make for her trousseau or home. 1t is
indeed a very old fashioned idea which
still prevails. that women must pro-
vide a linen chest, the table linen, the
bedding, towels. curtains and the ike.
This is not expected of the average
bride ever when she can afford such
Injuries. 1t is very nice and conve-
nient to have these articles, and 1t IS
not improper for one to provide herself
with the necessities, but 1t is not ex-
pected. The only advantage is this:
The articles will probably be much
nicer than ready purchased ones, and
the clever girl will give a touch of
handwork with monograms and the like

Have You a Pretty Mouth?

"A good mouth is n with a curved,
short upper lip and a soft, ull-bu NOT
too full-lower lip, both being a fresh
pink color. Round about the mouth
gEoald be fair, smooth skin, without
al trace of down OF hair. Unhapplly,
roo many women have to complain OF
a growth of hair about the mouth,
Which is fatal from the American
standpoint of beauty. Moles, too, in
the vicinity of the mouth, may be re-
moved without pain by the electric
needle. But there are other slight dis
ffgurenlents which a woman can easily
remedy for herself.
ssThose who are in the habit of using
Preparations to whiten the skin, and
are. at the same time, afraid of en-
ceuraging superfiuous hairs, will usual
" omit 10 apply the preparation in the
vicinity Of the lips, with the result that
presently they notice h skin there to
be at least one shade darker than any
where else on the face. For such a
mark about the mouth n may safely
advise the use of fresh lemon juice
squeezed into a small quantity OF glyc-
crime, just to make the liquid sufficient
" emollient to apply round about the
mouth as far as the discoloration is
noticed.
This lotion need not be rubbed in too
vigorously, but a small amount of rub-
bing. will be. requisite, while some OF
the mixture can De dabbed on and al
lowed to dry. Warm water, together
With a little soap, will wash away the
Sickiness, If very little glycerine be
used the lotion would have nc tendency
to create superfiuous hairs, and the
lemon juice ought very quickly to re-
raoye the shade of darkness. Glycerine
though not good for a majority of skins
Is very useful as a lip salve, counter
acting either winter chapping or sum-

Lanolin, 2 ounces.
Sweet almond oil, 4 ounces.

About Sash Curtains.

Your sash curtains really should
reach only to the sill, and not below it,
and whether the inside curtains hang
to the floor or not is merely a matter
of taste. The colonial style Of inside
curtain is exceedingly pretty for bed
rooms. These are hung at each side of
the window, with a short frill at the
top, and have a short curtain in the
centre, say about fifteen or seventeen
inches long, according to the length of
the window. The side parts usually
hang just below the window sill or may
reach to the floor, If you prefer.

Washington. Dec 24.-fspeciai.l l--- some of the senators who are opposing with might and main the connrma- ton of fudge oscar R. Hundley, have received full information as to the recent action of the Birmingham bar.
 Letters on the subject are to the effect that other bars in the Northern districts of Alabama are expected to take similar action.
 Senator A. 0.

EXPERT TESTIFIES
SAYS NORTHERN PACIFIC IS OVER
 CAPITALIZED.
Estimate submitte6 in Minaesota Rate Case Shows q Difference of S10sO0o,0gO from the Re-
 pert of the Company.

St. Paul. Minn., Dec 24.--Dwight c. Morgan, an expert employed by inc state to make a valuation of the prop erty of the railroads In Minnesota, es- umated the value of the Northern Pa- ciac Railway compsny's property in the figures reported by the company's
 Sfr. Morgan also considers that the capitaiization of the company in Min nesota exceeds the present value of the property 1t owns.
 . Thes estimate as submitted by MT. Morgan today in the Northern Pacific taken before Charles E. Otis. master In chancery, shows the total cost, of reconstruction. new of all the property of the Northern Pacific in Minnesota at es2.4As.si3.
 Tl.e present value of the Northern Pacific property in Minnesota is given at e54,i47.sz4. The estimate of the cost of reconstruction of the road as submitted by the ofhciais of the com pany was oi,0o0.000.
 The estimates presented by Mfr. Mor. gan are entered as evidence in the hearing. which was brought by the stockholders Of the company to pre- vent the enforeefhent of the commodity rate law and the state, as defendant.
 
 rates as prescribed under the direc- tion of the Railroad and warehouse Commission, allow adequate compen- sati0n for the amount of money in- vested by the company.
 Mir Morgan has excluded from his statement the value of construction work, which was complete at the time of the completion of his report, June 30s 1907. The railroad company has included in its statement aii of the work that was done up to June 90, 1908, which also accounts for q por- tion Of the difference in the two estl- mates. In making the two estimates, common ground was reached by con- sessions on each side and In a number of instances the values for the differ- ent items are the same. Tn consider ing the value Of the general ofices of the company in St. Paul, Mir Morgan's value is $S0,e00 below the figures given by the company.

 It was the loss of the rife that dark ened the sky of the minimizing child. The mother faced in dumb misery an infinitely greater tragedy.
