MADAME MERRI.
KEEP ATTRACTlvENESS.
Do Not Drift Into a Mere Domestic
Drudge, Careless of Looks and
Becoming Clothes.

A woman should not only regard
1t as privilege, but as a duty which
she. owes to herself and her associates,
to make as pleasing a picture of her
self as possible. In order to appear
well. a woman must give some thought
and study to the becomingness and
suitability to her years and TO the
wear for which it is intended, of the
garment she prepares. Women, while
young are not apt to slight this duty
but as they grow older the majority
of them drift into Indifference, until,
almost unconsciously, they acquire
not only careless. but too often SLOW
emily habits of person and apparel
Often, under a misguided idea OF
economy and lack of time, woman
settles down to wearing ill-fitting
dresses. shabby wraps, rusty hats and
frazzled gloves. while she discards

get this habit who stay at home,
thinking 1t their duty TO wear the
chain of domestic drudgery so tn !,
husband and children may have the
clothes and the spending money with
which to enjoy themselves. Anything
will do for her. she thinks. and they
get to thinking so. too Too often
such woman drifts into habi s Of
untidiness which are positively dis
reputable. and of which she seems ut
terly unconscious. though they render
her absolutely offensive to the eyes
of her more wiie-awake friends.
This is a woeful mistake, as it roos
her of her one attraction at time
when her youth Is gradually fading
away, and she looks o d aud spiritless
and unattractive when she should be
in her prime. Her friends soon take
her at her own valuation, and. though
hey may Lot be positively ashamed.
hey certainly are not proud Of her.

FOR A HEALTHY SKIN.
Warm Water Needed to Remove Skins
Excretions, Cold Tonic-About
Sleeping Clothes.

The body breathes through every
pore; it exhales. throws OFF fatty acids
and waste materials in the perspira-
tion; and this process OF elimination
is going on constantly in the healthy
body though we are only conscious
OF 1t when the sweat glands have been
so stimulated by exrcise that they
throw off the heat and moisture faster
than evaporation can carry II Off.
Now it is just as important to keep
the skin In a healthy state, to excite
its glands to better activity by gen
tie friction. to keep every pore open
and free from clogging dirt and dust
as 1t is to keep the lungs unhampered-
Yes, fresh air and sunshine are as
necessary to the skin as to the lungs

PERNICIOUS NATIVE HABIT
People of Northern India Much
Given to "Earthing' or Clay
Eating.

Efforts are being made to stamp out
the habit of earthing which is preva-
lent among natives over almost all
India.
In northern India the favorite form
of earth is a gray or drab-colored
shale This is excavated mostly at
Meth, in Bilkanir, and is exported to
the Punjaub at the rate of 1000 camel
loads a year.
In different districts different vari-
cites of clay are eaten, but IL the ma
tiyes have at one time a taste for a
special kind of mud as the habit in
creases the depraved appetite soon be-
comes satified with bricks and broken
pots White ant soil with the nests
and ants themselves is great deli
cacy.
The reasons given for induging in
the habit are classified under the fol-
lowing heads: First a peculiar fas-
cinating odor and taste in the clay rem
dering 1t delicacy; secondly, an un-
natural craving due to disease; third
ly to satisfy hunger; fourthly, force
OF example; filthy. supposed medic

The effects OF the habit are disas-

Pathetic Sight at Morgue.
It was a pitiful sight at the morgue
when poor Stuyanoff went there to
identify his dead friends. The sight
of the gaping wounds moved him to
tears. He knelt before each body and
made the sign of the cross as he
breathed a prayer.
Then he arose to his feet and kissed

come. Great tears rolled down his
swarthy cheeks; his big red handker-
chief was soon soaked with them. He
took the head of the murdered boy in
his arms and kissed the still face
again and again. Then he left the
room shaking with grief.

When the house of slaughter was

mystery.
Both bodies were terribly hewed and
