gun works alone; each loaded tongue has a
hundred acnompllces. Fhe havoc OF the
gun is visible at once. The full evil OF the
tongue lives through all the years; even
the eve of Omniscience might grow tired
in tracing it to is ti1ality.
The crimes of the tongue are words OF
unkindness, of anger. of malice, OF envy,
of bitterness, OF harsh criticism, gossip,
lying and scandal. Theft and murder are
sWf crimes, yet 10 any single year tue
aggregate sorrow, pain and suffering they
cause in a nation is microscopic Wlen

the crimes OF the tongue. Place in one oil
the scale pans OF justice, the evils resulting
from the acts Of criminals, and In the other
the grief and tears and suffering resulting
from the Grim Is OF responsibility, and you
will start back in amaZement as you see
the scale you thought the heavier shoot
high in the air.
At the hands OF thief or murderer, few
Of us suffer, even indirectly. But from the
cruel and vicious tongue OF enemy, who Is

the loathso ms uendoes, slurs, hali-Iies,
by which jealous mediocrlty seeks to ruin

THE SMART WOMAN,
Her Secret Lies Not In Clothes, bal
In Carriage. I

Good carriage is essential to style.
No matter what a woman wears, If she
does not carry herself alertly and
gracefully her appearance is slipshod,
but let her learn to stand, walk and
breathe properly, and the simplest COS
tune has an air of richness and smart
ness. There is no skirt made that will
appear stylish on the woman who
stands with the abdomen prOtruding.
and the smartest shirt waists become
mOckery over the hollow chest. These,
then, are two of the most common
faults in the carriage Of the average
woman, both the result of ignorance or
come by regular systematic exercise.
To learn to walk and to stand correctly
are duties every woman owes to her
self, and they should form a part of ev-
cry girls early training, for a careless
habit once formed is hard to break
Stand well and walk well, and the rest
will follow, says The New Idea Wom-
ans Magazine, which discourses of the
'smart" girl as follows:
The "smart" girl takes herself seri-
ously, as though she were a poet, and
starts out with the determination to
perfect herself, body and clothes.
Here, then, is her secret. She knows
how to stand correctly, and she has
found out that no woman who poises
her body properly at the waist line can
ever appear commonplace, no matter
how simple her attire.
The minute a woman stands lightly

front is the aim of the up to date corset
makers, who are shortening their latest
! models a good three-quarters Of an inch
at the back of the waist.
Thus the altogether" taken in one
comprehensive glance from head to
foot and from the side, will be a pro-
nounced tilt forward, slightly reminis-
cent, perchance, of the one time &C
quired "Grecian bend"
The first sketch, besides exemplify-
ing to some extent this favOrite line Of
fashion, shows a gown which is a per-
feet poem in itself. 1t is of ivory en-
broidered point d'esprit, almost covered
with graduating applique tucks Of
ivory crepe de chine, the tucks arrang-
ed in a new manner, each showing a
peep of the lace beneath, a deep per-
pendicular fold of crepe de chine on
either side Of the hips breaking the line
Of tuckings. The bodice pouches over
a wide girdle or basque of deep cream
guipure, and has a gold embroidered
waistcOat. A mixture of lace and chif-
fOn is introduced into the sleeves, with
a soft little puff of the latter below the
elbow.
The second cut shows a smart yacht
ing coat appropriate to the season. This
coat wrap Is made of navy cloth and
has a simulated undercoat of red cloth
literally strapped with the blue, and
down the center of each strap runs a
line Of rich gold braid.
Certainly this season gossamer mate
rails are being worn in the daytime
which were not considered at all cor
rect in the times that are past. Net
with rings and spots and other devices,
plain tulles, lace. the most gossamer
Of silk muslins, are worked with gold
or silver threads and with minute
pearls.
But the great novelty of the moment
is without doubt small ribbons and mi
mute rouleaux worked into designs as
they used to be years ago. Looking
back TO the beginning of the nineteenth
century. when the short empire waists
were In vogue, we find the hems,of the
skirts were trimmed with interlaced
ribbons. whether they formed either a
series Of diamonds or consecutive cir
cles, and these played their part on the
sleeves and the bodices.
Flowers are a great adjunct to the
dress Of the moment. We have flower

