SCIENCE ADDS TO LIFE.
Doctor Wiley Says Limit viii Soon be 90
Years.

Years.
Dr. II. W. Wiley, chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry, declared
recently, says the New York Her,
aid, that science has done much
for the human race in the way Of
increasing the average length of
life. Progress in science, ne
said, would soon put the limit of
activity up to 80 years.
"Start with a good pedigree,
then live ratonally," was Doctor
Wiley's summing up He prom
ulgated four laws of health, the
observance of which would put
any naturally healthy individual
IN d fair way to realizing the
truthfulness of the scientists
theory. Theseare heredlty, tenn

"To live long one must live
moderately, both as to eating and
drinking" said Doctor Wiley.
1T is not necessary to be a pro-
hIbItionist, but one must not dis

between 30 and 40 years of age.
Age hardens the veins Tissue

When the veins harden they are
liable to snap without warning.
This causes large proportion of
the sudden deaths.

healthy body and living temper

.Idlers rust out. Workers should
exercise their talents IN a way to
prolong life, by following great
endeavors by periods devoted to
play. Recreation is an essential
part Of the recipe for old age.
Amusement is as necessary as
sustained endeavor if one looks
for mentality and health in old
age.
"To achieve this desired end

the aum Der of babies who die be-
cause Of improper feeding and
dosing with soothing syrups.
Science is winning out against
such scourges as dIphtheria, con

es,
These scientific facts and de-
velopments give assurance that
the average human life OF useful
ness will be increasd TO 20 years
instead of 40, and that the maxi

What used to be regarded as
a generation was thirty-three and
a third years, but now it is more
than forty years.

Furnishings for Dining Room of 05|

MN ITHOUT crook or curve and with
NAV, out high polish, furniture con-
tinues to be built along the
simplest lines for another year, and
new models in dining room furniture
show no exception to the rule. This. of
course, applies TO homes where serv-
ants are few and the income moderate.
Furniture for the dining room of the
millionaire is more magnificent than
ever in massive carvings and richly
hued tapestries.
A circular table and set of high
backed chairs recently imported for a
wealthy oil king, has the woodwork of
fumed oak carved to show figures Of
lions. The sumptuous upholstery for
the chairs is of scarlet tapestry woven
with huge crown i'm the center of the
back and seat. A dragon shaped ami
NAL stands inside the crown. and the
whole design represents the family
crest of the owner. Crouching figures
of lions form the legs of the table.
In strong contrast TO this elaborate
and costly furniture. another set OF
fittings for a dining room has its vari-

gether. The lining of the coat and
skirt, which is trimmed with an en-
broidery in black chenille, is of pale
silver gray satin.
The effect of the. graceful gown is
narrow shouldered and sweeping. 1t
hints of very pretty woman and in
vincible prowess in the way of coquet-
ry-as we'll as a fat pocketbook. For,
of course, such perfection of style may
only be obtained by the richest mate
rials and most finished make.
There are so many recommendations
toward velvet as a material for the
new redingote costumes that it looks
as if this rich texture is to be worn
far into the spring. Highly finished
French cloth, panne broadcloth and
satin are other textures discussed,
some of the cloth models showing
braids put on in many elaborate ways.
A brown cloth gown has bands of
plated taffetaS put on in one of the
new ways for braid.
In the big squares made by the
bands, button molds. covered with
silk, are ornamentally placed.
A number of the velvet coats will

0ogue for Gun Metal IS Growing

mems calling cards are convenient to
slip inside the dress suit pocket. Cigar
piercers are a new device in gun metal,
~by means of which the smoker makes
a hole in a cigar instead of cutting off
the end. A featherweight ruler, six
inches in length, holds q very thin
knife, which is backed by tiny cylin-
der containing a red and green pencil.
These colored points are manipulated
by tiny green and red stones attached
to the pencils.
Small boxes of gun metal in most
attractive shapes serve as a picture
frame on one side, while the recep-
tacle itself is intended for jeweled pins
and buttons. Dressing table clocks,
not much larger than a mans thumb,
are made of gun metal, and have a
circle of rhineStoneS surrounding the
face, which is the size of a shilling.
Pocketbooks in the mouse gray metal
look very much like seal leather They
are attached to gun metal chain
made Of exceptionally strong links, and
the covers are often beautifully inlaid
with designs in mother Of pearl. Chat
elaine bags are made of closely woven
gun metal links, and are wonderfully
strong.
Big amethysts make a remarkably
stunning long chain for the neck. when
interspersed and held togther with
iiihS oL gun metal. cross penuanIS,
enjoying at present such a vogue, are
also formed of gun metal. Ladies'
watches have gun metal cases set with
diamonds, and a durable fob has an
inch wide ribbon of closely interviewer
gun metal links finished with a heart
shaped locket or vanity mirror studded
with diamonds. The woman of middle
age and quiet taste will take no end
of satisfaction in a gun metal brooch

finish, modelled on the straight, severe
lines Of an old English design. The
table is oblong and rests on straight
legs, crossed as in old fashioned ban
quoting tables. Each piece of the set.

inlaid with design of diamond shaped
figures Of sage green wood surround

The entire figure is not over eight

The chairs are upholstered in bright
red leather.
Cabinets and sideboards are all built

