The Secret of Beauty,

London News: A we'll known French
writer once preached in all seriousness
the maxim that 1T is the first duty Of
Women to look beautiful. But though
he does not state his meaning clearly,
it is evident that he considers beauty
that of mere feature. AS the years
roll by we cannot expect, nor IAN we
even wish, If we are sensible women
to retain the radiant beauty Of youth.
On the other hand, the pleasant ex-
preston that denotes a sweet DISPOSE
ton will gradually glorify the plainest
face. 1t Is within the power of the
middle-aged matron, with the added
dignity that only years can bring, to
possess a beauty and power OF fascin-
alton that equals, or even surpasses,
nat of her vanished youth. It is now
recognized that every age has a beauty
of its own, and it is no longer consid-
cred necessary in the age of sere and
yellow leaf to hide pretty silver gray
locks under those monstrosities called
mop caps. or to distort the still grace
full outlines of the matronly figure in
that shapeless garment dignifed by the
name of the mantle. Nous avons
change tout celia. 1 almost think that
more time than skill are expended
nowadays on suitable clothes Tor the
mothers than on garments for the
daughters. Beauty unadorned" is most
fitting for youth, but those of mature
age require the most careful setting.
All of the soft %clinging materials,
such as crepe de chine, linen de sole
and wolfe, are particularly becoming to
the matronly figure. The pretty peler-
Ines or capes, now SO fashionable, seem
invented for the especial benefit of the
middle-aged. provided they are chosen
to suit the 6 of the wearer. l saw
recently a charming dress of black
wolfe made for an elderly lady. The
skirt was tucked at the hips and the
bodice was pleated and brought down
into a point at the back. The trent
was made very p~rettily with the add
ton of a cape Of white lace, with stole
fronts to give it rae Another pref
ty idea is to have the lace drawn across
the shoulders rather like the early Vic
torian idea, and fastened in front like
a fichu. l wish that more matrons
that are inclined to ~embonpoint would
realize that in order to decrease the
appearance of stoutness all the lines
Of lace or whatever trimming is used
should run doWnWards only.

LEPERS OF
Natural Beauty Of the Place Where
Unfortunate PEOPLE Live.

N'b'N >SPtS -lNC
Housekeeper: 1t was doubtless from
China that the disease spread to the Ha-
waiian island. and the natural condi-
tons and customs of the natives there
made 1t particularly fertile ground for the
spread Of the horrible afi1iction. The au-
thorities soon became alarmed at the foot
hold 1t was gaining among the Islanders,
and various restrictive measures were
tried without success. Finally the gov
rnmen decided to set aside an island
and compel all lepers to go there for the
remainder of their lives. Upon my first
visit to the islands there were 1,5OO pa
tents, but that number has greatly re-
duced since then, and it is generally boz
lieved that another generation will see
the disease utterly stamped out on the
islands.
Molokai was the island selected for the
leper settlement. 1t Is not a great dis
lance from Oahu. the one upon which
Honolulu Is situated, and II natural beau
ty can compensate for loss Of friends and

Jane Canary became one OF the vests

rowdy, who killed wild

when the Miles and Terry and Crook

snterprising manager fenced her Mon

mission fee to the tourists who do"

thing that make me feel as If l were
Eoverstepping my position in life. l was

Williams speaks particularly OF Mr..
,Gladstone's devotion to his family. He
was always kind to them" he said,
land there was nothing they could ask
for that he would not send out and get.
The servants were treated as members
of the family, and never would the old
gentleman pass them without aying
some sweet word of greeting" Williams
said there We're but four members OF
the Gladstone family at the castle.
These were the old gentleman, as he
referred to him, Mrs. Gladstone and the
son and daughter.

SILK CULTURE IN CHICAGO.
Worm Can Form Cocoon by Feeding or
Red MuIberries.

Chicago correspondence Philadel-
phia Press: Silk dresses are in sight.
for all Chicago girls who a them.
The experiment of raising silk worms,
instituted in May by Albert Labarthe,
has proved a practical success. AL
ready many thousand yards of genuine
Chicago silk have been reeled off the
cocoons by Mr.. Lambarthe. He will
during the next day or two send the
remaining cocoons to the agricultural
department at Washington, which sup
piled him with the eggs, for an official
test of the quality of the silk.
THE point of this experiment." said
Mr.. Labarthe yesterday, does not lie
in the proof that the silkworm can
form his cocoon in the United States
as readily as in France or China, but
in the fact that he can do so after be-
Ing fed or the red mulberry instead OF
the white. There are no white null
berries in this country.
1.-THE effect of this test is to show
that 1T Is practicable to begin the silk
industry in Chicago at once. l have
had experience with the industry In the
department of the Loire in France. II
is likely that l will now import a large
number of eggs and begin the raising
| Of worms on a big scale. My test
| shows that l Will be able to feed my
worms on the red mulberry for five
years during which the white mulberry
trees which l will plant are growing
The white mulberry is, of course. bet
ter food than the red. But it is not
absolutely essential. There Is no rea-
son why within ten years a vast
amount of silk should not be produced
| right here in Chicago.
THE chief requisite Of silk raising
is the necessity for sedulous care. The
eggs are first placed in an incubator
In three days the worms are Matched
These are fed on the mulberry fol
about thirty days. At the end of that
time they form the cocoons. In ten OIL
twelve days these cocoons are steamed
| This is for the purpose Of killing the
worm inside. Then the %cocoons, whose
outside is the silk, are sold to the man
ufactories. Twelve hundred or 1906
yards of unbroken silk thread comes
from each cocoon. 1t is reeled off anC

ed here" concluded MI. Labarthe. 'tht
, price of silk will certainly be mucl
lessened."
Mr.. Labarthe did not care to make
an estimate as to the probable cost o
silk under these conditions. 1t woul
be cheaper" he said. He spoke in ;
way which suggested that the woman!

UTILIZE MUSSEL SHELLS.
A Company Forming in Louisville for
Extensive Op CREATIONS.

Extensive Ope rations.
Louisville Courier-Journal A ompany
Is being formed in Louisville to handle
mussel shells. 1t is a move venture, but
the prospects are encouraging for success.
The Will gather the shells by
machinery and then convert them into
pearl buttons and ornaments. There is a
value attached to the shells not gener-
ally appreciated, and 1t is this value that
the company proposes to utilize. The
Commercial club is aiding in the organ
ization of the company.
1t has been a~sccrtalned that millions Of
the mussels shells are banked in the Ohio
river. The demand throughout the coun-
try has steadily grown greater. the shells
being used for the manufacture of pearl
buttons, knife handles and nament It
is an easy task to gather the shells.
The company intends to handle tho
shells on a gigantic scale. Not only will
the shells be converted into articles Of
value. but the meat and refuse portion
of the shell will be made into fertilizer.
Many boys make from 50 to 81 a day
gathering the mussel shells. which they
drop into pots of boiling water. The hot
water causes the bivalves to open; the
meat is thrown away, leaving the shells
clean and ready to sell. The demand is
far greater than the supply, and SO tho
promoters of the local believe
they have provided an excellent invest
ment. They will handle. all the shells
collected in. Kentucky streams. a shell
not lnfreQuently contains a real pearl, and
hence another source Of revenue.

In many localities farmers make a bust

little preparation of tn. soil is necessary;
shallow blowing and a thorough har-
