HUMAN RAY THEORY.
Character shown by Their Color, Says a
 Refanfisk


 New York, Nov. 12.--Experiments mum bering over three hundred, conducted over term of three years have formed the sub feet matter for a communication from a physiciau to a welI-known medical jour nal says a Herald dispatch from London. to the effect that the rays emitted by the hu' man body differ in color according to the character and temperament of the person. The following particulars are given by the writer:
 "The rays emanating from very passion ate man have e deep red hue; one whose keynote in life is to be good and to do good throw off pink rays: the ambitious man emits orange rays; the deep thinkers deep blue; the lover of art and refined surround mgs. yellow; anxious, depressed person. gray One who leads q low, debased life. throws off muddy brown rays; devotional good meaning person. light blue; a progress sive minded one. light green. and physi- cally or mentally III one. dark green"
 The doctor admits that his theory is apt to be received with lneredulity and amuse- ment but he asserts that it is strengthen ed by the fact that the color sense of the human race was many thousands of years In reaching its present stage of develop ment.

The Act of the Legislature, approved septamber aoth. 1908, gave the Cover nor the authority to have omcers elected to positions in the Aiabama National Guard examined by "a miii- tary board to consist of not less than three members, who shall have power to compel the attendance of witnesses administer oaths and take testimony as fs possessed by general courtmar- tials. touching the applicants capaci- ty. general qualifications and knowl- edge of military affairs. proportionate to the requirements of the ofice to which he has been elected" This pro- vision of the military law was not. en- forced by the Governor until after the at Huntsville made 1t ab- soiutely necessary to uphold and maintain the prestige of the Alabama
 militia. The Governor, on recommen- dalton of the military board. resolved
 to strictly enforce the law and issued an order that no commissions issue to any officer in the Alabama National
 Guard. except upon certificate as to capacity and general qualifications by an examining board. Since that order
 was issued Lieutenant Colonel Hughes B. Kennedy of the 3rd Infantry. and Captain George D. Waller. Company H.,
 3rd Regiment have been examined and commissioned. They are the first officers to stand the examination. The new rule is very popular with the rank and file of the Alabama
 Guard. as the men recognise the me-
 cessity and importance of having only
 officers qualified and fit to command
 them.

The system of examination adopted by Generals Ligon and Holt, the first board under the new law, was not very rigid, but the question related mainly to the State laws and the du- ties and requirements of the militia under them-
 The examination is not intended to be rigid or to work any hardships up- on any one; but it is intended to reach, through the answers of the applicant to the questions propounded. a general idea of his capacity and general knowl- edge of military rules and regulations and his fitness to control and command 2 body of men. This is the main pur- pose and intent of the law. and the ex- amining boards, whoever and where ever they may be raised, will hardly require any more of the applicant.
 It Is not expected. as a rule. that those elected to the offices in the Ma tional Guard will be fully posted in the manual of drill regulations and general tactics, which can only be ac- quired by continual practice. but. as the law indicates. to reach a concM- sion as to the applicants capacity, general qualifications and knowledge of military affairs"

Captain A. D. Pace, who has been
 elected Captain of Company F., 1st
 Regiment. is the only applicant for a
 commissioned office now awaiting the
 appointment of g. board to be examfn-
 ed. He was summoned before the
 board that examined Colonel Kenne-
 dy and Captain Waller, but he was
 engaged in court and could not attend
 at that time. He will appear before
 the next board appointed. and those
 who know of his record do not doubt
 that he will stand most creditable and satisfactory examination.
 The company which he has been se-
 lected to command. has been made,
 under the administration of Captain J. w Sanders, who was compelled to resign, for business reasons. one of
 the very best and most efficient in the entire Alabama Guard. and it is con- fidently expected that Captain Pace will keep 1t up to its present high standard.
 This company went to Manassas, commanded by Major Williams, Capt. Sanders being unable to go at the last moment. It was made up as a provis- ional company of attachments from Company H., of Troy. and of the main body from the home company. The recent pamphlet of military laws issued by the Adjutant General. in which are compiled all the laws of the State relating to and regulating the Alabama National Guard have been found to be very convenient. and Gen eral Brandon Is being highly praised

cases, glove cases, opera bags, nail nip
)ers, ETC., ETC., and the profound and
weighty laws and measures enacted by
that body.
The contingent fund of the senate for
the last fiscal year ending June 80,
1903, covered expenses of $1,419, $50. 335,
and a glance through the pages of the
itemized report brings many singular
items to light, ranging in variety and
value from the good, old-fashioned
quill toothpichs to the latest thing in
the fashionable world, the wrist bag,
one more choice and artistic than it's
fellows costing $1,000. Just which one
of the senator's of aesthetic tastes is
wearing this gorgeous article we are
not able to say, but that he is the envy
of all the other senator's it is quite safe
to imagine. majority of the senators
must be addicted to the wrist bag hab-
1t, for 55 of these handy adjuncts to
craftsmanship were purchased during
the year. They ranged in price from
80 cents to the $1,000 one aforemention-
ed. 1t is probable that some new and
unsophisticated member was put off
with the cheap 90-cent bag.
With the demand for wrist bags
came the need of pocketbooks, of which
III were purchased, ranging in price
from nine cents to more expensive
article of SLABS. Now, inasmuch as
there are only 80 members of the SEN
ate, some of the more opulent Of them
must require two pocketbooks to con-
tain their ready cash. Five chatelaine
bags were purchased, ranging in price
from $3.25 to 1920. 1t took ia card
cases to satisfy the demands, and some
of them must have been magnificent,
for it took s16.75 right out of Uncle
Sans bank to pay for the most ex-
pensive one
But if we let you into all the singu-
lar secrets of the contingent fund we
must hurry on. Here are lot OF
items taken at random, and they are
only few among the many: Pastur-
ing horses, $lOS.26; gallons of meats
foot oil, mustang liniment, gargling oil
axle grease, tons of timothy and clover
hay, meal. middlings. bran, etc., all
these items clearly indicating that
some senators at least enjoy good
horseflesh and want it well taken care
of. Photo mailers, nearly 400; five
handkerchief cases, photo frames, eight
and one-half dozen Rogers table
knives. scores upon scores of paper
weights and thermometers. % coir
boxes, IA whole hides. $92.97.

