New Nail 1'oliHh.
There is a new nail polish that Is
ttald to be excellent that is Imported
by a house whose name Is the syno
nym for perfection. The beauty of
this polish Ib that It Is not harsh like
so many of the powders, but when It
is rubbed upon the palm of the hand
and the nails then rubbed against the
palm, a beautiful Rloss is produced
without unpleasant friction or burn

Can you justly apply the word
"vain" to women of society who,
knowing how unreliable the camera
may be, prefer to have newspapers
and magazines print pictures of
themselves that have been photo
graphed from paintings, asks the
New York Press. Many a pretty
woman turns out the reverse of pret
ty on the plate, for her charm may
be depend on expression, rather than
symmetry of feature. Whatever the
Bitter's greater charm may be, it is
not lost by the portarlt painter who
knows his business. Indeed the pic
tures of some society women who
have no objection to poBing in the
public eye are bo exceeding lovely in

not printed beneath, their friends
would say: "Who's that?"
Home-Made Jackets.
The jackets that are so extremely
fashionable are not Impossible for
amateurs to make, provided a good
pattern is at band. There must, be
sufficient material used in the fronts
of the jacket to permit of lis being
fastened, although the design is to
have the coat worn open, showing a
waistcoat or fancy waist. A mistake
that amateurs are apt to make is
that of cutting the fronts of the
lacket too narrow in order to gain
the effect that is given in the model
With sufficient width the fronts can
te turned back If so desired, but even
when left to hang loose they will
not look too wide, for they will stay
In place.
A good investment for any woman
who has her eowns made at home Is

There are any number of designs to
rhonsfi from this season, and the
prices vary greatly, so that it Is pos
sible to purchase them at compara-
tively low cost. With a Jacket of

much duty. Harper's Eazar,

Rest-Cures at Home.
Though dietetics is a ponderous
subject in Itself, the woman with the
at-homa sanitarium must give it am
tineuished consideration. The so-
called meal and a halt may include a
licht breakfast, with a good dinner
In the evening, or tho small break
fast with the abundant dinner at
nnnn. rnirt nnthlne until the next
mornlnc. The latter plan is pre
ferred because It gives the stomach
plenty of work once a day, to de
velop It as any other muscle of the
body, and a long period of rest. If
tho beginner finds the intermission
too exacting, however, a cup of malt
ed milk may be taken In the evening,
as this Elves considerable nourish
ment with hut little tax on the di
gestive organs. The amount of food
to be taken at these meals Is a matter
of individual computation, depending
somewhat unon the amount of exer
cise the rest-cure patient may be tak
ing. Presumably, the breakfast of
fruit, a cereal, and cereal coffee, or
the dinner of puree soup, a meat or
flah. nevRr.li veentables. maybe a
salad, and a light dessert with cereal
coffee, makes a satisfactory repast.

Canada, the Eveless Eden.
Canada is winning the unenviable
reputation of an Eveless Eden. The
men outnumber the women, and even
immigration does not mend matters,
for It is figured that of the 14,000
new BettlerB who have arrived In
Canada since the first of the year,
not more han eight per cent, of
them have been women. Of this
eight per cent, the majority were
married women. In the western
part of the Dominion the lack of wo
men Is a serious handicap to the de
velopment of the country. The set
tlers cannot find wives, and as wo
man plays Just as important a part
as man In the drama of a new coun
try, the government of Canada Is
worried over the unenviable situ
ation. The Government Is satisfied
with tiie class of immigrants that
has arrived tnls year. They are said
to ue a sturdy lot t,( E,en few ot
whom aro past forly-iivu, and most
of whom are between tweuty and
vvemj-nve years, ana many are fair-
-w., w u. . lul.g nUnii,er are
from the north of Ireland, many
otuuuiiu, ana the rest ti
crowded centres of England. The
Government frankly admits that the
Dominion cannot supply wives for
the new settlers and ad vines them to
send to the old country for mates.
Now, If Massachusetts were only in
Canada, the problem would be partly
solved, for In the old Buy State the
women largely outnumber the men.

