English. including the British style OF
living and bringing up children. Alter

strong Havana cigar and INDUCES III

GOWN COLORINGS.

Not one woman in ten realizes the
importance of ascertaining and max
ing careful study Of one particular
color most becoming to her and of
always having q touch of it introduced
i'll some part of her dress. The au-
burn-haired woman looks best i'll
brown shading into the tones Of her
hair. or in rich dark greens. The vel
low-haired girl can wear red. The
greens, too, are delightful on her, also
certain yellows and black, says the
Chicago News. White is less becom-
ing, but she must pe brilliant in com
plexion or else most delicate as to tint
to wear grays and blues to advantage.
Blue. particularly the cold and pale
blues, are best adapted to brunettes.
The woman whose hair is a dull
brown, and whose complexion and eyes
lack briliancy, may sill be most at
tractiye, but she should avoid bright
hued or glittering hats. Dull brown
neither yellowish nor reddish, should
DE selected. Avoid the satin straws.
Take the dull finish.

TONS oE BRIGHT GEMS
Ehe Total OF Diamonds in the World Apr
proxinates IS 900, 900 Carats.

she Total OF Diamonds in the World Apr
proxlnates S5,0O0oOO Carats.
1t is estimated that the total worH
production Of diamonds up to date APP
oroximates S5,OO0.000 carats. AS we
are not in the habit of weighing our
diamonds by the ton, we are in some
doubt concerning the PROPER system
of computation, whether troy of avoir-
dupois long ton or short ton. Accord
ing to the system used by those who
do weigh their diamonds in ton guam
titles. the result would be i'll the neigh
borhood of twenty or twenty-five tons
of sparklers now appearing as factors
in the joys and the miseries of world
which has substituted diamonds for
the beads and the wampum Of its an
cestors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage OF their con-
tribution appear as follows: South Az
RIGA S1.5 per cent; Brazil, IS per cent,
and the remaining five per cent. divid-
ed among Borneo, India, New South
Wales and British Guiana, with North
America and Russia supplying specl-
mems. The last two of these countries
have furnished just enough to equip
an opera box for q single evening. The
deep obligation of society to South Al
RIGA is apparent. The price OF dla-
monds have been heavily advanced
during the last year or two, but it is
simply appalling to think what the
price would have been without the
South African supply. Society, Amerl-
can English and Continental, should
daily thank heaven for Kimberley and
Jagersfontein.

measurement of the total collection,

A DAINTY ROSE cushion.

One use to which roses can be put,
even after they have served their pur-
pose in the table vase, or in the gar
den, is in the making of a dainty
cushion. This cushion can be made at
small cost. The petals should be
mixed with rosemary leaves and dried
in the shade to retain color and
fragrance. The remaining material for
tife cushion is as follows: One yard
white Tuxedo yelling, one-half yard
buff mousseline de sole, forty two
inches; one-quarter yard white liberty
silk, forty-two inches. TO make the
cushion cut the yelling and the nous
seline de sole each in two pieces
eighteen inches square, leaving the re-
mainder of the mousseline de sole for
ruffies. The yelling over the NOUS
seine de sole makes q case for the
rose petals. The ruffies of the nous
seine de sole, edged with double
rutfie of liberty silk, finishes the cush-
ion.-Dennis III. Stoyall in The Epi-

TIE aCHARMINGo HOSTESS.

We otter read and hear of a charm
ing hostess, delightful hostess" but,
says correspondent, when we try to
to be Charming hostess" ourselves,
we find the task not quite as easy as
we would wish. Womer, particularly
women in small households, know only
too we'll that when one ardently de-
sires the wheels of the domestic
chariot to run smoothly that is the
very time when, like Pharoah's chariot
Of old, they drag heavily, and the fear
Of them stopping altogether plunges
the hostess in to sea of despair. To
be delightful hostess under these cir
cumstances requires some fortitude
and seif-denial, too, for one naturally
feels inclined to pour forth the do
nestle woes to sympathetic ear, but
il one would be charming" this incli-
nation must be sternly resisted, for
what can be more firing to q guest
than TO hear long story of domestic
warfare, when, in all probability, she
has Just the same state of affairs at
home? No, no, that will never do; and
although it does not always appear as
il virtue brought its own reward, in
this case it does, for in amusing The
guests the burden of household cares
is forgotten for time, at least, and is
thereby considerably lightened.

THE HUSBAND IS nBoss.n

When it comes to the pinch it is the
husband who is to decide what visitors
shall be admitted to the home-not the
wife. 1t is not for the wife to say
who may come and who must stay
away, even if she owns the home. AT
least, that's what the Supreme Court
of Ohio says. The question of who
is the head of the family recently came
up in Erie County in that State, and
was passed upon by no less than four
courts. Oscar w Green, it seems, is
one Of the men who does not like his
mother-in-law. In fact, he dislikes her
so much that he does not want her to
visit him and his wife at their home,
and he gave her notice to that effect.
The mother-in-law kept on coming, just
the same. One day her son-in-law met
her at the door, and refused her admit
lance. She Immediately had him ar
rested, and he was found guilty in the
Probate Court of assault and battery
and fined $40 and costs. This finding
was affirmed by the Court of Common
Pleas, but reversed by the Circuit
Court on the ground that mans home
is his castle, and that the husband is
the lord of the castle. Or, in other
words, he is the "boss." The Supreme
Court has now affirmed this decision.

