The use of cosmetics flourished among the Egyptians and Hebrews to a degree unknown among us, or even among our grandmothers of the eighteenth century, when the art was in the zenith of it's fla Vor. More ancient still was the custom of artifcially imparting lustre to those orbs upon which the expression of the whole features depend.
 The Greek ladies, renowned throughout time for their transcendent beauty, were eXtravagant users of cosmetics. They whitened their foreheads, spread over their faces the hues of the lily, intermin- gled with the bloom of the rose, dyed their eyebrows and fashioned them like arches, rendered the eyes humid and bright by the use of powder of lead ore, gave a ruby tinge to their lips and whit ened the teeth with ivory.
 The ladies of ancient Rome, also cele- brated for beauty and virtues, carried the art of mending nature, or painting the lily. to a point far in advance of that attained by the Greeks.

A Brave Champion of Weak Animals.

Lady Florence Diixe's book. Songs of Child" has already reached its second edition. It Is now many years since the Marquis of Queensberry's only surviving sister first threw the whole force of her energetic nature into the work of as- suaging animal suffering. She carries her advocacy of the weak against the strong to lengths to which few dare to follow her.
 An instance of this occurred once at Newmarket. King Edward. then, of course, Prince of Wales. was standing in the members inclosure talking to the lady who Is now Duchess of Devonshire and to Lady Florence Suddenly from the other side of the course roar arose.

I'm mediately a chase ensued, and the ter rified creature fled for its life yet farther into danger. An immense mob followed it for fun hooting and shouting. fling ing sticks and making wild grabs as it darted hither and thither. Most people laughed. Bets were exchanged on it's chance sof escape. Then shout was raised They've got iti' and the fickle in- terest of the fashiona bles in the inciosure suddenly turned to the subject more es- pecially in hand, the condition of the fa- vorite and his rivals. who came down the paddock just then

PAINTING THE LILY.
By Andrew James Miller.

With a chivalrous reverence for our conquerors. the triumphant fair, one may yet remark that they have ways" not wholly ideal Among these Is the artistic use of cosmetics, whose greatest expon- ents in the past have been Madame Re camer. Madame Ponpadour and the gift ed, but cratic. Madame de Stael.
 1t was Shakespeare who hints at the refinement of superauity to paint the lily and who found much in this foible of feminine fancy that furnished food for light sarcasm. But, in spite of the lines of this greatest bard. and many others who have initiated him, the ladies of all times have bcen addicted to the use of cosmetics and will most likely continue the habit to the end of time. It is one of their hirthrights and even if 1t should be vanity. which may or may not pro charms they are justified by the precep' and example of their most ancient, as well as modern sisters

Summer Homes in the Mountains

Undoubtedly the most invigorating and healthful region in which to spend the heated term is among the resorts along the line of the Chesa peake and Ohio Rail- way, in the mountains of the Virginias These resorts vary in altitude from 1900 to 2,5OO feet, and are celebrated for grand and picturesque surroundings. variety of mineral waters and exhilirating climate with mildly warm days and cool, refresh ing nights that produce energy and bouyancy which promotes health and en. ioyment There are over 300 Summer Homes in the mountains and on the sea- shore reached by the c. and O.

DEBT OF THE woRLB.
Great Britain and the United States the Only Nations to Make
 Raductions

: A Paris letter to The Boston Transcript says: The Matin says: In 1891 the worlds debt amounted to $3,0OO, ,00o.O0o; in 184s, after the Napoleonic wars, it was $S, ,4o0 000 900; in 1901. $3l 500, GOO 900. It if- cerased within the last century by $2S,- 00U.0 900; but whereas during the first part of this century, notwithstanding the gigantic wars which then unsettled part of the world. it increased but at the rate of to 1. the increase during the second part was at the ratio of 10 to A.
 Toward this increase each nation has contributed with all it's power. only two nations preserved their cool blood: Great Britain, which during forty years reduced its debt by N.0OOOOo. and the United States which reduced It's liabili- ties by over $. 400. .0o0,000.
 The Austrian debt which in 1850 was but $600 GOO. 900. reaches at present H.70o- 0O.0O0: the debt of Germany has sro%1 from $116 COG. 900 in 1870 to $559, GOO 0a0: that of Italy. which In 1889 was $1 400, 900, 900. is now g, ,5S3. .00. 900: the debt of Russia which in 1853 was $400 000, 600. exceeded in 1900 8 900 000. 900. France Is easily winner of the contest; her debt which in 1852 was little over $1 000. GOO. .000 amounts today to about $5, ,SO0. 100000 or almost six times the amount in the former year. constituting almost one-fifth of the total worlds in- debtedness.
 The debts of the Germanic and Slavic
 group of nations the last quarter of the century have been due chiefly to the pur- chase or construction of railways. and they possess in these physical capital which almost equals their total debt, and derive therefrom a revenue almost suffi- cient for the service of this debt. Quite different picture is presented by the Latin nations. These have within the last twenty-five years increased their debts by &, ,000. 900 GOO. Spain and Italy very near doubling their debt France almost treb- ling hers. In return they cannot be said to have acquired any well-defined mate rial assets. France particularly, which perhaps spent more than any other na- tion has on her railways. will have to
 wait until 1854 to acquire ownership of them.

 These old and distinguished criterions were supplemented, in later centuries. by the secret preparations of the monks, who added the approval of the church to an art that is closely associated with the destiny of the race. It has ever been conceded that, to this harmless vanity of woman, she owes many of her excel lencies and her complete lovability. It is so completely a part of her existence that it extends to concern as to her appearance even in death.

HOW THE AUTUMN GIRL WILL DRESS

the blending of brown and red, deep
green's and leaf-yellows seem very
appropriate for fall wear. Some
green, it may be but line, is noticed
in almost all the fabrics.
These gowns are quite tailory, and
on many. of them pipings of leather
are used. Yesterday we saw very
effective Norfolk suit of rough brown
and white trimmed with pipings of
red leather. Not only is leather en-
ployed for the narrow pipings, but
also for belts, collars and cuffs. For
ourselves, we prefer a limited use
of this material.
Z The skirts are made up without
Innings. Gored ones with the flare
below the knee are liked, but the
plated skirts are gaining in favor.
Those who do not find the hip yoke
unbecoming-andi it is very unbeeom-
ing to thin fgure-may use the
smoothly fitted yoke and lower plaits.
Basque jackets are being preferred
now to the shorter Etons; the belted
Norfolk and the blouse.
Buttons and pockets are much In
evidence, and add quite an air to the
outing, or street, suit, whichever you
please to call it.
The shirt waist suit in light weight
wool also forms part of the costume
of the autumn girl. These suits are
very trim and serviceable, and occupy
for the winter the place the cotton
ones did in the summer. For these
costumes, cravat, belt and collar must
be of the latest mode, and then very
desirable effect is obtained at com
paratively small cost. Small checks
and inconspicuous plaids are hkeo
for the wool shirt waist suit.

And the frivolity is carried out in

have We had such a lot of fOunces; IN
fact, there is decided tendency to

The all-black gown is considered
elegant and modish, but one should

The plump woman need have no
