About Womcni kind^ Tlvo Business Side of Art. Women are winning success in the ''business side of art" in many direc tions aside from the fashion drawings that produce a good Income for clever artists. Several preserving houses employ women to design the labels suggest names for the new brands, draw the pictures that are used in ad vertising and arrange exhibits at fairs and exhibitions. To Miitcli a Colored Border. The handkerchief, plain white, with a colored border, has long been in use. Now comes a dainty scrap of a mou choir, with one initial letter embroid ered in delicate color. You have the Initial iu pink, red, blue or black. The Initial is usually colored to match the border of the handkerchief, but you can obtain a colored initial on a plain white handkerchief with a hemstitched border if you do not care for a line of color on the edge. Ditched* d'Aostn. The Duchess d'Aosta, wife of the heir apparent to the Italian throne, is thoroughly English in her tastes and ways, having been born at Twicken ham during the exile of her father, the Comte de Paris. The Duchess has three charming sisters, the Queen of Portugal, the Duchess de Guise and the Princess Louise, who is ouly sev enteen.

Do not inaugurate any departure from the usual manners and customs of the place iu which you live. Let the minister who officiates at the wed ding direct, you as to the ceremony, your ouly suggestion to him being that the rites be very simple. Try, when ar ranging for the wedding, to plan everything so that there will be a spirit of peace and calm in the house when the hour for the ceremony ar rives. Let all jarring, worldly sugges tions be banished during the hour when you formally pledge yourself to the duties and lifelong responsibilities of a wife, and receive the solemn promise of protection and devotion from the man who has chosen you.— Ada C. Sweet, iu the Woman's Ilome Companion. A Schoolgirl's Outfit. A young girl going away to school does not need many frocks. For every-day wear she should have two wool or serge costumes of dark color, prettily made, two or three shirt waists to wear with short cloth skirts, and a loosely-fltting dress for the gym nasium. For church and visiting she will require precisely the same dress she would need at home—something simple, yet becoming—nnd, if there are occasional evening receptions at school, she should have for them a white frock made high and trimmed with ribbon nnd embroidery. Her changes of underclothing, stockings, handkerchiefs, and the little accesso ries which every girl prizes, should be the same as at home, except that she will need one-third more of every thing, as, in absence, a wardrobe can not be easily replenished. Every arti cle must be plainly marked. A thick jacket, stout boots, golf cape and rain cloak are necessities. Ilats should be very simple, and two are enough—a toque or felt hat for every day nnd a dainty little hat for Sunday, though the latter may be done without. Even in very cold weather, college girls flit bnreheuded from class to class and are uoue the worse. —Collier's Weekly. Tho Use of l'erfnmc*. Few people know how to use per fumes, although everybody thinks it Is a very simple matter. The delicate extracts favored by the majority should never be used by tipping up the bottle and soaking a small part of a garment. It must be sprayed through a very flue ntomizer, and even then used sparingly. Sachets are everywhere among the belongings of a luxurious woman, and have developed from the originnl small scented bag to generous proportions. In Paris it is an ordinary thing for closet walls to be lined with cheese cloth or silk pads scented with pow der, which must be renewed every two or three months. Shelves are cov ered with sachet pads of tho same sort. Bureau drawers are liped with them. Scented sachet cotton is used by tailors and dressmakers for the padding of gowns. Perfumed flannel or chamois skin soaked in perfume until it resembles the old Cordova leather, or peau d'Espague, Is cut into strips nnd sewed inside gowns, hats and other articles of wearing apparel. Air-tight boxes or movable closets are made, in which gowns may be hung while per fumed oils are burned under them, filling every thread of the goods with fragrance. Even beds are perfumed, sachet pads being put between the mattresses and the sheets. Lavender and orris are more used for these pads than the heavier perfumes. Small perfumed tablets, the size of a nickel nnd a quarter of an inch thick, are made to be tucked into a glove while it is on the hand, or into purses, card cases and pockets. Perfumed boxes, escritoire pads and perfumed sealing wax are used to scent note paper. Small cones, made of charcoal and perfumed oil, about the size of a finger end, are burned for perfuming a room. Incense burners of all sorts, consuming perfumed oils, may give to a woman's boudoir or salon the fra grance she affects. Pastiles dropped into the bath per fume the water, and soaps, toilet water, cold creams, almond meal, lo tions, powders and rouges must all have tlio same fragrance. Perfumed hair washes are marie for shampooing purposes. Perfumed toilet vinegar is used for a tooth wash. Lip salve, eye brow pencils, even the blue powder and brush for painting veins, may he had in almost any perfume.—Chicago Chronicle. igrreovdoir CHAT Three women graduated in the three years' course at Chicago this year, re ceiving degrees of bachelor of laws.

