CASTRO PLAYING FOR DELAY
Venezuelan President insists on Avbi-
trailon--RevoIutlon threatens.

hNiS' N1NSfhNbN lHuAt0Was
La Guayra, Venezuela, Feb. l6.--The
negotiations between United States
Minister Bowen and President Castro
in the effort 10 reach an adjustment OF
the pending disputes between the two
countries are practically at standstilI.
Mr.. Bowen's efforts have been blocked
by the tactics Of Castro, which culmi-
mated recently in Castro's abrupt de-
parture from the capital when he was
pressed for frank and definite answer
to the proposition 10 arbitrate.
After his return to Caracas he de-
clined to submit to arbitration on the
ground that the matters are now be-
fore the courts Of the country. lie
made counter proposition, however,
that the United States conclude with
him an arbitration treaty 10 cover fu-
ture cases which under international
law could be considered as diplomatic
questions. This Mr.. Bowen declined,
but in return proposed that tribunal
be selected to determine whether the
asphalt case and other pending cases
are diplomatic matters. Again, Castro
refused, and pressed his demands for a
treaty to meet future cases, and here
the situation rests.
The ever-present rumors of a revolu-
tion against Castro seem at this time
to have a possible foundation. The
movement is assuming q more wide
spread character than for some time,
and 1t is considered in well-informed
circles that a revolutionary attempt is
not remote possibility.

wItte Differs with Liberals.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1s.-M. Witte,
according to the latest report, has re-
signed his position as president Of the
committee of ministers on account OF
differences with Minister Of Agriculture
Yermoloff over the conduct Of the pro-
ceedings of that body. M. Yermoloff
is probably the most liberal of En-
peror Nicholas ministers, enjoying
now, according to the story, the COM
plete favor of the emperor. He openly
advocates summoning Zemsky Sober.
The report is not confrmable at this
time.

LOST 10000 DEAD IN YEAR,
Official Returns Of Russians Killed In
Battle and by Wounds.

st, Petersburg, Feb. l5,--The official
returns for the first year Of the war,
not including Port Arthur statistics,
show that 1870, ,4S0 officers and men
passed through the hospitals going
north, Of which number l,7l0 officers
were wounded and 1908 were sick
53, $3.50 men were wounded and Y, ,5sl
were sick; 4,007 subsequently died in
hospitals; 6,744 wounded and II PAS
sick were invalided; 9,429 returned 10
Russia and 81 ,554 are still in hospitals.
Over 1900, therefore, presumably,
returned to the ranks. These figures
do not include the number Of those
killed on the field of battle, nor prob
ably those slightly injured, who re.
mained temporarily in the field hos
pitfalls. The showing is considered re-
markable.
The proportion dying in hospitals is
very low, the total loss to the active
army in wounded and sick being little
over 10000, of whom almost half have
still chance OF returning to the
ranks. The other half will be inva.
lided or returned to Russia.
The killed in battle are estimated to
have numbered between 10000 and
sc, 600.

senate in amending the agricultural

for the most of the day 1t was laid aside

WILL FAVOR RUSSIA.
Such Win BE the Final Decision Of the
North Sea Commission.

Paris, Feb. ib.-- Russian confidence
that the cars counsel will obtain q
favorable decision from the North sea
tribunal seems justified, though tech
nieally the tribunal only delivers an
"opinion" following the line OF the
testimony given by both aides. Yet the
narrowest concession regarding the pos
sihility Of torpedo boats having been ON
the Dogger Bank is quite sufficient 70
satisfy the cxar's representatives. This
concession Is contained In the tribun.
ais announcement, the last clauses Of
which are being added today. The
whole Judgment will at the latest be
completed tomorrow.
Speaking 10 the correspondent today,
an official who Is closely attaheed 10
the person Of one OF the members Of the
tribunal said;
at has proved impossible TO with.
hold admission OF the possibility and
probability OF the presence Of torpedo
boats without implying perjury on the
part OF one or two Russian witnesses
whose evidence was OF a character ex-
cluding the hypothesis Of mere error Of
eyesight or OF calculation Of the posi-
tions Of their own boats. II the tri.
bunal were q police board, different
course might have been pursued, but,
being an international arbitration coun.
ell, II can do no more than softly
smooth down the ruiiled feathers Of
each side"
According TO this informant, the con.
cession TO 'Russia's feelings will be an
expression of the belief that the Rus.
slams were wrong in thinking that tor
pedo boats showed disposition 10 at
tack, but sympathizers with the British
side Of the controversy do not disguise
a feeling of disappointment over their
defeat.

