Women's Collars of Aluminum. / 'Aluminum is now used in making fcollars for women. The metal is cut In strips long enough to go around the neck and of any desired height, and Ithen for the sake of ventilation It is teut lattice fashion so that it looks hot altogether unlike a strip of patent (fencing for a henyard. When In use (the aluminum is covered with the dace or ribbon which forms the visible part of the collar and It won't wilt (under a heat less than 700 degrees Fahrenheit. 1 The Elaborate Negligee. f So far nothing has appeared to take the place of alternating rows of satin ribbon and lace insertion for tho elab orate negligee. This combination is found to look rich and beautiful to a degree, and if tho lace be of a dainty, Blmy weave and tho ribbon of a pretty and becoming color the scheme leaves little to be desired. It's a mere mnt- Iter of taste as to which direction the stripes thus gained shall take. The short woman, though, will choose fchem up and down, the too tall woman 'round and 'round, while the woman of medium size may have them either jway. Or they may go on the bias, mltering down the back and front; ibut this arrangement will not hold Its shape as well. r- Octogenarian. I Although eighty-two years old thiß Bummer, Mrs. H. P.

Her life-story, as told in the (Ladies' Ilomo Journal, Is a pictur esque and exciting one. Born at Fort Crawford, Wisconsin, on July 1, 1810, Ithe daughter of one regular army officer and the widow of another, she passed through all the trials, hard ships and adventures of military and pioneer life on the frontier, and al though she has spent most of her later yenrs in cities, her experiences have still been of a varied and unusual character.

They should be dainty and pretty enough not to look "slouchy," yet be loose and cool enough to be the essence of comfort. The kimonos of pale-tinted lawn, lightweight figure, or inexpensive wash or India silk, or namented with bands of white, is a great favorite, and possesses both the mentioned qualities. More elaborate ones, of course, are to tho fore, one .very charming one being of shell-pink plisse silk liberty, with yoke (from which it hangs straight down) bands, and edge of cream lace. The edge of the lace formed the neck finish, as the yoke was cut with the edge around the neck and there was no collar, t- • * • Fine tucking on lingeries Is being used more than ever.

There are growing rumors of a white-hose fad for wear with summer dresses, but as yet none has appeared n the street. They are so much less becomiug to wear than black ones, that it is probable they will not be generally worn.

Rail, at Earrings as Ilarbarlc. Among the idiotic, absurd and gro tesque customs which still exist in the year 1901, says M. Barntier In the 'New York Herald", the one that holds the record for ineptitude is beyond contradiction that of wearing ear rings. Yet people laugh when they see in . ethnographic museums Boloendos, Caribs, Nyam-Nyams and other abor igines from foreign countries proudly wearing in their noses, lips or ears rings and other vnrled ornaments. But . do not those who laugh frequently have—lf not their noses—their ears pierced and ornamented with some strange object, something of intrinsic value that has been given them? The most affectionate mother trem bles at the :<sea of the pain caused i by inoculation with vaccine; she shud ders at tlie thought of tho touch of a linger nail that will relieve a pain ful gum. Yet with, a light heart she will take her child to the first jeweler or watchmaker to get him to pierce the ears of the Httle one whoso every j cry fills her with anguish. In order to carry out this barbarous practice she stifles the cry of a mother's heart; she sets renson aside and allows her- j self to be influenced by humnn stu- j pldity. The fact is that fashion takes precedence of everything. A few years ago In certain sensible quarters there was an attempt to op pose this barbarous custom. It was to be good style not to wear orna ments in the ears, and women of fashion, sacrificing rather to the cus tom of the moment than to Judicious Ideas of hygiene and good sense, put their sparkling earrings and pendants Into their enskets. But the whole thing ended in smoke. In the name of hygiene, even tradi tional mistakes have been revived. To cure inveterate strangles, to stop the running caused by irritation of the auditory ductß, to cure chronic sup puration of the eyelashes or rhino pharyngitis, the ears have been laden with ridiculous pendants; the lobe has become the chosen place for these barbarous cauteries; in short, tho prac tice of mutilating these little organs under cover of hygiene, as grotesque as it is irrational, is continued. Mutilation of the cars isnolongerany i more justifiable than mutilation of the : nose, tattooing or sacrification of the j face. It is unworthy of a civilized people, of a people aware of the fact | that every effraction of the skin and | every wound Is a door by which death ! may enter.

