Men often wore the hlmatton alona.
Without chiton. The chhunya, anothei

taarteoed by a brooch no that one cornet

with or without the chMon. It la espe

Occasionally Diana, or an Amazon,'
wears the chlamys, but It la the dis
tinctive garment of the young Greek.
Bands, belts and fillets were much
worn. Men and women wound fillets
around their heads. Women wore, of
ten under their chiton, a breast band
adjusted below the bosom, not to com
press the form, but to protect the or
gans. Indeed, there was no tempta
tion to compress the waist, the flowing
drapery Telling the waist The band
which confined the short, or caught up
the long chiton, waa also of cloth, but
the outer belt, holding In the loose
folds of the upper part of the long chi
ton, was often of gold enrlohed with
Jewels, and always beautifully adorn
ed. Great care was taken of the hair; In
deed, a mysterious virtue was suppos
ed to He in the locks, which, carefully
washed and perfumed, were one of
the bodily grace of the Greek. Women
often wore elaborate head-dresses;
many were revived In the latter pari
of the Eighteenth century and the first
of the Nineteenth. Out of doors the
head was covered either by folds of
the peplos brought over the head and
around the throat, or by a separate
veil, sometimes thick, sometimes thin,

Unnecessary Noise.'
Thts Is a noisy world. AH nature's
operations arc .accompanied by more
or less nol.se, so that even In "the quiet
country" uninterrupted silence seldom
reigns. In the city the din Is almost
insupportable; it has Increased very
much during the last helf century be
cause of the vast amount of machinery
employed, and the use of electric and
steam power. Now night brings the
city no respite, and how much of the
nervousness and Insomnia of the pres
ent decade Is due to this Increase of
noise might be an Interesting subject
for the study of sanitarians. Human
ity adjusts Itself usually to all neces
eary noises, and even becomes so ac
customed to certain sounds that many
cannot sleep when the noise ceases,
l'ho noise which Is most disturbing Is
that heard close at hand and unusual.
A few nights of sleeplessness a short
lime ngo 1m1 me to think the slummlug
of doors with creaking hinges, the nit.
tling of blinds, creaking shoes, with
noisy, heavy walking, were the most
distracting nnd annoying noises. Next
to this Is loud conversation and whis
pering. The Inventor of a noiseless
shoe, nnd elastic door casings, which
will enable people to shut or slam
Soors hard yet without noise, will con
fer a great boon upon nervous human
ity. In the meantime, all persons, es
pecially at night, should wear felt or
?ork-soled or other soft sllpjers. All
Joors and locks should ho kept well
ailed, and every one should try to cul
:lvate the art of shutting doors as noise
lessly as possible.
The Capitol's Weather Map.
The Immensity of the rotunda Im
presses the visitor at the Capitol, the
frescoes are attractive, the turbulence,
of the House and the quiet dignity ot
the Senate are Interesting 111 their con
trast, but, after all, the feature of uni
versal Interest lu the white-domed
building Is the weather apparatus. It
Is something novel to glance at a map
which tells you whether It Is raining ot
snowing, suntililuy or cloudy In Mon
tana, Illinois or IxHibilnna, or any
where else in tills broad laud. You can
tell whether the frlomls whom you left
nt home are wearing mackintoshes oi
airing their spring clothes under blue
sUles, while even the temperature and
Uie direction of the wind ar recorded.
But the map la not the only feature.
There Is something mysterious In the
cabalistic characters which are traced
on revolving cylinders, and which tell
at a glance how hot or cold It Is, or how
hard the wind Is blowing, or whether
the sun Is shining. The Instruments
which furnish the Information are up
on the roof of the Capitol, but delicate
wires, charged with electricity convey
the weather to Uie equally delicate In
struments within the building. All day
long a crowd of interested vWtors at
the Capitol throng around the pretty
mechanism and never ceoso to wonder
at the progress of the oge.

