SHARKS BLOW SHIP WHISTLE
Then Sailors Know the Much Hated
Fish Has Been Caught on
Their Hooks.

Sharks are numerous in Magdalena
bay, on the west coast of the Peninsu-
la OF Lower California, says the Wide
World. The monsters at this point
seem to take almost any kind of bait,
and 1t is rarely that a warship Is seen
ct anchor without from one to half
dozen lines dangling from its stern.
Watching shark line is a tedious
business, but 1t is strictly necessary
in order that the fisherman may know
when the monster is hooked, as its
frantic rushes, II allowed to go un-
checked, are pretty sure to cause some
part Of the line, leader, or even part
Of its own anatomy to give way, and
result in its escape.
The old scheme of tying the line
around ones big toe and going to sleep
would probably work all right so far
as rousing the fisherman was con.
cerned, but the sequel might not leave
him in condition to give undivided
attention to landing the prize. To this
end the officers and sailors have hit on
an ingenious plan. Instead of taking
in their lines when the dinner gong
sounds or when for any reason they
are on duty elsewhere, they run a
stout piece Of marlin Irvine from the
sharkline up to the steam whistle.
leaving it for the man eater himself
to announce the event Of his being
hooked by sounding a loot,

FALL PUTS SPINE IN PLACE
Readjusts DlsIocatlon From Which
Woman Suffered for More Than
Thirty Years.

Bridgeville, Del.-After thirty years
of suffering with a dislocated spine,
during which time she spent many
thousand dollars in this country and
in Europe in efforts to obtain relief,
Mrs. Charles Helm Of Glendale, met
with an accident at her home here
few days ago which forced the
spine into place, and her complete
recovery is anticipated.
When a girl Mrs. Helm met with an
accident which slipped the spine out
of place, inficting an injury pro-
nounced incurable by many noted
specialists in this country and abroad
She exhausted a fortune in her eff.
forts to find relief, only recently
spending $4,000 in sanatoriums In
Germany and France.
Mrs. Helm astonished her friends
the other night by presiding over a
meeting of the Ladies' Social club.
Her head was bandanged because Of
decorations received by the fall down
stairs which she claims Jared the
spine into place. Physicians are
mystifed, but believe the member has
been permanently restored to its
proper place.

DEFECTS OF THE LIPS
BEAUTY MARS THAT MUST De
CURED WITHOUT DELAY.
Bad Habits Have Permanent Results
and Eheetual and Absolute Rem
edy Must Be Sought For and
Applied at Once.

It is the curve Of the lips and the
ealiber OF them rather than the mouth
Itself that indicates character and hab-
It's, and they are such important fea-
lures in beauty making and so Bus-
ceptible 10 being moulded that they
should be carefully studied, with a
view TO eliminating or minimizing any
defects.
Perhaps an otherwise beautiful
mouth takes on a scornful twist at
one corner, or It is thicker at one side
than at the other. and then only by dill
lgently practising before a mirror
can the defect be remedied. Press the
offending sldo down into place, and
form the habit Of keeping 1t there At
first It will be difficult, but persist. It
might even be advisable TO bite the lip
at that side, or at least to train into
the bad habit Of COMPRISING the lips,
In order to accomplish what Is desired,
but then must speedily begin the cor
rection Of that habit. Lips that are
too thick betoken coarseness and are
not generally attractive. In some
cases they may be made to appear
thinner by elongating the line from
the nose down. This is done by draw
ing the outsides together-that is, by
drawing the lower one up and the up
per down, and sort of folding them in
literally drawing the outside edges
of them together, as already suggest
ed.
With the aid of the mirror this can
be done without COMPRISING the lips,
which is distressing habit. showing
not necessarily nervousness but lack
OF poise. Molstening the lips frequent
ly with the tongue is another deplor-
able habit and one that is not peculiar
to age, although one of the signs. II
the stomach is kept in condition and
the lips smooth and soft the habit is
easily broken. At any rate 1t must be,
for rough, cracked lips are sufficient
to mar the beauty Of any face. Purs-

the habit fixes itself, so better meth
cd of decreasing the size of the mouth
line is to take the greatest care not to
stretch the natural line. Find out
from the mirror Just how near to be-
ing pursed the lips can come without
wrinkllng and practice keeping them
In that position. learning to do 1t with
out strain or effort and without thrust
Ing the lips out.
If this habit Is formed there will be
also the satisfaction Of knowing that
at least one or two of the lines at the
corners Of the mouth are gradually
growing fainter. The progress might
be helped on by gentle rotary massage
with skin food. Drawing the lips to
one side will, in less time than would
be imagined, result in an unbalanced
effect in the mouth that gives a sinis-
ter expression to the face.