Benuty Talks on Eyes.
By rent I ni for half an hour In n
dark room mid placing over tin? eyes
a bit of old linen which h:m been sat
urated with rose water, the eye will
be rested, and will brighten consider
ably. One kind of eye thiit is never lieitu-
tlful is the one that fails to look
squarely Into yours. Wiiti-li out fur
that type.
The while of the eye should be
clear; when it Is yellow it Is u sig!i of
ill health. The real bemity of one's
soul window Is In the expression, the
change, the speech one might call it.
The eye that lightens and laughs or
looks deep sympathy is the one that
Impresses Its Image most strongly up
on our memory.
The physical beauty of the eye de-
IkmhIs more upon the size and elonga
tion than upon the color. If the form
be bad or If the eye lie not well set
In the bead, no color can make the eye
beautiful.
Some time ago hcHudonn was re
sorted to as a means for giving luster
to the eyes by enlarging the pupils,
with sad coiisocpieiices. This Is a drug
which should never be tised except by
a physician who undevHtaiuls its ef
fects. Itatlilng the eyes with rose water
or a weak solution of boric acid Is a
snfe practice and will strengthen them.
Hut If you would have your eyes bright
be animated and cheerful. An excel
lent lieul Ui rule for bright eyes and a
clear skin is to take the Juice of a
lemon In a glass of water with a dash
of salt added. This acts directly on
the liver, which has more to do with
good looks than most of us imagine.
High-Class Domestic Service.
The growth of enormous fortunes
In the United States Is bringing back
the old English fashion of high-class
domestic service. In that time the
domestic chaplain was an upper ser
vant who received less consideration
than the modern butler, and tho fam
ily lawyer was a functionary of
hardly more worth and dignity. The
family doctor, having the power of
life and death, may have been treat
ed with more civility, but the trials
Df tutors and governesses in wealthy
families always has been a fruitful
topic of pathetic fiction. The fash-
Ion Is coming back to the excessive
rich. The bread and butter of the
clergyman still depends on the favor
of tho rich men.
The retirement of the pastor of
what Is called the Rockefeller church
In New York, callB attention to the
fact that the richest man In America
Is the patron of two churches and a
great university. The cause of Dr.
Johnston's retirement Is a mystery.
It is said that some of his timid ani
madversions upon the arrogance of
wealth and the evils of Wall street
gambling have given offense in pow
erful quarters.
The high class domestic Bervlce of
the excesive rich is not confjnsd to
the cure of souls. Such cases are r.ot
uncommon where a lawyer or phys
ician practices his profession for the
soo benefit of a wealthy man.
When Chauncey Depew was gen
eral counsel of the New York Cen
tral he served and touted for the rich
Vanderbilt family everywhere, from
the dinner table to the Legislature at
Albany. The humiliations of an
cient domestic chaplains nro re

Vanderbilt women to receive him at

To every mother who enjoys dress
ing her children prettily the present
style cannot help but be a delight. It
Is like playing dolls all over again to
get up tho dainty little dresses with
their appropriate headgear, for every

piquant bocomlngness. Then little

contain unnumbered trifles which are
truly as charming as doll toys. Para
boIs, fans, chains and bracelets ac
company the finer frocks, dainty Bilk
underslips and even seperate mm
petticoats are for the transparent

