Lead Pipe for the Razor.
"Lead pipe will keep your razor
sharp," confided the garrulous barber.
"Get a short piece of the smallest,
eofest lead pipe your plumber, has In
stock and keep It handy when you am
stropping the razor. The scheme la
to rub the strop with the pipe. Apply
the pipe, just as you would strop the
razor, to the unfinished side of the
leather. Strop your razor on that sido,
wind up with a few passes on the fin
ished side of the strop and you will
have a first-class edge on the tool. I
never took the trouble to get a scien
tific explanation of the virtues of lead
pipe as an aid to whetting, but It is
all to the good In that respect." Phil

Upon a way to make their . subjects
"look pleasant." After peering
through the apparatus and emerging
from under the black cloth the pho

you like a drink?" "Well, I don't
mind," says the man, with a pleased
smile. "What have you got?" "Beer,
whisky and wine," says the photogra
pher, and then, before the man can
Bay which he'll have, the camera does
Its duty. The "expression" of his
photograph ts always "lifelike."

Luxuries in Alaska.
A side light upon the mode of liv
ing In Alaska is given by stating the
fact that in Seattle recently 7,500
cases of canned cream, fifteen freight
oar loads, was ordered by one Seattle
firm from a single cannery for ship
ment to Alaska. This cream is really
milk condensed to about half its vol
ume, and It is very popular In Alaska.
The Alaskans drink it as they eat
bacon. .
In Juneau' the cold or so-called
"shut-In" months are enlivened with
club affairs, dances and social func
tions, at which the men are required
to wear dress suits. There are car
pets on the floors of the Alaskan log
huts, and the more pretentious houses
have almost all American luxuries.

Coffee Play on Soma,
It hardly pays to laugh before yon
are certain of facts, for it Is sometimes
humiliating to think of afterwards.
"When I was a young girl I was a
lover of coffee, but was sick so much
the doctor told me to quit and I did, but
after my marriage my husband begged
me to drink it again as he did not think
it was the coffee caused the troubles.
"So I commenced It again and con
tinued abogt 6 months until my stom
ach commenced acting bad and choking
as if I had swallowed something the
size of an egg. One doctor said It was
neuralgia and indigestion.
"One day I took a drive with my bus
band three miles in the country and I
drank a enp of coffee for dinner. I
thought sure I would die before I got
back to town to a doctor. I was drawn
double in the buggy and when my hus
band hitched the horse to get me out
into the doctor's office, misery came up
In my throat and seemed to shut my
breath off entirely, then left all in a
flash and went to my heart. The doc
tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble
end when I got borne I was so weak
I could not sit up.
"My husband brought my supper to
my bedside with a nice cup of hot
coffee, but I said: 'Take that back,
dear, I will never drink another cup of
coffee if you gave me everything you
are worth, for it Is just killing me.' Ho
and the others laughed at me and said:
" 'The idea of coffee killing anybody.'
" 'Well,' I sold, 'it is nothing else but
coffee that is doing it.'
"In the grocery one day my husband
was persuaded to buy a box of Postum
which he brought home and I made it
for dinner and we both thought how
good it was but said nothing to the
hired men and they thought they had
drank coffee until we inughod and told
them. Well, we kept on with Tostum

A Sweet Laugh,
A woman has no natural grace more
bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is
like the sound of flutes on the water.
It leaps from her heart in a clear,
sparkling rill, and the heart that hears
It feels as if bathed in the cool exhil
arating spring. How much we owe to
that sweet laugh! It turns the prose
of our life into poetry. It flings show
ers of sunshine over the darksome
wood in which we aretravellng. It
touches with light our sleep, which is
no more the Image of death, but
gemmed with dreams that are the sha
dow of Immortality. Woman's Life.
Taking Care of Your Clothes.
In considering your wardrobe do not
lay too much stress upon the money
saving qualities of the general-utility
gown. It's economy in the end not to
overwork one frock. Keep your street
costume exclusively forthepurposeifor
which it was designed. Don't wear it

