The Woman of Poise.

The woman Of poise indulges in few
eXclamations or superlatives and does
not waste enthusiasm over trifles. She
is gracious. but never gushing, and
she has acquired the habit Of listening
attentively, not awaiting with Ill con.
cealed eagerness a pause In the con-
versation to enable her to rush in and
take the floor. The woman Of poise
never fingers after her gOOdby is spo-
ken: never. in fact, under any circum-
stances talks long while standing. She
does not experience The difficulty too
many people have Of taking leave
gracefully. She says goodby. gives
you bright smile. and Is Off to the
pleasure Of duty which awaits her
You do not find out all there is to know
about the woman the first time you
meet her. You become acquainted
with her by degrees and grow gradu-
ally into her friendship.

The sink Brush.

A correspondent writes: "For years
we have been studying the problem of
sink brushes. The best we could do
was to take an old whisk broom and
use that. 1t lasted much longer than
any regular sink brush which we could
buy at the store But now we are
happy We have wire sink brush.

have had four of the bristle kind Not

Aiding Baltimore Fire Sufferers.

1t is perhaps proper for congress to
aid the sufferers from the Baltimore
ars by putting building materials to
be used In the burned district on the
free list Similar legislation was pass

however, are suggested by this legisla.

First-If the tariff does not increase
the cost Of building materials. or. in
other words, 'if the foreigner pays the
tariff tax" as the Republicans declare.

Second.--If the removal Of the tariff

BEEF TRUST ARRAIGNED.
an Enemy of Producer and Con.u~.
er Denounced by Wade Of Iowa.

." h'nemy Of Producer and Con.u~
er denounced by Wade Of Iowa.
Congressman Wade, Iowa's on,v
democrat In congress, strongly de-
nounced the methods Of Chicago meat
packers during the debate In the
mousse He began by calling attention
~ the statement Of the attorney gen
eral that No complaint has been made
about violation Of Judge Grosscup's
injunction prohibiting the pack ers
from acting In concert
II there was bottle Of beer In the
country that had not paid the tax or II
q Kentucky mountaineer chose to dis
Till little whisky without a license,
Judge Wade said. there was always an
officer Of the government on hand to
report the fact. Although it was no
tOr1OuS that the beef trust was still
In existence in defiance Of public senti-
ment, the department did not lift
hand. He characterized the excuse
given that nothing could be done un-
al. A government agent could find all
the complaint he wanted if he went
into the country beyond the Missis-
slppi.
Judge Wade told Of the orga anization
now being formed in Iowa which will
| soon be extended into Nebraska, Min
! neSOta and surrounding states to fight
the beef trust. 1t Is composed Of farm
ers, meat dealers and business men
who are suffering under exactions Of
the meat trust, which Is fixing the low
est prices for buying cattle and charg
| ing exorbitantly for meat. Steers fed
on forty cent corn and bringing low
prices at the Chicago stockyards are
! being sold to downtown restaurants
| In the form Of steaks on the basis Of
from 1S to 20 cents per pound. That
| fact alone. Judge Wade declared, was
| sufficient evidence that the beef trust
was still In operation
Meanwhile the case Of the govern
! ment against the trust is now pending
in the supreme court on appeal by the
defendants and will not be reached
for at least year, Mr.. Wade said, al,
though the attorney general could ask
| for its advancement under the law
passed In the Fifty eighth congress.
Mr. Wade told q story that convulsed
the house when he said:
II went into Chicago restaurant
to dine. ordered a sirloin steak
| The waiter asked me if | didn't want
onions with the steak told him that
I did not that / was going to the thu
ater and that l didn't want anytN!.ls

The walter looked at me pltyi:..35.y' for

The Ideal Manner.

The ideal manner Is dillicult to de
scribe. 1t should be lively, but not
ioud; self possessed. but not self con
scious; stately but not stiff; friendly.
but not fulsome. and pleasant but not
pedantic, 1t should have the dignity
of the past combined with the modern
democratic note Of twentieth century
existence. A perfect manner is born,
not made, but much can be done to
train oneself up to the standard de-
sired.