'To be a model these days you must have certain measurements. and they are difficult to get. A model. you know. can change her shape. It is cas- fly done and can be accomplished in from ten days to two months, declares Mme. Darcy.
 Imagine how difficult and even im- possible the domestic woman would think the task. Yet a professio nal model changes her figure without thought of it's strenuousness. How much shall I measure around the waist?' she asks. Then she says: Is my waist long enough and are my hips right" If she Is told that they are not. she goes home to make them right.

fully and Wonderfully Put Together.

The woman champion is not always as careful about dress as some of the women who see her think that she ought to be. One of the spectators at . recent golf tournament felt a sort of personal indignation that she had been deprived of seeing the crack player dressed as she ought by rule to have been. says the New York Sun.
 When heard she was going to play" this woman said with great disgust. T went down from the clubhouse piazza especially 10 get good view of her could hardly believe my eyes. There she was in a white duck skirt of the tight style Of several summers ago and fared out about the bottom. With that she wore faded pink shirtwaist, so far from the belt of her skirt that 1t had to be held to it by safety pin. But the worst of all was a pink tulle Low tied around the neck of the waist and puffed in the back. That was too much for mo. l started back to the piazza and stopped only 10 see that she had on tan pumps."
 Did tha clothes affect her paying?" asked one of the women with her.
 Not bit" answered the first wom. an| She won everything"
 The champion Is often disappointing in other sports. One of the women who could do more than any of the others with a motor car down on the Jersey coast last summer was most dishearten- ingly unsportsmanlike in dress. She was a wonder" said one of the same party of women, and she was better than some of the chaufYeurs in handling the racing machines But how she used to rig herself up. The day she won her race at the automobile show she ap- peared in an old-fashioned blue velvet skirt. peekaboo shirtwaist and pink chiffon hat. The only thing she wore to suggest that she was in an automobile were her gloves and goggles
 Il shall never forget the tennis tour nameut 1 saw at Newport several years ago, one of the women said when her turn came. The woman champion was Engllsh. She came out to the court, and the women who had never seen her be- fore could scarcely keep from gaspjng out their surprise. She had on white linen dress, very much embroidered. and was unmistakably rouged. Her figure was so stiff that she looked as if she might have on iron corsets. Over her face as far down as her mouth was drawn white veil
 Tn spite of this apparently inappro- priate getup she lived up to her repu- tation. Corsets, veil and even the pointed and high -heeled white canvas shoes she had on could not stop her. She beat everybody"

REALLY CAUSE FOR WONDER
Infrequency of Confusion of Words of Similar Meaning in Writ
 ing English.

When we take into consideration the millions of times in which lay and lie are confounded in popular speech. and the petty number of instances of such confusion that can be gleaned from the most exhaustive study of All our great authors, we recognize, writes . Prof. T. K. Lounsbury, in Harpers Magazine. what 1t Is that constitutes that consensus of which Quintilian speaks as the authority to which we all have to submit.
 No better proof indeed is there of the right to rule which inheres in the collective body of great authors than the fact that so few errors of this sort occur in the heat of composition or pass unchallenged in revision. The wonder must always be. not that they happen. but that they happen so rare. ly. Least of all should linguistic stu. dents make their appearance. if they do appear. a matter of repToach. when we find a similar confusion between set and sit in the writings of . pro- fessed philologist. The late George Perkins Marsh was one of the foremost promoters of English scholarship. To the students of the former generation his works did more than furnish in- struction: they were an inspiration. Yet in the second of hIs lectures on the English language he speaks of . person giving "a chuck with his mouth not unlike the note of a setting hen" One would naturally suppose that . linguistic scholar, who was in addition stern critic of usage. ought to know sooner than anyone else that. though anybody can set hen. the hen herself sits. The confusion of the two verbs is. however, so common in converse tion that it is liable at any time to appear in print. The only thing re- markable about the example just given Is that 1t should occur where 1t does.