your skirt is worn and shabby, wnue

original freshness. This just means
that the whole smart effect of your
street frock is lost. No matter how

provides the touch that makes the cos

White House China.
A valuable addition has been made
to the collection of presidential china
which Mrs. Roosevelt commenced soon
after her advent to the White House.
The addition consists of two dinner
plates of the famous Madison dinner
set. The plates were presented to the
collection by Mrs. J. Henley Smith of
this city. Mrs. Madison herself gave
them to Mr. Smith's father soon after
the death of Mr. Madison, with the re
mark that as they were used in the
president's house during her hus
band's administration time would
doubtless greatly increase their val
ue. The collection of presidential
ware for the White House cabinets
must necessarily be Blow, as the ut
most care is being taken to obtain
only authentic pieces that were owned
by presidents. Mrs. Abbey B. Baker,
who has the work of collecting the
ware in charge, has succeeded in see
ing the living descendants of 19 of the
25 presidents, the majority of whom
have promised either to give or loan
pieces of china or plate to tire collec
tion. It is earnestly hoped by presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt that the col
lection may be made complete in the
representation of at least one piece of
plate or ware from each administra
tion. Philadelphia Ledger.
The Woman of Original Ideas.
The woman of original ideas and a
love for novelty is quite In keeping
with the times those days, and, as
there is no decided style which must
be followed, anything which Is becom
ing and liable to create a sensation is
considered quite the thing. Hats and
gowns both are allowed to be im
proved upon by milady if she is tasty,
and almost anything, either in color
or cut is considered if it is becoming.
Large hats and small ones, long
gowns and short ones and fur coats
and silk ones are all Included in the
regime of fashionable ideas. When
the time comes for a decided fashion
there will undoubtedly be a revolt.
Women will have tasted the bliss of
being original and making their own
fashions, and they, most likely, will
not take kindly to be dictated to.
Even Dame Fashion may be wrong
sometimes and as she is not capable
of fashioning for all types of woman
hood, it is best as it is. There is not
one woman out of every 10 who does
not know just exactly what suits her,
and when given her own way with
styles and money she can generally
make herself attractive, and also
make others think so. There are
great possibilities in this season's
styles, and the foundation being
modes of the 1830 decade, we should
not experience much dnfficulty in de
signing new models on the plans of
the old ones.
Women's Hats from Wood Shavings.
It is not generally known that many
of the handsomest summer hats worn
by the ladies of this country are lit
erally made from wood "shavings."
The finest examples of this industry
are produced in Japan, theso wooden
ribbons appearing in many forms,
some of which have almost the deli
cacy and sheen of satin, while others
resemble soft and dainty crepes. Only
about 15 percent of the chip is ex
ported in the form of 'wood ribbons,
the remainder being worked into what
18 commercially known as chip braid,
and which is employed in the same
manner as straw braid, that la, for
bats, basketry and other fancy articles.
The exports in a single year from
Japan have amounted to over $050,
000, the United States being a large
buyer. The trade is steadily increas
ing, with a constantly growing de
mand, as the industry is comparative
ly new. While willow is considerably
used In Germany, the Japanese manu
facturers employ European poplar,
spruce, Chinese cypress cherry, buck
eye, paulonia, false hickory and some
other kinds of wood. The chip is pro
duced by planing with special tools,
the shavings being about 15 inches
long and one and a half in width. The
leading forms are known as crepe,
thin crepe, striped crepe, scaly crepe,
crimped crepe, network crepe, relief
