HOW TO DRESS.
What Some Of the Foremost Artists
Say About Fashion.


Say About Fashion.
Several of the foremost artists and
illustrators of the country give some
startling opinions in McCalrs Maya
zine as to the ways in which the wo-
man of tomorrow can dress more be-
comingly Says Harrison Fisher:
Il think women would look very
much better If they didn't wear cor
sets. l hope that the woman Of to
morrow will come to that conclusion.
OF course she must exercise and train
herself to do without her artificial sup
ports, upon which long custom has
made her depend. But when she has
finally thrown them away she will he

glass curve which the tightly laced
corset makes at the waist gives an
ugly contour to the outer garments.
The figure of the Greek goddess :

William NJ Chase says: Every wo-
man ought to try to look tall. whether
she is or not. and longitudinal lines
in her clothes will help her to this
effect. believe Dr. Sargent says
that the height Of women is ncreas

able to enable them to dispense with
long, flowing lines OF dress. My eyes
are daily offended by the color comb

season certain shades are named pop

for them without even stopping to

It is not to past modes. but even to

How to Choose Poultry.

There is much discussion regarding
the merits of drawn and undrawn
poultry. Most dealers contend that in
warm weather a fowl which has had
entrails and crop removed spells much
more quickly, because of the extent
Of cut surface exposed, than does I'M
drawn poultry In a large city mar
ket one dealer kept drawn poultry,
and he said that he could not do SO
except for the fact that steady Gus
toners took all of his stock. so that
nothing was left on his hands. The
extra price he asked per pound was
only sufficient to make up for the loss
in weight.
1t is greatly to the housekeeper's
advantage to buy fresh we'll drawn
poultry, for not only is the flavor in
jured by the unclean practice of al
lowing the entrails to remain in the
body. but it is thought to favor the
development of ptomaineS 1t has
been shown that after death the in
festival juices. with their contained
bacteria, are able to pass through the
walls Of the intestines into the mus
Gle fiber, and this process goes on.
even though the fowl is kept at Il
very low temperature In some states
cold storage fowls are required by
law to be sold as such

The Copper Ii Z Cent.

A penny is made from a.n"s'
ically pure copper, which is Oh;
by the new electric methods. Fori!r.
the refining of copper was an exp,
sive process, but with the utilizH'in,.
electricity the expense has been ii.
terially decreased. The copper Is |,
ed at one end of tank which is ii
with water. This is called the an
or positive pole. The action of ii uo
erful electric current releases the coy,
per. carries it through the water ANA
deposits it on the negative or cathW't
pole. The result is what is known as
ELECTRICITY" or cathode" copper. 1t
Is what pennies are made of. While
the 'electrolytic" is the purest known
copper. the lake" copper brings =
slightly higher price In the market.
This is because there is a small amount
of silver in all the copper from the
Lake Superior regions. 1t is so small
that it cannot be separated at profit
Silver. however, is better conductor
of electricity than copper. and there
fore for commercial purposes the lake
copper is in such demand that it brings
a better price.-New York Press.

Locusts Among Thorn.
One Of the great food delicacies Of
Japan is sashimi, 6llet Of raw 6sh
served with soy and condiments. This
dish. though highly recommended by
both Japanese and European medical
authorities. is pronounced queer or un-
civilized by those not born to the Gus
tom of eating it.
When these critics are reminded.
however. of their eating live oysters
with gusto it occurs to them. says the
Oriental Review. that the one is at
least more artistic In appearance than
the other. though both may be equally
palatable and nutritious.
1t is likely that very few English
people know that the fisher folk along
the Devonshire coast are accustomed
to eat laver. an edible seaweed. and so
think it very odd that the japanese
should use certain seaweeds as an ar
