and the officials of the Mine Workers
Union. Peace has been restored, it is
said. The wage scale was not changed
materially. AT Lewiston the piece scale
was substituted for the fiat scale, but
the miners are guaranteed not less
than $3.50 per day. A slight increase
has been granted the teamsters and

of powder that helps to soften and
whiten the hands and arms.
1t must be remembered that the
CRIME left on hands from very rough
work needs an emollent before the
soap or almond meal and water can
cleanse them. Nothing is better fol
this than pure lard. Fill the hands
and let it remain few minutes; then
wash as usual, and every bit Of CRIME
will be removed. Then the stains and
callosities may be taken off with the
bit OF lemon, to which little salt may
be added for obstinate stains and the

the way in which the flexible bows
are held that is responsible for the
disappointing change. Women should
study how to make their lips express
sive and they cannot only prevent q
handsome countenance from becoming
ordinary, but they can alter the entire
character of homely face.
First learn to make the lips linn
ber Certain singing exercises are
helpful to this end and they should
be practiced every morning for a week
or two until the lips become elastic.
One exercise is to pronounce the
separate vowels in turn ten or fifteen
times, bringing the lips well forward
and away from the teeth as far as
possible for each letter. Another,
and this is really better than the
first, uses the repeated pronunciation
of the two yllables-Oh-Wee The
trumpet shape of the mouth is also
employed with this, the lips being
drawn back and forth with eXagger-
ated movement.
Also remember always to keep the
corners of the mouth well forward.
The ugliest formation of the lips is
that which draws them tightly across
the teeth, stretching them half way
to the ears. A wide display of teeth
and frequently an unsightly view OF
the gums of the upper jaw is the re-
suit. This is exaggerated when smil-
ing, but even when opening the mouth
to speak it will completely spoil any
natural beauty. What is more, one
person in a hundred there is whose
lips do open prettily unless the cor
ners are constantly kept in mind and
not allowed to stretch far back,
For the woman who is blessed
with particularly fine looks. holding
the mouth well in repose counts for
great deal toward improving her
beauty"

A Charming Cloth Costume, About
the Good Corselet Skirt and
Right Kind of Girdle.

The accompanying sketch illustrates
a French street costume in which the
sloping coat line is we'll handled. The
materials is a chiffon broadcloth and
the skirt was circular, with a seam
down the middle front and tiny but
tons set down the full skirt length on
each side of the front.
A loose triple coat was cut fairly
short in front, but sloped away to a
length six or eight inches greater in
the back. The sleeve has the shoulder
cap, which, in one shape or another, is
being much used again, and triple
cuff. A waistcoat of white cloth light
ened the effect of the costume, and on
it were set tiny buttons matching those
on the skirt.
The corselet skirt holds it's own and
Is evidently to last throughout the sea-
son; but the French makers are shun-
ming the mistake, apparently in some
of the early, models, of making the
corselet so high that it cuts the bust
line and interferes with the graceful
curves of the figure. The corselet is
now Of moderate depth, and very
often is cut down at the middle front,
rising higher at sides and back.
1t is cut in one with the skirt, or,
as is often the case, even in the mod
els for street wear turned out by the
most famous houses the corselet is cut
separately and in two parts, each part,
upper end lower, being cut on the bias,
so that the material will stretch to
waist line. When properly made these

LIGHTHOUSE A WONDER.
New Building on Diamond Shoals
Coast Embodies Very Latest
Ideas in Construction.

The new Diamond Shoals lighthouse
will not only safeguard dangerous
coast, but will be in itself model in
construction, Livingston Wright, In
the Technical World Magazine, de-
scribes 1t as follows:
The lighthouse is to have eight diff
ferent floors, besides the lantern gall
lery and watchroom. The first will be
equipped with three lifeboats, with q
crane for hosting or lowering on the
outside. The second floor will be d.
vided into four rooms, and contain the
fog signaling apparatus and two oil
engines. The third floor will contain
the hosting engine for operating the
crane, two large provision rooms, and
a bedroom The fourth and fifth floors
will each have two bedrooms, a
writing room, and bathroom. One
half of the sixth floor will be devoted
to the dining-room, the other half to
the kitchen, pantry and refrigerator.
The seventh floor will have double
sitting-room or library and laundry.
On this floor also will be placed tank
holding 1900 gallons of fresh water.
The eighth floor will be properly
equipped for the lighthouse service
room. The ninth floor will contain the
watch room and will have a gallery
extending all the way around it. The
floor above this will contain the light
itself, visible in storm or calm for
about 20 miles"

BATTLE NOT WON AT ETcN
Famous Conflict Of Waterloo was No;
Fought Out at School Which
Wellington Attended.

DR.. Miller Mcguire repeats il
the Grand Magazine statement
which has often been made, that
the duke of Wellington never al
any time made the remark that
waterloo was won on the play
ing fields of Eton. Certain it il
that Wellington himself knew
very little either of the playing
fields or the classrooms of Eton.
It is quite true that he was a brief
period at the famous school, but
when his mother discovered that
he was making no progress what.
ever there, either at games or al
lessons, he was removed at about
the age of Is and sent to another
school, in Brussels, where he
learned most of what he knew. AT
least score of the leading off,
GERS Of the British army who were
the dukes contemporaries knew
even less about Eton than he did.
AS for the non-commissioned Of
ficers who served at Waterloo,
and who, as ever, were the back
bone of the British army, it may
be assumed that very few among
them had much acquaintance with
the Eton playing tieldsl Coming
down to quite recent days, Lord
Roberts was for a brief space Of
eight months at Eton, which he
left when he was Ia years old.
whereas Lord Wolseley was edu-
ated entirely at private schools ir
Dublin. In fact, DIR. Mcguire
would maintain that, if a man who
has gone through the ordinary
curriculum of an English public
school does win name in military
it is rather in spite of than
on account of his early education.
Nearly all the famous generals in !
history, he points out, have been
men of wide general attainments
and culture.
