tablished it, upon it's alumni and q

which God gave to Moses, THAT they

Progress, but it does not believe that
Progress means Change. 1t is deeply

Her forty winks restore not only her body,
but her mind. Her nerves are rested. To
secure her forty winks she needs only
darkened room and a pillow, with the priv
ilege Of loosening her neck and belt and
shoes. The Chinese also believe in the forty
mods Of rest and are able to go on with
their work for an indefinite time, stopping
every little while for their forty wlnks.
At nerve cure in the south OF France
they have a nerve rest. The patient takes
a sun bath; that rests the nerves Of the
body, they claim. Rest is the only cure
for tired nerves. Particularly do they rest
the soles Of the feet, which they claim
control the nerves. The soles OF the feet
are very sensitive and should be treated II
one is inclined to have nerves. They can
be treated by rapidly running them through
cold water until they begin to feel hot
from the reaction, and also by vigorous
massage; but, best Of all, by putting on a
pair Of very soft wool shoes
In a certain nerve cure in Russia they
take patients who are I'll in bed and give
them this nerve cure. Covering them with
blankets, they open the windows even In
the coolest of weather and let the wind
sweep across the patient. This wind Is
supposed to quiet the nerves: it is a sort
Of "Rock-a- abye- baby -in- the-tree-top' kind
Of rest The wind blows, you feel as though
you were swaying and your nerves grad
ually grow quiet.
The woman who has nerves-and there
are few women who do not boast a few
these days-better learn how to steady
them. Here are the different ways of get
ting rid Of a set of nerves:
Stop fussing; It will make you grow old
and nervous, crochety and disagreeable.
Don't worry; worry wears you out
quickly.
Don't fidget; one hour OF idgety move
ments Will set your nerves flying.
Don't borrow trouble. Don't read the
horror stories Keep as tranquil as you
can.

the world, II may be. Her list OF customers
is large and she employs a goodly force OF
high-priced workmen. Miss Richardson en-
Joys her work. though 1t isn't one Of the
pretty occupations. I'm in the business
because I like IT," she says. Il was the
first telephone operator in Syracuse and
always had a liking for things relating
to electricity. My brother-in-law wished
me to go into the contracting business
with him and 1 consented. He died three
years ago and since then 1 have run 1t
alone. Several contractors have tried to
get me to take them partners, but 1
prefer to have 1t all myself. Some per-
sons hesitate about employing a woman
to do their work for them, as they fear
she could not make her workmen attend to
their duties, but 1 have no trouble that
way l always personally inspect all the
contracts 1 have after the men have fin
ished. In that way 1 keep up a high
standard" Miss Richardson is still young
and is regarded by her acquaintance as
handsome.

Runs a big Library.

The library of the Department OF Agricul-
ture at Washington holds a unique place
among the country's great store houses of
literature.
It's librarian-in-chief, Miss Josephine AIDE
laide Clark, is a woman of marked ability
and literary culture, who has done much to
bring the library to its present state OF
completeness.
Unlike many Of the so-called department
libraries in the capital, the collection of the
Agricultural department is devoted almost
entirely to scientific and technical publica-
lions.
In one corner are a few old and worn
books that indicate the early existence of a
miscellaneous assortment OF fiction, poetry
and history, similar to that which makes
up the average library OF the departments.
But these are simply the recollection Of
what once was and in no way reflect the
wonderful character OF that magnificent
collection Of works that stands today with
out peer in the world, dealing exclusively
with agricultural and kindred Industrial
subjects.
There are on the shelves today So S75 vol
umes the largest collection of agricultural
works ever gathered together in any coun-
try. There are larger collections OF some
specific branch OF scientific inquiry, such as
tue eutoHloloBlcal library In Philadelphia,
but nowhere such generous array cover
ing the whole field of Industrial and agri-
cultural literature, The current periodicals
alone kept on file aggregate $50.
Miss Clark, whose genius as librarian has
developed this library to the present limits
OF its usefulness, has had a long and thor
ough training for her task. She is a native
or Massachusetts, having been born I'm Wes-
ton thirty-ntne years ago. Graduating from
Smith college in 1850, Miss Clark took up
the occupation OF teaching. accepting a DO
sition in Prospect Hill school, Greenfield,
where she remained from 1850 to 1883, when
she became associate principal Of a private
school at Rutland, VT, from 1854 TO 1883.
Library work, however, seems to have at
tracted her more than teaching for in the
last named year she abandoned teaching
and took course as a student In the New
YORK Library school, from which she grad
uated TO accept a position as assistant in
the Gray herbarium at Harvard where
she remained during lS9O-91.
| Miss Clark's next advancement was 70
the library Of the Agricultural department,
where she was assistant librarian until
1901 when she was appointed librarian-in-
| chief.

