While scratching his nose with the
end of a loaded revolver a man in
Paris accidentally pulled the trigger
and blew off the tip of TIE nose.
In the midst of an electric storm

the men, who rushed about In the rain

I was discovered that lightning had

The death lately occurred at West

Of a 4G.year-old baby" The person
was born in Westbury, and at the age
of ~ months its further development,

arrested. Throughout its life 1t was
attired In baby's frock clothes. and
continued to act and play and had to
be fed and taken care Of precisely as

An extraordinary sudden death 90
currred the other day in Paris. A

A Pretty Design for Evening Glove,
Afternoon and Evening Lengths
White Ones in Fashion.

A PRETTY DESIGN.-One of the
prettiest styles of elbow-gloves yet
shown Is delicately shaded at the top
an almost imperceptible mauve. with a
slightly-embosscd and . indefinitely
traced pattern upon 1t of lilies of the
valley or Ivy leaves. Bas-relief pat
terms of the same indefinite and pic
turesQue nature appear on the upper
arm OF white gloves, shaded a faint
shell-pink or n faint sea-green.
STYLES TO WEAR.-Except for
mourning wear. white gloves are worn
upcn all smart occasions. For even
ing wear the glove must rise beyond
the elbow and meet tho short evening
sleeve more than halfway mp to the
shoulder. For day wear the gloves are
slightly shorter. and need not rise
higher than the elbow. for. although
day gowns tire worn with short sleeves

INCLINED TO

The best the girl. with freckles can
hope to do is to keep them faded,
that they do not show 50 much; she
cannot remove them; if she take the
skin of the new skin is soon very
lnuch worse than the old, being so ten
der hat it is the more easily affected
ty the rays of light.
A very present help in keeping
f,eckles faded out is to always wear a
yellow veil; there is something In the
chemical change IN the rays passing
through the yellow chiffon that keeps
them from affecting the cuticle. And
another help is to plaster her face
with cold cream and powder beneath
the veil when going into the light and
heat out of doors IN summer.
Then she should not wash with soap,
but use the bran bags and almond meal

SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY
PROVE OF HELP.
The First Year Comes the Cotton
Wedding-May Be Made a Gay
Affair-some Astrologi-
cal Lore,
The "Cotton" Wedding,

One year Of welded life brings the
Cotton" anniversary. and 1t may
be made a most attractive affair. So
soon after the original ceremony it will
probably not be a difficult matter to
arrange for q reunion OF the bridal
party. and this alone will make the
occasion q memorable one. Send the
invitations on squares of fine cotton
cloth written with indelible ink.
Decorate the rooms with vines, plants
and branches. Over these put a guam.
tity Of fluffy cotton fakes. Portieres
and window drapes are effective made
from strips of white cotton. If cards
are to be the amusement, Hearts is
a good game, and there are so many
articles in the shape of hearts which
will make appropriate souvenirs and
prizes. The dining-room table may be
covered with thin layers Of cotton In.
stead Of a linen cover. At each place
put a cotton SNOWFALL tied with ribbon,
the name card tucked under the bow,
Inside the ball put a tiny souvenir.
The center-piece should be a j~ardiniere
wrapped with cotton and filled with
the kind of flowers that were used at
Me event Of a year ago.
There should be a wedding cake con.
tanning a ring, piece of money and a
thimble; all young people know the
meaning of these symbols, and there
will be a jolly time when the bride
cuts the cake. Have the ice cream
frozen in balls, tied with ribbons OF
spun sugar candy of the color used al
the original wedding supper.

CLEANING WHITE KID.-You can
clean white kid gloves at home by this
process: Place the glove In a small
basin, and pour over just enough ben
zoline to cover, set a plate over the
basin. SO as to prevent the spirit evap-
Grating, and let the glove soak for five
minutes. Have a thick cloth ready On
the table and a piece OF clean flannel.
take the glove out of the basin, let Il
drip a little, set 1t on the cloth, and
wipe 1t with the flannel. changing the
surface constantly as 1t Is soilod. The
glove must not be rubbed too hard or
the surface will be spoiled. When the
glove Is quite clean, blow into 1t &c

QUEER DoINGs OF MEN.

