Woman Teller For a Chicago Hank. Tlie Fourth National Bank will on August 1 inaugurate a new movement In banking circles by opening a de partment for tlie exclusive beueilt of its women customers. Women patrons 1 will bo served at a separate window by a woman teller. Added interest attaches to this in novation from the fact that the posi tion will be tilled by one df the best known young women In Atlanta. Miss Jennie Armstrong, for many years Identified with the Girls' High School as assistant principal, has been to-day appointed to the position of teller, with exclusive charge of the woman's de partment. In the Inauguration of this new de partment for the exclusive use of , women, the Fourth Nationnl is the | first bank in the South to follow the precedent established by some of the largest banking institutions of the East. Notably among such institu tions is the Fifth Avenue Bank of New York, the deposits of which ag gregate $30,000,000, of which amount $30,000,000 stand to the credit of women depositors. The officials of the bank, being ques tioned as to the purposes and plans at the new department, said: "The woman's window and the wom an's teller will enable our numerous patrons among tlie women to avoid the disagreeable necessity of standing In an indiscriminate line. Among the details of the plan will be a handsome combination check and passbook bound in Itussian leather, and a size to slip into a lady's card ease. An- J other attractive feature will bo the payment, at the new window, of all checks In fresh and unused currency." —Atlanta Journal. In CliooHln? a Dress. Ac exchange suggests trying a fabric next your hand if there t no mirror, as the complexion of it is about the same as that of the face. This may be so, but, as the eyes and hair are quite as important factors as the skin, we can but be of the opinion that a mir ror is a necessity. If a shop is to be found which is not liberally supplied with mirrors we should by all means advise the woman intent upon dress buying to provide herself with her toilet mirror; smaller sorts will not be satisfactory. Having taken her position before the counter an end of the contemplted goods is draped over her shoulder, or ?if It be henvy, let it be flat and plain— !he way it is to be made—and she can Judge whether or no she is at her best in It. The woman who buys a material because it looks well on the saleswoman's person ought to be in the sartorial kindergarten. Of course, there's no necessity for ex ploiting one's toilet mirror, but If a inirrorless store were to be found we certainly should advise a woman not to hesitate. Furthermore, she should try her ma terial just where she is to wear it. •She'll be disappointed if sli6 tries a pink rose for her liat beside her chin, as many women do, since a color's ef fect is often very different above or below the face. Red or pluk on the hat may rob a face of every vestige of color, while these same shades placed under the chin may throw a warm glow over the complexion. There's nothing to do but to try It before a *Sj€iirror! \ U.o of Perfumes. Many women of good taste say that the use of perfume is vulgar, and other women of equally good taste proclaim that It is not. Which one of these is right the individual must decide. One thing is certain; excessive use of per fume is vulgar; It is the abuse and not the use of perfume that makes it un popular with women of refined tastes.: When perfume is used the woman \ should select whatever scent is the most agreeable to her, and use that alone. Nothing can be worse taste than a confusion of scents. A delicate perfume of good quality Is the most desirable, and then one shquld have everything the same scent. Sachet powder will be required for the scent bags scattered about among ' ue underwear; the face powder should TW of the same make, as should also the soap. As to extracts, people vary in these, but quite the best taste is to have the extract and toilette water the same scent as all the others, and if , a delicate scent is used on the hand kerchief there is no reason whatever for calling it vulgar taste; there have been times when a scented handker chief has been known to revive a person who felt faint, and when no smelling salts were at hand. Walking Good Kxpi-cine. Girls do not appreciate the advan tages of walking as they should. It has been said by an eminent physician that walking is the exercise most con ducive to physical beauty in woman. Tennis is supposed to be good exer jMise, but it has a tendency to lengthen the arms, and also to make the height of the shoulders uneven. Cycling, when much practised, renders women rather awkward in their walk; they ac quire a sort of plunging motion that is not altogether graceful, says Woman's Life. Croquet docs not give the continuous exercise of the whole system that walking does. Of all the ways in which women take physical exercise there is none so conducive to health and beauty of form as walking. Per haps the reason why systematic walk ing for health's sake is not more popu lar Is that it Is so cheap and so con : venient. We generally prefer that f which costs money, and is otherwise not obtainable by