The world is the acre of every

they pay in their works. They
should be allowed to live rent
free, and even then we do not
fully acknowledge our indebted
ness to them.
Men seem unable to live with
out one end of life contradicting
the other. Only those who die
young are consistent. A man in
youth a tory, dies a radical, a
radical dies a tory. One half of
life we build; the other we tear
down our structure.

Raautv Of Complexion

Beauty Of complexion depends upon
four thirgs-perfect digestion, good
blood, an active liver and good cir

functions the same prescription will
answer, and it is: Deep breathing.
Plenty of pure water-eight glasses a
day. Fresh vegetables apd salads, suf-
ficient sleep to keep the nerves quiet.
Outdoor exercise every day. Little or
no alcohol, tea, Coffee or drugs of any
kind, and particularly the powders and
potions taken for nerves and insomnia.

Queens Negligee.

A negligee made recently for Queen
Alexandra, in Paris, is not of silk, or
of organdie, or of India lawn, or OF any
other sheer stuffs, but of cashmere. Its
color is a turquoise blue and its trim
ming is a set of oriental bands. These
bands go around the wide sailor col
lar; they extend down the front; and
they are seen around the foot OF the
gown, and the tones are repeated in
the buttons. The negligee is buttoned
down the front and the buttons are a
very handsome oriental variety, made
up of many colors, with each button
showing a separate design.

Authors References.

One of the most fascinating things
about authors is the wonderful variety
in their tastes and methods of compo-
sition. Some of these are uncommon
ly interesting.
O. Henry, the popular humorist, does
all his work (when he can be induced
to work. between dark and daylight,
and while actually engaged in compo-
sition takes no nourishment except an
occasional spoonful of Worcestershire
sauce.
Edith Wharton says sho does her
best work ON cold buttered toast, with
a quart of water at 1870 p. m.
Richard LIE Gallienne composes his
impassioned love lyrics while riding
in railway trains, afterwards debating
them to a perfectly proper stenogra-
pher. While in the throes of versifica-
ton, Mr.. LIE Gallienne nibbles on
EHafiz Milk Chocolate" which he inn
ports from Persia in t%en-pound slabs.
Hamilton Wright Mabie does all his
thinking with a metronome at his ell
bow. If he finds that he is thinking
too fast or too slow he moves the in
Dictator on the machine up or down,
and his mind and metronome tick
rhythmically together.
Jack London works best by day
light, with his table placed directly be-
fore a camera, which ticks automat-
ically every 40 seconds. While writ
ing Mr.. London munches raw beef
sandwiches.
Gertrude Atherton writes in Ger
many and reads her manuscript to
Poultney Bigelow, or the kaiser if Mr..
Bigelow happens to be out of Germany.
While working she eats very little
not oftener than three times a day,
and nothing more hearty than a wien
er schnitzel. ,
Authors are awfully interesting!

Latest News from Little Already.
,(From the Little Already Argus.)
The people from this erstwhile spot
less town are aghast at the corruption
in high places in our midst. Follow
ing on the exposure of Ezra Joyce,
whose gross misconduct of the affairs
of the pumping station is now under
investigation by the village board, the
hand of suspicion is now laid heavily
upon our once honored townsman, Alb
ner Butterbaugh. The facts, as the Ar
gus learns them. are these: To Mr..
Butterbaugh was entrusted the con-
tract to repair the bridge over Turtle
creek. The job was done and the work
approved by the village fathers. Now,
it is charged, and up to the hour Of
oa;n~ IN nrncc woc not dnniod thof
Mr.. Butterbaugh, when he put the new
planks on the bridge, appropriated the
old planks for his own private use. 1t
is rumored that those same planks,
sawed and split, now repose in a neat
pile in the B~utterbaughs' back yard.
Gods! as we have remarked before, to
what a spectacle has free government
by the people been perverted! A mass
meeting has been called for Friday
night at the M. E. church to take ac-
ton on this latest scandal.
Hon. Lincoln Steffens, the WE'LL
known shame-finder, lectured at the
town hall Tuesday evening to a large
and enthusiastic audience. His sub
ject was 1.-THE Pneumatic System in
Political and Social House Cleaning"
and was greatly enjoyed. The Little
Already Military band furnished inspir-
ing music and a male quartette rem
dered r. Ripley's "Recessional" very
sweetly. We had the pleasure of in
terviewing Mr.. Steffens after the lee
ture, and found him a most agreeable
gentleman. To our question, "Mr.
Steffens, will honesty and fair dealing
eventually prevail, or will u country
go the way of the old-world empires
which persisted miserably from vice
and crime?" he replied: THAT, sir,
no man can tell; but it will be one or
the other" Mr.. Steffens' suggestion
that Little Already form a reform Or
ganization similar to that in Chicago,
will be acted on by Jul citizens at an
early day.

