WHY WE TREMB~E.
The Nerve Actions Superirluced by
Cold, Fear and Anger.

Cold. by stimulating the sensory
nerve endings in the skin. produces Il
corresponding irritation in the brain
motor centers and by contracting the
blood vessels in the skin produces a
temporary excess of blood in the brain.
This interferes With the steaGiy flow of
nerve force to the muscles. SO that the
spasmodic action of these nerve cur
rents produces the trembling due to
cold.
OF trembling from fear or anger Dar-
win gives this explanation: Men dur

PARASOL FOR DEFENSE.
London Women of the Upper Tendon
Are Learning Protection
Against Ruf1ians.

For some reason there has been q
great increase of late in what London
folk call ''hooliganism." The riotous
street demonstrations on "Mafekins
night" and in celebration Of the close
Of the Boer war, taught the stream OF
toughs who poured out from White
chapel into the West end that the re-
nowned London bobby" could not be
everywhere at once, and that with a
ratio of 20 hooligans to one bobby
quite bit of lawbreaking might be
done in more safety than had been sup
posed. .e..-. 5s.aas y. ..ssr. ,.,. ....
Since then g. number of solitary way
farers have been attacked and robbed,
and two or three have been murdered
all of which was most disconcerting to
the Independent English woman, who
has taken to going on bicycle rides into
the country by herself, and to walking
about the city streets in the daytime
without the chaperone who was con-
sidered so necessary few years ago.
Lady Jeune had her purse wrenched
from her recently by hooligan in the
fashionable Kensington district of Lon
don, and Lady Mary Sackville was
robbed of her bag and chatelaine not
long ago by a rough who struck her
and decamped. Many other attacks OF
the sort have been made on less famous
folk.
In consequence Of this state of affairs
it occurred to a young French woman,
the wife of the famous French swords
man, Pierre Vigny, to undertake the in
struction of Engllshwomen in the art OF
self-defense with parasol or walking:
stick, according to system devised by
her gallant husband who has devoted
years to it's perfection. 1t may best be
described as a mixture Of the various
different methods of self-defense, prac-
ticed in England, France, Germany and
Japan. Many of the passes, thrusts and

simple. Half a dozen threads of flo
are employed for the satin stitch which
is ingeniously adapted to the render
ing of leaves and flowers, while the
stalks and finer details are worked out
in one or two strands. One advantage
Of this work is that no frame is re-
quired while the patterns may be car
ried out in washing silk upon linen in
tended for table covers, dresser scarfs
and any of the many accessories of this
sort for table and boudoir.
An exceedingly effective example Of
this work is the table cover of which
corner is here illustrated Its grace
full ribbon-tied festoons of diminutive
blossoms, in tones of rose, soft, faint
blues and yellows with here and there
a touch of purple or orange, are charm
ingly blended with the green's of the
foliage. BY a clever arrangement Of
stitches, the characteristics of the flow
er forms are indicated, especially in
the roses, in which, touched in with
three shades of rose color, the satin
stitches are worked horizontally and
overlapping one another here and there
indicate the little >crumplings of the
folded petals. A couple Of stitches are
all that is necessary to indicate each of
the delicate green leaves in the sprays
of foliage. It is this that constitutes
one of the charms of the work that,
while by no means difficult to carry out,
it affords so much opportunity for light
ness and variety of touch. Edged with
French lace, such a cover is especially
adapted for the five o'clock tea table
with its equipment Of glistening silver
and dainty china. Another design that
may be successfully carried out on fine
white linen shows pink roses incased
within an empire frame of laurel leaves
and small purple Brooklyn
Eagle.

SHE Jokes HIM UNDER THE EAR
wards used in fencing are comprised in
1t. Some of the guards used by boxers
and movements of the leg and foot prac-
ticed by opponents of French boxing are
introduced as we'll as certain methods
peculiar to German swordsmen and pro-
fesstrs of the rapier. Numerous tricks
are borrowed from the marvellous JAP
anese system known as "Ju, Jit Su," or
weakness against strength" against
which Fitzsimmons would be as help
less as babe, and any delicate lady
who becomes proficient in the art can
rest assured that she is q match for
at least one or two roughs so long as
she retains her presence of mind and
her umbrella!
The accompanying photograph, made
for the Kansas City Star, and for which
Nine. Vigny consented to pose, gives a
better idea of the system than any de-
scriptlon could.
Miss Baden-Powell, the sister of the
famous general, impressed by her broth
er's adage that "a smile and a stout
stick will carry one through any diff
Guilty." has become proficient in self
defense with parasol and walking
cane.
The method of self-defense with an
umbrella or walking-stick does not take
long to acquire. After three months
tuition an average young girl would be
equal to almost any emergency. No
matter how we'll rough might box, he
would have no chance to get in blow,
and he would be powerless to protect
himself from terrible punishment in
the shape of thrusts or prods, and while
staggering from the effects of these he
would receive blows on the head and
face that would speedily dispose of him.
Furthermore, the pupils are taught how
to trip an adversary up and throw him
with the handle of the umbrella, and
how to throw him, Should he close.