The Economical Housewife Makes Use of Remaining
Portions of Meals

IA VERY good housewife studies
M economy, but she cannot put this
art into practice without knowl-
edge of what to do with portions which
remain from previous meals. Nor is
she so tactless as to call them left
overs when they come to her table dis
guised effectively in appetizing form.
Especially for luncheon and breakfast
are the leftover dishes toothsome.
GibIet OmeIete
Among the left-overs likely to
be found in the refrigerator is
giblet gravy, remaining from the
roast chicken or turkey. A delicious
luncheon or breakfast dish can be made
by utilizing it for the filling of tasty
omelette. Unless the gravy is excep-
tionally thick it will be well to add a
little smoothly blended, Drowned flour
and water after reheating. The ONE
lette should be made after the usual
manner, the gravy spread over the
surface just before folding and poured
around it and on the dish if there is
sufficient quantity.

Patties of Chicken and Mushrooms

Patties of Chicken and Mushrooms
The tasty little patty shells which can
be purchased ready for use from the
baker are helpful in utilizing many
left-overs. An entree may be made
from small quantity Of cold chicken
meat combined with fresh mushrooms
in nearly equal proportions. The chick
en- should be cut into dice and set aside
until needed. The mushrooms are best
of the small sort. and must be peeled
and washed, then placed in a porce-
lain lined saucepan with butter that
has been cut into bits and rolled in
flour. Cover tightly and allow to stew
on the side of the stove for fifteen
minutes. For a quarter of a pound OF
mushrooms use half tablespoonful of
flour and a tablespoonful of butter.
When the mushrooms are tender, stir
in rich milk, or half milk and cream,
using one cupful for the quarter of a
pound of mushrooms. Stir until per-
fectly smooth, then add the chicken
meat and season TO taste. Stand over
boiling water until thoroughly heated,
and put the patty shells on the oven to
heat. At the time of serving fill with

Fine JRondwork shown in Aprons

66MUCH a demand for dainty
~ aprons has not been known
during the years 1 have been
in charge" said the head of the lin
gerie section in big department
store. Our stock has been replenish-
ed several times In the past two
months. Women buy noe only the
filmiest Of muslins for their own use.
but they provide their maids and
mattresses with the finest Of gauze
and lace aprons for wear when the
heavy work is finished"
1t is undoubtedly true that house
maids are no longer seen with big
linen or muslin aprons after the morn
ing hours. Even mattresses use squares
OF muslin with lace bibS, and when
they do wear big aprons the tie strings
are narrow and fastened in a small
bow, while the bib is made of the fin
est embroidery in upright and diagonal
strips and perhaps a frill of edging
embroidery on either side. With the
disappearance OF huge tie strings on
aprons, large and fussy caps for maids
have also taken their departure. If
servant wears anything on her head 1t
is a very unpretentious bow of white
muslin.
Dotted swiss Is the material used In
smart aprons for housemaids' wear.
The pice below the waist line or the
flap of the apron is not over eighteen
inches long and about twelve inches
wide, and is shirred into the band with
very little fullness. The corners are
gracefully rounded. and it is finished
with a ruffie of the dotted swiss or
very fine embroidery. The tie strings
and strips Of the bib, which extends
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-02-26

half way UP from the waist line, are
also made of dotted swiss.
A woman who has her retinue OF
maid servants uniformed in light blue
ginghams provides them with tiny
aprons made from handkerchiefs hav-
ing narrow light blue hens. The
aprons have a wide rufle of the blue
bordered handkerchief around the largo
square below and the small square bib.
Dainty little aprons, with rounding
corners and hemstitched borders, are
sold for 35 cents q piece. They have
very narrow strings and no bib, but
they are as sheer and smart as any
hOusekeeper could wish. Very wide
embroidery is also used for making
maids aprons.
Chafing dish parties are responsible
for many pretty aprons. These are
made from alternate strips of Yalen-
ciennes and muslin. the latter being
about twice the width of the lace and
cut in points at the bottom. The apron
is edged with 'valenciennes, and the
lace and muslin make a pointed pocket.
Valenciennes lace is also inserted at
the corners of an apron in the figure
OF a bow knot. Fflmy handkerchief
squares make charming little aprons.
and they have a waiStband OF wide
insertion through which some delicate
shade OF satin ribbon is run to servs
as tie strings. ChouX of narrow satin
baby ribbon are fastened at the cor
ners of an apron. and they are espe-
cially pretty on tucked mousseline. Or
candle and dimities with delicate flow
er patterns make useful and extremely
fetching aprons. White taffeta aprons
have the corners decorated with hand
painted forget-me- nots.
Most attractive for cotillon favors
are aprons made from crepe paper
with ruffies OF paper in gayly howered
patterns.

EP HE feminine world, having created
a vogue for gun metal, has found
it decidedly to its liking, and the
woman Of 1905 values her belongings
In this silky metal quite as highly as
those in silver or gold. AS a gift for
one of her men friends, some article in
gun metal will find particular favor
with the masculine fancy because Of
the ease with which it is kept in good
condition, as well as because of its al
most imperceptible weight. But COM
bined with jewels, imitation or real,
the upto-date woman pins her faith
to gun metal, especially for dress ac-
cessories which require so much care
when they are in silver, and are too
costly or fiashy when they are gold.
The most expensive gun metal is
that which is made in this country.
