A REsTlNe.uP FORMULA.

An English nurse suggests useful little
formula for resting up when one IS
going to something particular In the
evening.
First lie down in the afternoon with
both shoes and corsets off, for with these
on the body cannot relax properly. Next
take quick warm bath, afterward rub
bing the spine well with eau de cologne.
Next the face is to be gently washed In
water softened with bran. as hot as can
be borne, then sluiced off with cold water,
to which dash Of toilet water has been
added. To brighten the eyes, give them
a bath by means of a teacupful of slightly
salted water. Dress with deliberation,
and If possible have someone do your hair
for you, If you do not keep maid.
1t is a great aid to successful toilet
to have all your things laid out ready, SO
that you do not have to rummage in
bureau drawers or turn out boxes or
tumble in closets at the last minute.
Whatever you are going to need in the
way of clothes. stockings. shoes. hand
kerchief. gloves. fan, ETC., should be where
you can lay your hand on them when
YOU want them.
As a last touch, the nurse suggests for
a capital pick me-up Mrs. Grover Cleve-
lands recipe-a glass of boiling hot milk.

WOMEN STATION AGENTS
They Prove Popular with Officials and
r.. Patrons.

Another field Of industry has been in.
vaded by woman, and the wearers of
skirts are displacing masculine rivals
as railway station agents. The Lake
Erie and Western railroad appointed
Miss Cathryn L. Dicks as agent at
Mount Summit, Ind, two years ago, and
the experiment. has resulted in such
success that the road has decided to
appoint women to the charge of all the
smaller stations along it's route.
The application Of domestic science
to the dingy little station at Mount
Summit was the first work of Miss
Dicks that brought her to the notice OF
the higher officials Of the road. Or
their tours Of inspection the officials
had been accustomed to hurry by the
small stations, but few weeks after
they had appointed the first woman or
the line they were induced to stop al
ties. E..
The railway men rubbed their eyes
when they alighted from the train. The
depot floors were scrubbed until they
gllstened, the benches were free OF
dust, curtains were at the windows
flowers were blooming in corner, anc
the waitingroom looked almost as
dainty as a boudoir. The station haG
ceased to be the lounging place Of vii
lage idlers, and instead had become g
clubhouse. to which the women tool
the1r n sewing in the afternoons.
The appearance of the station made
a hit with the officials of the road, and
a week later they appointed three other
women as agents, in small towns. In
each case the results of the change have
been the same. The women have shown
greater tact in dealing with ticket pur
chasers than their masculine predeces
sors displayed, and fewer complaints
have been registered from the offices
than in previous years.
In each Of the four villages patrons
have come forth voluntarily and have
complimented the officials Of the roac
on the wisdom of the new policy. The
town council at Mount Summit went tt
the. trouble of passing resolutions tc
the effect that since the change hac
been made the depot is no Longer q
loafing place, and that the waiting
rooms are made inviting for travel
erS.
The station agents transact the bust
ness for the express companies as wei
as for the railroad and their combined
salaries amount to $40 or $50 a month
In several Of the towns young Womer
are learning telegraphy, and with the
company the old railroad men see the
gradual elimination Of the masculine
station agent and the employment il
time Of women only. At present it il
estimated that twenty young womer
i are almost expert enough in handling
the key to take charge of the entire
business Of small station, and they
will be Installed as rapidly as vacan
cieS occur.

A Scotch Woman, Mrs. Margaret
Stuart, Is Interesting Eastern Women
in the Strange Cult that Each Human
Soul Radiates a Color-A New Aid to
MatrimOnv.
WHAT color does the Minneapolis
w girl radiate9 Is it blue, yellow

WIHAT color does the Minneapolis
w girl radiate9 Is it blue, yellow
or reds
Mrs. Margaret Gladstone Stuart of
Scotland has propounded the cult that
each human soul radiates a>distinctiVe,
individual color by which the tempera-
ment and material characteristics are
proclaimed and her observations of the
colors radiated by the women of the
eastern cities is rousing much comment.
Mrs. Stuart is a Scotch woman, her
grandmother was the famous countess
Of Galloway and her father, Alexander
Stuart, is well known as writer on
metaphysical subjects and interested in
Newport on her arrival in America and
she found that the women of that pleas
ure resort radiated red nine times out
of ten. This color shows that they are
addicted to the world and the pleasures
Of the flesh. A blue radiation denotes
spirituality; gold, highmindedness and
ambition. Mrs. Stuart believes that
Napoleon may have radiated a golden
hue. Green shows sympathy and laven-
der a love of family. *
A combination of two colors is often
found in an aura, or soul radiation.
The New York women are both kindly
and worldly and they give out blue as
well as red. Boston women are envel-
oped by golden haze, while the, New
Orleans women, who. are famous for
their society and culture, give out red
and gold. The Chicago woman is also
in redand-gold aura, while the St.
Louis matron shows a lavender light
The Philadelphia matron and maid re-
veal a blue nimbus, for she is home
loving and spiritual.

