BEAUTY NO LONGER A MARVEL
Time Has Conc Ry When World
Stopped to Wonder at Lovell-
ness of Women.

Within the last week two well-known,
beautiful, rich society girls, both
young. both popular. with all doors to
which society has the key flung open
before them, have elected to go into an
East End hospital and scrub floors for
pauper invalids. Perhaps they will
not stick to it; the important thing is
that they want to try it.
The fact Is that we are no longer
sufficiently satisfied with beauty to
think woman has justified herself by
being good to look at. Thirty or forty
years ago people came from every
part Of the world to see Georgiana
Lady Dudley, Mrs. Langtry and Mrs.
Cornwallis-West walk in the park. At
an earlier date the beautiful Cummings
caused riots, so great was the anxiety
to see them. Anne of Austria drew
people from the most inaccessible cor
ners of what was then very fnacces-
sible world, who made their way with
year-long journeys to Paris, caught a
glimpse Of her entering her carriage
and went home again saying they had
seen loneliness itself. Today we
would not cross the road to see pref
ty woman, possibly because there are
so many of them. Indeed beautiful
women of today are more admired by
women than by men. But in any case
beauty as a profession is dead.--Lon-
don Truth.

SAW HIS DUTY POINTED WT
Advertisement Of John Ware Gave
Valuable Idea to the Travelling
Salesman. t

while working through Pennsyl-
vania recently saw an advertisement
that ought to bring relief to few dis
tressed SOULS" said> the travelling
salesman. 1T headed the personal col
umn and said:
"'Be 1t hereby known to all my cor
respondents that have this. day de-
stroyed all letters they would wish to
be destroyed. JOHN WARE
THAT notice was so extraordinary
that stopped over for late train and
called on John Ware. He was genial
old man and willing to talk. He said
he was person to whom people vol
UNFAIRLY confided secrets; that many
persons in bursts of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said, Destroy
this sometimes they didn't. Anyhow,
John Ware had kept most Of those in
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting old he had seen what
harm might result from those letters
falling into strange and INSCRIPTIONS
hands, and he had burned them and
had taken that novel way Of notifying
his correspondents that they were
safe.
THAT talk with John Ware set me
thinking. The first thing I did when I
got back to New York was to burn q
batch Of letters" Tbs 81

Sneezina az an Omen.

The only attention we pay to a
sneeze at the present day is to en-
deavor to get rid Of the chill which
causes it; but sneeze in the days OF
old Greece was a matter of great con.
Germ and import.
There was then god Of sneezing
and great undertakings would even
be abandoned II man sneezed at an
inappropriate moment, the jact being
looked upon as the oracle Of the god
A sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as fortunate
sign, but between noon and midnight
it betokened great, misfortune. To
sneeze to your right was lucky; to
the left unlucky. Two or four sneezes
were lucky, one or three very un
lucky and any undertaking in hand
should If possible be abandoned; more
than four sneezes did not count.
There is q saying in many parts OF
England today: "Once a wish, twice
kiss, three times a letter. four times
something better" If people sneezed
together it was q good sign. particu'
larly II they happened to be discuss
ing business.

SEAS PERIL EYER PRESENT
Maneuvers and Sham Battles Cannot
h Be Held Without the Element
Of Danger.

1t is the great distinction,of the sea
that its peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade of the naval service seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he Is always face to face with
'the real thing" A mistake OF any
sort, a pardonable miscalculation, a
momentary failure of nerve or atten.
ton, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit of
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manii-
ness, resourcefulness and self.control.
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
its own, as the sad tale OF previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is OF
a nature to make a profound impress
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number Of submarines in com.
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out OF all proportion greater than
their comrades In other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prer0gative of the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
tion of naval character, and are a
pledge, in no small degree, of the Sc
curity upon which as nation we re-
pose.

MAKE Wl6s Of sPUN GLASS
Natural HAIR Becoming searee, Deal
ere In Artificial Product Arc
54 Driven to Extremitles.

No one outside the artificial hair
business knows the difficulty that
merchants in hair-goods have expert
enced in getting material of sufficient
quality-especially in braids-at any
thing like the prices which most peo-
pie are willing to pay. Many coun-
tries, indeed, place such restrictions
on wig-makers, owing to hygienic rea-
sons, that natural hair is becoming
more and more rare.
In certain parts Of France the ex-
pedient was resorted to of making
wigs from certain hbrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served to furnish mate
rial for rugs and blankets. BY split
ting the fibers very fine and treating
them chemically, it was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor In
yolyed the asking Of prices that
were almost prohibitive. Moreover,
complaints were made that the substi.
tute was not satisfactory. Horsehair
was treated to like process Of d.
vision and Frightening, but the imita-
ton. except for the very poor class Of
trade, signally failed. Now, thanks to
a series Of experiments, it has been
found possible to utilize spun crystal
,, for the purpose, reducing it to any
shade which may be desired and to
any degree OF fnenes. Indeed, the
resemblance to human hair Is said to
| be all but absolute. The new product
has the advantage, moreover, OF
weighing very little. and hair made
Of glass presents an appearance OF
| luster and is, above all, thoroughly
hygienic. Weekly.

WHY "vIcToRY" WAS DUSTY
Housemaid Feared Further Damage

"A New York woman engaged new

Immediately delighted at the exhibit
tibn OF the new servants efficiency.
Norah waited on the table with per-
feet mastery; she answered the front
doorbell with matchless grace; she
never once grumbled when told that
she must wear a cap; her busting was
marvel of orderliness.
But the mistress Of the apartment
was astonished, when the new maid
had been in the house about week,
to find that her cherished "Victory OF
Samothrace" was covered with dust.
The beautiful headless body stood
gray and unlovely on its pedestal, and
tho s''Victory's" owner called Norah to
see what the matter might be.
.T can't understand this, Norah,"
she said. Everything else Is kept
50 spotless. How have you happened
to neglect the little statue. Have you
busted it at all ?"
Norah admitted that she had not,
and said no more.
"But why?" the mistress persisted.
'"Why?'' And then, miserably, the
maid owned up. IS

Goethe's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from BODIES
book on Goethe, appears in a Paris
contemporary. In August, 1873, >Goe'
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care OF DR..
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Chafles, his domestic. to
place bottle of red wine and glass
in each Of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink glass OF wine
When he had nearly emptied the bot,
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah." said
Goethe, "you are come. Do you know
it Is my birthday" mo-" said the
doctor, at is not your birthday. It
falls tomorrow"
Only the production Of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to a strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth Of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and, after long pause, turn.
ing to the doctor, said: Then have
got drunk for nothing"

Theory and Experiment

Theory and experiment must go
hand in hand, and much depends on
one as much as on the other. not
merely on its accuracy but also upon
it's nature. Hundreds of experiments
may be made, which, however, not.
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march Of human progress in the right
direction; they may Of course in
ages count for much, but the chief
