Dyspepsia and Divorce.

Bad cookery and sloyenly housekeep-
ing were the direct causes OF 400 d.
vorces in the city Of Chicago last year.
This statement by the head of the Chi
cago bureau of charities furnishes ey-
cry housewife in the land with SUD-
iect for serious reflection.
During 1902, 1t appears, 400 deserted
wives who applied at the bureau or
charities for assistance and later OBJ
tanned divorces admitted that they
could neither cook nor keep house"
and of course they could not expect to
keep husbands.
If this unfortunate condition OF az
fairs is paralleled elsewhere, sociolo-
gists will have to wrestle with the
knotty problem Of how a young man
before proposing matrimony may gauge
accurately a young woman's knowl-
edge of domestic science, says Robert
Webster Jones In Housekeeper. Shall
he seek the advice Of some noted au-

A New STYLE Preacher.

The pastor of a Presbyterian churcn
in San Jose believes in filling his
church. In the San Jose papers once
or twice a week he inserts little no
tice something like the following, which
has just appeared:
Found Asleep.-so you slept In church
yesterday, did you? Well. 1t was rather a
drowsy day. but II you had been at the
Second Presbyterian church you wouldn
have dozed. The pastor preached two
earnest, enthusiastic sermons. and the
music was alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hill

the chorus choir rendered two anthems
The congregation was nearly as large as
the church Itself. An old timer there
looked around and remarked to by

but the last few weeks l don't seem to
know more than half of them"

Tall Buildings and Nerves.

The result of carelessness In running
elevators Is plainly shown In the fol-
lowing item from Good Health: There
is no need Of those sudden stops OF a
flying elevator, and.it effect upon peo'
pie with any sort Of heart trouble Is
dangerous In the extreme. When II
comes to facilities for increasing the
army Of nervous people, it is mistake
to give the palm to the electric trolley
car, the automobile or thefS eyated
trains. The tall sky scraper ~uilding
of the big cities is a close competitor
of all these in the manufacture OF
nervous wrecks. Not one woman III
hundred can step into swift flying
elevator and be "shot" up to the tenth
story Of a scraper without feeling or
"goneness" in the region of the heart.
which, In the case of many delicately
organized women, approaches very
closely to nervous collapse. 1t must
not be imagined either that the shoot
ing up and down in these steel cages
day after day has no effect upon the
nerves of men. They become accus-
toned to the sensation Of being drop
ped from the fifteenth story to the
basement. The heart action is proof
against its wear and tear, but their
nerves are not. There is a gradual,
unconscious breaking down OF the
nervous system.

A FILIPINO BELLE.
How She Appears When Fully At
tired For the Ballroom.

tired For the ballroom.
In describing the costume of Fill
pino belle one begins naturally AT the
slippered feet and works toward the
diamond decked hair. The first thing
is the media, or long stocking, usually
of silk and often beautifully embroid'
cred about the foot and ankle, the en-
broidery being plainly seen because OF
the low topped, heelless chinelas, or
slippers, usually worn, which are also
often beautifully embroidered on the
top. Then comes the vestida, the long
train dress, fastened by band at the
waist and usually allowed to trail AT
the left side. When caught up out OF
the way, it is passed across the front
of the body and fastened to the belt on
the right side. This yestida Is made OF
silk, satin or velvet, very rich. and as
the Spanish taste for red, yellow and
black is shared by the Filipino the
floor of a ballroom while bale Is In
progress Is more or less OF a poem IN
those colors, with occasional hints OF
blue and green. Usually these ball and
dinner vestidas are elegantly and ex-
pensiyely hand embroidered In SILK, as
much as $500 to $1,000 being often the
cost Of a single dress skirt.
The next garment is the camiseta,
which performs the function OF tn
American shirt waist. 1t surrounds
the underclothing that infolds the up
per portion of the body, having low
neck. but not cut decollete-no Filipino
woman would wear a decollete dress
and has very wide. short sleeves. lt
IL made of the beautiful thin pima
cloth. manufactured from the fiber OF
the pineapple leaf, and Is practically
TRANSPARENT. The cloth Is suff1clently
stiff to cause the large sleeves TO STAND
out from the arms and shoulders and
not cling to them, as silk and cotton
goods will do, and is therefore much
more suited to the warm climate OK
the Philippines. This camiseta Is also
usually embroidered expensiyely, some
times in white and sometimes In dell
cate tints
The coalla, or collai, is also made OF
the thin. stiff and expensiyely embrold-
cred pima cloth. 1t is about the size or
the small opera shawl worn In this
country and is folded and worn about
the shoulders and neck much In the
same way, the ends being crossed over
the bust and fastened there with q
clasp of diamonds. The hair is care
fully arranged, usually in the Spanish
style, now so popular with our own
young ladies. and all the diamonds
there is room for or wealth permits are

