Tucked Blouse Waist.

The blouse waist continues, and WILL
continue to be the favorite Of the fash
ionable world and seems to know no
limit to it's variety. Illustrated is one
of the newest that can be utilized both
for wash materials and for silks and
wools, and which allows Of many va
riations in the trimming. In this in
stance white linen is combined with
handsome embroidery and the waist Is
unlined, but the trimming can be lace
or banding Of any sort that may be
preferred, while the fitted lining Will
be found desirable for silk and wool
materials.
The waist consists Of the fitted lin
ing, which is closed at the front, the
fronts and the back. The tucks are
so arranged as to give tapering lines to
the figure at the back and to provide
becoming fulness at the front while
the closing Of the waist is made inVisi-
bly, beneath the edge of the right front.
The sleeves are the favOrite ones which
form generous puffs above smoothly
fitted lower portions. There is q regu-
lation stock which can be worn with a
tie and turnover, as in this instance,
or be made to match the trimming as
preferred

The Way to Do Things,

If there is that in your nature which
demands the best and will take moth
ing else, and you do not demoralize
this standard Dy the habit of deterlor-
aticu in everything you do, you will
achieve distinction in some line If you
have the persistence and determination
to follow your ideal.
But if you are satisfied with the
cheap and shoddy, the botched and
sloyenIy, if you are not particular
about qualify in your work, or in your
environment, or in your personal hab-
it's. then you must expect to take Sec
ond place, to fall back into the rear
of the procession.
People who have accomplished Work
worth while have had a very high
sense of the way to do things. They
have not been content with mediocrlty.
They have not confined themselves to
the beaten tracks; they have never
been satisfied to do things just as 9TH
ers do them, but always a little bet
ter. They always pushed things that
came to their hands a little higher up,
q little farther on. 1t is this little high
or up, this little farther on, that counts
in the quality of life's work. 1t is the
effort to be first class in everything
one attempts that conquers the heights
of excehence.-O. S. Marden, In Sue

What Is Real at the British Museum.

Z
In the reading room Of the British
Museum the desks are crowded with
students, all day long, and In addition
to the books of reference, some 20,OOo
in number, which ill the open shelves
of the room, from 5000 to 1000 volumes
are given out every day. Theology in
q wide sense, including the Bible, Bibli-
cal literature, church history, End
works Oh the religious rites and cere-
monies Of all races and 'creeds, is cas-
ily at the head Of the list, with about
300 volumes. Topography comes next,
with about twenty fewer, and OF these
books on London amount TO q quarter,
books on English topography to an
other quarter, the other half being
for the rest of the world. History and
biography come next, English history
being mostly in demand, and books on
France and the French provinces Sec
ond. Essays, criticism and miscel-
laneous literature take the fourth place,
and are followed by fiction-not less
than five years oh-moral philosophy,
poetry and the fine arts, the drama,
law and philology, political economy,
and so on down to politics, mathemat-
les and chemistry, which have about
forty volumes apiece, and lastly works
on naval and military subjects, which
seldom have more than three or four
volumes each. 1t is curious list, and
throws q useful light on the sort of
studies taken up by the readers in the
museum.-London Globe.

What Calls the Westerner.

One thing that annoys and humiliates
q Western man in New York City Is
the way in which he is herded with
the crowd, Out West a man is an in
dividual. He feels that he Is some
body-a responsible citizen, factor
in the community, a person more or
less worth while, entitled to a certain
amount of respect merely as man.
and regardless of wealth or social po-
sition or political power. But in New
Fork unless he is somebody very i'm
portant. he is nobody at all. He is a
mere unit in the mob, of no more mo-
ment than one ant in q hill. - San

Railway Station Costing SIT 1000. 900.

