A Paris society woman seeking an
order of court for alimony the other
day gave the Judge some details of
what is needed by society woman IN
the French capital. The list of necess-
tiles included the following: Sixty hats
yearly, 5000; sixty dresses yearly,
$500; twelve corsets, $21O; horses,
yearly, $4,000; dogs, yearly, So. 600. :"
''How many dogs do you keep ?" asked
the Judge, zone, replied the woman.
ssDoes this ugly little insect which you
fondIe there cost So, 900 a year?" ''Yes. y
Madame" said the Judge, getting
white in the face and hot in the collar,
''do you know that there are thousands
of persons in this city who are starry

chance of her life to pose as did one of
her country women many years ago.

REMARkARLE RESEMBLANCE
Two Yachts Very similar In Lines of
Construction.

LONDON, April g. when Sir Thomas
Upton recently said that he was chiefly
concerned about the Herreshof boat
and saw no reason to count seriously on
the chances of the Crowninshield de-
fender. he was merely echoing the opln-
ion. then generally held, OF BRUSH
vachtsmen. 1t seems now, however,
that it is dawning on the experts that
the Lawson boat is worthy of more at
tention than was previously given TO
her. The reason for this change of
opinion lies chiefly in the remarkable
resem blance of Mr.. LAWSON yacht with
the Shamrock II.
Details seem to show that every i'm
portant novelty in the Watson boat has
been duplicated in Mr.. Lawson's. The
lead of the keel is run inside on both
yachts, in order to secure strength and
hghtness with less surface friction.
Both masts consist of single spar, with
the view of escaping weight and the
weakness of a topmast. Imper1shable
aluminium is also used for the decks of
both boats
AS it is impossible for either designer
to have plagarized the other, the fact
they have arrived at identical conclus-
ions in these important matters has sug-
gested to British yachtsmen that the
designers are more nearly on the same
plane than supposed.

THE LAW OF TEMPERANCE.

The question of forcing temperance
by statute has long been a subject of
heated controversy The prohibition
lists are called cranks and fanatics,
while all sorts of harsh names are ap-
piled to those who hold that the law
should regulate but not prohibit the
sale of intoxicants In the larger cities
recent attempts at prohibition have
been few and Intellectual, and this will
doubtless continue to be so, at least Tor
years to come. But there is temper
snce force which is. confined to no
section. rural or urban. 1t is the law
of business, of common sense ana
safety In the banks, stores, counting
bouses. newspaper offices, on the rail
roads-everywhere and in every bust
ness where cool judgment, clear heads,
steady hands and orderly habits are
necessary drunkard is shut out
and the drinking man is less in favor.
It is not matter of sentiment. 1t is
business, good sense. It is rule that
is growing stricter and more general
every day. There Is lesson in this
fact which the young man will do well
to heed. There is neither honor nor
profit in the drink habit, and the plea
sure it may be supposed to afford Is
both false and fieeting The temper
ance force which the exacting law of
modern business exerts cannot be
evaded or ignored. Young men who do
not appreciate this fact, and who seek
employment or who hope to succeed in
the business or professional world, will
some day learn it to their cost 1t is
the law memorable.

For an ordinary bruise such as re-
suits from an i'll directed hammer or
from a door shutting on ones finger
use a mild aStringent of some sort,
such as witch hazel or vinegar Keep
the bruise constantly wet until the
pain ceases, using a bandage of old
muslin for wrapping. If the pain is
very intense, laudanum may be added.
After the pain has ceased and only dis
coloration and swelling remain to tell
the tale it is a good plan to apply a
stimulating liniment This induces an
extra flow of fresh blood to the spot.
In the case of a severe bruise the sup
ply of blood to the injured part must
be lessened by eleyating it above the
heart and applying cold water or even
ice.
OF course when the bruise, or contu-
sion rather, is of such moment house
remedies should be INDUCED in only
while waiting for doctor, a truth that
necessarily applies to all the various
emergencies that arise. In cases of Sc
we're burns physicians are often ham
pered by the home remedies that cover
the burns and hide the real extent of
the injury.

Massage For Apop1exx.