in the way of Bashes and hair rib

afternoon Bummer dancing are also
I in(iispensable, which matins that little

How can le38 than 100,000 per
sons spend hnlf a billion dollars In
Europe this year?
A. Barton Hepburn, formerly
Comptroller of the Treasury and
now President of the Chase Na
tional Bank, asserts that at least
$400, 000, 000, but probably the larger
sum, Is what It will cost this coun
try for the expenses of Its tourists
in 1906.
Mr. Hepburn's sources of informa
tion include the biggest bankers,
American and foreign, In New York,
and his experience in the United
States Treasury, gives his opinion
great weight among financiers. Mr.
Hepburn said:
"The extravagant expenditures of
American tourists abroad are In a
great degree responsible for the
present conditions in the money mar
ket. These expenditures now reach
the enormous sum ot $400,000,000
or $500,000,000 a year. The sub
ject was discussed recently by a
number of gentlemen prominent in
financial affairs who have facilities
for gathering information on such
a Bubject, and the lowest estimate
by any of them was $400,000,000.
Several of them thought this esti
mate was too low, and placed their
estimate at $500,000,000 a year.
Offsets the Trade Iialunce.
"This vast sum about offsets the
great trade balance in favor of the
United States each year. According
to the best information obtainable
on the subject, our floating debt to
Europe at the present time Is be
tween $300,000,000 and $500,000,
000. This is in addition to the
great sum spent by American tour
ists. "When John Sherman was Secre
tary of the Treasury, about a quar
ter of a century ago, he made a care
ful investigation through foreign
bankers and foreign exchange
houses as to the full amount that
was at that time expended every
year by these tourists. Ho found
these expenditures amounted to
$100,000,000 a year.
"At that time there were few multi-millionaires
in the country. Now
there are many of this class who
maintain great establishments
abroad, but their disbursements do
not by any means represent all the
American money that goes into Eu
ropean pockets., The tourists come
from all parts of the country, and in
clude people of moderate means, as
well as those of wealth. '
"Our bank keeps ono of its bright
est young men constantly employed
in attending to the wants of these
tourists. The expenditures are grow
ing larger every year. But for them
there would be an annual monetary
balance in favor of the United States
that would In a few years pile up an
enormous sum."
Extent of European Travel.
It Is estimated by steamship men
that more than 100,000 men, women
and children have paid first-class
pessuge "across the pond" this year,
perhaps the biggest year of Euro
pean travel. The sacond-elass pas
sengers, who spend less, may bring
Safe Anyhow.
The story Is told in Boston ot a
discussion among the judges bb to
the choice of a stenographer. Most
of them preferred a woman, but one
objected.
"Now, why don't you want one?"
aakod Judge S. "You know they are
generally more to bo depended on
than men."
"That may all he bo," replied
Judge B. ; "but you know that in our
cases we often have to be here very
late. There are always watchmen and
other guards in the corridors. Do
you think it would be prudent to
have a woman staying with any ,of
tho judges as late as might be nec
essary for a stenographer?"

