An Old Palntrr'a Ideas. The Autumn nenson 1b comlnj Bora and more to be recognized as most suitable tlmt for bouse-palnt-Ing. There Is no frost deep In the wood to make trouble for even the best Job of palntlnc, and the- general season ing of the Summer has put the wood Into good condition In every way. The weather, moreover. Is more like ly to be settled, for the necessary length of t'me to allow all the coats to thoroughly dry a very Important precaution. An old and successful painter laid to the writer the other day: "House owners would get more for their money If they would allow their painters to take more time, es pecially between coats. Instead of allowing barely time for the surface to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,' several days (weeks would not be too much) should be allowed so that the coat might set through and through. It Is Inconvenient, of course, but. If one would suffer this alight Inconvenience, It would add two or three years to the life of the paint. "All this is assuming, of course, that the paint used is the very best to be had the purest of white lead and the purest of linseed oil, un mixed with any cheapener. If the cheap mixtures, often known as 'White Lead' and oil which has been floctored with fish oil, benzine, Corn ell, or other of the adulterants known to the trade, are used, all the precautions of the Bk 1 lied painter are useless to prevent the cracking and peeling which make houses unsightly In a year or so and, therefore, make painting bills too frequent and costly. "The house owner should have his painter bring the Ingredients to the premises separately white lead of some well-known, reliable brand and linseed oil of equal quality and mix the paint Just before applying It" Painting need not be expensive and unsatisfactory If the old painter's uggestions are followed. Joan of Arc or Jeanne Dare? On seeing the nbove caption In the London Pall Mail Gazette, R. St. J. Corbett was moved to write to that paper the following remonstrance: "It- Is strange that English folk and Americans should carry on the above misspelling into the twentieth cent ury, for on the authority of Mlchelet, the historian, of Denn Kitchen, and of other students, the young womanis name was unquestionably Jeanne Dare, out of which no one can manu facture Joan of Arc, not only were her parents peasants, but there was no Arc anywhere near of which she could be 'de.' One can 'see how the mistake originally arose, but the twentieth century. In the Interests of accuracy, should not countenance The Open Door In Egypt. While there can be no doubting the Intention of the British govern ment to henceforth dominate openly the political control of Egypt as a part of the British empire, the pro posals of Lord Cromer clearly indi cate that there is to be equal op portunity for all nationalities and full respect for acquired and vested rights. In other words, modern Egypt Is to be governed on the open- door principle so strongly advocated. oy me uniiea buucb in ininn ana uie Far East generally.