Some beautiful specimens have been produced by them, the work including not only exquisite cover de signs and illuminated pages, but the actual binding of the volume from start to finish.

Jacquelln, however, made one good win this year when he cap tured the Grand Prix de Paris, which, outside the world's championship, is regarded as the blue-ribbon event of the European path. The win, how ever, was looked upon more in the nature of a fluke, but since that time he has shown consistent form, al- Jacquelln of France, the new cham pion cyclist of the world, is not un known to fame, having been a most consistent performer for years. That he should win the title over one of the finest fields that ever gathered for a world's championship meeting is surprising, for he has been regarded for tho last two years as a good old relic of former greatness, something on the order of George Banker, the American now racing in France. Banker in his time held the world's championship twice, but of late years his pretensions to fame have not been taken seriously. If Zimmerman, Tyler or Windle should come to life and win out over the present field of American racing men it would have occasioned no more JACQIJEILIN. though it was not thought to be of championship caliber. Four or five years ago Jacquelln was the most popular racing man in France and looked upon as a comer. He divided honors with Morin and Bourrillon, but he had the hearts of his countrymen, for he had more of FOUNTAIN PASTE BRUSH I Below Is shown a newly patented brush, which Is adapted to apply paste or mucilage to surfaces without the necessity of dipping tho brush in a re ceptacle at Intervals, the main advan tage of the Invention being the even ness with which the paste can be spread.

Tho NtrvKglo to Save. I know men in this city whose strug gle to save a dollar for a rainy day is pathetic, says a writer in the New York Press. Theirs is a generous na ture. They take an occasional toddy, perhaps, and being treated must treat back. With money In pocket this Is an easy accomplishment, and money (lies when four or five good fellows get together In front of tho bar. There are clOße-flsted scalawags who will he treated all day and never come back at you, but they generally wear out their welcome. They have big voices and impress strangers with their apparent goodfellowshlp. The man who stands his treat right along has old R. E. Morse sitting on his pillow every ■norning, after he has slept off his drunk. When he looks at his empty pocketbook, he makes vows, saying: the true sportsman about him than his rivals. Just at the height of his fame he was drafted into the army and his year of service set him back in his racing when he again appeared on the track. He found that his lightning sprint had vanished and for a time he devoted himself to middle distance racing with not much suc cess. This year he again turned to the sprints and that the effect of his army life have worn away is shown by his surprising win in the world's championship. Several attempts were made to get Jacquelln to cross the Atlantic and race in America. That was wtien he was in the heyday of his fame and was regarded as the real champion of Europe. But the Frenchman had a horror of the water and although rich purses were offered he turned them all down. He did consent to cross tho English channel once or twice, but even this short voyage upset him. NOT FANATICS, mistaken Notions About Cause of Chinese Disturbances, It is a mistaken notion that the at tacks upon the foreigners by the Chi nese are inspired by religious fanati cism. Indeed, there is nothing in the three religions of China to arouse fanatical emotion. It might be said further that the religions of China are less religion and more philosophy. Confucianism is a philosophy, with religion as an incidental. The Budd hism of China lost in Its translation from India its intense religious fer vor, and converted its poetry into a cold and unfeeling idolatry. Lao Tao ism is about equal parts of religion and philosophy, the religious part corresponding to western spiritual ism; the philosophy is that founded and exploited by Loa-tsze, who was born in the fourth century before the Christian era. There is nothing, as said above, in any of these religio phitosophies to impel the greater por tion of 400,000,000 people to commit the brutal excesses recently recounted by the cables from China. Ronlly Too Pollto. An American, who will never allow a woman to stand In a street car if he has a seat to offer her, met with disas ter in Hamburg lately, writes a for eign correspondent. He was not fa miliar with street car rules in Ham burg, and lost a. fare in consequence. As he stepped on the car and took the only vacant seat at the rear end, the conductor lowered a sign that read "Besetzt." He did not know that the word meant "occupied" nor under stand its signification. At the next corner the car stopped, one passenger got off and two women got on. One of the women took the vacant seat and quick as