HARD TO IMPRESS MODERATION.
Women Prone to overdo Things When
Exercise Is Ordered.

1t is quite difficult to impress upon
women the good of exercise; but it is
equally difficult to compel them not to
overdo it,
Give woman a pair of dumbbells
and tell her to take a gentle exercise
for five minutes every morning, and
she will swing them with violence
several times day until her arms
ache from exhaustion.
Tell her to play tennis during pleas
ant days, and she will play it for
hours, at all hours, without modera-
tion or judgment.
1t is the same with every form Of
exercise suggested. 1t seems the ma
ture of woman to overdo it through ig
norance. They do not know its value
enough to comprehend it's danger.
They think if little is good more is
better.
They weary themselves out, deplete
their heart action, give themselves
acute indigestion, all because they will
not do in moderation the thing that
would make them well and strong.
Doctors and physical culturists say
they have to fight this tendency in
women more than any other one thing
when they are upbuilding their blood
and tissues.

Ribbons for Fall.

Many of the new fall and winter cos
tunes will be finished off with a SASH
due largely to the directoire style now
in vogue. These will be made of broad
satin of soft pliable quality, and will
swathe the waist in soft folds, the
ends falling gracefully down the side
or front of the costume Already this
fashion is beginning to show in the
latest summer styles, as many of the
lingerie princess frocks are now COM
pleted with a ribbon sash fastened to
the back only. In some fall gowns the
sash is on the Turkish idea, being
wound tightly around the waist and
hips, and then falling in soft folds al
most to the bottom of the costume.
The up-to-date sash must be of a shade
to harmonize with the costume, rather
than to contrast.

The Workbaq.

Of course, hemstitching is always
to be desired as trimming for dainty
lingerie, but just at present it is espe-
cially in favor-many garments being
trimmed exclusively with the dainty
hand finish, without the assistance of
yard of lace or embroidery.
A handy piece of work to keep in
that pretty little workbag that lives
on the porch table is long strip of
handkerchief linen or fine batiste-
Just the width of ruffle for drawers
or petticoat-with threads drawn and
hem turned and basted.
A few moments stitching now and
then will result, presently, in a yard
or 81 of hemstitched flouncing, which
will be most useful when lingerie ma
king is in order Yards of ruff1ing
may be hemmed in this way, and the
occupation prove pleasant pastime,
which, otherwise, would be tedious

The Capital |.

The London Chronicle says the Eng
hsh use of the capital is one of the
oldest features of our language to a
foreigner. A Frenchman writing with
reference to himself makes his equiva-
lent "je" with a small a. The Ger
man, who may begin all his nouns will
a capital letter, always uses the small
ii" in writing "ich." The Spaniard
avoids as far as possible the use of the
personal pronom when writing in the
first person, but he disdains capital
when he must write 'yo' In the equiv
alent of our you. however, he uses the
capital letter. Yet in English it is big
81" and little you" One wishes, says
the Boston Herald, while the Chronicle
man was about it he had whacked the
careless Harvard graduate for so often
using "I' for me! Harvard graduates
and many other educated persons
forget their grammar sadly at times.
1t would break their hearts to be told
what bad English they used when say
ing 'he don't" for "he doesn't and
between you and l." yet even in the
sacred shades of Cambridge have these
terrible errors been heard! Though
why lug in Cambridge? There are
others.

The Princess UndersIip.

A summer gown keeps its freshness
much longer when made without a lin.
ing, and worn instead over a princess
underslip that can be laundered when
ever necessary. These underslips may
be of wash silk or of lawn or batiste-
the latter is much cooler-and are
boned and fitted quite as carefully as
the lining OF a gown would be.
Whether the skirt be long or short, it
is we'll to have it finished on the un.
derside with dainty lace trimmed
ruftie corresponding to that on the
upper side of the skirt-for then there
is no possibility, when seated, OF
showing the unfinished side of the
petticoat. Of course, too, for the dec
ollete gown, the underslip is cut low
and sleeveless.-Vogue.

Brazil began to celebrate, on July IA,
the one hundredth anniversary of
King Johns proclamation opening the
ports of the country to the world.
King John VI. of Portugal fed from
Europe to his South American prov
ince to escape Napoleon. Rio de ia
metro became and remained for time
the Portuguese capital. Although
Brazil is no longer a Portuguese pos
session, the anniversary of the procla-
nation was selected as the date for
the opening of a great national eXhibi,
tion of the products of the country.
The only foreign nation invited to par
ticipate is Portugal. Don Carlos had
arranged to he present, but his assas-
SinatiOn has 80 affected affairs that the
mother country will be represented by
special officers sent by King Manuel.
Each Of the 20 states of Brazil has a
characteristic exhibit in the grounds of
the fair, and suitable place has been
assigned to the Portuguese exhibit.

