The DOLLS the Thing.

| One of the most astonishing things in
the way of fashions is the temperance
of an old, old fad. Skirts fiounced up
to the waist, all the fashion little after
the war, are now coming in, and what
seems less reasonable, and is really child
iSh is the revival of dolls as pincushions,
penwipers, and other similar uses. The
Washington Evening Star says that every
woman of fashion of to-day seeks for
pretexts by which she may employ dolls.
| On her dressing table is perched charm
ing French doll, dressed in delicate pink
silk, laces and chiffon, among whose
skirts, artfully hidden, are pieces of t1an-
mel filled with different sizes of safety
pins; from the side of her mirror hangs
a bewitching Japanese doll robed in a
manner wholly out of place, with rib
bons and chiffon, which conceal more
pins, but this time, fancy ones, suitable
for fastening stocks, collars, ribbons and
other fal-lals. She has many more
that serve to hold sachet bags, though
this would seem the most absurd idea of
all, since sachet bags are made to lie be-
tween layers of clothes, or tucked be-
tween silk or silkoline to line drawers
and boxes. But now dolls appear every
where; they destroy the value of pin
cushions by being poised upon them
they perch upon boxes of candy; some
times clothed in black, their skirts serve
as penwipers. Again women throw
aside all pretense of use, and collect
dolls just for fun. A doll is the thing.

Russia and Japan Compared.

The man who judges things by weight,
bulk and dollars may well wonder at
Japanese temerity. To Japan, with
her 147, 900 square miles, the annexation
of Korea, with $4,000 square miles,
means what the annexation of Mexico
would to the United States. To Russia,
with $4,000 square miles, it means
less than Southern California to US.
Though Japan has only one-third the
population of her rival, she publishes as
many books every year; and, despite the
concentration of her population, which
permits of the wide circulation of her
city dailies, she publishes as many news
papers. The percentage of her people
who can read and write is about equal to
that of our own New England States.
In schools and colleges she has 5000, 900
pupils and students, or one in every nine
of the population, where Russia has
only one in every thirty-five. In fact,
Japan, with her "A, 0OO,0 600 people, prob.
ably has more subjects who can read
and write than Russia with her lao, 000,-
900. The Russians have given nothing
to mechanical progress, but have used
its products, the railroad and the rifle,
to carry them almost to the doorway of
Peking. The reformation awakened in
Japan the spirit of benevolent assimila-
tion," and realization that she must
have more room for her growing popula-
ton or perish. In '94 and '95, thanks to
modern methods, Japan occupied Korea
and the Liao-tung Peninsula, and had
Peking at her mercy, when Russia,
France, and Germany stayed her hand.
Both nations, then, are borrowers.
Their artillery, their men-of-war, and
their field telegraphs are no more part
of their own development than the
Creusot guns, which pounded the British
in South Africa, were of Boer civiliza-
ton. Not since the Turks carved their
way as far as the walls of Vienna, has
IN Oriental race presumed to meet
Northern race on its own ground. Every
bizarre element that appeals either to
the ear or to the eye enters into those
negotiations upon which depends the
momentous question of whether the
Pacific shall be Slav lake or not.-Col-
lier's Weekly.

A Clause In Nnpoleon's VIII.

Peter the Great is said to have made
q will in which he eXhorted his heirs
to approach us nearly as possible to
Constantinorlc and toward India. but
the authenticity of this document has
been disputed. and it is shrewdly sus-
pected to have been forged late in the
eighteenth century by August won
kotzebue. OF the genuineness, how
ever, of the last will ami testament
Of Napoleon l. there can be no man
ner of doubt. One Of its claUscS WAS
as vindictive us the teStamentary in
junction of Queen AuStri@ilda 10 her
husband to have Ter two doctors killed
and buried with her.

bequeatled l0G00 francs To Il fellow
called Cantillon. who had been tried
in Paris for an attemnt 10 murder the

poleon Ill. came to lie throne, and
Cantillon was duly paid his legacy.

