Men In love are delighted to be told that they are never absent from the thoughts of their sweethearts, but the husband finds this conscious ness a trifle wearing. As bad as the clinging vine Is the woman who makes her devotion too Incessant. 8he is never tactful, never con scious that he wants to bo alono oc casionally, never capable of making herself and her affections a novelty to him, says Woman's Life.

Necklace of Eyes. Mrs. Curtis, the. wife of a Chicago journalist, possesses a grewsome necklace, which was exhibited at the World's Fair. The necklace Is com posed of three rows of hnman eyes In a perfect state of preservation, polished and mounted In gold. The eyeB were obtained from Peru, where the dead are burled In a sitting posi tion, and the hot, dry air acts more effective than any embalming fluid in preserving them. A mummy can there bo obtained for a sovereign, and the t-j'es alone are much cheaper. Polished and mounted as they are In this necklace, they make a very striking ornament. Mrs. Curtis only wore the necklace once, and It was much admired until her frlendB were Informed that they were petrified human eyes and not gems that were set In it, when the admiration turned t- repulsion. Tit-Bits. Air Ten Miles Above The Earth. The curiosity of the modern man of science knows no bounds. One of his latest exploits Is trapping and bringing down to the ground with the aid of an automatic apparatus attached to a balloon specimens of the upper air from the height of al most 10 miles. The appnratus and the experiment were of French In vention, and at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences In Paris not long ago Professor d'Aublgnac re ported the result of the analysis of the captured air. It simply showed that at the height of 51,000 feet above sea level the composition of the atmosphere prac tically is the same as at the sur face of the earth, although its den sity, of course, Is comparatively slight.

During the years Immediately pre ceding my first and, for me, my most memorable visit to Europe, the late Marquis of Normanby was Governor of Victoria. At that time I was re garded in Melbourne as a very good amateur pianist, much In request for private parties, at which I always played, and on very rare occasions also sang. At one of these functions, given at Government house, I gave some sonss between the pianoforte selections, and the Marchioness of Normanby, in thanking me, said: "Child, some day you will give up the piano for singing, and then you will become famous." That was the Blm plo comment that set me seriously thinking of a career as a singer. I had always felt that I would become a professional in music pianist, or ganist, violinist, perhaps, but some thing in music, at any rate; but from that moment I knew in an Irresistible way that I was to be a singer. From Nellie Melba's "The Gift of Song," in Century. entertain bitterness and resentment without affecting one's ontlre life. By haughtiness, Isolation and tardy forgiveness some of life's sweetest pleasures are denied those Indescribable moments of reconciliation. There are certain forms of wrong that can, however, never be fully atoned for, but Aristotle says that "friends whose friendship has been' broken off should not entirely for get their former Intercourse, and that just as we hold that we ought to serve friends before strangers, bo also have former friends some claims upon us on the ground of past friendship, unless extraordinary depravity were tho cause of our part ing." If we cannot, when necessary, sacrifice or even humiliate ourselves to forgive and regain love. It Is diffi cult to see where possible affection ever existed. The renewal ot a pleasant Intercourse, prompted by a generous forgiveness, brings incal culable joy. Philadelphia Bulletin. "Don't Kiss nahles." "Don't kiss the babies" was the slogan of the several hundred mem bers of woman's clubs from all parts of the country who met to form the Woman's Auxiliary to the Anti-Tuberculosis League at Atlantic City, N. J. Male scoffers at the meeting at tempted to pass a resolution that kissing