Stir European Scientists.
London. March 25. Lieutenant Er
nest II. Shaekleton's achievements and
discoveries In the antarctic region havt
brought a cliorus of praise and admi
ration from other explorers, geogra
phers and scientists.
Louis Charles BernacchL who wa
physicist to the Discovery antarctic ex
pedition In I'JOl-GM, says that Shackle
ton's sledge Journey of 120 days undei
the conditions was one of the most
magnificent feats in the annals o)
polar exploration.
A man working In the arctics re
quires thirty-six ounces of food dally,
but the Shackleton party cut them
selves down to twenty ounces. Whal
that means, he declared, only those
experienced can understand. Two hun
dred and fifty pounds dragged by eacb
man was a fearful load.
Sir. Beroacchl Is of the opinion thai
the geological and other results of the
expedition corroborate the belief that
the antarctic region was at some re
mote period far wanner than It Is now
and also that the signs of less severe
glaclatlon show that the climate It
growing warmer and that the Ice car
on the antarctic continent Is diminish
ing and receding.

Ladies of Official Circle Present Dia
mond Necklace to Hor.
Several days before Mrs. Roosevelt
(eft the White House a number of her
most Intimate friends presented her
with a beautiful diamond necklace
which was purchased with funds rais
ed by subscription among the ladles
who have "been most closely associated
with her during her residence In the
White House.
The collection of the fund, tho pur
sbasc of the gift and its presentation
have all been guarded carefully by
those interested in making the present,
and It was their Intention to have pre
vented any publicity In connection
with It. But it has become known
that Miss May Williams, daughter of
the late C. A. Williams of New Lon
don, Conn., had acted as the treasurer
of the fund and that Mrs. L. Z. Letter
had headed the list of subscribers. It
is understood that the amount raised
for the purchase of the necklace was
several thousand dollars.
The first Christmas after Mr. Roose
velt became president the ladies of th&
cabinet, most of whom had held a sim
ilar relation toward Mrs. McKinlcy,
carried out a custom of that time by
making a combined Christmas present
to tho president's wife. After consid
erable consultation a gold jiursc was
decided upon. Mrs. John Hay was the
custodian of the fund on that occasion,
and Mrs. Root, Mrs. Gage and Mrs.
Hitchcock were among the contribu
tors. When Mrs. Cleveland was leaving
the White House for the secoud time
the ladies of the cabinet presented her
with a superb ring In diamonds and
sapphires, which has been one of her
most prized possessions ever since.
Only the ladies o'f tho cabinet were
represented In this gift, which was
made so quietly that no one but Mrs.
Cleveland and her Immediate circle
knew anything about It.
THE BANNER GIRL
American Women the Most Charming
Creatures In the World.
American girls have won the reputa
tion of being the most charming in the
world. This is due not so much to
surpassing physical beauty as to man
ner and expression.
The girl who has learned the art of
controlling her features perfectly has
gained a great advantage over other
members of her sex. As she uses her
features, so she may be described as
beautiful or plain, Interesting or com
monplace, refined or otherwise. This
art is almost an instinct with Ameri
can girls.
A perfectly placid countenance, rarely
Brightened by expression, Is too apt to
Jenote insipidity. On the other hand,
there are women who glory in the ex
jcum's of expression. Between the two
there. Is a happy medium that should
be cultivated.
A common error into which many
?lrls fall Is that of opening the mouth
wide and raising the brows which, by
the way, causes the forehead to wrin
kle in a manner that In time Fcores
permanent furrows In order to ex
press pleasure.
Far more attractive is the woman
who sniiles with a slight parting of
the lips, at the same time raising the
brows ever so little.
To knit the brows In marked disap
proval is extremely unbecoming, for
expressions of anger and scorn do not
sit well on a woman's countenance.
Easily Explained.
Miss Chatters It surprises me to see
what a small man your brother Is.
He's no more than half your size. .
Mr. Patters Yes, but he's only my
half brother, you know; Judge.

