You never saw a tobacco user who
was glad that he had contracted the
habit, and you never saw man who
had not contracted the habit who was
sorry for it Nine out Of ten men who
use tobacco started the habit when
boys, because they thought it was
manly to puff cigar or masticate a
hunk of the stuff. BY the time they
realized their mistake the habit was so
firmly fastened they did not have the
will power to shake it off. Did you
ever know a smoker who did not insist
that he could quit if he wanted to?
Strange, ISM it, that SO many of them
never want to quit? That is, they want
TO quit, but they don't want to undergo
the mental strain of quitting.

Virginia is the latest state
toregulate railroad passenger
rates. The state corporation
commission has decreed that
a maximum rate Of two cents
a nile be established on all
tn. larger railroads operating
in the state and on the less
imoortant roads from q to
81 cents a mile, according to
th,ir net earnings. In re-
laton to the reduction Of
fright rates the commission
hods that the railroads
shtuld operate under a uni
form classification, as for the
tinn being, at least, it con-
sidr the matter Of freight
facilities is superior in i'm
porance to the matter OF
Freight rates. This conserva-
tive action by the Democratic
stat Of Virginia shows that
the Democratic party may be
relid upon to protect the
people and at the same time
be Just and fair to the
corpcrations..

LESSON IN POSTAL WAYS.

Superiority of Foreign Service to
That In America Is Asserted.
In New York 1t takes two hours to
send special delivery letter from Har-
lem to Twenty-third street. In Berlin,
through the rohrpost, a letter can be
sent similar distance in two minutes.
1t would be advantageous to all peo-
pie If the statesmen of the world, fore
going for season their provincial
boasting, would convene in interna-
tional session and exchange ideas re-
garding the worlds progress. l was
impressed with this fact when had
occasion in Budapest to send regis
tered letter. Instead of having to wait
for clerk to copy the superscription
and hand me receipt l had simply
to show the letter properly stamped
and then drop 1t in a mechanical con-
trivance which Immediately issued a
receipt card automatically dated and
numbered.
1t makes the system of registering
a letter in Hungary as simple as drop
ping a piece of mail In Letter box is
In America. l desired to test this In
novation and so l mailed letter in
Budapest addressed to myself In a
hotel In Munich. Two hours later /
took the train to the Bavarian capital,
and the day after arrived in the
hotel | received word that there was
registered letter for me at the post
office.
The German system of postal money
order is far superior, it seems to me,
to the American. You hand the money
into a German postoffice, give the adj
dress of the person to whom 1t is to
be sent and walk away with the re-
ceipt. That ends your responsibility
The government carries the money to
the house and even to the room of the
addressee. -Hardee Rolce in Apple
toms.

Embroidered and lace-trimmed lin
gerie blouses will be worn, but it is no
longer necessary to have always the
most expensive sort of waist. For the
morning, for instance, with plain
skirt, decidedly severe model waist
has just recently come into vogue. This
summer, for tennis and golf, when it is
played, the regulation tailor-made bod
Ice will be smart once more, for the
stiff cuffs and collar on waists of rath-
fer heavy material are so infinitely
more sensible than the blouses that
have been fashionable during the last
few seasons, that its return to favor
was inevitable.
The bottom of a silk skirt will be
improved by interlning the hem with
flannel rather than lining. Crinoine
should never be used, as it would cut
through too quickly. Heavier skirts
that are to be finished with many rows
of stitching should have flannel basted
on the wrong side as deep as the stitch
Ing will be, then skirt and interllning
are stitched In rows, having an easy
tension on the machine; the hem is
then turned up and lightly hemmed
down, or II very heavy, sew bias
strip Of lining to the raw edge Of the
hem and sew the other edge Of the
lining down to the skirt.

Home auarreIs.

The home should never be the scene
OF a quarrel. A man cannot afford to
quarrel with his wife; 1t is undlgnified.
A woman cannot afford to quarrel with
her husband; it Is unladylike. Parents
cannot afford to quarrel in the presence
of their children; 1t gives them wrong
views of life, and weakens their respect
for home. Every quarrel leaves an ug-
ly scar, no matter how well it may be
patched up Small differences must oc-
cur In every household, but they can
hardly be called quarrels. To quarrel
with the person who stands nearest
and dearest to you is to put strain on
love that in the long run snaps it.
There is no sadder sight than to see
two people who have grown so used to
pickering that they do 1t almost me-
chanically. When man and woman
make up their minds to tread life's
path together they should make up
their minds to make 1t as sunny a path
as possible, and to avoid all the STUN
bling blocks to happiness that they pos
sibly can. Marriage is the best thing
In the world, but it cannot be improved
by quarrels. A quarrel brings out the
ugliest meanest side of persons ma
ture, and surely no one can find virtue
fn anything that does that.

Looking Rexond.

Whatever be your condition or call
ing in life, keep in view the whole of
your existence. Act not for the little
span of time allotted you in this world,
but act for eternity. Look beyond the
narrow limits of earth, to the scenes of
that eternal world to which you are
going, and ever aim to do what will
promote your best interests, ten thou
sand ages hence, when all the riches
and honors of earth shall have vanish
ed away. Then shall you rise superior
to every false, unworthy principle of
action, and attain the true dignity and
happiness Of intelligent beings. Then
shall you be safe amid all temptations,
and happy amid all trials.--Rey. R. S.
johnson.