More Eulness is Coming.

The revolution that designers now
promise is more fulness. Even the
shadow of such prediction is enough
to make the short and stout weep. This
winter has been trial on their en-
durance, and to face another year, filled
with the same trial, only more OF it, il
not pleasant to contemplate.
Yet one of the most conservative de
signers, who is given to persuadine
rather than arguing, in regard to styles
says that women will have to come te
these full styles this spring. There will
be no way around them. The short, the
tall, the stout, the thin, will follow the
fashions, and they are to be the most
exaggerated of the civil war types.
Where two tlounces have been worr
this winter there will be four. Where
fiat yokes were worn there will be smock
ing and corded shirring. Added to the
folds and ruffles there will be festOons
of silk and ruching.
The blouses are TO be short under
arms and bust, with point in front
and the armhole is to be four inches
down on the arm, with voluminous
sleeves sweeping away from it.
Really, everything is promised except
hoop skirts. AS yet there isn't a whis
per of crinoline. The absence of this
hideous stuff has redeemed the gowns Of
this winter.
Why sensible men and women should
get together and agree to foist upon 6
helpless public long line of fashion:
that are as ugly as the civil war ones ne
one who loves the art of dress can posi-
bly, tell, says Anne Rittenhouse in the
Philadelphia Press. Why the public
should be helpless is too large question
to enter into here. That it gives the APP
pearance of being so is apparent to any
one.
Not one woman in / 900 runs counter tC
the seasons styles. And it is question
as to whether they look well when they
do it.
The woman who wears tight, plair
sleeve when every one else wears large
one is conspicuous and feels so. TIL,
woman who wears an untrimmed satiI
skirt may have looked we'll in it wher
they were the fashion, but she look
very awkward now. And these may b,
some of the reasons why the publ
seems helpless.
The happy mean between these TIVE
extremes of following the fashions ant
dyfying them is not struck by the many
When it is conquered by the few, the
victors get the name of being the hes
dressed women in their set.
1t is knowing how to give just tn
right fulness to skirt and the correc
size to sleeve that makes woman al
example in clothes to all those who lool
at her.
There is clever saying that advic,
is only given to help make up your mind
1t is the person who takes all advic,
from every quarter and then determines
his own course who is usually the wis
man in the generation. This same doc
trine should be applied to clothes. AL
the fashions and models should be look
ed at as guides, and then, assimilatins
what is best in each, woman SHOULD
choose her own styles.

Broiling in PAPER,

Chops, birds and dry fish are most
delicate and delicious broiled in paper.
This should be spread with the best
olive oil; then the article to be broiled,
sailed and peppered, should be snugly
tucked in the case turning the edges over
several times and pinching together close
to the meat. The paper will char long
time before igniting, and the contents
will be basted in their own juice.
The time required for broiling in pa
per is usually about eight minutes.
When the paper is well Drowned, the
chop or bird will be done to a juicy,
delicate and digestible turn. Serve in
its envelope, which conserves both
heat and juices uutil the moment of eat
ing. A large filet of chicken broiled in
this way is delicious and easy of diges-

How to Rest the Brain.

There are five things to remember to
rest an over-tired brain: /. A healthy
indifference to wakefulness; 2. Con-
centration of the mind on simple things;
Is. Relaxation of the body; 4. Gentle
rhythmic breathing of fresh air; 5.
Regular nourishment. If we donot lose
courage, but keep on steadily night after
night, with healthy persistence in re-
Numbering and practicing these five
things, we shall often find that what
might have been very long period of
sleeplessness may be materially shorten
ed and the sleep which follows the
practice of the exercises is better, sound
er, and more refreshing, than the sleep
that comes before. In many cases a
long or short period of insomnia can be
absolutely prevented by just these simple
means.
Here is perhaps the place to say that
all narcotics are, in such cases, absolute
ly perniciOuS.