all. As an easy and safe contributory to health, walking ought to be regularly persevered in, in all but the worst weather. j Silk Glove* Embroidered. t Embroidered silk gloves are one of . the dainty extravagances of the sea f son, the vogue for embroideries iu , fabrics having reached hundwear. The r embroidered gloves have tiny pansies, daisies, violets or forget-me-nots em . broidered in a section two inches wide . around the wrist. They are executed . either in the natural colors or in the , exact shade of the glove, the latter , style being undoubtedly destined to 1 greater popularity. In better grades r the embroidery extends to the back , of the hand, where- it occupies the . place of the usual points. In the elbow gloves for evening wear, where the embroidery is most appro > priate and beautiful, it is found both , on the backs of the hands and in a section four inches wide around the I wrist. Half way up the arm there is [ also a four-inch semi-transparent, ellip tical medallion, also embroidered, j These gloves have double-tipped fin gers, unusual in long silk gloves, and t are shown in black, pearl, white, mode j and light gray. Children's Fashlonc. Aesthetic dress always seems to be 1 suitable to little children. They have taken kindly to the Russian blouse. Sometimes the waist line is ignored ' altogether, and the garment falls from the shoulders to the feet in an un broken line from a pretty yoke or collar. Boys' waists seem to be given a longer length than girls', of course in their tender youth. Flowered muslin, delaines and challis make pretty little frocks for girls, with yokes and frill- Ings round the hem. A novel Idea is a , yoke piece from the waist smocked; this being elastic, it adheres nicely to the figure. For wearing with the first breeches there is a curious little gar ment, which is Blipped over the head, and has no fastening at all; It is set [ in a yoke and box pleated, the ma terial being nllowed to fall as it will from the shoulders; the sleeves are ; slashed on the outside of the arms, and show under white ones, apparently part of the yoke. Sometimes It is made to button down the back. Charlotte Corday HatH. 1 This is an original adaptation of a ' mob cap to a hat. It is, iu fact, a ' muslin hat with a couple of pleated frillings round, and very pretty too. - Sometimes it is made of-whlte crepe, I with black muslin spots over pink ' silk, and roses figure In the front, and - black velvet bows at the back. It i should be accompanied by a picture ' frock with a fichu and bell sleeves. 1 Everybody who dresses well now, and '■ likes to wear a high collar, appears to i supplement it with a colored ribbon around the neck, and the old fashioned - gold roses, attached to hearts, are i much in character with it. I Elaborate Lace Mitft. Lace mits grow more elaborate as the . season advances. They come in all lengths and colors, although black and t white are the preferable shades. Fanhlon Notes. All sorts of pleatings arc modish. , Inlaid tucking looks rather well on ; Silk. I Old blue Is a shade that seems to be i gaining popularity 1 Deep turn-back cuffs of heavy lace 1 ' adorn evening cloaks. The mercerizing process has made common dresses handsomer. Coarse open linen weaves do not . necessarily become shapeless, i Already we hear of changing sleeve i fullness to above the elbow. ■ Gowns of gray cheviot, with white 1 ■ reliefs, are especially smart. Inlets of pleated lace or net give fullness to some long dress cloaks. | White pearl buttons fasten the , blouses and skirts of some bicycle . suits. White grenadine, trimmed with pink L panne, makes an effective afternoon gown. Platform hats that take a sudden , drop in the back are very becoming to , some faces. As stocks become depleted It is more • and more trouble to match large and : small lace figures. Dutch necks are more becoming to ' some than are the round shapes that come just to the base of the neck. ' Some of the new tucked shirt waists ] have French knots embroidered on them in black, thus giving a pretty \ contrast. Lace medallions caught together with narrow ribbon velvet make a very pretty trimming on gowns of light ! woolen material. Lace hip yokes give skirts a modish air and are very efficient in concealing any piecing that may have been cm- i ■ ployed to lengthen the skirt. Particularly effective are the accor- < ' dion pleated ruffs now so much worn. They come in all colors, but those in - black and white are preferred. i Every complete wardrobe must have 1 a long coat. They are made with full ' effect and are apparently shapeless, | although much attention has been paid , to getting this effect, i Ostrich feather boas are seen again, i some in the old, round shape, but the smartest ones are in wide, flat stoles, i When boas are worn it is always bet ter taste to have them the same colon as the gown. HOUSEHOLD . PATTERS To Preserve Brass Ornaments. Brass ornaments, when not gilt or lacquered, may be cleaned and a fine color given to them by two simple processes. The first is to beat sal am moniac into a fine powder, then to moisten it with soft water, rubbing it on the ornaments, which must be heated, and