BRIGHT RUSSIAN GIRL.
Shows Wonderful Aptitude for Learn ing and Has Entered Mt.
 Holyoke College.

Tyna Eelman, Russian Hebrew i'm migrants daughter, just II years old, who four years ago became a student in West End school in Boston. has en- tered Mount Holyoke college better equipped for success in her student lie than the average college girl.
 Arriving from Russia in 1900, Miss Helman not only mastered the English language, of which she was entirely ignorant, but became so proficient in it and all other branches of study that within four years she passed through the primary aid grammar grades and last June was graduated from the Girls Latin school in Boston at the head of her class
 Because she knew nothing about Eng fish, says the New York Sun Miss Hell man at first was compelled to enter a primary school with children only one third her age. but with the aid Of Rus sian and English dictionaries, which her father provided her with, she swift ly forged ahead. passing through the primary and grammar grades in a sin gle year, for she had acquired in Russia 8 good foundation for future learning,
 From the Wells grammar school. in the West End, Boston, she was grad uated in 1901 and finished the four year course in the Girls Latin school in three years. an uncommon feat. Intending a. drst to go to Boston university for Year, she took the entry examinations. passing six of the required studies with honors, but subsequently, she decided 10 take the full course at Mount Holyoke college. Even now she has made an i'm pression with her instructors, and her friends believe that she will win fresh laurels during her college life.
 Miss Heman's father keeps a little grocery store at 19S Marion street. East Boston. She is the eldest of six chll- dren and is born student. mastering the most difficult studies with the great est ease. She is tall and graceful, of the brunette type, with sqapping black eyes and a countenanee which fairly shines with intellectually.

THE STYLE IN PERFUMES.
To De Up-to-Date You Must Be Very Careful in Their &c.,
 lection.

With respect to perfumes. as in most other things, Dame Fashions particu- lar whim just now is consistency. h England, where most American fash ions have their birth-for Paris fash ions usually come to us by way of London, their earlier market-"Royal Shamrock is the rage just now.
 But whatever your particular fancy may be. having made your choice, you must abide by 1t, at any rate for the day, which, in this fickle age, is quite a long time
 Everything about you. your toilet water and soap, your boudoir. your gowns, your notepaper and envelopes, even your lap dog. must be perfumed accordingly. Indeed, if you want to display your complete subseryience to Fashions autocratic decrees. you will hang locket containing the selected perfume on your chain. The only con solation you have is that tomorrow you may change your policy. and shed delicate perfume of. say, altar of roses, around you.
 To some this fashion may seem rath- CT irksome, says the New York World Many women like to change their scents with their frocks, but they must take heart of grace in the thought that things might be much worse, and probably will be some day.
 Consistency has at least one merit it is easy. For instance, you de- eide that tomorrow shall be Sham rock day; there is, at any rate. the satisfaction of having only one per fume to think about at time.
 Many women like to be known by a peculiar scent. just as the countess was in Diplomacy" though it was thought less of her to leave such distinct proof of her fair fingers having handled a stolen dispatch.
 Queen Victoria favored lavender wa ter, almost the only celebrated scent in which England is preeminent. Nova days it is unfashionable. and We draw all our most fragrant essences from Italy. the south of France, and even India. Ex-Empress Eugenie, again, has all a Spaniard's love for strong perfumes her fayorites being lemon, verbena and sandalwood
 Princess Christian has suecumbed to the fascination of Shamrock" and like wise Nine Rejane and Mme. Calve; but Mime. Sarah Bernhardt clings persist ently to her beloved Niolettes de Parme
 The empress of Russia is said to spend SlO.O00 year on perfumes, paste. soaps and toilet waters. which she has sent to her exclusively from the French capita.. Violet is her majesty's favorite scent to her taste in perfumes is so catholic and general that every day she vaporizes the royal apartments with the concentrated essences of lilac. jasmine. narcissus. jon quill, tuberose and white violets

HISTORY OF THE MUFF.
A Decree of the French King Once De- termined the Colors and
 the Furs.

Do you know that the color of a mun once betokened the rank of the wear err" said furrier the other day as he stroked a beautiful sealskin nun When the huff first came to us from France, in the days of Charles K, no lady could have worn this fur, for black was deereed by the king to be the badge of the common people and the court fol- lowers were restricted to the colors Muffs have gone through more styles than it would seem possible to invent for such a simple article of convenience They have been long and narrow and, again, large and round. One of the most curious styles was that of Louis XIV, called the chiens mauchons. be- cause they were made to convey little dogs in.
 The muif when first introduced was the exclusive property of the nobility. These mufIs were very small and con sisted of single piece of velvet bro cade or silk lined with fur and the open ings fastened with rich jewels. Such arrangements came in during the early part of the seventeenth century.
 We now associate the muff only with cold weather. but in the old days it was regular part of woman's dress and was carried at all times"

NEW RIBBONS FOR WINTER
ness of the Broad Silk Weaves.

The new ribbons have taken to them selves all the softness and sheerness that characterize the broad silk weaves and the printinss in the dull and faded tones that are seen on the expensive erepes, gauges and chiffons are all re- produced in the ribbons. In fact, some houses are making a special feature oi broad silks and ribbons in the very same designs, and delightful note of color contrast is introduced in the latter in the way Of borderings.
 Ribbons broad and ribbons narrow as well as those of medium width, all find novel applications upon the dressy gowns. With printed centers the bor- ders are often in two shades of a con- trasting color, and these borders are in green, rose. blue, brown and violet. ac- cording to the color scheme of the gown. Some exquisite ribbons are shown with metallic gold border, just the same weave as appears on the military uni forms of those of high rank, and a beautiful effect is thus given to a one color gown.

PITH AND POINT.

Lots of worthy people are not popu-
lar. There's your case, for example.
Talk about rut all you please, some
men are never any good out of one.
The second time q man calls on a
clever girl she tells him she knows his
step.
Youth deals in fancy; age, in facts.
All false teeth are made to look too
young
Before saying that you think forty
is old remember there may be some
one present who is at least forty-one.
You are getting old when people be-
gin to say that you have money hidden
around somewhere. They never accuse
the young of hiding money.
There is a saying "Get busy" 1t ap-
plies to idle, shiftless men. But there
should also be saying Get lazy" 1t
would apply with force to some men
who work too much.-Atchison Globe.

he looks up at you with great satisfac-

laughs. He argued to Sumner the
whole case Of Gordon, the slave
trader, point by point, and added that
he was not quite satisfied yet, and

The Only Preparations General Tay'
Ior Made For Defeat.
Santa Anna was the greatest military
leader the Mexicans have ever known,
Santa Anna with $4,000 veterans went
to the battle Of Buena Vista with the
avowed purpose Of exterminating the
entire army of the United States, and
there was no doubt in the mind of
Santa Anna that this great feat could
be accomplished with comparative
ease. General Taylor, with his 5000
men, prepared for the unequal contest
and not only defended himself success
fully, but won a substantial victory
from his aggressive antagonists and
drove them from the battlefield Of
Buena Vista.
and the Mexican war concluded Gen.
eral Taylor was criticised for having
made no preparations for the retreat
of his army in the event Of defeat.
General Taylor promptly replied; 81
made every preparation necessary for
the battle of Buena Vista. wrote my
will, and so did nearly every man in
my army. If we had not won that
battle. we would have needed no lines
of retreat. 1t was, from our stand
point, victory or humiliation. The only
preparation necessary for the contin
gency of defeat at Buena Vista was
that we should write our wills"
