HANDWRITING HARD TO READ.
The Typewriter Threatens 10 Rel
egate Among Lost Arts That
of Penmanship.

With the almost universal use of
the typewriter in correspondence, bill
ing, mercantile papers, and in authors
manuscripts, has come about the ina
bility of men to read ordinary hand
writing. says the Chicago Tribune.
This use Of the typewriter may have
had something to do with making
handwriting more extraordinary than
it ever was, but in the days when a GER
tain school of almost illegible hand
writing was so affected by lawyers,
physicians, clergymen, journalists and
literary men, It is doubtful if the mere
lack Of practice in present day pen
men causes them to turn out manu-
script to compare with that Of years
ago,
Whatever is the matter" says an
observer in big publishing house, "it
is true that young men and young
women of to-day almost have lost the
art Of reading matter written by pen
or pencil. They come to me by the
half-dozen every day, asking that !
help them out in deciphering letters
or manuscript, In such eases know
that the manuscripts are not as bad
as those OF 40 years ago, and this for
several reasons:
1--WE have better paper nowadays;
we have better pens, better pencils,
and it no longer is fashionable for
ANYBODY using pen to affect an un-
tidy letter. Some Of this angular pen
affected by young women is
hard to read when it comes TO proper
names, but otherwise | find the pen
written letter to-day remarkably easy
to read.
"Why can't the young folks read il?
Simply because they are spoiled by
letters and manuscript.
l don't know II penmanship is TO be
come lost art, hut the reading Of il
seems to be promising OF such a fate"

YEARS OF THE PoNTIFIcATE
Duration of the ReIgns of some of
the Popes-Oniy Two In the Last
FIfty-Flve Years.

Pope Leo XIII. has just celebrated
the completion Of the twen;y-fourth
year Of his pcntiicate. II le live for
one year longer lie VIII Gn.sh Il de-
struction Of one Of tie most gn'ient
traditions of the Catholic church.
Down to the 10th Of June. 1871, it was
widely believed that no pore since Pc
ter could reign for % years. That was
the length ascribed to Peers pCnliti-
cate, and in all the l.so0! !~ar..Letween
him and Plus TX, the predecessor OF
the present pope, none had ruled so
long. That none could do so had be-
come an article Of firm belief The
pope was told on his accession: "Non
yidebis amos Petri'' ('ThOu shalt not
see the years Of Peter"). There had
been almost 26O popes in these IS cen
turtles, and the rule had not had one
single exception. II was natural
therefore, that when the twenty-ffth
anniversary OF the accession of Plus
TX. approached there should be gem
eral apprehension throughout the
Catholic world. The pope himself did
not expect to reach the limit which
none Of his predecessors since Peter
had attained. But the fated date came
and went and Plus TX. still lived. lie
lived six years longer, and when he
died on the 18th Of February, 1878, he
had reigued for nearly 80 years, says
Samuel +. Moffett, in the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post.
Now Leo Kill seems likely TO give
the tradition its final blow. In an
other year, il he live, two popes in sue
cession will have done what no single
pope before them ever did in IS cen
turtles. Already the combined reigns
Of Plus TX. and Leo XIII. surpass all
records in the long history of the
papacy. There have been only two
popes in the last So years. On an av-
crage in former times there would
have been eight in the same number of
years. In the 50 years following s91
there were 10. On several occasions
there were two in single year. In
l500-02 there were four in less than
two years. The average length of
pontifcate from the time Of Peter to
that of Plus TX was less than seven
years. Under the last two popes it
has been nearly 2s years.
Leo XIII. has already surpassed all
the predecessors Of Plus TX. except
Plus W., who assumed the tiara just
before our revolution, on February
IS, ITS, and reigned for "a years, six
months and "A days, until August 90,
1899. II was with the last-named pom
tif that the era of papal longevity
may be said to have begun, for his sue
cessor, Plus VII, reiRned 20 years, five
months and seven days. from March
13, 1900, to Angst 20. 1s23-a record
that had not been touched in the thou
sand years from Adrian l., who was
the contemporary Of Charlemagne
and Haroun-al- -Raschid, to Plus VI.
Plus TX. was comparatively n young
man at the time Of his election, but
Leo XIII. was not. II he can complete
his quarter-centennial the traditional
limit Of the years of Peter will be dis
posed Of forever.