Anthracite Miners Begin Their Con
vention In Scranton, Pa.
Scranton, Pa., March 23 y Unless the
trl-dlstrlct convention of anthracite
miners which began In this city today
adopts plans for making further efforts
to obtain from the coal companies a
new agreement to take the place of the
one which expires March 31 a strike
of the hard coal miners will probably
result
"Recognition of our union Is out
point upon which we shall statid fast."
said President Thomas L. Lewis of the
United Mine "Workers. "Our other de
mands arc reasonable and just and
should be granted by the operators, but
the matter upon which we arc united
and In entire harmony is recognition
of our organization. The demand of
the miners for recognition of the union
imposes no hardship on the operators."
The present agreement between the
miners and the operators was made In
1900, to run three years. The operators
assert their willingness to renew the
agreement, but declare that they can
not grant the present demands of the
miners for shorter hours and higher
wages without increasing the price of
conl. This they declare themselves un
willing to do, in view of present Indus-!
trial conditions. The operators havcj
also come out for the "open shop."

do duty another season too late in the
spring. It Is more economical to buy
a cheap lightweight suit rather than
risk the dust and general shabbiness
of wearing a good cloth one on hot
days.
A box of clean sand kept in the
kitchen will be found excellent for
hasty cleaning of blackened pots, pans
and rusty knives.
When the handles have pulled oft
the lids of pots or pans cut n spool
In half and fasten It to the lid with
a screw aud nut.
Glass shelves and towel rods in a
bathroom save the time and temper of
the cleaner. The chief objection to
these fixings is the cost. If one
watches marked down sales they can
often be picked up at half price.
A delightful fragrance that is not
oppressive can be given a sickroom
by putting a little cologne In a saucer
and setting fire to It.

How to Present Mutuaj Friends Who
Are Strangers.
Strangers who go to cities -where
their friends nave acquaintances are
frequently given cards or letters of
introduction. To thus present two
friends is one of the most gracious
acts that can be performed by & third
person and is not one which should
be asked save under exceptional con
ditions. If a person wishes to bring
together others who are strangers the
suggestion will be made without re
quest from the one who Is going away.
However simple it may seem to ask
for introductions, it is a matter on
which none can be too particular.
There may be some reasons, unknown
to outsiders, which would make it
extremely awkward to ask one friend
to go to see another, and yet to refuse
such a request is. almost Impossible.
I
When one woman is being presented ,
by letter to another it Is customary for
the friend who knows the other two
to write the third and tell her that
Mrs. or Miss So-and-so will be In town
at such a time and will go to sec her.
She may, if she likes, inclose the
stranger's card with the new address
on It, that the old resident may know
where to go. Then when the stranger
arrives in town she sends her own
visiting card, with that of the friend
who Is making the Introduction, to the
other whom she wishes to know. The
first visit should le paid nt once by the
old resident. If, a man is being intro
duced be follows the same line, send
ing his visiting card with the address
on It to the woman upon whom he has
been invited to call. He is not ex
pected, however, to pay his visit until
she has written that she would like to
have him come. This leaves the wom
an the option of refusing bis acquaint
ance if she chooses, although such a
situation rarely occurs. On receipt of
bis visiting card the woman writes
that she will be happy to sec him, and
It Is rather expected that she will set
a time for his call; otherwise be
might arrive when she Is out. If It
should happen that the man cannot
go at the time appointed, he should
write a note Explaining that a previous
engagement prevents and that he will
give himself the pleasure of going
shortly, trusting to find the woman at
home. If a man or a girl has a busi
ness letter of Introduction, it should
be sent into the office with the visiting
card and not taken In by the person
who Is being presented. The latter
way makes it necessary for the stran
ger to wnlt while the letter Is being
read In his or her presence, while If if
precedes it is read before he or she
goes in.
RHEUMATIC TWINGES.
Before These Pains Get a Hold Take
Precautions.
Rheumatism is now considered by
many doctors to be a blood disease and
should be treated by rigid dieting.
Medicines, at least In the first stages,
are less effective than curbing the ap
petite. if one is of rheumatic tendency she
should eat little or no red meat, cut
out sugar, bread, sweets and .acid
fruits and should drink plenty of wa
ter. .
This may seem like a severe treat
ment for a small complaint, at the first
only twinges. Neglected, they mean
untold suffering, often complete dis
ablement. It would be a good thing for those
of us who are inclined to take rheu
matic twinges lightly to recall the defi
nition of tho late Dr. Spurgeon, him
self a great sufferer from rheumatism
and gout, "If you put your hand Into
a vise and let n man press as hard as
ho can, that Is rheumatism; If he can
be got to press a lltle harder, It Is
gout."
Before that vise gets such a hold It
cannot be loosed, take precautions.
Dieting may not be pleasant, but It Is
pleasanter than being a rheumatic vic
tim with only oneself to blame.
An Aid to Composition.
"Do you find that dictating to a ste
nographer Is nu economy of time?"
"Yes," answered tho eminent author.
"It saves you the trouble of looking in
the dictionary to see bow long words
are spelled." Washington Star.
