Hiailed by Artists as New Type OF
American Beauty
Of the leading artists and sculptors.
Already her face has been put on
canvas by such painters as Carl Blen-
ner, Carroll Beckwith, Levy and lrv.
ing Wiles Church.
1t is Ryland w. Phillips, the artist
photographer, who claims the honor
of having first discovered this new
beauty. Last October he. arranged
ITO have her come to his studio and
pose for several pictures, which were
later placed on exhibition at the
Photographed society, and created
wide discussion. In speaking of Miss
Nesbit, Mr.. Phillips said:
s'Miss Nesbit has q mobile face, yet
she can change her personality in
looks, gesture and effect quicker than
anyone else I have ever seen. She
can change her whole expression in
stantly from sorrow to gladness,
every feature adding to the total
transformation. Miss Nesbit is a
great beauty. She has splendidly
developed head and face showing
unusual character. About her fore
head there are lines of exceptional
beauty denoting great intellectual
power"
Besides her beauty, Miss Nesbit is
endowed with gift of dramatic tai
ent and emotional capacity sufficient
to warrant her in hoping to attain
success on the stage, for which she
is now preparing herself.

HOW JOHNNY WAS RESCUED.

had failed her, she was blind in ono
eye and deaf in both ears and she
had q furrow half an inch wide the
whole length of her back where Q
bloodthirsty bullet had cut swath.
This old grandma cat lived at the
residence of John Wilczsvarski. All
previous attempts to get rid of Gen-
evieve had failed. She always bobbed
up serenely and sang her ballads ON
the back fence. So Henry Wilczs-
varski, ten years old, was especially
detailed to drown Genevieve in the
river, all laws and city ordinances to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Henry put Genevieve in sack and
tied it with q string. By the time he
reached the foot Of Blanche street
the old cat had got her good eye to
the peephole to reconnoiter. Then
she fought for her life. Henry tried
to throw the sack in the water; but
Genevieve's single claw was deep in
his coat, and moment later Henry.
Genevieve and all went in.
1t was lucky for the boy that the
string around the sack broke. He
couldn't swim stroke, but Gene
We've hadn't forgotten how. With
her one claw imbedded in the piling,
she chung on for life, while Henry
seized her tail and yelled for help.
A policeman from the Rawson
street station pulled Henry and Gem
evieve out and took them home.
Let us hope that this proved les.

he treated all members of the feline
race with more respect and considers

MEMS GARB FOR WOMEN.
Or. Mary walker Insists That Pres.
emit Feminine styles Are Un-
healthful and Immoral.

DR.. Mary Walker for well-nigh IS
years has preached dress reform for
women. Her ideas, as much as her pc
:uliar adoption of male attire, have
made of her national character. She
is now past GO years Of age, but is
more than ever committed to her
ideas.
In recent article published by the
Chicago American she advocates the
adoption by women of male attire for
the following reasons:
Did you ever watch Flora MacFlim-
81 stepping on or off a car? Could
here be anything more grotesque?
As the car approaches she grabs fran
tically bunch of dry goods which has
trailed for blocks behind her in the
mud. Swishing them about her until
she has bound up her knees as if in .
vise, she essays to step into the car.
But the yards of lingerie and dress
hamper her. 1t requires the greatest
effort to mount the step. It is often
times accompanied with the sacrifice
Of her expensive costume.

with Strange Rites.

In Ceylon. the Isle of Flowers, the
Buddhist religion is so amalgamated
with the Hindoo mythology which
Buddha sought to obliterate that the
practical result of his teaching has
been to add one more god-himself-
and innumerable objects TO those al
ready SO numerous. The Singhalese
still place servile reliance in their
devil priests and many barbaric prac-
tees are INDUCED in in the name of
religion.
There is curious blending Of
faiths supposed to be entirely an
tagonistic one to another. Especially
is this brought out ut the greatest
annual festival of Handy, assumed to
be great Buddhist ceremony, where
as it is really all in honor of several
Hindoo gods and goddesses, the
Buddhist's part being simply the NOM
inal loan of relic-in truth, the
loan of an empty shrine. But seeing
that the relic in question claims to
be no less q treasure than that of n
veritable tooth of Guatama Buddha,
and is the object of unbounded rever-
ence to all the many millions (some-
where about 100000, C0O) who worship
him, and relic for the possession of
which bloody wars have been fought,
and incredible sums of money offered,
it is perhaps not to be wondered at
that the priests took good care to
lock it up securely before allowing
its shrine to join in the procession
of relics OF the Hindoo gods.
1t is said that Handy, where the
sacred tooth is preserved, owes it's
very existence as the mountain cap
ttal to the fact of this precious bit
of bone having been taken there for
safety in the sixteenth century. The
Dalada Maligwa, the Temple Of the
Tooth, has been year by year en-
riched by the offerings of the count
less throng Of pilgrims who do .hom-
age to the relic by offering gifts Of
gold and silver ornaments, coins,
Jewels, vestments for the, priests,
fruit and flowers. The latter are at
all times graceful feature of this
worship, for as none care to appear
empty-handed before the altar of
Buddha, there are few in all the
throng of worshipers who have not
some flowers to offer. Among the
legendary acts of devotion we are
told of one who is said to have Of
fered 100000 Of blossoms in one day

BIRDS AS SURGEONS.
zeal Damages the snipe IL With.
out nm Equal.

