The Assize court at Hirschberg, in Si- lesia, has sentenced & widow, named Glaeser' to death for having poisoned, through greed and cupidity, two children of her son-in-law. The children were the offspring of the son-in-law's former mar riage.
 A singular feature of the trial Is that Frau Glaesar Is the third woman in two years from the same village who has been sentenced to death for poisoning. The first was Frau Feige, who was con demned to death and executed. The eec- ond submitted to the same fate

Massage viii Remove Wrinkles.

E NJ R.: Il have used your direc-
tons for reducing the hips with fine re-
suits Will you please send me the for
mula for glove paste? Also kindly tell
me of something for removing wrinkles
under the eyes.
l am mailing you the formula for the
glove paste and skin food. Massage,
with the aid of a good skin food, will
eradicate the wrinkles under your eyes.
In massaging the lines about the eyes
the movement should begin by rubbing
the eyelids from the nose outward half
an inch beyond the end of the eye, then
returning below the eye toward the
nose Another excellent movement IS
to hold the skin taut and then knead
the lines firmly with the first and sec
ond fingers of the right hand.

may be had only among the quite eX-
perienced models A soft line round the
top of the corset is another of her
needs. and the corsetiere has struggled
10 meet this demand by narrowing in
the thin woman's corset across the up
per back and under the arm. so that
the garment will not stand away from
the womans figure and accentuate the
hard line. Again, an effort has been
made TO heighten the bust front. and
to tie it in to the figure; but when all is
said and done. there remains at some
point eother back or front, a hiatus
between the corset and the wearer.
Whether she be tall or short. the
thin woman is almost invariably the
long-Waisted woman. With the length
of waist comes usually q length of
rib cage. the most prominent part of
which is low down, and if the woman
be erect ii shows a bump above the
waist line. To put on the corset so
that there is not a Whalebone press
ure on this bump, the corset is pulled
down Manifestly this lowering act
keeps the corsets's upper edge from
hugging closely to the woman's bust,
and leaves the hollow space which per-
mits the aforesaid hard corset line.
The point of which | speak cannot
be eliminated but have been more
successfully grappled with in the eX-
pensive models, which are the solu
ton for the wealthy woman. Some
thin women, however, have CORE
spondingly thin purses. and to them
the best advice is. the softest, thin
nest corset for the money"
A soft corset is always possible to
the mateur filter. 1t may be darted in
at the upper back and slightly padded
under the arm. The outside contour
can be improved, by triple frills across
the bust line and in the continued
wearing it complies somewhat more to
the figure.
No thin woman has a right to
squeeze her figure. and if the truth
were known she does not want to,
because it is painful process ana
wholly unnecessary. All there is of
her needs expansion and not com
preston. Her aim should be comfort
for herself, a lack of corset outline and
a softened contour.

Ribbon and Lace Economy.

AT the present time the use of rio
bons and lace is SO considerable al
TEN in women's dress that any little
tricks whereby their use can be O.
tended will produce noticeable econo-
mics in the dress bills of the fashion
able woman. Ribbons dye very easily
and can be so treated by any careful
housewife.
All the soiled ribbons from any sea-
son can be dipped in d dark shade and
employed as ribbons for the hair and
for belts. As for several seasons past
it has been the mode TO have all the
ribbons and iaces on any costume car
ried out in one tone of color. much
money can be saved by dyeing various
soiled laces and ribbons in dargeT
shade.
For Instance. lavender dresses are
trimmed frequently with ribbons and
laces dyed to the same shade. and
brown laces are frequently made Up
into entire guimpes to be worn with
brown cloth suits. Hats can also be
made UP of these dyed laces and rib
bons and a great deal of it IS used in
trimming sleeves after the japanese
style and cut, which is extremely mod
ish atethis period.
In dyeing soiled laces and ribbons

and, if intelhgently used in deciding on
the darker color TO be used. splendid
results can be gotten and great econ
omy obtained The dye should be made
carefully as to directions, and it must
be remembered that the slightest de-
tail is most important. Then the dye
should be tested with a small piece of
the ribbon or lace it is proposed to dye.
This should be allowed to dry. as the
dye frequently changes color after dry
ing If the sample comes out accord
ing to the intention of the dyer I is
then perfectly safe to insert all the
soiled ribbons. If these are very much
soied dip in gasoline or benzine will
take much of the dirt off and make
the dyeing proposition easier to handle.
All articles dipped in either gasoline or
benzine should be allowed to dry in the
open air before going ahead with the
use of the dye.

Brinqinq Up a Child.

The clever modern mother has come
to take anything but a boastful view of
the precocious infant. Despite news
paper Jokes. she has learned the truth
of that old saw, Forced fruits fail in
flavor"
The place of children is the nursery,
not the limelight: little ones who are
allowed to emerge early from their Sc
clusion are robbed of their rightful
heritage of childish joys.
The child who is brought up in the
city must of necessity see life at an
early age. Its daily walk On the streets
cannot but be an eye opener to an OBJ
servant youngster while the more for
NAL pleasures of dancing classes and
matinees forestar grown-up joys in a
way that is not always beneficial.
Therefore, there is a growing belief in
the country as the place to raise chill
dren.
There is the fresh age to be lived
through, trying as it is. when boys and
girls get ''smarty'' Mothers often have
themselves TO blame that the dreaded
freshness becomes constitutional rather
than sporadic. The forced witty child
becomes the bore of later years who
thinks he was born to be a humorist.
In trying to avoid forcing, it is well
not to err on the side of ultraeXclusive-
ness. There is a mother of a charming
debutante who cannot understand Why
her daughter is not in close Touch with
the rest of the girls of her age. 1t is
because the girl was brought up with
out young companions, was taught to
dance by private tutors and was not
permitted to have girl chums.
1t is temptation to mothers to yield
to persuasion of the overgrown. clever
daughter to go with girls older than
herself The mature girl of IA sees no
reason why she should not go TO the
dances of girls of 16 and Il, and often
the mother weakly yields.-New York

ST. PETERS TREASURY.
Its Fine Relics Are Easily Seen by All
Who Care to Look.

Rome. Dec. 1.-The treasury of st.
Peters. by far the richest collection of
church ornaments and Vestments in
the world, although open to the public,
has hitherto been seen with difficulty,
owing to the very small space of the
room in which it was contained.
Thanks to Cardinal Rampolla, arch
priest of the Bisilica. and Monsignor
de Bisogno dean of the chapter, to
whom the work of arrangement was
entrusted, the treasures are now prop
crly set out and arranged behind glass
in two rooms which have been set
apart for the purpose behind the
sacristy and can now be viewed with
out being taken out, almost one by
one, from the locked cupboards in
which they were stored.
The gain is not only to the public,
who can now see them more easily,
but also to the preservation of some
of the more ancient veStmentS, which,
however carefully handled, always ran
some risk of being moved.
Among these may be instanced the
famous dalmatic OF Leo Ill. worn at
the coronation of Charlcmagnc, and
since enormously called the dalmatiC
of Charlemagne. a marvellous Speci-
men of Byzantine art which has kept
it's beauty of color for fully 100 years
Many of the copes and other vest
ments. of which there is q vast coller-
ton, are hardly less beautiful and in
tcrcstinG. The most ancient treasure
of all is the Crux Vaticana, which
according to tradition. was given by
JuStiniau, emperor OF the East, and
dates from the sixth century.
There are also in the treasury a
wealth of caSkets, chalices and other
vessels dating fro the 18th and 14tl
! centuries. and the famous six Candida
; bra in silver gilt. the work of Ben
vcnuto Cellini. and two others made by
