fine art of whatever she touches, she
does not bungle with the art of keep
ing young.
sculptors study of the human form
divine, knows line and curve as the
artist does. She holds the ideal of
figure, gesture, movement, and it has
been a life habit to conform to the
ideal. At three score years of age,
she has a figure of singular erectness;
years of rigorous attention to various
forms of exercise, and the woman Of
three score is supple and graceful as
her much talked of tiger pet. We do
not say the mass of light brown hair
are untouched by art, but declare they
seem natural as we'll as beautiful, a
very effective frame for a most inter.
esting face. Her cheeks have the
roundness and freshness of youth her
eyes are markedly young.
And we must bring to remembrance
that the immortal fires of genius have
much to do with youthful vitality, that
the artist does not soon grow old in
mind and soul. To-day Sarah Bern
hardt looks out on the world with eyes
that keep a childish look of wonder
and mystery-it is to the true fol-
lower of an art the mysteries of the
world appear deepest, most wonderful,
worth pursuit of a lifetime.

Lumber Firm Appeals.

St. Paul-An appeal to the supreme
court has been taken by the Shevlin-
Carpenter company in the timber tres
pass suit recently brought by the state,
and which the state won in the dis
trict court. The case was tried in Du-
luth, and verdict for the state was
given, on the demurrer to the COM
plant in which the law is attacked.
This appeal will delay the settlement
of the case for year, and as the other
cases hinge on this one it will be as
long before they are finished.
Attorney General Young does not
like the delay and announces that he
will appeal to the next legislature for
a new law which will give state cases
where appeals are made direct place
on the calendar, instead of having to
wait until the new term, as is now the

1t is, perhaps, best to say that IN
every respect-china, cuts ne end at
tendants, the dining car service of the
"Orlental Limited" is in keeping with
the righteousness of the remainder OF
this regal train, and has won, as the
dining car service has always helped
to win, the. title, 1.-The Comfota BILE
Way" for the Great Northern Rail-
way. The new dining car service OF
the "oriental Limited' equals in beau
ty, design and interior furnishings
anything which is operated on any
transcontinental line. Every luxury
which first-class hotel or club aft ords
in the way of service is really on the
dining car of the "Oriental Limited"
The new dining cars were built with
special purpose in view of affording
the most comfortable surroundings, as
we'll as giving the traveller a unique
and luxurious place in which to enjoy
his meals. a gentleman who recently
made the journey to the Coast from St..
Paul on the 'Oriental Limited,' in
speaking of the dining car service, said:
Il have travelled on almost every inn
portant railroad in the United States,
but 1 have yet, to End one which sur
passes the ''Oriental Limited" in the
comfort and convenience afforded the
traveller. Your dining car service is
excellent, the equal of any service in
the country, and the superior of may.

beauty of the interior furnishings of
these dining cars; they are really a
novelty of car architecture.

PECAN, SMELLING SEASON.
An Industry That Gives Employ
ment to Many Hundreds
of People.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
pecan nut meat Industry may be had
when it is stated that in San Antonio
(Tex.) alone there are LOO members
OF the Pecan Shelters union, a labor
organization composed of men engaged
as a regular business in the Smelling
of pecan nuts and extracting the de-
licious kernels.
Not all of the pecan shelters in San
Antonio belong to the union. There
are several hundred other men, wom-
en- and children in that city who gain
livelihood from the work. There
are branches of the Pecan Shelters
union in Austin and several other
towns of the state.
The pecan nut Smelling season lasts
from October 1 to July l. The new
crop of nuts begin to come into mar
ket about October 1, and from then
until January 1 the business of ex-
tracing the kernels is very active.
The kernels are shipped in large bulk
to New York, st. Louis and other cit
les, where they are used by the con-
fectioners in the manufacture of can
dies.
Pecan Smelling is comparatively
new industry. 1t had it's origin, so
far as its becoming recognized
business is concerned, a few years ago
when candy manufacturer of New
York visited Texas
He ate some of the candy made and
sold by Mexican street vendors in
San Antonio. Pecan kernels form an
important ingredient of this candy.
AS an experiment he arranged for a
small shipment of the pecan meats to
be made to him.
The kernels were received in due
time, and the highest art of the candy
maker was employed in their use The
pecan candy became popular almost
instantly, and other orders for the
pecan kernels were placed.
That was the beginning of an in
-dustry which now gives employment to
several thousand people. There is a
big demand for the pecan Kernels in
every large city in the country.