thought our polite American arose and offered his seat to the other one, who accepted it. The conductor came from the further end of the car, explained to the polite man that the vehicle was overcrowded, contrary tc law, and that as he was the one who was standing he must alight. He did so. "Great Scott! If God will only forgiv< me this time I'll swear I'll quit! 1 don't mean that I'll quit drinking en tirely, but I'll quit hanging out at bar-rooms and treating fellows whe are of no earthly good to me." FALSE TEETH. What Itoconif-M of tho Myriads of Then} Made Every Year? What becomes of the hundreds ol thousands of artificial teeth made and sold annually? Before attempting to answer the question it may bo as well to consider how these artificial teeth are made. When plates were discov ered and the expert dentist was able to supply a whole mouthful of new teeth the teeth themselves were carved out of ivory. But constant grinding would wear away the ivory, and these elephant teeth were not satisfactory. To-day all artificial teeth are made of porcelain, and will outlast a Methuse lah. The porcelain material, which contains various mineral proportions, is worked up like a sort of dough or plaster, forced into molds and fused by intense heat in a furnace. Each tooth is covered with enamel, and has one or more metal pins in the back to hold it to the plate. In large lots these teeth can be made very cheaply, but there is one item of expense that cannot be overcome, and that is the cost of the metal holding pin. The only metal which will stand the in tense heat of the porcelain furnace is platinum, and that costs at tho rate of a cent a pin simply for the raw material. But as there are people who are not satisfied with ready-made clothing, so there are people who are not satisfied with ready-made teeth. False teeth may look Just as well or better than real ones, but public speak ers, singers and other prominent peo ple want their own teeth reproduced in all their peculiarities of form and color, and fillings, if they have them. In teeth that are made to order noth ing is Impossible, from the short, white teeth of normal youth to the long, discolored ones of extreme ago. And now for the answer to the ques tion, "What becomes of false teeth?" Sometimes they are lost, sometimes stolen and sometimes left as a family legacy. Generally, however, they are burled with the owner and lie forever hidden in the ground.—Cincinnati En quirer.

Cleaning Cfkrprt. on the Floor, One of the newest discoveries of the housekeeper is that a carpet may be cleaned without going through the trials of removing it from the floor. All that she needs are a piece of soap, a basin of warm water, a wet towel and u dry towel. First, one strip of the earpet must be rubbed down with the wet towel. Then it must be rubbed wltb the dry cake of soap, after which follows a scrubbing with a wet cloth until a foamy lather Is produced. Wipe this awny with the wet towel, going over It many times till the soap is all wiped away, then linisli by a thorough course of treatment with the dry tow el. Talcing the carpet strip by strip, go over the entire surface until it is clean. Th. Color or lillntl*. The remarkable and widely varying properties of the elementary colors which compose white light suggest that the employment of screens as in the blinds placed over our windows should be founded on a scientific basis. Our knowledge of the properties of each individual section of the spec trum Is not exact, but this much we do know, that the raj s of least refrangibillty, the rod rays, are without direct cheihieal effects, they occur at the heat end of the spectrum. On the other hand, the rays of the highest refrangibillty contain the vio let rays which chemically are exceed ingly nctive. It is these rays which arc concerned in photography and doubtless also in the great process of vegetable nutrition and growth. The object of blinds is, of course, twofold— to keep a room cool and to screen out some of the light, so as to avoid the bleaching of coloring materials of the carpets and furniture. At the same time sufficient light must be admit ted so that the occupant may see with out difficulty. What then is the best color for this purpose? Since light ex erts the peculiar action due to the ac tinic rays which materially and whole somely affect the air of a dwelling room care should obviously be taken not to exclude all the rays that are so concerned. Thus ruby or ornnge-red material would bo contralndicated. Abundance of light is inimical to the life of micro-organisms, so that a ma terial in some shape of a compromise should tie selected. The best for tills purpose Is probably a dellcntaely oehcr colored fabric. This would screen part of the active light rays, and If of a fair thickness the greater part of the heat rays, while admitting sufficient active rnys to allow of a wholesome effect upon the room and its surround ings. Venetian blinds do not allow of the graduation, which is desirable with cloth fabric.