figures, pushed, undulated, etc. The
product takes dyes readily, and is so
thin and flexible that daintiest effects
in millinery goods can be secured.
Scientific American.
A Questionable Innovation.
The rumor that a kind of school of
conversation has been started in the
west end sets one pondering whether,
after all, it is such a very fine thing
to be a good talker. Of late years the
American girl, whose chatter is inces
sant, has been held up as an 'example
in this respect to her English sister,
and one constantly hears this or that
girl described as one who is "always
bright and cheerful, and always has
something to say." Still, it is very
doubtful whether it is so very charm
ing to be.a chatterbox, and if conver
sation is going to be taught as a fine
nrt we shall doubtless have reason to
wish for the good old days to return,
when people did not "run on" quite
so fluently and have, smart answers
and anecdotes on the tips of their
tongues. Of course there are times
when we want people to talk, and
when lively and inconsequent chatter
acts as a tonic, but one is bound to
say it is with feelings of misgiving
that one thinks of a lime when we
may be all machine-made smart con
versationalists, when epigrams may
hang on every lip, when we shall all
be prepared at a moment's notice to
set the table "on a roar," and a fund
of funny stories and an ever-flowing
stream of breezy nothingness shall be
possessed by every educated woman in
the land. If it Is possible to teach
women to be smart and "cheery," It is
certainly not possible to teach those
inclined this way to keep that Bllence
which is so very sweet and pleasant
at times. The fact of the matter is,
ono cannot have people made to a pat
tern. A bright manner and a fluent
tongue are invaluable, but so also are
tlie gift of listening and that sympa
thetic stillness which is inexplicable
but so often of greater worth than
the loftiest eloquence. London Lady's
Pictorial.
Pins and Rings.
Women of fashion now adorn their
hats with splendid Jewels, namely,
brooches, enriched with pearls, dia
monds, or turquoises. In the same
line, long black claspt, destined to fix
the hat on the head, are very effective
In design. The newest effects are of
cbascd matt gold, adorned with rich
motifs representing birds or exquisite
floral decorations. Some of them are
simply decorated with a large tur
quoise or emerald framed with bril
liants. In the way of necklaces many new
and tasty patterns are to be seen.
Those composed of several rows of
pearls are still to the fore. The rows
of pearls are gathered together with
superb designs representing fine floral
decorations in brilliants. In this tak
ing line is noticed an original and
beautiful necklace consisting of two
snakes of chased matt gold with en
twined talis, while their heads are fac
ing each other, and seem to be biting
a dainty pink pearl. The top of the
head is adorned with a large diamond,
and rubies serve as eyes.
Back or side combs, hairpins, and
the like are extensively shown. In
this order let me mention a magnifi
cent diadem representing a spray of
flowers. Some of the flowers are of
opal, while others are thickly studded
with brilliants. The effect of this
superb diadem is particularly strik
ing. An endless variety of hat pins is
shown. Flowers and foliage, treated
to the new art style, are the prevail
ing motifs heading these charming
articles. Among the most favored de
signs are iris flowers of chased matt
gold, enameled in the proper colors.
Others, very popular also, consist of a
large baroque pearl surrounded with
Uailstle leaves, delicately wrought. An
exquisite and original pattern is of
light tortoise shell, while the head is
adorned with an owl's head chased
matt gold, whose eves are rubies.
Marquise rings are still fashionable.
Besides those consisting of a fusiform
opal framed with brilliants, there are
new and effective patterns, tba bezels
of which are rectangular in shape and
thickly studded with brilliants. These
bezels are adorned at their centre
with a large square cut ruby. New