SUNSTROKE PATHOLOGY INTENSE HEAT AND HUMIDITY PRE VENT EVAPORATION. The Lungs Become Deeply Congested and the Venons System Engorged The Heart Contracted—Cold Douches Often Give Wonderful Relief. There Is no argument necessary to prove that heat In Itself Is the prime causative factor of sunstroke, declares the Medical Record. Most commonly, it is true, the phenomena variously grouped under the designations of In solation, coup de soliel and sonnen stieh are due to the intensity of direct solar rays; they are also induced hy artificial heat in Bhady quarters, and eveu during the night, when high temperatdre and extra humidity pre vent the proper cooling of the body hy natural evaporation. Although different grades of heat exhaustion are given with their cor responding varieties of pathological lesions. It is fair to assume that they depend essentially upon different degrees of action of the primary fac tor. The study of autopslcal lesions In given caSCs is not always satisfactory In reconciling relations of cause and effect When denth is sudden no dis tinctive tissue changes are manifest Under Buch circumstances the condi tion appears to be either that of syn cope from simple failure of heart ac tion, or from direct shock to the vere bral and respiratory centres. The lat ter, termed the asphyxlal form, Is the most commpn and most rapidly fatal. In the hyperpyrexia! varjety, In which the temperature may range from 108 degrees F. to 110 degrees F„ the cerebral lesions are usually quite pro nounced. There pre often evidences of menin gitis, serious effusions In the ventricles and occasionally hemorrhages into the brain substance. In spite of theyje pathological appearances, mostly focused, as they seem to be, in the cerebral centres, the cause of death Is asphyxia and not apoplexy. As evidences of this fact the lungs are deeply congested, the entire venous system Is engorged, the heart is firmly contracted, and the blood Is dark. Im paired In coagulability and lias In- Creased fluidity. In n general way we may, perhaps, explain the existence of the various lesions by the assump tion thnt In all cases the brain and nervous centres, especially the respira tory, are overwhelmed by the sudden elevation of temperature, and respira tion and circulation eventually fall, the latter being probably to the in hibitory Influence of the vngus. It Is simply over-stimulation by heat, fol lowed by eventual exhaustion. In the hyperpyrexia! form, in which the symptoms come on more gradu ally and continue proportionately long er than In the other varieties, there ap pears to he more time and more op portunities for permanent lesions In brain structure. Thus In those who recover' from the immediate attack, there may be marked nnd permanent Impairment of Intellect, frequent headaches, due to subacute meningitis; also loss of memory, eyesight nnd hearing, muscular paralysis and other evidences of permanent absence of nerve force. There can be no question that these changes thus induced are distinctly and diffusively orgnnic in charncter, although, as yet, such are not absolutely explained by any mani fest degeneration in nerve cell struc ture, or In nny uniform retrograde metamorphosis of nervo fiber. The gross lesions are, however, plainly enough seen to cnnblo us to hope that the discovery of the finer ones may be only questions of time, opportunity and study. We only glance cursorily at the gen eral pathology of coup de solell, In order to appreciate such practical matters for treatment as may be thereby suggested. Everything in the way of a promise of absolute recovery depends upon the prompt treatment of the initiatory symptoms. It is only in this way that permanent lesions can be anticipated or prevented. Ouco tjie organic changes are fixed, the vic tim beDmes a hopeless Invalid, with impairment of his most valuable faculties. The main therapeutical in dications are In the direction of modi fying Immediate shock, and of reduc ing more or less rapidly excessive tem perature. In this connection, it Is well to recollect the numbers of important centres involved, nnd the intimate as sociations of some of these with the respiratory and cardiac functions. While it is somewhat doubtful that local cold douches to bead, nock and spine can do much more thnu lower surface temperature tbey certaluly, even in this indirect way, often ac complish wonderful results. It would seem almost like blowing hot and cold with the same breath to advise heart stimulation In connection with the foregohrg measures, but in reality by so doing, we effectually counterbalance the effects of the ultimate exhaustion which always follows the primary overstimulation. In fact, we may work them side by side as indications may demand. It often requires the most careful watching to know when to lean more on one side than the other, and even under most fuvorable circumstances the game may be a los ing one, as it must be recollected that the usual mortality is generally placed at from forty-five to fifty per cent. The main object to be kept in view is the rhythmic restoration of co-ordin ating vital forces. The latter must be ccaxed into line rather than forced. Hence the