Dodging the Trail in the Dance.
"Nobody ever told me that I was a
good dancer," declared Edward M.
Rreenway. leader of cotillons. "But
I'll tell you a compliment a young
woman did pay me once. She said:
'You took me through that crowd
without a collision and without any

"Well, I never had a dancing les
son in my life. But I used to prac
tice dancing ln the days when women
wore those great long trains, and it
was not considered good form to
pick them up. They trailed along
behind several yards. Those were
the days when you had to guide and
keeping moving with your partner
bo as to keep that train following
gracefully."

Why Women Ride Astride.
"It Is the general opinion among
the physicians with whom I asso
ciate." writes a corresponded of the
New York Medical Journal, "that the
fashion oi womjn riding astride has
not had its origin in fad so much as
it has in the advice ol physicians of
,Mir modern type.
"The fact that a person riding
astride can have more freedo i from
jar and jolt than one riding on a
side saddle, should be a point In
favor of the astride method, aside
from the fact of it being safer and
easier for the rider.
"The fact that it might be con
sidered Immodest by those who are
not familiar with the astride method
of riding is no reason why it should
be condemned. The mala reason
why It Is becoming more popular la
beause that phys.clans in general
see its good points over the old
method and are thus advlslnr it."

MOXJKY A NEW YORKER MADE.
, .-.',- . i in
At a rrvmlum tNow Though L'nclo
Sam Rejected It.
New York-has been the birth
place of many curious coins of pri
vate manufacture which for a time
have passed as money. Of these no
scries Is more Interesting or has
left more metallic reminders than
the coin struck ln the metal known
as "Feuchtwanger composition."
In 1837 Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger,
a New York druggist and chemist,
Invented a white metal, very much
of the color of silver, from a com
pound of copper, zinc, nickel and
iron. Ho struck a number of coins
of the dcmciinilnatlon of one and
three centH, the latter belns the first
ce'n of this value ever Issued In the
United States.
Specimens of these coins ho for
warded to Congress with a petition
that his metal be adopted for Unit
ed States subsidiary coins Instead of
copper. It. M. Patterson, Director
oi the Mint, reported adversely on
the petition, and the metal was re
jected by the Government
Dr. Feuchtwanger continued to
strike coins of the repudiated met
al, and ninny o." the tradesmen s
tokens of the period were als made
of the so-called "American silver,"
so-e of which are now of consider
ate rarity and value.
The rarest of the regular Feucht
war.ger coins from the standpoint of
va'ue Is a three-cent piece dated
183 7 which shows an eagle on the
obverse. On the reverse Is a laurel
wreath, between the two ends of
which U the Arabic figure "3." The
wreath encloses the words "Three
Cents," while around the border Is
Inscribed "Feuchtwanger's Compo
sition." The edge of the coin Is
reeded, and a specimen in uncircu
lated condition has brought $40.
A similar variety of the three cent,
piece shows an eagle standing on
rocks, with the date 1837 beneath.
On the reverse there is a wreath,
but the figure 3 Is omitted front be
tween the ends or the wreath. This
variety when ln fine condition Is
worth $10.
The next piece ln point of value
Is what evidently was struck as a
tradesmen's token for use in this
city. In seven lines, on the obverse,
the inscription reads: "Feuchtwan
ger American Silver Composition 2
Cortland St., New York." The re-
orse In six lines Is inscribed "House
and Household Furniture, Instru
ments, Beer Pumps, Pillars, Orates,
Spoons, Forks and Dining Se's."
This piece, which Is about the size
of a half dollar, has brought $16.
Another tradesmen's token of
rare variety, somewhat similar to
the reverse of the foregoing piece,
shows the Inscription on the ob
verse, "Dr. Feuchtwanger's Ameri
can Silver Composition, 377 Broad
way, New York."
One variety of the three cent
piece, while not rare, Is of interest
to New Yorkers, for It Is a New
York three cent piece, show
ing on the obverse the arms of New
York with the word "Excelsior" and
the date 1837 underneath.
The commonest or the Feucht
wanger pieces are those of the de
nomination of oue cent, the princi
ple design of which snows an eagle
gtasplng a snake.
The scarcest of the Feuchtwanger
pieces, not considering premium, Is
a throe cent piece of the 1837 issue
Btruck in copper, of which only one
specimen has been mentioned.
The record price paid for a coin
Btruck in Feuchtwanger metal ( is
$72.60, which was paid for a speci
men of the "Philadelphia shilling"
at the Morris sale, held ln Philadel
phia ln 1905. The piece shows the
arms of the city of Philadelphia on
one 'side, while the other bears the
Inscription around the edge, "Cor
poration of Philadelphia," ln the
centre being stamped the words,
"One Shilling Token."
A second variety bearing the
arms of Philadelphia, like the fore
going, showed on the reverse a
wreath in the centre of which are
the letters. '"F. S." (which are sup
posed to stand for "Feuchtwanger
Silver") and "50 -Cents." This va
riety also is very rare, and a fine
specimen sold for $47.50 at the
same sale as Its companion coin.
In 1837 a New York firm struck
from the Fauchtwanger metal a coin
representing the denomination of
12 Vt cents. On the obverse was an
e-gle holding in its talons a snake,
with the date "1837." On the re
verse was the Inscription, 'R. E.
Russell, I. O. U. 12 He." It was a
little larger than the old time cop
per cent. At a recent sale a fine
specimen brought $14. New York

