BUSINESS IS FATAL.
Tact and a Calm, Easy Manner Ara
TIE First Essentials of Really
Y GOOD Manners.

Etiquette is not a mere code Of formal,
useless rules; 1t comprises the whole
range OF good manners, and consequent
~ good breeding, tact, apoliteness and
cnarm. We begin to learn etiquette
Wnen we are told to eat with a fork in
preference to a knife, or our fingers;
to sit with our feet under the table, in
stead Of on it.
Many persons have an idea that per.
rect manners. and a knowledge of how
10 act under all circumstances, Is bor1
IN those called upon to move in good so
ciety, and that it is snobbish to try ant
OBTAIN 1t through books. Than this
there can be no greater mistake. The
children OF the most cultured must SUBJ
NIT to a long education in etiquette.
Much, OF course, comes to them almost
as naturally as speech, through the
knowledge their children possess; but
tnen h parents must have knowledge
In the first place. It is the perfect 40.
qualntance with what Is good form, the
consciousness Of feeling perfectly at
ease IN whatever situation one may find
herself, that gives the easy air of good
breeding so full of charm, SO we'll worth
attaining. Natural tact, innate refine
ment, go far, but they do not take one
all the way, any mor than a naturally
clever child can get on without any
teaching whatever. But one thing is
certain-iti is only those who are natural
ly refined, and possess an Unborn tact,
who can ever hope to attain perfection
OF manner, for the foundation Of all good
breeding is tact.
= A tactful person grasps a situation in
an instant, and is at nee prepared to
speak and act correctly. no matter what
company she may be in. She is neither
too familiar, nor too reserved.
Next to tact, a calm. easy manner is
absolutely necessary to the attainment
Of an air Of good breeding. Fussiness is
fatal. An over-accentuated politeness
and desire to please is more to be COM
mended, certainly, than the lack Of both,
but it is almost as far removed from the
ease of good breeding.-N. Y. Weekly.

HEROINE OF THE JUNGLE.

Tiger Ever Killed in h

Few women can boast Of killing two
tigers, three bears, two panthers. and
a number OF smaller animals. This is
the record established by Mrs. James

winch shows that their d~elicately nur-
tured daughter has been teaching the
athletic British girls a few things in
the art of killing wild beasts in their
native jungle. The letter is in part
as follows:

est tiger ever shot in India, and he fell
at my first shot. He measures ten

16 men to carry him into camp and l
did it all myself and 1t was such a
difficult shot. I am q sort of big bug
in camp now. The natives bow down
and kiss the hem of my aress, for I
am the first lady who has ever shot
in these jungles. All. I am a lucky
beggar. So just listen while I tell you
about It:

of deer in q piece Of bamboo jungle

40 beaters together and took up our
position near an open space, while
the beaters went into the jungle with
drums and horns, driving six buffalo
in front Of them and making hideous
noises. After about half an hour,
when the beat was nearly up to my
tree, I saw a huge tiger. He vas
going full bat, so l saw it was a case
Of then OF never. and although it was
a very blind shot I let blaze at the
vanishing stripes as they flashed
through the bamboos.
"a roar and rush told me the mon
ster was hit. but I could see nothing,
as the jungle vas so dense. When the
shikar came up l told him where
/ mad fired and got down and with
loaded rifles we approached the spot
where, about ten yards from where l
fired, lay the very finest monster l
ever saw and his great striped body
did indeed look like a slain king of the
forest. The shikar and I all but
Rugged in our excitement. The mon
ster wal indeed glorious with his ten
feet eight inches spread out in their
full. his gums rolled up. showing his
enormous teeth and his skin in its
prime, and oh, so beautifully black
and yellow.
II had already shot three bears. two
panthers and a tiger, besides all sorts
Of deer and other smaller beasts. and
when I saw that monster lying there
slain by my own hands it was the
proudest and happiest moment of my
lfe and I shall never get over the
feeling Of exultation."

