slouchy and common and almost igno-
BILE every one would appear!
Certainly clothes are an asset which
should receive careful consideration,
and the man or woman who affects
a superiority to such vanities, as such
people are wont call them, is very fool
ish and shortsighted.
Il wish men could realize" re-
marked a young woman recently,
that their habiliments are quite as
important to them as ours are to us.
l do not mean finicky' clothes, for. of
course, an overdressed man is as bad
as, if not worse than, slovenly
clothed man; but a neat, clean, becom-
ng attire appropriate to each occa-
sion is nowadays an essential. For a
nan to show such respect to his own
person and to others is surely BETTING,
and one cannot help liking a man bet
ter when he looks at his best. Not
long ago / watched two men playing
court tennis. One was dressed neatly,
with a clean, white sweater and white
flannel trousers, and looked the gen.
tleman. The other wore an old brown
woollen thing that looked as if it had
never seen the tub and old gray
weather-beaten trousers and looked
horried. Unfortunately the latter was
my brother, and when 1 told him
about it he said, oh, ratsn
Nevertheless we women are greatly
Influenced in this respect during the
last few decades. 1t is now an adj
vantage instead of a disadvantage for
a business man to be well dressed, and
taking them as a whole America n" 80

WANT WOMEN ONCE
COULDN'T WEAR.

While we may pick and choose and
do exactly as we please about our
clothes, Says st. Nichols, there have
been, in times gone by, in many
countries, and even in our own, what
were known as ''sumptuary laws"
These laws regulated expenditure for
dress, for ornament, for food, or for
whatever refreshments you might give
company when they came to take tea.
Among the first of these sumptuary
laws was one made in Rome in 215 B.
c., and called the "Oppian Law" 1t
declared that no woman should pos
sess more than half an ounce of gold,
wear q dress of different colors, or
ride in a vehicle in the city, or within
a mile of it except on occasions of
public religious ceremonies. This law
lasted only twenty years.
Italy and France are the countries
where most of these laws have been
passed, and some of them read very
strangely. In 1880, III Italy, no woman
was allowed to wear a dress with
figures painted on it; she could only
have them embroidered. And in 1884
in the same country neither dark
green nor black dresses were allowed
to be worn in the morning.

BAD PHONE MANNERS.

A dignified matron Says the Phil
adelphia Record who has a couple
of debutantes in her family complain
ed the other day that the phone" was
conducive to bad manners.
81 do not think can be accused OF
being unprogressive," she said but |
never shall become accustomed to tele-
phone manners. This is what happens
to me about every hour in the day:
"'Phone bell rings. l, being con-
venient answer. Masculine voice calls
Hello Now l realize that the possess
sor of that voice is probably a youth
of twenty. and while l resent the
familiar Hello 1 respond, Hello and
he begins.
"'Who is this?'
who is this? There is something so
abrupt in this form of question that 1
feel like making an explanation that
will not only be considered satisfactory
but final but having identified myself
to the young mans satisfaction he pro-
ceeds:
"'Oh, this is Mrs. B.! Well, Mrs B.,
want to see Miss II. win you tell
Miss H. l want to speak to her.
'He does not apologize, seldom says.
Thank YOU never by accident says
Please and allow me to hunt all over
the house for the one he wants; some
times grow imprudent when I can't
find her and seems to ignore the rights
of every one but himself. Now, why
should not the same rule of conduct
be adhered to over a phone that is
strictly enforced In the drawing room ?
Think of all the different phone mes
sages you receive and think how
often they offend against the simple
rules OF good mauners!"

POWER OF A WoMAN'S EYES.

The very first thing a man sees, says
the Kansas City Journal, when he
looks at a girl is her eyes. the very
last thing he remembers after she has
passed out of his life is-her eyes. Long
after he has forgotten the color of her
hair, the dimple in her chin and the
soft, sweet sound of her voice, the look
in her eyes will remain with him.
He may not be able to single her
glove out of his pile of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the wastebasket with a lot
of others; the slippers she made him
may have been worn out by his valet,
but still some particular turn of her
glance, some little trick of dropping
her lashes or lifting her brown eyes
will be as clear to him as the daylight.
Ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satin Lined casket,
that glance will rise like Banquos
ghost at the feast and startle him
Just at the moment when the man is
looking most intently into the eyes of
another woman.
1t is not the color of a womans eyes
which a man first observes or last re-
members. Nine times out of ten a
man will turn from a glance of pair
OF SOU, DTOWn, COW-Hkc eyes " SdAS
into the green orbs of the red-headed
girl on the other side of the table, and
many a doll-like, blue-eyed beauty
weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away
her sweetheart.
Ask any man the color of his sisters
eyes and he will look at you blankly
"Jove," he will remark, Il believe
I've forgotten. But they're all right
There's something about them that's
catchy" And that is positively all that
can be gotten out of him.
The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes
were green or that Cleopatra's eyes
were yellow never interfered with the
Vaccinations of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their regulations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break bank or sell his
oVercoat in order to give his wife
what she wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it soul" Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they call
ed it character" But no man will ever
know what ii is any more than he will
ever know why he married the partic-
ular woman he picked out or why the
cook has left 1t is question as sub
tie and elusive as either of these.