IMPROVING THE FIGURE.
Average Woman Has Formed Habits
That Tend to Such Defect as
One High Shoulder or Hip.

You girls who are working to over
come the 'unevenness of hips and
shoulders must investigate the indi-
vidual cause of the trouble Nothing
is more common cause than the habit
of incorrect standing, throwing the
weight of the body upon one foot and
leg. But many cases of crookedness
are brought about by some odd habit
all your own. For instance, one cor
respondent writes that she always
wears long skirts in the street and in
variably holds the skirt to raise it from
the ground with the right hand. This
habit may have done a great deal to
twist her. If you will not wear short
walking skirt, take pains to change
hands often when lifting your train.
Horseback riding, as it has been
practiced that is, with a side saddle
has done its share of damage. One
physician prescribed a saddle made for
the reverse position, bringing the STIR
rup on the opposite side from the usual
one.
Carrying school books or parcels al
ways in one arm, especially when they
are held against the hip, throws the
body into one-sided position.
In the introduction of vertical writ
ing into schools, much has been said
of the benefit gained from it's forcing
the child to sit straight, facing the
desk directly, instead OF sitting in the
diagonal fashion customary with slant
ing penmanship. This position has en-
couraged xunevenness of shoulders and
hips. g.
So you must study your own case
to discover whether you are not in
some way twisting yourself out of
shape; then, when you have discov-
cred the cause, do away with it prompt
1y, besides taking exercises to correct
your figure.
In simple, standing exercises, it is
important that you have one hand on
the hip, the other clasped about the
neck. The hand on the hip belongs
to the high side; the other, lifted to
the neck, raises the entire side, hip,
shoulder and all, along with it, and
so -corrects the fault. The high hip
is usually the right one, but your case
may differ.
~ Starting with this position, you may
use an infinite number of exercises
that you have practiced before; those
which stretch and bend the spine are
the most profitable. Go through these
exercises giving yourself short rests
sbetween;. during these rests you may
let the arms fall at the sides while you
take deep breaths.

BIGGEST MOOSE ANTLERs.
Palm Given to Maine Mans Trophy
9f----Maay Own Very Hand y
* ~"j some Sets.

Maine sportsmen and hunters, are
amused by a statement made recently
to the effect that q moose killed in
New Brunswick had antlers with q
spread of 4S inches, which, so far
as was known, was the record width.
THESE are rather small antlers; much
larger ones can be purchased any day
IN the taxidermists' shops of Bangor,
says correspondent of the Washing
ton Post.
It. has long been question which
is the largest set of moose antlers in
the world. Some years ago set of
antlers from Alaska, mounted in Ban
gor, attracted great attention, as they
spread "a inches. Like most Alaska
antlers, however, these were ragged
and unsymmetrical. The handsomest
antlers are seldom of wide spread, and
those of remarkable spread are seldom
handsome
Some time ago the set owned by
Norman Merriman, of New York, a
member of the Calumet club was de.
clared to be the second largest in the
world, spreading 62 inches. The as
sertlon was disputed by sportsmen in
Maine, who said that 81 inches was
not the second greatest spread of ant
lers; neither, they said, was record
established by the set owned by King
Edward VII, alleged to spread II
inches.
Within the past few years several
sets have been mounted in Bangor hav-
ing spread of more than "a inches,
but they were all from Alaska, and
not at all handsome. The record. so
far as known, for New Brunswick
moose antlers is &c inches, and this
pair was mounted here. They were
unsymmetrical, and not worth much
as an ornament
The Maine record is said to be g.
inches, a pair of this width having
been mounted here a few years ago by
the late Sumner L. Crosby. :.
BY far the largest and handsomest
set of moose antlers of which there Is
any definite knowledge is that owned
by Charles B. Hazeltine, of Belfast,
the official measurements of which,
taken at the New York Sportsmen's
exposition in 1895, are: Girth, 8h
inches; length, II inches; palmation,
41k by 213s inches; spread, 81 inches.
But the spread of set of antlers
does not necessarily indicate their size
or establish their worth, for measur-
ing antlers is an arbitrary proceeding.
For instance. the Hazeltine set, while
measuring only 81 inches spread, are
70 inches convex measurement, and
their beauty and value lie in their
great width of blade and in their 29
points. The moose from which they
were taken was killed at Chesuncook
Lake, Me-, in 1887, by julie Pease, who
says the animal weighed about 1900
pounds, being nine feet long from nose
to end of tail and eight feet girth
