Gabriel replied only by taking some pink gum from his mouth and wrap ping it In a dirty scrap of birch bark; then be looked at the suitcase again. My eyes, too, wore magneted back to It. "Look here," he whispered, draw ing too close and leering horribly; "you know I'm a poor man. All the inowshoes I made last winter only brought me in $80, and that's gone. And, besides, you know I'm onto you and your game." Here he stopped, ware that the glint of his eyes was more eloquent than word3.

One of the pretty and attractive fads in Paris which is fast gaining hold here is the wearing of artificial flowers for corsage decorations. This Is not for the evening, but for dally use. The flowers are wonderfully natural, and really look as though they had Just been plucked in the garden or the greenhouse. There are lovely orchids, with a few Bprays of maidenhair fern Interspersed. Clusters of bluets, with a few of the long, swordlike leaves, make up an other stunning bouquet. Gardenias are used singly or In bunches of three. Carnations of all colors and of the big variety are used singly; so are roses. And so might be enum erated the entire list of the florists' shops. The flower must be selected to harmonize with the color of tho costume or with the hat, and there fore the modish woman has half a dozen different kinds of corsage bou quets. The real beauty lies In their freshness, and so soon as they show the least signs of wear others muBt be purchased to replace the old and faded ones. Indeed, the up-to-date woman looks upon the present of a box containing half a dozen bouquets of artificial flowers with as much favor as she has always regarded the finest and freshest of the greenhouse variety.

Bonnets for elderly women ore fre quently made of Neapolitan braids or plaques, crushed and folded Into shape over a fitted wire frame. sisters of a largo family, womanhood bad its chance.. "Now, when the only child becomes less and less of a rarity, the putting together of boys and girls while they are little, in circumstances where by natural, wholesome degrees they may live out natural, wholesome lives this association becomes even more a necessity. "We separate them rigidly from each other while they are young; we separate them during all the time when association with each other would bring everything of good In each to the other, and we throw them together again at an age when, by the very force of this unnatural separation, they have learned to look upon each other wrongly and falsely. "What I see as a danger to certain young women of to-day is a growing aversion from the consideration of falling In love and of marriage, which seems to me to be a very unfortu nate characteristic. "The modern girl who takes life, and especially her school life, seri ously issues forth from her school with a supreme contempt of young men; she won't look at anyone under fifty. Young men as we generally see them may not be very much to look at, but at any rate they are the natural companions of young women, and more and more the seriously ed ucated girl of to-day is getting to de spise the Idea of marriage as some thing beneath contempt. "I submit that this Is a very great pity, and here again one feels that Ignorance must be at the back of the contempt. A girl with a lot of broth ers that Is, If she is given any chance of making their' acquaintance by meeting them at home la never contemptuous of lad3 and young men. USES OF THE EUCALYPTUS. They Range From Tlmlier to Cough Drops Only the Hark Wasted Kow, Since the Introduction of .tho euca lyptus Into California from Australia its friends have been trying to push its cultivation by making known the .ninny uses to which it may be put. It Is declared that eucalyptus wood is suited to all purposes for which hard woods are used. Barring the countless other uses to which It is adapted, as a means to reimburse the forest supply alone eucalyptus is invaluable to the coun try, it Is asserted. Then the euca lyptus is valuable in windbreaks for orchards and dwellings, for land re clamation, for conservation of water, Improvement of climate and as nat ural antitoxins to malarial germs. The beauty of the grain, the color and the texture of eucalyptus, rival ling many species of oak, has led to Its popularity as a furniture product. Offices and residences have been finished with the wood, and cabinet makers and wood workers throughout the country have been led to make a practical study of the eucalyptus wood as a finishing product. Much of the fuel consumed In Cali fornia Is eucalyptus wood, which re tails at from $10 to $14 a California cord. For fuel the fastest growing varieties are planted. Of the kinds planted for other purposes the weak ling trees, llnilia and waste are util ized as firewood. In house construction, mining tim ber, flooring ami street paving euca lyptus has assumed Importance, and for miscellaneous uses, for posts, tele graph poles, railroad ties, piles, bridge timber, wagon tongues, spokes, handles for implements and tools, logs for corduroy roads and lnsulatot pins the popularity of eucalyptus is growing. Eucalyptus blossoms yield profit to the beekeepers. An oil is distilled from the leaves and Is used as a com pound for many medicines. An ex tract from the leaves forms the foundation for cou?h syrups. The buds are used iu making portieres and souvenirs. Efforts are being made to find a use for every portion of the euca lyptus tree even for the bark, which so far is waste. New York Sun. Household Affairs f Malting Is Effective.

The finger-print method of the Bertlllon measurement system of Identifying suspected criminals is probably to be supplanted by photo graphed records of the back of the hand. Cases have been reported where clever malefactors have de ceived police officials by scarring and disfiguring the tips of their fingers and thereby rendering detection from that source impossible. The network of veins on the back of the hand is different In every per son, and by means of these individual configurations infallible marks of Identification are furnished. With out danger of fatal injury it ia Im possible to mutilate these veins by branding or otherwise disfiguring the flesh of 'he hand. By allowing the hand to hang loosely, or by stop ping the circulation of the blood for a few moments with a ligature about the wrist, the veins will stand out prominently on the back of the hand and may be then clearly photo graphed and the picture preserved for future reference and lndentlfl cation.
