THE QUEST Of BEAUTY
Now is the Time to Put Your
Nerves In Order.
SET THINGS TO RIGHTS
REPAIR THE DAMAGE TEE GAVE
TIES HAVE CAUSED.
Learn How to Relax, for Without That
There is No Real
Rest.
BY KATHERINE MORTON.

Girls. put your nerves in order. Now is
the time to do it. The winter and its gay
cites are over, the summer and its gayeties
have not begun. There should be a mental
and physical repairing, just as much as a
spring going-over of the house. You know
how a thrifty housewife attends now to
the order of her pantries and the condition
Of her carpets and curtains, ransacking her
home for disorder and WORKOUT places. She
wants to get every thing put to rights, as
she expresses it. Do the same by your
selves.
Nerves are rocked in nine cases out of ten
by the time spring arrives. If you are a
butterfly, you have been up late at dances,
have made a round of calls during after
moons, have skated mornings, until you are
tired of gayety and seeing many people.
If you are in business of any kind, yau
have passed through the busy season. and
you can't help being somewhat the worse
for wear. Until the new blossoming of
Easter time, there is a little lull, a time to
let work relax and to meet few strangers.
Take advantage of it.
Many physicians recommend toncs for
the nervously Frustrated women of this sea-
son. Perhaps you are really in need of one.
But first try rest and wholesome, relaxed
living, and see If you cannot do without
help from bottle.
Do you know how to relax? 1t is very

about it that will come to you suddenly
some day when you are almost tired of
trying to learn it. The only way to acquire
the knack is to keep trying, and await re-
suits patiently.
Practice relaxation of the muscles. By
the power of suggestion, mental rest fol-
lows physical. For instance, if you are
troubled with insomnia, try this method of
going to sleep. Extend fully in the bed,
stretching all the limbs to their full length,
that is, as far as they will reach without
any sense of effort. So long as you are
making an effort to rest or to sleep you
are defeating your own purpose. Next in
hale and exhale slowly, peacefully, ten
times. Then imagine that your are sinking,
sinking, that you are letting yourself fall,
without any fear, any effort to hold
yourself up. Feel if you We're sinking
right down through the mattress and the
spring and the floor. Let the whole body
go-trunk, and legs, and arms, and hands,
and neck. None of these must brace them
wrinkling of the forehead and a clenching
of the eyelids. Feel yourself dropping, drop
ping.
Forget the World.
The same principle is to be applied to
daytime rests You must take a few minutes
occasionally to go to a perfectly quiet room
and forget the world. Practice some relax
ing exercises. Take seat in the easiest
chair you can find, lay your arms comfort
ably on the arms of the chair, then bend
the head back slowly, or rather let it
fall back, relaxing every muscle of the
neck. Count three. Gently close the eyes,

POMPEIl A TOY CITY.

The temples, the villas, the theaters,

Of yariegated marble and granite, whis-
pering their story mayhap to the moon,
yet telling it plainly enough to the
passerby under the common light OF
day-a story Of Incidence and frivolity
mistaken by the semibarbaric mind
for pleasure, of gorgeous displays in
public places, mysterious orgies In pri-
vate, feasts incalculable, vinous liba-
ton to the gods, gladiatorial combats,
chariot racing, human beings fed to
lions-all in mimicry of Rome, Of Rome

a WONDERFUL MONSTER.
Description of q New Battleship In
the Seventeenth Century.

Dissertation of n New Battleshtp In
the Seventeenth Century.
Is II true that our ram battleships are
but old inventions in new forms! Ii
looks like Ii. Some one has unearthed
curious announcement which ap-
peared In the Mereurius Politicus for
Dec. 6, 1853, to the effect, as stated By
the Dundee Advertiser, that 1.-The ia
nous monster called a ship built at
Rotterdam by French engineer Is
now launched" In description OF the
vessel its capabilities are thus detailed:
"n To sail by means Of certain In
struments and wheels without masts
and sails as swift as the moon or at
least thirty miles every hour. q Both
ends are made alike, and the ship can
be stopped at pleasure and turned as
easily as 4 bird can turn. ca In time
of war it can with one bounce make
hole under water i'm the greatest man
of-war as big as a table and In an
hours time will be able to sink fifteen
or sixteen ships and in three or four
hours will destroy whole fleet "a
She will be able to go to the East
Indies and back again in eight or nine
weeks. 90 She may be used to Kill
whales in Greenland, so that a hun
dred ships may be laden In fourteen
days. g. She may be used to break
down any pier or wooden work with
great ease"
A wonderful monster this must
have been. What, one is curious to
know, was her fate?

MRS. MAVERICK CAN'T WALK.
She Is Suffering From rheumatism o
the Knee.

Washington, May 19.-The taking
of testimony in the case of the
Baroness Won Rogue, mother of Mrs.
Florence Maybrick against D. W.
Armstrong and others. for the recOv-
cry of certain lands in Kentucky and
Virginia. was resumed today before q
notary, for use in the chancery court
at Richmond, Va. Mrs Maybrick was
unable to appear. The attorney for
the plaintiff submitted an affidavit
made by a New York physician stat
ing that Mrs. Maybrick is suffering
with rheumatism of the knee and
threatened ossihcation of the bone.
In letter to counsel the physician
says the trouble is due no doubt to
the mental labor his patient had been
compelled to perform While she was
an inmate of an English prison.
The proceedings before the notary
were interrupted by an adjournment
to the district supreme court, where
application was made to Justice Bar
nard to compel the appearance of J.
H. Walter and the production by him
of an alleged contract by which he
agreed to supply the funds for the
prosecution. The court directed that
a subpoena be issued and served on
Mr.. Walter for his appearance on June
to which date Justice Barnard ad-
journed the proceedings.

WANTS TO HANG SHEA.
Witness Teshfes Strike Leader Claim
ed More Power Than the Mayor

Chicago May 19.-President Shea of
the Transfers union declared to the
Liverymen's association that he had
more power than the mayor of Chicago

we asked him if he would allow US to
deliver passengers to the boyeotted
stores he said he could not possibly al

it he would put Is of his best men along
State street and take the names of all
who hauled people to the stores and he
would get them where he wanted
them"
Then the witness told of Shea's threat
to clean OUT part of the city.
