rRAvELlNe EXPOSITION.

Extensive undertakings have been carried out for the purpose of teach ing the importance of safety first prin- ciples. There have been large ex- positions held and cities have even arranged exhibits in order not only to give publicity to a matter of such importance but to demonstrate by actual displays how industries and i'm dividuals can contribute materially to the success of the idea.
 The latest effort has been made by the government which has started a special train of twelve steel cars from Washington, which will be sent all over the country for the exhibition of apparatus used in the various fed eral bureaus in the saving of life and property. The extent of the prepara- tions can be gained from the fact that Secretary Lane of the department of the interior hopes that every citizen of the United States may be able to visit the train before it completes it's swing around the country.
 The goverhment'sN Nefforts in behalf of safety first are aimed in several directions. It is charged through the bureau of mines with the development of efficient methods in mining, the more efficient use of the minerals, and the safeguarding of the lives of more than million men who work under ground. In this last named direction it is shown by statistics that in the past five years. as the result of it's work to a greater or less degree there has been a steady decrease in the death rate among the miners, the sav- ing in men, each year amounting to between 500 and 1000 over the pre- vious years. In addition there will also be exhibits and motion pictures to show what is being accomplished by other bureaus so that it is bound to he of great educational value in giving the people of the country a quicker and better idea of what is being accomplished than might other

A CASE OF 1NERvEs."

If you should go to the doctor and tell him that you are given to being gloomy and blue at times; that you have apprehensions of dreadful things: that you are representative: that you are constipated, given to headaches and vertigo. or to other similar ailments, the doctor would know that you were suffering from a case of nerves" Naturally, when you realize that these symptoms are signposts to nerves" you can appre- ciate how impossible it is for nerv- ous woman to appear charming and beautiful. If these facts were only understood more universally by wo- men they would be ashamed to admit they had nerves" and they would do all they could to cure them.
 No matter how talented a woman may be, how clever, how we'll read, or how interesting, if she is a nervous wreck she will find that little by lit tie her friends will see less and less of her, until in time she will find it a rare thing to have a caller. Not be- cause the friends mean to be unkind, but because human nature is so con- stituted that it longs for happiness and warmth, not for sorrow and gloom.
 The fundamental cause of nervous ness is lowered vitality. So the wise woman will do everything she can to keep her vitality up to it's highest mark. If she feels that her vitality is ebbing away she will stop everything and concentrate on building up the system, the nerve force and supply.

OVERLOOKING INTERPRETATIONS.

< From such reports as bear the stamp of |, authority coming from Washington the indications are that the German reply to the American note will tbe accepted. It does not give satisfaction in allsparticu1ars. but the new order which has been issued to the submarine commanders that Tn accordance with the general prin- ciples of vIsiti and search and the de- struction of merchant vessels recog- nized bys international law, such ves- sells, AhothA within and without the area declared a naval zone, shall not be sunk without warning and without saving Shuman 1ives,Y unless the ship attemptAto escape or toffer resistance, 9 is to beTregarded as} sufficient to avoid a diplomatic, break at Sthis time at least.
 , Reliance, is to be placedt upon the German promises, regardless of the manner inl which they have been broken in the past, for thel apparent reason thatthel change in the subma- rine policyt wastput into effect <before the answer wasfgiven to this country, which is to beSlooked upon as com pliance of the Imperial German, gov ernment with the demands of the United States that its submarine war fare be changed at once to comply with the requirements of international law.
 Such of course isAin accordance with the desire of this country to remain at peace and on friendly terms with all nations, but it shows that little attention is being given to the condi- tions which Germany declares will govern the time the new order re- mains in effect. That may or may not mean much but it is a loophole and it is not possible to overlook Ger many's conduct in the past year ir disregarding the rights of neutrals and humanity. It Is because of Germany past actions, and the attachment o1 the strings to the note, that greater confidence is not placed in the answer

that 1t has been accepted as cOnclu- sive.
 Concerning the recent accident on Island, the facts as to the signal sys- tenn are:
 The signal system which protects oyerhauled within the past four years ing that time in the highest state of efficiency. This is one of the safest signal systems in operation. It re- quires the cooperation of two men to work. It's efficiency is attested by the safety of operation on those sections of the New Haven where it is install- ed. This system is called the manual controlled lock and block system. The New Haven Railroad under MT. 1 Elliott,s management with the help of l his associate officers, is doing every ] thing possible to meet the needs of i New England, to cooperate with the | people of New England, and to be pre- l pared for the increased business which l should come within the next decade. Tn the last decade the business of New England increased about forty-fiye per cent. or from four to five per cent. 1 a year and 1t is natural to expect that 1 the same increase will mark the next 1 decade.
 Yours very sincerely, EDWARD G. RIGGS, Executive Assistant Of the New l York New Haven and Hartford | Railroad.

BENEFITS OF SLEEP

Sleep is not a matter of convenience, but a necessity. It should be made a comfort and the sleeping room should be the most pleasing place to its oc- cupant of all places in the house. Far more time is spent in the sleeping room than in any other place during most every healthy adult requires eight hours sleep, if the system is kept up to it's highest standards of health, and many require several hours more.
 The bedroom should be a place of rest, quiet, comfort cheer, quiet in ness to the character of the occupant It should be conductive to repose, to happy thoughts as companions to the land of sleep.

NEED OF EXERCISE.

Exercise in some form is absolutely necessary for health. We are so con- structed by nature that the digestive tract and alirnentary tract demands bodily activity in order to perform it's proper functions. Without 1t troubles begin to appear Constipation be- comes chronic disease, the circu1a- ton becomes poor, the liver and kid neys do not work properly and a thou sand and one little troubles begin to make themselves felt. You may be- gin to grow corpulent because the body is unable to eliminate the surplus sugar and starch products. Or you may grow too thin because the assiIn- ilative organs are unable to work pro- per1y from lack of proper exercise.