whnt Tro ReIIen VIII Wear.

Already two lovely sisters in Philadelphia,
one a blonde, the other brunette, know
Just what they will appear in at certain
great ball next winter.
The blonde will be in a cloth of silver.
The brunette will wear gold tissue.
These materials are quite similar. Both
are tissues of the most exquisite quality.
The blonde who is exquisitely fair, will
have no color at all about her--silver
hardly counting as such. There will be a
little shimmery real lace and quantities
of tulle which will be felt by admirlng
eyes rather than seen. Her only ornaments
will be diamonds, which will leave her
golden hair and her pansy eyes without
rivals The dress will be a trailing prin-
cess, superbly plain, mere shlrnmer Of
moonlight and dainty enough for i fairy.
As for the other of golden tissue, IL will
be much daintier than It sounds. There's
no copper in the color. It is more the clear
cool Guinea gold color, and, indeed, 1t is
perfectly refined and not at all loud,
heavy or snowy looking. It. too. will be
made in the princess style, with the bodice
lightly. almost loosely draped with the
exception of this drapery the entire dress
will be plain, flowing superbly from the
figure.
In this its wearer will be a dark-eyed
queen. Her Jewels will be turquoises set
in diamonds Just how superb the tyr
quolses are with the gold you can't think
And the diamonds give the necessary
sparkle. Gold tissue is, indeed, among
our loveliest fabrics and compared with
the heavy, clumsy, old-tlme cloth of gold
Il seems like tulle. so daintily are the
cobwebby threads woven.

Freed from bondage Of Hats.

Have l lost my hat?" asked the woman
with the uncovered head quoted by the
New York Tribune. mo; II is perfectly
safe at home 1 never wear 1t, not even
for shopping. I have gone all over New
York and Brooklyn and Long Island this
summer without any hat and don't carry
a sunshade either. Yes, It did take q
little courage a first, but now 1 have
grown to feel as II It were quite the natural
and proper thing, and I occasionally find
companions in eccentricity. 1 met two
women today who were shopping without
hats and l have a friend who went bare
headed for a whole year. She went to Eu-
rope on her wedding tour without a hat
and she used to go out driving on the
coolest days in winter muffied to the ears
in furs, but bareheaded. don't know that
l will go as far as that, but can't see any
earthly reason for wearing a hat in sum-
mer. It's a wonderful economy, too. 1 am
promising myself treat from the money
have saved on hats this season. And the
comfort OF 1t. You can have no idea OF It

their hats in a trolley car how I ever en-
dured such martyrdom."

A Woman Detective.

Pittsburg has a woman detective-not a
spotter employed in a department store or
on a street car line. for there are many of
them, but really and truly detective, who
takes her assignments just the same as
the men detectives. She is Miss Anna NJ.
Coyle and her home is at 10 East Mont
gomery avenue, Allegheny. She is licensed
TO do detective work by the city and the
state and is employed by private detec-
tive agency in that city.
1T may seem an odd calling for a
woman" said Miss Coyie recently, but
why should not a woman be a detective
as well as anything else? The work Is
pleasant and agreeable, infinitely more so
than working in store or an office. for
I have to work, as I am the sole support
of my aged mother and younger sisters

may be securing evidence against a for
