Ban On Old Shoes.

Young folks living along the line
of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway are convinced that it is a
mistake to accuse a corporation or
having no soul. At any rate, that
is the opinion of the tender beings
who are contemplating matrimony.
In the first place, the railroad in
augurated a honeymoon special to
California some time ago. That In
itself was a great bid for popularity
with the brides and bridegrooms to
be. But it was nothing in general
application to the latest move on the
part of the road.
This is nothing more or less than
an order forbidding the throwing of
rice, old shoes, and other wedding
accessories in or about Chicago and
Northwestern trains.
Something simply had to be
done,' said an official of the road.
Enthusiastic friends of the bridal
couples were carrying things to an
extreme, and a check was necessary.
young couples would come down
to the train with large satin bows
tied on the rear of their carriages,
and as they started for the train
terrific storm of rice and old shoes
would break loose. Innocent and in
offensive people who were boarding
the same train, but had not been
guilty of anything, not even mar
rage, would get most of the missiles.
Hence the new order, which will be
enforced in the strictest fashion. -

OF her club. This woman does her
usual duties on time, plans what Is
to be done while she is gone, and on
her return finds everything running
as smoothly as if she had been there.
A club woman does not mean a
woman who neglects the training of
her children, as many think, but it is
her special care to see that their
work becomes as systematic as hers.
Women who are in society have
heard the cry against their slack Of
interest in the home" for so long
that their eyes as we'll as ears have
been opened and their home life is
gladdened.
Then, too, husband appreciates
his wife so much more when he sees
how carefully she plans; and her in
terest in the club does not worry or
fret him, he is also a club member
and although their time is pretty full,
the evenings at home are happily
spent-going to show that the natu-
raj instincts Of woman is to make
home in spite of all other attrac-
lions. And to her children, the moth
er is a constant guide and it is with
pride that they speak of her and glory
with her in her club Work.-New

GATHERING INDIA RUBBER.

With the increase of pneumatic
tired vehicles rubber has become one
of the chief exports of some South
American countries. In his book,
climbing and Explo1 arion il the
Bolivian Andes" Sir Martin Conway
gives an interesting account of the
way in which the gum is procured and
prepared.
The workman, starting out early
in the morning-for when the sun is
high the trees cease to biced-carries
with him number of little tin cups.
Having arrived at the tree, he makes
one or more missions in the bark and
attaches one of the tin cups below
each cut by pressing 1t into the soft
bark. The number of missions that
can safely be made in the tree is
matter upon which there is more or
less disagreement. 1t seems to be
settled, however, that strip of bark
all down the tree, one-third of the
circumference in width, must be left
unbroken, or the tree will bleed to
death.
THE cup collects the drops of sap
that exude from the wound in the
bark. Ultimately the wound becomes
covered by a film or clot of dried sap,
which also is afterward removed and
utilized.
''The workman proceeds from tree
to tree, attaching his cups, till he has
tapped from seventy-ive to 100 trees.
After the hour when the sap ceases to
run the man goes round again, carry
Ing q tin vessel with a cover, into
which he pours the milk that has
:un into the cups.
When he has brought the days
gathering to his hut, he lights a fire
Of palm wood. He places q funnel
over it to collect the smoke, and
hen, taking kind of small wooden
paddle, dips the blade into the liquid,
which covers it with a thin coating.
He row holds the paddle over the fire
in the smoke, turning its faces alter
lately to the heat The coating OF
milk-like sap is thus rapidly smoked
and coagulated into solid, cured rub
Der. The paddle is then dipped
again, and the process repeated until
n large bulb or ball has been formed.
When this has reached a convenient
size, it is slit down the sides and
stripped from the paddle The humps
thus formed are ready for export, and
are the pure rubber of commerce"

Some Curious Wills.

The Irish gentleman who has left
$1,000 to a religious house on con-
dition that his wife enters it and
spends the rest of her life in prayer
Is another example of the quaint
methods by which the dead some
times endeavor to control the living.
1T was blunt farmer who drew
up his will leaving 800 to his
widow. When the lawyer reminded
him that some distinction should be
made in case the lady married again,
he doubled the sum, with the re-
mark that "him as gets her'll de-
serve it."
1t was wealthy German who, f1f-
teen years ago, bequeathed his prop
erty to his six nephews and six
nicees, on the sole condition that
each of the nephews married wom-
an named Antoine and each niece
married man named Anton. The
firstborn of each marriage was to
be named Anton or Antoine, accord
ing to sex. Each marriage was also
to take place on one Of st. Anthonys
days. What happened to the nephews
and nieces is ''wropt in misery in
the office of the German registrar
general.-From Tit-Bits.