SAVED THE FILlPINos FROM IT.

SAWED HE fiLtPiNOS FROM IT.
 Once again the revolutionary forces arc doing their utmost to break up the government as at present organ ized in Hayti and Santo Domingo and put into control those who belong to their clique or who believe in their principles. This is of course being done by the usual methods adopted in those republics for instead of relying upon the ballot they prefer force, and they do not hesitate to tear down and destroy in their efforts to carry out their desires
 It is not unlikely that this country will be called upon to take part in the trouble before it is cleared up Admiral Caperton is there with ships and men and he has let it be under stood that he stands back of the po- sition which has been taken by Pres idents Jirninez of Santo Domingo and Dartiguenave of Hayti in their refu- sal to grant the demands of those wh5 are threatening a rebellion.
 It is plain to be seen that it is just such a condition as now prevails in this island that has been avoided by . the refusal of the lower house of congress to pass the Clarke amend ment in the Philippine bill To have sanctioned such a policy of sscuttle and to have placed the control of the islands. in the hands of the F'fIipinos within a period of four years would have simply been inviting them to engage in just such political revo- f1utions as break out periodically in the Latin and island republics, which are much older and nearer home.
 Every outbreak of the kind that has just occurred makes it evident more than ever that the wisest course to pursue with the eastern possessions is to keep them in training until the time arrives when they can be given independence without the danger of being torn to pieces by strife among themselves, and until they are thor oughly imbued with the sane and safe idea of self government.

NEWEST BATH ROBES.

The newest bath robes are those made of striped waterfall material which is much prettier and wears much better than plain goods. They are made after the usual model, hav- ing a cord of the same material with silk tassels at the ends to confine the robe at the waist The neck and sleeves of these robes are finished with a narrow edging of muffion, a new, soft, grayish brown imitation fur. This gives them dainty touch.

WASHING WHITE HAIR.

The very best shampoo for white hair is the white of an egg beaten in- to a pint of soft, cool water. Rub the hair with the egg, making a soft lath- CT, after wetting the hair with cold water, and finish the same as with other shampoo, except in the last rins- ing water which should be cold. A few drops of the best indigo, not or dinary blueing,t should be added to tinge the water. This acts exactly as does blueing on white goods, leaving the hair a pure white and not in the least tfnged with yellow.

RECOGNITION oF lIN ERROR.

An announcenent of much interest in connection with tkeapresene state Of iuternationals a2cairB, is that which comes from London sto zftesefee feet that German, Austrian and Hurl<iahs s1lb- 1ectss who sxvere-ta1xen from xhe4Akner- ican4 4steamship China oEgt the Asfatic scoastt by a BratlshS cruissf abesre- !leased in ccordance=wit ith -the demand of this country.
 This was a caEasxphere- reat1Brit- ain sought to justify it's act by the claim that the men taken off the aAmericanS shipS while under the pro- lection of the UnitedE States sfiags had conspired fagainst theeaIlies and that they were then on their wayE to- put their iplan into operation. 1t was, however. pointed out with consider able emphasis that the men seized were proceeding between neutral ports, that they were entitled to the protection of the flag under which they were sailing and that 1t was a violation of principles, setl forth by England itself when they were taken off of the China. It was further point ed out that the men would have been obliged. in order to reach their des- tination, to have landed in Japan, so that, inasmuch as Japan is one of the allies they could have been inter- cepted in proper way without re- sorting to the method which was adopted.
 Though not inclined at first to ad- init the correctness of the protest made by this country, the British gov ernment was nevertheless unable to sidetrack the ruling set forth by it. self a half century ago when an Amer ican warship removed confederate representatives from the Trent, 8 British ship plying between neutral ports. Thus Great Britain has done no more than there was reason to ex- pect that it would. It gives up the men not because the United States asked for 1t. but because it recog- nizes this provision of international law which had been violated, when it was pointed out through diplomatic channels that it was in error.

REcIPEs.


 Fish cmeIet-This is a good way of using up the remains of cold fish left over from a meal. Free the fish from all skin and bones and break up into very small pieces or shreds. Put this into a saucepan with about half an ounce ef butter, season with pepper and salt. and add enough white sauce or milk to noisten the fish. Stand aside and keep hot while you pre- pare the following mixture: Break three eggs into basin, beat up light ly, ad one tablespoonful of milk, Melt an ounce of butter in an omelet pan. Pour in the eggs, stir over a quick fire until the mixture begins to set, then shake well. Put the prepared dish into the middle of this, and fold over. Serve at once.
 Corn Chowder-FTy half pound of diced salt pork in a big saucepan un- til brown; add one sliced onion and cook until light brown; then add four sliced potatoes that have been par boiled ten minutes, a can of corn and a pint of boiling water; cook until the vegetables are tender, then add a quart of rich milk, pepper, salt and a half dozen crackers which have been soaked in a little milk Serve with a cracker on each dish of soup. Goldfish may be used in this dish in place of corn and is a most satisfying chowder. Add the salt fish, shredded and soaked, with the milk at the last.

If you insist on using any cosmetic, do buy the powder rouge. Put bit of cold cream on your face first, then dust over lightly with a good face pow der, and finally dab on little rouge, the less the better. Never use powder or rouge without founda- ton of cold cream. Do not economize on the money you spend for powder or rouge, for cheap cosmetics are on- ly used at the expense of your skin.

Careless washing and imperfect drying are the reasons for more red, unsightly hands than anything else. The slightest dampness of the skin in cold weather will make the hands chap and crack.