be cut out altogether as a dangerous mode of spreading disease germs, but were voted down by the younger women in the organization. Franklin Dye, Secretary of the New Jersey State Board of Agricul ture, who was there to tell of the State's work In killing off diseased milch cowb, started the ball rolling by demanding that the "Don't kiss the baby" sign be hung in every household. This, he said, would bar out aunties, couslnB and callers from planting kisses on the mouths of the little darlings. "All the work of the Slate In getting puro milk will be thrown away," he said, "if tubercu losis fs to he Bpread by allowing the youngsters to be hugged and kissed." Secretary Dye received applause, but when Dr. J-. S. Perth, a Western delegate with a wealth of whiskers, offered a resolution that the Bociety commit Itself to a mdvement to sup press kissing at all ages, he was received with cold silence. "Kissing is dangerous at all times, and I know a whole family that has been wiped out by disease first com municated by osculation," he said. After the defeat of the antt-klss-lng measure, Dr. Perth proposed that sweethearts carry a special brand of perfumed germicide for use when kissing, but this was also received coldly. The Woman With the Pipe By WINTFRED BLACK. A Minneapolis woman is having the time of her life horrifying the In nocent passers-by by strolling np and down the main thoroughfares of her native city smoking a large and en thuBlastlc brtarwood pipe. She says she hates to smoke, and can't bear the smell of tobacco, and she's just smoking In public to show the men of Minneapolis that a woman has as much right to smoke bb they have. How Interesting! Have women the same right to smoke as men? Why, of course, they have. A woman has as much right to smoke or to drink, or to chew tobarco or to use naughty words, or to put her feet on the table when she talks, or to stand up In the back of the theatre with her hat In her hand, or to get up and give her seat in the street car to another woman as a man has to do any of these very com monplace things. Why don't women do these things, then? For the sim ple reason that they don't want to do them. Men have just as much right to eat chocolates, give teas and sit on the veranda and mako tatting as women have. They don't do it, do they? Why should they? They don't want to that's why. The American woman does not want to smoke, my dear Minneapolis madam. If she did, she'd do it; and Bhe would not need you to lead her on to a big victory, either. What absurd nonsense this Idea of a war for rights between tho sexes is any how! If I were a nice, rosy peach, grow ing on a nice, wholesome peach tree, I'd do my best to be as rosy and as wholesome and peachy as I could. I wouldn't worry about tho apple tree that grew next to me. I'd be a peach, and I wouldn't want to look or seem in any way the least bit like even the prettiest, rosiest apple in the whole orchard. If I were a man, I'd bo a man and not an Imitation of a woman, and as long as I'm a woman I'm going to do the things that women like to do, and if anybody calls mo i downtrodden slave for minding my own affairs, in my own way why, that's for them to worry about and not for me. When I get so that I want to smoke a pips I'll cut my hair, put on a pair of trousers, and begin to look pleas ant at every pretty girl I meet. Until then, thank you, Madam Min neapolis, you may smoke your pipe alone for all of me. New York American. TWO TERniBLE YF-ABR. The Unwelcome Woman. She is always so sorry the paper hanger cheated her hostess by not hanging the new paper correctly or she knows o' wonderful bargalus in rugs where her hostess could have got much handsomer one6 than she now has at half the price. She insists upon coming out to the kitchen if she finds her hostess busy and a greater nuisance never exists. She runs in to stay a few minutes and she stays hours, watch ing her hoBtesB blunder through cakemaking or gives advice whilo the bread need3 attention. When the cake or bread 1b a flat failure, she goes to some other cor ner of the house to hlnfler some other work.

