Panorama One Of the Most Beautiful
in the World.


On every side Of us. from our feet to
the golden distance far away, the
world-stretched mountains peak upon
peak. as thick Us junks in Chinese
harbor, and range beyond range in
exhaustible; no sounds OF mortal life
came up inside the rock. while the
river. gentian blue. wound silent in
transparent pools below. The pano-
rama in Japan on splendid summer
day is Impossible to describe to an
English reader who has not been in
the East, for such a one viii read be-
tween the lines the local color n
which he was bred. instead of the
wholly different atmosphere that
heightens the charm of the picture
there-the brilliant. luminous air
which invest our eye with telescope
power and brings the whole landscape
to our feet; while soft suspicion of
silky haze seems to float halo round
each foliage-hidden hill. Switzerland,
too. is a mountain world. but small
compared with this; the entire cen
tent from Innsbruck TO Geneva only
one-fourth the length of this single
island of Japan-a thousand miles of
continuous romance And the quality
of the sunshine is what separates, by
a very wide gulf, a summers day in
these ATTITUDES from one in more
northerly Europe.-Cornhill Magazine.

Handsome Street Gown.

A handsome street gown is of
mauve cloth. A hip yoke formed Of
stitched bands OF cloth fits snugly and
fastens with gold buttons a trife to
the left. The bodice is fashioned
after the same idea. the stitched
straps giving a short-jacket effect,
closing on the side to correspond with
skirt decoration. The sleeves are
similarly treated and the large. loose
pun which falls from elbow is at.
tached to a narrow cuff. The collar is
also made of stitched straps and gold
en- brown satin, the latter being used
for the deep girdle and scarf. which is
finished with brown silk fringe.

The graceful cxecu-
tion of work which is
embarrassing to do.

You may have to cut your conver-
sntion of with an AK II talking to
some subordinate when superior
comes and wishes to see him.
No one can get above irritating
conditions. but every one can live
above being injured by them.
II we are always polite. respectful
and forethoughtful we cannot be in
suited nor irritated.
Your hand may be injured without
the injury reaching your head. Your
conversation may be interrupted. yet
your disposition go quietly on without
a fret.
By collecting examples OF uninter-
rupted good nature under the most
trying circumstances you can satur-
ate yourself with that spirit of self
control which permits you to ride
over the breakers that upset common
people.
The world needs a permanent and
active committee of large member
ship for exhibiting superabundance
Of cheerfulness and to bump against
the discouraged, the fretful. the mel
sncholy and the negative.
Positive happiness is catching Just
as much as bad things. Those who
get the least happiness In this world
are not the ones who have the most
trouble. 7. s. Arthur taught me that
years ago in one of his stories. The
man who has all the good things OF
heaven and the revenge of hell is
worse of than the man full of trou-
ble but in possession of forgiying
spirit
In the first paragraph I use the
words subordinate and superior. A
superior told me last year that he
did not like those words. Can you
suggest words to take their places
Men are beginning to hunt for re-
spectful terms for all classes. Let me
hear from you on this.

How cossaoks Catch Fish.

The Cossacks on some Of the rivers
in Russia have a singular method of
catching the finny tribe In winter
They cut long trench across n river
when frozen and run a net from one
bank to the other; then riding several
miles up the stream they form line
across the frozen surface and gallop
their horses down towards the nets.
The fish, hearing the noise and clatter
of hoofs become frightened, dart in
the opposite direction and are thus
entangled In the net

From a syrup sales
man to the man who
printed the pluck poem-

Some seven years ago ! began col
lecting Ideas on a certain special sub
ject and one day a young man, who
was on the road selling liquid sweet
ness and had become inter ssted in my
collection of thoughts. said to me.
why don't you get that poem in
Wholesale Office on South Water
street,"
Then he told me about Il and I
called at the Wholesale oflce, learned
something about the history of the
verse and copied 1t. Since then II has
gone around the world in various
ways.
A few weeks ago noticed that a
printer had put II on a card and cir
culated It with his compliments. One
day when near his place called ON
him and found that we were Interested
in the same subjects and there is n
chance of our being useful to each
other.
The verse was painted and framed a
quarter OF century ago by a man who
grew business with branches in
many American cities and he placed n
duplicate OF the framed thought in
each Office.
A mine owner told the printer that
he wanted some of the cards for the
young men at his place as some OF
them were easily discouraged Here
are the words slightly changed:
Pluck wins. 1t always wins; though
days be glad and nights be dark 'twixt
times that come and go; still pluck
will win, its average is sure. He gains
the prize who can the most endure.
who faces issues, he who never shirks.
who waits and watches and who al
ways works.

on its back. under the coverlet. One
Sunday morning during the reading
of the lesson. the dove flew swiftly
through an open window into the
church and settled on the rector's
head. Broad smiles spread over the
faces of the elders. and audible filters
came from the youngsters. A gentle
touch sent the bird down to the edge
of the clerks desk below. where II sat
undisturbed.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Dainty Maids Stocks.

