The New Spring Shirt-Waist

Broader shoulders characterize
the first of the spring sliirt-waists.
The smartest design for a linen
shirt.waist is made with three deep
plaits OH each shoulder, front and
back. AT the back the plaits taper
toward the waist. The pattern pro-
vides for a high band turn-down
collar, but the waist is also finish
ed with neck band, so that it may
be worn with stiff linen collar if
preferred. The regular waist
sleeve is used, finished with a
straight cuff. The fastening of the
waist is in the front through the
center box plait. The stitched
plaits and the broad shoulder line
gives this shirt-waist an air of new
ness and smartness. Though this
spring the lingerie waist will be
more in vogue than ever, yet the
tailor made linen waist will also be
much in demand. - Grace Margarss

Window Ventilptor.

Fresh air cranks have been en-
deavoring the past few years to edu-
cate the public in the proper use OF
fresh air. AS rule people are not
averse to plenty of fresh air, but
they are strongly opposed to drafts.
To properly ventilate a room so that
all drafts will be avoided is difi-
cult problem. To successfully do so
means the purchase of costly appar-
atus. A very simple arrangement
has recently been patented by
Pennsylvania inventor, as is shown

Britons Seldom Mutiny.

The British army and navy being
the best disciplined and the most
content in the world, mutinies among
our forces have happily been very
rare. Previous to the recent out
break at Portsmouth the last British
mutiny OF note occurred on July 7,
1890, when the I'd Grenadier Guards,
then at Wellington Barracks, refused
to turn out on parade, only about six
men of the whole battalion answer
ing bugle call. Eventually they were
induced to assemble, but many in
stead of appearing In full marching
order, paraded in tunics and fatigue
dress. For the INSTRUMENTATION the
whole battalion was exiled to Ber-
muda for one year.
Leaving the mercantile marine
out of the question, the last British
naval mutiny of note occurred
as far back as December 1901.
This was the famous mutiny of
the Bantry Bay squadron, the Sc
rlousness of which may be judged
from the fact that seventeen of the
ululiHeeIS were COuuSluutu W uedlu
and all the rest sentenced to receive
two hundred lashes each. In those
days very stern measures were adop-
ted to quell insubordination in the
navy.
Portsmouth has been the scene of
a serious mutiny before. In 1877
the whole feet stationed there
Struck" for the advance of wages
The Admiralty appeased the men by
a promise, which, however, was not
quickly fulfilled, whereupon Sec
ond mutiny broke out. Admiral Col
poys and his captain ordered the ma
rines to fire, and as some Of the men
were killed, these two officers were
arrested for using unjustifed harsh
ness. Eventually the mems wages
were raised and the mutineers were
all rdoned.-Answers.

The great and growing popular
ity of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is due both to its scienti.
fc compounding and to the actual
medicinal value of its ingredients.
The publication of the names of the
ingredients on the wrapper of every
bottle sold, gives full assurance of
it's non-alcoholic character and re-
moves all objection to the use of an
unknown OF secret remedy. 1t is
not patent medicine nor a secret
one either. This fact puts it in a
class by itself, bearing as it does
upon everY bottle wrapper The
Badge Of Honesty, in the full list of
its ingredients. Many years of
active practice convinced DR.. Pierce
of the value of many native roots
as medicinal agents and he went to
great expense, both in time and
money, to perfect his own peculiar
processes for rendering them both
efficient and safe tor tonic, altera-
tive and rebuilding agents

Ventilation Without Drafts.

IN the accompanying illustration.
This ventilator was designed to ad-
init the entrance of any amount of
fresh air. but at the same time to
prevent the air from flowing in in
gusts. When a window is raised, the
wind blows directly into the room.
This is impossible with this ventila-
tor, the front serving as a shield. All
air must come down through the
open top, any force which It may
have being broken before it reaches
the room. The ventilator Is sup
ported on hooks on the outside of
the window frame, the amount of
ventilation being regulated by rails

Think for YourseII.

There is nothing which adds so
much to the treasures of the mind and
increases its power as it's own think
ing. Learn to think for yourself. 1t
is all very well to hear and to read
the wisdom of others. But one should
not let this take the place of ones
own thoughts. Many persons are like
cisterns; they are good to hold the
thoughts of others. But when the
time comes that they are forced to
rely on themselves they have no
power to do so. The ouside supply is
cut off and the cistern runs dry. But
If one is like the river, constantly fed
by its own springs, then, as the learn
ing of others comes to one, the stream
of ones learning widens and deepens.

OBSERVING STREET ETIQUETTE.
A Few Suggestions Which Arc Al
ways Worth Bearing In Mind.


In no place are good manners
more important than on the street.
Strangers must, of course, judge you
by what they see In passing. A loud,
boisterous manner will necessarily
cause those who do not know you
well to regard you unfavorably and
imagine you at least be lacking in
the necessary refinement and cour-
tesy of gentlewoman.
II you are Indifferent to the optn-
ions of mere strangers and allow
yourself to become careless in your
public conduct you may unexpected
ly be observed by some one whose
opinion you respect and whom you
particularly wish to please.
Therefore, the best plan to follow
is to always act with dignity and re-
serve on the street.
When you pass and repass ac-
quaintances several times 1t is not
necessary to exchange greetings af-
ter the first recognition.
Avoid mentioning names as much
as possible when talking to your
friends or acquaintances in public,
and never exchange condolences when
strangers are around.
Remember, much harm is done by
the gossip which is started by the re-
rsating of a conversation accident
ally overheard
Do not block up a passageway or
the sidewalk by stopping to talk to
friend If you mustsstop for n chat,
step TO one side or walk along to-
gethcr in some place where you will
not interfere with passersby.
If a man wishes to talk with q
woman whom he may meet on the
street he should turn and walk with
her; never stop her and expect he.
to stand and converse with you.
Never stare at people as they
pass, and above all remember not to
do so If the person has any peculiar
ity or physical deformity; 1t is tho
very height of ill-breeing to do this.
Never point to objects in passing.
and do not Inconvenience pedestrians
by walking abreast on q crowded
sidewalk.
1t Is a woman's privilege to bow
first when passing a man, but under
no circumstances should she show
any recognition Of q man whom she
may see standing in a club window.
In fact, courtesy and dignity o,
manner is always a sign of good
breeding.
Let me advise you to make it q
study, and If you do l can promise
you that you Will never regret 1t.

On Reading Newspapers.

II can always tell whether
woman is accustomed to reading
newspapers by the way she holds
one" remarked an observing busi-
ness man recently. "She takes 1t
up haphazard fashion, glances ir-
relevantly here and there In an alb
sent-minded sort of way so that you
fell quite sure she isn't sensing a
thing she reads. Then she opens the
paper awkwardly and Invariably
separates the portions of the sheet, a
thing that makes man crazy In his
own home, for he loses track of the
departments and 1t is contrary to his
ideas of order"

About COIOrS.

The study of color will be one of

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

If you heat your knife you can
cut hot bread easily.
A teaspoonful Of turpentine added
to pail of warm water is excellent
for all cleaning purposes. Also put
q little In suds on wash day.
Straw mating should never be
washed in anything but warm water
and salt.
Angel cake can be cut easily II
knife is wet in cold water.
To polish floors rub them once a
week in beeswax and turpentine.
To test eggs, drop eggs in dish of
cold water; If they sink they are
fresh.
