HAS HAD MANY ADVENTURES.

Few women in the world have had
a more adventurous experience than
Baroness Won Leyden, a native Amer
lean welded to a distinguished for
eign nobleman. AS a child she helped
an aged man who had fallen in the
street and he left her a fortune. Then
she lost herself in a Hungarian forest
and was found by the German baron
who married her. Next she was cap
tured in crater by italian brigands,
but was rescued by carabinieri and
rewarded for delaying her captors.
Then she lost her way in China and
found the jeweled eye of a Buddha,
which she returned to its owners, to
be again rewarded.
Later on she was attacked by a mad
dog, but the brute fastened his teeth
in an ivory bracelet and she remained
unhurt. Yet again she was captured
by brigands in Macedonia, but was re-
leased and sent on a secret mission by
the band. Her latest adventure in
wolves the Car. He was shooting
somewhere when the baroness provi-
dentially got within range and the re-
suit is an imperial gift as solace for a
scratch on the shoulder. The woman,
it is almost needless to say, is an
American.

AS rule, says the Chicago Chronicle
when woman gets married she tries
to pluck from her remembrance all
thoughts of those who once paid court
to her. Yet she can have a kindly
feeling for them without in the slight
est degree being untrue to the man who
finally won her
Il love my old beauX," says the wom-
an who is bound to be cheerful. They
comfort me and make me forget I'M
pleasantness. An old beau is very nice
if he's at all presentable. My hus-
band says hateful things, to the effect
that I'm ruinously eXtravagant, always
wanting things and he intimates that
only an angel of his own magnitude
could manage to get along with me at
all. Not so my old beaux. They say
he's the luckiest of men and intimate
that they would have been better men
had Providence been thus kind to
them. Even the married ones aren't
so bad. When their wives sue for di-
vorce or their babies get the measles
they look volumes which seem to say
that all would have been different had
not an undeserving one borne off the
prize. These unsolicited testimonials
are as stimulating to me as old wine
IL isn't the slightest use to repeat them
to my husband, however. He simply
reminds me that women are so easy
that they're tiresome and that those
nincompoons' don't have to pay the
hills -

amusing instance of a lost opportunity
occurred in London a couple of sea-
sons ago An American family who
had never been in the least smart
were bitten, as the saying is, by the
society bee, and began their campaign
by a season in London. The great
thing they decided was to make no
mistakes and they began very warily,
making no acquaintance that they did
not deem desirable, and keeping them
selves carefully aloof from those of
their own countryfolk who had not
obtained a footing in the London fash
ionable world. One day, however, to
their CONSERVATION, the head of the
family received a letter from an old
friend and important business connec-
ton living in one of the Western states
announcing that his daughter was on
her way to Europe and asking if she
might spend a month in London under
their charge. But it is impossiblen

the SON. Mr.. A was sorely puzzled.
He, too, had been attracted by the
ignus fatuus of social light on their
horizon, and it did seem hard on his
wife and daughters that they should
be saddled with an unknown Yves tern
girl for the season, when it was so
hard for themselves. The rereading of
his friends letter. however, offered a

No white Race Horses.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo
crat.

From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
"Why is it that you never see a
white race horse?" asked a man who
takes much interest in unusual things.
Ibid you ever see a pure white race
horse? L venture the assertion that
you never did in all your experience
in running around over the country.
No doubt you have seen an iron gray
horse now and then, or a nea-bitten
gray, but you have never seen white
horse among the thoroughbreds of your
time. Mind you, / am not saying that
there is no such thing as a white race
horse. ] am simply commenting upon
n fact which l have observed a fact
which may have been noticed by 9TH
ers. 1 have seen a gray horse now and
then. A few years ago 1 remember to
have made a small bet on a horse
named Boaz, a sort of flea bitten gray,
owned by a woman, who, by the way,
was not red-headed. But during my
experience around race tracks, which
is not as broad as the experience of
others, the pure white horse, or any
thing approaching it nearer than the
gray, has been conspicuously absent,
and l have often wondered why OF
course, there must be some good deep
fact. Bay horses, sorrel horses and
black horses are common enough at the
various race courses of the country,
and they are in all shades so far as
these colors are concerned. Occasion
ally one may find a horse bordering on
the clay bank in color, horses with
blaze faces, or with white hind or fore
feet, or sometimes having other distin-
gushing color marks. But where is
the white horse? He is not at the race
track where running races are on the
card, and they are very scarce ON trot-
ting and pacing tracks. 1 have never
mentioned the curious fact to men who
are experts when it comes to b1ooded
horses. but I intend to do so, and the
very first well-posted race horse man
I meet l will ask him why it is that
there are no white race horses. and
the reasons therefore. There must be
some relation between color and
speed"

