The Language Of
Colors Fully
Told.

II you were interested in/the para
graphs concerning the shades best
adapted to women with the different
colorings you may like to go step
further and look into color harmonies.
Though few of us are so refined as
to find the same entertainment in a
color concert" as in the ordinary sort
in which full band figures yet every
color has it's harmony, which is called
it's contrast, as well as otner harmon
izing colors.
Two dissimilar colors which associ-
ate agreeably, as blue and orange, or
lilac and cherry, or even very light
and very dark blue, form a harmony
of contrast.
Two colors Of similar disposition
when grouped, such as orange and
scarlet, crimson and crimson brown, or
orange and orange brown, form a
harmony of analogy.
AS rule, harmonies of contrast are
most effective, being brilliant and de-
cisive, while harmonies OF analogy are
quiet.
These two simple rules will decide
you: 1. When a color is selected that
is favorable to the complexion it is
best to associate with it tints which
will harmonic by analogy, since
contrast would dimish the favorable
effect. 2. When color is employed
which is injurious to the complexion,
contrasting colors must be associated
with it, as they will neutralize the OBJ
jectionable influence.
Take green that suits blonde;
shades bit lighter and darker Of the
same green will enhance the effect;
that's the first rule. Rule No. may
be proved by the violet which is un-
becoming to a brunette, but which be-
be added.
Colors which harmonic by analogy
reduce each others brilliancy.
1t is bad to blend different hues Of
one color, as yellowgreen and blue
green, orange brown and purple
brown; see that they belong to the
same scale.
A thing to be worn both day and ev-
ening. is harder yet to choose, since
many harmonies hold good In one light
but fail in another. Thus, purple and
orange harmonic by day, but are dis
agreeable by gas light, while white
and yellow are beautiful at night, but
unsatisfactory in daylight
Dark browns. blues, puppies and
green's lose their color by artificial
light, while orange, scarlet, crimson,
light brown and green gain.

DON'T UJNDERVALUE THEIR OWN
SERVICES.

An actress has the privilege of
asking what she. pleases for her ser
vices. yet when a lady of fashion de-
sires stage talent to help entertain her
friends professional rates jump up
enormously. A woman in the New
York 400 whose name is as well
known as that of Mrs. Astor thought
she would like to have May Irwin sing
three coon songs at an entertain
ment recently. Miss Irwin asked $1,000,
or 1898 SO for each selection. Fay Tenn
pIeton was approached. but she could
not think of appearing at all for less
than $500. Neither was engaged.

Gradually he became famous as a fash

Later he had these cases made to order

The Poor I'm Porte Rico.

Though there is much poverty in
this beautiful island, there is also
much happiness. The poorest classes
are happy from morning till night.
They use the bark, branches and limbs
of the trees for the construction of
their houses. Large gourds furnish
them with buckets, and smaller ones
with various vessels. Fruit and vege-
tables are plentiful all the year round.
Two crops of corn can be harvested.
They have oranges. bananas, plantains
and mangoes in abundance. There is
no cold winter and no need for extra
clothing or fuel-Porto Rico Letter

shares that night and calling in the great

ing the corner in the stock. The theory
that Mr. eene's campaign had been d.
rected towards a squeeze of the shorts
was somewhat shaken by this leniency
towards his victims. 1t was signifcaEe
also that, although the parties to the
contest fer control showed their willing
ness to relieve the shorts by RENTING
the requirements to deliver stock, they
failed to come to any mutual agreement
TO lend the stock, such as was proposed
by one party last night. The surmis
seems warranted from this unwillingness
Of either party to let any Of their stock
get out CT their hands even to relieve the
shorts that there was continued doubt
in the minds of both as to where the
actual contro! of the property lies. Rep
resentatives of both parties made en-
phatic claims today, the one that they
had maintained the control and the 9th
er that they had secured it.
The hope of relief from the conditions
prevailing On the Stock Exchange today
conferred in the possibility of settle

tending forces sharing the benefits of the

trict Rumors were very persistent that
many prominent houses had been conf
promised seriously by the violent stump

were emphatically denied on the direct

equal in value to the first cutting. This
furnishes splendid opportunity for in
yestment of capital, by buying these tim
Der lands, after the timber has been cut,
and holding them for future cuttings.
This has been recognized and corporations
are beginning to buy these lands. When
the timber interest was first begun to be
developed here, mill owners bought prin-
cipally floating logs with which to run
their mills, rarely ever purchased stand
ing timbers for a given period of time:
later on, they bought principally standing
timber for given priod of time in which
to cut it from the land; now, they are
beginning to prudently buy the timber
lands in fee; and, in my opinion, it will
be only a question of time when all of the
available timber lands in this section
in appreciable qantities, will be owned by
timber corporations. Then, whether the
logs will be manufactured in or out of
the State remains to be seen. If most of
these available timber lands are bought
up by timber corporations who will ship
the logs out of the State to be manufac-
tured then, the State and its citizens

North Carolina tobacco.

President of the United States Tobacco
Company of Richmond, Va, manufacture
ers of plug tobacco.
Mr.. Campbell is one of four independent
| companies, and he complained or radical
determinations against his compan-. es-
pecially in New England, because of the
exactions of the Continental Company
which manufactures q large percentage
of the chewing tobacco made in the coun-
try He said that the representatives of
that company had made proposition Ia
jobbers to give them a reduction of three
per cent in addition to the usual job
bers reduction of two per cents a pound
and had later increased the percentage
reduction to 51a per cent, at the same
time reducing the two cents q pound re-
duction to one cent. These advantages
were, he said, given on the explicit I'M
derstanding that the jobbers should re-
fuse to sell the brands OF the independent
manufacturers. The result had, Sir.
Campbell said, been very injurious to his
business.
Mr. Campbell said that the Continental
Companys proposition applied to the
United States Company, the Wetmore
Company of st. Louis, Finer Brothers OF
Louisville and the Manufacturing Tobac-
co Company Of Louisville. The last reduc-
ton to the iobbers and the fact that the
Continental Company had refused to do
business with those handling the indie
pendent companies goods had SO frighten-
ed many of them that they had refused
to continue business with outside com
selves told him of this exaction on the
part of the Continental Company, assur-
ing him at the same time of their salts
faction with the United States Company
goods. Mr.. Campbell declared there is a
reign of terror in the tobacco business in
New England on account of the COntinen-
tai Companys manner of doing business.
Mr.. Campbell declared that the effect
Of the organization of the American and
Continental Companies had been to re-
duce the price of raw material to the in
Jury of the farmer and without benefit
ting the consumer. He asserted that TIE
manufacturers and dealers would secure
the entire benefit to be derived from the
reduction of the tobacco tax, which is
to take place on July LIST. Mr. Campbell
said he had not proceeded under the anti
trust law, because he neither had the
time nor the means for such contest.
1T would be like a mosquito fighting an
elephant" he said.
James p. Duke, president CT both the
Continental Tobacco Company and the
American Tobacco Company explained in
detail the methods of those two organi-
cations He denied that any threats had
been made to drive out the brands of
other manufacturers. "All brands stand
upon their own bottoms" he said. Il
do not, of course, know what cur agents
may have done in making terms with
dealers, but if they have made any such
exactions as represented it has been
made without our consent, and | don't be-
Iieve they have done so. | don't know of
