    Fatigue.
Fatigue lowers all the faculties of
the body.
It puts a chasm between seeing and
acting.
It makes ft break, somehow, between
the message feat come Into the brain
from the outside world and the mes
sages that go out.
It destroys will power. Fatigue Is
a destructive agent like sickness and
death.
It ls-a condition which in the na
ture of thlugs we cannot avoid.
. But It is important to know how to
deal with It If we wish to keep away
from Important blunders.
The only thing to do with futlgue Is
to get rid of It as soon as possible.
Import questions must not be de
cided when one Is fatigued. New

Women as Physicians.
In the entire list of admissions to
practice at the bar Just made public
there Is not one woman among the
more than 150 new attorneys. Of the
ninety-two doctors of medicine passed
by the State Board of Registration
ten are women.
The alignment of the sexes in the
professions seems to be turning in
the direction of natural aptitude nd
sympathetic development. The prac
tice of law Is not a congenial occupa
tion for women unless In exceptional
cases. Few have the temperament and
the disposition to And In it happi
ness or achieve success.
On the other hand the healing art
offers to women a career in which
their natural Intuitions and their deli
cate perceptions constitute Invaluable
aids to science. Boston Post.
Pastor of a Kansas Church.
The first woman graduate from the
Kansas University School of Law, Mrs.
Ella W. Brown, is now pastor of the
Congregational church at Powhattan,
Kan., having forsaken the courts for
the ministry some years ngo. She has
bad her pastorate for four -years and
has made a record for efficiency as
a minister of the Gospel, as she did
also in the practice of law.
Mrs. Brown was ordained as a min
ister of the Congregattonad church
April, .1905, and was called to the
present pastorate of the Powhattan
church in that year. No revivals have
been held In her church since she took
charge, but there has been a steady
annual growth In membership end
prosperity.
. The officers of Mrs. Brown's church
are mostly women. Topeka Capital.
The Art of Happiness.
The art of happiness consists In be
ing pleased with little things. Peo
ple with great wealth or great power
are seldom happy. The leaders of the
world, great men or great women, are
aeldom satisfied. The society leader,
. .with millions at her command and
the homage of many men and women,
rarely knows the happiness that comes
unasked to the young wife or mother
In humbler circles, says Home Chat.
The possession of money decreases
the power of enjoyment. A child gets
more pleasure out of a sixpenny toy
than a mllUonnalre does from a thou
sand pound yacht. Sixpence has great
er value to the child than a thousand
has to the millionaire. The joys of
life belong to the little people the
Quiet men and women who are satis
fied to live their own lives and make
little mark on the lives of others. It
Is In the power of the least of us to be
happy and to make others so.
An Intrepid Explorer.
By her intrepid journey of explora
tion across the almost untrodden wilds
Of Labrador, Mrs. Leonldas Hubbard,
- a Canadian lady who has recently come
to London, has once more demonstrat
ed the courage with which a fragile,
gently nutured woman can brave hard
ships and dangers which might well
daunt any man. For twelve years Miss
Constance Oordon-Cummlng wandered
over the earth from the "granite crags
-of California" to the flre fountains of
Hawaii," climbing In the Himalayas
and penetrating into the heart of Chi
na and Tibet Miss H. M. Klhgsley
explored the Cameroon regions and
made herself quite at home abong
fierce gorillas and fiercer cannibals,
lady Baker, who was the first Euro
pean to sight Albert Nyanza, thought
nothing of walking Into the tent of an
Arab slaver and fetching out the cap

Bishop, Mrs. Marshall and others also
occupy honored places as explorers.

A novel experiment in training girls
to manage a home is to be made In
London If the Education Committee
of the London County Council adopt a
scheme which has been submitted to
them.
The aim is to make the girls pro
ficient in the domestic duties they
would hare to perform as the wives
of artisans earning from 28s, to 3 a
week. In addition to washing, cook
ing and cleaning and the general man
agement of the home on a systematic
basis, they would be taught how "to
shop in the most economical way.
