She was the first book agent who had
ever penetrated into the sacred pre-

How did she do it?"
It was several hours before the House
and Senate awoke to the full knowledge
of the tactful assault upon them, and
then they learned that the book agent

had ever dared even to dream of was

Before Miss Morosini orders a hat or
a gown she gives the importer a pencil
sketch of just what she wishes. and as
she makes a point of letting her dress
reflect her own individuality she has
never been seen unbecomingly gowned.
Being clever woman, she learned long
ago that a becoming gown or hat may
be overlooked, but an unbecoming one
never.
She knows all about the harmony of
dress and the effects produced by cor
rect color combinations So particular
is she in regard to every little detail of
her toilet that she not only has her
hats, gloves and shoes made to match
her gown, but her wells as well.
Her jewels also Nlend perfectly with
the coloring of he\ costume. If she
wears a white gown. Timmed with en-
erald green velvet, her jewels are sure
to be emeralds. And so ii is amethysts

The London Daily Maiu has the fol-
lowing: after three years Of patient
research Professor Redard, of Geneva,
assisted of Professor Emery, has dis
covered new anesthetic which pro
misses to revolutionize the practice of
dentistry.
Finding that the nervous system is
influenced by colored light, the profess
sor experienced with each hue in turn,
and soon perceived that blue has an ex-
traordinary soothing effect on the
nerves.
Putting this discovery to practical
use, he now shuts up a patient in a
dark room and. exposes his eye to a blue
light of 16 candlepower for three min
utes, causing him to lose all sense of
pain, although at the same time retain

The statement that a single capital
of Europe has over hundred thousand
underfed children would be, if it were
not more or less familiar, too shocking
for belief. 1t is one of the appalling
conditions of civilization and industrial
competition, to which the world has be-
come accustomed and hardened. Leav-
ing aside the unspeakable suffering en-
tailed, the annual loss to nations whose
capitals contain such conditions must
approach that of a great war. Each
year sees it's thousands of all ages die
and its thousands more grow up weak
Hngs, to become criminals or paupers
without even a hope of anything else.

the widespread discussion of these ter

Hamm says that the cause of the ply

sui Hamm finds in the English situa-

not: THE United States is now making
vigorous efforts to enlarge it's commerce

this, care should be taken to insure
future generations against such physi-
