FAME AND TOBACCO.

To some men tobacco is so much fuel which stimulates their wits and seems to enable them to run their mental ma chinery at better speed than they can get without it. Others, by devoting a large part of their strength to the con- sumption of tobacco, are able to get along with very little other outlet for their energies. It is the busy mans stimuIant and he lazy mans helper.
 Some great modern workers Of su- premely active minds-as Gladstone, Charles 4. Dana and Roosevelt-have not been smokers. Others have. Bis marck was a constant smoker. General Grant smoked all the time when his mind was most occupied. De Mitte, the famous Russian minister of finance, has been described as smoking ciga- rettes necessarily over his work. Most artists smoke; tobacco seems to stimu- late the imagination. Most writers smoke, though Mir. Howells doesn't, and Dr. Holmes finally abjured tobacco and denounced it as thief of time. Tennyson's clay pipes and Kipling's briar tell of the tie between tobacco. and poetry. Stevenson's cigarette may have shortened his life, but it was a frail life at best. .
 Among the financiers there is that proligious worker MT Morgan, an ear nest consumer of long black cigars much vaunted in the newspapers. How about Mr., Hartman, George Gould, MT. Cassatt, Mir. Belmont? We guess they all smoke a good deal-all they dare-
 and somehow we guess MT. Rockefeller doesn't and never did. He doesn't have to, and probably nowadays tobacco would disagree with him. In the Wall street district there is pretty large and steady consumption of pretty good cigars. The tension is high. there. Nerves need steadying, and there is no part of the country, not even in Park Row, where imaginations are more ac- tive.-Harper's Weekly. Z

4 MOVEMENT FOR IwpnoYrurn7

Some of the good people of England are alarmed about the physical decay of their fellow countrymen. The rural population. is Hooking to the cities. and the city population, it is alleged, is be- coming a slum population, with bad re- suits to their physique and morals. The poor quality of recruits for the army is much spoken of, and there are many other signs of the extinction of the 'yeo- men, once the backbone of England's military power. Something ought to be done about it, and something is going to be. According to Sir Lauder Brun- ton, who is leader in the new move ment, the National League for Physical Education will work on twofold line.
 It will endeavor to co-ordinate the va rious agencies which are at present acting independently of each other for the advancement of physical training. Further, it will seek to supply the in- formation and assistance needed to complete this work, Reforms are sug- gested along various lines. Every hour of study in school, Sir Lauder Brunton argues, might we'll be shortened to forty-fve minutes. This. is the rule in

ABOUT DRESS.

White mohair is rapidly gaining a
high place. 1t washes as we'll as linen
and has the advantage Of wearing for
two Or three seasons. 1t will be used
for formal gowns as much as the thin
white fabrics, but 1T serves for In
formal wear at the theater and in ones

therefore, house gowns are among
the most necessary ones to a woman's
wardrobe at this day, for she uses
them steadily whether or not she goes
out In society as a frequent thing.
All women want to wear light gowns
In the house in the evening for two
reasons. First, it saves all street
gowns; secondly. it gives a touch OF
gayety and comfort to ones position
as a hostess or as mistress of an es-
adjustment. There never was a time
When men did not prefer light, fluffy
things to dark ones in the house, and
the women of the day dress for men
after the lights are lit. So house
gowns are necessary, not only to tie,
fashlonable women, but they are want
ed and are worn by every one except
those who are too careless to care any
thing about dress.
The day was when a dark skirt and
light fancy blouse were sufficient at
tire for informal evening wear, but the
verdict against this has been steadily
adhered to for the last few years, and
it is rare that women of any position
in social life use this combination for
the house, just as they do not use it
for the street when visiting.
They have a whole suit of something.
even though 1t is only 20-cent cotton
Grape.
OF course, a house gown can be as
gorgeous as an evening gown, and
many of them are. The most superb
materials and handiwork are put into
them for women who pay for it, but
the simplest suit of white Paris muslin,
with a smart colored girdle, is just as
dainty and equally fashionable as a
pale blue velvet trimmed with point
lace.
1t is simply a question of means,
not of fitness.
The woman who constantly wears
these little blouse suits in the house
shows that she is keeping up with the
trend of fashion. She is not proposing
to lead it or to be conspicuous In it's
ranks, she merely shows that she is
in the fashion.

Mole brown is one Uf the newest
shades in which the tailors are making
their smartest walking suits, both for
mountains and country resorts; for
the early autumn days are by far the
most enjoyable for those who can af-

walk.

is quite wide at back. is of deep colored
