Answers to Correspondents.

Florence S-Do not say that you are too old to be pretty. or at any rate attractive. A woman Is never too old for the latter. Take up physical cul- ture to improve your figure and car riage. Take more frequent baths to improve your complexion. Sleep more, worry less and forget that there is anyone in the world whom you dis like, if you would develop a plasant expression. Habitual expression writes lines that are almost indelible after while. You will have youth to era dicate them, but the task can and must be accomplished.

Walk at other times with light dumb bells held so that they will rest upon the shoulders, elbows out at the sides. Walk always with the weight upon the balls of the feet. the heels merely touching the ground. And stop walk ing as soon as the muscles begin to saG from weariness.

Kate Smith.-There is no reason why you should not make your own rose water. if you like. instead of buying it ready prepared. Get some altar of rose: twelve drops will be the required amount. and as 1t is very precious you will not care to purchase much of a surplus. Mix two drams of magnesia with a half ounce powdered sugar; add the altar. Slowly add one quart of dis titled water and two ounces of alcohol. Filter the mixture through a sheet of clean plotting paper.

Enie.-For a throat that seems not seriously affected, merely irritated. there is no simpler way of curing the trouble than by frequent gargling with diluted alcohol-use a tablespoonful of alcohol in a half glass of warm water. You may use this every day or two, gargling thoroughly with it. Learn to throw the gargle very far down your throat. Do not make a practice of bundling up your throat. If you will consistently take a cold sponge bath every morning. in winter as well as summer, rub after 1t until you glow, wear union suit of wool, and walk in the open air without heavy furs at your throat. believe you can get rid of the annoyance.

Mrs. Darlington.-The fruit and ,vege- table stains in the finger nails can be removed by the use of liquid bleach that comes bottled; but l have never found 1t in the least degree more ef- f1cacious than lemon juice. Soak the fingers in soapy warm water, then rub the lemon juice on with a nail brush, which implement. by the way. should not be used frequently.
 L. H. F. good Shampoo Is made by mixing the juice of two lemons with one ounce salts of tarta and a quart of water. The salts of tartar should first be dissilved in the water, which Is warm, then add the lemon juice, strained. There will be a mo- ment of effervescing when the lemon juice and the salts mingle. Wait until this has ceased before using the sham poo. After thoroughly washing hair and scalp. rinse in several clear waters and dry the hair in the sun. You may aid the drying process by rubbing with your hands. but not with a towel, as the lint Is bound to adhere.

Contract Musicians.

A delegation Of musicians called on
the President recently to protest
against the admission of musicians
from a foreign country, under con-
tract, a proceeding which, they claim,
subjects the native musicians to un-
just competition. This is a view Of
the case which will be new TO most
people In a country where two
thirds of the members Of a band are
likely 10 be foreigners by name at
least, we have not altogether got rid
Of the notion that all musicians are
foreigners, though. Of course, this is
not so. Again, there is a prevailing
idea that music, as an art, should
have the greatest advantages pos
sible. and if these can be secured by
imported talent, let the talent be i'm
ported
But there is another side 20 the
matter. clearly enough If we are
ever 10 have any great percentage of
native musicians in our population,
we must give the native musicians d
fair chance. At present most Ameri-
cans who study music do SO under
much greater disadvantages than for
eigners. because they have TO go TO
such a distance to get their training;
and after they are trained there are
not so many opportunities as there
would be in a different sort Of coun-
try. In short. music is a sort Of in
FAINT industry really charming in
FAINT. not to be COMPOUNDED with those
infants who are big husky minors.
like the steel trust and the oil trust
If protection is afforded the must
clans, perhaps something will in time
be done for the playwrights. The
market has been flooded with cheap
and often nasty foreign plays quite
long enough to suit American drama
lists.

people in Northern cities is so rare
as to be a negligible quantity when 1t
comes TO considering the future OF
tho race. The larger number OF nu-
lattOes in these cities can be account
cd for solely by the fact that the i'm
migration of colored folk from the
South to the North has been mostly
mulattO.
The mulatto and quadroOn element
OF the race, TO begin with, was better
educated before the war. and has had
rather better advantages since the
war. owing TO the disposition Of many
white people to give work and aid to
q good-looklug colored man with but
few traces Of negro blood, which they
would REFUSE to q fuIl-blooded negro.
1t is also probably true that the
mulattoes and quadroons have more
enterprise and desire to strike out for
themselves in new fields than the
bulk of the pure black population,
and the result Of all this has been
that the most of the black people have
staid in the South. and that the ne
gro population Of Northern cities is
made up largely Of mulattoes and
quadroons who came North as sery-
ants, students, or in some sort Of
professional work, and staid there be-
cause they Happened TO like Northern
cities better than Southern planta-
tiOnS or towns.

Thomas TagqaTt, Chairman.

Those Democrats who believe in an
intellectual campaign on a high moral
plane and those who have a theory
that the Independent vote which
elects Presidents can only be secured
by convincing arguments on a live
issue, are manifesting no vast amount
of enthusiasm over the choice Of
Thomas Taggart, of Indiana, as Dem
Ocratic national chairman.
In fact, Taggart is not likely TO
conduct that sort of a campaign. He
remarked to the national committee
that if there are any votes to be Sc
cured he will go after them, and his
training indicates that the way he
will go after them is not one that will
particularly commend Itself TO that
idealistic fraternity which frequents
the higher walks of the Democracy.
Thomas Taggart is what is known
as a practical politician" AS soon
as he could vote he went into ward
politics. At that time he was Sling
ing coffee" over the lunch counter Of
the Indianapolis railroad station.
Like many another frugal Irish lad.
he saved his money and in the course
Of time became proprietor of q small
hotel near the station.
His first real rise in politics occur
red in 1856, when he was elected
county auditor in Marion county,
after being nominated because no
other Democrat would stand for what
looked like a sure licking. In 1888,
as chairman of the Democratic COM
mittee Of the county, he carried it
against Benjamin Harrison, one Of
its residents. He was elected mayor
of Indianapolis in 1895, and twice re-
elected. If he had not regarded the
national chairman as bigger game, he
might have been candidate for gov
ernor of the State.
The quality and the quantity OF
Thomas Taggart's experience will in
dictate plainly enough why he was
made national chairman only after
everybody else available had refused
to take the place. He is not a ma
tional figure in any sense, and his
ability to broaden his ward and coUn-
" political methods to national di
mansions is entirely unknown. More
over, he has certain conversational
qualities that declare the wisdom Of
certain restrictions suggested by the
national committee, which will be
available in case a national chairman
extinguishcr is necessary.
TaggaTt's chief strength lies in his
willingness as a worker, his apprecia-
ton of the value of the personal
equation in winning the support of
the multitude. and his power in In
diana, which he is quite likely to
swing into the Democratic column.
He will not prove at all fastidious re-
garding the means he employs to win
votes, and this, too, is deemed an es-
sential political virtue by many who
believe that the end and aim of a
campaign is to win at all costs with
out bothering about the ethics of the
game"

Purity Of Blood.

A Baltimore paper draws from GER
tain census statistics the conclusion
that race prejudice as it exists in the
South tends 10 purity Of blood. In
support of this argument 1t calls at
tention 10 the fact that in what is
known as the black belt the proper
ton of mulattOes is very much small
er than it is in Boston. Philadelphia,
or New York. The inference is that
unless prejudice continues this Will be
a yellow nation.

this is a trifle twisted The inter
