But It Enriches the Vocabulary of the
Matinee.
"A good many persons" remarked
the man of highbrow proclivities, "are
no longer content to use such old
phrases as simply splendid or per
fectly lovely in expressing their ad-
miration of new book or play. These
persons have dipped into the articles
of professional critics, and to give
their own opinions a stamp of learn
ing and authority have taken over
some of the critics choice expressions.
"A new romance with them is no
longer fine or 'fascinating,' but is
individual and new play, which
under the old style of speech might
have been wonderful is now pro-
nounced psychological or in some
cases, very psychological
"As l was hanging to a strap in an
up town street car the other day
overheard young woman comparing
for the benefit of companion two
plays that are currently in favor on
Broadway.
"Yes, l think this one is the bet
ter she concluded, for it is more
emotional and just as psychological
"'Oh, to be sure her companion,

Purchase Wives in Russia.

Wives are still obtained by purchase
in some parts of Russia. In the dis
trict of Kamyshin, on the Volga, for
example, this is practically the only
wav in which marriages are brought
about The price of a pretty girl
from a well-todo family ranges from
800 to 5000, and in special cases a
much higher sum is obtained. In the
villages the lowest price is about $25.
Scientific Explanation.
Capt. Chandler, the army's chief
aeronaut, said at dinner in Wash
ington the other day.
"The aeronaut to get along must
keep his wits about him. Under the
most adverse circumstances he must
not lose his head. Always he must
be alert and ready, ke-like-well,
like scientist l used to know.
''This scientist gave scientific lee
ture in church one night, and at the
lectures end he said, beaming down
on his audience condescendingly:
"'Now, if there is any scientific
question that any of my friends would
like to ask 1 beg of them not to hesi-
tate. l shall be only too happy to
answer any inquiry in my power
IAN old lady in spectacles that gave
her a severe, stern look rose and said:
"Why do wet tea leaves kill roach?
esq
"The scientist didn't know they did,
let alone the cause of the phenom-
enon, but, never at loss, he replied:
because, madam, when a roach
comes across a wet tea leaf he says:
Hello, here's blanket" and wraps
himself up in it, catches cold and
dies"

Conscientious Workman.

At the Union league of Philadelphia
few days ago the veteran shipbuild-
er, Charles H. Cramp, related a curl
Gus incident of skilled caulker named
Brown, who after many years of ser
vice at the Cramp shipyards, obtained
a more important position at the
navy yard. This man came of a family
which had been employed at Cramps
for three generations, since the early
part of the last century, and was ex-
tremely conscientious. So keen a
sense of duty did Brown possess that,
although he had been placed on the
regular salary list at the navy yard,
nothing could induce him to draw his
pay for the days he did not work. He
had not been accustomed, he said, to
get paid except for working days, and
he was not going to rob the govern
ment" when work was slack.

The one in blue paid. When she

Nand
THE stingy thing! She just picked
up that penny as bluff! I'll never go
shopping with her again!"

better half:

woman in my life Why, she actually
forced me to pay both fares! Isn't it
queer how stingy some people can
ba?"

NOVELTY IN DECORATION LINE.
China Flower Most Effective on the
Center Table.

The latest novelty in decorations
for center table is the china flower.
Baskets of natural flowers are to be
relegated to the conservatory, since
their place can be adequately filled
by this new, warranted-not-to-fade
vegetation which is being imported
from England.
A potted rose bush standing foot
and half high is one of the most at
tractive as we'll as the most expensive
of the models. The bush is in full
bloom, bearing deep pink flowers and
buds, and with every detail of the
foliage accurately reproduced from ma
ture, even to the moss surrounding
the root of the bush.
Another beautiful example of this
new ware is fuchsia plant. The pur-
pie blossoms hang so gracefully from
their stems that it is difficult to be-
lieve that they are artificial.
Less conspicuous designs may be
found, suited to the thinner purse, for
some of these plants are only four
inches tall, including the pot. A great
variety of towering plants are repre-
sented in the china, such as gerani-
ums, dahlias, primroses, tulips, hya-
cinths and pansies, so that your
choice is practically as unlimited as
though you were in florists shop