powerful antipyretics are apt to be dangerous and defeat their object, as well as the more potent nnd pronounced cardiac stimulants. In spite of prompt therapeutic meas ures there are so many relnpses in the shape of subsequent intolerance of solar beat that the conviction is al most Irresistible that in the majority of the severe ease some intricate and undemonstrablc orgnnic nerve degen eration is a foregone conclusion. Dur ing the present hot nnd sultry season there are and will be abundant oppor tunities for according theory with practice, nnd for remembering that sunstroke, in any of its forms, Is a very serious calamity to the victim, requiring the greatest skill on the part of his medical attendant tft meeting the many complete conditions likely to present themselves. A QUEER FRONTIER EXPERIENCE. Why m Western Pioneer Family wd Pick Their Wheat Over. In narrating the frontier expriences oi "The First White Baby Born in the Northwest," In the Ladlos' Home Jour nal, W. S. Harwood tells of a queer ex perience that befell the family In the first year after settling on a farm far removed from the settlements. "The winter had been unusually long and severe, and their store of provisions ran low. It was a long distance to the nearest baso of supplies, and commu catlon with the outside world hud been cut off. Indians In the neighborhood one night broke into the granary where the wheat was stored and stole a quantity. In doing this a large amount of broken glass became mixed with the wheat which the Indians left, so for many days, amid much merry story-telling and many a Joke and laugh, in spite of the serious situation, the family gathered about a Inrge table In their living-room and spent the short winter days picking over the wheat, kernel by "kernel, in order to free it from the pieces of glass. For this wheat stood between them and starvation, nnd none of Its precious kernels must be lost Their stock of flour had long since wasted away, as had most of their food supplies, so they boiled and nte the wheat without grinding. Relief reached them Just in time to prevent a snd ending to the ex perience." WISE WORDS. A triumph never comes without a try. Life's rood rests lightly upon him whose goal is duty. A haggling woman Is nearly as odious as a mean man. Into wisdom's webs wise men their waiting moments weave. It is better to be called proud than to me named a sycophant Health is a touchy possession; dis obey one of its commands and off it goes. Keeping one's grievances to one's self is an excellent proof of mental equipoise. I A sense of Justice gone wrong be comes dangerous. It shows itself in malice, revonge and evil-speaking. In the love of a brave and faithful man there is always a strain of mater nal tenderness; he gives out again those beams of protecting fondness which were shed on him as he lay on his mother's knee. Every hard duty that you would rather not do, that it will cost you patn, or struggle, or sore effort to do, has a blessing to it. Not to do it is to miss that blessing. Every heart load that you are called to lift hides in It self some strange secrets of strength. How the English Make Love. A statistician claims to have learned some remarkable facts concerning the manner fn which English men and women make love. When they are about to propose, ho says, Englishmen act in various ways. Thirty-six out of every hundred toko the young ladles in their arms and then whisper the expected words. The others accompany their words with kisses, which the cold blooded press on the ladies' cheeks, the self-possessed on their hair and the enthusiastic on their lips. Not more than two per cent, of these wooers go down on their knees when proposing. Ten per cent, of them are extremely timid when the crucial moment comes, and, no matter how hard they try, they cannot speak in the ladles' presence. They stop and close their mouths nervously, and all their endeavors to utter words of lovo are utterly vain. About the demeanor of English women on such an occasion the statis tician has also much to tell us. Sixty eight per cent of them, he says, blush when they hear an avowal of love and cover their faces with their hands. One out of a hundred is so overcome with emotion that she falls back on a sofa, and another one immediately rushes off to tell the good news to her friends. Ten out of every hundred remain like statues until the words are uttered and then fall gracefully into the arms cf their wooers. Lightning as Chimneysweep. Employes of the Viuelaml Flint Glass plant are marveling at a weird phenomenon. The furnace was cut of blast and workmen had been set to work to clean the soot from the high smokestack. They were sitting about complaining of the job cn account of the hot weather, when a storm broko upon them, an electric bolt entered the furnace door, went down into the bowels of the furnace and then up the high stack and out. When the men entered the furnace to see how much damage had been done they discovered, much to their amazement and delight, that the lightning, which did no damage what ever, had completely cleaned the inside of the stack and left the soot in a pile at the bottom.—Philadelphia Record.

