'It is wonderful how quickly iin' am bitions woman, when left to ber own resources, will see nu opportunity to make a good living in a business that would seem very unpromising to n less clever sister." remarked n New York dry goods iiicrchatil the other day. "I met such a woman recently and she gave me a poiut or two ns to how a bright woman can make her way In the world. , She Is n widow with three c'liidivn to support, aud two years ago. when she came to New York from the West, she hud just i?(Kl left out of it S.'luoo life insurance poli cy of her deceased husband. Not knowing what to do with such n small amount of money she wandered about the city for a week or two looking at things. Oue day she saw the women crowding the life out of one nnotlicr at a bargain couuter suie of skirts and she got tin Idea. She let It develop for a day or so and lliiut Invested $lo0 of her savings In silk skirls that were destined for the bargain counter. They were crumpled and looked faded and tired, but she took them as they were ur small prices and carried them lo l:t r rooms. There she ironed iliein out till I hey looked like new and then went out in the suburban towns to sell them. She found ready purchas ers at good prices and came back for more. These slie made as good as new and had no trouble lu disposing of her slock. "A few days later she bought it fresh supply of skirts uud also added shirt waists.

On Way to bet ICxerclae. Tiie woman who has "no time for relaxation uud systematic, exercise" is precisely the woman w ho most needs to take it. Uesi, exercise, diet, amusement and work are of equal Im portance in the vast scheme of liv ing. If one Would live sanely, that Is, healthfully. The old saying. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," is perfectly true, aud that all play uud no work has the same effect is equally correct. It is the wise ad justment of the proportion of each iliut makes for health. "I get ull the exercise 1 need In go ing ubout my household duties," many women assert, but that is the greatest mistake possible. I.'hder or dinary circuinstuiices u few sets of muscles ure culled Into nctivlty, and the mind, ut tiie suuie time.

A walk of twenty minutes' du ration in the open air Is an absolute dally necessity, aud should be at a reasonably brisk puce. loep breath ing should be practiced on these walks, until it becomes a fixed habit. A good plan Is to Inhale slowly while taking seven steps, then exhale dur ing seven. The mental application eoou ceases to be necessary, und the walker almost unconsciously breathes lu this way. Deep breathing is help ful iu cases of Insomnia also. Tito ltuliiy-Jar Skirt. The rniny-duy skirt has almost en tirely doiie away with the feminine waterproof or mackintosh clouk which u few yenrg ago occupied a lilacs la every woman's Wardrobe. These garments were mode up most expensively in silk and rubber-mixed materials, inouy of them being beau tiful in color and ilnlsh. While they looked extremely pretty on damp days, Ihey were never .n healthful garment, for the rubber ma terial excluded the ulr and made the clothing dump. Then the dillletilty 6t raising tho dress skirt was Increased nnd the rubber cloak invariably trailed In (be mud and became unsightly. Nowadays a woman dressed for n Journey in the ruin Is sensibly chid, from her heavy corked-soled shoes, which have - done away with the clumsy nnd objectionable overshoe, to her milt, tightly fastened hat, made to wlthslay the elements. Many women venture out In Close waterproof suits witligtit an um brella, but the umbrella gives n fin ish to the trim costume. On rainy days, and even on tine days when these costumes are worn, the hnlr should be plainly brushed nnd neat ly colled or braided. An elaborate "olffure or loosely arranged linlr Is In congruous with these gowns which suggest exercise iu the air.-New York Sun. Fentlmrntiillty In Di'cpa. "I'lowers upon clothing are a sym bol of the tyranny In which women are held." suld M. A'an de Velde. n ltelgiau nrtlst, who lecluicd in Yi'.mnn recently. In the opinion of M. Van de Velde, the mil form nttlre of men at n dinner or public function ox presses more beauty than does the hlt-iiiid-mlss effect of the women's costumes. Tiie mixed colors of the present gowns, be said, destroy the rhythmical line of beauty nud create only color dissonance. If women would adopt tho Idea of u uniform toilet, they would soon ilccll.tolil themselves to It. The floral designs mi frequent upon women's clothing are the consequence of trivial senti mentality nnd result from the habit of likening women to flowers. Clothing should fulfil the laws ot logic and reason, and should cover, not conceal. This, M. Vuu do Velde declared.