At the beginning of each weft a
certain sum would be set apart for
rent, rates, clothing, insurance, travel
lng expenses, and for providing a fund
for " rainy day." The remainder
would be available for food and any
little luxuries that might be possl
li ble, sayr Home Chat. '
In order that the training may be
as practicable as possible, it is neces
sary that the time occupied in attend
ing to baby In most homes should not
be overlooked lu the program of the
experimental home. It Is proponed
each week, therefore, to undertake the
care of a chl!dbelonglng to a work
ing class family In the neighborhood,
and In this way the girls would gain
further valuable experience.
Every piece. of furniture and every
utensil would have the price paid for
it marked on It, so that the girls might
have an idea of how much each article
can be bought for. 1
A College Woman's Philosophy.
"It we could collect In one place at
the end of the college life every vUlble
result of th9 four years' work," said
a serious young woman yesterday, who
was graduated from well known col
lege last June, "we might fancy for
a moment that there was a great deal
more In those books and papers than
there was left In our own minds; but,
then, as we realized afre3h all the ful
ness of college life we should feet that
the best things gained were not those
in the books and papers, but some
where else. This 'last thought would
be a much better one than the first,
because the only right and proper
place for everything that has been ac
quired Is not within the narrow limits
of notebooks, but present and ready in
the daily thoughts, and so influencing
them as to affect continually the ac
tual life.
"The women and the men.too who
use to the fullest that which they have
although this may be little, are in
finitely wiser than they who go on
accumulating and piling up Informa
tion, with no coherent purpose nor
with -any definite plan," continues this
philosopher. "The trouble with a
great many people In this world Is
not that they are lacking In sufficient
brains, but that ttiey do not know how
to use those they have. Waste Is al
ways unintelligent; and it is the worst
waste in the world to leave idle and
useless the faculties which are capa
ble of being nlert and helpful. That
this is a tendency with womankind
even with college women is only too
well known. An llustratlon in point Is
a comment of one of this year's grad
uates: 'When I went home in the
spring vacation and heard my father
talking about strikes and labor unions
I tried to be intelligent and bring to
the fore all my training in economics;
but it was pitiful how much was In
my note books and how little in my
mind ready for use.'
"Disconnected facts are only good
when they become significant, and they
only become significant when they as
sume their proper places in the scheme
of living. The wisest people are they
who see life in its true proportion;
they ean trace the origin, the relation
ship and the meaning of events and
results in their dally life, and all
things have a meaning for them.
These people are not always the ones
who have had the widest and best edu
cation; they are often hampered by
this very lack of mental training, but
they are not willing to rest until they
have found some answer to their ques
tionings. Therefore they ponder and
puzzle, put two and two together, un
til finally they begin to find answers
and to interpret causes and results.
They work out their own philosophy,
which is, after all, the only philosophy
worth having!" New York Tribune.
Fashion Notes.
Black brocades spotted with colored
embroidered designs are seen again.
The new silks show no departure
from the soft, thin texture of last sea
son. The chiffon weight of velvet Is quite
distanced by a weave as thin and soft
as gauze. .
Among the silks brilliant combina
tions of color and striped effects are
conspicuous.
The open-meat linens are the newest
weaves and are much liked for
jumper dresses.
Scarfs of chiffon or liberty are
twice passed around the waist and tied
in a great bow -in the back.
One thing that women too often for
get is that there is a becoming and an
unbecoming length for the sleeve.
Those who wear scarfs with their
tailored shirt-waists will have the pin
and the link buttons match In design.
The long cuff with the puff at the
top of the arm is one of the new and
sane sleeves seen In fashionable
gowns.
Among the stunning getups seen at
a recent fashionable lawn party was
a rose colored linen embroidered lav
ishly and a leghorn bat trimmed with
pale blue and white feathers.
A tail woman with a sleeve that
looks as though it had started for the
wrist and given out before. that point
had Been reached has the look of hav
ing either out-grown her clothes or
run short of material.