Biggest House on Earth.

A gigantic globe tower, the biggest
building In the world, is in course of
erection on Coney Island. 1t will be
700 feet high and 900 feet in circum-
ference. 1t will have eleven floors and
100000 square feet of floor space.
On these eleven floors there will be
all sorts of things to amuse Coneys
millions of summer visitors, but the
star feature of them all will be the
revolving restaurant and cafe, first Of
the kind In the world.
If you are facing north when your
oysters are served you will be looking
west for the soup and south when the
roast arrives. By the time the coffee
and cigars come on you will be back
north again. In half an hour you will
have Travelled 900 feet around great
circle, or thirty feet minute.
The ground floor will be an automo-
bile garage Just 100 feet above the
ground will be the pedestal roof gar
den, 900 feet in circumference. When
you get 250 feet in the air you will
come to the aerial hippodrome. Here
there will be a continuous Touring
circus.
The main hall and revolving cafe will
be 300 feet above the ground, circling
around the great ball room. Another
fifty feet and you come to the palm gar
den In the air, third restaurant, stat
uary, fountains and cascades, scenic
aerial railroad and all kinds Of novel;
ties At 500 feet you come to the OBJ
servatory platform, fitted with tele-
scopes. At 600 feet win be stationed
the United States weather bureau and
wireless telegraph station.

Helping an Invalid.

A trained nurse mentions as among
the little things that help make an in
valid feel comfortable and rested the
frequent brushing of the hair and bath
ing Of the hands and face. II don't
know what it is, whether these actions
just divert the invalid's mind or really
do effect some physical change for the
better, but they certainly help the sicR
one to get through the day. Eau de
cologne and the various toilet waters
are very refreshing when added to the
water or used Independently. l once
heard a man say that If he couldn'i
both wash his hands and face and
comb his hair in the morning when he
got up he would choose to comb his
hair. 1t would wake him up better
He felt something OF the same sense
OF physical comfort as the average
convalescent or invalid"

Women abuse men merely to appear

Every woman wants the world to

Moro Woe for Man.

An excited man writing in London
Truth, announces with an exclamation
point that sit appears that the halo-like
arrangement which 'decorates the wom-
en- of the time Is formed by wrapping
the hair around frame! How much
more of their general appearance is ere
ated by frame contrivances" he asks.
The editor tries to reassure him by
saying that while man is necessarily
ignorant of the secrets of the modern
woman's surface composition, this cir,
cumstance need not throw him into a
panic. Since beauty Is but skin deep ii
may be hinted that it really makes lit
tie difference whether that little be of
wire, wool, buckram or rats"

Only Believe.

Be not downcast If difficulties sur
round you in your heavenly life. They
may be purposely placed there by God
to train and discipline you for higher
developments of faith. If he calls you
to "toiling in rowing" it may be to
make you the better seaman, and to
lead you to holier trust in Him who
has the vessel and Its destinies in hand,
and who, amid gathering clouds and
darkened horizon, and crested pillows,
ever murmurs the mild rebuke to our
misgivings: "Said 1 not unto thee,
that If thou wouldst believe, thou
shouldst see the glory of Godfrey.

never known 1t to fail. I have acted
upon 1t when the answer has gone abb
solutely against my inclinations; when
the way seemed clear in other direc-
tions and when have had to give up
the most tempting prospects. Yet the
text has vindicated itself. My loss has
been my gain. If we do not test the
text in this spirit, we cannot test it
at all. The text is everything or 1t is
nothing. 1t is not to be trified with,
taken up and laid down, admired as
poetry and neglected as discipline. "Ye
cannot serve God and mammon."-

Christ the Friend.

The devout heart yearns after per-
sonal God. Its instructive desire is for
Father and Friend-a loving ear
into which It's sorrows may be poured,
loving heart on which its weariness
may rest. This deep-felt want Of our
natures Is most fully met in the per-
son of Jesus Christ. For here is One
whom, while we reverence and adore
as God, we ca nthink of as clearly and
love as simply, trustingly, tenderly, as
the best known and loved of our earth
ly friends.-Rev. r. s. Medley.

and Black or red tie are very smart.
Tight-ftting coats, buttoned simply
down the front, some rather long, 9th
ers short, will be worn with severe tai
lored costumes.
For best frocks for the little girls a
fine white material daintily trimmed
with good embroidery of valenciennes
lace is the very prettiest of all.
Silkier aud more attractive than
ever are the new cottons, though scot
tom is no longer evidence of their
cheapness, for these will make very
dressy gowns.
UniNle will be the woman arrayed
in the latest importation in English
suitings, which is huge check, three
inches square, alternating white with
some pale color like lavender or brown.
Children's frocks are made of the

linens in rainbow-striped coloring and
the most brilliantly tinted small plaids
being used, with white embroidery
trimmings.

References to Age.

1t has come to be a piece Of rude

full to ignore the delicate subject alto

word of mouth or appearance Women

and seem these days, these days, and

we can pass muster among the keenest-