ART IN A JUNGLE BURIED CITY.
Prof. Dow Tells of the Glories of An
urdhpur. Prof. Arthur Wesley Dow, in the
last lecture of a series on the fine arts
In Havemeyer hall, Columbia univer
sity, guided about 200 persons, nearly
all of them women, Into the heart of
a Ceylon jungle and showed them
some good stereoptlcon views of Cin
galese scenery. They traveled with
him in the "Royal Mall Coach," drawn
part of the time by horses and part
of the time by oxen ; they halted with
htm for a few momenS at one of the
rest houses the English government
has erected along the road; they
peeped into Cingalese homes on vil
lage outskirts, where they saw women
weaving mats (soon to be a lost art in
Ceylon because of the invasion of fac
tory made stuff) and potters modeling
earthern vessels of clay.
Just before reaching the Journey's
end. Prof. Dow took the entire com
pany, like so many personally con
ducted Cook's tourists, up a lofty
mountain side and showed them the
vast Ceylon jungle a very solemn and
melancholy sea of dark foliage reach
ing to the horizon and only broken
here and there by a blue mountain
peak. Tho jungle Itself, Prof. Dow
said, was as Bllent asthe picture of it,
not even the note of a bird or the
droning of an insect coming from it.
Prof. Dow's audience fully believed
him when he said that os he first look
ed over that lonely expanse a sense
of desolation came over him such as
he had never felt before.
Then, at one skip, the professor
landed his tourists among the moul
dering ruins of the long forgotten city,
Anuradbapura, the "Lost City of the
Jungle." Tho real subject of his lec
ture was "Buddhist Art In Anuradhap
ura." He was In the "lost city" In
person Just a year ago. It was swal
lowed up by the jungle, after other
forces had destroyed it, some 2000
years ago. Just what obliterated this
centre of Buddist art, Prof. Dow said,
was altogether vague and uncertain.
But apparently It covered a larger
area than any modern city, had fine
streets, the roadways covered with
fine white sand and the sidewalks
with fine blocks. It was In a fertile,
highly cultivated plain, where the gen
tle Cingalese built vast and beautiful
temples.
The ruins left behind In the jungle
fully bear out all the stories of Anur
adhapuran glories, about which ancient
Cingalese records and Chinese travel
ers tell. In Its architectural and
sculptural art, Prcf. Dow said, it was
at least to be mentioned in the same
breath, if not actually compared with
Athens in the age of Pericles.
Only a small part of the ruins has
been excavated and cleared of the jun
gle growth. They are burled, some of
them, 20 feet beneath the present sur
face. Great trees have sent their roots
deep down Into the mould and their ir
resistible pressure through ages has
dent the solid masonry apart as effec
tively as would a blast of dynamite.
But the sculptured walls and columns
are still. In many Instances, almost
perfectly preserved, leaving a perma
nent record of the art which derived
Its Impetus and inspiration from Budd
hism. Anuradbapura Is still a sacred spot
to Buddhists, and many Buddhist pil
grims go there annually. Scattered
all through the jungle hereabouts are
vast dagobas, or relic shrines, some
of them rivaling In size the Pyramids
of Egypt great dome shaped struc
tures whereof the' model was the cir
cular curved dome of a great water
bubble as It rises to the surface. An
English traveler of mathematical ten
dencies once computed that the ma
terials bricks which composed one
of them would build a railway tunnel
20 miles long or make a wall three
feet thick which would reach from
London to Edinburgh, while the cost
of building the structure could not
have been less than the modern equi
valent of 5,000,000 or $25,000,000.

Wall of a One-Armed Man.
"On the broad principle that one
Is just half as much as two I don't see
why I should be compelled to pay aa
much for getting my nails manicured
as the ordinary man," said a one-armed
man, who looked as If he had a
grievance. "I went Into the Waldorf
barber shop one day not long ago and
had my hand fixed up in good shape.
When I left the chair the girl told me
the charge would be a dollar.
'"I don't think I will," I rejoined.
'What Is your usual price for a man
with two hands?'
" 'One dollar,' replied the girl.
'"Well, I think 111 pay just half,'
said 1.
"Then I got Into an argument with
the manager or proprietor of the es
tablishment He would make no ex
ception In my case. I was equally
convinced that he would, just as a
matter of principle. But the upshot of
the matter was that I paid 65 cents. I
didn't get off for half price and he
didn't get the dollar.
This Is but a sample case with me.
Every manicure establishment that I
visit wants me to pay full price. The
line of argument they hand out to
me is that a one-armed man can't keep
his nails In as good shape as the man
with two. That is nonsense. If there
is anything I pride myself on It Is the
care of my one hand, and I know
plenty of men wit'.i two hands who
give these manicure artists more trou
ble with one thumb than I do with my
whole hand." Now York Press.