STYLES FOR STOUT WOMAN
Should Not Only Avoid Large Fig ured Materials, But Also Tight
 Fitting Tailor Made Apparel.

The woman who Is stout must not be tempted to wear ge-fgured lawns. musllns. silks. etc: nor should she wear plaids; while tailor made. tight fitting garments must not be thought of. nor unlined blouses, which but reveal and accentuate her super generous proportions.
 There are. however. some stout forms so perfectly proportioned-the adlposity so evenly distributed-as not to give the impression of too, too solid flesh" and the woman who really Is perfectly proportioned can certainly wear tailor-made garments bearing in mind to have all lines and trimmings placed lengthways.
 As rule the increase of flesh does not spread evenly or proportionately over the entire body, but settles around the hips and abdomen. giving the appearance of high waist and short front from neck to waist.
 The straight-fronted corset is a boon to the stout woman. for. although 1t increases the waist size. it reduces the appearance of stoutness below the waist and round the hips. and insures much more graceful form and car rtage than the ordinary corset.
 The stout woman must give atten- tion to her underwear, as we'll as her outer attire. and she should wear com binations of flne-woven material: a silk and wool mixture wears well.
 The straight-fronted corset should be put on thus Loosen the lace. so that the corsets can be fastened easily when on the figure; pull them down gently until they rest snugly in the waist, and be sure to pull them well down In front; then put the hand down the corset. and pull up the su- perfluous flesh of the abdomen to above the waist-line. keeping the cor sets well down, and. when they are laced in, the corset lower part will act as belt or support below the waist, and the actual fatty flesh. be- ing raised above the waist, is now resting snugly in the corset. leaving below the waist flat and thoroughly supported. Draw the lace well in from waist downwards, but above the waist leave the corset easy: never mind the increase of size there; you will not only look better figure when dressed, but you will be able to breathe freely, and not invite indges ton.

BEAUTY NOTES.

Did you ever try the little mental science trick of walking along with scintfllating star upon your chest and an imaginary basket of eggs upon your head? know of no better plan to acquire perfect boise than this.
 Merely fancy that the star is upon the middle of your chest. and you will ind yourself carrying your shoulders like a military man; with head we'll erect and chest high.
 When you are about to sit down, don't go all in a heap In a chair, but simply fancy that you have a basket of eggs upon your head. and you will find yourself sinking gently and grace fully Into your seat. The same mental ter of going upstairs.
 One cannot bend forward. or rush upstairs, etc. as so many women do, with a basket of eggs upon ones head.
 There Is more in grace of movement than many suppose.
 Only water that has been boiled and cooled should be used for the face, unless one is fortunate enough to ob- tain rain water. Either will give a soft. velyety feel to the skin. Regular daily exercise In the fresh air and sunlight is indispensable to everyone; and always have a free cir culation of air in your bedroom.
 Nervous W men should sleep eight hours at night and one hour during the day.

NERVES AND BEAUTY.
Plenty of Fresh Air and Some Inter esting Work Should Preserve
 Ones Youth and Health.

The nervous woman, heaven pity her. She makes herself and every body around her perfectly miserable Sometimes there's cause for the nervousness. and then she's to be pitied. and sometimes it's just a habit one gets into of being unreason- able and fussy. and generally looking on the blue side of everything.
 When the nervous system gets out of order the whole system lags in sympathy. The digestive system. the liver and the heart all refuse to do their work. Every nervous woman should eat five or six times a day. She should eat three meals, have a lunch between meals, and never omit the warm urink taken just before she goes to bed. Gentle exercise and work are as necessary to the woman with nerves as food and fresh air. An active interest in life will be her sal vation. but generally the woman in such a condition thinks she isn't in- terested in thing in life. so she must keep at work until she develops an in- terest.
 A celebrated physician has said If you wish never to be nervous live with reason, have a purpose in life and work for 1t: play 1oyously. strive not for the unattainable, be not an noyed by trines. aim to attain neither great knowledge nor great riches. be not self-centered. but love the good and thy neighbor as myself" A eel. ebrated and charming actress, whose age 1t would be rude to chronicle, but who still looks quite young. though she Is grandmother. gives the fol lowing prescription for the preserva- ton of youth and beauty: You must work until you are tired, sleep until you are rested. have plenty of fresh air. live in cool rooms. take a daily sponge bath and eat the simplest food"