ENGLISH DOCTOR'S FEES. Larger than In Other Countries ant? Fortune* Have lleen Amassed. Perhaps the physicians of England receive larger fees than their brother practitioners in other countries of the world. The greatest medical feature of the century, as might have been ex pected. has fallen to the lot of Sir William Jenner, who died a short time ago at the ripe old age of S3 years. Sir William, who was always liberal in his expenditure and his charities, left a personal estate of the value of £395,- 900. In his palmiest days Sir William more than once made £2,000 by a single week's work, although natur ally his average earnings were much below this amount. He himself, how ever, estimated his aggregate profes sional income for the last 30 years of his active life at over half a mil lion pounds sterling, and yet this king of doctors has been known to travel 1 to a distant suburb and talte a t',VO £inea fee with a smile and a "Than.-: you." Some of the largest recorded medical fees, however, fall to his lot, and he is said to have received £20,- 000 for his attendance on the late prince consort and the Prince of Wales during their two eerious. and in one case fatal, illnesses. Sir William Gull, who had nine years less of life, amassed £344,023, the second medical fortune of the century, Sir Andrew Clark, with a still shorter life, accu mulated £146,746. It is significant that some of the medical men who have reapted the largest harvests have been proprietors of private asylums. Dr. Paul, proprietor of the Camberwell House Private Asylum, amassed over £IOO,OOO, and Dr. William Wood, of the Priory Private Asylum, Roehamp ton, left £67,000. Fifteen physicians who have died quite recently left he hind them an aggregate fortune of £2,000,000, or the gratifying average savings of £133,000. Sir Morell Mac kenzie is said to have received £20,- 900 for attending Frederick the Noble, but at his death left only £21,953. These fortunes become intelligible when we consider that a fashionable physician frequently earns frcm 100 to 200 guineas In a couple of hours' morn ing consultations, and that there are many days on which his fees amount to 300 guineas or more. An ordinary fee for attending a patient at a dis tance of 200 miles from town would be 250 guineas, and for an operation at this distance a fashionable surgeon would get considerably mart. —Utica Slob.e BEAUTIFUL FEET BARE. Prwient-Day Footwear Distort, the Ex tremitles Abominably. A man who denies that he is pre judiced, but claims that he Is a good judge of feminine beauty, declares that there is scarcely a beautiful foot to be found among the women of to day. The high heels, the exaggerated curve at the ball of the foot, the stifi heel stays and the pointed toes, he de clares, have distorted the foot in a painful and ugly vianner. The ankles are misshapen. In some cases the bones are enlv.rged until they Wulgi out so that every bone is perceptible. The weight of the body thrown upon the toes has caused them to spread out. Crowded into pointed toes, they stick up in clusters of knotty corns. The foot should be as shapely as th band. Footwear should fit as a glove fits the hand. The perfect foot is Blender, with an arched instep and toes that lie smoothly and easily. The first step toward acquiring a pretty foot is to wear shoes that fit it comfortably. The next is to take exercises that will render the toes strong and supple. Be gin by spreading out the toes to thl utmost extent; then hold four toes still and attempt to move the remaining one. Every toe should be stralghte; and shorter than the next one and the arch should be shapely and pliant. The feminine foot of today renders a grace ful carriage an impossibility. And all because Dame Fashion has decreed that a short, high-heeled, pointed-toe shoe is the correct thing in dressy footgear, forgetting that there never was a human foot built that way.