A gray moussellne de sole gown
worn by an elderly woman at a wed
ding was trimmed with a sort of drawn
work and fringe and was almost en
tirely covered by a long coat of gray
embroidered net The hat was trimmed
with popples.

' HAT8 ON BEFORE KINGS.
Penn, Austria, Napoleon and the Ce
Courceyt.
Mark Twain has indignantly denied
the assertions that he kept his hat on
while conversing with Queen Alexan
dra and that he put his arm around
King Edward's neck and addressed
llm In terms not consonant with the
English Idea of the dignity for such
K-caslons made and provided. Of
course, the denial will not catch- up
with the erroneous report, and those
who desire to believe the latter will,
make much of Twain's admission that
on Queen Alexandra for a second time
requesting him to put. on his hat he
compiled. The "fake," for such the
story must have been, with the addi
tion that TwnW keit his hat on nil the
time he was talking with the king, ob
tained such currency as to Inspire a
New York evening paper to ask:
"Was William Penn the last American
citizen who kept his hat on while
conversing with the king or England?"
This of Itself is a very interesting
question for the student of manners
and customs, who before entering up
on the studies will pause to say that
William Penn never was an American
citizen but lived and died a British
subject
We should hope that the American
Investigator would find that few of
his countrymen had' been guilty of
such rudeness or love of advertising
as to keep on their hats when con
vening with the monarch or execu
tive of any nation. If a foreigner
were guilty of equal discourtesy to
President Roosevelt what sermon the
Amerlcnn pres would address to
said foreigner and his country! Penn
had the justification that his refusal
to remove his hat In the presence of
royalty was dictated by his religion.
With htm it was a case of conscience.
The hat Is often the Index of charac
ter. Napoleon wore his hat when
Metternlch presented his credentials
as Austrian ambassador, and kept it
on throughout the interview. The
shrewd Australn saw in the incident
the character of the Corslcan, and in
wardly pronunced him a "parvenue"
uncertain of bis position. The Em
peror of Austria, said Metternlch,
would not have worn his hat In receiv
ing the representative of the meanest
nation In the world. He would have
uncovered out of courtesy not merely
to the ambassador, but to the latter's
country. But, as Metternlch added,
the Emperor of Austria was a gentle
man and would never in his own
house assert social superiority to his
guest.
Hat wearing in the king's presence
Is a matter of prescription with at
least one family in Great Britain.
The DeCourceys, Barons Klngsale,
have the prescriptive right, granted
by King John, to keep their hats on
In the presence of the monarch. The
Lord Klngsale of George III.'s time
asserted this right in a peculiarly of
fensive manner. The king remon
strating. Lord Klngsale, so the story
goes, retorted: "King John authorized
the De Courceys forever to keep their
hats on when the king was present."
"Did he authorize them to keep their
hats on when ladieB were present,
too?" asked the king,, who must have
had one of his lucid moments, as he
pointed to the queen and her attend
ants. It seems difficult to believe
George III. was capable of saying any
thing so neatly pointed. Rather are
we prepared to accept as characteris
tic of htm his estimate of Shakes
peare: "A great deal of sorry stuff in
Shakespeare, only, of course, one
must not say so!" Boston Transcript.
Monkey or Woman?
The keepers of the Bronx Zoo -can
hardly tell whether the animal they
bought of an inbound South African
tramp steamship is a female orang
outang or a woman.
Nothing so near to the real, sure
enough, long-sought missing link has
ever been brought to America. It
has no hair on Its face, no monkey
like curve to its spinal column; sits
like a human being, walks like -an
aldemanlc candidate, on its hind legs
alone, and much prefers the society
of humans to the Inmates of the mon
key cage.
Moreover, Director Hornaday bas
measured its intellect, and declares
that it is one of the highest brows
he bas ever seen. Still,' the consen
sus 'of opinion is that the orang
outang is less monkey than man, and
it will be put on exhibition 'this
week with the rest of the tribe it so
far excels. New York American.