KEEPING ORDER.
United States War Vessel Preve hts An
Attack On Russian Cruiser

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-Shanghai was
thrown into fever Of excitement Sun
day afternoon by the arrival of a jap
anese torpedo boat which was sight
ed coming in from the south at half
past o'clock. She passed Woosung
at full speed and started up the river
Ju for Shanghai. The United States
torpedo boat destroyer Chauncey Slip
ped her cable and followed the Jap
anese destroyer. The Japanese boat
was cleared for action. She anchored
on the Cosmopolitan dock where the
Russian cruiser Askold is undergoing
repairs. The Chauncey came to an
Choir between the dock and the Japan
ESQ destroyer. A foreign pilot ship
reports having seen a Japanese bat
tleship and two cruisers cruising co
miles outside Of Woosung.
There are at present no Chinese
men-of-war In this port, but the taotai
has telegraphed that a Chinese cruis-
er be sent Immediately. The Russian
consul general here fatty refuses to
disarm the Askold and the Russian
torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi or to
order them to leave the harbor
The taotai has notified American
Consul Coodnow, who is dean of the
consular body, that China can not pro-
tect the foreign settlements. He con-
tends that Russia ignores the orders
issued by China and that China has
not the means Of making her obey
them.
Consul Goodnow has called a meet
Ing OF the consular body to take joint
action for the protection Of foreign
inhabitants.
Che Foo. Aug. 22.-With the excep-
ton Of Chinese vessels, the United
States cruiser Cincinnati and the Unit
ed States gunboat Frolic are the only
warships at present in this port. They
are ready to send men on shore ut
moments notice should occasion re-
quire it. The fear of trouble, how
ever, is remote. The foreign consuls
and others in authority were inter
viewed Sunday by correspondent on
the matter Of serious trouble and all
united In saying that nothing has oc-
CURED so far to give reason to expect
trouble. The situation Is absolutely
quiet.
London. Aug %. = The London
morning newspapers Monday show a
disposition to reserve their opinion
on the Shanghai incidents. The Stand
ard, in an editorial however, says:
THE spirited and energetic action
Of the American authorities must
move our admiration, not unmixed
with envy. The British public would
be glad to know where our powerful
China squadron is at this moment and
what 1t is doing and why the lead in
defending Chinese neutrality should
be surrendered tamely to the Ameri-
cans. The foreign office might well
take example from the WASHINGTON
state department"

preme lodge of Knights Of Pythias Fri
day decided to hold their next bien-
NAL encampment in New Orleans,
which won by vote Of 80 to Al. The
encampment will be held the third
Tuesday In September. 1906.
The supreme lodge has adopted new
uniforms and equipments for all Off
GERS Of the Pythian army, except gen.
eral officers and the officers of the
general staff. The uniforms adopted
are practically the same as worn by
the officers of the United States army
The full dress uniform for all regi-
mental officers and members of the
rank has been discarded. The regu-
lar fatigue uniform must be worn by
all companies organized and mustered
in from and after the PRONUNCIATION
OF the revision OF the rules and regu-
lations. The changes do not meet
with the approval of the uniform rank
as an entirety, and, had it been left
TO their vote. they would not have
been made. The ruling of the supreme
assembly, however, is final.
The Rathbone Sisters have voted
to discontinue the insurance feature.
The Rathbone Sisters completed the
major portion of their program for
the biennial encampment, knights Of
Pythias, with the election of officers.
The following were chosen:
Lydia A. Monroe. Riverside, Cal.
supreme chief; Anna NJ Young, Zanes-

tress of finance; Mrs. Clara l.. Saw
yer. Montana, supreme protectress;
Mrs. Sarah Beecher, Connecticut, su-

with the Pythian Sisterhood announc-
ed that owing to legal difficulties,

not feasible even under existing con-
ditions
