EASY 70 BE PREsENTABLE.
It Is Just as Little Trouble to Be Or
derby in Appearance as to ~
Neglect the Toilet. ~~s

In these days of inexpensive clothing,
no one can afford to leave his room until
he is in condition to be presentable
anywhere. Neither can he afford, writes
.. S. Marden, in Success, to bother about
thinking of his clothing after Ae is
once dressed, but he should so clothe
himself that he will be utterly uncon-
.scious of any inferiority. A sense of
being f1ttingly and appropriately dressed
increases ones efficiency and self-re-
spect, and so adds materially to achieve
ment. If you are improperly dressed,
or badly "groomed," you will feel a
certain timidity in meeting people, a
loss of power. This results in I'M
easiness, worry, >chagrin and a real loss
OF energy and self-confidence.
We are our own best advertisements,
and If we appear to disadvantage in any
particular, our standard, in the estimate
of others, is cut down. The great majority
of people who come in contact with us
do not see us at our homes; they may
never see our stocks and bonds, or
lands and houses; they know nothing
ofus, unless it bel by reputation, but what
they see of our personality, and they
judge us accurately. They take it for
granted that our general appearance is
a sample of what we are and what We
can do, and, if we are slovenly in dress,
and in personal habits they naturally
think that our work and our lives will
correspond. They are right. 1t does
not matter where the slackness or shift
lessness manifests itself, or what it's ma
ture may be, it will reappear in your
work, in your manner, and in your per-
son. Many people form a careless habit
OF neglccting some part of their tot
let. as when they black only the front
part of their shoes and leave the heels
untouched. The same incompleteness,
the same lack of finish will appear in
every letter they write and in every
piece of work they attempt to do. 1t
will prove detriment to character
growth. The consciousness of incom-
pleteness, or "slip-shodness," tends to
destroy self-respect; to lessen energy
and to detract from ones general ability.

TEETH MADE OF GOLD COIN.
American Soldiers Valuable Molars
Made by Filipino Dentist from
Twenty-Dollar Piece.

A recently returned soldier from the
Philippines has, according to the New
York Times, excited the curiosity of a
we'll known New York dentist by set
of five false teeth made of hammered
gold in one piece. He wears them in
the right side of his mouth. They were
made in the Philippine islands while
Linkey was in active service during the
recent war.
Il was private in the Thirty-fourth
United States volunteers said Mr..
Llnkey, land when We started out, COM
pany K, of which was member, had a
dentist, but he died outside Manila while
We were on long and laborious hike.
We garrisoned the town of Aliaga, and l
caught cold one night. That settled in
my teeth. On the night of the day they
bothered me most our native guide gave
US warning that there would be sur
prise party. We were up and ready

and got the butt of gun in the jaw.
The jolt knocked out five teeth.
Being in Aliaga for more than year,
I formed friendship with one Claron
Domenico, very bright and Industrious
native. He noticed the gap every time

make some teeth for me on condition

piled. He took the measure and made
crude mold with some native gum-it
may have been gutta percha-and after
five days he fitted this set Of teeth.
Il marveled at the mans skill. and
asked him about himself. He said that
ne had learned the art in England, and
believed that he was a better dentist than
any one living. When it became known
to the boys that there was tooth artist
in the town he got such rush of business
that he could scarcely attend to it. He
showed us some specimens of teeth in
which he had set precious stones My
teeth are perfect in fit, and can remove
them or leave them in my mouth all the
time with ease. ,Claron would not let me
pay for them, insisting that it was a
pleasure for him to make me happy and
that the 500 gold piece which he had
hammered into molars was enough for
any soldier to miss from his pocket in
those times of want"

ILLUSTRATE YOUR BOOKS
An Easy Way Of Adding to the In
te:est and Value of the
Library.

