THE KAREN WOMEN.

Like the SiameSe, says Outing, the
Karen women are not good to look
upon and do not improve their ap-
pearance any by style of ornaments
they affect. When very young their
ears are pierced to admit a small
round stick, which is gradually in
creased in diameter until by the time
the little girls have become women
their ears easily accommodate a two
inch disc of blackened bamboo. This
stretches the ears hideously, as may
be imagined; and when the ornament
Is laid aside temporarily,-we
ture the thin strips of pendent eai
lobei AS a rule the Karen women
wear their hair long, but, like the
Siamese, some cut it short, and others
again keep it cropped close, except on
top of the head, where it is allowed to
grow to its natural length-which
does not add to their by no means
overabundance of good looks. Some
times the unmarried woman wears
a breast cloth, but for the most part
men and women wear a long girdle,
and sometimes even that is set aside
in hot weather.
To thoroughly appreciate Japanese
women one should begin the far east
ern trip at the Malay peninsula, jour
neying thence through Siam. Anum,
Cambodia and China-though confess
to preferring a good looking Chinese
girl to the alleged Japanese beauty.
Bracelets and necklaces of bam-
boo are the other usual ornaments,
except when they can AFFORD a narrow
neckband of silver which protects,
so it is believed, against many evils
that Turk along life's wayside even in
the jungle. The men also wear this
neckband and bamboo an inch in d.
ameter and about four inches long
stuck through their ear lobes. Some
of the boys are rather good looking.
They wear their hair In knot like
horn on the forehead. or at one side
or the other of the head. or on top;
and usually a turban crowns the top
knot. All in all, the Karens differ
not a great deal from the Siamese in
physiognomy. but the people in this
section of the far east shade into one
another rather easily.

GRAVES.

There Is nothing that adds so much
to a dinner for so small cost as do
good gravies, and there is nothing less
palatable than bad gravy. One
must have stock, or glace, to begin
with, and the only way to get this is
to be forever on the lookout for any
bit of meat that can be boiled. Many
a hardworking woman will take her
corn beef from the pot and, after
skimming the grease from 1t, throw
away the water left in the pot. This
is the poorest economy. The con-
tents of the kettle should be poured
into a stone jar, and any meat re-
naming after the meal should be put
into It. All boiled or stewed meats,
ham or beef, should be treated in this
way. After the grease has been skim
med from the top and the meat used,
this stock should be boiled down to
a jelly, and this jelly will keep for
weeks in winter, or for several days
In summer, with thin layer OF
grease covering the top, If set away
In cool place. Having this glace on
hand, one has but to thicken 1t with
brown flour to have nice gravy. To
prepare the Drowned -four, sift and
spread flour over the bottom of Dip
ping pans and brown on the stove or
in the oven, stirring constantly to
prevent it scorching. Prepare quite
a quantity at time and keep in clos
ed cans. With different fiavors,
many delicious gravies may be made
of this stock.

sATIN COMING m.

IN selecting a ball gown the main
possible while keeping 1t at the same
time becoming and fashioned after
the latest modes. Especially for the
debutante and younger members OF
society is a gown of tulle. chiffon, and
silk mousseline. attractive, but the
great drawback Is its extreme per-
lhableness. 1t Is weli-nigh fmpossl'
ole to make net gown last through
one season even, so that If there can
not be many "best" gowns provided
in the outfit 1t were well to have these
few Of some lasting and serviceable
material. says the Washington Times.
Already advance winter textures are
for sale, but also there are some
few of last years materials still left
to be disposed of, and 1t is among the
silks and satins, which. while not OF
latest fashion, perhaps are still al
most equally attractive, that the real
bargains are to be found. Even II
2 the gown is not to be made up imme-
diately it is well worth while. If one
can find Just the piece of silk or satin
desired, to invest at once, that 1t may
be on hand and made up early In the
autumn or winter.
Satin is to be immensely fashion
able this season of 19O5-19O6, and in
all shades from the palest to the most
brilliant will be worn for dinner,
opera and balls. If made of heavy
quality the gown is generally more
or less simple, but the thinner va
rieties, in so far as they are all SOFT
er and more pliable, need a certain
amount of trimming and elaboration
to be sufficiently effective. Among
the new satins or silks is the social
ed ''radium," an exquisitely pretty ma
terial, soft and shimmering which is
already very fashionable and Is des-
tined to meet with still wider popu-
la " as time goes on. A white or
black satin gown if the material is
of the best and the cut and fit perfect,
may be absolutely plain. save for
some little lace or maline about the
decollettage and still be wonderfully
effective. There need be no girdle to
this gown, although waist and skirt
are separate, the bodice being fasten-
ed in back beneath a band shirring.
Satin and dull finish crepe de chine
are both more than ever popular and
many of the handsome and most ex-
pensive models in evening gowns for
this season and the next are of richly
embroidered crepe. The dresses in
embroidered crepe are not at all diff
cult to make up, and in many cases
make most effective gowns at COM
paratively little cost.
Brocade in both large and small
flower designs is destined to be even
more fashionable than last winter,
when the material had not been seen
to any extent for some little time.
Brocade must not be too much cut up
with bands of lace and embroidery, as
unless the pattern is very vague and
indefinite, all trimming tends to short
en- the figure unbecomingly.
F1owered silks and taffetas of solid
shade always wear well and are bound
to be attractive if becoming shade
Is chosen. Color contrasts are work
ed in with the Powered silks even
more than with The solid shades.