A man will always stir his coffee be-
fore drinking 1t. This is very foolish
he should taste 1t first to see II 1t needs

A man subjects the point of his pen
to careful scrutiny before commencing
to write a letter. A woman starts right
on-jabs her pen in the inkpot and
straightway begins to scribble as II
her life depended on it.
Few men open their personal CORE
spondence without looking at the post
marks to see the time Of posting.
Women on the other hand. tear open
the envelope at ~once-they are in too
much Of a hurry to waste any time.
1t Is the man who let's out secrets
not by telling them, but by ill-timed
silences. He does worse-by refusing
to crafty the curiosity of his ques-
toners he invariably causes them to
jump to conclusions much more dam
aging than the truth of the matter.
1t is the man who reads with his
back to the light, holding his book In
me hand. Herein lies wisdom. A
woman rests her book on the table
and leans both elbows thereon. But
the foolishness of the mans act lies In
the fact that he is seeking comfort and
seldom takes this position because Il

The system was first established in 1871,
and there are at present two hundred and sew

the Government, one hundred and ninety-two
of which are the Atlantic coast, sixty-eight
on the Great Lakes, sixteen the Pacific

There were only three hundred and sixty

three hundred and fifty In Philadelphia in
1904 six hundred and fourteen divorce cases
are on record against three hundred and sixty

OCCUPATIONS for Women

BASED upon the returns of the last census,
- there are in the United States to-day
more than a million females over ten years
of age, engaged in agricultural pursuits; but
nearly two-thirds of these are the colored
women and children at work in the cotton,
tobacco, and sugar plantations. There are,
however, 5000 engaged in trade and trans
portation, and 5oo, 900 in trade and mechan-
zeal pursuits, chiefly. of course, dressmaking
millinery, and sewing.
Still, there were in 1000 about $500 female
ironworkers in foundries, furnaces, and rolling
mills, and 900 oyster men, or rather oyster
women, and 1900 timers.
Among what might be called the curiosities
of the census is the recording of 6,663 female
messenger, errand, and office BOYS" a. 3o2
female bundle and cash boys" 600 female

AS Rai1road Hands
Few people have ever seen women railroad
tive engineers and firemen, yet there are
forty-hve; or street-car conductors, of which
there are forty-six, and two motormen
If any wish the privilege of being inferred
by women there are gao such undertakers, one
third of whom are in the State of New York
most of the others living in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, California, Illinois, New Jersey, and
Massachusetts There are also ninety-one
women sections.
Although women supposed to like
auctions, it must be chiefly as buyers, for there
are only three auctioneerS of that sex.
On the other hand, there are 18s female
blacksmiths, mostly in New York, Penn
sylvania, and Missouri, and GA female coal
miners
While there are I5s brick and stone-masons,
forty-four plasterers, 1928 plumbers and gas
filters, and I43 stone-cutters, there are only
two women roofers.

There are I13 female woodchoppers; most

 The Washington Star calls atten- ton to the fact that John Sharp Wil Hams is the latest. of our political leaders to declare in favor of choos- ing United States Senators by direct vote of the people. And the Star says in time that policy will be ad- opted. Meanwhile the equiyalent-fn- structing the legislature by primary election-is steadily making progress, and wherever employed is giving sat isfaction. It will answer very well until the slow process of amending the Constitution enables us to put aside formally piece of machinery now pretty thoroughly dlscredited. Mir. Williams is understood to be a candidate for the Senate, and thus commits himself to the primary plan in his own race. This insures can vass of Mississippi by him and by his rivals, with the Senatorship the issue. and a discussion of national questions the attraction to draw the people to their meetings. Such a canvass may be little expensive for the aspirants but the people are benefited by the opportunity to take their measure.
