to the English shocking at present
so fashionable. Some frocks for the
smallest fry of both sexes, lately i'm

by this deft honey-combing, which
looks impossible to the uninitiated, but
is a simple matter to the knowing.
Forming body yokes, belts and cuffs,

wish to see.
Silk and wool bodices, so manIpu-

clared to be eccentric in the extreme
The usual hockey get-up in this coun-

counted for by the fact that French
women have the most beautiful legs in
the world.
A wool sweater represents, with its
comfortable fit and durable texture,
the very basis of the athletic ward

BUSINESS rs FATAL.
Tact and "A Calm, Easy Manner Are
the First Essentials of Really
Good Manners.

Etiquette is not mere code of formal
useless rules; it comprises the whole
range of good manners, and consequent
ly good breeding, tact, politeness and
charm. We begin to learn etiquette
when we are told to eat with a fork in
preference to knife, or our fingers;
to sit with our feet under the table, in
stead of on it.
Many persons have an idea that per.
feet manners, and knowledge of how
to act under all circumstances, is born
in those called upon to move in good So
ciety, and that it is snobbish to try am;
obtain it through books. Than this
there can be no greater mistake. The
children of the most cultured must SUBJ
nit to long education in etiquette.
Much, of course, comes to them almost
as naturally as speech, through the
knowledge their children possess; but
then the parents must have knowledge
in the first place. 1t is the perfect ac-
quaintance 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 more than naturally
clever child can get on without any
teaching whatever. But one thing Is
certain-itis 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 situation in
an instant, and is at once 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, 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.

ITALIAN KING AN AUTHOR.
Victor Emmanuel Has written .
Book, But for state Reasons 1t Has
Not Been Published.

1t is not generally known that Vic
tor Emmanuel, king of Italy, is in
clined toward literature, but it is new
ertheless a fact He has written a
book, but for reasons satisfactory to
himself and his ministers it has not
been given publicity, says London
report.
Those who think the early life of
a lad destined for kingly honors is a
pathway of roses would be undeceiyed
if them knew the training Victor En-
manuel had to undergo in his youth.
Col Oslo, his preceptor, used to
make the future Victor Emmanuel III.
begin his work at six, taking for all
nourishment bath and cup of bouil-
lon If he were late he went, says M.
Muret, without the bouillon, but not
without the cold bath. This Spartan
regime produced constant colds in the
head, of which his master insisted on
his pupils taking no notice, for the
eminently practical, if remote, reason
that if Italy we're TO be invaded it
would never do for the heir TO the
throne to be found doctoring cold in
the head. Then he was made to learn
English, French and German until he
could speak all three as well as his ma
tive tongue. Latin-which, to make his
task lighter, Queen Margherita learned
along with him-and mathematics, in
which he showed great capacity but,
oddly enough, no Greek. This, with
a daily riding lesson and the prepara-
ton necessary for his examinations in
the different grades of the army
through which he passed, took up all
his time, and left him little leisure for
the gentler arts. Yet he read some
poetry and admires Dante, though not
M. Muret, being a lack of imagination.
After youth so spent it would be odd
if he had any.
After all, however, the best educa-
ton, whether for king or commoner, is
travel, and of this the then prince Of
Naples had his full share. After his
grand tour" which nowadays in
cludes both the near and the far east,
he produced the usual globe trotter's
diary, in which he pointedly refused
to say anything about the present state
of Merry and Samarcand, because, he
said, if he described them as they were
it would be offensive to some of Italy's
allies, while if he described them as
they were not, 1t would be offensive
to his own respect for the truth. Per-
haps it was for this reason that the
book was never published.

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Keeping Them i'm Water Glass Is an
Effective Method for the Aver
age Housekeeper.

Now and then 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 if it keeps" them
In a 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. If but
a few pounds are needed the price is
about 25 cents a pound. But as it is to
be diluted nine times it's bulk with cold
water. and one pound will cover about
$50 eggs, the cost is not so great The
eggs must be perfectly fresh, not store
eggs, then stored in 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 theory of preserving eggs in any
solution is to keep the contents of the egg
from evaporating 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 if it be harmless itself is
good preservative. Some of the sub
stances used are too expensive even if
efficient: water glass is both effective
and inexpensive.

FALSELY MARKED IMPORTS.
Many Queer Substitutes Found in the
CargOes of Goods Shipped
to England.

