No Gain in Nervous Haste.

Dress slowly: don't allow yourself to get nervous: no one gains any time by it, and many women have absolutely chiseled lines into their faces in the nervous contrac- tions of the muscles about the brow, eyes an mouth from too violent "hustling." II is just as important that a thin woman should wear her clothing loose for fat woman not to draw herself into an inadequate compass. Have your clothing not only loose. but also light in weight with lots of spare space about the chest and shoulders.
 For breakfast. if you are dependent upon vour coffee drink it with much cream ur milk or sugar you can without its being iistasteful to you: if you can do so without too much sacrifice flor l know how most wo- men depend on the morning coffee) substitute cocoa chocolate.
 Make your first meal of oatmeal or any other palatable cereal. baked potatoes. with butter and cream, bread and butter fruit. anything containing starch or sugar. You are to avoid meats as much possible bit of juicy beefsteak or a broiled chop will not hurt you but it will not bring you either fat or weight Many very thin people are troubled with dys- pepsia and of course if your food is moi properly digested. it cannot make blood or muscle. Dyspepsia is a frequent cause for cancellation.

What Happened to Jones.

Mir. Watterson told the following in- teresting story of whN happened to Jones before he set out upon his first cruise in European waters:
 "The day before this important event happened the Duchess of Chartres gave a luncheon to Captain Jones at husbaDd, the Duke, afterward the fa- nous Philippe Egalite. had met Jones three years before off Hampton Roads and liking had sprung up between them. The Duchesse. introduced to the young Colonel by her husband him self, took a fancy to him: a very SC rious and lasting fancy as 1t proved, a fancy that meant patronage and standing at court. and money; for this royal personage-royal by nature as well as by brth-this Adelaide de Bourbon, granddaughter of the grand mon arch. and mother of the yet-to-be citizen King-was the richest Princess in Eu- rope. At the luncheon which she gave to Jones were the chief officers of the French fleet riding at anchor in the har- bor, among them. of course. the rank ing Admiral, Count d'Orvilliers Natur- ally the company talked shop at table, and the famous battle of Malaga. In which the Duchesse's grandfather, the Count de Toulouse, had commanded the French coming up for review, Jones
 showed such surprising knowledge ot every detail. and defended so skilful!| the tactics of his hostess progenitor. that In a burst of enthusiasm and grdtl- tude she caused to he brought from her jewel case q Louis Quinze watch of rare design and great value which her grand father had worn. and presented this to Jones' Though taken aback. the em- bryo hero had wit and presence of mind enough to say May it please your Royal IIighncss. if fortune favor me, I shall one day lay an EnglisA frigate at your feet How faithfully and well he kent the rrn'n's" w. '
 Thus it was" said MT. Watterson, that Captain John Pant Joir.7 pu- Ip
 sea in the Yankee frigate Ranger the Stars and Stripes flying from her mast head saluted hy the guns of D'Orvilliers as he passed the French tlcct-the first salute from foreign guns that flag ever received-and thus he began The career of havoc and glory which made his name terror to English hearts from the Isles of Scilly to the Hebrides. from the Texel to the Bay of Biscay-a terror that deep ened into hate. ,redolent of falsehood and defamation. and. with narrow minded and ignorant people. surviving evon to this present day.

Here In this then comparative and luxurious lord-near the banks of the Shenandoah. of which the muses sing with his dogs, guns. books and fine fur niture brought over from England. The fact that he kept twelve beds for guests and a dining room furnished with ample accommodations for many visitors. as well as his keeping ninety-seven negro servants, are signs that he was hospita- ble. He entertained the rich and the poor of good character, and was generous al- ment in love-" says Dr. Burraby, one of the earliest English tourists, Ifs thought to have excited in him a general dislike for the sex. in whose company. unless he was particularly acquainted with the par ties, 1t is said he was reserved and under evident restraint and embarrassment; but I was present when, upon visit to Lieu tenant Governor Fauquier, who had ar- his lady. and nothing the kind appeared to justify the observation"
 Royalist as he was, born and bred to the belief in the divine right of kings, he watched the course of the revolution. which his friend Washington was con- ducting to so triumphant close. On October 19, 17S1, or a few days later, the news reached him that Cornwallis had surrendered to Washington. Whether the shock was caused by Washington's vic- tory or Cornwallis's downfall. there Is DO record, At any rate, he took to hts bed and never rose, save when he was car ried to the old churchyard in Winchester, and from thence to his last resttng-place beneath the sanctuary of the handsome Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, at the northeast corner of Water and Wash- ington Streets. at the entrance of which is a memokial tablet and the Fairfax court of arms.
 recent short story of Lord Fairfax's burial place concludes:
 There Is a pathos in the fact that no kindred dust Is nigh him. that he lies alone in country far from the land of his birth, far away from the woman whom he loved; and as we stand near the spot where he lies we dream of the time when his word was law in the North. ern Neck of Virginia, and now he is but memory of the past to us of another generation, But how forcibly one is re- minded, when standing by his tomb, of the transitorv state of all human glory. Sic transit gloria mundi."
 And 1t may be said of his mouldering ruins:
 What beauteous visions fillcd this spot! What dreams of pleasure long forgot! Nor hope, nor love, nor joy, nor fear, Have left one trace of record here"