In a North Tenth street restaurant
window there stands a sign which
usually reads: "Steaks and chops,
ham and egg." The restuant Is
about to be removed, and there has
lately been put in place in the same
window, and in such a position that
It Tests across the bottom of the
sign mentioned, another bearing the
words "for rent" As both signs
are of the same width and color, size
of letter and general appearance In
every way, the Juxtaposition gives
this remarkable reading:

New York City. Unquestionably
the cutaway coat Is a favorite of the
season and exceedingly smart and at
tractive It is. This one is admirably
well adapted both to immediate wear
and to the coming autumn, as it can
be made either with the three-quarter
or long sleeves. In the illustration
the arSTeVial is chiffon broadcloth,
with collar and cuffs of velvet, the
seams being' simply stitched with hold
ing silk. 'Every suiting material is
appropriate, however, and the coat is
also a pretty one for the separate
wrap, and, severe and simple as it is,
there are a number of variations that
can be made. Collar and cuffs can
be of the material while their edges
and those of the coat are bound with
braid, or if something still -plainer is
wanted the sleeves can be made long
and the cuffs omitted, leaving a per
fectly plain coat sleeve. There are
pockets that are both smart and con
venient, and the little coat is one al
together to be commended from
every point of view.
The coat is made with fronts and
side-fronts, side-backs and under-arm
gores. The flat Tuxedo collar finishes
the neck and the pockets are inserted.
The sleeves are made in two pieces
each and are Jald in pleats at the
shoulders.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards
twenty-seven, two and a half yards
forty-four or two and a quarter yards
fifty-two inches wide with one-half
yard of velvet for collar and cuffs.
Rose Still Favored.
The rose is the fa -orlte flower and
appears in a multitude of shadings,
while most folk think there is more
charm in the artificial flowers which
closely copy natural effects, the weird
flower colorings making possible very
delightful toilette harmonies.
Cuban Shoe Chosen.
The most popular shoe for feminine
choice has proved to be the brown
kid with Cuban heel and high arch.
Soft Fudi-d Tints.
Often a cluster of roses will in
clude a host of soft faded tints all
combining harmoniously under the
touch of an artist, though one false
touch would set the whole color
scheme Jangling.
Hun-Hoiiiict nnd lint.
Washable hats that are such in fact
as well as in name are always in de
mand for the little folk during the
warm weather. Here are two emin
ently satisfactory ones that are dis
tinctly different in style, but both of
which can be taken apart and laun
dered without difficulty. In the il
lustration the hat Is made of dotted
plqae simply scalloped at the edges
and held in place by means of lawn
ties, while the sun-bonnet la made of
white lawn.thebrlm portion being em
broidered In a simple design. A great
many materials can be used, however,
and everything that Is correct for
hats and bonnets of the sort is ap
propriate. For the little hat linen,
pique and duck are perhaps 'the pre
ferred materials,, but lawn, with the
brim Interlined, also Is seen, while fot
the sun-bonnet both white lawn and
cross barred dimity are liked, with
also the pretty Dresden designs that
are so childish and so charming.
The hat is made with crown and
brim and with a straight narrow
band. The band is attached to the
Inner portion of the brim and to it
the buttons are sewed. Button holes
are worked in the crown and the two
' are buttoned together. The sun-bon-
net also consists of brim and crown.
The brim is made plain and usually
is interlined to provide sufficient firm
ness, but the crown is soft and Is but
toned to position.
The quantity of material required
for the bat la three-quarter yard
thlrty-slx Inches wide, for the bonnet
five-eight yard thlrty-slx inches wide.
Sleeves of Another Color.
Sleeves of quite a different color
from the dress have made a distinct
furore of late In a few very notable
cases, and are the introduction of an
artist in modes whose genius is of
world-wide renown.
New Striped Silks.
One of the new striped silks has a
pale mauve ground with half inch
self-toned satin stripes outlined with
black.