The false marking of goods imported
to London is mildly termed "er-
ratio" by the principal chemist of the
government laboratory in his annual
report to the treasury. He says that
the descriptions of imports in the mer-
chants entries often 'Egive no clew
whatever to the real nature of the
goods" says London report
For example, crushed bones were en-
tered as stsemolina," formaldehyde as
facetic acid" fruit juice as "tinned
fish," gingerbread as paints" peas as
cabbage seeds" and bulbs" sodium
peroxide as fancy goods varnish as
iron goods" while machinery and
"razor strops" turned out to be tobacco
fumigating powder and sugar-coated
pills, respectively.
During the year ended March 81 last
81, 642 analyses and tests were made in
the customs branches and $3.50 in the
excise branch of the laboratory. A
sample of a substitute for hops was
found to contain 35 grains of oxide of
anthony per pound. An inquiry was
instituted, and it was elected that a
Midland chemist, by whom the mixture
was prepared, used large quantity Of
oxide of antimony in making "horse
powders" and that this material had
somehow found it's way into the hop
substitute.
The principal chemist gives the
amounts of tobacco cleared for home
consumption in the years ending
March 81 from 1841 to 1903 In the
former years, when the population
numbered 26,700,000, there was con-
sumed over 10,310 tons, or thirteen and
three-quarters ounces per head in
1903, with a population of 42,2S7, 900.
the consumption was nearly 1929
tons, or II pounds 145s ounces per
head.
During the year 256 samples of but
ter were examined. Boric acid pre-
sentative was present in SO per cent. of
the samples from Australia and Bel
GUM, sc per cent of the French sam
pies, 78 per cent. of those from New
Zealand, II per cent of the South
American samples. 45 per cent. of
those from Holland, and 43 per cent.
of those from the United States. Six
teen per cent. of the Canadian SAM
pies contained this preservative, and
of the other samples only one per cent.
of the Danish and Russian samples.
two per cent. of the Norwegian. and
ten per cent of the German samples
contained it.

TO REMOVE A RING.
A Needle Flat in the Eye and a Bit of
Thread Will Do 1t in Few
Seconds.

Most girls have had trouble in remov-
ing rings from their fingers. There is
really no necessity for all this ado about
removing tight ring" said a jeweler
"In that, as in everything else, the secret
of success lies in knowing how to do it,
Here is recipe that I have found I'M
falling for removing tight ring, and
there is no painful surgical operation
involved, either. Thread 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 the needle before begin
ming. The needle. having been passed
through, pull the thread through 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 IL
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
so. The thread, thus pressing against
the ring, will gradually remove it, how
ever tight or swollen the finger"

HEROINE OF THE JUNGLE.
American Woman Shot the Biggest
Tiger Ever Killed In the
WiIds of India.

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
C. Bonnet, daughter of John H. White
house, of The Larches, Irvington-on-
Hudson. Mrs. Donnet went to India
some time ago with her husband, who
is an officer in the British army, and
her surprised and delighted parents
have just received from her letter
which shows that their delicately 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
did it all myself and it was such a
difficult shot. | am a sort of big bug
in camp now The natives bow down
and kiss the hem of my dress, for
am the first lady who has ever shot
in these jungles. All, | am a lucky
beggar. So just listen while tell you
about it:
eve heard a tiger had killed lot
of deer in a piece of bamboo jungle
about six miles off, so I got about
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 was
going full bat, SO | saw it was a case
of then or never, and although it was
a very blind shot let blaze at the
vanishing stripes as they flashed
through the bamboos.
"A roar ana rush COld me the mon
ster was hit, but I could see nothing,
as the jungle was so dense. When the
shikar came up I told him where
I had fired and got down and with
loaded rifles we approached the spot
where, about ten yards from where
fired, lay the very finest monster
ever saw and his great striped body
did indeed look like slain king of the
forest. The shikar and I all but
Rugged in our excitement The mon
ster was 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 it's
prime, and oh. SO beautifully black
and yellow.
81 had already shot three bears, two
panthers and tiger, besides all sorts
Of deer and other smaller beasts, and
when saw that monster lying there
slain by my own hands it was the
proudest and happiest moment of my
life and I shall never get over the
feeling of exultation."

At Cherry Point, Northumberland
county, Va, is the grave of Izatis An
derson. who died August IL, 1923, age
"a years months and II days. His
epitaph states that: He was worthy
and estimable man, kind neighbor, a
faithful friend and a good citizen. In
other relations of life he might have
been equally praiseworthy, but he died
a bachelor, having never experienced the
comfort of being husband and father
This situation he found so comfortless
that in his last will he directed this stone
to be placed over his remains, with an in
scription warning all young men from
initiating an example of celibacy, which
yielded no other eventful fruits but dis
appointment and remorse. Inscribed at
his request by his friends"

Power of Gentleness.

No bad man is ever brought to re-
pentance by angry words, by bitter,
scornful reproaches. He fortifies him
self against reproof and hurls back
foul charges in the face of his accuser.
Yet. guilty and hardened as he seems,
he has a heart, and may be melted to
tears by a gentle voice. Who, there
fore. can restrain his disposition to
blame and find fault, and can bring
himself down to a fallen brother will
soon find way to better feelings
within. Pity and patience are the two
KEYS which will unlock the human
heart. They who have been most sue
cessful laborers among the poor and
vicious have been the most forbearing.