Before engaging our carriage for a

nYeSu and HNou

1t is useful accomplishment to be
able to say no. but it certainly Is the
essence of amiability to prefer to say
yes where it is possible. There is
something wrong in the man who does
not hate himself whenever he is con-
strained to say no" And there was
great deal wanting in this born dis
senter. He was almost shockingly de-
void of weaknesses; he had not
enough of them to be truly polar with
humanity; whether you called him a
demigod or a demi-man, he was at
least not altogether one of us, for he
was not touched with a feeling of our
infirmities. The worlds heroes have
room for all positive qualities, even
those which are disreputable, in the
capacious theater of their dispositions.
Such can live many lives; while a
Thoreau can live but one, and that
only with perpetual oresight.-Robert

Washinaton's Comments and
Advice on the Subject.

Some years ago there was negro
conference at Tuskegee, Ala, the site
of Booker T. Washington's famous IN
stttute, and one of the most prominent
speakers was Mrs. Lucy Nelson OF
Dadeville, Ala. This woman was an
extremely black African, but she was
neatly dressed-had passed, indeed,
the "sunbonnet stage" as Mr.. Wash
ington calls those of his people just
budding into more ambitious ana
broader existence. Under the cross
examination oe Mr.. Washington the
woman related most interesting eX-
perience-an experience that should
be an inspiration to the whole colored
race.
DO the people in your community
own homes, Mrs Nelson?" asked
Booker T. Washington.
81 thinks they's fixin' to own 'em,

but do they own them?"

oh, jest so little; an | snapped the
puppy with him for one of the pigs. 1t
was such a little pig that it didn't
look like it would live, but I nursed
1t good, and | prayed to the Lord to
make that little pig come for'ard to
do me good, and the pig lived and
grew. The first year l turned her
out, and when she came back in the
fall she brought me seven little pigs
with her. That was my start. I've
never had to buy any meat since.
This winter I've killed three hogs, and
I've got another at home now ready to
kill. I've got 40 acres of land now, all

TWO.INCH PANEL ON SLEEVE.
About the Most Popular of Trimmings
Just Now Affected.


Just Now Affected.
No sooner had a line of buttons
made its appearance down the back
of the sleeve from shoulder to wrist
than all manner of trimming along
this line put in it's appearance.
Rosettes, fiat bows, embroideries
and several rows of buttons sprang
into fashion as trimming from shoul-
der to wrist.
The most popular of these now is
the two-inch panel. 1t is made OF net
on cloth sleeves, of embroidered net
on transparent sleeves, of tucked satin
on silk and wooden fabrics.
The cloth sleeve, tight fitting from
shoulder to wrist, is very much en-
Hvened by two-inch panel of tucked
filet net either of cream or in the
color of the cloth. 1t must show the
arm of course; women have given up
all idea of swathing this part of the
body this season.
Transparent sleeves are the rule,
and in comparison with them the
panel of net is harmless.

For Good Speaking Voice.

Don't contract the throat when
speaking. Try to keep it free, the
cords flexible and easy to manage.
Don't forget that it is worth practicing
in the privavy of ones room to learn
the natural register, the tones in
which the voice works best. BY these
exercises there is not the slightest
danger of becoming declamatory. A
declamatory style of conversation is a
horror, but much will be gained If
one tries the experiment of making a
tone reach the next room without
raising the pitch of the voice. This
means deep breathing, chest expan-
sion and head held erect. Without
these three it is impossible to have
a good speaking yoice-a fact worth
remembering.

EMERsoN's MEMORY AT FAULT.
Had at Times Almost Entire Lack
of Remembrance.

Emerson was a notable sufferer
from the vagaries Of memory. His BIZ
ographer relates that he met him one
day in Boston, apparently at loss for
something, and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson,
with a very old and dear friend. I
know where she lives, but | hope she
won't ask me her name," and then he
proceeded to describe her as the
mother of the wife of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so well, y
and so on, until his interlocutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names Of common objects
often failed him completely. On one
occasion, when he wanted an umbrel-
la, he said: Il can't tell its name, but
can tell it's history. Strangers take
1t away"
This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellows funeral. and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin: HE was a
sweet and beautiful soul; but | have
entirely forgotten his name"