With an aluminium dish in which to
cook home made candies, the danger
of burning is reduced to a minimum.
Since heat distributes itself equally
through all parts of the metal, the
point over the blaze is no hotter than
are the sides of the utensil. Moreover,
an aluminium pan in which to cool
the mixture requires no oiling to keep
it from sticking.
Many corrections notably the
Judges, creams and pulled bars-are
at their best when homemade. For
fudge, there are about as many form
ulae as there are women who make it.,
and each pretty surely claims for her
product the distinction of possessing
the most delicate flavor and texture
Molasses candy, less often than 9TH
ers, is well made in the home kitch-
en-, although, when properly treated
there, it is more delicious than the pro-
fessional's kind.
Cream candies made of fondant lend
themselves to great variety. For a
one-toned table in pink, yellow or
green and white, they are easily
adapted. Pink may be obtained from
cranberry juice or from the pink col
oring sold by all grocers; yellow, by
the yolks of eggs or by saffron, and
green, from spinach juice or from the
vegetable coloring sold by grocers.
Coffee and chocolate give the browns.

That success and happiness are de-
pendent in a great measure on our
clothes is very hard for clever men
and women to appreciate. 1t is GER
tainly difficult to realize that the sar-
torial part of us is even more i'm
portant than our actual personality,
and yet. says the New York Tribune

world would be without the garments

foreigners-Swedes, Finlanders, Irish,
Scotch and English. One family is
happy in having secured a Finn who
has proved pleasant, bright witted, and
competent in her sphere. She was
anxious to learn our language, so
the various members of the family
take points in helping, sometimes point
ing out objects and naming them or
using the language book which gives
translations of words and phrases in
ordinary use. Miss Alice Git wasn't
Alice, but never mind), with the use
of the book, was giving a sort of les

idea, and when Miss Alice, by motion,
asked if she had one, she bridled in
very knowing way and assented.
Several evenings after, a gentleman
called to see Miss Alice. The maid went
upstairs with the message, and linger-
ed after Miss Alice had gone down,
evidently desiring to ask the mistress
something.

nearest approach to her Finnish name
that could be found.) What is it?"

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An. nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to a recently issued census bulletin, the real rank of cities is not all ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population. Some great centers have a considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos- ton is good example; about 100000 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 600,000 of them are governed by the Boston mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country, says Youths Companion.
 It is customary to speak of the popula- tion of a state, Gin proportion to it's size" Such a comparison is seldom made of cities, although it might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example, has a population of a third of a million on 18,000 acres of ground; New York's population, little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly 12 times as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for it's an- nexation habit, but since 1890 New Y York has annexed much more territory than Chicagos total area. New Orleans has a slightly larger area than Chicago Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore.
 Washington, which occupies the Mary land part of the ten miles square set aside for national capital, is a fair sized city as area goes, for this genera tion. It may seem small century hence although it looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out.
 In the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation is plainly one of the tendencies of the times. More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1890 Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided. by reason of local interests, but the cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun- daries outward. There are some eco homie reasons for this, but the reason In many cases has been the desire oi their inhabitants to make "good show ing"

AN OXEN CAVALRY CORPS.
Natives Queerly Mounted for Police Duty on the Island of
 Madagascar.

The oldest cavalry in the world is maintained on the west coast of Mad asascar by Governor General J. G. Gal lieni. While the French troops in that country are ample to meet the occa- sional revOlutionists, the governor gen. eral makes use of native talent for po- lice work in out-of-the-way localities, says the New York Herald.
 On the west coast of Africa is a tribe of natives, possibly radically connected with the Hovas, who are known as the Sakalova, the most war like tribe of the country. The natives, in imitation of French troopers, or ganized an oxen cavalry corps, under command of French officer. They are armed with modern long-handled lances, or spears, aRd side arms Their uniform is khaki, with skull caps. They ride barefooted, without stirrups, sitting on their equipment cinched like a saddle, with cords made of the native fiber plant, and a sort of bridle of the cord, passing through the nose of the beast.
 The oxen are neither slow or scared and it is assumed would create havoc with their horns among horse cavalry