of the cotton consumed ly the world for the

ungodly banquet the keeu sword of God's
Judgment bungs, ami there are ominous
handwritings on the walls.
Observe also in this sulilect how renelllnc
sin is when appended to great attractive
ness. Hlnee Eve's death there has been no
sueh perfection of womanhood. You could
not suggest an nttrnctiveiiess to the body
or suggest nny refinement to t lie milliner.
You could add no gracefulness to the gnlt,
no luster to the eye. no sweetness to tho
voice. A perfect God iiiado her n perfect
woman, to be the companion of n perfect
nmn In a perfect home, and her entire na
ture vibrated in neeord with the beauty nnd
song of paradise. Hut she rebelled ngninst

sin appended to superior education and to

powerful contrast her uiinppeasalilo nmbl-

uullllcntlons tor n queen, make the more
isgustiiig her cnprii'loiisness ot ufTectloii
uud her hotness of temper. The greatness

J.et no ouo think that refinement of man

My sulilect also impresses mo with the
regal inlluenco of woman. When I sue Eve
with this powerful Influence over Adam
nnd over the generations thnt have fol-
owed, it suggests to me the greut power nil
women have for good or for evil. I have
no sympathy, nor huvtiyou, with thu hoi-
ow llatteries showeriHl upon women from
tho platform and tho stage. They mean
nntliliig; Uiey aro accepted ns nothing.
Woman's nobility consists in the o.xcrelBO
of a Christian influence, nnd when 1 see
this powerful Inlluenco of Eve upon her

make up my mind thnt the frail arm of
woman can strike a blow which will resound

A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL HAS
NERVOUS PROSTRATION.
VIM Bavtvifyiat: EflfccU of Trvfww Mm
Faos Icmoastitd.
from the JCra, Bradford, Pa.
Several months ago. Miss Cora Watrons,
the sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr. I. 0.
Watrous. locomotive Hit-man. of 61 Clarion
Street, Bradford, l'enna., waa seized With a
nervous disorder which threatened to end
her life. The first symptom of the aliment
waa a lose of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire to eat aad com
plained of a feeling ot extreme lassitude.
This was followed by severe pains In the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly erased with a terrible headache and
nothing eould be procured to give her re
lief, i
finally, after trying numerous remedies,
a physician was called and began treating
the patient. Ue said the trouble was
caused by Impoverished blood, but after
several weeks ot his treatment the young
lady's condition had not Improved aud the
parents ueciuea to procure the services ol
another physician. lathe meantime Mist
Watrous' nert ousness had increased, the
pains in her head bad grown more severe
and the sufferer's parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery.
It was at this timethat Mr. Watrous heard
ot vr. Williams' rink Pills for Pale l'oople.
He found that the pills were highly recom
mended for nervous disorders und con
cluded to give them a trial. A box of the
pills was purchased and before they had all
been taken there was a marked I'm prove
ment in the girl s condition. After a half
doson boxes had been used, the young
lady's appetite bad returned, the puin iu
her head bad ceased and she was stronger
than at any time previous to her illness.
Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was
complete and left borne for a visit to rela
tives in tho grape country nar Dunkirk.
N. Y. She stopped titklug the medicine ami
by over-exertion brought the ailment hack
again. As soon as the returning symptoms
wuro felt. Miss Wiitroussociircd another tun
of pills and the Illness was soon driven
away. She Is now in better physical con
dltion than she bus been for veurs and de
clares that Blio owes her UtotoDr. Wllliuuis'
l'iuk Pills.
Mr. und Mrs. Watrous were Interviewed
by n reporter nt their homo on Clarion

Alex McCluro of the Philadelphia Times
says: "The two boldest men he knows are
John Wnnnuninker ot Philadelphia uud
Tilly Ilnyues of boston, lloth went to New
York. Mr. Wannamaker took tho Htewurt
property, the II nest dry gbodsstoro in the.
world, and Mr, llnyiies took tho grunt
llromtway Central Hotel, the largest In
the city. Hut dry rot had crept Into both
of these maKiilllcent properties uud no one
dared to grasp them, until John Wiinnn
maker took one and Tilly Ilnyues the other.
A complete and unqualified success has
orowued the efforts of both. Verily u good
reputation Is better than riches."