You arc all aware that there are COM
Ing from the presses all the time excel
lent pictures relating to everything un-
der the sun, and especially to the
scenes aid characters of well-knowr
books, says Books and Reading" in
St. Nicholas. The suggestion we would
make is that you preserve such of these
as may some in your way, and then use
them to illustrate your own books. 1t
will be easy, for instance, to secure por-
traits OF the authors in whom you de-
light, ind it often is not at all hard to
find pictures of noted places referred to
in the text of the book. Do not be in
too grsa: hurry about pasting in what
you fi',d.: 1t is wiser to keep an envelope
large enough to hold the pictures
without bending them-and collect
whatever comes rightfully to hand and
is thought fit for the purpose. After
you have a fair amount of mate
rial, you can sort out the best and pre-
pare it for the book. Some grown-up
people who give great deal of time,
thoaght and money to this "extra-ill:ls-
traung," as it is called, are very fnical
about the work, and have the pictures
50 prepared as to seem made for the VOL
ume; but this would not be worth your
trouble. 1t is to be hoped that you all
have something better worth your time
and effort. 1t will be best for you to
mount your pictures on thin paper cut
to the size of the book, and then fix
those in their places with just touch OF
paste.

HOLD 70 BARBARIc UsAaEs
Singular Decorations Of Figures in
Churches and Cemeteries in
the Philippines.

zone of the great curiosities to Amer
leans who first visit the Philippines, :"
said an army officer, reports the Wash
ington Star, who has just returned after
a three-years' detail in the archipelago,
lis the method of decoration used in the
churches and cemeteries, especially in
the matter of the statues of Christ and
the virgin Almost all the statues Of the
Saviour in countries whose population
is dark-skinned are Of an Ethiopian hue,
and bear the facial characteristics of the
natives 1t would never do to depict a
Filipino Christ as white man, for the
reason that the natives would not under
stand or respect it as highly as they
would Divine leader of their own race.
And it follows that the mother of Christ
must also be black, or at least of dark
hue.
But one of the funniest things that
ever caught my eye was statue in a
cemetery in Luzon. There was glass
case as high as man and perhaps four
feet square placed in prominent part
of the city of the dead that caught and
held the eye. Upon closer inspection
the case was seen to contain statue of
woman. She was gOwned in the most
elaborate fashion known to the Filipino
dressmaker, and modern hat of the
Gainsboro type was set jauntily over
her ear, the broad brim falling away in
dashing style from her left eye. The
hat was the most attractive feature of
1.-THE whole thing, being really stylish
creation, copied, without doubt, from
some fashion book of New. York styles.
At the foot of this wonderful statue
were representations Of many of the
animals of the Philippine forest all COM
Ing up to worship it, and as curiosity
it had no competitor in the entire island.
But the officers and soldiers of the army
who were in the neighborhood, and who
went to see it, were at loss to under
stand it's meaning until padre came to
the rescue. He explained that it was
statue of the Virgin Mary, and the con-
sternation of the Catholic soldiers may
be imagined when they looked upon
what they thought to be dissertation
Of sacred subject.
'The padre, however, soon quelled
their anger by explaining to them that
the Filipino wanted as much decoration
for his religious subjects as he could get,
and that he would not appreciate statue
Of the virgin clad in the garments that
are familiar to us as the raiment Of
purity. He demanded more than SIM
pie garment wound about the form, and
the priests had to respond to the demand
! in order to have their teachings COM
mand respect. The customary garb of
the virgin is too much like that worn by
the natives to appeal to them, and they
would not readily admit the superiority
of being whose dress was not more
elaborate than their own. So it is as
much custom of the country to dress
| the virgin in fine raiment as it is to paint
the face and body of the Christ to CORE
spOnd with the hue which is familiar to
! the natives, and have heard of several
other cases where statues of the virgin
are finished in the very latest creations

Are colored umbrellas really to make

that in its present form the umbrella is
the ugliest and most inartistic dress

One From Kinowood

The Kingwood argus is guilty of
the following: There is a girl at
Morgantown who is so bashful that
she cannot see a sleeping car without
blushing, and she faints at the sight
of undressed lumber. But she is
hardly as foolish as an old maid a t
Fairmont, who covers the face of the
clock in her bedroom every night be-
fore undressing for bed and even has
lingerie on the legs of her bedstead.
However, there is a sweet young
thing at Grafton who will not look at
tree in the winter time for fear she
will see naked limb, and she will not
express an opinion fearing to unbos-
ON her mind. But the Clarksburg
girl, who is so modest that she pre-
fers a falsehood to the naked truth,
rather takes the bakeshop."