simply can't stand correctly and look
slOvenly. The smart" girlisnever round
shouldered or hollow ckested, and. by
standing properly, she Ereathes proper
ly. Every full, deep breath she draws
strengthens the muscles Of her sides
and abdomen. She is bound not to
grow into fat, ungaInly woman, who
can never catch her breath or a train,
for a proper poise OF the body means
good digestion and good health.
1t is probably going too far to say
that a girl sets about being smart" In
order to be healthy, but it is absolutely
true that she Is quite likely to grow
stronger because Of her correct way
Of carrying her body.
How many women sink into a little
heap the minute they sit down-shoul-
ders dropping, chest sunken, the whole
weight of the body thrown on the end
Of the spine. The smart" girl sits in
the same erect, alert way that she
stands, and IL she wishes to rest she
leans back against her shoulders and
not the middle of her back. In bend
ing, whether at a desk or over a dish
pan or at a dinner table, she bends
from her waist, not from her shout
ders, and she not only looks well, but
avoids fatigue and the actual injuries
that come from any strain or misplace
ed muscles.

New York, Aug. 2.-Frederick L.

an elective Office in Porto Rico, is in
the city with party of Porto Rican
merchants and financiers. Mr.. Corn.

been elected to the lower branch of tho
Porto Rican legslat1r, which is con

One of the men in the party with Mr..
Cornwell is s. O. Charpentier, president
Of the French railway in Porto Rico.
Mr.. Charpentier is here to consult with
the Havemeyers relative to the estab.
lishment of great central sugar facto.
~ near Arecibo.
."This year." said Mr.. Cornwell, "the
sugar crop was worth $S,OO0,0OO. Last
year it amounted to only 5000, 600.
Next year it will probably be worth
81, 900, 900.
n There is no money on the island.
The circulation is $1.75 per capita.
There is great want, as Porte Rico has
not yet recovered from the terrific cy-
clone. 1t destroyed fully one-half the
coffee plantations. This year we will
have go per cent coffee crop.
Tobacco growers have not been en-.

pushed the Porto Rican cigar will crowd
the Havana out of the market here.

opefation, and the children are being
taught English as well as Spanish. Few
Porto Ricans speak English. In the
lower branch of the Legislature all the
debates are in Spanish.
There are fewer Americans on the
island than there were a year ago, but
most Americans who went there with
capital have done well"

part was wrought in pretty design Of
the chiffon flowers, and the rest was
bloused, and across the bust was drawn
drapery made of the net and wrought
to match the rest of the garment. The
long enCs were dotted and scalloped. A
little end of the lace showed at the belt,
which was Of black velvet. The sleeves
were loose little below the elbow and
trimmed to match and ended In a chif-
fon ruffle. The becoming hat worn with
this was Of black Tuscan straw, the
brim bent into more waves than q wo-
man has moods. 1t had as trimming
nothing but rich ostrich feathers, and
they were put on fat and curled around,
/ fitting in the depresslons. A parasol
calculated to make every other woman
turn green with envy was of white taft
feta, with full chiffon ruffles, each
edged with applique in the same gener-
al style as that on the dress, only they
were all pale green. There were three
rows Of very narrow black velvet rib
bon SET around the parasol Just above
the shirring that headed the ruffies, and
at every rib this was tied into a lot of
loops and ends. The wearer of this
dainty costume is owner Of fine string
Of matched pearls, and she has the best
complexion in the country.
This was but one of the elegant cos
tunes worn at this very swell function.
Mrs. Gerry wore lovely CONNECTION of
lilac foulard trimmed most Iayishly
with white lace, put on, as one lady
said. wherever It would do tire most
good. BY that 1--WE YMi' supposeAs hs