TO PREVENT DECAY.
CIeanIinsss Is the First Rule for the
Preservation of the
Teeth.

The liability of the teeth TO decay
varies in different persons, but 1t IL
seldom that even the weakest teeth
could not be saved by cleanliness,
saws the Youths Companion. The
beginning Of decay in tooth con-
sists in the eating out of the lime IN
the enamel by Tactic acid. This acid
is the result OF fermentation of the
starchy food particles left betwee1
the teeth or between the loOseneS
gum and the neck Of a tooth. In or
der to prevent its formation the
mouth should be rinsed after each
meal with an antiseptic wash. A So
luton of bUrax in lukewarm water
makes a seryiceable mouth wash, and
there are many other kinds to be
had in the drug stores. But WORD
of caution is necessary here: An
astringent mouth wash, contrary TO
the usual belief is not good for
long use, for it may cause
retraction of the gums and conse-
quent loosening of the teeth.
The teeth should be brushed at
least twice day, and in the evening
some deutlfrice had better be used.
Dentifrices acts mechanically-tha
is, they scour; or chemically that is,
they cleanse and purify by ailling dis
ease germs; or they may act both
mechanically and chemically. Most
OF them contain antiseptic sub
stances, and usually some soap.
The securing properties of denti-
frices are due to precipitated chalk
or magnesia, with some aromatic sub
stance added to give a pleasant taste.
Sometimes powdered charcoal or
pumice is added TO give more grit;
but this is not desirable, for it may
scratch the enamel OF work down be-
meath the gum and lift it from the
tooth.
Many dentifrices contain bots me-
chanical cleanser, such as magnesia
or chalk, and chemical purifier, such
as soap, thymol or'boracic acid.
After the use of any den,ifrice the
mouth should be thoroughly rinsed
in order to remove all solid parti-
cles from between the teeth or be-
meath the edge of the gums. The
coarser food particles should he re-
moved lin priyate) after each meal by
means Of a quill or wooden tooth
pick. dental floss silk or small rub
ber band.
In addition to this personal at
tention. one should have the mouth
inspected every year or oftener by a
dentist, that the tartar may be re-
moved and any possible decay detect
ed and treated.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Little Fanciss OF Dress for the Adorn-
ment of MiIndy's Latest
Costume.

Many OF the new silk blouses are
relieved with narrow bands OF black
and white pin-striped silk and lace.
The newest buckles resemble bat,
oxidized, silver or gilt, with wings
outspread. The velvet or satin rib.
bon is passed through and across the
center OF the body, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
A velvet ribbon. or one of soft
satin, drawn through the bat buckle
and tied in a short, outspreading bow
at the back, represents one of the
latest fancies for blouse waist An
ishes.
Many OF the handsomest of the sea
sons gowns in etamine and canvas
are artistically trimmed with an
tique Japanese embroidery, which
forms collar, revers and cuffs.
For the convenience and comfort OF
the fair automubilist some genius has
invented yoiumlnuus veil OF mica.
which is perfectly transparent, and
absolutely dust and air proof. The
veil is tied over the hat like the or
dinary face protection Of net OF chif-
fon, for the mica is exceedingly fex-
ible and not at all unbecoming.
Hand-worked white linen, showing
designs of perforated English EN-
broidery and medalions in solid
stitching, is one OF the most effect
i've OF the new embroideries.
The new parasols, while light col
ored and bright in hue, are not rs
befrilled as in some other seasons,
except the fu!l-dress fete parasols.
PLAIN silks have patterns geomet-
rical or otherwise, some are printed
with roses, some violets, some have
Persian designs, and the Empire
wreaths have found a place upon
them.
Parasol handles have become so
elaborate that they are stored in the
jewel case nowadays. They are long
er than formerly, and cabochous OF
sapphires, corals, matriN turquoise,
jade and pearl lend an effective touch
of establishment to the quaint heads
of metal, crystal OF wood.
Among the pretty and practical
novelties are porcelain buttons, hand
painted, which come in sets OF five.
three for the front and two for the
sleeves. Many of the buttons are e1.
quisitely painted in floral designs.