rubbed dry with bran and whitening. The second is to wash the brass work with rock alum boiled In a strong lye, in the proportion of one ounce to a pint; when dry it must be rubbed off with tripoli. Either of these processes will give brass the brilliancy of gold. Fried Peppera. Fried peppers are not any too well known. The peppers should be sliced crosswise, freed from the seeds and left in cold water for a quarter of an hour or more. Drain and dry these Bliees, sprinkle over them a little salt and dip them into flour. Have ready a little olive oil in which to fry the peppers. Do not let them brown too deeply, and serve with steak. Again they may be broiled, though in this case the peppers should be cut into quarters and, after the seeds have been removed, cooked on a greased broiler until the edges begin to curl. They should then be brushed with butter, seasoned with a little salt and Berved on a steak. Mushroom Soup. Something really new in the soup line Is a difficult matter for the home ca terer to achieve, but with mushrooms as the basis she may serve a delicacy In this line that will set the family guessing what can have produced such a savory flavor. Odds and ends of mushrooms, fresh and good, but to be had at low price because they are the bottom of a basket and not fit to serve whole, will answer excellently for this purpose. Wash and peel about a pint of these, put them into a saucepan with a pint of boiling water; boil until ten der, then rub through a sieve. Prepare a cream by stirring a tablespoonful of dour into one of boiling water, and add. iug slowly to this a quart of hot milk. Season with salt and pepper, stir until smooth and thick, add the mushrooms and stir until blended, when it is ready to serve. If too thick, stir in a lfttle boiling water. Boiling Vejre tables, A great many cookbooks order all fresh vegetables to be placed in an abundance of boiling water and cooked slowly for a considerable time. Many vegetables are ruined by being cooked in this way. Potatoes, asparagus, peas anil cauliflower should be boiled in a small amount of water and cooked steadily but slowly. Overboiling will make all of these vegetables tasteless. Do not salt any of them until they are half done. The best way to cook beets is in cold water. Wash them well, being careful not to puncture them or break off the tops. Put in a saucepan, cover witli water, add a handful of salt and two tablespoofuls of vinegar. Let them boil rapidly for an hour and ten min utes. If old beets, cook an hour longer. Lift one by one into cold water, peel and return to the water In which they were boiled if they are to be cooled. Carrots should be scraped and washed, cut in slices half an inch thick and cook in salted water for thirty minutes. Serve In a cream sauce. String beans should be boiled slowlv for two hours. . . RECIPES Fried Green Bananas A Cuban woman is responsible for these direc tions: Peel green bananas, cut them in two, lengthwise and crosswise, and fry them like French fried potatoes, in deep fat. Ten Funeh—Few beverages find readier favor during the hot weather than tea punch. To make it, pour boil lug lemonade, sweetened to taste, over the tea leaves, and allow the liquid to stand until cold. Then strain and serve in tall glasses with shaved ice and slices of lemon. Egg Fondue—Beat four eggs until light; add to them a little pepper and salt to season, two tablespoonfuls of parmesan cheese and two tablespoon fuls of milk; put one tablespoonful of butter in the frying pan; when it Is hot turn in the egg mixture and stir until thickened; serve on squares or rounds of buttered toast. Scones—Mix and sift together two cupfuls of sifted flour, four level tea spooul'uls of baking powder, half a tablespoonful of sugar and half a ten spoouful of salt; rub into the flour with the tips of the lingers four level table spooufuls of butter; then add two beaten eggs and one-third cup cream; toss on a floured board; roll three fourths of an inch in thickness; cut in squares; brush with white of egg; sprinkle with sugar and bake in a hot oven fifteen minutes. Mock Bisque Soup—Scald half a cup of bread crumbs with one quart of milk, one-half onion stuck with four cloves; add a sprig of parsley nnd a ! small piece of bay leaf; remove the seasonings and rub through a sieve; cook half a can of tomatoes in an agate pau; add two teaspooufuls of sugar; : let cook for Hfteeu minutes and add one-fourth teaspoon of soda; rub through a strainer; heat the bread and milk to boiling; add tomatoes; put three level teaspoonfuls of butter in a tureen, a little pepper and one teaspoon of salt; pour the soup over this; serve very hot. 1 VECETABLE MIMICRY. Stapella and Other Flower. That Hava Fetid Odnra. . Quite a number of flowers have dls- I tinctly mimetic odors. It cau hardly " be doubted, for example, that the of- I fensive smell -of the carrion flowers ' stapelia, Aristolocliia, arum, ralllesia r and others is more effective in promot- E ing cross fertilization because of its - resemblance to the odor of putrid meat. So completely are the flesh flies do ' ceived that they often deposit their ' eggs on the petals of carrion flowers. 