CENSOR OF NATIONS.
Congratulations On Germany's Atti. tude At Alqeciras Causes
 Pleasure.

Berlin, April 19-President Roose- velt's congratulations upon Germanys success at the Algeciras conference, which he expressed tot a delegation Of German veterans at the white house Thursday, has evoked a wave of joyful gratitude throughoutt the fatherland His remarks are consd- cred a magnificent vindieation of the kaiser's attitude in the Moroccan con troversy. Emperor William. person ally. is extremely delighted and has taken immediate measures to inform President Roosevelt to that effect
 The Cologne Gazette, speaking for the government describes President Roosevelt as an International censor, whose activities have become extra ordinary, but which are highly wei come development in the modern world of politics. They are on par ir this instance, with his action a year ago in publicly acquitting the kaiser of the charge of urging the czar to continue the war. The Colo gne Gazette warns enthusiastic Ger mans. however, against the belief that President Roosevelt's friendly words are the first step in the direction of a German-American alliance.

Piano Ornamentation.

One word as to the decorating of the top of the piano: Don't Too much or namentatioh is destructive to tone quality. You may have observed that on striking certain note it gives out a ringing metallic sound. After pug Zling over the phenomenon for awhile you at length discover that the sound is due to the presence of a jeweled photograph frame which you thought added so much to the ornamentation of the instrument. But if you love a good toned piano better than you do bric-a- brac you will cease to litter your in strument with picture frames. curios and statuettes, no matter how well they show off, no matter how empty the piano looks without them.
 Nor is your instrument complete nowadays without the side cabinet for music

Developing the Arms.

If the arm is not sufficiently develop ed to be graceful 1t may be improved by proper care and exercise. To begin with, a thin, scrawny arm must have plenty of skin food Almond oil is good, so is the cold cream that is sold and so are other soft oils The oil should be rubbed over the arm thor. oughly with a downward motion, strok: ing the arm from the shoulder to the wrist. A little soft hair down on the arms only adds to their beauty, but if there is more than this-say thiclisll dark growth-someth.ng should he done to remove what will be consider ed blemish if it is ever exposed to view It is rarely seen on the upper arms. and it is only when the gloves are taken off and an elbow sleeved or other short sleeved dress is being worn that there is any self consciousness about it.

The Kwakiutls are tribe of light
colored Indians whose faces and ex-
preston readily recall those of the
lower class Japanese and Koreans
across the Pacific. They differ from
other coast Indians by having very
high bridged, often hooked, noses, and
very long faces. The shape of their
heads is artificial. Like our own Flat
heads and some tribes in Mexico and
South America, they deform the head
in infancy, so that the upper forhead,
which we consider sign of intellect,
is depressed perhaps in order to OBJ
tain an approach to the skull of a
beast or bird.
The heads Of man and woman of
Ibis tribe exhibit the results of early
raining of the bones of the head.
Whether it occasions pain to the child
p not, there Is a general agreement
nat 1t has no effect upon the intelli-

than the passing traveller would i'm
agine. The Investigator who comes
among them with some knowledge of
their beliefs and rites obtains their
confidence and finds them, if not re-
markable specimens of intelligence,
still by no means lacking in wits. In

an essential feature of the season, and
which always gives an air Of elegance

utilized for all the materials that are

makes most satisfactory one for the

portions over the shoulder make dis

space for embroidery is left at the
front.
The waist is made with narrow
yolk, to which the front and back por.
lions are attached. The tucked por-
tons are arranged over the whole and
the material beneath the tucks is cut
away to give the desired transparent

Striped MORE silks are amongst the
latest novelties for dress trimmings,
while oxidized effects or tiny gold
beads are introduced into many of the
newer embroideries. Tassels and
loosely -pleated mohair braids in self
