Manners of Business Women.

A recent contributor to the Independ-

manners of the average business wom-
an. She realizes the value Of time, this
writer thinks; she is prompt in her ap-
pointments. self possessed and digni-
fed in her behavior and does not ex-

just because she is woman. "Wom-

"what men long ago found out-that
propriety which Is based on the recog-
milton of mutual rights is much finer
thing and the product of a higher de-
gree Of civilization than the courtesy
(which is based on privilege. The for
rIier bad manners of women in business
in public generally proceeded, like the
gaucherie of the countryman In the
city, from ignorance Of the forms and
usages of the new environment rather
than from any intention of being rude
or selfish. AS women gain self-knowl-
edge they lose in self-consciousness,
which is the root of all bad manners.

At one of his first clinics in New
York City DR.. Lorenz remarked apol.
Ogetically:
81 am sorry that this has to be done
in SO much haste. If had the time
should like to give up two hours to
this operation. But you know every
thing is rush in New York"
On Friday, at n clinic in the operat-
ing room of the Bellevue Medical Col
lege before an audience of fully 400
persons, the famous Austrian surgeon
showed that he can easily set the pace.
even in this city of haste, by reducing
a double hip dislocation in one minute
and twenty-five seconds. This was
done not to illustrate the facility with
which in certain cases the bloodless
surgery may be performed, but sim
ply in the course Of professional busi-
ness.
To illustrate the difference between
the old method and the new, DR..
Lorenz remarked that he had per-
formed 260 similar operations by cut
ting, but had abandoned that system
three years ago, and since that time
has performed upward Of 1000 opera
tions by his present method. When,
as in the case mentioned, the brief
space of time required for an operation
that restores to child the natural use
Of its limbs is considered, it is not
strange that the skilful surgeon is re.
garded as almost wonder worker,
and that praise and thanks enough to
turn the head Of an ordinary man are
showered upon him.
DR.. Lorenz deserves the praise which
Is now his in generous measure all the
more because Of the modesty of Its re.
cipient and his freedom from petty am
bition, which leads him to give freely
to his fellow professional workers as
well as to suffering humanity the bene-
fits Of his skill and method.-New York

The best pictures should adorn the
walls Of the nursery during the baby
days of child. so that he may become
familiar with them.
Beautiful pictures are an education,

ored pictures cut from newspapers and
magazines.
The walls of nursery should be COW
cred with paper of subdued shade
gray or green, or. If preferred, dull
blue or pink with tiny floral pattern.
Such paper forms very good back
ground for pictures, and the copy need
only be mounted on gray cardboard or
placed in narrow oak frame.
Hang your pictures where the chill
dren can see them without the aid of a
chair, and be sure to place them in the
best possible light
AS the child's age increases other
pictures may be introduced, so that by
the time he has outgrown his nursery
days he will have learned to appreciate
many of the greatest works Of art

Successful Tests OF New Invention Re-
ported.

Successful Tests OF New Invention Re-
ported.
Experts in military affairs, not only
will no doubt watch with much interest
the further tests of the bullet-proof
textile fabric invented by Casimir Zeg-
lin, which was experimental upon at
the Ninth Regiment Armory in this
city the other day. Shots were fired
from revOlvers of various calibres at
from five to eight yards from the cloth.
and not one of the bullets went entirely
through the cloth. The first official
test of the Zeglin cloth was made at
Fort Sheridan on August II, when
a Krag- -Jorgenson rifle was used. The
test was declared by the official board
to be successful, the cloth having full
filled all the claims of the inventor.
There have been several inventions
of bullet-proof cloth in the past few
years, the most notable ones being
the inventions of Hiram Il. Maxim.
the inventor of the Maxim gun, and
Herr DOVE, tailor, of Mannheim.
Germany. The latter invention was
said to be valuable one, and the in
ventor refused several large offers
made to him by firms of army con-
tractors and others. One of the most
pronounced tests was made by the Rus
sian Ambassador to England, who used
a new German army rifle, selecting his
cartridges at random from a box. The
first shot was at block Of solid oak,
the shot piercing through. The next
shot was at the garment, which Herr
Dove had put on, who, after the shot,
smiled and said, II feel nothing" Sew
eral other shots were fired, the bullets
being found afterward imbedded in
the coat. Then a horse was wrapped
in some of the bullet-proof cloth, and
shots were fired in rapid succession
while the horse was eating oats in his
stall. The horse started at the first
shot, but none of the bullets pierced
the cloth. The garment worn by Herr
DOVE looked like ordinary army CLOTH
ing material, the resisting substance
being placed beneath the outside cloth.
The garment was in the nature of
breastplate, fastened to the side but
tons of the soldiers uniform, weighing
about six pounds, and intended to be
worn only in actual warfare.
Subsequently Mr.. Maxim made a
cuirass Of certain organic and inor.
ganic substances, about fourteen inches
by sixteen inches, one and one-half
inches thick and weighing about ten
pounds. The exhibition of this mate.
rial was given in England, and caused
much surprise, but when Mr.. Maxim
exposed his secret after the test, it was
looked upon more as joke than any
thing serious. However, he declared
that the test was an earnest one, and
to show that a bullet-proof garment
could be made with little trouble. His
cloth or protector consisted of a steel
shield inside of a bag, which simply
arrested the initial energy Of the bull
let and prevented any injury being
done. Since then little or nothing has
been heard of Herr Doves cloth, or
the 100000 marks said to have been
offered to him by the German Govern
ment for his invention.-New York

To Succeed Socially.


When woman has the courage to
think for herself and to be original and
honest she possesses the keynote to So
cial success. The first essential to-
ward social success is personal magne-
tism; that much coveted quality Is to
think and act for oneself. The next
essential is to be good listener. A
good listener absorbs all the best things
she hears, and casts aside the worth
less things that would be of no use to
her. To absorb the best of everything
around you and make the best Of your
self is a quality that cannot be too
highly commended.
Never copy or initiate any one else.
however much you may admire them,
for there is where you lose yourself
in another's personality. Many women
in reading book that has created
stir in literary and other circles gush
and rave about it simply because it is
popular; would it not be much better
to read book intelligently and then If
it does not interest you or you do not
like it have the courage to say so, even
If you do differ with others?
1t is in just such small matters as
the above that a woman shows she has
the courage to think for herself and
have original opinions. She then be-
comes interesting and to be interesting
Is to succeed ocially.-American Queen.

Save the Soap Bits.

In every well ordered bath room a
small wide mouthed earthern jar
should be kept. Into it should be
thrown the scraps of toilet soap that
are too small to be used In bathing,
and which should not be wasted. When
the jar is full the soap should have
pored over 1t cupful of warm water
and then two teaspoonfuls of glycer-
Inc should be placed in the jar. The
result will be jelly-like consistency
that may be used instead of cake of
soap.

To Re-Enamel q Bath.

To re-enamel bath buy proper bath
enamel. The ordinary kind will not
stand hot water. Wash the tub thor
oughly with hot, soapy water first, and
rub all over with sandpaper to make
the surface smooth before using the en-
amel. Heat the enamel slightly by
standing the tin in bowl Of hot water
before using. This thins 1t. and 1t is
easier to apply evenly. 1t will need two
or three coats, and each must be al
lowed to thoroughly dry before the
next Is applied.

Between the present rage for coral
and also for turquoise, there should
be no question of becomingness, either
to blonde or brunette, for if turquoise

blonde type Of woman, so coral is con-

cite can wear to bring out the full
beauty Of her coloring. says the Phila-