A pretty device for keeping the
twentieth century girls white stocks
and starched collars immaculate when
not encircling her fair throat is made
OF a round basket. Line With silk of
delicate hue. with an interlining of
wadding, sprinkled with sachet pow
der. A circular piece of pasteboard
covered and waddcd serves for a lid,
and also as convenient resting place
for the fancy pins worn at the front
and back of the stock collars.

Not Personal.

Speaking of preachers Dean Pigou,
after deprecating personal illusions
from the pulpit. quotes as an example
the story of Scotch parson who
preached a sermon against the sin Of
intemperance in the course of which
he said: 81 don't mean. brethren, to
be personal-it is a great mistake to
be personal in the pulpit-but II there
should happen to be an old bald-head-
ed gentleman, late in her majesty's
service. sitting in the northwest gal
lery of this church, let him solemnly
tax II to himself"

For Younu Girls,

number of dances through a season,
and look smartly gowned. for chang
ing the trimming of the waist with
lace bertha. chiffon fichu. or different
artificial flowers, makes the gown look
like new each time. The present fash
ion of wide belts of different colors
helps immensely. too, in changing the
appearance OF a gown; a pale blue
belt instead OF pink and blue flowers
on the waist and a lace bertha instead
OF fchu work wolders.-Harper's

Roses for Hat TrImmlnos.

"A good ostrich fall makes n good
flower spring" is an old saying with
milliners. and the spring of 1904 Will
bear out the truth of this statement.
Roses promise to take the lead. The
tiny button variety. in single and dou-
BILE garlands, edge the brims, enclrcle
the crowns or otherwise trim the hats.
Medium size roses are used as garni-
ture in single or double wreaths. and
large roses are often used singly.
When the large flower is employed
tiny green leaves bordering the brims
make a charming effect.

STYLES In Sleeves.

The sleeve. made of thin material,
and differing from that of the gown.
is seen in the latest imported models.
This is sometimes the full sleeve OF
lace in a silk or crepe gown. Again,
1t may be of net. spangled or plain,
and of an entirely different color from
that of the rest of the costume. Hang
ing sleeves of chiffon inside others of
silk are very stylish and effective for
ball costumes.

Smart Little sprinu Goats.

The spring coats are broadcloth or
velveteen, the long. plain sacque
style. single-breasted and without col
lars. And the hats are moderately
low. round corners and wide brlms.
and are often gardens of tiny flowers
or fields of waving ribbon loops. Black
chip will be much worn with all colors
of dresses and for all occasions. Sail
ors have the wide, ur-curving brim
and are most often of fine straw.

old-Fashioned Fancy Revived.

An old-fashioned fancy which has
been revived again is the darned net
one. A pretty table cover was made
from piece of net yard square. A
narrow hem was turned up all around
the edge and covered with a fiat lace
braid. Inside the hem was a simple
darned border.
Cushions of darned net are also
popular. as are center pieces. doilies.
piano scarfs, curtains and portierres.

lmpulcive Generosity Characteristic Of
Great Writer.
One day. walking near Radley, his
attention was caught by group OF
little girls playing in the road and he
went and talked to them. One of them
specially attracted his attention. He
asked her why she was playing in the
dust. Had she no garden at home?
DID she love flowers? What was her
name? And she replied modestly with
wonder in her eyes. On reaching
home he gave orders to his solicitor
to look out for and buy a cottage with
a garden in Radley and have n deed Of
gift made out In the little girls name.
which was done accordingly, and she
full of wonder, with her astonished
parents. entered at once into posses
sion of it.-kuskin in oxford.

Dainty unlined Waists.

Very dainty waists of pleated chiffon
or crepe de chine are made in the un-
lined style. The pleating is set into a
deep yoke. which falls well over the
top of the shoulder. Bodices of chiffon
also have the pleated part falling
loose in bolero style, and the lower
part of plain chiffon, which is almost
hidden by the frIll.

skirts of Many Patterns.

Skirts are of many patterns. Some
are smooth fitting round the hips. but
into others creeps the Victorian full

the width held in by plaits to the
depth of hip yoke. Some have a fat
yoke and front panel set in, the full
ness starting on the sides at the lower
