DOOMED BY WOMEN.
Fair Sex Benutifyfng and Building

Fair Sex Benutifying and Building
Up an Illinois Town.
AN Illinois town is rapidly being built
up and pushed to the front by an or
ganization composed OF women. The
society is called the Woman's Improve
ment club, and it has accomplished
wonders in improving and beautifying
the town. The club has several COM
mittees, but the most important one is
the municipal committee, and this COM
mittee is busily employed In making the
town more desirable place of resi-
dence than it is.
1t is sort of vigilance committee to
observe the breakers of town laws. Its
members can cause the arrest of per-
sons violating street ordinances. The
small boy who throws banana skins
recklessly about, the man who losses
newspapers into the gutter, the woman
who filings parcel wrappings recklessly
about-a have the keen eyed and stern
minded committee to reckon with.
Street massachusetts have been pur-
chased for the town by the committee.
1t has informed itself concerning the
possibilities Of levying taxes for street
sprinkling purposes. 1t concerns itself
with keeping signboards in condition
and discusses the perishable nature of
wooden signboards and the expense of
iron ones with view to reaching some
conclusion which will not leave the
wayfarer without guideposts. 1t stud
les the park system and delves into bot
any in order to be able to suggest suit
able trees for the town parks. Alto
gether it is valuable society.

strange Uses For mirrors.

The celebrated Beau Brummel dur
ing the first years Of his exile, while
yet his fame as dandy was pre-emi-
nent, had the ceiling of his bedroom
covered with mirrors so that even while
ut rest he could study elegance and as
sumo a graceful pose. For such a pur-
pose glass ceiling is. however. not
unique, and the notorious Duchess OF
Cleveland had such another construct
ed to crafty her vanity.
For a far different reason certain
Yorkshire gentleman of the last cen
fury had his ceiling paneled with mir
rors. Ardently devoted to the sport of
cockfghting. he continued to the last
to enjoy his favorite pastime and even
when on his deathbed his room was the
scene Of many an exciting fight, which,
lying on his back, he saw reflected in
the glass overhead.

PhysioIogfcal Autogrnphs.

Every human being carries with him
from his cradle to his grave certain
physical marks which do not change
their character and by which he can
always be identified, and that without
Shade of doubt or question. These
marks are his signature. his physiolog-
ical autograph. so to speak. and this
autograph cannot be counterfeited. nor
can he disguise it or hide it away. nor
can 1t become illegible by the wear and
the mutations OF time.
This autograph consists of the deli
cate lines or corrugations with which
nature marks the insi,ts of the hands
and the soles of the feet. Ii you will
look at the balls of your fingers. you
that have very sharp eyesight, you will
observe that these dainty eurving lines
lie close together. like those that indi-
cate the borders of oceans in maps, and
that they form various clearly defined
patterns, such as arches. circles. long
curves, whors and so forth. and that
these patterns differ on the different
fingers. Wilson"

what to DO with Ola Hats.

If you want to make the best use OF
any old hats that you may have, you
should take them to the Nicobar is
lands. There you will be received
with enthusiasm, for the people who
live In these islands have quite pas
sion for them. Every one likes them.
and every one tries to get as many as
he can. On fine morning the sea
roundabout these islands may be seen
dotted with canoes In each of which
is savage, with nothing at all on but
strip of cloth round his waist and a
tall hat. and the funny part Of it is
that old hats are very much more
sought after than new ones. The Nico.
bar natives regard new hats with sus.
piciOn and dislike.

In connection with a slight affec,
ton of Mrs. Ulysses $. Grants eyes a
very pretty story is told indicative of
General Grants tender devotion TO her.
When he was president. she became
somewhat sensitive about her eyes
she suffered from strabismus-and con-
suited a specialist to see what could be
done for her. The specialist told her
he thought he could improve her eyes.
but the operation would be painful
She consulted her husband to learn
whether he would advise the operation.
Don't have it done, dear said the
general, pressing her cheeks with his
two hands. LET those dear eyes stay
just as they are. Ii they We're changed,
might not recognize my sweetheart"

Town Improvement Hints.

Every unoccupied square in the busi-
ness district should be neatly fenced
In and kept free from tin cans and ref
use. Real estate owners could bear
this slight burden.
When home talent stands ready to
establish an enterprise that will build
up the town. always encourage 1t.
In building up town there is no
pull Ike long pull. a strong pull and
a pull altogether.
The merchant who is the most liber-
al in his efforts to assist in building up
the community is the one you should
patronize.
A dollar spent at home will return to
you before many days, but IL you spend
il abroad it is forever lost, both to you
and your community.

HIS Dainty Hands, Tropical Counte-
nance and Good Digestion.

HIS Dainty Hands, TropicaI Counte-
nance and Good Digestion.
Poe's arms and hands were slender
and tapered very gracefully and gently
down to the ends OF his fingers. which
were very tender, gentlemanly and
iadylilSe. In fact, his hands were truly
remarkable for their roseate softness
and lily white. feminine delicacy. You
could have judged of his nobility by
his hands.
His face was rather oval. tapering In
It's contour rather suddenly to the chin,
which was very classical, and, espe-
cially when he smiled, really hand
some. His coQntenance was tropical In
its aspect, precisely the reverse of his
heart, which, like the fountains OF Sol
ONION. had long been kept sealed up as
something sacred from the vulgar gaze
OF the world, his face whenever he
wrote long ut ANY one time putting on
sickIy, sallow aud rather pallid hue,
but never to such an extent as tc indi-
cate indisposition. His digestion was
always good, which Is prima facie evil
dence that he was never student.
His dress was always remarkably
neat for one In his circumstances. But
/ do not believe that 1t would have
done for him to have had money. He
was ruined in his youth. His college
life In Virginia was the cause OF all
his after inebriation. That YVES the
internal whirlpool into which was driv-
en- the beautiful milk white ship Of his
soul, never TO be reclaimed. Is II not
one Of the most remarkable things IN
the world that any man OF his abilities
should have been so amenable to the
dictations OF others p Poe Chivers Pa
pers In Century.

The Wires We're Crossed.

The extent to which the agricultural
portions of the middle west are now sup
piled with modern conveniences may be
inferred from the story which follows:
There came a ring at the telephD.ie in
a farmhouse in northern Indiana one
day last summer, and the farmer him
self responded.
.Hellol" he said.
"Hellol' said the voice at the other
end of the wire. Ca, you furnish me
