AGES OF THE PRESIDEN. HAL CANDIDATES.
:. + + * l. <. * * 1. * .* + 1

In an article in the June American Magazine entitled "Our Next Presi- dent and Some Others" the author Ray Stannard Baker, presents the fol- lowing facts:
 "It is interesting to know that every one of the seven candidates, even including Roosevelt, has been admitted to the bar, and five of them have had successful careers in the Jaw. Two have been judges. No one of them is a business man, and no one, save Mir. Harmon, has had any considerable experience with business affairs, either large or small No one of them is rich man and though several of them, by vlr- ture of their high talents, have been able at times .o earn large incomes, they have all been hard workers. Two or three of them have been re- latively poor men all their lives, lV- ing frugally and devoting themselves unreservedly to public work.
 ''All of the candidates, save Wilson have had lcng experience in public office, and in dealing with public men and public questions. While most of them can be called able politicians no one of them belongs to that ex- treme type known as a machine poll- tician; a boss. There is to the credit of every one of them not a little sound public service.
 "All of the seven save possibly Harmon, are at the very prime of life for national leadership. These are their ages:
 Underwood, 50 years old.
 Roosevelt, 54 years old.
 Taft, 55 years old.
 Wilson, 56 years old.
 La Toilette, 57 years old.
 Clark, 62 years old.
 Harmon, 66 years old.
 ''It is also of curious rather than of important interest that most of the seven were born in states which have long been fertile i1, the produc- ton of presidents and presidential candidates Wilson was born in Virginia, Clark and Underwood in Kentucky, Taft and Harmon in Ohio, and Roosevelt in New York. Only one candidate, La Toilette, comes from wha't may be called new presidential state.'

WAYS THAT ARE NEW OF sERv
 ING MEATS.

Take four to eight outlets of lamb or mutton, trim of the superfluous fat, scrape the bone neatly and dust with nutmeg. celery salt, salt and pep per, and sprinkle with a little chopped onion, add half pint of peas, an ounce of bacon cut small, few new potatoes and a cup of stock. The po- tatoes must be parboiled before add ing to the dish. Cook in a hot oven and serve the chops with a garnish of the potatoes and peas.
 Outlets a Ia Espaenol.-Take four to six outlets prepared as above, dust them with salt and pepper. Have ready cup of boiled rice, mix 1t with plenty of tomato catsup. Put the rice in a greased paper bag and place the outlets on top: place in the oven and cook for thirty minutes in a mod erately hot oven.
 If one is using gas and have only . hot plate, paper bag cookery Is not prohibitive. for with . little ingenuity one may arrange fine oven. A deep skillet with . good tight cover and trivet of a wire dishcloth or any metal which will keep the bag from touching the bottom, may be used. Light the gas and put in the bag and roast as If 1t were an oven.
 Get a pound of lean. chopped veal, less two ounces. which supply with two ounces of suet; season well and mako into a cake. Put into a but tered bag with slices of onion and to- mato laid over the meat and a few pieces of well-houred butter. Bake on the trivet in the skillet.

MILK DISHES. .

Often times milk Is the only food which an invalid and child can take, and when they tire of it the great question Is how can they be nour. ished?
 There are so many ways of disguis- Ing milk in other forms and combin- ing with different foods to make wholesome and nutritious dishes, that every one who has a family to feed should make study of these things.
 Milk that an infant cannot digest is worse than food. A baby should be carefully weighed each week, for 1t is not always possible to detect g slight falling of. When the child shows a decrease in weight the first thing to do is to consult a good phy- sician, and carefully follow his direc- tions in regard to feeding. The milk may be too rich in fat, there may be too much casein, or 1t may be too hard to digest, so that the milk may have to be modified.
 One method of modifying milk is to use the whey, which is made from using rennin tablets. Add this whey to the milk and the casein content Is de. creased with an addition of salts, sugar of milk and minerals, which are necessary for the growth of the child.
 Many babies die each year because of ignorance on the part of the moth CT in regard to their food.
 Milk treated with rennin tablets. sweetened and favored, Is often rel ished by invalids who absolutely re- fuse to take pure milk as food
 Milk Is not a beverage, and should never be taken as such, for large quantities of milk entering the stom- ach at once form hard mass which Is almost impossible to break up. Milk should be taken slowly in sips. so that the gastric juice curdles it in small amounts at time.

fANCIFUL COAT 4 FASHION FEATURE Host of Models in Silk Are Modelled on the Eton or
 Bolero. TANNER SHOWS GAIN New Skirt With Notifications Seems
 to Have Come to
 Stay.
TANNER SHOWS GAIN

