RussIa's Huntlno Bao.

The hunting season in Russia has
come to an end, and the following
particulars, says a st. Petersburg
correspondent, relate to the booty,
,Which has far surpassed that Of the
preceding year.
The largest number of animals
killed are squirrels, which head the
list with 4,525,3OO victims. The most
sought after fur Is of course black
sable, of which 1880 were caught
Last year clear profit of 2,5OO,OO

notion was quite sudden, too. She
even interrupted John to say so, apro-

stairs as we went up l remembered
afterward that he looked puzzled and

Burrows from thN stairs.

He glanced up to where 10 and John
Crowninshield were disappearing into
the gallery, and apropos of nothing
he seized my hand and pressed 1t to
his lips.
Inside the picture gallery was
Thomas, the footman about whom
Hap had asked Burrows. When 10
and John Crowninshield entered they
found him standing in front of the
Velasquez, staring at 1t oddly. He
should have been below, of course.
Upon our entrance he turned and
stalked out Hap looked after him
with a pucker At perplexity in his
forehead.
10 was surprised at the size of the
gallery, just as had been. She hadn't
expected it. She walked the length
of the room, thea turned back.
Are all these pictures originals?"
she asked
NO" John answered her. "A few

she suggested, and walked the length
of the gallery again.

An attractive design for a six
roomed house of one and a half sto-
ries. comprising many desirable feat
ures, is shown in the accompanying
perspective and plans. It is not very
large; but fortunately, small low-cost
houses often have advantages over
larger ones. Three of these advan-
tages are light, sunshine, and atr. In
q small house, opposite windows are
necessarily near together; and the
light from one often crosses that OF
another, although they may be in diff
ferent rooms. Sunshine, of course,
carries light, and it carries iHe-giving
properties besides. Light, airy houses
are almost always healthful and cheer
full. In crowded cities, houses offer
ing such advantages are always occu-
pied. while dark, dismal houses often
go begging for tenants. In this design
there are three rooms downstairs and
three rooms upstairs, and they are
arranged to provide a great deal Of
comfort and convenience.
When man starts to build house,
he usually has some particular ideas
in mind that he wishes to have
worked into the plan. Very often
these are not practical. They have
been extracted, as a general thing,
from some other plan, and cannot well

COCA COLA HABIT, A cAosT.

We have all heard OF ghosts, but none
of us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "hends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands OF
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, etc, say that
they have never seen case where the
use of Coca-Cola has 80 fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute .
habit in the true sense of the word. Al.
though millions Of glasses Of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment Of drug habits,
The Coca-Cola habit Is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola FIRST because
they see It advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink 1t
when they can get 1t and cententedly
do without 1t when they can't get 1t.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of real drug fiend when deprived Of
his drug, IL you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
'habit-forming" drugs.-Adv.

HANDS NEED NOT BE ROUGH
Even the. Busiest Of Housewives Cat
Find Time for This Simple Beau
tifying Process.

Here are some useful hints, which,
If followed, will be found to produce
excellent results In keeping the hands
in good condition. The last thing at
night wash the hands with a good
soap In not too hot water, and after
they have been thoroughly cleansed

ing 1t to sink into the skin. Massage
the back of each hand and the fin
gers with the fingers of the other
hand, rubbing them with the tips in a
circular movement. and gradually
working down to the nails.
Now rub over with olive oil, and
put on pair of old chamois leather
gloves, which, If kept on all night, will
make the skin soft, as well as nice
and white.
In cleaning the nails never use a
steel instrument or the points Of the
scissors. Stains and dirt can be re
moved by rolling a tiny wad Of cot
ton-wool on the end of an orange stick
and moistening 1t with diluted per
oxide of hydrogen.

in a frock of this sort, ofttmes COM
bines with cluny insertions or Irish
lace.
This season, with the vogue for COL
orful embroideries, much can be done
with thin materials that have colored
border designs, whether hand worked
or included in the weave.
Just how different are the methods
of utilizing border embroideries for
dress trimmings from those of other
seasons is demonstrated In the model
sketched for today. The material of
the frock is soft, fine white voile,
with an oddly patterned border de-
sign outlined in coral and white
floss.
The lower edge of the design is
cut out in deep points and scallops,
and this is used for the lower part OF
the blouse, with one of the points
running up over either shoulder in
front and in back The rest of the
blouse is of plain plated voile made
with elbow-length sleeves cut in one
with the sides. A small, round collar
finishes the neck, and row of little
coral buttons is set down the cen
ter front as trimming.
The tunic skirt has the cut-out Dor
der at the bottom, and is mounted
evenly to the waist with gathers. The

ford. This often comes about from
selecting a lot in a high-priced neigh
borhood. Then a man feels under
obligation to build house in keeping
with the street and with the ideas Of
his neighbors. He cannot go against

do not mean that a person should go
into a part of the town where prop
erty is neglected; but there are many
side streets leading of from main
residence avenues that are more de
sirable for homes than the main
streets themselves.
The stairway in this little house
combines a good deal in little space.
Besides leading both upstairs and
down, it gives a grade entrance to
the cellar, a side entrance to the
kitchen. and 1t takes up very little
room
Downstairs the main feature is the
dining room, which is large enough to
make a comfortable sitting room; and
1t is especially attractive on account
of the three windows and the CRATE.
This little house is only % feet wide
by 36 feet long, without measuring
the porch. A 22-foot house can be
comfortably placed on a 80 or 35-foot
lot and leave plenty of breathing
space on all sides. Then, 1t does not