Some interesting observations,
made by M. Fatio, on the surgical
treatment of wounds by birds, were
recently brought before the Phys
ical society of Geneva. In these it
was established that the snipe had
often been observed in repairing
damages. With it's beak and feath-
ers it makes q very creditable Dress
ing, and even has been known to Sc
cure broken limb by means of q
stout ligature.
On one occasion NJ. Fatio killed a
snipe which had on the chest large
dressing composed of down from
other parts. of the body, and securely
fixed to the body by coagulated blood.
Twice he had snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on to the site of
a fracture of one or other limb.
The most interesting example was
that of snipe both Of whose legs
he had unfortunately broken by n
misdirected shot. He only recovered
it on the following day, when he
found that the poor bird had cone
trived to apply dressings and sort
of splint to both limbs. In carrying
out this operation some feathers had
become entangled around the beak,
and not being able to use its claws to
get rid of them, it was almost dead
from hunger when found.
In a case recorded by M. Maginn, .
snipe which was observed to fly away
with broken leg, was subsequently
found to have forced the fragments
into a parallel position-the upper
fragment reaching to the leg joint
and they were secured there by
means of strong band Of feathers
and moss intermingled.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Take an Air Bath Every Morning ana
Every Night for the BENEFIT Of
Muscles and Lungs.

Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
For no less important than the tub
bath for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to turn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and it takes
but moments time and very little
effort.
Every night the lungs become filled
up with impure air and more or less
poisonous gases. A person may go
all day without Kidding his lungs of
these impurities. Therefore it is as
important to battle the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly. The lungs are not filled by
merely expanding the upper portions
of the chest and raising the shout
ders. The entire front Of the chest
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are number of exercises for
expanding the chest which you can
practice in your room as well as in a
gymnasium. A doorway will serve
as we'll as the most complicated gym
nasium apparatus. A narrow door
way is preferred. Stand directly un-
der the frame and place the hands
fiat on the decreasing, the tips of
the fingers coming at the height of
the shoulders. Walk through the
door without removing the hands un-
til you are arms length away. This
draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for IS minutes every
night and morning. 1t will help to
wake you up when you rise and help
you to get to sleep quickly when you
go to bed.
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about foot back from
the window, placing the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
height of the shoulders. Without
moving the feet, let the body swing
forward as far as possible and return
to a perpendicular positions Prac-
tice this about 20 times night and
morning at intervals of ten seconds.
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lungs Is to stand with the heels
together and take deep breath.
Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
moving the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expelling tho
breath slowly.-N. Y. World.

woman!" Why is it necessary for
her constantly to conjure up thoughts
of sex difference? I think it inn
moral.
To-day we call love a passion. True
love is quality of the mind, not of
the body. Until men love with the
mind woman will not have her right
place in the world. Passion is brutal;
love is divine!
Does the modern form of evening
dress undress call it-appeal to the
passions or the souls Of men? Do the
yards of dainty laces, the variegated
hosiery, the thousand and one what
nots of the modern maiden's gown ap-
peal to the purer or baser idea?
There would be fewer crimes
against women if the suggestive in
woman's wardrobe we're eliminated.
Modern forms of dress accentuate
rather than subdue these evil sug-
gestions. "What is most daring?" is
the question with the modiste, not
What is purest?"
A woman's charms of person and
mind should be her store of wealth.
At present her physical charms are
paraded before the world that all may
see. She does not SO parade her beau
ties of mind.
Sometimes her physical charms are
counterfeit; they are used as snare.
She cannot counterfeit her mental
qualities.
In trousers, waistcoat and frock coat
woman would find protection that she
much needs. She would be freer of
motion and limb, would have better
health. cleaner mental condition and
be mans superior in the things she
should have most of-of purity of body
and mind.
Soner OF later my ideas will bear
full fruit. The wheels of progress
and intellectually move slowly. do
not expect to live long enough to see
my ideas of dress the vogue. shall
have to die; then the seed that have
sown will ripen and grow and bud and
bloom-and I? Well, perchance may
be forgotten. It matters not SO long
as I have been even q means to good
end.

Externally the famous Temple of