3 Fetid odors occur in byronia, hello ' borus, geranium, stnehys, ballota, iris 3 and other genera. The odor of others 1 have a curious resemblance to the 3 pmells emitted by certain animals. 3 Hypericum lilrinum and orchis hlrcina 3 are bad-stnolling flowers with an odor ' , resembling that of the goat; corlan drum sativum has the fetid smell of hugs, while the hemlock, again, emits I a strong odor of mice. Along with ' these may be mentioned adoxa, the ' musk orchis, the grape hyacinth nnd ' other musky-scented flowers. 1 | The resemblance in smell between theße flowers and the secretion formed in the scent glands of the musk ox nnd other animals is. to say the least, |a remarkable coincidence. Possibly iflies which aceompauy cattle may be gttracted by smells of this description. iVery curious also is the vinous smell of oenanthe, and the brandy-like aromn of the yellow water lily nupliar. henco called the brandy bottle Ethernl oils exhaled by plants, while attractive to some animals, seem to repel others; ' i the scents of sweet-smelling flowers, | such as daphne, thymus, marjoram, melllotus and gymnndemia, though I grateful to bees and butterflies, appear ! to be dlstnstefui to ruminants. Kcrner states that in general the latter avoid 1 all blossoms; even the caterpillars do not readily attack the petals of their food plants. Odor may therefore lie 1 protective or attractive or It may be ■ pf use in both ways. The same remark 1 applies to color, which may serve 1 either to attract or repel; the richly ! ' variegated leaves of the Indian nettles 1 —species of colcus—and the tinted foliage of begonia and geranium may i possibly escape Injury on account of • the general resemblance to colored ' blossoms. Instances in which one plant resembles another in smell are • | not very common in the flowering , class, though cases do occur like the garlic mustard and apple-scented saliva. Resembling odors are much more frequent among fungi.—Knowl edge. When the Tenderfoot Was "It." "Several years ago I was down in the 1 Indian Territory on a trip," said the | dancing man, "and some of my friends ' got up a dance for me. I asked my ! most particular friend what I should ! wear. He informed me, full dress. ' I went that way and was the only one | at the dance with even a white shirt : on, and was the target for all the eyes ,in the hall. Naturally I felt very un comfortable. The girls, however, were taken with me at once, and any one of | them was mine for the asking. In j fact, I forgot for a while there were | any other other men present. The j cowboys stood around like a iot of j 'has beens.' I was 'it' for once in my | life. Eight months later I made a re turn visit to tills little town, eighty miles from a railroad, and happened to strike the place on the eve of a dunce by a club that had been formed that season. I received an invitation from my friend, and, remembering my prev ; lous experience, attended the dance in my traveling clothes. No dress suit again for Willie. To my surprise, when I emerged from the dressing room, I found all the men in lull dress, and a more evenly balanced lot of dressy fellows I never saw, all being dressed exuetly alike. I was the only 'has been' in the hall. I learned that the club had engaged a tailor to come in and tlx them all up correctly." Spalu Ha. Cash and Vigor. Spain recently asked for a loan of some $05,000,000 at four per cent., and four times the amount has been sub scribed in the country. It will be re culled tliut the Spanish people sur prised the world with taking up the war loans, showing that while Spain is poor, she still has money put away : and that it is at the disposition of the Government. In some sections of the country the peasant laborers are crushed down by the agents of the rich land owners, and in other places strikes among operatives in the factories are common. Therefore It is all the more admirable that the people, as a whole, should be in possession of so much good cash. Spain will always be the land of the unexpected; the Spanish nation has been demonstrated to be unconquerable by an invader; it has an ideal of life very different from that of other Europeaupeoples, and probably , has more true happiness every day in | the year. Spain Is a country being I kept for a great role in the future. The j people are virile and unspoiled; they uold a strategical situatiuu on the map of Europe, aud we may consider them | to be waiting the call of a high des- | tiny.—Mexican Herald. Fruit Juices Kill Disease Germs, Many eminent bacteriologists call at tention to the power of fruit juices to I kill disease germs. Lemon juice aud apple juice are especially mentioned, j the one containing citric acid and the other malic acid. Cholera germs are i . killed In fifteen minutes by either, aud typhoid germs in half an hour. It' a lemon be squeezed iuto a glass of water j containing cholera germs, the water may be drunk with perfect safety if allowed to stand for fifteen or twenty j minutes. A fruit diet will cleanse the stomach and the alimentary canal, aud ! drive off or kill many of the germs that cause disease. OUR. BUDGET OF HUMOR. I Inharmonious.