The Wake of a Bullet.
Experiment have recently been
made with an Inflammable paste on
bullets. When the bullet leaves the
muzzle the paste ignites, leaving a
stream of smoke behind It, and en

course, and, if necessary, correct hi
aim for the next shot.

would rather be lied to to bis wed

WOMEN IX EGYPT,
All Mohammedan Women Weas
Veils.
There are semlngly more typee or
women in Cairo, all of them natives
of Egypt, than ln any other city of
like population in the world. Their
variety Is due largely to the differ
ence In costume, which is regulated
by religious beliefs.
All the women of Mohammedan
faith wear veils. Some wear queer
little spoods of brass or gold, which
are attached to the headpiece, and
which hang down to cover the nose.
This signifies that tho wearers are
married. Others wear veils without
either headpiece or nose covering.
The veils of the Turkish women are
the handsomest, and they are also
the most coquettish, for occasionally
they are thin enough to show the
outline of the features beneath.
Nearly all the arlBU.eratlo male
Turkish women, who are supposed to
Egyptians of Cairo are married to
be superior to the natives both ln
beauty and intelligence. The ma
jority of Turkish girls of wealthy
fninllles are educated as are their
European sisters, and many of them
ere talented ln music and painting.
This enlightenment which allocs
the daughters to be educated applies
only to those families wleh have had
the advantage of English associa
tion. Hut this class Is very rarely

A WOMAN'S "XO."
Plenty of Happy Marriages 15e;tnl
'So, Rut Ended With a "Yes-"
There are plenty of happy mar
llages which have begun with "no"
and ended with "yes." It frequently
happens that the 'woman who refuses
the first time consents willingly upon
the second or third. Nor is the rea
son for this far to seek.
The woman who answers wltV a
negative often does so believing that
If her suitor really means what he
fcays he will not accept dismissal
without making an effort to reverse
her decision.
The astute lover, when declined
as a husband, begs humbly for friend
ship and proceeds to make himself
necessary to hU lady-love's comfort
and hailness. He studies her tast
es, humors her whims, is always ou
hand when needed, yet never ln tie
way. In short, he plays the part
cf "cavalier servant" so adroitly that
tome day when he betakes himself
to Japan or Paris his lady-love wakes
up to the knowledge that he has be
come Indispensable to her, a part of
her life, which, withdrawn, leaves a
sense of lack, a void.

WISHING WON'T MAKE MONEY.

It takes a practical mind to make

this great work or that." Now,
those men will never be rich. They
haven't got the purpose and practi

of the fruit of victory without the

Suggestions for Stout Women.
First and mast important Is the
question of corset. The stout worn
an can make no greater mistake than
to try and deceive herself by wear
lng a close, tight fitting corset lu
hopes that It will make her appear
slender. The effect is distinctly the
contrary. A well-made, comforta
ble corset, fitted and especially
adapted to her personal require
ments, will give lines to her figure
that will make her appear much
more slender.
The stout woman should avoid
plain, tight-fitting blousas. In wear
ing shirtwaists, the Bmall shoulder
yoke in front, which Is fashionable
this season, is one of the bert adap
tations, as it makes the shirtwaist
fit much better across the shoulders,
and gives an opportunity for so:ne
fullness In the front breadths across
the bust, where it is needed, and
where any tightness or strain is so
ugly.
Tho back yoke for the Btout wom
an 1b a serious mistake. It has a
tendency to shorten the waist line,
and adds breadth across the should
ers. A few plaits In the center
from the collar to the belt line is
the best way of finishing the bacit.
All coats and jackets for the stout
woman should end below the waist
lino.
The long, half-fitting coat Is excel
lent, and lends grace to the figure.
The jackets with the straight fronU,
ending several lnohes below the
waist line, and made either ln double-breasted
form or with a fly
front, la oue of the best models for
the stout woman to follow.
The stout woman should beware
of over-trimmed skirts and not ot
tempt uny elaborate stylet, ln that
direction. The skirt trimmed In
panel fashion Is becoming.
The choice of materials Is most
Important. Plaids are absolutely
forbidden except in small doses,
when utilized as waist trimmings.
Stripes should also be used with dis
cretion. Black and darker shades are the
best colors for the stout woman.
Experimental Sowing.
Burbank's achievement with the
daisy are more fasclnaMng than a
fairy tale. From England, Japan,
Uermany and Australia everywhere
where daisies grew he got seeds
of the best varieties, not a few, but
hundrdB, thousands.
These were carefully planted and
watched with closest care. They
were all going to be slain, but out
of their death was to come a new
dulsy, larger, more beautiful, more
hardy, and that would flower ln
every climate perennially.
The result was his "Shasta"
daisy, one of the most beautiful
flowers ever seen of clear, bril
liant white, great size , the centre
of pure yellow resting upon slender
er yet stronger stems.