It Wag 120 Miles Long:, and, Incidentally, the Racers Threw Wooden Ball* IJe foro Them by gleans of Their Toes— Their Swiftness Surprising. Most tourists in Mexico see little of the strange Tauri Mauri Indians, writes the Chihuahua correspondent of the New York Sun. The first Tauri Mauri we saw was a mall carrier among the San Lorenzo Mountains about 120 miles south of Chihuahua. This Indian makes two round trips over a distance of eighty-five miles twice a week, making a total of some 340 miles a week on foot Several times, when the Government had rea sons for rushing malls to their destina tion, he made even three round trips In seven and a half days. The route leads from Guarichlc to Son Jose de los Crues over as rugged a mountain trail as ever tried a mountaineer's muscle. The Indian mail carrier was bare headed and barelegged, his entire suit consisting of about three yards of narrow cloth woven out of goat's hair. On his back was a mail sack, that, with its contents, weighed forty pounds. This was supported by a strap across his forehead and another across his chest He came trottinig flown the hill smoking a cigarette and moving as easily and gracefully as if Just starting out, instead of having some twenty miles already to Ills credit that morning. As he reached the level ground In the vnlley he dropped a ball about the size of a baseball on the ground, and, catching it deftly on his toes, gave it a throw forward and raced after it with the speed of a deer, picking it up on his toes nnd throw ing it forward again without in the least, so far as we could see, checking his speed. As he overtook us the ball was placed in his armpit, nnd be trotted nlong by the side of the mules, chatting quite sociably. The Tauri Mauri ludian carries one of these wooden balls with him every where, tucked under the armpits until he is in a hurry; then it is thrown forward, and away the owner rushes after it. It is their way of keeping in training for all the time, nnd of hur rying themselves over the ground. It is always thrown, from the toos, nnd nevor from the hand. There nre some 40,000 Tauri Mauri Indians In Mexico. Twice every sum mer they meet for a sort of tourna ment. It is a custom centuries old. It was the writer's good fortune to be present at one of these periodical as semblies among the San Lorenzos, about twenty miles southwest from Chihuahua. The Tauri Mauris nre long-limbed nnd slender, giving the impression of being over the average height. There is scarcely any muscle on their puny arms, but their chests are deep, and their backs broad, and their limbs as trim and muscular as a greyhound's They look as If created for speed. The great contest of the tournament was a race. The wagers of the rival towns were piled up in the centre of the plaza, and consisted of strips of goat's-halr cloth, bows, arrows, sandals, goats, chickens, and sheep, with two wooden plows for high prizes; but these were thrown far in the shade when some American visit ors added a cupful of copper coins, a gaudy lithograph, and a water color painting of a cross surrounded with flowers. Such prizes had never been offered In the memory of the oldest Inhabitant, and the runners swore that It should be- the race of their lives. In the afternoon they asked us to look over the course. To our as tonishment we found that it was twelve miles long and that the circuit was to be made ten times. A royal race, indeed, of 120 miles. The race was to be run in the night and con cluded in the cool of the next after noon. About five o'clock in the afternoon everything was ready. Ten athletes stood on the right side of the plaza and ten on the left. To each side one wooden ball was allotted. The racers were dressed in native trunks of goat's hair cloth, and many of these were discarded before the race was over. At the word both of the balls were thrown forward and the twenty bounded forward at a speed that it would tax a bicyclist to keep up with. We thought that such a burst of speed would soon tire them out, but it was meant only for the start of three miles straight away across the valley. Before reaching the other side of the course the runners began cutting off the corners and racing ahead on the oval course so as to receive and carry on the ball of theirparty. The ball was pitched forward by the foot of the lirst one and that side to reach it, and if a rival could reach it first it was thrown back 011 the course. The pur pose was to get the ball around the prescribed course, no matter how, so long as it was touched only by the feet of the-players. To touch it with the hand was