Worlds Largest Ice Cave.


The largest ice cave IN the world is
in the Dachstein mountains of Aus
trfa. 1t is one of a group of grottoes
discovered not yet thoroughly ex-
plOred. The ice cave, because OF its
unique character, has. however, been
given more attention than the others.
This latter is $500 feet long and there
are some enormous and otherwise re-
markable ice formations. It is rare
occasion indeed when ice is not MAX
ing in this cave, and a cessation takes
place only when a prolonged spell OF
warm rain penetrates into these
depths, when the ice shows a slight
tendency to melt The cave consists
of one great hall with icy walls and
ice dome covered with grotesque
forms. One of these halls, is BOG feet
in length, 231 feet in width and 116
feet in height, which is notable for
the remarkable formations, but the
largest hall is known as King Arthurs
dome, which Is Geo feet long, $50 feet
wide and 100 feet high. There is an
underground river of ice passing
through the cave and at its foot is a
lake. Some rocks found in tho river
bear indications of having been
brought down to these depths from
the central Alps.

Bags Of Silk and Beads.

A new sort of handbag is shown for
use with street suits. 1t is made
of silk and beads, and at first sight
seems too fragile for street wear. But
it proves to be useful and durable, as
we'll as very attractive.
These bags are made in several
shapes, but all are small and the col
ors are generally in neutral tones.
One bag of gray is six-sided, each
panel or side ending in a point. The
six points are joined to form the tip
of the bag Another bag of soft, dull
yellow Is four-sided, and the four sides
are cut diagonally at the bottom and
mitered together. Still other bags
have three or two sides
All of them have chain handles of
gold or silver beads, and are decorated
with a two-inch band of the beads ap-
piled about half way from the top to
the bottom. Below this band hangs a
two or three inch fringe of beads, gold
and silver used together.

NUTMEG AS A PROPHYLACTIC
Many EngIishmen Are Taking Up an
Ancient OLD American Rheu-
matism Preventive.

LondOn-An extraordinary alleged
"cure" for rheumatism is being talked
of here The cult of nutmeg carrying
as a sort of charm against the disease
has increased rapidly of late.
For a good many years" writes a
clubman to the Daily Mirror, "a few
people have been carrying nutmegs as
q kind Of protection against rheuma-
tism, and now many others are follow
/ ing their example. Consequently there
has been an increased demand for
nutmegs, although the price of them
has not gone up so far. Those who
have adopted the cult declare that,
however severely they suffered from
rheumatism before, all traces Of the
trouble ceased as soon as they began
to wear the charm and that they new
er have any recurrence of the COM
plant so long as they continue to car
~ a nutmeg on their person. Some
have the nut attached 10 the watch
chain by gold clasp and keep it con-
stantly in the watch pocket; others in
neat leather receptacles, which are be-
up-to-date Bond street shops.
"Women-and there are many who
have caught the nutmeg-wearing craze
often have the aromatic charm fixed
in a gold or platinum claw and sus-
pended by light chain, from the waist
or garter"
A Church of England dignitary who
has worn a nutmeg for many years,
said that the belief In the efficiency OF
the nut TO cure and prevent Theuma-
tism was no mere superstition. He at
tributed it's power to the carminative
properties of the oils contained in the
kernel-properties which from time
immemorial have been known to the
natives Of the Banda islands, whence
come nutmegs.
A London doctor was very skeptical.
ut Is evidently an old fetish revived"
he said. 1t is absurd to imagine that
by carrying a nutmeg you can ward
off rheumatism. You might as well
carry a stone and put your belief in
that. Still, the nutmeg has certain
properties as an antidote to rheuma-
tism. Mixed with rum, its essential
oils make liniment that have known
used with success In what is called
tropical sore throat-a form OF tropical
rheumatism"
The representative of a firm of spice
merchants said that he had heard of
the belief in the nutmeg "antidOte."
AS a matter Of fact" he said, "a
leading member Of our firm carries a
nutmeg about with him and swears by
it as a 'warder-off' of rheumatism"
No New Englander needs TO be re-
minded that the nutmeg as a rheuma-
tism prophylactic has been venerated
for centuries in the Eastern United
States.

Timely Tips.

