Patronize Our Advertisers. During this and next week a great many thousands of dollars will bo spent by the people of this vicinity In pur chases incident to the holidays. The Tribune's advertisers are the progres sive merchants of this town and they have inadc every preparation to meet the demands of the holiday trade. We do not believe there are a dozen people here who contemplate the purchase of any article that they cannot find in one or more of the business places repre sented in our columns, and buy to just as good advantage as they can else where. Why, then, should they not patronize the business man at {home, who pays taxes here, who gives employ ment to local residents, who contributes to the support of local government, who aids in building up the town? A large proportion of the money spent at home remains in circulation at homo. Every dollar sent away* from home increases the volume of money in circulation elsewhere and to that ex tent diminishes the volume in circula tion here. The merchants and tradesmen# who advertise in this paper show their enter prise and progressiveness by asking for the people's patronage through the me dium which covers the territory from which buyers may bo expected. These merchants want your trado and every reader should give them his or her sup port, when prices and qualities are as favorable as can be obtained elsewhere. The president and Secretary Gage are now raising a .storm because con gress wants to reduce taxation too tuueh. It's all a question of beer, the reduction of the revenue from this source being the traditional $10,000,000 straw that breaks the bank. But then, what can be done? The brewers paid their cam paign subscriptions like little men and now they want their reward. It is pretty hard to learn, via Great Britain, that the * BritlshLgoverninent justifies Kitchener's Woylerization of South Africa by two clauses in the laws of war as laid down by the United States war department after the Philippine troubles began. The United States is getting into awfully had company these days. What a contrast brave little Holland presents to Germany and the United States! Emperor William, who sent so warm a telegram of congratulation to Krugor when lie crushed* the Jainieson raid, and Uncle Sam, who protested so energetically against the Woylerization of Cuba, seem now to have drawn in their horns. Never before in the history of tho country, not even during our desperate struggles in I s j.

McKiuley is not a bad sort of a fellow, but why should lie be picked out for such high and dangerous honor? American merchantmen once held the seas because ships could bo built cheaper here than elsewhere. Then came a period when this was not so and we lost our shipping. But now again, America can build ships—steel ones, this time—cheaper than they can be built anywhere else. What then of subsidies to encourage them?

The waves roll high and toss the 6hfp, A plaything on their turbid crest; * The sea lifts up its eager arms And opens wide lis heaving breast. But safely still the vessel rides, For ore there is who guides aright. Because his eyes arc fixed upon Those faithful beacons of the night.

Yon Wonlil De Snrprlned If Yon Heard Its Einct Imitation. "Olio of the strangest things in life," said an amateur philosopher of Camp street, "is the fact that we never really become acquainted witli our physical selves. Here I have been living in this body of mine for nearly 50 years, yet 1 have no idea how 1 look, how 1 bear myself, what sort of an impression I make on the minds of others when they meet me in daily intercourse. 1 don't even know how my own voice sounds, although I've been listening to it ever since I can remember. Did you ever hear yourself talk In a phono- ; graph? No? Well, try It the next time you have a chance, and you will ■ not only be astonished, but, what is j still stranger, you will be disappointed, ( probably a little shocked. Everybody has that experience. "I supposed that I was perfectly fa miliar with my own voice and thought j privately that it was rather agreeable. I bad been told so plenty of times by other people and never knew that they were only 'jollying' me until I made n phonographic 'record' and set it grind- < lug.

The voice Is always abso lutely unfamiliar and positively un- i pleasant. Yet there Is a certain some- i thing about It that differentiates it I from any other voice you ever heard in 1 your life something indescribable < that gives you a little secret thrill clear i down to the soles of your feet.

Only one man < bad all of the fingers he was born with. "They're riveters from Schoenville," raid a man who was asked. "They say most of the male children born down there now have the forefinger missing from their right hand. The riveters at the Pressed Steel Car shop work one inside of tho ear and one outside. The man inside shoves the rivets through, and tho man outside swings the ham mer. They are paid by 'tho piece,' and they work fast Often the rivet won't fit, and if the man inside of the car happens to be new at the work he sticks his fin ger through the hole to learn what Is wrong.