There are 4,833,630 women in this country, sixteen years and over, ac cording to the census ot 1900, who earn their daily bread. The number has doubled In twenty years, and only nine occupations are now ex empt from woman's presence. Less than a quarter of these women are In domestic service.. This means that the "servant girl problem" con cerns at flrct hand u population of only nbout a million women. The number of families in this country, according to the census of 1900, cannot be more than 16,531, 626, that figure including all mar ried women as well as 2,717,839 widows. It follows that only about one family In fifteen can keep a do mestlo servaut. The servant girl problem concerns, then, only a small fraction of the population. It has assumed a factitious Importance be auuse tho women who write voice rather their own grievances than the general experience of their sex. Most wage earners in this coun try cannot support two, women. That Is a practical obstacle to polygamy, as well as to the universality of the servaut girl problen). Ouly a small proportion of men can ever be em ployers. The same ). true of women Just as It Is the destiny of most men to earn their bread directly by their hands or wits, so it Is the des tiny of most women to manage their households in person, with omy oc casional assistance. New York Mall. Broken Friendships. Forgiveness breeds sweetness In the heart, and lack of it colors every uoble characteristic, for ono cannot Even the sailor hat has the droop brim. The black stockings which have colored embroidery are meant for wear with black satin slippers. The black stockings embroidered with white are newer and are con sidered more desirable. The newer embroidered linen belts have a good deal of color introduced into them by way of the handiwork. The butterfly is the much-used mo tive of the hour and has quite put the peacock feather out of commis sion. Black, snuff-brown and hunter's green, In the order given, are the fashionable colors in Paris for rid ing habits. The newest jet trimmings mingle dull and bright beads and sequins in bold, raised designs and the bugle again plays a leading part among them. Whether your frock Is of Uuen or gingham, if you are very smart you will wear with it bag, belt and para sol to match, each neatly decorated with braiding. As spectacular a style as has come to light in many a day Is that of making little French shaped coats of cretonne, borderlnc them with pleatlngs of taffeta. Velvet collar and cuffs seem to be the correct finish for all linen suit coats. Black Is the favorite for white and light-blue suits, but a soft rich brown is used on tho suit of natural color. In spite of the very great popular ity of black openwork stockings dur ing two years past they are still sufficiently in fashion's favor to be included among the fashions for the season. Black and prune striped voile over a foundation of prune colored satin with an interlining ot old rose moussellne forms one ot the softest and most unusual combinations for a handsome afternoon gown, worn with great success at a recent Paris reception. But Nothing Was Said. The traveling correspondent was vigorously clicking tbc typewriter he carried with him. The roan who had made himself narvous by drinking booze the night before, aud who sat just behind the writer man in -the purlor-car, was fidgeting about and looking daggers every time the ma cnlne started to click. Finally the traveling man, who was a trifle nervous himself, turned to the other traveler aud said: "For heaven's sake quit thinking it, and just come right out and say this noise bothers you, so 1 can tell you in reply that my noise Isn't any more annoylug to you than your stale-boot breath lb to me!"

The use of special steels for rivets was the subject of a communication to the Paris Academy of Sciences lately by M. G. Charpy. A syste matic study of the thermal and me chanical properties of various alloys f steel has led to the use of a chrome nickel steel for rivets, the strength of which Is 2.5 times that of the metal usually employed for this pur pose, and this without the need ot any spoclnl precautious In practical use.

Our creditors ought to organize a Don't Worry Society. We are constantly adding wings to our castles in tho air. The cost of experience Is generally money well Invested. A girl doesn't need a fountain pen to write a gushing letter. It isn't until a man lives to learn that he really learns to live. Besides gathering no moss, u roll ing stone gravitates down hill. It Ib when duty calls that we are apt to send word that we are out. A woman may regard marriage as a tie, but It is never tongue-tied. The trouble with the average bread-winner Is that he wants cake. A man doesn't necessarily have to marry In haste to repent at leisure. Marriage Is a lottery, and the only lucky gamblers are those who don't play. Brevity Is the soul of wit, which is perhaps why so few preachers are witty. You couldn't broaden out sonu men by running over them with a steam roller. When a girl refuses a fellow and he doesn't go to the bad it is a bitter blow to her pride. Tho pure-food people should get onto the fact that moBt of the love is adulterated with filthy lucre. There's