Lack Of sleep ages a woman possibly
more than anything else. Most wom-
en- who are inclined to be nervous re-
quire from eight to nine hours. Six
or seven hours of rest suffice for 9th
ers. The hours before midnight con-
tain the magic wherein beauty is dis
pensed treely-one hour before twelve
will do more good than two afterward.
A systematic brushing of the hair
every night before retiring will do
much toward keeping both scalp and
hair clean. The brushing stimulates
the roots to pour out their oil and
makes the hair lustrous.
Vaseline applied to the eyebrows at
night will stimulate the growth of
them. 1t is a good thing to keep a
tiny eyebrow brush and use it every
day, training the hair carefully. The
brushing stimulates the hair roots.

festoons of small pearl beads. This
also fastens at the back with a rhine
stone bar slide. These collars are ex-
tensively used for evening and for

FITCH fur, and especially light Fitch,
i is so much liked that it is getting
very scarce. 1t is used as a trimming
in collars and cuffs; as a border on
velvet or plush muffs and in small
neckpieces, more frequently than in
regular sets. 1t is very soft and its
colOring is especially effective with
coats made of velvet. or satin and vel
vet brocade.
Those who can indulge themselves
in expensive novelties in fur sets may
consider the very handsome scarf and
muff of Fitch shown in the picture
The scarf is a new design, terminating
where it fastens at the neck in three
skins which provide a splendid pro-
lection for the throat. A single skin
encircles the neck and another falls
over the shoulder and down the back.
A big, soft bow of Lyons velvet pro-
vides a new and extremely smart
touch where the scarf is fastened over
the shoulder. The broad expanse Of
light yellow at the front of the scarf
needs this touch Of black in addition
to the stripe and scattered touches of
black in the fur itself.

d week elapses without its fall of fresh
snow, gives place with startling rapid
ity to the olive groves and vineyards
Of the valley 5000 feet below Here
the difference of a few thousand feet
produces a richness of variety that
could only be experienced by the ira
verse Of thousands of miles on the
more level parts Of the world. 1t is
this diversity that gives Aosta its par
ticular charm. There is probably not
another town in Europe of equal i'm
pOrtance that is so closely overshad-
owed by great peaks. To this day il
remains, as Pliny termed it, the last
town in Italy on the northwest; and it
is doubtless due to this seclUsion that
it has so completely maintained the
character given to it by it's Roman
builders. To the traveller fresh de-
seconded from the icy wastes above,
the quaint mixture of Roman and
medieval antiquities with the modern
life OF the town provides the most
agreeable of contrasts. Picturesque
street vistas greet him at every turn;
at every step he is reminded of the
doings of a bygOne age. Here is
massive Roman bridge half sunken in
the ground, which once spanned a
tributary river that has long since left
its ancient channel Near by is
street crucifix reared close by an arch
way beneath the houses through which
pass peasants, priests and soldiers to
the surrounding villages. Few pass
the shrine without making salutation;
Aostans in general are particularly de-
vout as compared with the natives of
other Italian towns. On market days
the street is traversed by peasants of
the valley, gay with many-colored
scarves, bringing in their produce in
their native carts and on the backs
of asses. These animals are larger
than the common gray species. dark
in color and often quite handsome
beasts. A few yards distant is the
Honorary Arch of Augustus and the
massive Roman walls, 81 feet in
height, which to this day still exist in
their entire circuit. Blind men and
the weather-worn masonry of the
eastern gate, the Porta Praetoria, keep
ing up continuous wall, calling upon
passers-by to regard them in Their
pitiful loss of sight and health and in.

made the creatures assume. They re-

without movement of any kind, for
from one to four and a half hours;
and when their catalepsy passed. they
showed no signs of muscular fatigue.
1t should be added that these stick
insects feed at night, On the foliage
of the plants which they frequent. AS
Professor Schmidt points out, their
cataleptic state may be regarded as
an accommodation to a highly de-
veloped protective resemblance. The

loops and a long single hanging end.
A fiat folded band Is placed at the
base of the loops. Without any deco
ration it is an all-round useful girdle,
ready to add a finishing touch to al
most any gown. When more elabora-
ton is needed, 1t is decorated with
small roses and foliage made of rib
bon or fabric, and tackled to the base
OF the loops and near the bottom of
the hanging end.
BY allowing extra length to the cir.
die. the waist line may be managed in
several ways. The middle front may
be brought up to the bust, or the CIR
die may disappear under the drapery
of the waist at one side and reappear
at the back. In fact, the girdle is sim
ply to be managed as length of rib
bon to be used In decorating the
bodice without regard to its encircling
the waist. By keeping this in mind
one may achieve fashionable effect