A Woman Who Milken a llUNlncait of Foretelling the Fate of KIDKS. In Paris they call Mine, de Thebes the clairvoyant of royalty. This woman claims to have foretold, by the examination of plaster casts of the king's hands, the violent death which came to Humbert of Italy. Moreover, she declares that to Crisp!, the Italian premier, she gaye advance notice of the terrible disaster to the Italian troops in Abyssinia. To a Paris paper of several years ago She points for confirmation of her MMS. DE TIIKHF.S. statement that she prophesied the war between China and the powers. It is easy to make claims. Mine, de Thebes also finds it profitable. Her parlors are constantly full of waiting clients. William of Germany and Nicholas of Russia are among the mighty poten tates whose hands, she declares, she has read. Window I'lnntn. When selecting your plants for the window garden, you must take into consideration the light, heating and ventilation of the room in which they are to spend the winter, for all these help to make your work a success or a failure. There are plants 4 hat will thrive under one set of conditions which would die under another, but I have yet to see the window where plants of some sort might not Do rais ed. When one can go direct to a florist and explain the conditions, the matter is easily settled. When that is not pos sible, one must learn by reading and experience. The otaheitc orange is easily grown and is most interesting. When but a few Inches high, one may see oranges, blossoms and buds on the same plant. I have seen one seven Inches in circumference upon which the ripe fruit bung for a year. Dwarf cannas are also quite easily grown and give a tropical effect to the room that is most cheering in cold weather.—N. B. H. in Housekeeper. I.ord uitd I.inly Hopctotin. • When in Melbourne, Lord and Lady Ilopetoiin gained a great popularity. They entertained lavishly and were full of young life and spirits. Their doings were the talk of every one—the menagerie of animals they kept, the original parties they gave and the pic turesque attire which they made their servants adopt when waiting at table. They were juvenile enough to ho up to pranks, but their pranks were always innocent ones, and they enjoyed them together like children. In appearance Lady Ilopctoun is particularly at tractive, her face has gained in soft, gentle expression, and her carriage is full of dignity. Like her husband, she has a real love for animals and keeps a good many pets at Ilopetouu House. Of Shetland ponies she is particularly fond and enjoys driving her pair for miles over her estate. The countess lias many accomplishments, but driv ing is her favorite hobby. A Word About Glycerin. Since HO many people use pure glycer in for the skin a word of caution seems necessary. If you apply a little glycer in to the tip of the tongue, you will find that, although it has a pleasant, sweet tuste, the first sensation that is felt is one of pain ami burning. This is caused by the fact that glycerin has a strong affinity for water and that it absorbs all the moisture from the sur face which it touches, thus drying up and parching the nerves. Ignorant of this fact, nurses and mothers have ap plied pure glycerin to the chafed skin of infants, producing often great pain. The glycerin ought to have been first mixed with an equal bulk of water. This being done, it may be applied to the most tender surfaces without pro ducing Injury, and, as it does not dry up, it virtually maintains the part in a constantly moist condition, excluding the air and promoting the healing proc ess. < (Mil ill ui nit Fmnllj Nniiim. Passing family names along from gonrnii it ii t<> generation is H well es tablished eiisiom in the large and ever increasing family circle of the royal I house of England. Queen Victoria has no less than seven namesakes among her living descendants. These are a daughter, the Princess Victoria, who ! married Frederick of Prussia; three granddaughters and three great-graud ; daughters. It is not at all probable, 1 therefore, that English royalty will lack a Victoria for a long time to come. May Dispense With Chaperon. This year's social history marks an important date, for it was the first sea son in which young girls In England have been officially permitted to go out without u chaperon. This is certainly one of the greatest social changes of j recent date, mid, though Lady Jcune j hopes that the innovation is only tem porary, there is every reason to believe that the days for the chaperon are gone j and that they will not return until au ' other social revolution is upon us. Eilnciitlon Fop Women, The United States are all right In respect to the education of women. Great Britain lags a little behind, but she is trying to catcli up. France Is giving her women the best possible opportunities in this direction. In the French institutions for what is called the higher education there were en rolled in 18S0 1,000 women and In 1000 20,000. In the other European coun tries there is a disposition to open the j universities to girls, but a lack of the I necessary preparatory schools. Ger : many, which gives to men educational advantages which are not surpassed in i the world, is not abreast with most civilized nations in educating wo ! men. The present Russian minister of j education lias recently stated that "a 12 years' course of uninterrupted study I would make such demands on the . mental and physical powers of girls j that, after graduation, they would be | unfitted for life's work." Only a hun- I dred years behind the times, that's all. There is, however, some advance aloug this Hue even in Germany. Japan lias shown her Cbararterlstlc ally progressive spirit in providing al ready a university education for new women. Even Honduras has establish ed an American college for girls, and little Porto Rico sends up to know If Chicago university will not take some of her men ami women too. It may be said in general terms that the modern tendency of all civilized nations is in the direction of educating women. Without education they must remain in an inferior position. With educa tion there is no limit to their possible achievements. She Secured 111* Pnrdon. There is a rich young farmer, once a ; convict. In the state of Kentucky, who owes his liberty and happiness to a ■ woman novelist. This woman novelist J is Ilallie Ermlnie Itives, author of "A j Furnace of Earth." He was sentenced to a long term In the penitentiary at Frankfort for killing a drunken man In self defense. Miss Itives became in terested 111 the case, quietly searched I the evidence and bided her time. Her i chance came when she was a guest at j the houjje of the secretary of state at i the capital. One day while Governor j Brown and her host were chatting on ■ the piazza she appeared with a hamper ! of good tilings and asked the gentle- I men to accompany her to the prison. I She delivered her hamper to the pris | oner, asked him a few tactful ques tions, and the trio returned. In the evening- Governor Brown, struck with | the episode, inquired of her tin- reason of tills jtartlculnr 'sympathy.