His Break Lasted Heventeen Yearei In ' Which Period He Waa Married anil llleuieri With Four Children Then - Chance and lie IVu With Strangers. 'A case that Is said to be one of the most remarkable known to the medical profession Is tlint of Charles Wash jurn, nged forty-one years, who, with lis family, resides at PJ Charles street, Mlcgheny, Mr. Washburn has Just recovered Ids memory after a lapse )f seventeen years, and since the re ;overy can remember practically noth ing that occurred during that time. Mr. Wnsliliiiru's native home was In Kuslern Pennsylvania, but In what town be has not yet been nble to re :all. According to his statement to bis Joctors, made since tho recovery of bis tientory, be left for tho West In JKS4, ifter the death of his father, to look jp Roino proporty that bad been left lo liim. He remembers leaving Chi cago on tho Chicago and Rock Isluud Knilroad, but can only recall that the :raln was wrecked n short time after leaving Chicago. He remembers a ;rash nnd the sensation of being iurled through the air, but from tlint time until he recovered bis memory, a few weeks ago, his mind Is a blank, or was nt the time of his recovery. Mrs. AVashbiiru says she met her husband twelve yenrs ugo, n few days after his arrival In the city, and two years Inter married him. But Mr. Washburn on tho recovery of his mem ory knew nothing of bis marriage or 3f the fact that be wns'thc? father ot four children. He did not recognize tiny of the people he bus known for the past ten years, he did not know anything of the neighborhood In which lie has resided for the same time, nor did he know anything of his former oc cupation, painting, nor bis present one, the grocery business. Electric cars were to him ns something springing suddenly from the earth, nnd lie had but a dim recollection of what electric lights were. An electric bell was also a novelty, with the use of which he was entirely unacquainted. The tall buildings of the city amazed him, and the sights on every hand were as strange to him as to a newly-born babe. For the past year and a half Mr. Washburn has apparently been' 111. This caused his retirement from his former occupation, a contracting paint er, nnd he embarked In the grocery business, conducting a small store nt ?2 Taggart street. Dr. Stanley (5, Small, of Taggart street, had been his physician nnd was treating him for hepatic abscesses or abscess of the Tv er. Tho frequent bursting of tho abcesses cnttsed great pain. On the night of February 23 he was walking the floor of his dining room suffering intensely. A daughter, who was In the room with him, accidental ly overturned a lamp. Mr. Washburn tried to grasp it as It fell, but as he reached for It he-murmured, "Oh, my bead," und fell to tho floor uncon scious. Ho was immediately put to bed, and Dr. Small summoned. But all the efforts of the doctor were ap parently without result, as Mr. Wash burn remained uuconsclous until tho next evening. When he regained consciousness tho nest day tho events of the past seven teen years were entirely forgotten. He regained consciousness nt the point where hi memory hud left him and his first words were: "Was I much hurt?" Mrs. Washburn was In the room at the time and replied In the negative, riien ho replied ns to what hospital be was In, and asked his wire If she was the nurse. She laughingly replied that she was his wife, whereat he grew Indignant nnd told her thnt she was taking liberties with him. He then demanded to see tho doctor, npd to humor him Mrs. Washburn sent for Dr. Small. While nwulting the doctor, Mrs. Washburn again engaged her husband In conversation, culling him by his first namo and telling him that be waa tho father of four children. "I'm not married," he replied. "Sics thing for a man twenty-four years of age to wake up after u night's sleep and to be told that he is the father of four children." "But you are not a young man," re plied his wife, and she handed him n mirror. When he saw the reflection of his face he acknowledged that he did not look like a man of twenty-four years of age, but still did not bclievo thnt he was married. He did not rec ognize the face as his, exclaiming: "My God, that Is not me," aud pointed to a portrait, taken about the time of his rnarrluge, as his own. Then Mrs. Washburn allowed him their mar riage certificate and brought in the children, which convinced him of the truth of her statement. A few days later, wheu his condition allowed of his being taken out. It was made apparent how complete the lapso of memory had been. . When he suw a trolley car he wanted to know what kind of wagons they were, running without horses. Tho information that they were electric cars was practical ly no Information, so far as be was concerned, and It neciasllnted an ex planation of how they wero operated before he could be made to uuderstuml, When he called on Dr. Kmull his Ignor ance of recent events waa again shown. At the doctor's front door he vainly tried to find the knob by which to ring the bell, and a woman who came up the steps behind blm showed him how to ring the electric bell. This, too, the doctor had to expluiu, and he 'dimly remembered having once seen electric lights in New York. He did not know one of his neighbors, with many of whom he bad been on Intim ate terms, and when, after be regained his strength. It was proposed that be resume his occupation of puiutlng, he astonished the doctor end his fuurily by Buying that be knew nothing about painting, and that he had never been a painter, notwithstanding that ho fol lowed this occupation for over ten years. Of the streets and city he dis played Ignorance, not even knowing tn name of the latter. An astonishing feature of the case Is that according to Mrs. Washburn's statement, during their entire married life she never noticed anything wrong with him. He acted rational at 'all times, never smoked, druuk but very little and, until the time of Ida Illness began, bad always worked bard and provided well for Ms family. He neT er did anything to lead her to believe thnt he was not in possession of bi.i senses, nud her surprise was greater thou his when he recovered conscious ness aud did not recognize her. About three weeks ago Dr. Small turned the case over to Dr. 