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Keeping Then I'm Water Glass IL an
Effective Method for the Aver

Now and then a housekeeper wants to
know Of some reliable way to preserve
eggs in time Of summer plenty for the
midwinter season Of scarcity, when eggs
are SO much in demand for holiday
dainties. Most methods are somewhat
uncertain, and some really affect the
taste Of the eggs even IL 1t keeps" them
In I general sense Of the word.
Those who are studying the subject Of
egg preservation otherwise than by cold
storage and in large quantities agree that
nothing is better than water glass. This
Is a solution Of silicate Of soda which has
a consistency something like oil. II but
a few pounds are needed the price is
about Is cents q pound. But as it is to
be dilnted nine times its bulk with cold
water. and one pound will owe about
$50 eggs, the cost is not so great. The
eggs must be perfectly fresh. not store
eggs. then stored in a cool, dark place,
and experience proves that wood or
earthenware is better than metal. be-
cause after a time water glass will cor
rode metal.
The tneOfy Oh preserving eBeS III any
solution is to keep the contents OF the egg
from e~vaporating through the porous
shell or to prevent air from entering
through the shell to the contents. Any
thing which completely closes the pores
of the shell II it be harmless itself Is a
good p~reservative. Some OF the sub
stances used are too expensive even II
efficient; water glass is both effective
and inexpensive.

MEXICAN sENoR1TAs.
Are I'm Their Prime from II to 20 n
t Facial Beauty, After That
Begin to Fade.

Much ma Dee0 Wr1LIeu OF the DeaUIy
Of the senoritas of Mexico. Many a
tourist goes to the southern republic
with exalted ideas of the charms Of
the high caste young women with
raven hair, soft olive compilations and
bewitching eyes. Evidently the charms
Of its matchlessly balmy climate and
the wonderful picturesQueness OF
scenes everywhere have blurred the
critical vision Of many of the writer's
when they came to dwell upon the
A large part of the Mexican young wo-
men have prominent, heavy noses.
This characteristic is more noticeable
among the people in the rural pueblos
in the valleys, says a writer in the
Chicago Chronicle.
From IA to 20 most senoritas are in
their prime 81 far as facial beauty is
concerned. From 20 to 80 the dark
pigment in their complexion develops
rapidly and nine out of ten of them
ruin the softness of their compilations
by inordinate use of the cosmetics and
face washes, which comprise a sur
prisingly large proportion of the ma
tional imports from Europe and the
United States.
There is nc denying that the eyes
Of the average Mexican girl, except in
the lowest classes, have a peculiar
mildness. The long, heavy e%yelashes
over the dark eyes give an expression
Of seriousness and pathos that n
never forgets. The hair of the senorita
is seldom fine and flossy. All the wo-
men in the peon class dock their coarse
hair sQuarely across the forehead.
while the young women OF the upper
class deck their foreheads with an in
finite lot of frizzes and INTRICATE mazes
Of finely spun curls.
A curious fact is that some of the
old families in Mexico have followed q
fashion in hair arrangement charac-
teristic of the particular family for
several generations. For instance.
there is the rich and powerful Yorba
fanily of Chihuahua. Every women
in the family for % than 100 years
has frizzed, curled and plastered her
hair after the style Grandma Yorba q
famous belle in her day and an &C
quantance of old Queen Mercedes)
adopted in the last days Of Spanish
dominion over Mexico.
The exquisite black lace mantilla
shading the eyes, the high comb and
the coral and pearl jewelry become .
senorita more than they would any
other woman in the world. Perhaps 1t
is the oddness of these graceful charms
that has won the general praise OF SO
many visitors to old Mexico. The
senorita at the opera with her coquet-
tishfan, her berosed hat and her gorge
.usly colored silken gowns looks very
but at close range only q
few of the women have the freshness,
the vigor and the clear-cut. refined ex-
pressions Of American young women OF
like station.

that he would often leave the flock to his sole care. AS soon, how

and begged his master rather to hang the Wolf, who had done ten times

TO REMOVE A N
A Needle Flat In the Eye and . BIT Of
Thread VIII Do 1t In q Few
5 Seconds.

Most girls have had trouble in remov-
ing rings from their fingers. There is
really no necessity for all this ado about
removing a tight ring" said a jeweler.
"In that, as in everything else, the secret
of success lies in knowing how to do It.
Here is a recipe that I have found un-
failing for removing a tight ring, and
there is no painful surgical operation
involved. either. Thread a needle fiat
in the eye, using a thread that is strong,
but not too coarse. Then pass the head
of the needle under the ring. Care, Of
course, must be used in this, and it would
be best to soap thu needle before begin
ming. The needle, having been passed
through, pull the thread through a few
inches toward the hand-so."
BY this time the jeweler had passed
the needle and thread under the ring on
HIS own finger and was prepared to H.
lustrate the little lecture. Wrap the
long end Of the thread around the finger
toward the nail in this manner. Then
take hold Of the short end and unwind It
The thread, thus pressing against
the ring, will gradually remove it, how.
ever tight or swollen the finger"
