Elbert Hubbard, the man who writes something about everything, has dug up the fact that the side sad dle was the invention ot a princess who had congenital hip disease, and could not ride astride. To save her embarrassment all the ladles ot the court had side saddles made, and rode .In the same way. The fashion spread, and we continued it until about five years ago, when many good women who rode horseback, publicly ac knowledged themselves as . bipeds. Guy B. Mitchell. NOTHING DOING. A sophisticated mother who felt responsible for the future ot heV daughters said to one ot then): "Anna, what did young Mr. Jones ay to you .last night when he Was buttoning your glove? I saw he was lightly excited." "Why," answered Anna, "he said that ths person who made a glqve so hard to button as that deserved to be killed." "My dear," rotorted her mother Im pressively, "don't waste any more ot your time on young Mr. Jones." Philadelphia Ledger. HOW TO HOLD SHOULDERS. A beauty doctor gives it at her opinion that the time-honored maxim to "hold your shoulders back'-' is a mistake. "Forget your shouldera" la her advice. Keen your cheat and emn up ana your snouiaers wuj taite care ot themselves. Another author. ity says that it never did her the least good to be told to hold herself up right until someone suggested to her to Imagine that her chest was sus pended from a cord. That mental picture ot her chest held up, sup ported in air by artificial means, did more tor her than all the will power she could com maud. : FEMLNIiNE AMENITIES. Two bosom friends were discuss ing another absent one with a reluct ance that was apparently gratifying to both. "Yes," ponslvely remarked the blonde maiden of the twain, "no one could truthfully say that she was pretty." "No," answered her brunette com panion, for they dyed by way of con trast, as she tried to assume a sympa thetic aLr, "perhaps her eyes are the most striking thing about her." Then the bleached thing sniffed Boulfully and with the aspect as of one who would say, "I am no knock er," replied, "Well, dear, they at any rate, are real." After that they giggled, linked arms and went in search of soda. The Listener, in Town Topics. STRAWBERRIES FORJTHE TEETH. "Perhaps it Is your sunburn that deceives me, but I really believe," said the first girl, as she floated on the sun-warmed billows, "that your teeth hare turned three shades light er." The second girl, taking a huge breaker very skilfully, laughed and replied: "No, it is tie truth. They really are white. It is a new wash that I we." "Tell me what it is." "It la nothing but crushed straw berries. Tow take two or three fresh strawberries, crush them and rub rour teeth with them for fire or six minutes a da.

The great world of dress is threat ened with an attack of what has been called "tlnselitis.." Last season the corresponding malady was known as "eequinltis," but the sequin as a dress decoration has now given place to tinsel. An authority upon such matters allows himself to say that women love to glitter. The tinsel fashion began with the postal cards of actresses, in which the jewels were picked out with tinsel. The favorite picture pas ta! card is now a blase of glittering powder. The well-known French cos tumor quoted above rays: "There is an Innate desire In the feminine heart to glitter. The mil- 4uonairess can indulge in diamonds. I..-,, 1 1 1. ...Ml 1, . Jl of the enormous number ot women who can not afford real diamonds and will not wear paste. "The most delicate effects can be obtained on dresses by tinsel powder. We are making a debutante's gown for the next drawing-room of white chiffon on which are scattered tiny silver tinsel rosebuds. Gold tinsel popples on block tulle Is also one of the latest designs. "Many ladies are adding tinsel work to their knowledge of fancy em broidery. " 'Tlnselltis' has also affected mil liner, and 'flower' toques are now made, the centre of each blossom be ing filled with silver, gold, or Jet powder." DO DO ROOM. The most Interesting feature et a New York home, according to Town and Country, is the "Do Do Room," a completely equipped playroom, whore the word "don't" Is never heard. The idea of this juvenile par adtee originated with paterfamilias, whose childhood was marred by ooa tlaually hearing "Don't do th'is!" er "Don't break that!" The room itself is a large, sunny plane, splendidly ventilated by plants ot windows, which are safety barred. One end of the hardwood floor is un covered, while the other has a thick woo Ion rug, fastened down so se curely tii at acrobatic feats or any amounts of running or sliding can not loosen it. The walls, which are deadened, so that noises cannot pene trate to other parts of the house, are covered with bine paper from which finger prints can be easily washed off. The pictures and electric lights are caged, this precaution making pos sible a mild game of basketball or any Amount of handball or bean bag tossing. The chairs (minus rockers) and the tables tire made with rounded cor ners. The fear ot breaking dainty bric-a-brac does not bother the little inmates ot the "Do Do Room," and the built-in bookcase, where favorite books and magazines abound, has no glass doors to be kept away from, er silk curtain which must not be touched. MARTHA'S CAREER. Martha was a farmer'B daughter in the middle West, a daring, self willed girl, always full of great dreams and ambitions. The day af ter she was graduated from the high school she went to her father. "I am going to New York," she announced, "to learn to be a singer. I'm old enough I'm eighteen, and I have the three hundred dollars Aunt Mlnta lelt me. It's no use trying to prevent me; I shall run away if you don't let-go," So Martha went to New York and began her study. Fortunately she se cured a good teacher, and for a few weeks worked joyfully. Then one day her teacher detained her after the lesson. "Miss Retd." she said, "I fee) that I am wronging you if I do not speak to you frankly. You are putting your life into your singing. May I ask you what you hope to do with your voice?" ' "I mean," the girl answered, de fiant because of the sudden fear that caught at her heart, "to be a great singer. I know I'm poor, but wbaj difference does that make? I'll earn the money. Others have done it, why shouldn't I?" The teacher's eyes met hers pity ingly. "It Is bard to say, Miss ReJ4, bat I could sot forgive myself If I did not tell you the t;uth we see so many tragedies here! You never can make a great singer you have not the voice. You have voice enough to