To Hold Hair Ribbons.

The little girl who wears her hair
braided down her back and tied on the
end with ribbon knows what it is to
lose many hair ribbons during the
course of a year, but the mothers
know even more about it. One mother
dressing her little girls to go to a pic.
mic few days ago arranged the hair
in this manner. 1t was braided ara
fastened on the end with rubber elias
tic, one of the small ones. The loon
was drawn out, the ribbon run through
the elastic and tied in the usual man,
ner. Every ribbon returned home that
night.

Honorary DEGREES.

With scarcely an exception, those
who have received honorary degrees
from the colleges this summer deserve
the distinction. The same was true
last year and the year before; 1t is
true every year. Nor does the supply
of men worthy of scholastic distinc-
tion grow less. Every year many men
who have been seriously devoting
themselves to their work are found to
have risen so far above the general
level of their fellows that a recognition
of their achievement is appropriate.
They may not have attained great
eminence, but they have distinguished
themselves, and have attracted atten-
tion as men who have risen and are
rising. Recognition of their superiori-
ty is gracious and encouraging. The
colleges perform public service in
decorating them with a doctorate OF
laws, or philosophy, or science, or let
ters, or divinity. It may be urged that
the desire TO be tagged as an honorary
doctor" is unworthy. 1t may be ad-
mitted that it is mot so high a motive
as the desire to serve without regard
to praise or blame. Yet men are SO
constructed that the most of them
need encouragement and the inspira-
ton of appreciation to do their best
work. Therefore, the prospect of win
ming sach distinction as will attract
the attention of the degree comforting
authorities must be included among
the incentives to endeavor. 1t takes
a heroic soul to do q great work In
secret, careless of praise or blame and
few of us, remarks the Youths Com
panion, have heroic souls. For those
who do not achieve the distinction of
honorary degrees there remains the
reward of the appreciation of their
friends. The duty of the friends to
make that appreciation known is no
less than the duty of the colleges to
honor great achievement

The SnIder and the FIv.

In the long warfare between the
spider and the fly, the latter has had
the housewife for it's auxiliary and
friend. The flies have been tolerated,
even fed and nurtured, while the
spiders and their webs have been ruth
lessly destroyed. This unremitting
and unrelenting war against it keeps
the spider population down, while the
flies increase and multiply by the
millions and ten of millions, almost
unchecked. The spider is ugly and
his web is unsightly in the estima-
tion of most people, but spiders hurt
no human creature. They feed ON
flies, which are the foes of mankind,
and do mankind a service.-Philadel
phia Press.

Truth and
Quality

snneal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy Of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses'
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

NOW THE DRAPED WAlsTcoAT.
It Is Worn with Fancy Jackets and Be-
comes Woman of Slim Figure.

The draped waistcoat has come in
again. 1t is to be worn with fancy
Jackets, and will prove especially be-
coming to thin figures. Being made to
wear with a princess skirt, or a skirt
having a princess belt, 1t is very short,
coming just to the top of the prin-
cess belt. 1t is much shorter at the
sides than the front and very much
shorter in the back than anywhere
else. The back is absolutely plain
and tight-fitting, and it is most i'm
portant that it should fit well, other
wise the effect of the outer jacket
cannot be successful The drapery
begins at the shoulder seams, where
the material is laid in folds. There
are more folds which come from the
under arm seam, so that the front of
the waistcoat is entirely draped, the
folds being arranged to give an equal
fulness across the bust. The waist
coat is double-breasted and has four
buttons, covered with the material.
Such waistcoat is usually worn
over a thin shirtwaist that is not par
ticularly elaborate because it will
hardly be seen, although it should be
very well fitting and of sheer material,
otherwise the costume will be too
warm and one may not remove coat
worn over a waistcoat There is al
most always high collar and fancy
jabot worn with such waistcoats, and
either jabot or a lace bow Of some
dimensions is necessary to make the
proper effect

The pope Is credited with the re-
mark that II the Roman Catholic
church could lie as highly respected
in other countries as in the
United States he would be in
favor Of the separation of church and
state everywhere The church is re-
spected here because communities of
the United States all began with
policy of religious freedom, and have
never tolerated a state church. In the
other countries, where the supremacy
OF one church was established by law,
1t is not easy to hold respect when the
preference is withdrawn.
