Petition the Duma.

The Jewish women of Russia have
presented their first petition to the
Duma. In this petition they beg that
legislation be enacted to prevent hus-
bands from sending their wives a bill
of divorce by messenger. AS things
are now a Hebrew husband can d.
vorce his wife, with the consent Of the
rabbi, by giving her bill of divorce
ment. If the wife does not wish to
be divorced she can refuse to take the
paper, and 1t does not become valid
without her acceptance. When the
bill is sent by a messenger the wife,
not knowing what the paper is, has
no means of protecting herself.-New

Ancient Civilization.

The ancient pueblos of Arizona and
New Mexico have been explored and
their rich and varied contents made
known to the world through the con-
tributions Of Charles F. Lummfs,
George L. Cole, George Wharton
James and others. That very re-
markable civilization existed in that
region many centuries before Column
bus discovered a new world, and per-
haps before the altars and pyramids
of ancient Mexico and Yucatan were
erected, seems highly probable. A
department Of local prehistoric re-
search has been organized in the
University of Southern California and
will be conducted under the manage
ment of Prof. Hector Alliott.-Los

Washing Compound.

Into half gallon of water shave a
pound bar of good laundry soap and
boil in large kettle until dissolved.
Remove from the fire and before it
cools add one-half pint of gasoline.
This will cause it to foam up and fill
the kettle. Let stand until cooled off.
This compound is to be added to hot
water to wash the clothes. 1t softens
the water, loosens the dirt, and whi-
tens the clothes without the least in
jury to the most delicate fabric. Some
of the compound may also be used in
the boiler. In using the gasoline be
sure not to mix it anywhere near the
fire.-Indiana Farmer.

Moyen age coats will be worn by
children.
Whole coats are made of the tail
less ermine.
Purple silk stockings are one of the
seasons novelties.
Much of the trimming of the hat
now goes at the back.
Net forms the foundations of near
ly all the new trimmings.
The so-called Egyptian ribbons that
look like temple columns, trim many
of the handsomest turbans.
Bunches of short plumes are being
used more than the single long ones
so much in vogue last season.
A toque of chamois-colored velvet,
trimmed with black wings, is decided
ly smart, and unusual as well.
Net boleros, in white and black,
elaborately embroidered, are most
serviceable as toilet accessory.
It is a yelled season, and these
short lengths of wells are an import
ant accessory to the modern outfit.
Plain meshes are always acceptable
and every woman should number one
or two of this variety in her outfit.
Two new names that go with tones
that are charmingly soft and becom-

Net boleros, in white and black,
elaborately embroidered, are most
serviceable as toilette accessory.
The flower of fashion this season
is the Bermuda lily. 1t is in white or
pink and is grown small or large.
Moire waists of the Gibson style
are holding their favor. They have
silk buttons covered with the silk.
In the monthly expenditure of the
average well-dressed woman the
money for veilings will be no small
item.
A mixture of silver and gold in
trimming bands or garniture is now
more favored than gold or silver
alone.
The pleated walking skirt is a de-
servedly popular model, and most
practical one, and it has now many
devotees.
Marabout or malines, massed about
the huge wings on the large cavalier
hats is distinctive note of the fall
millinery.
Hair bands of all kinds prevail,
some single and of considerable
width, and some double, like the
Greek fillet.
Made wells, decorated with ornate
designs, are more expensive, but the
finished style of these cannot be sup
piled by other wells.
Self-toned wells in colors to match
the costume are much worn, and of
course black and white meshes are
always in good taste.

Make Home Happy.

Make the home life as happy as
you can for the children. Many a
boy goes astray, not through lack of
care and training, but because home
life is not made as happy as it might
be. Children, while they are young
and impressionable, should be sur
rounded with happiness. 1t is as es-
sential to their well being as sunshine
is to flowers. If, as they grow up,
they find that happiness is not to be
had at home, they soon learn to look
for it elsewhere e.-Indianapolis News.

A Woman's Time to Dress.

"a correctly gowned woman can
pot dress herself in less than one
hour and a half"
Nine. Marguerite Sylvia. the prima
donna, thus sets the feminine sarto-
rial time with finality.
A well groomed woman allows:
Fifteen minutes for bath.
Ten minutes to adjust corsets and
underwear.
Fifteen minutes to go over the face
with a light massage and powder.
Fifteen minutes at least to arrange
the hair.
Ten minutes to adjust the hat.
Twenty-Five minutes, being all that
is left, in which to arrange the outer
costume.
"Of course" said Nine. Sylvia,
these are the necessities of wom-
ans toilet. She must allow, at least,
every other morning:
Thirty minutes for a manicure.
"Forty-five minutes for waving the
hair.
'An hour for thorough massage.
"For myself, am never late. How
ever, am afraid that the time con-
slider necessary for dressing would
cause the learned Chicago Judge to
bless fate that never had led him
to my drawing room to cool his

Hair Brushing.

1t Is useless to resolve to brush the
hair thoroughly every night and then
to neglect 1t four nights out of seven.
Procure good stiff bristled brush,
sturdy enough to penetrate through
to the head. Brush the hair effectu-
ally as whole, then separate the
tresses into strands to make the
brushing easier and more complete,
and thoroughly brush every one of
the strands from its roots to its tips.
When the hair has been brushed in
this way 1t will appear more abund-
ant than 1t really is.-Woman's Life.

The stomach Cannot Rest.

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth. the stomach. lower stomach. liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think Of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes. or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatiu. etc. do not
rest the stomach. they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and

tain many vegetable tonics and stimulauts