Couldn't you holler," questioned

I
tho total up to ISO, 000. Supposing
that 20,000 of tho steerage passen
gers are "tourists," that makes 200,
000 In all.
To spend even $400,000,000 in
Europe these tourists would bo ob
liged to pay out $2000 each. Ex
perts declare no such sum is spent
on tho average. A $2000 tariff,
they say, would bring the amy of
ocean-goers down to a handful of
a few thousands. The persons who
pay $700 for a stateroom or $1500
for a parlor or cabin de luxe on
transatlantic steamers are few in
deed. So also tho millionaires who
go abroad for a few months, scatter
money right and left, take a ducal
house In London for the season, a
chateau In Languedoc, and perhaps
a castle In Spain are also very few.
The estimate of Mr. Hepburn wca
submitted to Thomas Cook & Son,
who have wide experience In the
tourist business. Mr. Kcyser, mana
ger of Cook's booking department,
said:
"I don't believe it. H doesn't
stand to reason. Our business
touches. In general, persons from
moderately rich to those with small
Incomes. Going to Europe Is not
so costly a Job, when It's figured out
right, as many think.
"Once you're on tho other side
you can travel and stop wherever you
like, with good accommodations, all
covered by tfn expense of S6 to $10
a day. Any more can be set down to
extravagance, or at least to lavish
ness. I could tell you of the ex
travagance of a few of our fsudden-Iy-rich
Americans, but as a factor
In Amorican expenditures abroad
these extravagant individuals count
for very llttlo.
"Bear In mind that a trip to
Europe Is the dream of almost every
cultivated American. School teach
ers save tjieir salaries for years to
go. Ministers, also, try to save a
little out of their small pay, or their
congregations raise a small purse
for them. Merchants and profes
sional men In small towns all over
the country try to set aside enough
to take their families to England or
France or Italy.
Expenses Generally Small.
"They are all so eager to go that
as soon as they can see their way
to cover closely calculated expenses
they start. That moans a small
average of expenses. Besides, moBt
European travelers come back with
ten per cent, of their letters of credit
unexpended."
A steamship agent expressed the
opinion that there was positive gain
In European travel. He said:
"A business man takes his family
over. He cannot help seeing how
the men in his line of business In
England, Germany anywhere
carry It on. Maybe he gains points
that he can apply to his own advan
tage in his business at home. Most
often ho sees chances to increase his
business by selling to Europe.
"Aside from that, no economist
wilt claim that money spent for cul
ture, for broader views and general
enlightenment, is wasted, even If It
be spent In another country. It Is
sure to come back at least tenfold."
A New Idea iu F.ducutioii.
Twenty-five dollars a month for
young men to study military science
and agriculture, Such in brief Is the
recommendation of Captain Joseph
Frazler of the Fourteenth United
States Infantry to Governor Folk of
Missouri, the State Board of Agri
culture and other powers that be.
Captain Frazler would empower
every senator and representative in
the General Assembly to appoint one
young man to take the agricultural
and military courses at Missouri uni
versity and have the State pay him
$25 a month during the continuation
ot his appointment. All cadets thus
appointed would be under the strict
est military discipline, and would be
required to live within their Income
from the State. 'i'hia system, Ue
maintains, would bo of lncaluclable
benefit to Missouri agriculture. It
would turn out more than one man
In each county per year who thor
oughly understood the bases of cor
rect agriculture. The leaveu thus
put Into the farmer's calling would
be worth millions. As evidence of
this fact, he says, It Is to be remem
bered that one man in Iowa, who has
taught farmers how to select Mid
cure for seed corn, Is estimated to
have Increased the yield $10,000,
000 a year.
1 Household Matters.:
is
To AVmhIi CIihuhiIh leather.
Chamois leather should always bo
i washed In warm water to which a
little ammonia has been added. Wash j
by pressing softly between the palms, 1
but do not wring. Press the water
out by holding tightly between the 1
hands, and hang in sun or before I
the fire where It will dry quickly,
Rub and pull into shape every few
, , . , ,. , '
moments during the drying process.
To (lean Linoleum.
It stands to reason that soap Is
going to injure the varnish and fin
ish. On a farm where there Is plenty
of milk a cloth wrung out of skim
mllK Is the best means of taking tip
the dust and brightening the lino
leum. Where milk is scarce, use
luke warm water to which has been
added half a cupful of kerosene oil
nr some good furniture polish.
Wring the cloth rather dry from this
and go over the linoleum after sweep
i -.g. An ordinary broom should
nt be used upon linoleum any more
tnan upon a hardwood floor, because
It is too harsh, and In time produces
unsightly scratches. Have a soft,
long-handled brush, which takes the
dust from a polished surface much
better than .". broom, and does not
scratch or mar the surface; then
finish with a clean cloth wrung out
of the oil and water.- Most house
keepers and nearly all servants scrub
oilcloth and linoleum as though they