give muoh pleasure to yourself and others, to help in a thousand ways " The girl broke in rudely, ';Yo are telling me that I can sing in Sunday-school," she retorted. "Thank you, that isn't my idea of life." She left her teacher and went straight to another, to whom, in spite ot herself, she let the story slip out. The "professor" tympathized with her, tried her voice, declared himself enthusiastically her advocate, and once mere the Btudy began and the dreams. But now a new difficulty ap peared she was almost at the end of her money. Troubled, yet hardly doubting, she asked the prpfessor to help her find some way to use her voice. Then the professor's smooth manner dropped, and he broke out in to a tirade to which she listened too stunned to answer. Five minutes la ter she left with his last word ringing in her ears: "Voice? You could not sing in one thousand years!" The New York papers the next day reported the suicide of a young girl at such and such a street number. No reason known. It is a terrible story, but only tee common. There are those who speak pityingly of the great mystery of the "artistic temperament" with no pow er to create the beauty ot which It dreams. It is a mystery, but the tragedy was not there. It was in she seUlshness, vanity and cowardice that shirked the duly of building a Ufe out of the talents aud opportunities given. Youth's Companion. FROSTING WINDOW GLAS3. A very pretty frosted effect on win dow glass to hide an objectionable outlook may be made by dissolving In one pint of stale ale about a hand ful of Epsom salts. Mix thoroughly and apply with brush. It may be removed by scrubbing at any time it desired. R. M. Field, Hasklll, Fla., in The Epitomist. ABOUT TABLECLOTHS. A new tablecloth of good linen needs no starch when it is washed, yet comparatively few women know the proper method of ironing it. The tablecloth and napkins, too, should be made very damp, even more so than any other article In the wash. Have a very large irou when ironing them; a No. 9 is not too large, and it retains the heat much longer. The success of Ironing the pieces is to make perfectly dry every Inch of the linen as you Iron it. This makes the cloth glossy and It will have sufficient starch in it. As tablecloths grow old they will need a little thin starch, as the body Is worn in them, and it makes them iron better. The old ones should be sprinkled the same as other clothes. These pieces should be thoroughly dried near a stove be fore they are put away, or the damp ness they retain makes them look as If they had not been ironed at all. PAPERING ON WOODEN WALLS. This can be done by first covering the boards with the brown paper used on floors. Make a paste of flour and water without cooking, and to each gallon of the paste add a small hand ful of glue previously dissolved. Spread this paste on one side ot the floor paper as you would ordinary wall paper, and tack the top end close to the ceiling, pressing the paper tightly to the wall from thence to the floor, using a brush or cloth, being sure to run out any wrinkles or "blls. ters." On this the wall paper may b hung In the usual . way. Oil cloth which comes for this purpose may bf readily hung, and gives good service, being more sanitaiy than paper, as It can be wiped off without injury. For an outhouse, or summei kitchen, there is really nothing that will take the place ot a good white wash, as this will not only sweeten and disinfect, but will put a stop to the bugs and worms that show liking for such places. SHRINKING WOOLEN GOODS. I have been so often troubled with my woolen dresses spotting or shrink ing after being made up. To avoid this now I always sponge the goods before making up, unless they have been sponged before being offered for sale. It is not a difficult tling to do, yet requires some care and patience. Prepare a table large enough to hold the entire width of the goods. The top rover of this table should be fastened on firmly, for you do not want any wrinkles in the goods; this cover should also be free from lint. Lay the dress goods on the table, wrong side up. Take a cloth (this should also be free from lint) and dip in water, then wring out tightly, for this cloth must not be wet, but just damp. Cover the dress goods with this cloth and press with a hot Iron. Remember, press, but do not iron. Keep the goods smooth by al lowing K to drop back over the table upon something. After it all haj been gone over hang it up, so that the steam may dry off before foidlm up. This is an excellent method to press old roods before making up; also an excellent way to press tht creases out ot made-up dresses and men's clothes.

DUN'S WEEKLY SUMMARY Distribution of Merchandise . at Re tall Continues to Increase Pig Iron Price Settled. Distribution of fall merchandise at retail Increases steadily, except In some sections, where the weather has been unfavorable. Jobbers. are still forwarding largn consignments of dry goods and kindred lines, and reports from the interior indicate confidence In well-sustained business during the autumn and winter. There are still complaints of caution at eaBtern cities regarding future operations, on account of the financial situation, but, tm the whole, mercantile collections are more prompt. Manufacturers have orders cn hand nssuiing active machinery for some months, even In the Industrials where the conservat ism Is a noticeable feature, while each week puts a vast quantity of agricultural products beyond the reach of early frost, which is now regarded as the only serious menace to the great farm staples. Producers of pig Iron appear to have reached a basis upon which business can bo transacted, and In creased Inquiries have checked the downward tendency of quotations. Purchases are more liberal, especial ly at the Bust. A moderate tonnage of structural Bteel Is ordered each weok. while more work of this na ture is contemplated, but much of the expected buying for railway bridges and large office buildings still awaits a favorable money market. Business In rails Is now most active In light weights for trolley systems. Textile plants are still busy, with the exception of some curtailment In woolens and cotton mills. Primary markets are somewhat disturbed by the extensive decline In price of raw cotton, new orders decreasing as prospective purchasers endeavored to secure concessions in prices of goods commensurate with the change In cost of material. Financial stringency Is also felt, but not to such a degree as before the present period. MARKETS. PITTSBURG.
