WOMAN AND HER BARGAINS
Ordinary Daughter of Eve
to Resist.

Women are such curious creatures
They continually see in the shops
things that attract their eyes, and
they have "the price,"
The next morning they gaze at the
purchase in despair.
Although they admire it fully as
much as they did when its charm out
rivaled that of it's companion pieces
on the counter, they wonder how they
are to make use of it.
1t is here that woman with mag.
tnation has the advantage of her less
gifted neighbor; here that practical
woman excels and here that there is
no hope for the woman who, like "our
Missouri cousin" must "be shown"
To one of the Drain builders no
material, however seemingly hopeless.
Is thrown away. When ticketed and
labeled to her memory the sudden
purchase itself is put away until in
running through the shops, in walking
or when visiting. the necessary CON-
bination seems to come. The bit of
stuff is taken out and something use
full OF beautiful is evolved.
If you are the Missouri cousin re.
sist the so-cailed bargain.-Chicagc

Reducing the Hips With roothpieks

one OF the newest and cleverest
flesh reducing methods includes only
toothpicks-and a teacup as it's an.
paratus. Stand close up to the wall
somewhere" directs the exponent of
this method, first making sure that
there is high mantel shelf or other
shelf so far above your head that the
uplifted hand can just touch it. The
toothpicks-5O of them-are to be
thrown on the floor just in front of
the toes, and with one sweep of the
body toothpick is picked up and
placed by a stretching of the arm, in
the teacup which stands on the high
shelf. This motion brings in the
bending of the body at the waist,
which reduces the abdomen, and the
twisting of the torso. which makes the
waist supple and slender and reduces
the hips an inch a week.

Experiments In Breathing.

Scientists of Europe have lately
been conducting experiments in the
art of breathing, and as result have
developed some interesting conclu-
sions. The theory is advanced that
by abnormal control of the breathing
powers. the breath being held for an
unusually long time, person may
ascend into the astral realm" and
commune with things higher up. One
of the scientists claims to have DEM
onstrated that rapid breathing of pure
air acts as an anesthetic and renders
person immune to pain as long as it
is maintained. OF course, after the
rapid inhalations cease the pain will
be felt. BY little training person
may induce sound sleep by deep and
rapid breathing for few minutes.

Antiques,

Speaking of antiques" said friend
at wedding the other night where
there was an antique mirror" we'd
ding gift, reminds me of our visit to
Scheveningen last summer. We were
sitting on the beach watching the
bathers being drawn in and out of the
water in their portable lighthouses,
when l was approached by a small
BOY with postal cards for sale. AS
looked over his stock he eyed me
luizzically. and finally in broken Eng
fish said: America, lady?' 1t was one
Of the many times l am glad to say
that was. and being encouraged by
my response he continued: Live in

ANIMALS POWER OF REASON
7rench Scientist Advances Arguments
to Prove Their Possession Of
Thinking Mind.

Professor Lipfnay, who has made
.ong researches into the habits of do.
nestle animals, in lecture the other
lay at the new Dogs and Cats home
aear Ruell, said that he was convinced
hat animals have certain amount of
reasoning power. He declared that a
simple kind of reasoning and reflex
thought must be admitted to exist
among them.
Cats, more than dogs, he said, learn
20 initiate their masters voices. A
pet canine has different ways of asking
or different things; and their cries are
easily understood. This fact seems to
prove that the animals make an eff.
.ort to raise themselves to the level
of human beings.
1t is also we'll known that dogs,
cats and birds having become famil.
ar friends, understand the meaning OF
certain words without persons ges-
ture. The intelligence of bird he
compares to that OF child. Ii a
strange canary is placed in a cage con-
tanning several others, all will stop
their chipping and singing to look at
The newcomer; and it has often been
observed how one of the birds will
pick feather out of the stranger and
bound away. This is merely to tease
The intruder, as children are seen to
10 when strangers come among them.
AS for animals in circuses which are
so clever. This cleverness Professor
Liplnay attributes to habit rather than
any particular intelligence.

anclEN, CITY OF SHANGHAI,
Where tie Chinese Gentleman Of Lei.,
ure Passes His Time En-.
ioysbIy.

Shanghai affords curious study OF
the combinations of the western in.
auence and the native city, according
to James F. j. Archibald in Burr Nc.
fntosh's Monthly. Along the river va
rious nations have acquired conces.
sions of land and have built according
to the ideas of their governments.
But a little distance back in the city,
surrounded by an old wall, is the an.
ciert city of Shanghai, with its won.
derful tea gardens and teahouses sur
rounding the beautiful little artificial
lakes and ponds. Here the few hours
of recreation spent by the better class
Of Chinese gentlemen are employed in
leisurely gossip over the ceremonious
drinking of tea. In the gardens of
Shanghai the bridges extend over the
little waterways and ponds and from
the rookeries and walls are lotus flow.
ers and wistarias hundreds of years
old. On the walls and on the bridges
are tablets engraved with the wise
sayings of wise men.
The shops of the native quarter are
of endless interest and the hucksters,
peddlers and beggars all form a part
of the curious mixture of the past
and the present. The signs displayed
in front of business houses are an en-
ceedingly interesting study, the signs
in many cases, costing quite as much
as an entire building in which the
business is carried on. Great poles
aanked by beautifully carved wings
gilded and colored, announce the char.
acter of the wares OH exhibition and
sale within. There is undoubtedly a
greater leisure class among the Chi.
nese in Shanghai than in any other
city In China. Here Chinese gentle
men of wealth spend much time in the
teahouses and theaters with favorite
singsong girls, who correspond to the
geisha girls of Japan, who are in re.
atty, the entertainers or actresses
popular to the day and are generally
of high moral standard. They are
usually an exceptionally intelligent
and brilliant class of women

Lightning.

Although there is hidden law un.
derneath. each lightning flash is as
freakish and capricious as cynics say
of women. Some of the incredible
actions of lightning read like mys-
ferrous dreams of Poe. Superstitious
savants still seem to endow it with
kind of intelligence, an intelligence
that ceems midway between the
rough, lumpish intelligence of the
universe and the discriminating in.
