WOMEN IS COSMETICS

The money that American women
pay for cosmetics would paint $1,000
houses, allowing $75 for each house.
A member Of the New York state
board of pharmacy makes an even
larger estimate, and says that American
women pay yearly $40 100000 for paints
and powders.
Some one else says that only one
women in New York's 400 paints.
And yet another more reassuringly
asserts that the danger arising from the
use Of cosmetics is greatly overdrawn.
The principal trouble comes from the
the closing Of the $50 sweat glands to
the square inch of the skin IS surface.
It can t be denied, however, that bis
muth. and zinc oxide, which are ihpor-
tant ingredients Of most cosmetics, are
injurious to the skin, dyeing and parch-
ing it ard robbing it Of all it's fresh
ness, and the woman who habitually
uses paint and powder awakes some fine
morning to find herself uglier than be-
fore.
Rice powder and potato powder will
not injure the skin very much for the
very excellent reason that they do not
resist the effect Of heat. When the
glands begin to act, the perspiration
unchecked, performs it's function
This fact makes, rice powder some
what unpopular. A powder which will
adhere to the skin in spite Of heat is
more in demand.
TO secure this end, rice powder is
therefore often mixed with chalk or
subnitrate Of .bismuth. The more sue
cessful the result, the greater the in
jury done to the skin.

Mrs. Gould's Watchfulness.


Altho it is Mrs. Gould's intention to
have as complete a collection Of birds
Of all species as possible, her fancy thus
far has run to pheasants, pigeons, pea
cocks, cartridges, swan, cranes, peli-
cans, wild geese, quail, hamingoes and
rare breeds of fowl. The specimens Of
all these families are the rarest to be
found anywhere in the. world: Few
persons have any conception Of the care
that must be taken Of this great num-
Der Of birds-there are more than 200
rare specimens in Mrs. Gould IS collec-
tion-and the watchfulness that must
be continually exercised to keep them
from harm. The life of the average
bird is about four years, and to keep
up collection it is necessary to breed
extensively and frequently add to each
ready well under way at Castlegould.
But extensive as the present collection
! is, Mrs. Gould considers it only the be-
ginning of what she intends to have.
When the aviaries are all completely
stocked and more aviaries are con
structed, she will begin the collection of
,, wild and rare animals and will doubt
less continue this pursuit with as much
enthusiasm as she has her collection of
birds.
One feature Of Mrs. Gould's collec-
ton must not be overlooked; and to
, some real lovers Of nature it will prove
! the most pleasing feature Of the es-
tate. That is the wild birds which in
;; habit the great growth of timber on the
grounds with all the freedom of the
birds Of the primeval forests. The trees
, in Castlegould form one Of it's chief
beauties. Among them are big oaks
reaching above the other trees, and
! there are naples and spruce and bass
and dogwood and elm and sycamore and
! locust and pine and walnut and hickory
and beech and chestnut. In the branches
! of these fine trees the redbird, and the
! jay, the oriole, the thrush, the little
| chattering chippy, and the blackbird-
! all the birds of North America-have
made their homes. . There they sing IN.
the greatest care has been taken to keep
them from all harm from man and
beast. It would probably go pretty
hard with anyone found with a gun
prowling about Castlegould, and numer
Gus signs on the estate warn one against
shooting the birds or disturbing theil
nests. S" the happy jewellers in this
forest hop from bough to Dough, soal
| above their green-topped houses ant

fear of molestation.

lone of the ideas L had about these
was that one Of them must he cream
colored, as the house was cream col

the general picturesqueness. I adver-

soon found that ideal dairy maids were
not to be had every day in Wisconsin,

after many disappointments a Scotch

A RAILROAD BUILDER.

The contractor in charge Of the grad
ing of the Old Dominion railroad, Mrs.
Theodosia Beacham, is said by the Pill
grim to be the only woman in America
engaged in such work. Mrs. Beacham,
whose home is in Michigan, tho she is
a native Of Massachusetts, took up the
work when her husband became an in
valid. With her two sons she lives
near the work she is engaged upon, and
her force Of fifty men camp near by
with their mules and equipment. Mrs.
Beacham has done some of the hardest
work on one of the costliest electric
railroad beds ever constructed-rea
rock cut and filing. She superintends
the work personally and is held in high
esteem by officials of the various rail-
roads with which she has had dealings.

k1ACKAY EElRESS ATTENDS SCHOOL
Mrs. Clarence Mackay Answers Crit
cism by Sending Her Little Daughter
to the Roslyn Public School-Mackay
Girls Are Allowed Unusual Individual
Freedom and Are Brought Up on
Democratic Principles.
A N HEIREss to $5O,ooo,ooo is to go

A N HElRESS to $50 100000 Is to go
n to public school!
Mrs. Clarence Mackay has an
nounced that she will send her Swear
at Roslyn, L. I. Thus does she testify
to the theories she announced when she
was elected a school trustee in the town.
The decision regarding the education
Of her daughter was made public as a
direct answer to a challenge issued
by those who opposed her election dur
ing the recent bitter canvass in Roslyn.
They declared that no woman had q
right to aspire to trust eeship whose
own children would get their education
from governesses and private seminar
les.
Little Katharine Mackay has been
brought up son democratic principles,
and has always been allowed an I'M
usual amount Of individual liberty. It
is one Of Mrs. Mackay's theories that
children should be allowed to develop
freely and naturally without restraint
OF coercion or even any great amount OF
suggestions from parents or teachers.
The lodgekeepers and gardeners
children of the manor house and all the
children on the place frequently appear
in costumes which are identical with
the costumes worn by the Mackay chill
dren.
Altho both the Mackay girls have
dresses Of the richest fabrics and most
expensive make, they are nearly always
attired in simple white, washable frocks,
short white socks and sandals.
On rare occasions-such as the we'd
ding of Miss Marion Haven, when little
Miss Katharine wore frock Of lace
worth kings ransom-the children
are robed in costumes fit for little prin-
cesses, but for everyday life the two
little heiresses to millions and to great
estate at Harbor Hill are as simply
dressed as the children Of their moth
er IS servants.
Mrs. Mackay made an informal little
speech when her election to the school
board was announced to her.
til am glad to get this post she
greedily glad. There i is no harm IN our
desiring reasonable, moderate things;
but when we desire, too much, then we
merit blame. Then Mrs. Maclxay