a lot of differenco between forgetting what we ought to know and knowing what we ought to for get. When a man likes to be different from other people, the other people are generally quite satisfied to have him so. Many a statesman loves his coun try with the disinterested affection felt by a foreign nobleman for an American heiress. From the "Gentle Cynic," in the New York Tlmoa M. Baylac, a French physiologist, has Just reported on an exhaustive study of oysters both from the ocean and Inclosed seas, undertaken to de termine whether there war, any foun dation for the Idea that the bivalves were infected by the typhoid and oth er poisonous germs and were the i means of causing serious Illness In people who eat them. He concluded that the typhoid microbe by no means Infected the oyster. In the rare cases where the oyster absorbed the germ through pollution of the oyster beds it eliminated it again in a day or two when transferred to pure sea water or when removed from the water altogether. FOR COAST DEFENSE. Plans For New Fourteen-Inch Calibre Gun Now Completed. The War Department has com pleted plans for a new type of four-teen-lnch-callbre gun, which will .be added to the existing coast defense system. Work on the new weapons will be commenced at the Watervllet Arsenal at an early date. It has not yet been determined, however, says Harper's Weekly, whether the guns will be of the ordinary built-up forged steel type or of the more mod- 1 ern wire-wound construction. ThlB new gun, while fully two Inches larger In calibre than the reg ulation coast defense gun of the first grade, will be smaller in every other measurement and ot lighter weight. The intention Is toconstruct a weapon with a range and striking force equal to the present standard twelve-Inch gun, but which will greatly exceed the limited life of that gun. The expensive twelve-Inch gun now in use will not bo displaced by the l new fourteen-lnch gun, but the new ! type will be supplied whenever there are additions to the defenses. It Is insisted by the department that tho first cost of tho new gun will be con siderably less than that of the twelve inch gun, while the addition to the life of tho weapon will result in still further inoreased economy. Tbc Bottlo Trick. R. E. H., Springboro, Pa., asks: "Hor Is It possible to pour from one and the same bottle various kinds of liquids?" Answer. This bottle trick Is per formed like this: Have on your table a glass pitcher filled with clear water, to which add a great spoonful of strong sulphuric acid. Now present to the company a champagne bottle and a glass funnel and say to your audience: "This pitcher contains water and the bottle is empty." Pour the nciil water In the bottle by means of the funnel and then produce four tumblers and onu champagne glass. In one tumbler have some cocttineal, in the second cochineal and saleratus, In the third a few drops of Goulard's extract of lead; the fourth tumbler must contain a small quautlty of a solution of cochineal. In the cham pagne glass put a pinch of saleratus, uud have a fifth tumbler clean. Now pour gome water from the bottle Into tho first glass, and It will look like wino you may taste a few drops without fear; pour water fro mthe bottle into the second glass and It will have tho appearance of porter; the acid water in the third glass wiU produce a fluid like milk; pour some into the fourth glass and It will have the appearauoo of brandy. The fifth tilass ot water will remain In Its clear state. Pour the rest of tbo add water into the champagne glass and It will look like the famous sparkling wine. After the performance break the bot tle and show that It Is empty aud contains no secrot coiunar Intents. New York Tribune. Aeronautic Schools in Europe. A livelier interest In aerial naviga tion, both for diversion and for mili tary purposes, has been felt In France than In any other country. Many people there own balloons of the old fashioned type (mere drifting gas bags), with various modern improve ments, and a few possess self-propelled airships of one kind or anoth er. Owing to the increasing Interest In this pursuit a school was started In Paris more than a year ago to givo instruction in the construction and use of airships. From a consular re port received In Washington a few weeks ago, it appears that a similar Institution Is to be opened In Chem nitz., Germany, neit May. A course extending through a single year is contemplated. At first It will relate only to balloons, but it is to bo ex tended to aeroplanes alBo when enough useful models ot the second clasB have been supplied. The successive divisions of instruc tion during tho year's course are as follows: Calculation of volume of bal loons, methods of cutting the mate rial, methods of rendering the mate rial impermeable, construction of nets, gases used for inflation, the general theory of balloon construction and use, scientific Instruments used In balloon ascensions, meteorological observations, ascents alone, ascents with passengers, methods of landing and the application of airships. The tuition for i year'a course is 600 murks, or $143. 411 Sorts of Remedies Fallot, .n Cure Eczema Sufferer Tried Cuticura anil la Entirely tHirrd.