Proper Use of the Correct

The use of the corset is to transmit
the pressure of the skirt bands to the
hips and the ribs, and so to protect
from their pressure the organs in the
region of the waist. The conclusion Is
that so long as skirt bands are fas-
tened round the waist corsets should
be worn. They should be sitter than
usually made if they are effectively to
protect the soft middle portion of the
body from the pressure of the waist
band. The front should be quite
straight, and the waist measurement
should be at least as large as the wear
er's waist, measured over single soft
garment.-Caicago Post

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL.
as the Mirrors of the Char
acter Beneath.

The most important of all physical
faculties is sight. The eyes, the win
dow of the soul, are the chief avenue Of
communication between the inner ma
ture and the external world. Therefore,
they should be carefully guarded. How
ever trying other physical disadvantages
must be, such as premature wrinkles,
badness or loss of teeth, yet, compared
with the great calamity Of failing eye
sight, they are featherweights in the
balance. Science can help us success
fully hide the loss of our hair and
teeth, and, if powerless to hide the wrin-
kles, at any rate aids us to bear them
with philosophy. But the veriest sus-
picio nof failing eyesight is quite SUI
ficient to bring terror to the bravest
soul. Our vision is as precious to US as
life itself. Our intellectual enjoyments
our outlook on Gods beautiful world
nay, in most cases, our very bread and
butter-depend on the clearness of our
eyesight. There is no possession more
coveted by women than pair of beau
tiful eyes. Yet the owner of the ugliest
or most repelling eyes imaginable is
more to be envied if she can lay claim to
better vision. The eyes which possesa
clear sight, whatever their color may
be, are verify the windows of the soul.
What instructive confidence we place in
frank, sincere gaze! We feel that
those eyes which spell goodness, and
even holiness of life in every glance,
are the faithful mirrors of the charac-
ter beneath. In the same way all the
great generals or leaders of men have
possessed in a preeminent degree the
calm magnetism of eye, sure symbol o;
the iron will of their owner. Great or
ators have swayed vast audiences quite
as much by the fairy magnetism OF the
eye as by the golden harmony of ian.

THE FUTURE OF C0REA.
Fate Of the Island Hangs Upon the
Issue of Troubles Now
Pending.

Whatever may be the result of the ne
gotiations now going on between Russia
and Japan for the peaceable settlement
of the questions which have led these
nations to the verge of war, it is certain
that the isolation of Corea is at an end,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Two
powerful peoples, representatives OF the
modern spirit-one of them only re-
Gently awakened from sleep OF CEN
turtles, and the other not yet fully
emerged from barbarism, though prob
ably the most virile and aggressive hui
man force in the world to-day-two
great modern peoples stand ready TO
fight for the territory of the last OF the
hermit nations. In the inevitable course
of events not remote, the land OF morn
ing calm must yield entrance to the In
fluence of either Russia or Japan and
awaken to take part in the busting
day. Already some thousands OF jap
anese traders have invaded the country;
a railroad connects the capital with it's
seaport, and at least one telegraph line
crosses the country. Russian officers
drill it's soldiers. Missionaries Of every
form of faith have established them
selves in it's chief cities The time 10
close at hand when Corea will be part
of civilization, though under which OF
the contending influences does not yet
appear. In the meantime, what kind OF
a country is Corea?
The Coreans are people entirely dis
tinct from the Chinese, as they are from
the Japanese. They are rather hand
some race. All who have come In con-
tact with them admit their quickness OF
perception. They acquire q foreign
language with ease and speak it better
than Mongolians of other nations are
able to do. Their own tongue is sylla-
bic, but it is written with an alphabet.
The educated class affect the use of Chi
nese-an archaic Chinese in use In the
celestial kingdom 1000 years ago,
though since the separation from China
the popular tongue has been employed
omcially. All Coreans read and write.
The nation has no religion. Confucian-
ism is the official code of morality, and
l1lSC1S III IAO AAOuASoAAAos Ou]
a benighted ghost worship prevails
among the masses.
Up to 1876 Corea successfully pre-
served her isolation. Japan in that
year wrung a treaty from her. The
United States in 1882 entered into a con-
vention with her, the various European
powers following u.s. In these treaties
the ports named above are open.
Up to 1895 the king of Corea acknowl-
edged the suzerainty of China, but the
present king, Heui VI, at the conclusion
of the war between China and Japan, re-
nounced the Chinese allegiance and pro-
claimed himself absolute monarch.
Since that time the political history 1t
the kingdom has been that of the strife
of Japanese and Russian influence at
Seoul.
There are between 100000 and 49,
100000 people in Corea, the population
being about as dense as that of our own
state. They are race of quick-witted
children. Their ignorance of every
thing but the Chinese classics is total.

A professional cleaner says that the
best method of cleansing lace curtains
at home is to make suds of warm wa

If the curtains are very dirty, scrub
them gently with soft scrubbing brush.
Lace curtains should never be rubbed
between the hands. This stretches the
