The West Side Board of Trade held
their regular meeting last evening,
elected officers, discussed the viaduct,
received the secretary's annual report,
and acted on several other minor mat
ters.
The argument in relation to the VIA
duct resulted in the adoption of mo-
.on to the effect that in case the
supreme court decides against build
ing the viaduct In the center of the
street. the board favors the passing Of
a bond ordinance for the erection Of
a structure on the southerly side Of the
street, both for economical and prac-
tical reasons.
Another motion prevailed that the
viaduct committee be instructed to
communicate the sentiment Of the
board to the councilmen who are In
terested in the project. The proposed
new silk mill project was also reported,
and the board will make an effort to
have the plant exempted from taxa

Peoples Coal company and attached to
q wagon carrying two tons of coal were
left standing on Lafayette street late
yesterday afternoon while the driver,

coal.
The mules took fright at something In
the street and suddenly started on a
wild run. They passed Hyde Park
avenue at furious pace. and at the
corner Of North Main avenue dashed
into the window of Corner's butcher
shop. The window was smashed into
pieces and the coal was spilled all over
the sidewalk.

Women ut the POttcr's Wheel.


The newest outlet for women's energy
is pottery making The famous Rock
wood works were started by woman,
and many women are now turning
their attention to the possibilities of
the wheel. combined with deft fingers
and delicate fancy. in the manipulation
and designing of clay.
All over the country women are be-
coming interested in pottery making.
Classes are being formed and find en-
thusiastic students ready to join them.
Several classes are already in operation
in Brooklyn and are giving time to the
acquisition of this practical art. a To-
cal artist who is a member of one of
these pottery classes says:
"The work is and will be for some
time to come crude and imperfect, but
there is So much enthusiasm manifest
ed and promise of good work to come
that the outlook is very promising. 1t
is proposed to have courses in pottery
connected with china painting socie-
ties. This will be great step in the
right direction, for then china painters
will not be dependent on conventional
shapes in pottery and the necessity of
the same design being used over and
over again. but each woman can de
sign and model her own pieces and thus
give opportunity for the introduction
of original types"

An ApOIOgetic Luncheon,

He was considerably past middle
age, and he possessed gray chin whis-
kers and hair that curled under in the
back.
1t was noon, and he walked into
restaurant which was by no means a
quick lunch place.
Just bring me a little bread and
butter and cup of tea. don't feel
very hungry"
After the waiter had disappeared the
floor man approached him. Have you
given your order, SIR" he asked.
"Yes," explained the old gentleman
in conciliatOry voice. Il just ordered
a little bread and butter and a cup of
tea. din't very hungry"
Just as he had finished his luncheon
an acquaintance entered and took Il
seat by his side.
Had your lunch?' inquired his
friend.
"Yes. | wasn't very hungry, so
just ordered a little bread and butter
and cup of tea"
When he stopped at the cashiers
window, he presented the check, which
called for 10 cents, and put down the
coin.
Il only had little bread and butter
and a cup of tea" he explained. Il
wasn't very hungry. New York Her

living in paradise. Then
II wonder where dear Mr.. Jedbury
is. We had an appointment for row
on the lake"
1t was Miss Tubbs, who did not belle
her name. Jack rose awkwardly. his
face crimsoning under Miss Dentons
gaze.
II think some one is calling me-
Don't let me detain yOu,' returned
Miss Denton, with just touch of hau-
teur in her tones. And the unhappy
Jack strobe off with Miss Tubbs.
Every night for week when he
sought his hot room under the roof
Jack perjured himself afresh with
VOWS to abstain from Miss Dentons
company. AS matter of fact he was
at her side morning. noon and night
In time the walls of Miss Simpiins
and the other frumps reached the ears
of the hotel manager He was a man
of action. The next day Jack received
this businesslike note:
Mr.. Jedbury-Youre not keeping to your
bargain. Drop your flirting with Miss d.
or I'll blow the game on you, and then
see her drop you.
Had the hotel man been foolhardy
enough to deliver that bit of advice in
person Jack would probably have come
near killing him. AS it was, he tore the
note into myriad small pieces, and,
murmuring, III tell her myself and
save you the trouble" he strobe down
the hill after Miss Denton. He caught
up with her in quiet. secluded nook of
rocks, where the lichen and moss grew
rank and a tinkling stream sang per-
petual love songs to the overhanging
ferns.
The shadows fell thick about them or
he might have noticed that Miss Den
tons face turned color as he told of his
impending departure. Presently she
spoke:
I'VE shall miss you. II am very
sorry"
And l shall miss you," he mur-
INJURED. almost under his breath. She
bent forward as if to catch the words.
Then softly:
How much? Won't you tell me"
He threw discretion to the winds and
blurted out the whole miserable story.
When he finished, her hand had crept
mysteriously into his.
Il knew it all the time, Jack. You
are miserable actor, but Senator Daw-
son-hes our cousin, you know-says
you have the making of a splendid
lawyer"
Both her hands We're in his now, and
he held them tight.
"Do you mean that, Josephine, and
will you waltz"
She nodded her head slowly. Only
the tinkling stream heard the rest. And
the ripping brook knows the old, old
story by heart, and so do the dropping,
quivering ferns.

