Miss Clark Triumphs
When Senate Picks Gift.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-It was a
genuine triumph for the Girl of the
Democracy" when Theodore B. Starr.
Inc, Of Fifth avenue at Forty seventh
street, were notified that the Senate
wanted the rejected House gift for
Miss Jessie Wilson's wedding pres
emit
Whether or not It was the gallan-
try of the Senate that made them
select the beautiful silver service
which Genevieve Clark, daughter of
the Speaker had chosen as ennis
sary for the House of Representa-
tives, and which they turned down
in favor of a diamond pendant and
chain, the fact remains that that
august body looked no further after
they had seen the gift.
This service was chosen by Miss
Clark because 1t was pure Colonial
in design-absolutely American
Il think 1t would be splendid to
have an American made and an
American designed service" Miss
Clark said when she made the selec-
ton, "for 1t goes to the daughter of
a great Democrat and it comes from
representatives of a great democ-
racy."
Inc service consists OF an engraved
tea set and waiter. four candlesticks,
an ice cream platter and two large
compotieres.
When Miss Wilson, accompanied
by her mother, visited New York re-
Gently they saw and greatly admired
the tea service, and as it matches a
table service presented to Miss Will
son by Mrs Sayre, the bridegroom s
mother it seemed particularly APP
propriate that 1t should be the gift
from the Senate.
The huge waiter on which the
handsome service stands will be en-
graved with a suitable presentation
inscription which the Senate will
send on to the jewelers..

Spirits for Rheumatism

The use of spirits in the treatment of
rheumatism has proved an innovation
among the medical profession When
mixed with certain other ingredients
and taken properly it is said to be an
almost infallible cure for rheumatism
and backache Here Is the formula:
From your druggist get one ounce of
Toris compound Qn original sealed
PACKAGE and one ounce of syrup of
Sarsaparilla compound. Take these
two ingredients home and put them
into a half pint of good whisky. Shake
the bottle and take a tablespoonful be-
fore each meal and at bedtime" Re-
suits come Immediately If your drug
gist does not have Toris compound in
stock, he will get il in a few hours
from his wholesale house. Don't be
influenced to take some patent medi-
cine instead of this. Insist on having
the genuine Toris compound in the
original one ounce sealed yellow pack
age. Published by ehe Globe Phar-
maceutical laboratories Of Chicago.

Cretans Had "Merry Widow
Hats 1000 Years Ago, Says
Returning Antiquarian.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22,-Following
fast on the discovery that hobble
skirts were in vogue in ancient Egypt
comes the announcement that hoop
skirts were worn by the Cretans and
that Merry Widow" hats won the
eyes Of the men Of Philistia centuries
ago.
All this interesting information has
just come to light from Professor
Camden NJ. Cohern, Phi. D., of Allie
gheny College Meadville, Pa, who
has just returned from Pompeii and
from the excavations going on at
Ostia, Egypt.
The professor in his statement to
the Egypt Exploration Society says:
The public will be interested to
know that the hobble skirt, which
has stirred up the ire of Professor
+. A. Parsons, of New York, the
art critic on dress, has just been
found in Egypt.
Found in Excavations.
While exploring there this sum
mer came the interesting infOr-
nation that the hobble skirt had
been found in the excavations 60
ing on in Egypt No doubt they
first appeared in that country be-
fore the exodus of the Israelites.
Then when the pictures of the
Cretans were dug up, you will find
upon the persons hoop skirts, like
those worn by our grandmothers.
Then to top the climax of these
finds the Merry Widow" hat has
been run across in the eXcava-
tons going on near the homes of
the ancient Philistines.
But at Pompeii there has been
uncovered the finest street, just
like Broadway, New York, show
ing splendid rows of houses. each
with a balcony, covered with tile
of modern form, color and shape
and in perfect state of preserva-
ton.

sent to the White House.
Following reproductions Of the
painting, which depicts two nude tig-

the opponents of the nude in art, "
and protests were filed with President
Cleveland. then the occupant OF the

Vanity Boxes Used
By Ancient Greeks
Helen of Troy Probably Carried Pow,
der Box and Bronze Mirror,
Says Professor.

SALT LAKE CITY. Nov. 22.--"Girls,
do you know that vanity boxes were
used 300 years ago?" was the start
ling question put by Dean Byron
Cummings, of the University Of Utah
to the young women in the archae-
ology class.
Back in 1900 b. c. the Greek
women had powder boxes and gold
powder Jars something like the ones
used now. They also had tin ones
which they probably carried with
them, much as the girls that We
know now carry vanity boxes. Also
1t is probable that they carried with
them small bronze mirrors-there is
no telling"
