Your Troubles.

After all, the relativity of human
misery is a matter of profound signifi-
canoe to the miserable. 1t is idle to
say that we cannot bear our own pang
any better because some one else suf-
fers a sharper one. In point Of fact, II
we do not bear it better for knowing
how much more severe it might be,
we are either stupid or ungrateful, or
both, and which of us Is ready to an
swer to this charge? 1t is the tendency
of continued physical suffering to re-
fine the brain and the spirit, and as a
class, invalids are not dull; nor do
think them lacking in gratitude.
Take the situation without idle ro-
nance or misdirected restlessness.
You suffer pain. But can you sleep?
Generally speaking, can you command
a sufficient number of hours uncon-
sciousness out of the "a? Then is pain
a secondary and quite manageable af-
fair. Your nerves are shaken or shat
tered But are you disabled? Can you
move about? Then, If you cannot
(Which is altogether possible), eXer-
else your nervous system into obed-
fence, at least, you can control it so
far that you ought to thank Heaven
for every motor muscle left at your
ommand.-Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,

The First Year.

The woods are full of brides now
adays and they are thinking their lives
will be one long dream of bliss. It's
"deary" and honey" all the time, and
the glamour of their dreams still
hangs over them.
But soon they will begin to under
stand that it is not all dream, says
the Indianapolis News. They will re-
member how grandmother told them
on their wedding day that their first
year together would be the hardest Of
all; that the faults of each would ap-
pear in time and each must learn the
lesson of patience il happiness were
10 last throughout the first year.
AS the days go by their common in
terests develop, and if they each unite
in an effort to bear with the failings
Of the other, the yoke which seemed
sometimes to bind closely will grow
easy and be but companionable tie.
1t is well to remember what good
old William Cowper says:
The bindest and the happiest pair
VIII find occasion to forbear,
And something, every day they live,
To pity, and perhaps forgive.

Trick of Desianers.

Not until very recently have fashion
designers taken to merging one style
with another. This has brought about,
among others, two very graceful modes
styled the radiation effect and the
modified moyenage. Both are best il
lustrated by models.
In a collection Of sample dresses
lately placed on display at one of our
more up-to-date shops there is one OF
foulard, dull blue with an old gold
dot in it. 1t, too, had the appearance OF
being fashioned with separate tunic,
but was in one piece. The skirt evil
IDENTIFY was cut five or six inches long
or than it was desired to be when fin
ished, and evened after the drapery or
the stimulated tunic had been ar
ranged. This was accomplished by
drawing the skirt about seven inches
from the bottom up and the upper
portion over 1t in pouched fashion.
and then re-arranging it in an undu-
lating line not necessarily straight.
That is, the upper portion, which
droops over, should seem to be mere
ly caught here and there, when, as a
matter of fact, in order to have it re-
tain the shape that from such treat
ment it would naturally assume. It

Sliuhted By the Police.

With so many commodious and hos
pitable jails as we have, it seems sur
prising that the business OF selling
so-called editions de luxe at enormous
prices to credulous people should con-
tinue 10 flourish, says writer in Har.
per's Weekly. In a case that was in
the courts last week rich widow of
Chicago contracted to pay s97,500 for
13 volumes of the works of Charles
Dickens. She actually did pay $4,000
and gave notes for $4,000 more, and
the case came to court on the suit of
a third party to compel payment of
the notes. The books are supposed
to have cost about $50 apiece. There
have been many Of these cases. Usu-
ally the vendors of these literary lux
uries have dealt with rich old ladies
of impaired judgment, but sometimes
they have imposed wonderfully o.
folk who should have known better,
and are said to have caught Comp
troller Metz. We do not recaA that
any one of them has been sent to pri-
son yet, which argues that their busi-
ness has not received the attention

Girls Dress.

