CIRCUS PEOPLE LIVE WELL.
They Are Provided witt. The Best of
Everything.


"Flow do circus men and women
live while on the road?" said circus
man. "Why, they live better than ever
before. We carry almost 1000 people,
and doubt il you can find one Of that
number who is disconnected with his or
her lot Several years ago it was GUS
tomary with the majority of circuses
to provide inferior cars for their bust
ness staff and performers and compel
the laborers to sleep under the big red
wagons or the fiat car The passage of
time has changed the order Of things.
Circus folk now travel as well as IL not
better than the majority Of men and
women who are constantly moving
from one portion Of the United States
to the other in search Of pleasure.
"Our business staff and performers
live in spacious Pullman cars. The
beds are soft and roomy, and the bed
clothing is always fresh and clean. The
circus has twelve Pullmans of this
kind, and on each one is a porter,
whose duty it is to polish the shoes Of
all the occupants each night, look after
the laundry and make the beds and

train is an extra long dining car, where
the majority of the people are fed.
This dinner is looked after by compe-

and walters, and breakfast and dinner
are served there each day. The per-

circus grounds Immediately after pa.

canvas men, hostlers, property ham
dlers and animal men, are served with
three meals ON the ground. The food
provided is of the best, and there is al.
ways plenty Of it. Every laborer has

swinging hunks in the cars directly
above their horses; the animal men are
accommodated in coy little staterooms
fitted up in the big elephant cars, while
the property handlers and canvas men
sleep in coaches that greatly resemble
tourist cars Every one has good quar-
tiers and splendid food, and in conse-
quence it is seldom that a complaint is
heard. kansas City Journal.

his aches and pains. They left him
lying there, and walked around the
house to find the prettiest place in
the garden in which to lay him. They
chose spot where as a puppy, Storm
had loved to lie In the dappled shade.
In half an hour the grave was dug,
and they came back to bury Storm.
He was not there!
Instead of lying stiff and cold, he &C.
tually trotted toward them, briskly
wagging his tail!
He pranced, he twirled. he paved
them. He frisked and leaped as If he
were young dog again.
And his family? They covered him
with embraces, and al sat down and
cried over the dog who had miracul-
Ously come back to life!
The neighbors are still trying to ex-
plain it. Most people think that the
druggist made mistake, or that he
liked his little joke and didn't give
us pruSSic acid at all. But If that is
so, why should Storm have fallen over
like dead dog, and what became Of
his rheumatism? The druggist de-
clares that it was prussic acid, and
the family doctor declares that Storm
took enough to kill dozen horses.
But certain it is that Storm did not
know what was expected of him.-St.

THE WOMEN OF JAPAN.

The wv,pen Of Japan do not go out
and fight to-day as they have done on
rare occasion Sn the past. We had
an Empress: once who led an army into
Korea ane fought at The head of her
soldiers. And even in the last CEN
fury, when the Shotgun made his last
rtanS against the Mikado, nearly a
thousand women and girls belonging to
families attacheu to tie Shotgun fought
behind and upon the castle walls, and
many were killed, says writer in
Earper's Weekly.
It is different now. Only the men go
out. But there is much left for the
women to CO, nnd there is not wo-
rlal in Japan who will shirk her du-
ty. Not only Llcst che take care Of
the family while the men are away,
but she rluSt work for the soldiers.
Our Empress herself is the patron Of
the JapaneSe Red Cross Society.
whose President is always prince Of
the royal house. With her own hands
the Empress prepares bandages and
clothing for the men il the field; and
so great was her personal interest in
the men who fought in the war with
China that ct the close Of the war
she gave an artificial limb to every
man who had lost one on the battle
field.
The women who act as nurses must
lay aside their kimonos and wear the
regular dress Of hospital nurse.
Both before and since the war with
China the women Of Japan have at
tended the hospital training schools,
where instruction is given by Ameri
can and European nurses, and there
are now no better nurses in the world
than those Of Japan.

DAINTY FASHION ACCESSORIES.