Her natty little bonnet was made to
match and had much fine lace on It
and some delicate velvet violets in a
pale shade. One young lady looked like
poor Little Buttercup in a yellow lace
over a taffeta> underdress Of the same
color. Her close bonnet was Of black
and yellow gauze. Yellow is often seen,
1t is true, and yet when we see a cos
tune all a study In yellow we some

much blue of pale shade and pink
also in delicate tint. and once in awhile
there is suspicion Of lilac But grays
and soft tans are more in evidence.
White gowns with some or a good
deal Of black velvet ribbon as trimming
are really the prettiest, always allow
ing the lace, without which no white
dress is complete and few colored ones.
One lady wore navy blue china crepe
long of skirt and princess shape, the
whole embroidered around the skirt
with chenille and silver flowers. On
the waist there was a simulated bolero
worked also with the blue chenille and
silver.
There were quite number Of batiste
gowns, some Of them hand painted and
some with applique of cretOnne figures
fastened down with floss silk done in
buttonhole stitch. This kind Of trim
ming is very pretty when rightly done.

| SINGAPORE. June 22.-Those who have
/ tried it affirm that a white man can en-
dure for about four years continuously
those extremes of either hot or cold eli
mate which test his limit, then he
should seek his own land for recupera-
ton. Englishmen in south Asia and its
| islands say that once a year, if they
can, they go to the mountain country,
| where they can sleep under blankets a
| fortnight or n month. Then their north
ern blood becomes cooled off and ready
for the heat again.
In Singapore, however, though 1t Is
only some 20 miles north of the equa-
| tor, white men have created a city so
agreeable and healthful that it is pos
| sble for them to live there in cOmpar-
alive comfort the year round. In re-
spect to sanitation and healthfulnesS
! Singapore furnishes sharp contrast to
/ Manila, that lazy, dirty old Latin town.
! They are about the same size, having
some 100000 inhabitants each, yet Sim
gapore is as much superior to Manila as

Is ahead of an old Spanish-American
| town. That, too, though Manila is 900
miles north Of Singapore and is much
more favorably situated by nature than
the British city. Manila might be made

The city and island Of Singapore
J were sold to Great Britain In 1924 by
the sultan Of Johore. Then the English
merchants and officials who had to live
there began making a white mans city
out of the ancient Malay village. First
there was sanitation, then street md
I road building, lastly identifying to be
attended to. Today the town is one OF
the cleanest in the world. 1t Is not en-
tirely drained and severed, as occiden-
tai cities are. but it Is kept healthful In
a way that is possible to a region where
the cheapest commodities on the mar
ket are human life and labor. Every
morning a Chinaman, with two covered
pals balanced upon a pole across his
burden bearing shoulders, comes to
each residence and carries away all
refuse matter and garbage. The streets
are almost perfectly clean. No pesti-

is not the picture Of some dream. ior it
IS the exact reproduction of a beautiful
gown worn at the tea concert here.
There were many other handsome
gowns, but none so picturesque as this.

the outer one of black Russian net. The
skirt was cut so that it fiared so widely
at the bottom that one would say that
there was a hounce, but there really
was not 1t was all done by the way
the trimming was applied. On the up
per part of the skirt there was series
of lines of chiffon applique, and these
ended in a general tangle of vines and
blossoms. The rest Of the net was en-
brOidered with dots of different sizes in
white filOselle, so that they looked like
so many silver coins. A row OF the ap-
plique chiffon reached all around the
bottom.
The waist was quite as remarkable as
the skirt. The foundation was Of taffe-
ia, and the neck was left open. so that

Extenaive Coal Lands

Some idea of the value of the coal de-
posits in Indian Territory can be gain
ed when it is known the average thick
ness of the vein is four feet. which will
produce 1000 tons an acre. These
lands are leased in lots of 96O acres
each, which means that 3.lO0.OOO to
100000 tons can be produced by those
leasing the land. On thissoutput the
lessees pay royalty of cents a ton.
The output during the last year was
1,9OO.127 as against 1,40O,442 tons the
previous year.