Englishwomcn's Ways.

The Englishwoman is greatly ad
mired for her utter refusal 10 worry or
to be worried Consequently she looks
young at fifty Undertaking no more
than she can comfortably carry out
and firmly believing in the coming of
another day, she does not procrasti-
nate, but simply will not let the domes-
tic machinery grind her down to i'll
health and an early old age,
She is Il frequent bather and regards
health as the prime factor of life, to be
looked after before everything else. She
sleeps nine hours and also takes nap
during the day, arranging her work in
the most systematic manner.
Her little memorandum slip always
shows two vacant hours-they are for
rest She eats heartily. but of the most
digcstible food. and would rather have
mouthful of good food and go partly
hungry than eat a whole meal of cheap

ImDrOying Hair,

To stop brushing the hair because II
comes out So is the worst mistake
possible On the other hand, mere
stroking of the hair is well nigh useless
while tugging a short bristled brush
through the hair often does lot OF
harm To make brushing effectual the
hair should be divided into small
strands and each strand treated indi
vidually. The brush should begin on
the scalp and then descend with slow
steady strokes to the tips of the hair
This process should be repeated half a
dozen times before proceeding to the
next. The best brushes are those with
long. firm bristles, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
1t is said that sage tea applied to the
roots of the hair daily will greatly in
crease its growth.

For the beginning of taxation we
must 20 to Roman times. Taxes were
then levied on agricultural produce
and cattle, and there was also curl
Gus and very oppressive tax on
corpses, which was one of the causes
of the revolt of the Iceni under Boad-
icea. From the earliest time of the
heptarchy there existed what may be
called a national levy for general pur-
pos"s. chiefly clerical, since two-thirds
of it were devoted to the maintenance
of the clergy and repairs of sacred
buildings. The other third was the
original of our present poor rates.
One of the earliest general taxes was
the shameful danegeld, levied by Ethel
red the unready in 991 for the purpose
of buying off the Danish marauders.
1t was duly sanctioned by the witan
and produced an amount equal to Il
million pounds sterling. Once levied,
the tax became permanent and one of
the chief of the revenues of the crown
till it was abolished in the reign of
Henry II. The earliest tax mentioned
in "Domesday Book" is fumage, or
hearth tax. levied OH all houses accord
ing to the lumber of hearths or fire
places. In t4.e reign of Charles ii. this
tax was revived under the name of
hearth money.

The Use of Face Creams.

Women are too stingy with their face
creams. Did you ever see a stage beau
ty manage this kind of bath? If you
have not, you know literally nothing of
the art In the first place. an actress
does not buy % cents worth of cream
and expect it to last lifetime but she
gets her cerate by the quart. After
bathing her face at night and drying
the skin she puts in each palm liber-
al quantity of cream and rubs not only
her face, but neck as well. Remember
that you must not neglect your throat
when caring for your face. Here is
where the teltale lines gather the fast
est. Almost in a night an ugly ring,
sometimes one and oftener two and
three appear to warn you of your care
lessness. Baggy folds and wrinkles
start just under the chin long before
the first crows foot is etched about
your eyes This is because you have
not been doing anything for this part
of yOllr body
The citizen., 1902-12-05

Little feet are a deformity, or, rather,
feet too small to harmonic with the
figure are. Better that the foot be too
large, if shapely. than too small.
Think of a Juno who stands feet
Z inches and tips the scales at 100
pounds teetering to and fro on No. l or
No. . feet. She should have a No. +
foot at the very least, and No. 6
would not be out of proportion.
To judge by the ideas of the Greeks
and Romans. beautiful feet are those
which are large enough to carry the
body most gracefully. The ancients aG-
mired stately carriage. Latin poets
speak of the gait of their beauties rath-
er than of their feet.

CULINARY CONCElTS.

bled eggs while they are cooking
To try when cake is done hold your
ear down and listen. If it has ceased

Potatoes cooked in their skins contain
the nutriment that is quite lost if they
are peeled before cooking.
To prevent the lower crust of any
custard or juicy pie from becoming
soggy sprinkle it before filling with
fine breadcrumbs
\ garnish for the mutton platter may
be prepared from cupful of rice boiled
until it is tender and mixed with one
half can ot Spanish peppers chopped
very fine.
When boiling fish, let it come gently
to bubble after putting it in the boil
ing water, then allow it to cook Just
below the boiling point. If it We're
boiled at the galloping point. the fish
would fall to pieces.
