Thousands of American women in our homes are daily sacrificing their lives to duty.
 In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children we'll dressed and tidy, women overdo. A female weakness or displacement is often brought on and they suffer in silence. drifting along from bad to worse, knowing we'll that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches which daily make life burden.
 It IS to these faithful women that

China's Efforts to Suppress Opium.


The plan outlined in the edicts pro-
hibiting opium is clear. direct. forcible. II
was evidently meant to be effective. t
provides. first. that the governors of the
provinces shall ascertain. through the
local authorities. the exact number OF
acres under poppy cultivation. The era
OF the land used for this purpose shall
then be cut down by one ninth part each
year. $50 that at the end of nine years
there will be no more land used for such
purposes, and the land thus disused"-I
am quoting here from lie Cninaman who
translated the regulations for me-"shall
never DE used for the said purposes again.
Should the owners of such lands disobey
the decree their lands shall be confiscated
Local officials, who make special efforts
and be able to stop the cultivation OF
.oppy before the said time they, shall be
rewarded with promotions"
The plan provides. second, that 'aI
smokers, irrespective of class or sex,
must go to the nearest authorities to get
certificates. In which they are to write
their names. addresses, profession. ages
and the amount OF opium smoked each
day" Latitude is allowed smokers over
sixty years of age, but those under sixty
must get cured before arriving at sixty
years of age. Persons who smoke or buy
opium without certificates will be- pun
ished. No new smokers will be allowed
from the date of prohibition. The amount
of opium supplied to each smoker must
decrease by one-third each year so that
within q few years there will be no opium
smoked at ALL" Officials' who overstep
the law are to be deprived OF their rank
In the case of common people their
names will be posted up thoroughfares
and will be deprived OF privileges In al
public gatherings.

Symbolism Of College Gowns.
Prom Hafper's Weekly.

1t has been said that few people in
Guiding many university men themselves
have any definite idea Of the meaning of
the gowns worn by collegiate students.
In America university gowns exhibit
much variety. there being a great differ
ence in the various Institutions; but all
over the country-in fact. all over the

The ordinary bachelors gown. the first

The Highest Building in New York

The Highest Building in New York.
The wonderful Singer building that you
have read so much about is very nearly
finished and is quite brilliantly lighted
every evening. From the ferryboat cross
ing the river it looks like lofty tower
but does not appear as tall as it really Is
because it is considerably dwarfed by the
building erected for the terminals Of the
downtown Hudson river tunnels, which
runs up to thirty-two stories and will be
the largest in the country. Nevertheless,
the Singer building has forty-six stories
and counting the lantern. is effect high.

hands except the Eiffel tower-fifty-seven
feet higher than the Washington rnOnu-
ment, 127 feet higher than the Great
Pyramid of Egypt and 212 feet higher
than the dome of st. Peters in Rome.
1t is interesting to compare it with other
tall structures: Singer building. 6l2 feet; ;

rRANsPLANTED EYE1AsHEs.
Eyebrows, Too, Will Be Supplied by
a Skillful Specialist.

From Health.
In Paris and London. where the idea
originated. there are specialists who make
a handsome living out Of the process OF
transplanting hair from the head to the
eyebrows or eyelashes. Only the brave
and rich can patronize the new method at
present. for besides being painful and
costly it takes long time to accomplish
it.
The specialist works by putting in. not
on. the new eyelashes and eyebrows wher-
ever they are absent or grow thin, and so
cunning is he In his work that not even
the closest scrutiny can detect any diff
ference. BY means of the new process it
Is said. eyes which are at ordinary times
only passable become langushing in their
expression. while eyes which were previ-
ously considered fine have their beauty
much enhanced.
This is the way new eyelashes are nut
in: An ordinary fine needle Is threaded
with long hair. generally taken from the
head OF the person to be operated upon
The lower border Of the eyehd Is then
thoroughly cleaned. and in order that the
process may be as painless as possible,
rubbed with a solution Of cocaine The
operator then. by few skillful touches,
runs his needle through the extreme edges
of the eyelid between the epidermis and
the lower DOrder or the cartilage OF the
tragus. The needle passes in and out
along the edge of the lid. leaving its hair
thread in loops of carefully graduated
length. When this has been done an
other and another length of hair is sewed
through the lid until finally there are a
dozen or more loops projecting.
BY this time the effect of the cocaine
has been lost and the operator is obliged
to desist and put off the further sewing
Of hair for another sitting. The next
step in the process is cutting OF and
trimming the ends of the loops, and the
result is a fine. thick. long set Of eye
lashes. It is the finishing touch that Is
to come that makes them look like ma
lures own. When they are first cut they
stick out In the most singular fashion,
giving the person operated upon the most
uncanny look. The operators next step
is to take curling tongs. made of silver
and no larger than Hitting needles. and
to give them the curve which Is essential
to perfect beauty. Then the eyes are care
fully bandaged and kept so until the fol-
lowing day.
Most of the hairs that have been trans
planted take root and grow, hut few Of
them fall out and have to be attended to.
For the first month it is necessary TO curl
the new eyelashes every day. but after
Lthat--theX become properly assimilated.