At the rate at which the improve
ments are being carried on at the ter
minal of the New York Central Rail-
road, at Forty-second street. New York
City, it is expected that three months
more will see the Grand Central Sta
tion razed and work begun on the
magnificent structure which is to re-
place it.
Work on the Improvements has gone
as far as it can go without entering
the station or causing an interruption
OF the train service. Where two years
ago stood several hundred homes, to-
day is an excavation quite extensive
in itself, but only fraction Of the
great hole that will be made in the
nineteen square blocks which the ter
minal will cover.
So anxious are the officers of the
railroad company to get their improve
ments into shape in time to be ready
to give station facilities to the new
subway routes planned for the city
that men have been kept working day
and night on the great excavation.
The plans Of the railroad company
call for the expenditure of $4,000, 1000
on the improvements. All of the land
now occupied by station and tracks is
to be evacuated and an entirely new
terminal built. About $17,000,0OO alone
is to be spent in new station. There
are to be two systems of tracks, one
raised above the other, one system
for suburban service and the other for
trains to distant points. Electricity
will also be substituted for steam
throughout the terminal.
It may not be generally known that
the New York Central lines constitute
the Water Level line connecting the
East and the West.
They run along the Hudson River,
New York to Albany; along the Mo-
hawk River and Erie Canal, Albany to
Buffalo; along Lake Erie, Buffalo to
Toledo and Detroit, and along the level
Of Lake Michigan from Toledo to Chi
cago-965 miles of water level, with
water in sight nearly every mile of the
way.
The New York Central operates
more than twelve thousand miles of
railway east of Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati. 1t is the direct line from
New York and Boston to Niagara
Falls and to the West, the Northwest
and the Southwest. by way of the
great cataract and Chicago, st. Louis
or Cincinnati.
This is one of the reasons why the
press Of tHO continents call the New
York Central Americas Greatest

Ace and Brain Work.

The belief of Sir James Crichton-
Browne that brain-workers achieve
their best work in later middle age is
easily confirmed by glancing at the
careers of a few Of the grand old men
who are still with US, many of whom
are as busy as in their younger days
Lord Roberts at seventy-three is still
worth $4,000 a year to the nation as
one Of our imperial defenders, Lord
Kelvin at eighty-one may startle us
with further generalizations on the
mysteries Of science, Sir William Hug
Gins at the same age still explores in
terstellar spaces, while the activity Of
the octogenarian Duke of Rutland and
Lord Wemyss is as effective as ever
in preserving the privileges Of our
old nobility.-London Chronicle.

What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

the greatest number of actual cures OF
woman's ills. This fact is attested to
by the thousands of letters from CRATE

Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can
produce such results.

The Difference.

That cynically genial theatrical man
ager, Mr.. Charles Frohman, draws this
interesting contrast between peoples:
I'm London people go to the tlreatre,
buy their tickets and demand their
moneys worth, whereas in New York
when man separates himself from his
wad at the box office he simply says
We'll, that's gone and if he gets any
entertainment he looks upon it as SO
much in. He expects nothing. The
English attitude is the more difficult
of the two, of course" And, incident
ally, results in vastly better perform
ances. This, however, for reasons
probably patriotic, Mr.. Frohman did
not add.-Harper's Weekly.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle With Coffee.

There is something fairly demonia-
cal in the way coffee sometimes wreaks
its fiendish malice on those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says:
'My husband and I, both lovers OF
coffee. suffered for some time from
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF ar
fection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
81 was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no reilef
! from medicine. and were puzzled as to
what caused the trouble, till a friend
suggested tEat possibly the coffee we
drank had something to do with it and
advised that we quit it and try Pos
: tum Coffee.
"We followed his advice. and from
4 the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in a
very short time both of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more. the headaches
ceased, the muscles in the back of my
neck. relaxed, my head Strengthened
|up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while l used the old kind
of coffee vanished.
eve have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the for
ner beverage. And we are delighted
Ito find that We can give it freely to
3our children also, something never
dared to do with the old kind Of cof-
fee." Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tle Creek. Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug poison.

stories of Absent M ind ednes

At the Chautauqua Assembly a
number of stories about absent-mind-
edness were being told, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
There was the story of the absent
minded doctor who handed his pa
tient a fee and took his prescription
himself; the story Of the professor,
who, coming home to dinner too early,
and see the table cleared, went back
upstairs again, muttering that he had
quite forgotten having dined; and
there were many other stories told.
But Bishop Vincent, among all these
anecdotes. carried OF the palm with a
story about an absent-minded minis
ter.
There was q minister" the Bishop
said, "who was so absent-minded that
he once lathered and shaved lis re-
fection in the mirror"

siderably more than four miles down,
but even at that depth animal life was
found. Those strange beings lived IN

Salt.

A barrel Of salt is produced in the
United States each year for every four
Inhabitants.
New York is the leading salt produc-
ing State, the yield being one barrel for
each inhabitant.
We buy 100000 worth of salt from
other nations, and sell only 100000
worth, largely to Mexico, Japan and
Canada.
Salt costs the producer less than one
tenth Of :: cenfa pound. Never mind
the grocery price. Uncle Sans 1904
figures are 1882 cents for each barrel
of 20S pounds.
Salt is in many European countries
heavily taxed government monopoly.
Italy patrols It's beaches to prevent
poor people from evaporating sea-water
for low-grade salt.-New York Press.
