TRAVELLING IN RUSSIA.
The Sleeping Cars and the Steamers
ON the VOIga.

ON the VO1ga.
The sofas of our staterooms on the
Volga river steamer, while pleasant
enough to sit on, were devoid Of the
other trappings which in these degen-
crate days are thought necessary to
nights rest, and we had not yet learn
ed the peculiarities of Muscovite travel.
The old fashioned Russian travels
with his own gear and makes himself
comfortable according to his own ideas,
and they are by no means narrow. A
place to sleep OH is provided. The rest
he brings. On the Russian sleeping
cars those who have not their own bed
clothes and who wish to undress and
go to bed in the American fashion can
have all that is requisite for so cents.
The porter on demand brings a linen
sack, whose seal he cuts in your pres
ence with considerable ceremony and
from which he produces a pillow,
blankets and sheets of beautiful fine
linen. This was the system on our
boat, and our minds were soon at rest.

Of the ship and saw the way the third

was primitive, but clean and wholly
suited to the customs of the people.
Each person was provided with a spot
less board shelf to sleep on by night
and sit on by day, and he made himself
as happy or as uncomfortable as he
chose. Most Of the passengers seemed
to take travelling as a migration, to
judge by the pots and kettles, furni-

READS THE BOOK.
"The Road to Wellville" Pointed the
Way.

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the vis-
itors have all sorts of complaints, but
it is q subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question Of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he lad suf-
fercd for nine years from stomach and
bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheum-
atism, and his stomach trouble got
worse One day at breakfast the wait
er, knowing his condition. suggested
he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which
he did and found the food agreed with
him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different than
he had for years. The perfect diges-
tion of the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says: THE next morning | was
astonished to find my condition of con-
stipation had disappeared. | could not
believe it true after suffering for so
many years; then | took more inter-
est in the food, read the little book

BAT HROOM FURNISHINGS.
Fittings sould Be Very Simple and
Everything Selected with Ref
erence to Cleanliness.

Simplicity is the keynote of the up-to-
date bathroom-the less elaborate the
fittings the easier it is to detect the first
signs of dirt
Inc cost of many of the articles that
90 toward the equipment of first-class
bathroom leaves little or no excuse for
the retention of obsolete fixtures. Fifty
cents will buy metal towel rack or a
line nickel soap dish. The finest towel
racks are those of the glass rod type.
but any of the metal contrivances-
elther the rings, the folding bars with
KNOBS or the straight rods-are equally
sanitary and great deal cheaper.
10 meet the demand for plain fixtures
an almost endless variety Of small nov
elites has been introduced for the con-
Venlence of the toilet. These are mostly
IN the line of combinations. as a soap
cup and toothbrush rack combined. The
rack shown in the accompanying Illus
tFatlon is known as a triad" and is one
OF the most complete fixtures among the
less expensive sorts. There is also a
large assortment of fixtures with COM
bnations for shaving sets. In the mora
elaborate line of nickelware for the bath
room cut glass tumblers are furnished.
yet 1t is question whether these are
half so effective as the white porcelain
mugs and receptacles.
The tendency in all fittings is toward
pure white effects. There are to be had
white chairs and stools in a heavy
enamel finish that is a celluloid compo-
sition and you can also buy mirrors, cir.
cnlar or oval, with frames of this ma
terial.
A bathroom fitted out in all white and
nickel, with the ceiling and walls paint
ed an enamel tint down as far as the
white tile wainscot, will come pretty
close to realizing the ideal conditions,
even though each individual article may
not be the most expensive of its kind.
The quality of the material very often
remains the same in the cheaper articles.
the difference being that the ornamen-
tation is less.
The best way for persons of limited
means to furnish a bathroom is to pur-
chase one article at a time, and to have
that article the best. In the course of a
year you will be surprised to find that
all your old fixtures have been SUPER
seded by bright, new ones and that the
operation has not been attended with
any financial effort.

ABOUT MATERNITY GOWNS.
Present Modes Follow Long Lines and
Loose Styles After Which These
Robes Should Be Fashioned.