Kill Cattle In Montana-Hunt in
Big Packs.
he Anaconda Standard

From the Anaconda Standard.
For some unknown reason wolves are
coming back into our section of the
state" said Frank Metzel. prominent as
stockman and ranchman OF the upper
Ruby valley for many years. land they
are creating considerable havoc. They
think nothing nowadays Of coming into
a barnyard and making kill and a
number of valuable animals have re-
Gently been destroyed by the varmints.
'Only a few days ago a pack invaded
one of the pastures near the c. Y. Lara
bic Brook Nook ranch and killed two
finely bred colts while their dams were
powerless to prevent it, and with ranch
hands less than half mile away. There
are a number of other incidents in the
valley where they invaded the corrals
and killed calves, and it is nothing in
frequent for a killing to be made in a
pasture.
Until within the last few years our
section Of the country had been free from
this curse of the range and II Is only in
isolated cases that gray wolf was ever
reported. Now they go In packs and hunt
systematically. l can remember the older
men OF the valley telling of seeing wolf
packs in the early '70s. but those old-time
hunters were SO relentless in their hunt
Of the animals that few escaped, and IT
was believed that the entire wolf tribe
OF that part OF Montana was practically
exterminated. 1t Is only during the last
few years-since he establishment Of the
forest reserve system--that the wolves
have become particularly pernfcious.
There is some talk OF the forestry bureau
putting in a. trappsr to hunt the wolves
in the Madison reserve this winter.
1.-THE situation regarding the wolves in
the upper part of the Ruby valley Is
really a serious one, and the stockmen OF
the county are feeling the loss keenly,
for wolf is almost as big as a st. Ber-
nard dog and has an appetite in proper
ton. 1t takes lot to feed him. and he
generally likes to feed on warm flesh and
do the killing himself. or else be in on 1t.
He rs not coyote to play the jackal and
feed OF carbon.
"For a while secuted at the idea Of
wolves being in the valley in numbers.
but had occasion to change my mind a
few weeks ago. I was above the upper
canyon looking after some stock, and
camped near the Carruthers cabins. Be-
fore daylight got UP and found that the

rounded by business blocks instead OF


residences.
Business is creeping up 9Th avenue very
rapidly. Some of the finest hotels and
clubs in the country are in that imme-
date neighborhood: 1t Is convenient to the
elevated. the subway and the surface car
lines. and is only six short blocks from
Central Park. Hence 1t has been decided
to tear down the present structure and
erect upon the same site a temple of pure
French Gothic that will resemble the ca
thedral at Bourges. France. with sugges-
lions of Westminster Abbey. The plans
that I described a year ago were pub
lished in pamphlet form with iliustra-
tons and distributed among the members
of the church and congregation for criti-
cisms and suggestions. This novel idea
has proved to be useful In awakening an
interest in the enterprise and In bringing
out suggestions and opinions from many
people Of good taste and architectural
knowledge. The final plans are now COM
plete. The working drawings and specif-
cations are being prepared by Cram
Goodhue & Ferguson, the architects, and
the work Of tearing down the old struc-
ture will begin in the spring.
The new church. which Is estimated to
cost about a million dollars in round
numbers. will be 214 feet long. A feet
wide and 95 feet from the pavement to
accommodate 1852 people. The new
building will cover the site of the presen,
church, the rectory on SD street and also
the present parish room. which will make
it necessary to provide a rectory else
where.
There will be an imposing tower similar
to that of Westminster Abbey at the cor
ner of 9Th avenue and SD street. with
four spires and the main feature OF tne
exterior will be 9Th avenue portal OF
monumental proportions. The interior
will be a pure Gothic basilica. lighted
wholly from clerestory windows and hav-
ing at the west >end three lancet-shaped
windows filed with stained glass. Over
the eastern. gallery. which is small. will
be a large round window. No arch sep
arates the nave from the chancel. The
columns are well separated. so as not tc
interfere with the view of the sanctuary
which is very deep. and at the eastern
end will be ornamented with handsome
reredos similar to that in the cathedral OF
Winchester. England.
At the south. with an entrance from the
| tower. will be a chapel capable OF seating