hotels, at the theaters and in the shops
do a lot of primping in public. Pow
der rags, eyebrow pencils, rouge
brushes are Haunted openly, and wom-
an does not hesitate to put some finish
ing touches to her toilet wherever she
happens to be. These finishing
touches, by the way, seem to be need
ed every hour or so.
Il have travelled good deal" re-
marked a middle-aged New York wom-
an, land l am sure that in no other
part of the world do women keep face
powder in such constant commission as
right here in New York. And yet the
American woman doesn't begin to make
up so much as many women of other
countries"
Meanwhile the managers of the big
department stores, of the important
restaurants and hotels, of the theaters,
of the banks and of the railroad sta
tions are catering In the most abject
way to the faminine desire to look her
best under all Circums tances by fitting
up dressing-rooms entirely for women's
use. This shows that the habit of max
ing a toilet in public places is not con-
fined to any one class, that the grande
dame of Fifth avenue is just as much
addicted to 1t as women in humber
stations. When it comes to a touch of
powder, in fact, the whole faminine
world is kin.
The way it is applied, though. differs
greatly, she of Fifth avenue not hest
tating to produce the charmed bit of
chamos or velcet in public parlors or
conveyances and daub, the end of her
nose with 1t, whereas one less sop
histicated generally makes use of a
dressing-room, where she shall be out
of range of the masculine eyes at
least.
The other day one woman who was
calling on another stopping at a Fifth
avenue hotel walked in the interval
of waiting over to the mirror, critically
surveyed her face then whisked out a
tiny square of chamois, made two or
three light dabs at her nose restored
the channels to it's place and then sat
down again serenely just as her friend
entered the room.
At one side of the women's entrance
to a Fifth avenue restaurant is a dress
ing-room placed solely at the disposal
of women. Not only does it contain
stationary mirrors and cheval glasses,
fresh towels, combs and brushes. but
there are also several boxes of the best
face powder always on hand and al
ways in demand.
Similar conveniences-and, by the
way they include a maid in attendance
are to be had at all best hotels and
restaurants. In several of the banks
most patDoni2ed Thy women a neat
little room is partitioned off expressly
for their use.
1t NAV be that all of these conven-
fences are the, outcome OF the fact that
at certain seasons of the year the
average New York woman's daily
schedule does not include a visit to her
own house between the time she starts
out in the morning, which is usually
about 10 o'clock, until her return at
6 30, or 1t may be- on the other hand,
that the up-to-date schedule came into
fashion because of them. There is not
the least doubt, however, that because
of their aid the daily itinerary Of most
women is nothing If not varied, and
that they can accomplish twice as much
now as would have been possible in the
old days.

CLOSE FITTING GOWNS.

Neither the too slim nor the too plump

gown, says the New York Times. With
soft folds and dropping puffs, one is

as though their arms and bodies were

BUYING HER OWN
WEDDING RING.

She was young and good looking,
says the New York Press, and she
blushed as she held her hand across
the counter and laid it beside the
clerks.
II want to buy a ring" she said.
The clerk took from the show case a
tray of rings set with cheap stones and
held one of them up for inspection. She
did not like it.
"oh. not that kind" she said. 81

"Plain?" he asked.
YES. Plain and rather broad and
heavy"
The clerk looked wise. "Ah, I see,"
said he. "A wedding ring. Want an
inscription" he asked when she had
found one that suited as to size and
price.
Yes" Then she gave instructions
for the engraving.
What queer wrinkle" said the vis-
istor when the girl had gone out. Are
there many brides who buy their own
wedding rings?"
Lots of them" was the reply, "es-

the essentials of courtship, 1t is true,
and have no trouble in getting engaged,

minor details They leave those things

many fatal sickness begins with a cold
If we could tell the common cold from
the uncommon we could feel quite safe
But we can't. The uncommon variety is
rarely recognized until it has fastened its
hold on the lungs, and there are synp-
toms of consumption.
Commonly the first symptom of a
vcold " is a chilly feeling, accompanied
by sneezing or a tickling in the throat
The most frequent of external causes are
draughts, wet or cold feet, or going from
hot rooms suddenly into cold ones
More frequently there is an inner cause
the stagnation of blood caused by con-
stipation or biliousness. Almost the first
symptom is the feeling of cold in the
feet and increased discharge from the
nose, followed by bronchitis, grip, or
even by consumption.
COMMON SENSE MEDICATION.
No one ever takes cold unless con-
stipated, or exhausted, and having what
we call mal-nutrition, which is attended
with impoverished blood and exhaustion
of nerve force. However there is no
great danger in cold unless it is neg
lected. OF course when the blood is in
this stagnant condition the germs of
grip, catarrh, consumption, malaria or
any other disease find a fertile field in
which to take root and grow At the
first symptoms the careful person will
heed the warning by taking a mild laxa-
tive; some vegetable pill that will not
disturb the system or cause gripping
About the handiest and best thing is
vDr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets" little
sugar coated granules, which come in
walls and are perfectly harmless to the
system. If the cold starts with a cough,
and it persists then some local treatment
for this condition should be taken A
we'll known Alternative extract which has
been on the market for a great many
years, and which has been highly recon-
mended by thousands of users, is Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This tonic compound is composed of an
extract of roots and herbs and has a
soothing effect upon the mucous men,
brane, allays the irritation and at the
same time works in the proper and rea-
sonable way, at the seat of the trouble

ARE WE THE CHILDREN OF NArURE2
Who can but admire the beautiful
things in nature-the glory of the land
scape, the trees, the meadows, the beauty
of the sea and heaven When we can
admire we know that we are children Of
nature The earth has nourished us
through unknown ages of human exist
ence. mystical bond of sympathy
connects us with the earth. Is it not
true that the earth supplies us with
everything that we really require for
existence? We can live on vegetables
and fruit which the earth produces. We
would probably be better off to-day as a
race without meat. Have you ever
thought that it is probable that the earth
supplied us with the means to keep our
bodily vigor, our health, if we only knew
it? The animals know by instinct what
is good for them and will search until
they find in some plant what they need
for correcting indigestion or constipa-
ton, etc. Is it therefore not probable
that there are roots and herbs supplied
by nature which will cure the diseases
that aflict human kind? That is why we
have such faith in Dr. Pierce's Golden
