Society and the Supreme Court.

The Washington social teapot is al
ways in danger of boiling over unless it
is carefully watched, and just now it is
singing away merrily, and over the clat-
ter of teacups and the stirring of spoons
in every Washington drawing-room
where the women of society congregate
there is animated discussion as to wheth-
er the dear Chief Justice was right, or
that perfectly lovely Major McCawley
did only what he ought to have done.
Washington threatens to become divided
into rival camps. The Chief Justice is
old, grave, dignified, Major McCawley is
young, gallant, and a thing of beauty in
uniform. 1t need not be said how the
camps divide.
All this commOtion has come about
because Major McCawley, who is really
the master of ceremonies at the White
House, would not permit the Chief JUS
tice and the other Justices of the Su-
preme Court of the United States to pre-
cede the diplomats at the reception given
by the President, nominally in honor of
the judiciary. Chief Justice Fuller and
his associates insisted that they had the
right first to pay their respects to the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Major
McCawley thought otherwise and told
them they could not be admitted to the
presence until the diplomats had passed
down the line. The Supreme Court is
not in the habit of having its fiat ques-
toned, and especially not by a mere
major in the Marine Corps. The Justices
fumed. Major McCawley was adamant.
The judicial branch of the Government
threatened dire things. The military
arm of the Government had the advan-
tage of strategical position. Mars pre-
vailed The Court fell back, and diplo-
macy was given the pas.-Collier's

Do Homework for Development.

'.Why any woman who has home
and wishes TO reduce her weight or
broaden her shoulders should take up
physical culture, and pay out money to
learn number of impossible exercises
is beyond me-" said Mrs. Fred Hebbell
of ll31 Third Avenue. "lf she but knew
it, a series of exercises which are within
reach of her own home will do more
good than a whole course of gymnastics.
Housework done properly will do moro
to give woman the desired figure and
carriage, to say nothing of health, than
any set of exercises yet found by any
physical cultrrist. In the first place
the regular exercise of sweeping the
kitchen every day or more often is the
finest thing in the world for broadening
the shoulders and deepening the chest,
and incidentally strengthening the lungs.
| know it for have tried it myself.
"Then, in busting, the reaching and
climbing, if it is not carried to an ex-
IRENE, is nothing more or less than
practical example of some of the exer-
cises in a physical culture course. The
trips up and down strengthen the lower
limbs, and give the same results as that
class of set exercises. To be sure the
running up stairs and down is apt to be
carried to an extreme where one is doing
the housework without the assistance of
a maid, but there is where care his to be
taken in this Homework physical cult
ure,' for any part of it is frequently car
ried to an. extreme where one is doing a
case the work is more apt to help than
to hurt. The very regularity with which
homework has to be done is one of the
most useful things about the exercise.
"With classes, which meet once or
perhaps twice, week, and the spasmodic
practicing between times, one never
could begin to get the results which
few months of plain housework will ac-
compliSh. Argus.

"DO 1T TODAY"

The time-worn injunction, "Never put
off It'll tomorrow what you can do to-
day." is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it today That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it to-day-and let
that remedy be DIR. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
thirty-five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
leep-seated your cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect cure
as it has done before in thousands of APP
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

A Complexion Beautifier.

Raisins and apples are now considered
two of the most valuable foods known;
the former contains all the essential ele-
ments of a perfect food in convenient
form. Apples are highly beneficial in
liver and kidney troubles, and are now
much used in cases of brain affection.
Ignoring the old adage about fruit being
''lead at night" physicians recommend
people to eat apples freely just before
going to bed, claiming that they induce
sleep, work in a pleasant way on the
digestive organs, promote the action of
the liver and prevent stagnation OF the
kidneys.
Before the doctors began to recognize
this-or to say anything about it if they
did-a woman had made the discovery
for herself that apples were the best
taken at night, and for years she had no
more omitted her apple at retiring than
she did her cold sponge in the morning,
and she would as quick have omitted her
prayer, devout soul that she was, as that.
At so she had the most exquisite COM
plexion, her skin was like satin, and as
smooth as girls" "Apples at night"
she always said when her complexion
was commented on. A simple way of
attaining an exquisite skin, surely.-Ex.

To Care for Lamps,

Never touch the chimney of lamp
with water. A few drops of kerosene
oil will remove the smoke and dimness,
and rub with soft flannel or chamois
skin will result in clear polish.
Clean every bit of the burner with
rag dipped in kerosene, and polish it dry
and bright. Boil very dirty neglected
burners in soda and water.
See that the outside of the lamp is
dry, clean and perfectly free from oil
after being filled. Each day rub off the
burnt portion of the wick with a buster;
do not cut the wick.
Do not fill lamp to the brim.
Do not let lamp burn after the oil is
exhausted or turn it down. Nearly the
same amount of oil is consumed as when
the flame is full, what is not burnt pass
ing off in the form of gas, which is often
smelt when entering room where the
lamp has been turned low.
A biz of camphor the size of a hazel
nut put into the oil reservoir improves
the light.
Empty and wash the reservoir every
few weeks to prevent the collection of
sediment from the oil.
Soak new wicks in vinegar, and dry
thoroughly before putting in the burner.