of the senator's was closely looked after

greed of the Russian Bear must stop be-
fore it has cast the shadow of it's hoary
paw over all that semiconscious nation,
nation worse than helpless, on the
mainland that means to Japan life, fu-
ture, opportunity, prosperity.
AS a matter of necessity, Japan has
set up Monroe doctrine of her own in
Asia. The little empire is not large
enough for the awakened activities of
its people, and there must be room for
commercial expansion. Long before
Japan was awakened by Commodore
Perry and his followers, Yernak had
crossed the Ural mountains and the
Russian Bear began his migration east
ward. Before Japan had awakened he
had reached the Pacific and found-a
sea of ice. He tarried there, and it was
not until Japan had awakened and
rubbed the sleep of centuries from her
eyes that he tired of his sea of ice and
began casting covetous chances south
ward to an open sea. Those glances in

Tulle in many shades Of yellow or Of
pink, one thickness over another, is
selected for many evening frocks, and
the shaded tulles and chiffons are great
ly liked.
The fichu is more and more in evil
dence, and nothing makes a prettier
fichu than white mousseline and creamy
valenciennes several inches in depth
Ready-made fichues are for sale in the
shops, and some of them are dainty and
fine, but they are seldom cut exactly
according to ones requirements, and
any fichu needs very skillful and artistic
adjustment by means of folds and plaits
and gathers.
Flat surplice pieces of real lace in the
heavier varieties appear upon many of
the new evening bodices, bordering q
V shaped decolletage and crossing sur
plice fashion in front. The lace is broad
upon the shoulders and tapers toward
the points, and this shape is newer and
more desirable than the cape collar.
The surplice idea Is carried out in
many ways and on everything from
street gowns to evening toilets. One ex-
preston of it developed in many ma
terials is Illustrated in the gray chiffon
velvet frock sketched here, whose bodice
is almost entirely covered by surplice
pelerine of heavy lace bordered by
bands of chinchilla fur.

us with it's multiplicity Of design and
elaborateness
And speaking Of these gowns let us
look at the colors. Pale blue is preemi-
nently the color for use with the omni-
present moleskin, although some shades
of yellow and orange furnish an excel
lent relief to the soft darkness of the
fur. and a moleskin toque trimmed in
marigolds shading through the yellows
and orange is thing to conjure with
Yellow is one of the dominant color
notes this winter, especially in the
realm of evening and house attire, and
some Of the shades are remarkably beau
tiful. Banana is favorite shade, par
ticularly in the soft velvets, and is not
so trying as many of the yellows.
Pineapple is another popular yellow,
and there is a new golden yellow which,
while not universally becoming, has an
exquisite warmth and softness, especial
ly when used in many thicknesses of
chiffon. This golden yellow IS charming,
too, in the Iustrous satins, and some OF
the Understandable milliners are us
ing soft gold yellow felts or beavers, or
shapes covered with many folds of gold
yellow chiffon and almost invariably
trimmed in dark fur or velvet.

| stiff linen hem is joined to the collar
with open work, and altogether it is
linen collar of distinctly coquettish
type that is with us now.
In Paris the stiff linen collar, slightly
pointed at the bottom in front and open
ing in the back, where it fastens with
two jeweled studs, has found much IA
vor
Severe mannish ties are often worn
with these collars, but the preference is
for soft scarfs, and the day of masculine
feminine attire seems, at least for the
moment, to have gone by.
A bewildering array of scarfs in soft
silk and in crepe is offered, and these are
either tied in loose bow knot with long
floating ends or tied once in small bow
knot and then knotted loosely again at
the bust line. Many of the crepe scarfs
are fringed, and few of the silk scarfs
also have fringed ends, but the prettiest
of the silk scarfs for ordinary wear are
in foulard or very supple surah with
bandanna, scroll or DOT designs in con-
trasting color.
Dark blue and light blue is favorite
combination, dark blue with design in
white and black, in white and red, or in
white and light blue is popular; red
scarfs have white and black designs, and
there are daring combinations of dark
blue, white, black and orange, which
might be most effective with certain
blouses.
The silk stocks are legion, and an at
tempt to describe them would be futile
Hand work is, of course, the keynote of
the more elaborate type, but these fussy
silk or chiffon and lace stocks are much
less practical than their less pretentious
kindred, and seldom finish dressy
blouse satisfactorily, while they are GER
tainly out of place with blouse of any
other kind.
With the dressy blouse 1t is necessary
that the stock should look like an in
tegral part of the blouse, and as the ready
made fussy stocks seldom achieve this
effect it is far better to have stock
made to order to match the blouse.

for wear with tailor blouses and under

row stiff linen turnovers are also used
with these stocks and are arranged to
button upon them so that there need be
no annoying pinning.
Tailor stocks of plaid taffeta, piped
with white, are among the new things
and are very attractive when worn with
plain blouse in one of the colors pre-
dominating in the plaid.
A set of little gold or jeweled cuff and
collar pins is almost indispensable for
wear with stocks and turnovers.
