Keep erect, keep cool, keep absolute
~ clean. take plenty of exercise in the
open air. breathe with your mouth
shut, live on simple food, keep regular
hours for work, rest, recreation and
meals, and you will keep well and
preserve the beauty of both face and
figure.
A beautiful face is not necessarily
one with perfect features, but 1t must
be bright and animated with a clear
and healthy complexion. Health is
the first requirement.; without good
health, a clear complexion and bright
eyes are impossible, and beauty with
out these, though the features be
classical in outline, is worthless. In
many instances facial beauty and
beauty Of form are within ones own
grasp, but can be possessed only by
those willing TO work for them.

The peril of the man who had fallen

Of the most expert astrologers in the

The date being agreed upon, the
grandmother of the girls set about

such a quartet had been picked from
the local swells. the astrologers We're
again called upon, this time to ap-
prove or disapproye the choice. There
was great consulting of horoscopes
and the wise men gave their consent.
Finally, the State erected a gor-
geous pavilion, and in this the four
couples were married, the actual cere-
mony consisting in the tying of a
necklace around the neck of the bride
by the groom, in the presence of the
Brahmin priest and relatives, after
which there was four days celebra-

Pnrsued hx a BrIeand.

When the grapes are ripenlng In
the Tyrol, men called saltners are sta
toned in the vineyards to guard the
fruit. Local custom allows them to
levy a toll upon the passer-by. who is
then free to gather as many punches
as he will. Wonderful is the dress of
the saltner his head crowned with
fur and feathers, and his broad chest
ornamented by the tusks Of wild boars.
He carries a spear, and behind him
runs a very sharp-looking dog, who
'yaps" at the approach of intruders.
One day, writes a lady from Meran,
an Englishwoman invaded a vineyard
here and began her slow, duck-like
walk up the slope. Suddenly from
the vines before her emerged the salt
ner. and began firmly but quite re-
spectfully to explain that she must pay
her footing" before she could go on.
But he was not allowed to proceed.
The lady uttered three shrieks, in quick
succession, threw something at him
and fed. Down the steep and rugged
footway she ran, while the man,
amazed, doffed his plumes, passed his
hand over his bewildered forehead
and then stopped to pick up her mis-
sile.
He examined it; he roared after her
to return, and then, as she paid no at
tention, he set forth In hot pursuit.
Faster and faster they flew until,
reaching the leading thoroughfare of
Meran. the saltner dropped into a
walk, although still keeping the wom-
an in sight
She reached the hotel. and more dead
than alive, flung herself on the hall |
porter's shoulder, explaining in gasps |
that she had only gone out for little |
walk, and had met the most frightful |
brigand.
HE chased me-" she cried, "even
though l had flung him my purse at |
once! ! never knew l could run so
fasty'
Meantime the honest saltner ap-
peared, to return the mad ladys purse.
He left 1t with the concierge and then
to his vines, a bewildered
man. He could not grasp the con-
cierge's explanation that his feathers
had frightened the lady; for were not
those very feathers what his own peo-
pie most admired? He could only re-
member having many times heard
that all the English are mad.

Lace and velvet ribbon are used 70
a great extent ON gowns of this sea-
son.
The collars of the new spring jack
cts are all Aiglon in design, and very
stylish in effect.
Wide crepe de chine ties are stylish,
but those of satin are very narrow to
wear with linen collars.
Many of the new spring suits are
made with double skirts, but this
fashion is very trying to any but a
slim and graceful figure.
Crepe de Paris win form one of the
very fashionable textiles for the max
ing Of empire and other picturesque
evening toilets for the summer.
Many of the new gowns show the
tablier front, and they are very ef-
fective made of silk muslin, shirred
in many rows down from the waist
and rutfied across the bottom.
A pretty fat hat is of turquoise vel
vet made entirely of tiny ruffies. The
brim is raised from the face in front,
with a spray Of green silk leaves on
the edge and black rose on top.
A very chic little black hat Is of
tucked tulle over silver gauze. The
shape is a modified Spanish turban,
and the only trimming is a big soft
black silk rose with some green leaves
laid along the brim.
Batiste and silk muslin frocks. the
pure white trimmed with yellow lace,
are among the novelties. They are all
moderately close about the hips. and
flare at the foot, where there are
countless ruties and fiounces to make
them stand out.
Mercerized sateens, which very
closely resemble satin foulard. and
soft silk and linen mixtures In dainty
colorings, striped, dotted, and plain Of
surface, are among the favored ma
terials for shirt waists Cor morning
wear this spring.
There is tendency to close shirt
waists on the side. A series of tiny
straps buckled serve nicely for this
purpose. Sometimes the pleat is at
tached to a bodice to button over on
one side. When the garment closes
on one side the collar band also fast
ems In the same manner.

One of the seasons novelties will
be the princess skirt, which Is just
being brought out by the leading
shops and dressmakers. How trying
this design IS most women know to
their sorrow, and there will not be
much rejoicing at the return of the
princess. Nevertheless, It is here, and
number Of spring frocks are made
up in this design. When the gown is
all Of one shade or material and is
for house or evening wear, the prin-
cess is a pretty, graceful design. but
for the street or a separate skirt, it
is neither graceful nor effective.

Sister Planets.
An important paper (the joint work
of Professor Dewar of the Royal In
stitution. and Professor Liyeing, Cam
bridge University was read yesterday
before the Royal Society.
1t dealt with the spectrum of the
more volatile gases of atmospheric air
which are not condensed at the tenn
perature of liquid hydrogen. Tubes
filled with gas which had passed
through the U tube showed on spark
ing no spectrum Of nitrogen. of argon
or of carbon, but showed the spectra
of hydrogen. helium and neon brilliant
ly, as well as a great many less bril-
liant rays of unknown origin. In ad-
dition, they showed at first the bright
est rays of mercury, derived no doubt.
from the mercury pump by which they
had been exhausted before the admis-
sion of the gases from the liquifed air.
In one experiment the mixture of
gases in a vessel into which a fraction
Of the llquified air was distilled was
pumped out without being passed
through the U tube in liquid hydrogen,
and the mixture was found to contain
forty-three per cent. of hydrogen, six
per cent of oxygen and fifty-one per
cent. of other gases, and it was ex-
plosive when mixed with more oxy-
gen. This, according to the learned
professors, shows concluslvely that
hydrogen in sensible proportions exists
in the earth's atmosphere. They con-
lecture that there must be a con-
tinued accession Of hydrogen to the
from inter-pIanetary
space; and they cannot resist the con-
clusion that a similar transfer of
gases must also take place.
Other exhaustive examinations led
them to believe that they might find
the substance which is luminous in
nebulae to be really present In the
earth's atmosphere, and they hoped
shortly to be able to verify the obser-
Tation of it.-London Chronicle.

has just succeeded in getting safely
through the hostile country, taking his
treasure, to the value of $1,000, with
him. To secure this he devised the in

ing them securely on the outside Of a
box and covering the whole with a
thick coating Of brown paint. The
Beers apparently did not think the box

alley, near Third and Fitzwater

was a slide on it, Tired, after sliding
awhile, they walked slowly up the al

along which they did not hear. The
horse knocked Louise down, and in n
second she lay directly in the track Of
