Boston Transcript,
it was a woman who was the means of
having a definite day in the year set
apart for the national observance of
Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sarah Josepha
Hale, a Boston woman, and editor of
the first woman's magazine published
in this country, worked for 20 years
to accomplish this end. Time did not
daunt her courage, but rather in
creased her insistence. She wrote to
governors of states and to presidents
of the United States. At last Presi-
dent Lincoln adopted her suggestion
in 1864, when there was reason to re-
joice over the success of the north in
restoring the union.

band and Children and Fond
of Simple Life.

Though Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
from early childhood, has never been
publicly before the world, hers is one
of those rare personalities which are
bound to assert themselves under any
and all circumstances.
And those friends who have known
her from childhood are waiting to see
how well every duty will be fulfilled,
for they know her perfectly balanced
character, her reserve force and her
calm, cool Judgment of people and
things.
There is no gossip or scandal al
lowed in the Roosevelt household,
and there is no guest who does not
feel irresistibly compelled to stand up
for what is best and right, so high is

the keynote that is sounded. This is
not saying there is not plenty of life
and jollity, for merriment reigns SUI
preme with young and old, and never
has it been allowed that the cares
of Office or the anXieties of politics
should intrude upon the fun and mer-
riment that go on increasingly.
The Roosevelt household has al
ways been democratic in its simplic-
ity. There have never been any at
tempts made at elaborate entertain
ing. There have been no gorgeous
banquets to be chronicled among So
cial events, and when the news coll
umns gave the information that Mr..
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt enter
tanned at dinner, there have never
been any wonderful table decorations
to chronicle.
All about the management of the
household has been charmingly sim
pie. \ true spirit of hospitality well
coined every guest, who was made to
feel that his or her presence was to
be desired. Wine was always served,
but neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor his
wife cared for it.
The menu was always simple and
never comprised many courses, for
Mr.. Roosevelt disliked a long dinner.
Everything was well served, but on
most simple lines. This, however,
with an appearance of absolute COM
fort erywhere-comfort, not show.
being apparently the watchword.
Mrs. Roosevelt, says the Kansas
City Star, is not a very great talker,
but is n brilliant conversationalist-
an apparent Inconsistency explain
able by her being remarkably good
listener, and possessing that rare
charm of drawing out the very best
in anyone she talks to. She has a
keen sense of humor.
Not beauty, Mrs. Roosevelt is
nevertheless an unusually pretty
woman, rather above middle height,
with slight, girlish figure. She is
brunette in coloring, with brown
eyes and hair, but fair skin.
She rarely, if ever, wears a large
hat, and is generally seen in small
bonnet, and she does not change the
style of her hat as the fashions
change. Her brown hair curls in soft
ringlets around her face, but is
brushed smoothly back from her
temples and arranged in soft coil
at the back of her head.
She wears it in the same style,
whether for day or evening, but with
evening dress she wears an aigrette,
which adds height and emphasizes the
long line of her shoulders, one of her
chief beauties. She is woman who
looks much better in evening dress
than in street dress, and her evening
gowns are always rather elaborate.
