Monks Who Wear Curl Papers.

The finest choir in the world Is that of
the Cathedral of Alexander Nevski in ST.
Petersburg, which is attached to a convent
built in honor of the patron saint of Rus
STA.
There are about thirty choristers, all Of
whom monks, who have been chosen
from among the best singers in the various
monasteres throughout the country.
When, as sometimes happens, specially
good voice Is found among the novices, the
owner of it is sent to the monastery Of
Alexander NeVski, and there he receives as
careful a training as would be given to an
opera singer. Afterward he remains at the
monastery and his sole duty consists In as
sisting at the music at the mass and at
vespers.
When old age comes the monk retires
with a pension.
The power and sweetness of some of the
voices are perfectly marvellous, and 1t is
stated that some of the members of the
choir can break thin glass into fragments
by singing into it, SO strong are the vibra-
lions of their tones.
All the monks vegetarans, and, In
accordance with the rules of their church,
they their hair long and never shave.
Unlike the generality of Russian monks,
they are very faStidiouS about their ap-
pearance. and indeed, are quite handles in
their way, actually putting their hair and
boards into papers at night to make them
curly and Wavy.

Uses of the Shoe Horn.

From the New York Sun.
He would be but a narrow minded per-
SON." said the salesman, who thought that
the shoe horn was devoted solely to the
pulling on of shoes.
why, l have had persons come in here
who picked out a shoe horn with a blade
that would make 1t convenient implement
with which to eat ice cream. They lived in
boarding house, maybe, where they
hadn't any spoons of their own, or not
enough to go around, and where they
might on some occasion have friendly and
familiar guests. and where they might
bring in ice cream.
Lacking spoons enough, nice silver shoe
horn of the right shape isn't the unhandiest
thing in the world with which to eat Ice
cream, by any means; and / suppose that
more than one has been put to such use.
And l have heard of such a thing as a
shoe horn being used to stir up fudge,
made in chatting dish. And having no
knife. what could you have much handler
than nice thin-bladed silver shoe horn
for cutting up cake at an informal enter
tainment among friends?
"Oh, no. The shoe horn is intended, prf-
marily, no doubt, to be used in pulling ON
shoes; but 1t Is really put to many uses"

WHERE THE TROUBLE COMES.
Supporting "sealskin Wife" on a
s'Muskrat Income"
From the Rutland Va.) News.

From the Rutland CNa.) News.
People celebrate the discovery of a new
fact in nature; they grow eloquent over the
invention of a new piece of machinery;
they heap riches in the lap of the man who
puts on the market a new breakfast food.
Why should they not pay some slight trib-
ute to the author of a new epigram? A
really great epigram Is rarer than the ruby.
The Jewel may be crushed, but the verbal
gem lives forever and defies all the forces
! of decay Its sparkle may never be dimmed.
If the saying expresses a great truth in
few words, if it shines with the CLINT of
homely humor, if its appeal be broad and
general, so may it be decided whether the
epigrammatic Offering be genuine or only a
clever imitation.
Apply these standards to the rough and
uncut. yet precious phrase which lies i'm
bedded In the speech of plain Methodist
minister from the upstate counties of New
York and Vermont delivered the other day
before the conference of his brethren in his
district. He was telling of the hard work
and small pay which are the lot of himself
and his fellows in the poorer districts of
the country. And he closed with this tre-
mendous question: How shall man sup
port a sealskin wife muskrat income?
| The epigram may provoke a smile, perhaps.
but that same question, never before so
well put has vexed many other men in and
out of the ministry. Attempts to answer it
have ended before now in the penltentlary.
1t is that question, If authorities are to be
believed which is responsible for the in
creasing number of bachelors. particularly
in the cities, and for the corresponding in
crease in the number of middle-aged spin
sters 1t is a question which might posi-
bly, be probably debated by some of the
womens clubs.
Are too many girls Of the present day be-
ing reared in way which fits them only
to be "sealskin wives?' And where shall
the young man with a 'muskrat income
look for a proper helpmate?
At any rate, the new epigram cuts deep
and raises serious questions. 1t deserves a
permanent place in the archives of the
English language. alongside that other
| classic but still sparkling, saying which de
scribes the plight of the unfortunate youth
who acquired "a champagne appetite with
a beer income" 1t is its companion piece.

HooPsKIRTs CHoKED RIVER.
Thousands of Them Were Thrown Into
Stream at Kalamazoo.

From the Detroit Tribune.
The Kalamazoo council has under con-
sideraton the dredging of Kalamazoo river
from the city of Cooper distance of sew
eral miles, for the deepening of the bed In
some places and the removal of sandbars
in others The estimated cost of thor
ough job is $4,000, and for half the money
it is believed the situation can be ma
teriaIIy improved and the damage by floods
greatly lessened.
If the dredging is undertaken, particular
attention should be paid to that portion of
the river within the corporation, which has
never recovered, even with times help,
from the choking of the channel received
during the hoopskirt era of forty years
ago, when every cast-off crinoline found
its way to as near the middle of the stream
as a wounded and outraged male member
of the household could throw it. Those
old hoopSkrts are there yet, save the com
paratively few-which are many-raised out
by fishermen with hook and line. They are
there by the thousand, a plague and pes
thence breeder. They have damned the
river and been damned by riversiders.
The merits of these ancient skeleton bal
looms beat brushwood blind for straiDing
water and retaining residuum. All sorts
of floating wood trash found a foothofd and
lodged in them. They became shadows,
and the shadows of pestience for which
the hoopskirts were responsible. All these
antique memories of the maids and mothers
of many years ago should be scooped out
of Kalamazoo and something done to put
them out of action though heaven knows
how it can be done. Possibly a deep pit in
some secluded place would hold them. They
should be planted as near the center of the
earth as possible, lest some scientific re-
searcher for prehistoric remains find and
exploit them as the bones of pre-Adamitic

exclusive and swagger of taffeta gowns are
in the purple shades. A stunning little
frock of this genre-which, by the way, IS
a boon to the summer tourist, as 1t may be
worn at least a dozen times without the
fact becoming apparent-is of soft shad-
owy, purplish plum the jupe box plated
and short. The waist Is Il mass of mauve
chiffon, and a jabot of lace ties in at the
neck with scarf of pale blue tasseled on
the ends. This little harmony of color Is
charming and lends itself with equal grace
to the lace-trimmed hat that accompanies
the gown, which is of mauve rice straw en-
circled with a pale blue ostrich plume.
Lovely Plumes.
We have gone to extremes in the length
of our ostrich feathers this season of grace
and they have reappeared under the most
gorgeous and splendid conditions. They
must be of the best quality and sometimes

fine monster plumes at present enjoying

up at one side to display the curling fasc-
nations of one long ostrich feather shaded
from purple to azure blue. Nothing in the
hat line could have been more becoming
and smart than this harmonious symphony
Of color tones And anent of harmony
some one has said that the clothes of the
! present are composed of a little of every
! thing worked into a harmonious whole -
But how picturesque and satisfying it all
proves! Only yesterday I met a bevy of
! pretty girls in a white motor car arrayed in
white muslin dresses, with adorable f-llled
| capes OF the same fabric and muslin hats
/ bound with ciel blue that tied beneath the
| chin with quantities of narrow blue ribbon.
| Save for the modern note of the motor car
! they might have all stepped out OF Rey-