The problem of maternity gowns has
always been and always will be a most
important one. Naturally, a woman
wants to look her best and to avoid the
appearance of an invalid, but it is an
extremely difficult task to choose mate
rials, colors and styles that will be be-
coming when the skin is sallow and the
lines of the figure require to be concealed
rather than defined, especially when it
is absolutely necessary to health that
the clothes be loose and comfortable.
Lines" long lines"-how often is
this repeated by the oracles of dress
the competent dressmakers who really
do understand their business and whose
great desire is to have their customers
look well gowGed. How to attain those
lines is the problem.
The fashions of the present moment
are most possible for these gowns. The
full skirts and long loose coats will hide
many deficiencies, and holding out the
hem of the skirt with bone is of great
service. The accordion pleated and
shirred skirts are good, and waists and
jackets, with long straight fronts are
an excellent style.

its puffed sleeves are also trimmed with

band of the same encircles the waist

nets look smart is by an arrangement

At the New York State Assembly of

In conclusion, let me say just a word
about the use of the so-called breath
perfumes which are on the market
This practice is an extremely vulgar
one, indeed. An unpleasant odor Of
the breath, in the absence of decayed
or unclean teeth, is usually due to
some digestive disturbances 1t may
also be one of the symptoms of grave
diseases of the lungs or upper cir pas
sages. Always seek the advice of a
physician regarding the cause of this
condition.
1t should be the practice of every
one to have the teeth thoroughly ex-
amined by a reliable dentist at least
twice year. The decay of a tooth is
at first such slow and quiet process
that we do not know of it until in
most cases much damage has been
done.

Many people have the idea that a
tooth is a solid bone without life. On
the contrary, it is a living structure
one of the bone tissues of the body
and requires nutritious and varying
food for its healthy growth and life.
The cause of the decay of teeth is in
directly due to micro-organisms, bac-
terra which are always present in the
mouth. You may dislike this idea, but
they are there, nevertheless, in count
less numbers and varieties. They have
for their food that part of our food
which clings to the teeth. Some of the
tiny organisms have the power to
cause these food particles and films to
ferment, and form acids. These acids
in contact with the enamel cause it to
be broken down and destroyed. The
dentine is not nearly so resistant as
the enamel, and when bacteria have
once gained entrance TO this substance
their work goes on much more rapid
ly. In explaining this process of the
decay of teeth, we have also explained
the necessity for keeping the teeth
clean and free from food particles
The presence of tartar on the teeth
causes a recession Of the gums. Tar
tar is composed chiefly of irritating
salts, derived from the secretions of
the mouth. Klebs, a high authority
on the subject, found with the micro
scope that it is full of bacteria, which
may be injurious to the teeth, and
particularly to the gums.
In cleaning the teeth, no matter
with what you may clean them,
whether an instrument or a cleansing
substance, remember that they should
be cleaned inside as we'll as outside.
The deposit of tartar is apt to be much
greater inside the teeth.
The teeth should be brushed up and
down, as well as across their surfaces.
A vertical movement of the brush re-
moves many particles of food from
between the teeth which could not
otherwise be gotten rid of. A piece of
silk twist pushed between the teeth
will remove shreds of food which can
not be reached with the brush. In
using the brush, the circulation of the
gums should be gently stimulated by
friction, and for this reason it is best
always to use a moderately stiff brush.
Red, spongy gums, which bleed read
ily are the symptoms of some consti-
tutional disease, about which one
should consult the dentist and ply
sician.

There is n simple practice that has
long been followed by the IRISH, that
anyone can adopt with benefit 1t is to
clean the teeth and gums occasionally
with common salt, rubbed gently into
the gums above and below with a piece
of soft muslin. This is valuable in
destroying both micro-organisms and
other injurious deposits Pulverized
charcoal, although very antiseptic and
purifying is rather too harsh a sub
stance, even in the finely divided
state, to be used habitually on the
teeth.
Tooth powders and tooth pastes seek
to combine the polishing effect of fine
ly-divided substances with antiseptic
qualities. Tooth washes are simply
for antiseptic purposes, and for rem
dering the mouth and breath fragrant
There are many varieties of dentifrice,
some of which are good, while others
are extremely injurious to The sub
stance teeth. 1t is always best to use
only those preparations recommended

tooth powder, recommended for gen
eral use by an eminent French dentist:

Brush the teeth with a moderately
stiff brush, dipped in this, which will