An English periodical propounds the
query, How far may an author go in
putting himself and his works?" In
this country an author may go as far
as he likes, provided he keeps within
the law. Thus, John Kendrick Bangs,
among other devices, wears overshoes
with his name in raised letters on the
soles, and walks to his joke foundry.
Unfortunately, there has been little
snow this winter, and Mr.. Bangs is
now devising an ink roller attachment
for his overshoes. Charles Dana Glib
son, as everybody knows, went so far
as to leave the country, giving out
that he intended to study art. This
stimulated the interest in himself and
his works, and prepared the way for a
series of tinted sketches in the artists
usual manner. Bangs and Gibson are
perhaps the two best advertisers, yet
they seem leagues behind that con-
summate artist in self-boost, Hall
Game. If there is a limit beyond
which an author should not go Gin
putting himself and his works." it
would be interesting to know what it
is. Perhaps the authors will tell us.

Ginghams and Linens Most Popular

But the linens themselves are fascinating There are the open-mesh kinds that go by the charmed name of "linen voiles," and just degree pret- tier than the canvasy weaves we've been wearing for several years; and linens with plaids woven Tn them, some with cords little the order ot dlml- ties, but with world of difference, and others em- broidered with dots eyelets or simple designs. There are novelty linens, with odd effects of weave of color blending, and plain-as-a-pipest kinds with something distinctive about each.
 As to color, wonderful things are beirg done with it. Some skilful Frenchman las discovered ! new way of dyeng the linen, radically unlike exist ing methods-as so many French discoveries are. Instead of dyeing the threads and weaving she linen from the coored threads he weaves it tlrst, by it shades can be got which impossible by the old process-shades which lean to pastel tnts' and which are finer in every way.
 Next to the linen family for suits comes gala tea, which is a splendid stuff for hard wear and has been developed into interesting designs-some that almost like suitings
 For shirtwaist suits for the very hot days, comes printed linon d'Inde-the old linen lawn of our grandmothers day printed with the same prim little patterns which in fas,.ioa then. Moth

 Batistes are as popular the lighter weight linens, and even more varied-smbroidered and printed and treated in thousand ways A dozen dffernt weights are about, from the inexpensive kinds that seem more like linen lawns than any thing else to gauzy stufs which bear the hallmark of Paris upon their snowy folds.
 A batiste with a soft finish is perhaps the most ponular member of the family, especially for embroidered blouses-the stuff is so easily worked
 Madras has won it's old place again-not ths beavv coarse, canvasy kind, but the compact firmly woven madras, as cool to wear as lawn. Just the same quaint designs decorate them Ear- row threadike stripes of color, grouped, like dim. ity cords into clusters of few or of many. and tiny figures, like the plainest of the percales.
 But to run over even the of the inex. pensive stuffs would be an impossibility. so many kinds have been developed by the cry for many changes and for infinite variety which marks this season even more definitely than it has the past two or three.

A Pretty Little Apron
 of Di1nity

T HE .rettiest little apron, ready to slip over
 your Lead and fasten, bib and all secure
 ly by a single button, practical enough for anything but the toughest work, yet dainty accompanim nt to fancywork bag, Can be made of yard and half of lowered dlmIty, or of any of the other inexpensive lowered or palded stufs.
 Cut the dimity into two squares, each measur- ing twenty-six and half inches. Lay hem an inch and half deep all the way round, turning ln' besides, quarter of an inch as "la. down. 4nls leaves you two twenty-three-inch squares.
 Cut corner of square (deep enough to serve for pocket), and, gathering the cut edge mount it upon the band, which, by the way, IS aa inch wide when finished Hem the oeket and set It in one corner tt the side.
 From the middle of the other square cut out circle nine inches in diameter and hem the edges neatly. Then -ew this square to the band by one point, but without gathering, simply letting the point end an inch two below the band upon the wrong side.
 Put button on one end of the band, work buttonhole in the other end and another in the point of l.. upl cquare that is directly opposite to the one which is joined in the belt, and-the apron is done .......
 Not an inch of the material is wasted; and, by the way, your piece bag often has just the so of leftover piece that will make an a ron or two, with going to the bother and expense of getting any.
 A pretty variation is making the hems of separate color, using plain stuff for the body of the apron and borderiny 1t with bands of lowered stuff or of a contrasting color.