BABIES ARE TOO FAT.

Most babies are too fat, according
to the contentious of DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief of the bureau Of chem
istr.-, in speech before the Mother s
Congress in Washington. Here are
some of-,the bits of philosophy con-
tanned in Dr.. Wiley's speech:
No children ought to die.
Physicians should prescribe pure
food for children, not medicine.
Men ought not to die before they
are worn out.
: DR.. Wiley combated Dr. Osler's the
ory, SAYING that some men are worn
out and ought to retire at 25.
Don't have fat babies; let them be
healthy, but not fat.
They should be just plump enough so
that when the time comes they will be
active and ready to take the place Of
those who are worn out.

In the Highlands Mrs. Stuart was
thought to be gifted with the power Of
second sight. When a girl Of II she
was stricken with blindness for three
years, and during her illness she could
discern the aura of people who came
to see her. When her sight returned,
the power seemed to pass away, but she
went to India and studied with a mas
ter of occult science and obtained the
strange vision again. Her classes in
| the east are thronged by women who
are attracted as much by the leader g
personal magnetism as by the cult she
promulgates.
What is the utility of this ability to
discern auras, even if you should ac-
quire it9' she said. GA bishop asked
me the same question the other day. I
think that our capacity for helping 9TH
eFs could be greatly augmented if we
were able to see them as they really are.
Our auras are bound to tell the truth
about us. To be sure, not all my pupils
are studying the subject for the high
est good it can bring them. Many Of
the women and girls are attracted be-
rive in the way Of adjusting their love
affairs, and even Of divorce. By being
able to discern changes in the aura Of
l'her sweetheart girl could not fail to
know the precise state of his feelings
toward her. Men and women would be
able to know to a certainty by the color
Of their auras, also, whether or not they
were suited to one another. Thus many
unhappy matches might be avoided. It
is the giving out Of too much Of one
color or another that makes the in
harmonies of life.
=="Black is the color of DEATH" con-
tinued Mrs. Stuart in voice that made
her auditors almost feel as if the death
messenger was lowering near. "I have
been thru the hospitals and seen many
die,' she said, "and have never seen
one go that did not give out black
lray.' -s-

OF 'tBOUND-FOOI''
WOMEN

I, Any fine day, about noon, there may
fbe seen, vending their way slowly and
painfully up the steep Clay street hill,
q. procession Of "Golden Lily feet''
Chinese maidens, bent on the pursuit Of
knowledge under great difficulty. They
represent the flower Of local China
town society, the "shut in" daughters
'bound- d-foot' women Of the Chinese
quarter of San Francisco. %
They have broken down the stone
wall Of custom Of their ancestors. They
have overcome the oriental prejudice
against the appearance Of the women
on the street. More wonderful still,
some have even adopted the American
looes robes Of their native country.
hands. No books are visible. But if
you understand the Chinese custom, you
will know that the "symbols Of learn
ing' are wrapped in soft silk handker-
chiefs. The long frames hold their
embroidery. .S--
Embroidery the Real Business.
But these, picturesque Oriental maid
ems do not only "read the book'' after
the good old Chinese style, at the "tip-
toes' Of their shrill sweet voices. Very
speedily they finish that part of the
program and get down to the real bust
ness Of the occasion. Space is cleared
on the tables and the long bags with
the wooden frames are opened. Length
after length of soft silk is taken out,
and you would believe you were in an
eastern bazar, so redolent is the air of
sandalwood and strange spicy odors
The fine fossy silk and the gay satins
and crepes are imported from Canton
specially for their use. Even the short
needle, one-half inch in length, must
be sent from China They can find
none in this country Of the "western
barbarian,'' tiny enough for the ex-
ouisitely delicate stitches with which
these dainty "bound-foot' maidens set
their 'broidery work.
So the humblest Chinese peasant girl
goes to her espousal robed in the most
beautiful embroideries, wrought by her
own hand during her girlhood days.
Tt was a gala day in Chinatown when
this school was at last opened. The
eager girls had been waiting SO long
for it.. They proved their interest by
attending in such numbers that within
few months the small schoolroom.,h had
