WHY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have More Ieisurs Time Than Hen and
 Naturally Think Over Things.

From time immemoriaI women nave been told-by women, as well as men, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gI@y among gheir tresses. These warnings do lit tie good. The fair creatures go ou
 worrying and will probably continue tn do so until the millennium comes
 Why this is so is answered in this
 way The question Of worry with 1.omen seems to be simply this: Wom.
 en are So hedged about by the little
 ness ef their protected liyes-for 1t Is the protected woman who does the most worrying 1t is hard to sea beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- GUS. If women had the capacity with men o2 getting up anu doing battle with tbings, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those oi the average masculine Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels thal he has it within him (since money making is hls busness) to make suffl. cient money to pay his debts-some time Women look al It more pFac- tically. and consider the now. Mar doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the time Let him become i'll, though. ana have to stop his work, and how Is i with him? Man doesn't worry abou the future-he is so madly interested n the present; nor about his clothes for the tailor stands between him ane that; nor about home matters-they from his point of view, are too trivia until he comes home to badly cook. ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- ploye does not do hls work properly his employer gets some one who can method that will yet come to be a powerful lever in the leveling of wom sn's worries.

 Just 2 year ago some manufacturers of artistic textiles touring in Donegal resolved on establishing place for the making of hand -tufted carpets of the description generally known as Turkish or Persian" The peculiar ity Of this fabric IS that from it's na- ture it must be hand production. The tufts arc tied by the fingers in knots In longitudinal warps, which are stretched between two long parallel beams. Tho carpets are made to the size and shape of any room. The de- sisn is placed in front and the girls from three to q dozen, according to the size of the carpet, select the colors indicated row by row. which are tied, then bound down by shoots" of wool en weft drawn across the entire width and beaten firm by small iron-toothed hammers. There is interesting variety and pleasure m the work, and 1t Is such that individual skill and work manship come largely into play. Alto. gether, Jt is just such an industry as 1s suited to the rural districts of Ire land. No steam power is required and ehere is therefore no handicap on ths commercial side by the absence of coal.

CLEANLINESS WITHOUT SOAP.
That the Boers Don't Use 1t Doesn't
 Prove They're Dirty.

Surely too much importance Is at- tached to the scarcity of soap in the Boers' farm houses, says the l., don Truth. People may be very clean and use very little soap. The Russians and Japanese cleanse themselves with va DOT baths, rarely using soap when they do so A really healthy skin cleanses itself. Rough inside clothing, which. presume, the Boers wear, is a great 7kin cleanser. have known of doctors curing skin diseases by insisting on lingerie de luxe being cast aside and coarse undergarments worn instead. The late emperor of the French hard ly ever Slaped his hands until he wen. 70 England. l have come across a pa- per found in his desk at the Tuileries. 1t contained the instructions of the king of Holland to the governor of his two elder sons. Among the things for
 5ldden was for the young princes hands to be washed with soap. They were to use bran and slice of lemon. The lemop was to remove ink stains, and in summer to keep off gnats and mosquitoes. Napoleon, whose hands were good to model and beautifully white, also Used bran and no soap, unless to shave. l never use soap of any kind without a sense of skin dis comfort which not even deluge ot quite pure water will wholly remove In England. on account of coal smoke, soap is more needed than in countries with clear air. The Boers enjoy, per haps, the purest atmosphere in the world, except when there are dust storms. I know French ladies who have discarded soap for vaseline They smear themselves with the latter and then rub it off well with soft cotton towel. 4 doctor tells me that nothing Is more cleansing, but that he pref IS. as more tonic, plain cold water, fol-
