weight.
Kounil moves 1,112 feet per second,
light 102,000 miles a second and elec
tricity 288,000 miles a second.
The rotation of a waterspout nt the
surface of the sea has been estimated
us 354 mtles an hour, or nearly six
miles a minute.
Tho sun's light is equal to 5,503 wax
candles at one foot from the eye. It
would take 800,000 full moons to equal
cloudless sunshine.
It Is probable thut the temperature

""" ' DRESS HINTS. "
Brown oyes ami a bruwu dress go
well together.
The tan shades ure not often suitable
for slliu figures.
Black veils, unless quite fresh and
clean, are injurious to the complexion.
If you drop netd on your clothes, the
Immediate application of ammonia will
destroy the effect
Dull lilack is the best choice for a
fair haired woman, while a brunette
must order something brilliantly black
if she really wishes to look her best.
Silks and ribbons may be cleaned
and made to look like new by spong
ing them with equal parts of strong
tea and vinegar. Iron with a not too
hot iron.
Patent leather shoes should be cleaned
with milk, or a little sweet oil may be
rubbed into them. The soles and lwols
of such shoes areof course to be cleaned
with blacking.
If a shoe be accidentally scorched, it
can be restored by spreading the place
at once with soft soap and when cool
wiping off the soap and rubbing the
leather with a little sweet oil or vnse
lluc.
A "Violet Si>oniinir."
The twentieth century woman Is
above all things dainty. She delights
In perfumes and toilet waters and
sachet powders, and she does not care
who knows it. The woman of the past
used to tremble with feur of being nc
eused of "painting" and would blush
with wrath if n man dared suggest
that she used a bit of fuee powder.
The woman of today has on her toilet
table powders and toilet waters galore
and would no more do without her
dally talcum powdering from heud to
foot than a baby can do without its
matutinal tubbing and powdering.
A "violet sponging" sounds u trifle
extravagant, but In reality it Is a most
economical way of securing a luxuri
ous finish to a commonplace dally bath.
After the pores have boon opened by a
full length thorough tubbing they ure
ready for the violet sponge off. A
basin of tepid water generously sprin
kled with violet toilet water from an
atomizer, a velvety sponge, a few quick
passes over the body, and eacli pore Is
Invested with flowery fragrance that is
the adoration of a woman who delights
In an exquisite and dainty personality.
Meat For Children.
One of the most unfortunate evil con
sequences of un early and liberal meat
diet, says Dr. Winters, is the loss of
relish It creates for the physiological
foods of childhood—milk, cereals and
vegetables. "A child that is allowed a
generous meat diet," he adds, "Is cer
tain to refuse cereals und vegetables.
Meat by its stimulating effect produces
a habit as surely us does alcohol, tea
or coffee and a distaste for less satis
fying foods. The foods which the meat
eating child eschews contain In large
proportions certain mineral constitu
ents which arc; essential to bodily nu
trition and health and without which
the processes of fresh growth and de
velopment nre stunted. There! is more
so called nervousness, anaemia, rheu
matism, valvular disease of the heart

dren from an excess of meat and Its
preparations In the diet than from idl

The* Gloricn of Womunhood.
A serene and gentle dignity; a tran
quil wisdom to counsel und restrain; a
line delicacy of feeling, quick to re
joice, tender to suffer, yet patient to
endure; a sulH.le sense of the value of
small, un pur chasuble things; a power
of great confidence and of self sacrifice
ulmost limitless where love speaks the
word and duty shows the task; an in
stinct of protection and a joyous pride
in mothering the weak; a brave loyalty
to the rights of the heart against "the
freezing reason's colder part;" a noble
hunger und thirst for harmony; an im
pregnable streifgth of personal reserve
and un exhaustions generosity of per
sonal surrender—these are the native
glories of womanhood. These ure the
things that life, if true and well or
dered, should deepen, untold, brighten
and harmonize in the perfection of a
woman's character.—lienry Van Dyke

Mrs. Luellu Lane of Rumford Falls,
Me., tlie mother of eight children and a
comparatively young woman, is the
proprietor of one of the most nourish
ing farms of her vicinity. Five years
ago when she took charge of the estate
of 300 acres it was in a run down con
dition and was stocked with imple
ments which were of the most prim
itive sort. Dairying is Mrs. Lane's
specialty. She has a herd of twenty
live thoroughbred Ilolstoin cows, from
twenty to forty hogs, according to the
season, and keeps five work horses
busy. Her farm is stocked with tools
and machines of the most improved
kinds.
Sprinkling: Clothe*.
Wbere there is a heavy weekly wash
a small watering pot with the finest
possible rose comes handy for the
sprinkling—ever so much handler than
the tin clothes sprinkler sold in the
shops. But the very best sprinkler Is
a good sized atomizer, such us green
house men use for spraying plants.
Choose one to tit the haud, neither toe
big nor small enough to cramp it. It
sends out a fine, misty spray that
dampens clothes ail over, yet makes

