OUR LANGUAGE UNIFORM.

While Great Britain, for Instance,
Has Many Different Languages.
1t has been observed that the Ian
guage spoken in the United States Is
remarkably uniform. True, there are
many dialects, but Great Britain, less
in area than any one Of half q dozen of
our States, contains such very different
languages as English, Welsh and the
Gaelic of the Scottish Highlands, to say
nothing of the provincial dialects of
Cornwall and Yorkshire and the unique
speech of the London cockney; while
in this country, with its vast expanse
of territory, its settlement by Spanish,
French, Dutch and Swedish colonists,
and its millions of immigrants drawn
from nearly every country, large and
small, all over the world, there Is far
greater uniformity of speech than In
any other land of equal area and popu-
lation.
The causes can be readily seen. The
public schools have made us nation OF
readers, and the press has supplied
books and papers without limit. Press
associations have done their part to-
ward giving a uniform and fairly good
tone to the newspaper language of the
day. The telegraph, the telephone and
cheap postage have brought distant
parts of the country into quick and
easy communication, and so have aided
in teaching a common language. The
railroad has penetrated every corner of
the land and made US nation of trav
elers. Countless human shuttles thus
are thrown daily across the land In
every direction, carrying with them the
threads of thought and speech and do
Ing their part to make one pattern of
the whole. No doubt our maps, which
still present so many different kinds
Of names, will in time lose the strange
ness and the foreign air" that are so
noticeable now.-St. Nicholas.

of lace applied as bands and inser-
tons.
The shoulder seams are practically
the same, the japanese effect being
still greatly in vogue. Skirts are more
se-fitting, otherwise similar, and so
the modes that prevailed last winter
are by no means out of date yet.
Waistcoats are the rage at present,
also buttons which appear on n dress
in all sorts of unexpected ways; they
are usually covered with the material
the dress is made of, and are repeated
on the shoulders ana sleeves, also on
the basques of cOafs.
Tartans, which make their appear
ance regularly at the beginning OF ev-
cry winter, are again TO the fore, and
seem TO be more liked than ever, espe-
cially i'm very soft shaded and shot eff
fects. They are used in plated skirts,
accompanied by braid-edged, Scotch
looking coats in plain navy blue or
black serge.
A neat street hat has plain round
brim with a heavy fold of velvet
stitched on the outer edge TO protect
the delicate color. This brim is banded
with two colors of velvet and a jaunty
wing is fastened at the front, slightly
curved To the left side and fastened in
pretty manner. Other sailor hats
show immense rosettes very fat, with
a central decoration Of fine buckle.

A woman,s Voice.

Very few women realize what an eff
feet a sweet voice has on a man. 4
woman may be very pretty to look
upon, may be faultlessly and bewitch-
ingly attired and attractive in every
way and yet too often directly she
opens her mouth and speaks the spell
is broken, the charm is gone. And this
need never be.
Very few voices are so naturally bad
that they will not succumb to training
and the voice can be trained to be just
as sweet and gentle as one pleases to
make ii.
A woman should speak in low
voice She should not allow her voice
to raise itself to high pitch. A shrill-
voiced woman is terrible. She should
not shout her orders TO the servants
down the stairs, nor call to any one
who may be in another part of the
house. This shouting and raising of
the voice spoils the tone and quality of
the voice and tends to make it harsh
A pretty voice is a powerful attraction
in woman and she who would add to
her charms a wondrous fascination
should cultivate a voice lever soft, gen.
tie and low"

Poultney Bigelow, the brilliant au

Of the chicken farm that he is about

HOW THEY RUN.
Old Track Athlete Picks Out Men
Who Know the Game,

Old Track Athlete Picks Out Men
Who Know the Game.
"A rainy day." said he old-time COL
lege track athlete to a New York Sun
man, gives a good chance to learn
whether some of the persons who are
In hurry ever had any scientific train
ing in running
of course, among the boys and
young men there are bound to be many
who can run In form, because nova
days every school has plenty of ath-
letes. But many Of the boys use the
exaggerated style of overstriding and
taking long jumps instead Of strides
that Enthusiastically mark the badly
taught runner.
Others run along with little shut
fling steps, hardly getting their feet
from the ground. There are some who
get along in a stiff-legged manner,
which is far from good track style.
'I've seen lots of people who ru,
with heads pulled back and knees
thrown out, starting out bravely at
first and finally getting so tired by this
straining style that eventually their
strides shorten almost to nothing.
Then most Of the unframed runners
do not know what to do with their
arms. Mostly they spread them out
like wings and flap along. They don't
know that the arms help them, If deft-
ly managed, when they are running.
'sThe other day 1 saw rather an old
man, with beard bit gray, who was
caught in rainstorm start off at a
good clip. The swing of his hips his

Of his arms told me that here was an

NeedIewOrk Notes.

To keep ribbon from turning while
runping it through beading do not re-
move the ribbon runner from the bead
ing until the last opening is reached.
Needles should never be kept in fan
Inclined needle books, as sulphur
often enters into the composition or
this material. Sulphur invariably rusts
the needles in time.
Metal eyes which protrude beyond
the edge of the material, where hook
and eye fastening is employed, should
always be carefully and neatly covered
with buttonhole stitching.
Bent pieces of vhalebone can be

When altering a blouse 1t is a mis-.
take to move the shoulder seam to the
front. A better plan Is to let it drop
backward instead of forward.
A collar lining of taffeta should be
cut so that the front part is on the
straight of the material and the curved
part of the collar will then come on
the bias.
1t is a good plan to bend steels or
whalebones at the waistline when max
ing bodice before putting them into
the castings, as the bodice will then fit
closer to the figure.
In sewing piece of material on the
bias to straight piece, the former is
apt to become stretched. To avoid this
the bias should be placed underneath

is at hand it is useful to know that q

In making q blouse, too deep a round

outset. 1t is better to try it on first

With the exception Of the reappear-
ance of the long sleeve and the draped
clinging skirt, there is not much change
in the fashions since last winter.
A three-quarter length carriage coat
Of heavy Chinese embroidered silk cut
in mandarin lines, was finished on the
bottom with a lattice worked silk
fringe in gold, ending in tassels about
ten inches long.
The greatest fashion of the moment
is for natural, undyed ostrich plumeS ;
but feathers of all kinds are the rage,
provided they are long and handsome.
Feather stoles. too, are in great favor
for evening wear.
Evening gowns now being worn by
young girls are both dainty and charm

with sprays Of roses, forget-me-nots or
daisies require only moderate amount

Health and Beauty Hints.
There is no greater mistake than to
try to brighten dull eyes with drugs or
drops.
Only when there is perfect assimila-
ton of the food is a good complexion
possible.
Sometimes eyes get dull from over
work and strain, in which case rest and
freedom from worry are the surest
roads for the would-be bright eyes.
To develop the neck battle it with
warm water, then rub with olive oil,
using a rotary motion. In the morning
use cold water and rub with alcohol.
Every woman knows that fruits
should benefit the complexion il eaten
judiciously, but few understand wheth-
er fresh or cooked ones agree best with
them.