Endorsements Are Dainty.

Dress seems to be the main subject OF
discussion just at the present time,
and it is not little surprising that it
should be so, taking in consideration the
weather and the approaching season. 1t
really makes one chilly to see the shop
windows with their elaborate decOra-
tions. OF course it is the duty of the
store managers to display the spring
goods, but it does seem little early.
Underwear is about the most interesting
thing at the present time, and a beauti-
full line is being displayed.
Never before has there been such a
bewildering array of undergarments as
there is to-day. No expense is spared
in the making of them. Silk underwear
is not quite as fashionable as it was in
former years, and the finest of linens and
gauze are taking its place. -,
1t has been discovered that the SILK
garments are not as comfortable as the
linen, and the women of to-day are look
ing for comfort as well as beauty. The
entire suits are being shown for ordinary
use, and it is no wonder that they are
often included in the trousseau. These
suits consist of both corset covers and
chemises, so that a change can be made
if wished. All colors are used in the
making of these suits and they may be
had in all sizes.
Medallions are frequently used instead
of lace or embroidery and they are ever
so much prettier. No more shirred
undergarments are to be seen, and one
should be very much pleased at the
change. A lovely outfit is made of white
batiste. 1t is completely covered with
drawn work medallions, which are
graduated in size. Large bows are tied
at the left side of the chemise and corset
cover, and also on the petticoat at the
bottom. On one of these expensive
outfits fringe was used in great abun-
dance, but it is not the best idea because
it is so bulky.
Valenciennes lace is the best quality
of lace with which to trim a suit OF
underwear, although the other laces are
used frequently. Embroidered materials
are very stylish at present, and they are
proving their worth by their durability.
Short skirts are included in the outfits
of undergarments, and they are very
charming in their simplicity. These are
made with the hip yoke which fits
snugly. The bottom is either plated on
the yoke part or it is shirred. Which
ever way, they are very stylish.
Lovely silk petticoats are on sale for a
comparatively small sum. They have
innumerable ruffles at the bottom, and
some of them are shirred around the
hips to give the new full effect. They
come in all colors, and Scotch plaids are
very fashionable now. In fact, anything
which is unusual is up to date.-EX.

Oceans Reputation Going.
INCREASE IN SHIPS ON THE PACIFIC
FOLLOWED BY INCREASE IN DISASTERS.

The Pacific Ocean is fast losing the
reputation implied in the name given to
it by Magellan, and which it owes to the
placid appearance of its surface when he
first saw it. The change is one OF the
inevitable results of the growth of com.
MERGE. Prior to the discovery of gold
in California comparatively few vessels
sailed over its waters. There were,
therefore, few casualties to report. In
late years, however, commerce has ex-
tended in all directions. The ocean is
filling with ships, and the disasters OF
the sea are multiplying proportionately.
Along the California coast the ocean is
placid enough to retain its reputation as
pacific. Storms are rare. 1t is not
often that its waters are dashed into
fury like those of the Atlantic in these
ATTITUDES. But along the Oregon, Wash
ngton, British Columbian and Alaskan
coasts there is little, if any, difference
between the conditions prevailing in the
Pacific and those existing in the Allan
tic Ocean.
Mariners now dread Cape Flattery, at
the entrance to the Strait of Juan de
Fuca, almost, if not quite, as much as
they do Cape Hatteras, on the Eastern
coast. Wrecks are lining the north
western coast of the continent as they do
the northeastern shores of it.
AS the Pacific Ocean is gradually fill
ing with the white-winged and steam
propelled agents of commerce, the ratio
of shipwrecks is correspondingly rising.
Perhaps we have witnessed more wrecks
on this coast than we should have ex-
perienced if the same precautions
against disaster had been adopted in the
navigation of Pacific waters as is taken
in the Atlantic Ocean. The Pacific has
undoubtedly been made the graveyard
of many steam and sail vessels, which
were transferred to it from the Atlantic
Ocean because they were not considered
safe to keep in commission in the latter,
under the mistaken belief that milder
weather and smoother water were to be
found here. Others have been lost
through the vicious practice of overload
ing, the risk being taken on account of
the same error of opinion regarding the
placidity of these waters. Ship owners
are, however, fast learning that rotten
hulks and overloaded craft are not any
more immune from disaster here than
they are anywhere else. The growth of
commerce and the increasing perils of
navigation resulting from it demand the
abandonment of both. Francisco
