were in the vault.
The noise OF the explosion aroused

the robbers, who returned the shots.

AN APPEAL TO WOMEN.

Lady Florence Dixie makes a strong
appeal in the Independent to the wo-
men not to wear birds in their hats,
the killing of which, she argues, is a
barbarous custom, as is the wearing.
She contends that the turning of hats
into bird collins does not even improve
the appearance of the wearer, and that
If men were asked to give a frank
opinion they will assure the question
ers that woman's hat is disgraced and
disfigured, not adorned, when it be-
comes the receptacle of extinct bird
life. In her opinion "the hat of many
feathers" which women of fashion
wear is as grotesque and unsightly as
Che fantastic headgear of the wild
eavage.
Il appeal to women" continues
Lady Florence, ito let this custom be-
come an obsolete one and teach the
rising generation to regard it as bar
barrie. If every woman would refuse
to buy hat loaded with the remnants
of extinct bird life the purveyors
would cease to send forth the order to
the bird butchers to provide them with
the thousands and tens of thousands
of feathered dreams of beauty which
are annually sacrificed on the affairs
of fashion. Be merciful, is my earn
est prayer. Without it, no true pro-
gress is possible

Sir Alexander Dixie and daughter of

ORIGIN OF LIBERTY CAP.

When the Phrygians from the
shores of the Euxine conquered the
east of Asia Minor they distinguished
themselves from the primitive inhab-
itants by wearing their national cap
as sign of their independence, and
it was stamped on their coins. The
Romans adopted it, and when a slave
was freed placed a small red cap,
called pileus, on his head, proclaimed
him freedman and registered him
as such. When Saturnus took the
capital in 263 B. c.. he hoisted a cap
on spear to show that all slaves who
joined him should be free When
Caesar was murdered, the conspirators
raised a Phrygian cap on a spear as
a symbol of liberty. In England the
symbol of liberty is blue cap with a
white border and Britannia is repre-
sented holding such cap on the end
of a spear. The American cap of lib
erty has been adopted from the Brit
ish, and is blue with a white border
or bottom, on which are thirteen stars.
1t was adopted by the Philadelphia
Light Horse Troop. in 1875, under
whose escort General Washington
went to New York 1t was the token
of freedom and was stamped on Amer
lean coins in Disciplinary Educa-
ton.

THE AILMENTS OF CHILDREN.

That children should be afflicted
cause should be Investigated and the
remedy applied at once if parents
would preserve the health and lives
of their children.
One of the first causes of headaches
is too often rapid growth. AS a rem
edy keep children from overwork and
feed them with rather cooling foods
and little meat.
Plenty of fresh air and outdoor life
will neutralize any ill-effects arising
from too much intellectual activity.
Indigestion is a fruitful cause of
headaches, and is most frequently the
result of improper food or overeating.
Regular hours and suitable diet is the
only remedy.
Headaches frequently have a nerv-
Gus origin, in which case the head
should be kept cool by cold applica-
lions and the feet warm by hot foot
baths; also massage the limbs and
back and give tepid baths daily.
Sometimes headaches are heredi-
tary, and poison of the blood may
cause them, arising from being born
of equity or rheumatic or scrofulous
parents.
Sea air and sea bathing are recon-
mended for such children, and let
them out of door all they can. Too
little blood and too little fresh air
cause many headaches Good food and
gentle exercise will correct this in
time.
Blows on the head or injury of any
kind will produce pain in the head,
when of course rest is the medicine
required, with cold cloths on the head
and hot foot baths. The majority of
headaches in children are caused by
bad air in bed rooms and school rooms
and faulty diet at home. Correct these
and usually the headaches will disap-
pear
Four hours is the limit of time a
child should go without food during
the day. Don't go to the other ex-
treme however, and let them have
bites" at all hours of the day. Meals
at regular intervals and nothing be-
tween should be rule rigidly kept.
Never let the children's bed be
pushed against the wall at night or
back in an alcove. There should be a
free current of air all around if you
want them to grow up healthy and
strong. The window should never be
shut, and wide open one, even in the
depth of winter, will do them no harm
once they grow accustomed to it. See
that their eyes are sheltered from the
light. A strong light falling on the
eyes when any one is asleep weakens
them, and the sleep is not so refresh

THIN BLOUSES.

No self-respecting woman nowadays
attempts to wear thin blouses without
a silk or muslin slip underneath.
Shirts and blouses should always be
avoided by the untidy type of woman.
To look well they must be beautifully
put on and properly arranged at the
neck and waist.
Practical shirts are now made with
a high collar and stock, while after
noon blouses are left transparent to
the neck line, with beautiful lace col
lars. Except on the hottest of sum-
mer days, a transparent neck worn in
the morning with a tailormade coat
and skirt appear incongruous and
against the laws of good dressing.

THE PICTURE HAT.

The picture ha. has never been
more beautiful than it is today. Yet
in a measure it has fallen on evil days
for the simple reason that it is so
often donned by the wrong woman.
There is terrible type of would-be
artistic lady who imagines that she
possesses all the qualifications neces-
sary for the successful wearing of the
picture hat by reason of her knowl-
edge of art. But unfortunately this
lady has no knowledge whatever of
dress, and she processes to be above
the vanities of this world, apart from
art. The result is always disastrous,
as can easily be proved by a look in"
at Washington Star.