The dress that can be worn either
with or without guimpe as the day
may require Is a serviceable one, and
this pretty little model possesses that
advantage at the same time that 1t Is
chic and attractive. In the illustra-
tion it is made from simple printed
wash fabric with bands of white. For
the trimming bands any contrasting
material would be epretty, and IL some
thing very elaborate were wanted
they could be made from embroidery
or heavy lace, or they could be braid
ed with the soutache that is such a
favorite. The sleeves are cut in one
with the blouse portion, and the labor
of making is slight in the extreme,
yet the dress is one of the most at
tractive the season has to offer.
The frock is made with blouse and
skirt. The blouse consists of the
front and back portions and the skirt
is made in one straight piece. The
blouse is gathered and the skirt Is
pleated, and the two are Joined by
means of the belt, while the front Of
the skirt is extended over the lower
edge of the blouse, so making dis

Jewelry From Old Silver

What to do with old silver or gold
is no longer a problem to those whose
over-supply of both, but especially OF
silver, has heretofore been nuisance.
What with bridge prizes, Easter and
Christmas gifts alone, the accumula-
tons become serious, many of the ar
ucles being of little use.
According to Vogue, a clever owner
of this surplus solved the difficulty by
turning her silver over to q well
known jeweller, who had it put into
the melting pot and afterward con-
verted into a handsome single row
neck chain of graded silver beads,
with earrings to correspond, single
ball for each ear, with an inset dia-
mond of fine quality in each ball.
Worn with black gowns the effect is
exceedingly smart. Gold melted down
serves for neck chains or beads.

Velvet pekins are once more re-

Green has been heralded as the
modish color for spring, but the very

Less conspicuous than unusual is
the linen hat, trimmed with linen
flowers with braided petals.
Ottoman weave satin cloth is good
choice that is immensely attractive
and promises to be popular.
The manufacturers evidently be-
lieve that the purples are to have an
other season of strenuous vogue.
The long coat without revers, with
out sleeves and with pear-shaped arm
holes has become quite feature of the

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
TRADE SHOWING A REVIVAL
Premiums Are Being Paid for Prompt
Shipment of Iron and Steel
Orders.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Compa-
ny's review OF trade will say:
Reports from the principal cities
unite in confirming the revival in
trade. The prospect is that the
volume of business will before long
attain such proportions that maximum
ca 9city will be reached and labor
be at a premium. In the iron and
steel trade, this condition, indeed,
seems to be already in sight, and that
the wonderful expansion there is no
mere mushroom growth Is evidenced
by the advance orders for 1910. The
railroads are enjoying such increases
In earnings, and such assurances OF
good crops, that they are buying free
ly Of steel rails and other supplies.
"In the dry goods market jobbing
houses report much better business
than a year ago, and in some conspic-
uous instances the figures are run
ming ahead of the volume of trade in
the corresponding period Of 1906.
Orders for iron and steel are in
creasing so rapidly that mills and fur
naces experience difficulty in making
deliveries, and in some instances pre-
miums are being paid for prompt ship
ment.
Additional orders for shoes are not
coming in very freely and shoe man.
ufacturers do not look for much busi-
ness before the close of this month.
Buyers feel sure that prices at least
will be no higher and consequently
continue to delay making contracts.
The New nEgland factories are pret-
ty fully employed and have a good
volume of business.
"The demand for all kinds of hides
shows an improvement and a fair
amount of business has resulted with
a prospect of larger sales. Leather

Directly in the center front the
foulard was shirred with a single
thread and the shirring drawn taut.
This resulted in a radiation of tiny
folds about the point of shirring, and
suggested an admirable opportunity
for a motif Of some sort. Here it was
a half-moon of velvet, matching the

lower line was normal; the belt or

ITO be lady means, rightly, to be a

dignity, with gracious charm of
manner. A woman whose heart is pure

fering, who sympathizes with those in
trouble, and is ever ready to give that

denial. A lady thinks no work derog-
atory, and no one is deemed too low to
receive courtesy and kindness. She is

Rinu Life Preserver.

On all steamships and many docks
are life preservers of the ring type,
to be thrown to persons struggling In
the water. The proper way to ap-
proach or grasp such a life preserver
In the water, says Popular Mechanics,
Is to take hold OF the side and press
down with all your weight. This
causes the further side to fly up in
the air and 6cWn over the head. The
average person struggling about in
the water would try to lift up the big
life ring and put 1t over his head, thus
causing him to sink deeper.
