You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as the perfect
bloom Of her youth. You wonder how
it is her life has been a long and happy
one, Here are some Of the reasons:
she knew how to forget disagrecahle
things, She kept her nerves well in
hand and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art Of saying pleasant
things. She did not expect too much
from her friends, She made whatever
worl; came to her cOngenial
\ theory has recently been advanced
that every woman should have black
dress in her wardrobe to put on when
she is tired or discouraged, and that
the wearing Of color at such a time
not only adds to the general depres-
sion, but accentutes the tired lines that
have crept into the face.
A hint to umbrella buyers. Trade
papers say that ivory has become so
scarce that manufacturers are eXerting
their ingenuity to find substitutes for
It. Few umbrella handles can be ivory,
and the usual substitute is walrus
teeth or celluloid. The walrus teeth
may be detected by streak Of yellow
which invariably runs through them,
and it is usually noticeable in an um.
brella handle.

ABOUT CHILDREN.

Ten commandments for parents:
First-Be gently firm with the baby.
Obedience should commence in the
cradle.
Second-Inslst upon obedience in all
things and at all times,
Third-Instill the necessity of truth
fulness as soon as your child learns to
talk.
Fourth-By example and illustration
teach self-control.
Fifth-Remember that children have
privileges as much so as you-indeed
more, for they are helpless and entirely
under your authority; therefore sacred
ly respect their opinions and feelings.
SlSth-Never be too busy to talk, en-
courage questions, seek and give con-
fidence.
Seventh-Furnish a place for every
thing, and require everything to be
Kept in its place.
Eighth-Demand cleanliness in per-
son, behavior and clothing-not spas
medically, but from the cradle up. If
neglected, see it done. Touch the child's
personal and family pride. Put him on
honor.
Ninth-Never allow your child to
t'answer back" until he is old enough
to reason, then reason intelligently and
gently. 1t is his due.
Tenth-If you promise your child
punishment be as good as your word.
Fail to keep your word once and he
will never trust you again. But never
punish him in a passion; you disgrace
yourself and break his spirit, also in
iure his body. To whip or otherwise
punish him while you are in a passion
Is brutal and 1t brutalizes him, too.

The very fine sprig, spray or garland
hand embroideries appear to have the
preference in the earliest French mod
els, but there are, too, some Of the
bold, raised embroideries on sheer
stuffs, and these heavy embroideries
appear again upon the linen blouses.
Surplice front lines have invaded the
realm Of blouses as well as the other
provinces of fashion, and as they are
universally becoming and easily fitted
and made, their popularity is assured.
Little details such as the arrange
ment of a cravat or girdle will often
give distinction and originality to an
otherwise unimportant blouse.
Many charming waists are shown by
importers, suitable for theatres or res.
taurant dinners. These are usually
white, and with few exceptions are dis
tressingly elaborate.
A combination of white louisine and
thin white lace makes a lovely waist.
There are certain little details Of
mourning garb which should not be
overlooked. The dress Innings should
be of rustless silk. When dead black
is so unbecoming as to render one ugly
before ones family, have all the gowns
made with guimpe effects or surplices
to be filed in with white crepe de chine
or white muslin.
Besides the linen starched collar
there are innumerable stocks and bands
to choose from. A favorite model is
the waved band of heavy linen cob,
covered with padded embroidery.

JAPANESE HAIRpREssING.

b This is quite a fine art; and there q
ypfetty woman will not grudge a whole
Nday spent in front of her mirror while
her attendant applies the pomade so
necessary for her elaborate coiffure,
I'm which there must not be a hair out
of place. The picturesque curls and
duhiness admired by Western women
would not for a moment be tolerated
by her, and her abundant tresses can
not be too smooth and too stiff for the
elaborate designs into which they are
formed.
1t is only while they are young that
Japanese women have a wealth Of hair;
much Of it disappears when they are
about thirty, and as old age creeps on
their attire becomes severely simple.

SHOES LOWER HEELED.

AS TO general shape, toes are little
more pointed, and, curlousy enough
heels are a little lower.
In slippers everything is beaded. or
trimmed with great rosettes Of chiffon
or net, with tiny rhinestone buckle
or button in the centre. In strapped
slippers a new idea has come out-a
slipper which is cut to give a double
strap effect, without the trouble Of
buttoning those little straps. Two eye
lets are in the sides Of these straps,
,presumably part Of the design, but,
too, mighty convenient to slip a bit of
ribbon through to draw the straps a
little tighter.
Bron2e slippers are popular, and tan
shoes 0hough they're a far cry from
evening slippers will be strong again
in all the soft shades Russia leather
takes But black patent leather is
worn more than any other one leather,
and white shoes more than any other
color with slippers to match" for
the rest, and the prettiest Of all is a
French inyention-pale blue or pink
satin affairs, embroidered and beaded,
not only on the vamp, but with a little
vine that runs all the way around the
slipper.
An engraved patent leather slipper is
novelty that is stunning in the quiet
est Of ways. The. design is made by
cutting part way through the enamel.
But slippers The slipper world
seems to have run riot over all shoes, so
long as that one most important point
is satisfied, that the colors match. And
to this end are astonishing things made,
violet and green and orange, and all
the impossible tints Of a very definite
rainbow.

CHERRY TREES FOR SHADE.