New York, May 2S.-There is every indication that the short fanciful little coat in silk of one kind or another is to be an important item of the summer ou;tit this year The Eton, the Eolefo and a host of models more CT less related to these two old friends are already iH evidence, the less closely related coatees showing leaning toward abbreviated mantle CT dolman lines. in keeping with the ubiquitous ta.letas and their bouil- lonees, ruchings and quillings.
 On the whole these little wraps are picturesque and piquant. Per- hals some of them are trifle too odd, but that depends a great deal up- on the woman who wears them.
 Taffeta is perhaps more used than any other kind of silk for this sea- sons little coat, though the soft sa- tins stubbornly retain their populari- ty here as elsewhere in fashions realm. Many of the costumes sent over by the best Parsian designers show fanciful little coats associated with one-piece frocks. In the more conservative models the coat is in the likely to be in contrasting materials; but perhaps more frequently the coat contrasts in color with the frock, though it's color may find an echo in some trimming note in the frock.
 Soft, shapeless little boleros reach ing only to the. waistline, coat sharp ly cut away and fitted in at the waist line. Directoire models with high col lars around sides and back, mantelets crossing fiehuwise in front and either falling to the waist line in the back coat tails of some kind below, the belt; short Prussian coats, fastening down the left front, belted and with short coat skirts all around, sleeve less holeros, straight loose Louis XIV. coats with neck frills, buttons all the way down the straight front, waist coat and the other details belonging to the type-there is apparently no period to which the French makers have not turned for inspiration ill the designing of the coatees, and the var iety extends to color schemes and de- tails.
 Pannier is Gaining Vogue.
 The pannier skirt has evidently come to stay-at least for while and it is the most talked of feature of the present seasons fashion. The success of the pannier skirt depends mainly upon keeping it's fullness at and below the knees. gathering it to one side and draping it irregularly. Some of the fullnes comes from the waist line, more from the length, but there are no set rules to follow. Sometimes there are three side plalts at the waist line on each side. and these drop to the lower edge of the tunic, about one yard. affording ma terial to drape to each side.
 Another model has the plaits in the center, front and back, and the full ness drawn to the left side low down. Such plaits are slightly diagonal, so that the fullness will apparently fall toward the back It plainly shows that all of these variations of pan niers must be of soft fabrics, though

ow BEAUTIFUL it would be

A to live in a world where every being we met unconsciously revealed in look and word and action. in the slight est gesture and movement, the divine in- tention of his creation! It is because lit- tie children do so, for the first brief months of their lives. that they charm us and captivate us. And 1t is in the simplicity of being without dissimulation, and from the depths of our souls, just what we were meant to be. that we become as little children. and with them enter into the kingdom of heaven. The world seems to force us to put on masks and veils to hide what Is most real in us behind some con- ventional caricature of ourselves.

ORIGIN OF HEAD HUNTING.

Head hunting, the greatest passion
OF the Dyak, has it's roots in his court
ship and in his idea of immortality
and filial affection. A Dyak legend
tells that the daughter of their great
ancestor, who resides in heaven near
the evening star, refused to marry
until her betrothed brought her gift
worthy her acceptance.
"The man went into the jungle and
killed deer which he presented to
her. but the fair lady turned away in
disdain He went away and returned
with mias (orangoutang), the great
monkey who haunts the forest. but
this present was not more to her
taste.
"Then in a fit OF despair the lover
went abroad and killed the first man
he met and throwing the victims
head at her feet, exclaimed at the
cruelty she had made him guilty of,
but to his surprise she smiled, and
said that now he had discovered the
only gift worthy of herself"
And to this day Dyak girl will
often refuse to marry man who has
not taken at least one head. Still
more binding upon the Dyak is the
obligation to furnish fresh head to
attend the spirit of any dead member
of his family.

CHELSEA'S MYSTERY HOUSE

One of the most eccentric charac,
tiers in London has just died in the
person Of DR.. John Samuel Phene, in
his ninetieth year. He was reputed
to be very wealthy and the proprietor
of what has been known as the "Mys-
terry House" in Chelsea, big square
building, with a front decorated in BIZ
zarre fashion. From sidewalk level to
sloping roof it is tumble of twisting
columns and quaint, symbolic figures.
There are cuddling cupids, ancient
goddesses, mermaids, imps and all the
rest. The story goes that DR.. Phene
was reconstructing the house for his
wife. but when she died he gave up
the task 1t Is nearly thirty years
now since the house was occupied
and twelve years since it was ar
ranged in its present style. The in
terror is as curious as Its exterior.
Many of the roms are pillared and the
ceilings gilded, frescoed and painted
In gorgeous style, but all are in state
of dilapidation.

SHOT STARTS A sNoWSLIDEI

Caught in a snowslide that was
precipitated by the conclusion follow
ing the discharge of his rifle, David
Davis, thirty-two years old, formerly
a Denver man, was carried 300 feet to
his death down a mountain side near
the Quarries of the Colorado Yule
Marble company, at Marble, Colo.
Davis, who was employed as time
keeper by the marble company, was
out shooting as he was returning to
camp soon before dusk, following a
trail at the base of one OF the Elk
mountain peaks, he caught sight OF
game and took a shot. The concus-
sion started the slide. Davis was in
the immediate path of the avalanche
of snow and rock. Realizing his pre-
dicament, he ran to get beyond the
danger zone. His effort was futile.
The slide was upon him in less than
minute after it started. He was en-
tombed by the swirling mass and car
ried down the rocky mountainside to
his death.

ly novelty. One has just been made
by a Paris matchmaker after Is
months of work by his best me-
chanics. The pearl weighed As grains

watch is liz millimeters. or 45-100ths