CEMETERY LIGHTS
When I was about fourteen, my
mother, whose health had been declin
ing for some years, determined to leave
the city and try country life for a
change. She purchased an old estate
some three miles out of the city of It.
which had been over a century in one
family, who parted with their old
homestead because loss of property
made it Impossible for them to keep up
former style and grandeur.
One of the conditions of the sale was
that the family graveyard should not
be disturbed in any way. It was a
beautiful spot, about two acres in ex
tent and about half an acre from the
dwelling, Just to the right, and where
the windows of both stories on the
right side of the house and the piazza
in front would overlook it.
I never was a cowardly child, and
this resting place of the dead was a fa
vorite resort with me, and on moon
light nights I would wander for hours
through its walks without one thought
of fear or dread of those resting in
their last sleep around me, freed from
the care and turmoil of life.
When we moved to our new home,
my fuvorlte brother, who was six years
my elder, was away at college and it
was not till some months after that
he returned home for vacation at a
time when our country home presented
its most charming aspect—had dressed
itself in its gayest robes to welcome
him, I said—and superbly beautiful
were its robes of green and rainbow
tints.
lie had been absent so long from
home that it was not until after sup
per and evening worship that I could
carry him off to my favorite spot. He
was somewhat prepared for its beau
ties from my rhapsodies about it in
my letters, but said, as we stood on a
little knoll Just at the entrance and
looked over it, that I had not done it
Justice, cloqueut as I had been in its
praise.
We wore wandering through its walks
and I was asking a thousand questions
that kept him busy in answering when
suddenly he stopped a moment and
said, "Are you never afraid of this
place?"
"No, Jamie, darling. Why should I
be?" I asked.
"You come often here alone after
night, Lizzie. Are you not startled
sometimes?"
"No. Why do you ask?" I replied.
"Oil, nothing. Only do you see any
thing there peculiar in appearance?"
he asked, pointing to a spot where a
tall marble tablet gleamed in the moon
light.
"Nothing, Jamie, but the slab of mar
ble."
"Let's go up there for a moment," he
then said, and we turned toward the
spot.
Upon reaching it I saw nothing, but
I could see that he did see something
that surprised and somewhat startled
him. While standing there he moved
his little walking stick to and fro and
after a few minutes said: "That will
do. Now let's return to the house, and
I'll tell you why I ask those questions."
Upon reaching the piazza we sat
down upon the top step and looked
over to the graveyard. Ho sat still for
a few minutes and then said:
"Well, Lizzie, I have often heard and
have read of what 1 saw tonight, but I
never thought to see it myself, for I
never credited it. At that grave where
we stopped I saw a blue fiame rise
from the ground and gradually take
the human form, or, rather, inside of
the cloud of blue flame 1 saw a human
shape, and when we went up to it I
could distinctly see the contour of the
whole figure, though I could not dis
cern features. It is startling, but It is
not supernatural. U 1 did.not know
that you were a brave little girl and
not frightened by shadows, I'd not toll
you this, for I cannot tell you the cause
more than this: Wherever there are
decaying human bodies there is a gas
generated that rises and assumes the
human form, though indistinctly and
not to be seen by every one. Now,
there in the cemetery I see three of
those pillars of blue flame and 110
doubt would see more If all ports of
the place were visible from here."
I did not doubt Jamie's seriousness
In what he said, and, though it puzzled
me, it did not scare me, for he told me
it could be accounted for by men of
science, and my faith in him was too
unswerving for me to doubt for a mo
ment anything I saw him convinced
of, and it dUI not hinder me from tak
ing many a long walk in the lovely
spot or from again spending many an
hour there in pleasant reverie and cas
tle building in Spain.
During our residence there two other
persons told me they saw the same
thing, one a young cousin, a delicate,
gentle girl, too gentle and conscientious
to equivocate and too accustomed to
seeing such things to be frightened at
them. The other was a man in ids
prime, a judge and a statesman of
note, who saw it 011 two or three dif
ferent occasions while staying at our
house on visits. The first time he was
standing at ills bedroom window, just
after ids visit, and did not know that
there was a burial place so close to the
house. After that lie saw it from the
piazza and in the cemetery after dusk.
Ilere I give you my unvarnished tale.
I wish I could give you the scientific
why and wherefore. This I cannot do,
though, and you must rest content in
your ignorance or find them out for
yourself.

A Gigantic Sodilna of War.
11l the Japanese capital there is a gi
gantic image of a woman made of
wood, iron and plaster. The time of Its
erection and the name of its designer
are in dispute, hut it is known to have
been dedicated to Hachlniau, the god
of war. In height it measures fifty
four feet, the head alone, which Is
reached by a winding stairway in the
interior of the figure, being capable of
holding a company of twenty persons.
The goddess holds a sword in her right
hand and a huge painted wooden hall
in the left. Internally the statue is the
finest anatomical model in existence,
every bone, joint and ligament being
represented 011 a gigantic scale in pro
portion to the height and general size
of the huge figure itself. The large
eyes are magnifying glasses, through
which a lino view of the surrounding
country may he had.