Fortified Russian Monastery. At Solovetsk, in Russia, Is a re markable fortified monastery. It is enclosed on every side by a wall of granite bowlders nearly a mile in cir cumference. The monastery Itself Is very strongly fortified, being support ed by round and square towers about 80 feet In height, with walls 20 feet In thickness. The monastery consists in reality of six churches, which are completely filled with statues of all kinds and precious stones. Upon the walls and the towers surrounding these churches are mounted huge runs, which In the time of the Cri mean War were directed against the British White Sea squadron. New York Tribune. A WINXIXG START. A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force For the Day. i Everything goes wrong It the breakfast lies In your stomach like a mud pie. What you eat does harm If you can't digest It It turns to poi son. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast She ays: "Two years ago I contracted a Tery annoying form of Indigestion. My stomach was in such condition that a simplebreakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great distress. "I was slow to believe that trouble could come from such a simple diet, but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of not Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course, and have not suffered except when injudiciously varying my diet "I have been a teacher for several years and find that my easily digest ed breakfast means a saving of ner vous force for the entire day. My , fain of ten pounds in weight also causes me to want to testify to the Talue of Grape-Nuts. "Grape-Nuts holds first rank at our table." Name glvea by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." Read the lit tle book, "The Road to Wellvllle," In New York 'City. Every fresh variation of the lingerie blouse is cer tain to be met with enthusiasm, for no woman ever yet had a sufllclent supply. This one Is as simple as It is dainty, and Is exceedingly attrac tive, while at the same time it in- volves comparatively little labor in the making. As shown the material is Persian '.awn with trimming of em broidered banding and frills, but all the lingerie materials are appropriate with trimming of lace or embroidery, as liked, while also the model will be found desirable for the thin silks that are made after the same general stylo as the wash valsts. The lines given by the tucks and the trimming are exceedingly becoming ones," and the sleeves are in the most comfortable Of all lengths, terminating Just below the elbows. The waist 1s made with front and backs, the backs being tucked from, the shoulders to the belt, while the front is tucked to the yoke depth only. There Is a regulation collar at the neck and the closing is made in visibly at the back. The Bleeves are simply full, gathered Into bands. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and one fourth yards twenty-one, three yards twenty-seven or one and seven-eighth yards forty-four inches wide, with two and one-half yard3 of insertion two inches wide. , 'Inexpensive Trimming. An inexpensive mode of trimming a summer gown for her whose time is not a marketable product Is the use of tiny gathered ruchings ar ranged in festoons or otherwise on Bkirt and bodice. The material is cut about two inches wide, hemmed on both sides, gathered through the middle, and sewed on in ' any pre ferred design with very decorative effect. The narrowest of lace sewed to each edge adds to the daintiness of the trimming. Sr.chets of Linen. Sachets for dresses are much used. The shops are showing them made of fine linen, embroidered, some three cornered and some square. The cov ers can be taken off and washed, as the sachet is in little colored silk bags. 4m Sailor Huts For Girls. Sailor hats of the good old-fashioned kind, with a medlumly high crown and a wldo brim, says Vogue, are being used entirely for nautical wear by young girls with the beat developed ideas of the eternal fitness of things, and as most of the yachts women aro of the smart set, the ex ample will readily bo followed by others for either or both reasons. ISIuJ and White Suit. A shirt waist suit of blue and white striped material is so put together that the color of the half-inch stripe forms the trimming, airtl the result Is very pleasing. The ruffle around the bottom of the skirt is laid in pleats with the blue strlpo on top, stitched down a little way, so that the effect is of a blue band heading a fluffy blue and white rufllo. The same idea is carried out on short sleeve and at the nock, while the belt Is formed by laying the fulness of the waist In pleats. A very simple costume, but un effective one. Fancy Mntlnrr. The -n-y matinee is always In de mand, but especially so during tha warm months, when every form of negligee Is much to be desired. This one is graceful, attractive and becom ing, and can be made either from plairt material or from ribbon held by bands of insertion. As shown white lawn is simply trimmed with Valenciennes lace, but both the Pom padour and striped ribbons make ex ceedingly charming effects and the model is so designed that they can be used with perfect success. In addi tion to serving for the always needed breakfast Jacket, the matinee be comes a most deslrnble garment for wear in one's own room and for th slipping on between the rbnnges ol toilette that so often occur. The Jacket is made with the fronts back and the sleeves, and is Bimpllo ity itself, the fitting being accom plished by means of shoulder and un der-arm seams only. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is two and thre fourth yards twenty-one, two and one-halt yards twenty-seven or on and one-fourth yards forty-foui inches wide; or nine yards of ribbon four inches wide with fifteen yards of insertion and nine yards of edging.

How He Collected. The editor of a Kansas country paper has found n way of persuading tne aellquent 'subscriber. It was quite accidental. He had borrowed a rifle recently, and ho Btartcd up the main street of the town to return the weapon to Its owner. The de linquent subscribers got It Into their heads that he was on the warpath and every one he met insisted on paying what he owed him. One man wiped out a debt of 10 years standing On his return to his office he found a load of hay, 15 bushels of corn, 10 bushels of potatoes, a load of wood and a barrel of turnips that had been brought In. All the country editors are now trying to borrow Winches ters. These Are the Days.

Prof. Hnnsteen, chief lecturer of the agricultural school at Aas, Nor way, has been conducting experiments which show thnt a common greenish white moss, after being subjected to a chemical process, pressed and cook ed, becomes a food of the most de licious and nutritive character. Be cause of Its cheapness, he. thinks It Is destined to become a popular food for the masses. He finds that nine ounces of moss, costing two cents, will make a good dinner for six per sons. The substance can also be ground and used as a meal for bread making. French Wealth Well Divided. The fact that France is able to hold substantially all of her own public debt, to finance her own industrial enterprises, and still have' bo much leic ior outsiuo investment 4s a re markable evidence of the thrift of the French people. One reason for the great property of the French people seems to be the general distribution of wealth among the popuhitlon, largo fortunes and great industrial combi nations being comparatively few In number.

"My husband and five children were all afflicted with eczema. They had it two years. We used ill the home remedies we could hear of, without any relief, and then went to a physician and got medicine two different times, and it got worse. It affected us ail over except head and hands.