But Scourge of the Canadian Wilds Will Not Voluntarily Attack Nan. Scarcely another animal presents such a striking picture of savage hatred, of uncompromising ferocity as a Canadian lynx at bay. That brutal head, with low forehead, beneath which two cruel eyes are blazing like evil stars; that fierce display of teeth between the parted wrinkled lips, and the massive, powerful feet, hiding flesh-tearing hooks of living steel, all impress the beholder with the fact that a personal encounter with a Canadian wildcat must end in dcatli for at least one of the combatants. Not that the lynx is specially aggres sive In his attitude toward men—far from it—and the stories of how he fol lows belated hunters through the over hanging branches of the forest trees, seeking a favorite opportunity to spring upon his human prey, are pro ducts of the imagination. But when, after a chase, he is driven to take refuge in a tree, where ho crouches in preparation for his last battle, I would prefer, unless armed with a rifle, to interview almost any other creature of equal weight. Many years ago the Canadian lynx was to be found in the mountainous districts of New England, New York and Pennsylvania, but now he is sel dom seen far south of the Canadian border. lie is to be met with in La brador, and is quite common In certain parts of the Dominion, where lie is bunted chiefly for his skin. He is somewhat larger than the com mon American wildcat (lynx rufus), and, moreover, his head is rounded and broader in proportion than that of his kinsman. His triangular, furry ears are each tipped with a tuft of coarse black hair. The general color of the body is gray, with many irregu lar darker spots; the fur on the under side of the body is lighter. Beginning at the ears and extending downward around the throat is a ruff of longer hair, which adds not a little to the animal's appearance of ferocity. The tall is short, thick and well covered with hair. He is splendidly adapted for the wild life which he leads. Clad in his thick winter fud, he can resist the most penetrating cold, and when his hunting luck is against him, as it often is. his great vitality enables him to exist for many days without food. His methods of pursuing and capturing his prey are very similar to those adopted by the domestic cat.—Ottawa Free Press. WORDS OF WISDOM. Be temperate in all tilings. A woman's tongue is her sword, and she does not let it rust. The cheerful live longest in years, and afterward in our regards. To see what is right, and not to do it k is want of courage or of principle. We prepare ourselves for eternity by doing our day's work while it is day. Work is healthful until one lives fo? it, then it is but drudgery, and spirit racking. You cannot make much progress if you let yourself slide down six dayi and only try to climb up on one. It is strange how much colder it is in winter and how much hotter in sum mer on Sundays than on other days. A certain fastidiousness is some times mistaken for fine sensibility, when it is the refinement of selfishness. Let us endeavor hereafter to uplift humanity individually, and not in the mass. Massing humanity will not do. Love is strong as Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.—Proverbs of Solo mon. lie that has ouce done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged. lie who gives away money or goods may impoverish himself.

On the programme a certain vocalist was down to sing "The Miner's Dream of Home," and to add special effect to the song he, having a friend a fireman at the lire station, about three minutes' walk from the hall, ran out and borrowed his top-boots. His turn on the pre gramme came around. He appeared on the stage in all the glory of a red blouse, slouch hat, white breeches and (the liremau'st top-boots. His rendering of the song was a great success up to the middle of the second verse, when a commo tion was heard at the entrance of the hall. Then a hot and eager fireman forced his way through the audience lip to the footlights, and bawled out at tlm top of his voice: "Bill, you've got to come out of them 'ere boots if you value your life.