'Edward E. Mayer, specialist on mentul and nervous disease, nt the West Penu Hospital, and also assistant professor of. tho medical department of the Western University of Pennsylvania. Both idiyslclans wero nt first reticent regarding the case, and it was only nfter being shown thnt It had already become public property nnd that relia ble, statements from them were better than the version of others, that they consented to talk nbout the case. Dr. Small snld that be had been treating Mr. Washburn for hepatic abscess for over a year. "Ho seemed to suffer great pain in bis right side," said the doctor, "and whenever be was touched he would fuirly howl with puln. When ho lust consciousness I thought It wus the result of the ab scess agalu breaking and was nmazed after his recovery of consciousness that be did not feel the slightest pnlu. As soon us I arrived at the house I begun examining him. He did not rec ognize me ns anyone he had ever seen before, and thought I insulted blm when I snld thnt hu bad nn abscess. Ho insisted that there was nothing wrong with him, nnd wheu I handled him n bit more severely than ttstial he made no complaint of any pain. Nor has be done so since the recovery ot bis memory. He is a man of more than ordinary Intelligence, nnd Ida children, who range from throe to nine years of uge, are also bright, not show ing the slightest trace of there having been anything wrong with their fath er." Dr. Mayer, though nt first disin clined to talk, said: "I took bold ot the case three weeks ago. Amnesia, the complaint with which he was uf-flli-ted, is not uncommon. It is often seen In insano cases which present al terations in personality aud double personality, seemingly two minds iu tho same body. Cases of double con sciousness, in which the ouo is sudden ly obliterated, to reappear utter a lapse of many years, are very rare. There Is only one fase on record of sudden nnd total loss of memory. This Is the case of Pastor Hanua, reported by Dr. Boris SIdis, of New York, aud pub lished in his book on 'Psychology of Suggestion.' "Mr. Washburn's case Is not one of complete amnesia, ns he always re membered his name. The case Is of grent psychologic Interest, as It Is one of the few that enable us to study the synthesis of consciousness aud the cellular action and disaggregation of the brain. Also Interesting Is the re education of tiie man to the Impres sions made during soveutcen years nud now lying dormant; the study of his dreams, the disassoclatlon of tho past from present Impressions and theli eventual combination. All of these furnish much material for study aud observation. The method of treating the caso which I nin following is pure ly one of suggestion. This consists of gradually separating him from uny impressions thnt have been left upon his brain by tho loss of memory, work ing back to the time preceding It, and then bringing his Ideas slowly up to the present time. There Is no hyp notic Influence or nnytlling of that sort used lu connection with the treatment. It Is all done tlirough simple sugges tion, and I believe It will lead to his iduas being eventunlly brought up to date." Pittsburg Times. ' Farm of l'orto Illco.

There Is the beginning of a move ment omong some steamship men In this city to look carefully Into the question whether or not It would pay thein to make use of the; autotruck, In stead Of the dray and horse, In trans ferring small lots of freight from their own piers to the piers, or slntloiv, of other transportation lines. Much ot the freight, on the coast steamboats nr rivlng hern Is consigned to points In land; nud In order to continue its jour ney, It must be delivered to the rail way lino that Is to forward It from this point. If n Clyde Line steamship from Charleston lands twenty barrels of po tatoes, consigned to Syracuse, N. Y., these must be delivered by the steatn eihlp company to the New Y'ork Central Railway, or some other line running to thnt point, according as the bill of lad ing directs. If the steamship's cargo contained nothing else consigned to points on the Central Uoad, It would send the potatoes by truck: but If the shipments were large or bulky, tho transfer would be tnnde by lighters end a tug-bout. Lighterage charges, however, ore rather high; und Ihey often quite wipe out any profits the steamship companies make ou n small consignment. - It Is therefore, for this reason that some cheaper means of transfer between the steamboat end railway piers of New York must be brought nbout. Steam nutotrttcks, Some shipping men say, would be jusl the thing. The cost of the autotruck Is from $3000 to ?.jOIK)-that Is, for the heavy sort which the steamship companies would have to use. Uut when It Is said thnt they are of eighteen unit twenty-live horse-power, it will be seen thnt the cost Is uot altogether uti reasonnble. Iu the making and developing of au totrucks, nil authorities on the subject quite agree, he United States Is fur behind England nud several Continen tal countries. While the rich of the cities have taken up the automobile (electric, steam, and gusoline) with great favor, the slower machine of bur den, the heavy steam autotruck, is finding It rather hard to find n place, either In the city or country.