Two Hundred of Them do Battle Whit
Police Officers.
STARTED WITH CLASS RUSH.
Police Had to Draw Revolvers and
Fire Over Heads of Students Be-
Students Are Arrested.

Chicago, Oct. 2S - twenty-five po
licemen and 200 students of the Chi
cago College of Dental Surgery. en-
gagged in a fierce fight this afternoon,
and before order had been restored
fifteen of the students had been ar
rested. At one point during the fight
the police were forced to fire shots
over the heads of the students to
scare them back.
The freshman and junior classes of
the institution met in their annual
class rush and the battle became so
desperate that a riot call was sent in
to the two police stations in the vi
entity When the police arrived on
the scene the battle between the stu
dents had been in progress for half an
hour, and had blocked all the street
car and wagon traffic in nearby
streets. The students who were in
the thick of the fight joined forces as
soon as they saw the approach of the
patrol wagons, and the bluecoats were
pelted on all sides with stones and
vegetables, while water was poured
on them by students from the upper
floors of the college.
After this state of affairs had been
going on for some time and the police
were getting decidedly the worst of
the battle, the bluecoats drew their
revolvers and fired several shots. This
brought the students to their senses
and they ran in all directions, but the
police succeeded in making fifteen cap
lures.
All the students bore signs of the
conflict in their rent garments, and a
number of them suffered severe cuts
about their heads and faces from the
punishment administered by the po-
lice.
An investigation has been begun by
the faculty and the ringleaders OF the
disturbance will be punished.

Hinton, Ky, Oct 3Oth.-(Special)
1t has long been claimed that Dia-
betes is incurable, but Mr.. E. J.
Thompson, teacher in the Hinton
school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and
is cured. In a statement he makes
regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
| had Diabetes and there was little to
be done for me. Then | started to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what they
did for me was wonderful. 1t is en-
tirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Di-
abetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.
The discretion that is known as the
better part of valor may merely be
cowardice in disguise.

LAW URGED BY SELr.sEEKERs.
Seal Animus of Movement Against
Remedi Deservedly Popular.

An adroit but plausible scheme by
which it is hoped to prejudice the sale
of proprietary medicines is the propo-
sition to prohibit the sale Of any rem
edy which contains poison" unless
each package or bottle is expressly Ia
beled Poison" Such bills are also
well designed to impose upon men who
have no familiarity with the subject
matter. The pretense of protecting
the public health put forth in support
of such bills is generally the merest
subterfuge; and whenever you hear
demand for law of this kind it
originates with those VINO have
a direct pecuniary interest to serve by
destroying the sale of proprietary rem
edies.
Some of the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which, if taken
in sufficient quantities, might be poi
sonous. and yet the preparation as
whole is not poisonous at all, Opium,
for instance, is used in small quantl-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, diarrhea, etc, in tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false
ly labeled poison" would he merely a
cunning device to alarm the public
and thus bring about the destruction
of the sale of those remedies, and in
directly to compel people to procure
the medicine they want by the more
expensive method of consulting ply
stefan and getting his prescription. In
other words, it is an effort to prevent
them from getting cheapy the RENE
dies which they and their fathers be-
fore them have used for many years.

When Nelson Shivered.

The English papers tell new
story of Nelson, one which is not par
ticularly appropriate to these days of
friendliness between England and
France Nelson was talking one day
with Mrs. Swinburne, of Hamsterly
and the conversation turned upon
Frenchmen. Il never see a French
man, Mrs. Swinburne," said Nelson,
without shivering from head to
foot" AS the reator of the anecdote
says, any one who has seen a dog
quivering when restrained from fall
ing upon familiar enemy will APP
preciate the feeling that made Nelson
SILVER. Fighting was not mere pro-
fession with Nelson. He felt as he
fought.

GERMANY AFFECTED.

Berlin, Oct 30.-The conditions in
Russia are beginning to have mark
ed effect on the financial and COM
mercial life of Berlin. The grain mar
ket was wildly excited through the
interruption of arrivals from Russia
and the prices jumped up and down
spasmodically. The suspension of the
Russian freight movement is doing
special damage to German trade be-
cause of the unusually heavy stocks
of agricultural products which are
now due to arrive from Russia. Ow-
ing to the near approach of the time
when the new commercial treaty be-
tween Russia and Germany goes into
effect, German merchants have been
buying for speculative purposes.
The news from Russia also affect
ed the bourse most adversely and Rus
sian bonds gave way to an. extent
greater than that at Lao Yang and
Mukden
The weakness spread to all depart
ments of the market and domestic
iron and coal shares suffered severe
ly, especially the shares of companies
dependent on Russian trade. Anoth-
er feature developed on the boul~e
was the heavy speculative selling of
Russian exchange. 1t is explained
that these sales were made partly by
the holders of Russian securities as in
surance against depreciation.

When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia e. Pinlhham' s
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact. up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia f. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

Compound had saved other women from
serious operations ! decided to try it, and in
less than four months l was entirely cured;

Dear Mrs Pipkham;-

severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
