Value of a Sun Parlor.

Many know by experience that the
relief afforded by the suns rays to cure
pain-neuralgic and inflammatory-
is more effective and lasting than that
OF any application whatever. Those
who have face ache should prove it for
themselves by sitting in a sunny win
dow, where the warmth falls full on
the cheek.
For nervous debility and insomnia
the treatment of all others is rest in
sunshine. There is no tonic like it
provided the good effects are not
neutraliZed by i'll feeding. To restore
a withered arm, palsied or rheu-
matte limb, or to bring a case of nerv-
Gus prostration up speedily, a most eff
ficient part of the treatment would be
to expose the limb or the person to as
many hours of direct sunlight as the
day would afford. With weak lungs
let the sun fall full on the chest for
hours
For the chilliness which causes blue
hands and bad color resort to the sun:
let it almost blister the skin, and the
circulation will answer the attraction.
1t is finer stimulus than wine, cleo
tricity or massage, and we are on the
verge Of great therapeutic discoveries
concerning it.

The Cynic is Respected.


One of the seeming waywardnesses
of our human nature is the respect for
cynic that turks in nearly every
heart The respect is not for his
character, certainly not for his dis
position; but it goes out to him as a
man of intellect, and is often dis
proportionate to his ability. To hear
that man is cynical is to accept HIM
as of superior intelligence. There is a
universal Difference TO what is uni.

desirable attitude of mind The en-
trance of the cynic into the drawing
room produces an air of expectant in.

received as admirable wit So, at
least, according 10 the contemporary
novels of society; SO. even.--though
in a somewhat less obvious and arti-
fetal manner,-accordi to ones own
observation. We all find more in
.teresting the person who discusses his
friends failings than him who dwells
upon his friends virtues. We do not
like the cynic better, but we regard
him as the more penetrating and the
better informed.--Arthur Stanwood

4 CURE FOR LYNCHlNG.

OF remedies, the most notable yet
proposed is that advocated by Justice
David J Brewer. In cases of capital
crime he would have the nearest judge
convene court as early as possible for
the trial of the accused. He would
abolish appeals in all criminal cases,
but would allow the prisoner TO sub
nit at once to the supreme court a
stenographic report of the evidence
taken.-a new trial to be granted

that the wrong man had been con-
victed. but never new trial for mere
violation of legal technicalities. We

DANCER Of Hiuh Heels.

Since the accident to a French
countess through the wearing of high
heeld shoes their merits and demerits
have been discussed by several French
women's papers.
Sarah Bernhard, who was inter-
viewed on the subject, says: High
heels are exquisite fer the woman who
knows how to wear them. Every one
does not know how A happy medium
must be struck. can see no reason in
the world why there should be any
danger from wearing high heels. The
great argument in their favor is that
they are prettier than low ones"
A shoemaker famous for his Louis
XIV. heel, has also written upon this
all-impcrtant topic Some women -
he says. ARE content with the heel
moderately high, but many of them
of fiat heels gasp.
I'VE sell a great many 21a inches
high. A heel of that measurement
looks something like stile, for to have
any style about it it must be very
slender and curved The high heel
certainly throws woman somewhat
out of balance unless the shoe is
properly manufactured but if the front
of the foot rests well on the ground
as it should in a properly Louis
XIV shoe-the danger is we'll over
come
Doctors, of course. consider high
heels most harmful and women who
have much walking exercise have long
since given them up. But So long as
the high-heeled shoe reduces the APP
parent size CT the foot and increases
the height of the wearer. the vanity of
women will prevent its Punishment

One of the most startling OF Mrs.

that looks almost like "a fancy candy
box. 1t is circular and ostensibly is a
toque The only trimming is mar
row line of gilt and a tinted aigrette.
Mrs. Oelrichs' walking suit of pale
lavender panne velvet is made with a
short skirt. but nevertheless it is a
most elaborate gown. Her hat is a
turban of soft folds of panne velvet
There is a dash Of lace hanging like
a veil over one side. a plume is pois

ciasped with pearl ornament, But
most fetching of all these hats Is
Mrs. Oelrichs' cavalier hat that she
wore so often early III the autumn
This military affair was beavcr OF a
chocolate brown shade. Both sides
were turned up and. fastened with
gilt ornaments. Down the center was
a cleft filed with a sweeping ostrich

The Public to Blame.

But the public is To blame i'm the
case Of mushroom companies quite as
much as misguided or dis
honest promoters. If they pass
by conservative companies and
safe investments to seize upon
glittering offers of speculative
stocks by mushroom institutions. who
is to stay them out or retrieve their
errors, so long as those who jeluJe
them keep barely within the line of
indictable fraud? 1t is the same old
story which has been told many times
in periods of expanding trade. The
public fail to discriminate between
those securities which are proper for
trust investments and those whose
low prices are determined by the
very fact that they are speculative.
Each successive generation in period
of prosperity and ascending prices
seems to forget the fundamental rule
of finance, that the return upon
security is inversely to its sarety.
To those financiers who inculcate this
rule they turn a deaf ear, and the
latter are perforce compelled to drift
with the current or see themselves
stranded without clients or profits

other parts Of Europe today. Spain
took the bulk of the crop at high prices
and Cuba bought largely. After the war
Spain put such a tariff on Porto Rlcan
coffee that we lost that market. and
the Cuban tariff kept us out of that
country. At the same time a corre-
