ing the Russo-Japanese war the sym
pathies of those young men of the
middle class, who have Indian blood
in their veins, were strongly with the
brown warriors of Nippon. Mexican
Indians of cultivation, of whom there

Prof. Albert H. Smyth of the Central

The younger men of the country.
says F. r. Guernsey, in the February
Atlantic, have shown a decided bent
toward military life. and thousands OF
them have voluntarily subjected them
selves to drill and discipline. Steadi-
ly. and without making any parade
of its purpose, the government has de
voted much attention and money to
the perfecting of its army. Military
men have been stationed in Europe
to watch the evolution of their art
among Continental armies and to
gather technical information as to
new weapons. To-day, the Mexican
army is largely officered by young
and devoted men who have received
a scientific training, and the military
strength of the nation has increased
appreciably. Mexico has learned much
from the Boer war and from the Rus
so-Japanese conflict. She desires
above all things peace and progress.

saw Moscow fired by an army of Tar
tars in 1871, in the absence of Gar
Ivan the Terrible. He writes: There
was nothing but whirlwinds and such
noise as though the heavens would
have fallen" According to Fletcher,
numerous persons were burned to
death. while crowds struggling to
escape from the flames met and the
ensuing crush resulted in thousands OF
fatalities.
He asserts that there perished at
that time by the fire and the press tho
number OF 100000 or more" This
estimate. of course. was excessive. AS

At last his fame grew so lustrous
that 1t was necessary to organize a
society bearing his name.
Then the society got to work and
looked up his birthplace.
Did the society locate 1t at Blink

No; for nobody at Blink Center
could remember anything of sucn
family as his. So the brass tablet in
memory Of his birth was affixed to

a city 100 miles from Blink Center

There was once young man who
came from a wee bit of town, and
whenever he would tell folks where
he was raised they would ask him
where that was.
1t irked the young man to find that
his native town was such an incon-
spicuous place. and he said to himself;
Il will hustle around and make my
self famous, and then Blink Center
will get some notice. for after | have
become a celebrity everybody will
learn that | was born and raised
there"
So for years and years he climbed
the path of fame. until at last his
name was known in every house in
the land.
And then he died. and folks talked
good deal about him, and his life

In the main. the tip-tilted, extremely
eccentric hat has the right of way.
The eccentric hats worn at present
will be regarded as freaks in six
months from now.
Crepe de chine is very good mate
rial to use for room gowns. 1t washes
perfectly, and is light and soft TO the
touch.
The utmost ingenuity has been used
in the matter of trimmings. but the
shapes look as If they were left wholly
to chance.
The best all-around fur is mink. IT
is never cheap to buy. but it outwenrs
most furs and is really a better bar
gain in the end.
The great objection to Persian lamb
is its unbecomingness to most women.
1t is too dead black and unsympathetic
for n colorless woman.
Very pretty, indeed. are many of the
evening turbans and toques made en-
tirely of flowers and trimmed simply
with wings or aigrettes.
Dress materials are nearly all re-
duced in price. and for comparatively
little one may buy the seasons best
woolen fabrics, as well as silks, velvets
and fancy materials.
1t is regarded as permissible for a
woman to wear a long lace or chiffon
scarf at dinner. when she must appear
in full dress. The soft, delicate colors
of the scarfs lend a dainty touch to al
most any gown.
What can one think of n beautiful
turquoise blue felt trimmed with a
twist of white velvet, wreath of
white roses and two white ostrich
feathers, utterly ruined artistically by
being punched and twisted and finally
set up on n bandeau three inches wide
on one side. four inches high in the
back. and disappearing altogether in
front?

CARE OF LINoLEUN1.

A household economics authority
says: "In caring for linoleum do not
use soapsuds as for scrubbing a floor.
1t stands to reason that soap is going
to injure the varnish and the finish.
On farm where there is plenty of
milk, n cloth wrung out of skim milk
is the best means of taking up the dust
and Frightening the linoleum. Where
milk is scarce, or needed for food,
use lukewarm water. to which has
been added half a cupful of kerosene.
Wiring the cloth rather dry from this,
and 90 over the linoleum after sweep
ing. and it will be quite new and
bright, and the finish uninjured.
Most housewives scrub oilcloth and
linoleum as though it were Il bare
floor; it is dusty rather than dirty,
since everything remains on the top,
and for this reason n clean cloth
slightly damp is all that is necessary"

One who travelled through Russia In
1893 wrote in Latin an interesting ac-
count of what he saw. These were
afterward translated into English, in
part as follows: THE Muscovites are
generally of a very strong Constitu-
tion. both very tall and bulky. Above
one-half of the Year is taken up with
their Fasts, when the common people
feed upon nothing else but Cabbage
and Cucumbers, and these, raw. only
picked" The writer, Henry William
Ludolph, has leanings toward yege-
tarianism, for he added: This Is an
evident sign of their natural vigour.

When she finds herself saying un-

When he grows economical with his

When she begins to nag.
When he becomes sarcastic about

When she does not mind coming to

When he tells her how pretty some