The medical profession recognizes to-
day as it has never done before the re-
markable aid of massage. 1t has done
marvellous things for paralysis, even
for apoplexy, at which doctors once
looked on helplessly. Apoplexy is caus-
ed by a clot of blood on the brain, and
if that clot can be broken up, if an
emptying can be effected Of clogged
veins, recovery is in sight. Constant
massage of the forehead and skull will
do it Chis has been proved over and
over again, while paralyzed limbs, by
patient, constant kneading, can have
new life rubbed into them. = Good

EASTER.

Throughout the Christian world this
will be day of rejoicing. With the
passing years and the growth of the
christian religion the observance OF
Easter becomes more general and more
impressive.
Thousands of churches will to-day
be glorious with emblems of the resur-
rection. After the sombre reflection of
Lent comes q burst of triumphal joy.
While nature is thrilling with new life
The assurance of life eternal is brought
to the hearts of millions as they con-
template the risen Christ.
The word Easter is from the German
'sostem," or the old Saxon ''oster"
which means rising. The time of ceIe-
brating this festival was subject which
provoked heated discussions IN the
early Christian church. The question
was fully considered and finally settled
at the Council of Vice 325 A. D. by
adopting the rule that Easter shall be
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the twenty -frst of March.
Usually it is the Sunday after the first
full moon after the sun crosses the ine.-

But Old Cassius NJ. Clay Is Still Hold

RICHMOND. KY, April g. -Hostilities
at White Hall between General Cassius
NJ Clay and the officers whom he re-
sisted yesterday have ceased. The par.
ties who caused the writ of possession to
be issued against the general have with

Deputy Sheriff Coyler, who had mar

some of the shot he last fred struck

reports from the barricadcd White Hall,
as there is danger awaiting any one who
may at this time go to make inquiries.

guards, handcuffed him and took his
gun from him. The gun is now in pos.
session of the sheriff.

Declares That lie Is Not In Race For

TRUE HOSPITALITY.

True hospitality always has in it
something of the element of personal
consideration, and that is why its spirit
is SO seldom found where entertaining
is a wholesale business enterprise and
the invitations are engraved or written
by secretary. To hear certain per-
sons talk of entertaining, and to see
the trouble and expense they take to
get up elaborate dinners and to have
something ''just so" for a guest, you
would imagine that the only reason the
guest was invited was to fill his stom-
ach. He must be given something out
of the ordinary or he is not properly
entertained. But this is as far as pos
sible from what the sensible guest
wants. AS Robert Burdette once said,
ST do not go my friends house for the
meal he Is to give me- / can get a
very good dinner at hotel for so cents
or half dollar I go to my friends to
see him and to have an hour in his
company; go for certain quality of
welcome that comes from his personal
lty, not from his food.

posed new line of steamers between
Berebaven aud America, the protect is
regarded in that country as OF the utmost
Importance In addition TO giving
employment 10 an army Of men on the
actual labor works are Berehayen, the
Irish people say it lie quite within the
bounds Of probability that the complec'
tion Of these works will lead to impor-
tant railway developments. Certainly
a harbor at Berehaven would be OF no
use to the Atlantic liners without an
express railway service to Dublin or
some other port on the east coast OF
Ireland from where the passengers could
make their way rapidly to londoh. At
present the whole scheme appears to be
very much in the air.

Evangelist I. G. Martin is stirring mp

of the Church." He said in part--"That
the church is in great need OF something
is apparent TO any thoughtful persoD.
One denomination in New England had
three thousand churches that did not re.
port single convert in a year. We have
pastors in this country, who will preach
twice each Sunday for year and hold
fity.two prayer meetings without a
single convert. John Wesley says that
IL some one is not converted or made
mad at every service you may know you
are not called to preach. SO many
preach as tho, they did not mean what
they say. They go at like this; now ex-
cept you repent, lac it we're" and be-
come converted, Sin a way" you will all

ton dwindling down to mere handful,
he begins to wonder what the church
needs in order to hold the people, and
finally decides that il is another canary
in the choir or pipe organ or a new
carpet or a modern church ;and as a rule
the higher the church steeple goes the
lower the spirituality goes, money not
being the need OF the church. Too many
churches are controlled by a lot of "old
skinhints" because they give a few dol-
lars to the church. May God open the
blind eyes of the leaders to see that the
need of the church is not financial OF

power OF the Holy Ghost. Mr.. Martin