Ii has been repeatedly urged thai
fruit trees should be set out on vari.
cas- parts of the farm. But this plan
has not been followed for various rea-
sons; great many farmers who plant
trees for shade for stock, plant those
which bear no fruit. Although they
make an excellent shade l think it
would be much better to combine the
two good qualities and SO benefit both
man and beast have planted num-
Der of cherry trees, which win grow
TO good size and bear excellent fruit.
This kind Of fruit does not fall of,
viii not injure stock and is always
marketable. A cherry tree will grow
fast and generally live to good age.
Their foliage being very dense they
afford excellent shade. 1t costs little
more TO raise these than forest trees,
the only difference being in the orig
inal cost, and this will be repaid in
the fruit - Lcu!s Campbell, in The
Epitomist

WHITE TAFTETA SEAM PIPING

The latest idea in fashioning a sum
m6r silk dress Of hair-lines, fine checks
or >changeable effect, is to trim 1t with
piping Of pure white taffeta. No mat
ter what are the blended tints Of your
silk, no matter if it be solid color
fabric, pipings of white, and only Of
white, seem the proper finish.
OF course, white taffeta pipings
would not be chosen to pipe the seams
of a white waist; that goes without
saying.
Very smart is the summer silk Of
black and white or silvery gray made
up as shirt waist suit and pipe with
white taffeta. This differentiates it at
a glance from any Of last springs out
put. If piping was then employed, be
sure it was black, dark blue, scarlet,
brown or green. White taffeta piping
gives the stamp of novelty.

AN ENGLISH HERO
Remarkable British Tribute to the
Ability of Nelson.

Ability of Nelson.
The time has come when we can spe-
cially do honor to Nelson's memory
without wounding the feelings of other
nations. The first thing to be noted
concerning him is that he is the only
man who has ever lived who by uni
versal consent is without a peer. In
every walk of life except that which
Nelson chose as his own you will find
several competitors for the first place,
each one of whom will have many sup
porters. Alexander of Macedon, Han
nibal, Caesar, Marlborough, Frederick
the Great and Napoleon have been sew
orally put forward for the palm of gen
eralship To those who would acclaim
Richelieu as the first of statesmen 9th
ers would oppose Chatham or William
Pitt or CavOur or Bismarck or Marquis
Ito. Who was the first of sculptOrs?
Who the first of painters? Who the
first of poets? In every case there is
great difference of opinion. Ask, how
ever, who was the first of admirals,
and the unanimous reply will still be,
years of high command In war. 1t is
not only among his fellow countrymen
that his pre-eminence is acknowledged
Foreigners admit it as readily as we
proclaim it Observation-Disclosures Sir Cy-

ANTHRACITE MINERS
ARE IN CONVENTION
Hundreds of Delegates Present
at First Days Session.
WILL DEMAND EIeHT,HouR DAY
Lsaders Plan to Request a Conference
OF the Operators, at Which Several
Demands Will BE Made, One of
Which Is to Increase Pay.

Shamokin, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE an
thracite coal miners convention began
Its sessions here today. About 700
delegates were present when John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, called the con-
Vention to order. This convention is
regarded as more important tnan any
held since Mitchell came into the hard
coal field in 1900 with the avowed
purpose of duplicating the organization
in western Pennsylvania and the west
ern states which held contracts with
the bftum1nous coal operators. The
miners leaders plan through the con-
vention to request a conference of tle
operators. This will be in the form
Of a resolution, and the following de-
mands, it is said, will be made if the
conference is granted:
A party agreement, better known as
Recognition of the union.
An 8-hour workday
An increase in pay to all classes of
employees of at least 10 per cent and
possibly 20 per cent, based On tne
wages in effect April I, 1902
This would mean that the miners
would receive about the same as un-
der the present award.
For some unskilled employees it
would mean slight increase.
Should the operators be disposed to
grant the miners a conference their
intention will be known tomorrow to
Mr.. Mitchell In the event of a ia
vorable reply coming from the opera
tors the convention will be in a posi-
tton to make UP it's list of demands
and grievances and to vote to the ex-
ecutive board or to Mr. Mitchell and
the three district presidents the power
not only to enter into negotiations,
but to make terms for tle miners for
a snort term.

TENNESSEE BOY HAzED.
Made to Stand On His Head Until He

Annapolis, Md, Dec. 14.-NoJwith-
standing the testimony of witnesses
before the Meriwetner courtmartial to
the effect that hazing is no longer
practiced at the Naval academy, a case
has occurred.
The victim was Midshipman Jerdon
Pettus Kimbrough of Germantown,
Tenn. He was last week called be-
fore board of officers now in session
at the academy inquiring into hazing,
lighting and similar practices and
compelled to answer certain questions.
1t is said that ne had also told some
relatives that he had been hazed, and
that the relatives laid the matter be
fore the authorities.
The hazing was on account of these
two things. Midsnipman Kimbrough
was compelled to stand on ais head,
then on his feet, and then on his head
again, repeating this process for 10
minutes continuously.

The news from the Baltic provinces
today is to the effect that many of the
German landlords who have not fed
are establishing network of small
forts and are standing a regular siege.
There has been killing and burning.
Inhabitants of the Baltic provinces
who are now residing in st. Peters
burg were immensely gratified at the
publication yesterday of the imperial
ukase providing local self government,
which they say means the abandon
ment of the classification policy begun
in 1867 to destroy the unity of the old
provinces of Litnuania. The ukase
practically insures the restoration of
the status quo and creating a delib-
crate assembly for the solution of tine
burning questions of reform of the
peasant conditions, the institution of
the local self government and schools
and a governor general, as the Office
existed before 1876.
