MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE.

Give more attention to the comfort
and coziness of your rooms during
the evening hours,'' was the advice of
matron TO II young bride iii a maze Of
doubt as TO what was most essential in
the furnishing of her small. new home.
1T has always been my policy to
make the living rooms most attractive
when all the family is using them. and
as my husband and boys are downtown
during the day, this means during the
hours after sundown. Have your
house radiate cheer and complete con-
trast to the grayness. of office walls OF
workaday hours. This is one of the
secrets of keeping your hunsand fond
of his home.'
To the up-to-date homemaker this
question of making the house attrac
tive after the dinner hour is the most
important one, and the shading of
artificial light is the secret of the room
beautiful when old Sol is out OF sight
OF the four methods by which this is
accomplished. the oil lamp is the
coolest and for practical purposes the
most artistic. Especially in winter
nights it sheds n warm glow over
room, and n good book or the evening
paper under its steady light is enjoyed
in solid comfort.-Indianapo News.

Mrs. William Il. Leeds has caught this
bracelet manid and lately has been seen
wearing four gold circlets set With
black and white pearls on one of her
beauteous arms, which some one has
said are Fashioned after the Venus of

arm was Il single band of the same
design. Bracelets worn by fashionable
women this season must match in color
tone, even though they are entirely
different in design and cost. The
triumph of the bracelet, jewelers. say,
will occur about the time the opera
season begins and social festivity is let
loose in New York. Then the rivalry
in this line will be worth going out OF

WEALTHY MEN OF TODAY

II IS admitted that we are the rich

cess. The vaunted wealth of Croesus
is estimated at only sS.000.000, but
thele are seventy American estates
thai average s35,000,000 each. As
showing the rapid growth of indivd-
ual fortunes in this country there is
interest in a list of rich men, printed
in 1855, according to which New York
city at that time boasted only twenty
eight millionaires. And a pamphlet
pub sshed some years earlier says thai
in 1915 Philadelphia could show only
ten estates valued at s1000,000 or
more. the richest being that of Ste
bheli Girard, which reached $1,000. 900.
In contrast to which in 1892 there
worr over 200 millionaires in Phila-
delphia.
AS to New York city, the number
of its millionaires. according to best
information. is over 1000. while the
NUMBER OF millionalres in the United
States is at least 5000. or half the
total number in the world. There is
one family alone, at the head of which
stands the richest and most powerful
man in the world, John d. Rockefeller.

done at not exactly prohibitive prices.
For tiny girls. the prettiest little

A WOMAN ENGINEER.

Mrs. w. G. Manning, who lives seven
miles south of Monroe City, is prob
ably the only woman engineer in Mis-
souri,.
Her husband operates a sawmill, and
for two years Mrs. Manning has acted
as engineer MIR. Manning says:
Prior to two years ago 1 employed
men at different times as engineer, all
of whom were more or less unsatisfac-
tory. Upon one occasion the engineer
did not show up. My wife told me to
turn the engine over to her.
AT first | hesitated, but finally de-
cided to let her try it. To my surprise
she handled the engine all right and
we did one of the best days work of
the season. For two years she has
run the engine with little expense for
repairs. She readily detects lost mo-
ton or other defects, and, when neces-
sary, will shut down to make repairs.
If the log is a large one or knotty she
regulates the power accordingly, and
keeps the speed uniform.
I've tried several engineers. but
she's the best one 1 ever had."-Phila-

was introduced to young man named
Hastings. who had inherited colos-

already gambied away. They com

marking at the same time that he
must soon cut out that sort of fun,
as ne was about to marry and settle
down.
Scrope was in great luck, Main af-

"Auto-preservation" is the name
WHICH Signor Vercelloni. an Italian
doctor, has given to a discovery that
preserves the human body without
the use of ordinary methods of EN-
balming.
There is no necessity to touch
the body at all, much less to dissect
it," explains the doctor. The old
method, which is a very expensive
one, is entirely done away with. No
unctions or wrappings are used.
The body is simply placed in a
zinc coffin, which is laid inside an
ordinary wooden coffin, and between
the two a patent powder mixture is
sprinkled, which preserves every
feature of the body, and especially
of the face, exactly as it was at death.
