Lace handkerchiefs should be

are a few drops of ammonia, and
CASTLE soap only should be used.
Washed in this way they will look
like new. They should not be ironed,
but should be spread out smoothly

A pair of sympathetic eyes, low, /

A pair of sympathetic eyes, low,
sweet voice, and an equanimity OF
temperament, more than counterbal-
vivacity, and it is when a woman
strives to please man that her powers
of fascination increase. She learns to
take an interest in his daily pursuits,
be they business or pleasure, and moth
ing appeals to the masculine heart
more than the thought that one of the
opposite sex is ready to praise when
he triumphs and sympathize with him
in his trials.
Many young women, of course, pos.
sess these characteristics, and, besides
being pretty, have a truly lovable and
sympathetic nature, which makes them
doubly attractive in the. eyes Of a
man.
Most men have habit of comparing
one woman with another, and it is not
long before they begin to perceive that
beauty is only skin deep, as the saying
goes, and that although woman OF
from thirty to thirty-five is not sc
pretty as those with whom he is ac.
quainted, who are some years younger,
yet the former is brighter in disposition
and more interesting and sympathetic
in character than the latter. This is
because the older woman has had
more experience of the world. Her
character has developed, and she real
ICES that a woman needs more than
a personal beauty to win and retain a
mans love.

A Beau tifier of Complexion.

'Have you noticed" said a lady to
a friend, "how pretty Annie Holt has
grown lately? She used to wear such
sad, woe-begone expression that it
always gave me a fit of the blues to
look at her. She may have had those
fine dark eyes, and that sweet rosy
mouth always, but, somehow, l never
noticed them until recently" eyes, 1
have remarked the improvement in
Annie's looks" replied the other, "and
I know the secret Of the change"
"What is it?" queried the first speaker
eagerly. "Well, Annie was convinced
that her life was particularly narrow
and devoid of brightness, and she was
growing morose and bitter about It.
A friend who had tried the plan her.
self, persuaded her to keep a diary,
and to put down faithfully each day
every little pleasure that came to her,
and also every opportunity that offered
to brighten the day for others. In a
short time she was surprised to find
how many records of this kind her
diary contained. By taking note of
the pleasant things, she gradually
formed a habit of looking for them
instead of the gloomy ones, and-well,
you see the result" "Who would have
thought that it would have made such
difference in her appearancew ex-
claimed the other. "Now think un-

he said, There is no beautifier of COM

WAsTEFULNeSS IN MEAT.

or the many arguments put forth in
favor of a vegetation diet, especially
in warm weather and in seasons when
the Beef Trust is in the ascendant,
none is more effective than that of
economy. Nor is the economy under
stood at first glance. If it is true that.
weight for weight, cereals and vege.
tables, eggs and cheese are more nu-
tritious than meat, it is still to be con-
sidered how little meat one has for
his money. The person who buys a
pound of mutton chops at twenty-four
cents pound, or pound of beef for
roasting at thirty cents does not buy
pure nourishment, by any means. I'm
less he can eat fat, which not many
people relish, he will not extract from
his pound Of chops more than third
of a pound of meat. This brings his
crop up to a rate of seventy-rwo cents
a pound. The beef is perhaps more
generous, yet when the tendon, the
fat and the bone, for which he has paid
full price, have been extracted, the
edible portion Of his purchase has prob
ably lost half; hence he has paid for
beef at the rate of sixty cents pound.
Vegetables are almost wholly food.
The skin of the potato is nothing to
its substance; there is no waste to the
turnip. beet, radish, parsnip, carrot,
dandelion, lettuce, spinach, cabbage,
egg plant, cucumber, tomato, onion,
cauliflower, at least none that amounts
to anything; peas and beans lose their
shell and corn its cob, yet the waste is
less than in meat; there is not as much
substance in asparagus and artichoke,
hence they may be regarded more as
luxuries; but in nearly all fruits, nuts
and grains we have nutriment in con-
centrated form. The amount of water
is hardly to be considered as waste,
or, il it is, meat is equally waste for
the same reason.-Brooklyn Eagle

piece of lighted paper, and as the

Saturday morning at, 10 o'clock
at the residence of his parents,
Col. and Mrs. Green Clay, the fun
eral services of Rhodes Clay were
conducted by the Rev. James
Noble, rector of Grace church,
jefferson City.
Never did the beautiful Episco-
pal burial service seem more sol
emn and appropriate than on this
sad occasion. The deceased lay in
an open casket. Above his head
arose Il canopy, draped with black
and purple. He lay like one in a
deep sleep while a profusion of
flowers, pure and beautiful, some
of which were wrought into the
most tasteful designs, exhaled
their fragrance over and around
his couch. That grand hymn,
LEAD Kindly Light, amid the en-
circling gloom" was rendered by
IA choir of young men. Also al
the end of the burial service-il
the home-was sung that cOnsoling
hymn, "Come, Ye Disconsolate."
The house was filled to overflow
ing with sympathizing friends, who
after the last hymn repaired to tn,

committed to the grave; earth tt