MAKES DAINTY CHAIR COVER
Pretty and Exceedingly Useful Artl-

There seems to be a revival in the
fashion Of what in the old days was
called the antimacassar, and a dainty
cover of this kind for the back of an
arm chair makes very pretty add
ton to it and serves the purpose of
protecting that portion of the chair
which usually needs it most, and in
the case of an old chair it hides that
part which has probably become most
shabby.
We give therefore a sketch of a
very dainty cover carried out in rib
bon and lace. and it is also one that

Roman stripes and Scotch plaids are
promised for fall, and already these
bright effects are creeping into sum-
mer costume. A tailleur worn last
week was of navy blue landsdowne,
with blue buttons and blue corded silk
pipings at the seams of the coat.
Around the hips was knotted a tas-
seled sash of blue and green checked

broidered batiste frocks, worn at
country club affairs, have sashes Of

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Jet buttons are used on smart white
frocks.
As a rule the modish dressy wraps
do not come below the knees.
The tendency is toward wider and
longer sleeves and loose coat styles.
Fancy buckle shapes are plentiful,
the newest being in bow effect with
small tassel ends.
Cut steel buckles are especially
favored this year and appear to ad-
vantage on patent leather, suede and
satin.
Speaking of tassels, one would say
that they are steadily winning and
have taken the place of the pendant
ornaments.
All tones Of yellow, shading from
palest canary to deepest ocher, will
be used extensively to trim suits,
gowns and millinery.
So many summer frocks have a very
high waistline, recalling the Empire
and very becoming for the .fchu treat

ried to the edge Of the fan on either
side and finished of with smart bows.
One tiny tack or a drawing pin will
be quite sufficient to fasten this decor
alive little article in its place upon
the wall by the side Of the dressing
table and a little cotton wool should
be tucked into the extreme end Of the
cylinder to receive the points OF the
pins and prevent them wearing
through the silk. To still further

might be tied up with a smart rosette

Chaloner Is the great-great-grand.
son Of the first John Jacob Aston. He
was a blue-blooded aristocrat, scien-
list, author, millionaire and social lion.
He formerly was the husband OF
Amelie Rives. the authoress. now the
Princess Troubetzkoy.
Chaloner was a devotee of the oc-
cult, studied closely the psychic,
which has since come into better re-
pute, was a Buddhist. vent into
frances and travelled the world over
n search for adventure.
His family wasn't partial to his
yagaries and in, 1897 succeeded In
having him adjudged insane in the
supreme court OF New York and com
mitted to the Bloomingdale asylum by
the testimony Of several experts.
among whom we're DR.. Austin Flint,
the expert of New York, who testified
in all the criminal proceedings
against Thaw.
His sensational escape from the
asylum four years later, after he had
got into secret communication with
his lawyers, despite the regulations Of
the institution, corresponds to that
OF Thaw in many respects.
The escape was planned for months
in advance. Chaloner won the conf
dence of the management by slow de-
grees. In time he was allowed to
leave the grounds unattended. He
learned the train schedules at the
neighboring stations.
Under an assumed name he CORE.
sponded with a friend who often met
him and provided him with money.
Thanksgiving eve, 1900, he walked
| ten miles to a station, boarded a
train and landed in Philadelphia.
There he Immediately placed HIM

slant observation Of a specialist. He
lived under an assumed name ind
was in hiding nearly year. Mean
while, half dozen times, bodies were
found and identified as that Of Chal.
oner, the escaped monomaniac.
After a years treatment in Phila'
delphia Chaloner went to Albemarle
county, Virginia, the home Of his for
mer wife, where he established his
legal residence. Then he appeared in
a Virginia court Aae day with a mass
of expert testimony and had himself
declared legally sane. The courts Of
South Carolina subsequently tried his
case and approved the judgment OF
Virginia.
Thus Chaloner lives today on "Mer'
ry Hills" his Virginia plantation. de-
clared sane by two states and at lib
erty to go any place in the country
save New York. where his status still
Is that Of an escaped lunatic, and
where his family waits to have him
cast back into an asylum cell.
For sixteen years he has fought
with extraordinary cunning and the
power of his great wealth in almost
every court in the country to estab
lish his mental integrity. A suit fol

by a courts committee in New York