Filipino Archers

Archery has been practiced in the
United States at intervals, in desul-
tory way, and on two or three occa-
sions has seemed on the point of be-
coming popular. About 1880 it must
have been practiced here TO con-
siderable extent, judging from the
trade catalogues and manuals pub
lished about that time by the dealers
in archery goods. Again about 1879
there was a revival of the sport in
this country, and In 1879 there was
formed a National Association, which
has held it's annual contests since,
though public interest in the sport
has not been sustained.

WILL LEARN THE,
INDIAN TONGUE

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Oct. 6.-On
that momentous winters day nearly
eighteen years ago, when General Miles
in the sanguinary battle Of Wounded
Knee forever shattered the power Of
the Indian in the Northwest, little
girl papoose was picked up on the field
by searchers for the wounded. The
soldiers called her Lost Bird.
Now known as Zintka Colby she has
come to the Indian school at Chamber
lain with the Intention of learning the
Indian tongue and fitting herself to
teach among her own people, the Sioux.
It seems that after the battle she
was adopted by family named Colby
Of Washington and for several years
lived In the shadow Of the capitol, near
the enchanted region of Pocohontas and
the wonder work of her race as dis
closed in the ruins of Inflated James
town. Several years ago she was sent
to All Saints school, at Sioux Falls,
S. D., to be educated near the hunting
grounds Of her fathers.
Since her infancy the sense of the
white mans way with the red man has
grown upon her, and she feels that she
can do nothing less than to devote her
life to the education and improvement
OF her own people. To do this she
leaves home Of luxury and refine
ment.

HOMELESS = Ell
T" ARE "A NUISANCE

ROCKWAY BEACH, L. T., Oct s.
The residential sections at Hollands
and Hamme1 stations are overrun with
homeless dogs and cats, which prowl
around and make nights htdeous with
their bowls and cries. These condi-
tions exist each fall, after the summer
residents have left for their winter
homes. Dogs and cats, which were
housed and fed as pets Of children dur
ing the summer months, are turned out
and abandoned when the families re-
turn to the city In the fall, and these
homeless animals become nuisance to
the community.
There are probably several hundred
Of these tramp animals in the Hollands
and Hammels sections. and the police
are powerless to act in the matter OF
Kidding the community of these nuis-
ances. In former years the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to AMI
mails has sent its ambulances and wag-
one down here and gathered in all the
stray dogs and cats, but thus far this
year the society has failed to do so.
People who have communicated with
the society In the matter have received
no satisfaction. They have been told
that If they would gather in the tramp
dogs and cats and take them up to Far
Rockaway to a" certain veterinary the
animals would be humanely disposed OF,
but the residents do not propose to act
as dog catchers and then spend rail-
road fare in order to carry these home

LAB0R'S RISE DUE TO
SHORTENED WORK DAY
Working Men Daily Improving
Themselves Through
Study After Hours.
lntemperance Decreased AS a
Result.-Labor Gets Chance
To See Better Side,

The long work day which labor has
been fighting and which has finally
been shortened to a degree, wore out
the body Of the workman and made his
mind sluggish. What ambition has the
workman got to better his condition
when he is compelled to work from
oughly exhausted, and he goes to bed
with no brighter prospect than another
days grind. There are hundreds and
thousands of men working in mills and
factories, earnest fellows, who are
daily Improving themselves through
study and application after hours, be-
cause Of the shortened day.
l have heard it said that the shorten
ed day has increased intemperance
among workmen. My experience and
observation will not permit me to agree
with this. I don't know anything
about the statistics in the case, and I
do not care. Figures can be made to
prove almost anything and especially
the contrary, that it was the long
work day that caused so much intem-
perance. Take the man who has
worked 10 and II hours in the foundry
or machine shop. When they days
work is done he is about ''all in,' if
may use the expression His sys-
tenn demands a stimulant and he takes
it. It is not hard to follow the effect
Of that stimulant or to trace intem-
perance therefronl. But to say that
the workmen only gain more time for
the barron through the shortened day
is entirely unfair, unjust, and untrue
The shortened work day gives the
men, especially the young men, that
chance to see the better side of life
which I think means everything for
them. For the view they get leads
them to books and selfimprovement
They broaden out and refuse to be
imprisoned through life in the narrow
confines of the establishment
Labor has set it's face toward the
goal of an eigh-hour day. This would
ameliorate still further the condition
Of the toilers.
I believe in good. sound citizenship
and especially in the Influence of the
home. Without the shortened work
day the Influence Of the home would
be an unknown factor in the lives of
the masses who must work on and on
to live.-Hon. Joseph A. Parks.