were a bare floor. They are dusty
rather than dirty, since everything
remains on top.
For the Lamps.
All lamp burners and wicks should
be thoroughly c-ltaiiFed as often as
once a month. Take out the wick3
and put them into a pan of boiling
water, with a teaspoonful of washing
soda, set the pan on the stove and let
boil for an hour, when they should
be taken out, rinsed well In clean
water and dried in tho sun. Put the
burners also Into a pan of boiling
water in which has been dissolved
three teaspoonfuls of washing soda,
and boil and rinse In the sama way.
Thoroughly wash out the bowl of the I
lamp and re-fill with clean, fresh oil.
That taken from the emptied lamp
may be put Into a bottle and used for
cleaning In various ways. When the
wick and burners are dried, return
them to the freshly-filled lamp, trim
the wick carefully, lighting to see
if all is right, before you set it away.
All soft or tissue papers should be
saved for chimney cleaners, and when
the lamp Is filled and ready to bo set
away, it Is better to rub the charred
edge off the wick with a bit of paper
than to try to even it with the scis
sors. One of the most necessary
articles In tho home is a clear, seet
smcllng light.
Testing Small l-'ruits.
Testing small frultsis so simple, ac
cording to an old time dealer, that a
woman who has had any experience
n buying supplies for the house
hold should be able to judgo their
edible qualities easily.
"With tho larger fruit, such as
melons, a woman must have some
experience," said he, "before she
can be sure that the ones she selects
nre ripe and good. With both water
melons and cantaloupes weisht
should be a detormiuing factor in
the choice. Then, too, with the for
npir, if ripe, the rind should br; soft
enough for cn Indentation to be
made with the finger nail or the
sharp end of a pencil, for us a rule
when they are hard and resist Etich
pressure It Is an Indication that they
have not become sufficiently ripe to
eat. Of tho many varieties on tho
market the Ceorgia melons aro tho
best that is, the sweetest In my
opinion. Many dealers do not ob
ject to cutting into a melon when a
ir.; jr has selected one, and if u
merchant is willing to make such a
test I should suggest that a woman
accept such an offer."
Cherrlc3 For Tarts To preserve
cherries for tarts, to three pounds
of fruit, after stoning, add one pound
of brown sugar; put the sugar and
juice together and boil, then put In
the fruit; stew fifteen or twenty min
utes; take them out and skim and
drain the syrup from the fruit; lay
in dishes to dry in the sun; pour
over the syrup a little at a time;
turn the fruit over frequently; when
all the syrup has been used and the
fruit is well dried, put In stone Jars
with alternate layers of sugar.
Orange Fritters Mix one-half
pound flour and one-half pint milk
into a stiff batter; add two ounces
melted butter, two eggs well beaten
and a very little salt. Peel two
oranges, divide into sections without
cracking the skin, have ready a pan
of thoroughly boiling fat, put In a
tublespoonful of batter with one
piece of orange In the center, fry a
nice golden brown, drain on kitchen
paper, then dish on lace paper,
sprinkling powdered Bugar on the
top. They should be cooked and Bent
to the table as quickly as possible.
llotch I'oteh Ilotcli potch is an old
fashioned Scotch dish, made In the
spring, when there are plenty of fresh
vegetables. It is a thick puree-like
soup. It nitty be mtidc either from
fresh or cooked incut. This is one way
of milking it: Three or four pojimls of
loin chops are put into a sauecpne. with
about three quarts of boiling water.
Peas, barrlcot beans, carrots, half a
turnip, parsley, a little bit of cabbage
and some green onions nre added. Uoil
this Very slowly for au hour ana
quarter, season with pepper and suit,
tt should be a thick broth when done.

daughter of a near neighbor, had during
bis absence changed from a tomboy
schoolgirl into a bashful young woman.
His father had also noticed it.
"Have you noticed old Joe Mason's
daughter shot up, John?" he asked his
son. "Scctns, to me she's getting quite
a handsome young critter."
"Father," said John, enthusiastically,
"she is as beautiful as llebc."
"She's a jolly sight punier than he
be." objected the old man. "Where's
your eyes, boy? Joe's got a face like
an old ham door. It's her mother she
gets her looks from." London Answers.

"In the year 1806 the side of my right
root was cut on irom the little toe down
to the heel, and the physician who had
charge of uie was trying to sew up the
uide of my loot, but with no success. At
last my whole loot and wuy up above my
chIV teas nothing but proud tieab. I suf
fered untold agoniea for four years, and
tried different physicians and all kinds ot
ointments. 1 could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards 1 saw
a change in my Umb. Then I began usin
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often duriug
the day, and kept it up tor seven mouths,
when my limb was healed up just the
same aa if I never bad trouble. It is
eight months now since I stopped using
Cuticura Hetnedies, the best on God'
earth. I am working at the present day,
after five years of suffering. The cost of
Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $ti,
but the doctors' bills were more like $400.