DAlN L IAc1lON AN I1i|Iio'
Fashions this season are surely the
liveliest seen for many years, and they
are the ideas of many brilliant women
of both this time ard those of other
days. The most charming effects are
seen, and the accessories, which are
Of the most elaborate conception, are
those which could not be improved
upon. They are very fussy, and those
which are not are extremely simple
and elegant in their designing.
Parasols are fit examples for the ex-
quisiteness Of things this, season, and
nothing more beautiful is on sale.
Simpleness seems to he the one strong
point of them, and the new Dresden
parasols with the tiny dainty handle
are all that could be wished for, even
for the most elaborate sowning. Those
of chiffon are a trifie passe, and few
are to be seen, while the white, green
and blue ones dot the horizon wherever
the feminine sex is III evidence. Striped
ones are pretty, and most peculiar
effects may be achieved by a parasOl
of striped silk with huge dots below.
OF course, we must not pass over the
embroidered parasois, and these, with
the linen gown and embroidered to
match, are extremely chic. The quaint
Dresden silk ones remind one of the
painting of beautiful shepherdess,
with her dainty gown studded with
tiny sprays Of flowers, and these are
used expressly for that purpose. Large
bows are being used extensively on the
handles, and for the sEiart woman who
can afford such luxury the handles
are studded with precious stones. Lace
coverings are used on many of the plain
ones, and when one wants different
parasol good scheme is to cover the
old one with lace cover, which gives
soft and dainty effect.
Other parasols have long chiffon
streamers which flow from the handle
and are perhaps yard or two long.

'"Therkfore girls IN domestic service

HOW KING EDWARD DIMES.
Perfect Discipline Of the Palace Corps
of Cooks.


Of Cooks.
The moment that their British Ma
jesties take their seats at the table
all activity in the kitchen ceases.
Quiet reigns The dishes are all in
their assigned places, the courses pre-
pared In the forenoon are on special
tables, in summer between blocks OF
ice. The meats, fowl and delicacies
that are to be served hot need only be
put on the stove for a moment to be
served when needed.
The soup which is cooked an hour
before the beginning of the dinner,
boils and bubbles, while the "hors
d'oeuvre" {the delicacy taken between
courses) is neatly arranged on small
silver platters within easy reach
either in the kitchen itself or else, as
is the case in Buckingham Palace,
brought to an ante-chamber-which
in this palace is generous fraction
OF mile from the kitchen.
The time for the serving Of the diff
ferent courses is fixed permanently,
and the arrangement works like
clock Every kitchen servant must
appear clad in snowy linen and must
have his own wash basin and towel
close at hand
No sound is heard save the oc'
sional orders Of the head cook.
even these are rarely necessary, as
the servants are well drilled. In spite
OF this the head cook, conscious of the
responsibility resting on him, is ever
watchTul. Not the slightest thing can
escape his notice.
Close to the dining room is a large
chamber into which all the dishes are
brought to receive the last touch be-
fore being carried to the board. The
silver plate, the dishes and glasses re-
moved from the table between the diff
fere0t courses are also taken to this

pepast. The man in charge here is
&ttired in faultless dress suit and
gives his orders in low whispers.
hing Edward and Queen Alexandra,
with the other members Of the royal
family, and on special occasions dis
tiAguished guests also, have their own
special serving men, while all the 9th
eIs present at the board are served
BY waiter.
The entire staff of servants serving
at tis table are dressed in black.
They appear in knee breeches, "swal-
low-t&ir' coats, high stockings and
6uch;ed shoes. The table service of
the royal household is of immense
value. and consists as occasion re-
quircs of dishes made Of silver, Of gold
or o. the finest Chinese porcelain.
Tf,ss King is fond of good eating, but
prefers plain, nourishing and substan-
tial t1ods. He is lover of the oyster
and likes vegetable soups, but cares
neither For mock turtle nor for OK
tail soup. He eats game, fowl pre-
pareo with toasted bread and aspara-
gus Leads, preserved fruits and toast,
but GAts no pastries. The Queen, on
the O:her hand, is fond Of pastries and
sweets. She once said to an Austrian
diplomat: 81 have the appetite of
dairy maid" The Queen usually sub
mfrs her wishes in regard to the menu
to her lady-in-waiting, the Hon. Miss

head cook with them.