to lose all bets. Tripping, crowding, nn<l all the rough work of football players were permitted to prevent an opponent from reaching or throwing the ball. Ituu ners were permitted to cut across the valley at a jog trot, and so be ready to receive the ball as It came along and theu spurt with It Umpires and judges were stationed all over the route to see that the ball was kopt along the designated tract. By seven o'clock the moon came up and the valley was nearly as l'ght as day. Yells as fierce as nuy that greet au audience at Yale or Harvard greeted the bronze Stagg of Glnuchloehic as be hurled the wooden sphere through the plaza, 100 feet ahead of the hall from Zapurl, on the first trip around the valley. The race went on all nlglit. Far Into the afternoon (hey ran, but in a little less than fourteen hours the balls had made the prescribed number of trips around the valley and four runners on one side and three on the other were coming at the top of their speed over the last three miles of grassy lawns toward the goal. A line was drawn in the dust across the street at the edge of the plaza and the crovfd gathered back, awaiting the victors. As they rushed toward us it was impossible to say which would win. But as one runner from each side reached the balls one failed to catch the ball of his side fairly on his foot while going at full speed and his throw was weak; the other, catching the ball fairly, gave a great bound and, twisting his leg as if It were an arm, hurled the ball fair and square over the line and over out heads. How the crowd yelled, and how we yelled with them, and how the reek ing visitors were praised and petted as they sat down to divide their winnings! Soon after a course of about ten miles was laid out around the town and a race was run by the girls of the two pueblos. Like their brothers, they had only the blue sky over them and about three yards of cloth and the Republic of Mexico around them; but how they did run, and how tlie.v set the ball spinning! The bronze Dianas of Guachlochlc won, thereby softening the defeat of their dusky brothers.

Besides general weakness, two things make people liable to colds; Oue, auy chronic irritation of mucous membranes; the other, lack of tone in the tissues covering the body. The latter Is the most frequent source of colds. If people bathed aud rubbed briskly oftner than they do there would be no need of wearing so much clothing to keep them warm. The glow of healthy skin circulation Is warmer and more protective than the thickest of woolen garments, often heavy woolens, by irritating the skin, make the wearer still more suscepti ble to cold. Tile skin is kept in a state of Irritation that seriously Inter feres with the delicate mechanism of its blood supply. Consider bow instan taneous is a blush, and realize tho perfection of this mechanism in health. The best protection against colds in the ordinarily healthy individual is tho dally bath in cool, not cold, water, followed by a brisk rubbing that tells by the pleasurable glow produced bow welcome it is to every little nerve in the skiu. —New York Journal. l\loat Valuable Diamonds. There is no little fiction about the famous diamonds of the world, and their value is largely fictitious. They are few in number, cannot he repro duced, nre everywhere highly prized and can be bought only by the very wealthy. The Prince Edward of Y'ork diamond, said to have been bought by a New Y'ork firm for SIOO,IXIO, Is thirteenth in the list of large diamonds given me by an Importer. There are a dozen different lists. If we may be lieve what Is told with straight faces, the largest of all the diamonds in ex istence is the Braganza. its weight being no less than 1080 carats. It is uncut, and Its value is actually pet down at JBS.'-50,000! It is now among the crown jewels of Portugal. It is thought that this diamond, which Is the size of a lieu's egg. is in reallt a white topaz. —New York Press. Kxtraordliiury Yuluea in Jewels. It is a mistake to suppose that tho diamond is the most precious of all stones. A fine ruby of oue carat is worth $l5O, a sapphire S3OO and i diamond $l5O. At $l5O a carat the Braganza would be worth only $252,- 000, but the ratio of increase in value Is very great per enrnt as the stones grow larger. The Prince Edward ol Y'ork, weighing sixty and one-fourtli carats, would be worth, at $l5O a carat, only $0037.50. But the pric' actually paid was $1525 a carat. At the same price the Braganza would ho worth only $2,502,000. But with tho magnificent size of tills stone the ratio increases to $173,001 a carat. —New Press.