Heliotrope is said to be one of the
favorite colors Of Queen Alexandra,
who is noted for her exquisite tasto
in dress. Another is gray.
The vogue of the long coat and
the simultaneous waning of the pet
ticoat's usefulness are compensatory
features of the present day styles.
Many of the new coats show high
Napoleonic collars embroidered in
gold with cuffs to match and the in
eyitable plisse muslin Or lace jabot.
There is something of a tendency
toward severe styles again, but they
will not arrive until the present rage
for furbelows and frills at the neck
has vanished.
Coats are worn as closely fitting
as may be without sloping in at the
waist line. The figure is thus given
the slender, straight appearance that
is so sought after.

- THEN AND NOW
Complete Recovery From Coffee Ills,


About nine years ago my daugh-
ter, from coffee drinking, was on the
verge of nervous prostration," writes
a Louisville lady. "She was confined
for the most part to her home.
When she attempted a trip down
town she was often brought home in
a cab and would be Frustrated for
days afterward.
"On the advice of her physician she
gave up coffee and tea, drank Postum,
and ate Grape-Nuts for breakfast.
She liked Postum from the very
beginning and we soon saw improve
ment. To-day she is in perfect health,
the mother of five children, all Of
whom are fond CT Postum.
She has recovered, is a member
OF three charity organizations and a
club, holding an Office in each. We
give Postum and Grape-NBts the
credit for her recovery"

France have fallen off considerably
since the octroi tax on wine, beer
and cider was abolished in 1900.
Dogs, pianos and other Injuries, be-
lieve, have been levied upon, but have
not produced a sufficient amount OF
money to meet the deficit.
"Now as there is no chance of MAX
ing up the loss by voluntary contri-
buttons from residents, the Parisians
ingeniously hit upon the plan of OBJ
tanning the required funds from for
eigners AS many thousands of peo-
pie visit Paris annually, only small
individual tax would be levied.
MANY summer and winter resorts
have adopted such a tax from time
to time, but it has proved failure.
eff the bill goes through in Paris,
in spite of the storm of opposition
which has been aroused, an infinite
harm will be done this beautiful city.
Travellers pay their taxes at home
and they will not relish an added el-
pense for enjoying the leisures of a
visit to Paris"
LOVE YOUR CHEERFUL FRIENDS.
There is nothing so easy in this
world as getting angry; there is moth
ing so difficult yet sublimely satisfy
ing, as keeping still. The protested
woman of quarrels and tattle reveals
her failings in her face. Her brows
get together in a menacing way, little
frows gather over the top of her nose,
small Jagged lightning-streak Wrin-
kles stretch across her forehead and
there Is tightening of the lips which
Is ominous.
When you are with her the air
seems loaded with disaster. You feel
! you want to stretch your arms and
breathe plenty of fresh breeZes. When
you see her coming toward you flight
is uppermost in your mind; you just
want to run away and hide where she
will never find you.
In this world there is little use OF
quarreling; let the other fellow make
all the noise. Usually when it is over
you find there really has been but lit
tie cause for the uproar. So, unless
i 1t be a matter Of principle, you may
disappear until the atmosphere cools
Whichever way 1t ends, nine cases
out of ten 1t will be satisfactory.
One must greatly admire the Wom-
an who is big enough not to quarrel
even if there be provocation. She
may differ with her opponent, but be-
l. hot Gifforonao che h n c
no right to argue that her Whilom
enemy belongs to a feeble minded
! concern.
Take men and women just as you
accept the sky and stars and the trees
,, and fields-atoms in a great combin-
alton of wonderful mysteries and alb
sorbing truths. You cannot remodel
this one or make that one over, but
you can send them wave of peace
and contentment by appearing quiet
, and digni1ed.
To get into wild argument and dis
cussion, to rail at the world in gen
eral, to squabble with your interiors,
is to be very cheap indeed; even
worse, it is vulgar. Many wars might
have been averted with the soft an
swer'' of gentle parable. Often vic
tory is not worth one-hundredth part
of the resultant loss.
One of the greatest triumpns OF
life comes from being just to all and
educating oneself to dignified silence.
To the victor will belong the cheerful
friends.-New York Sun.