Correct the Children In Private. "Do not reprimand your children in the presence of company," says Miriam E. Rrozman in The Mother's Journal. "Spare your guests the mortification. Do not Imagine that It shows you are j a painstaking mother trying your best to train and bring your children up perfectly. | "Do all your teaching before the com ; puny arrives or after, if your child is so very misbehaving, keep him out I while you are entertaining a caller or ! a friend at dinner. There is nothing j that will so mar the pleasure of a ! crowd at a table as to witness a child I get a scolding and sometimes even a I slap in the face or a jerk by the ear or sent out of the room. I "You will notice that it puts a kind | of damper on the good nature of the \ company. All will wear a guilty look I and feel that the performance took place in their honor, and the child, too, ! in Ids own little mind, will conclude that it was through the Influence of the company that he was thus treated." ; Many articles, such as screens of all ; descriptions, workboxes, tables, llower ' pots, wall pockets, etc., may be dec ! orated in Hie following simple manner, ! using autumn leaves, dissolved gum i arable, black paint, copal varnish, etc. Select perfect leaves, rub the article to he ornamented with sandpaper and give a coat of black paint.

Fnivy- Work In Ceramics—A {Tueftal Homemade Device Kitchen Wclffhta and Meanurca, It is not absolutely necessary that the girl who wishes to decorate some cups and saucers for her tea table should understand all about ceramic art, for pleasing decorative results can be produced on chiua with a steel pen and gold that has been properly pre | pared. As a matter of fact, the scrolls and borders on cups, saucers and plates are never put on with a brush, but with a pen. To start with, the worker must pro cure a prettily shaped, perfectly plain cup and saucer, which must he mois tened with alcohol after first being care fully washed and dried; then some bottles of luster—green, pink and vio let, for Instance—a bottle of essence for mixing gold and a small square sbader. If a strong color is desired, the luster must be used In its full strength, but to secure a daintier ef fect a little of the essence must be taken on the brush before dipping into the bottle of luster. The luster is best kept In a bottle, as it evaporates quick ly when exposed to the air and should never come in contact with turpentine. To free the brush from color it should be dipped in alcohol, kept in a small open vessel, and the worker needs also to have a dauber. An old silk hand kerchief or piece of surgeon's cotton will serve the purpose. To tint the cup start at the top with the rose luster. Work into this deli cately, the green toward the top, deep ening with the violet toward the bot tom. Pad as soon as there is enough of one color to pad into another. If the worker waits until the entire sur face is colored, It Is apt to become too dry to blend the different colors into each other evenly. When the tinting is finished, let the piece stand until perfectly dry. Then the gold should be mixed with gold es sence to such a consistency that it will flow from the pen. If it is too thick, it will not flow, and If it is too thin it w* nib off the china when it comes from the kiln. When skill has been acquir ed. a girl witli artistic ability may dec orate the china with some effective graceful design before it lias been fired. The beginner, however, is apt to lie more successful if she apply the gold design when the article comes back from the kiln. The handling of gold with the pen is no more difficult than writing with ink, but a new pen should always be mois tened before the work is begun. Cnnily Recipe*.
