NEWEST COLOR IN VELVET
Peculiar Shade of Green Is Called
"Absinthe" by Those Who Have
Designed Ii.

A peculiar greenish yellow shade,
not olive and not tan, is now much
fancied for formal afternoon frocks
for bridge, reception or luncheon
wear. A costume of this sort has just
been finished for a bride of the month
Absinthe chiffon velvet is the mate
rial and the suit includes a graceful
draped skirt and the most coquettish
of coats short enough at the front to
reveal the black satin draped girdIe
but falling at the back in long tails
to the knee These tails slope grad
ually from the double-breasted front
and give the coat a graceful cutaway
effect, viewed from the side Enor-
nous revers Of the velvet are gath
cred at the top into turnover Robes
pierre collar of black velvet and
hang to the waistline over the coat
front. The revers and collar open in
a deep V.
The skirt has a wide front and
back panels hanging perfectly
straight, the sides being caught up
below the hips into a soft transverse
drapery. To match this absinthe vel
vet costume there are patent leather
boots with buttoned tops of pale tan
cloth and very curved French heels.
and a hat of cream white moire silk
banded with mink and having one
green and one gold quill.

Before retiring to rest, hansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozily tucked into
the other sleeping-bag. When he
awoke in the morning, almost numb
with cold. he observed that the bag
in which he had tied up the Lapland-

them. He found the three men fast

they had scraped together as a pro-

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Pineapple is good for indigestion,
the juice containing a digestive fluid
similar to pepsin.
If you wish to preserve your teeth
take all medicines containing acids
through a glass tube.
Almond oil and lanolin in equal
parts rubbed into the eyebrows will
stimulate their growth.
For a greasy, oily skin. put some
astringent, a little alcohol or toilet
vinegar, into the wash water.
Honey is excellent in nearly all
throat and lung affections. For a
sharp tickling throat cough a tea
spoonful taken every few moments
will quickly alIay the irritation.
The habit of biting the nails may be
conquered by will power in an older
person, but with children cut the nails
very close and dip the ends of the
fingers in quinine or a little extract
OF quassia.

CORAL MADE ROADS
lava, Hollands Oldest Colony,
Has Finest Highways in East.
Old Governor General Forced Wealthy
Chinaman to Construct One of
Main Roads-MateriaI Ia
ken From Sea.

The Hague, Northumberland is
famed for its excellent roads. and
when colonies were acquired one OF
the first tasks in those regions was
the laying out of highways. Java,
which is one of the Oldest OF Hol-
lands colonies, is a model to other
eastern countries in the facilities OF
its communications, and not year
passes but that more miles of road
way are constructed. Every three or
every five years, as conditions may
require, the existing roads are height
ened up anew, and they are constant
ly kept in the best repair. By these
periodical heightenings many OF the
roads that run through the valleys
have come to resemble the dikes OF
the old fatherland. The tendency has
been to plane away unevenness, to
make the incIines easy and gradual;
in fact. to do away as much as posi-
BILE with the inconvenience Of
mountainous country, to which the
jewellers in the Netherlands at home
were not accustomed.
AS every inch of Java is arabic
land, there were no stone quarries
from which material for the roadways
could be deived and so other means
had to be resorted to.
It was the ocean, or, rather, the
very tiny denizens of the deep, that
furnished the necessary material
Java is surrounded by coral reefs,
which the minute creatures have pa
tiently been building up for untold
ages. 1t is Of this coral, the remains
of the dead and gone millions Of ami
maIculae, that the roads are made.
The Javanese go out in their boats
to the reefs and there they stand the
whole day, half submerged in the wa
ter, breaking up the coral. When the
boat is filled with pieces of convent
ent size it is rowed or sailed ashore
and the coral is spread on the roads
that require it. Mixed with the soil,
it makes the best imaginable material,
being strong and easy for traffic. In
former years the natives were COM
PEELED to do this work as sort of I'M
remunerated service to the govern
ment. Later on, when the ideas Of
serfdom began to change, the natives
were paid for their work and were
only obliged to give a few days OF
every month of their time to the gov
eminent. Then, and not so very long
ago, the compulsory service was abol-
ished altogether. Nowadays the roads
are mostly kept in repair by the con-
victs-"the chain gangi as they are
called in India.
The very first road built at the COM
mand of the Dutch in India was that
from Batavia to Samarang, stretching
just half the length of Java. The IA
nous Jan Peterson Coen was then

governor general. That he was quite
a despot can be gathered from the
way in which he contrived to get this
great work done without it's costing
a penny to the high and mighty Dutch
East India company, which then held
sway Even in those early days the
Chinese had found their way to Java
and had also found plenteous means
of enriching themselves there. One
Chinaman was known to be the
weaIthiest man in Batavia Jan Pie
terson Coen called him into his
doughty presence. When he arrived,
pale and trembling, the governor
said: "Chinaman, I want a good road
to be built from Batavia to Samarang,
and you must build it! You must
build it at your own cost, and it must
be well done, too! If you do not do
what l tell you 1 will have your head
struck OF"
No protestation, no lamentation of
the wealthy Chinese could move him
The work had to be done, or the death
penalty would have to be paid. This
the unfortunate possessor Of untold
wealth realized. He loved his money
dearly, but he valued his life even
more; so he stopped lamenting and
set about his task. A whole army of
coolies were set 20 work and in an in
credibly short time splendid high
way united Batavia and Samarang.
The Chinaman's head remained on his
shoulders, and 1t is believed he soon
found divers ways of recouping for
his loss of gold, and Java was the
better of for fine road that had not
cost the government a penny.
But that happened in the long ago.
Modern governments are debarred
from taking any such drastic meas
ures to enforce the institution Of pub
lie utilities