An Ancient Chariot.

In the recently discovered tomb or
Thothmes ~. who was king OF Egypt
between 5000 and 1000 years ago, the
chariot of that monarch was found.
The body Of 1t alone is preserved, but
In a perfect condition. The wooden
frame was first covered with papier
mache made from papyrus and this
again with stucco, which had been
carved, both inside and out into scenes
from the battles fought by the pharaoh
in Syria. The art is Of very high or
der, every detail being exquisitely I'm
ished and the faces Of the Syrians be-
ing clearly portraits taken from cap
tives at Thebes. The chariot is in fact
one Of the finest specimens Of art that
have come down from antiquity. Along
with the chariot was found the leather
gauntlet with which the king protect
ed his hand and wrist when using tho
bow or reins.

nenth of santiago,s Filth.

When General Leonard Wood under
took to clean the filthy streets OF San
tiago he was besieged by American
road builders. They wanted to sell him
street sweepers, sprinkling carts, as
phalt pavements cedar blocks, brick
and crushed stc,le. Contractors want
ed the job of lowering the streets so
as to bring all the residences above
grade. But the general would consent
to no suggestion until the filth had
been removed.
At the end Of two months the con-
tractors who wanted to lower the
grade were informed that
"At our last conference the resi-
dences were below grade. The tilth
has been removed, and the houses COW
stand above grade."-Exchange.

Shall the strong lawyers only look

our cities can have if necessary the
services of the very best surgeon or
oculist or aurist or lung specialist. All

clinics and the best medical and sur
gical skill is at his command free. Can

REFERRED TO COUNSEL.
Question Regarding the Establishment
of New Police Precinct.

Major Sylvester has submitted to the
Commissioners a question of law that he
asked to have settled by the corporation
counsel. He is anxious to establish a new
precinct In Anacostia to cover the several
suburban villages in that section and the
county east of the Eastern branch. AS the
law now stands provision Is made for ony
ten precincts. and Major Sylvester is not
certain If there would be any legal obsta-
Gle in the way of forming another with
out being so authorized by an act of Con-
gress. If the attorney decides that he can
establish such precinct without becoming
involved in legal trouble he will recommend
the promotion Of a sergeant to be an act
Ing lieutenant and place him In charge.
The change will be made at the beginning
of the next fiscal year. A civil service ex-
animation OF the sergeants was held several
weeks ago In order to determine who IS best

the corporation counsel be favorable the
police will probably take the census OF
Anacostia and the other section of the pro-
posed precinct. Major Sylvester Is anxious
TO do something for the better protection
or the residents of the part of the District
mentioned. and will make a move I'm that
direction even IL the decision regarding the
creation OF precinct is against him.

r1r. Berry's Error.
The well-known stove deal
err made a mistake which
Is common i'm Washing
ton.
It's common mistake to imagine
that backache is form of rheuma-
tism, and to treat it accordingly, with
plaster and liniments. The error is
often made. Backache is kidney
ache. Back pains are the protests
of bad kidneys. Kidney aches lead
to serious ills. Cure it while it is
in the elementary stage. Here's the
statement of well-known Washing
ton business man who found the
cure.
W. o. Berry, stove dealer, Of 503 9th st. NV,
residing at 481 9Th st. sw., says: II have used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they gave me relief from
my rheumatism from which / suffered greatly. /

back, sometimes 80 severe 1t would make me al
