Af ter experimenting a little on himself first, the artist undertook the opera tion. It is said that the woman emerged from it with a fresh pink and white complexion, warranted to hold its color in the wash and not to wear out. She U an AUmtral. There is only one lady in the world who has the distinction of being an Ad miral in the Russian Navy, Queen Ol ga of Greece*. This honor was con ferred upou her by the late Emperor on account, of her knowledge of nauti cal affairs, and of her interest in Rus sian seamen. In this respect she ex cels her husband. King George, for al though he served for some time in the British Navy he never attained any high rank. Worked Her Own Mine. Mrs. Kay, who recently struck it rich In her mine in Arizona, worked a long lime for her success. Her husband was a hard working man. but there was nothing left out of his wages wiien tin* family had beer, provided for to de velop her claim. So she developed it herself when she had time from her housework. She handled the drill and hammer, put in the charges and wheeled out the debris after the explosion. .Site worked in this way for a long time. A few months ago, when she went back Into her tunnel after a round of shots, site found a vein opened and big chunks of ore bearing rock lying about. Now she has a force of men under her and is making money, it is said. Adjnultng thu Kilby's Diet. The sjeond year of childhood, dread ed by all mothers as the most trying in tilt 1 baby's life, is rendered more so by the difficulty of adjusting the diet for a proper transition from mill; to solid food. The tenement house mother of the New York foreign ward solves the question very promptly and simply by setting the youngster at the table with the rest and bestowing upon him sauer kraut. watermelon and any other de lectable dainty that may happen along. Dr. Henry Dwight Chapin, one of the professors at the New York Post Grad uate School and Hospital, gives tin following menu for the second year: Emits of vaVious kinds are early al lowable. such as apple sauce, baked ap ple. stewed dried apples, stewed prunes and orange juice. The skins of fruits should never be given. All vegetables should be cooked until as tender as a< parngus lips. Begin (lie year with one soft, semi solid meal a day, to take the place of one bottle. Gradually add a second and third meal. A good mixture for the very firsr solid food is stale bread crumbs or nwelback soaked in hot water and served in milk. A fresh egg. boiled for two minutes and mixed with crumbs, is good, and cereals cooked to a Jelly and served in milk. Choose the highest grades of oats, which have less husk, and change from one cereal to another for variety. Meat broths, preferably mutton nr chicken, may begin tin* second year. Between eighteen mouths and two years the meats may begin, sparingly !nd always finely minced. Scraped [beef, rare roast beef, broiled steak or ■mutton chops, roast lamb, th* white meat of the chicken, and fresh fish, boiled or broiled, may be given, in amounts varying with the amount of exercise and outdoor life the child gets. 'So fried food or tea, coffee or beer 1 should be allowed. Any succulent vogetatde. very thoroughly cooked, or any milk pudding, may be given. At the beginning of the second yea. the l.aby will want one night bottle, and a child can have a bottle once or twice a day if he cares for it until he is three or four years old. New articles of food should bo introduced into the baby's diet tentatively. Find out what His Majesty thrives on and let him have it. A great variety is not necessary.—New York Tribune. Tilt- Wimmn. Many a woman has spent her time wondering what trait in her sex man most admires. The subject has been discussed and haggled over for centur ies to no purpose. The only thing the poor woman can think now is that a man wants her to be everything that he for the moment desires and nothing That he does not. It is said that no two men. having seen Helen of Troy, described her in like terms. She appeared to each as the personification of Ms ideal, and each therefore worshiped her. What should a woman be to be all to n man? Constancy, faithfulness, truth and honesty always command admira tion. to say nothing of respect, but a man will perhaps say: ‘'Give me the woman who is all devotion, whose love is dependent and who is trusting.” The subject was discussed at a tea the other afternoon by three women, one of whom mentioned the last sen tence. One of the others said: ‘Ob, yes, that's very nice when an other man will say, '1 prefer the wom an who "paddles her own canoe." who depends upon her own resources,’ as you know." Said the third: “How flattering it is, isn't it. ,lo hear a man say: 'Give me the woman who is good, but not prud ish; who loves a good time, but tem pers it with good judgment.’ That's tiie kind of man I hate—who thinks women are" for amusement, nothing else." ■lust then two men pome near, and one of the women turned around and said. "Mr. Blank, what trait do you most admire in a woman?" This came with such a bombshell effect that the man seemed dazed, but being newly engaged that fact may have had some thing to do with his manner. The man who was with him turned around and said: "If you want my opinion I'll bo very glad to give it—that is, if you want an unbiased opinion 1 might begin by lelliug tiie things 1 don't admire, and then you could judge of what I do, hut 1 won't do that, So 1 will merely say that she must tie unselfish, constant, not jealous, honest, Umdtiveand. above all, love me more than any one in I lie world, which will be the best of all.” The three women looked at each other, and one said. “What a pity it is (hat he wants one of the heavenly band, for there's no woman on this vain | soaked earth that will suit his high j mightiness.”—New York Journal. .Towt*l uml til** Individual. “I like jewelry that is characteris tic," she said, as she toyed nonchalant ly with tier chain of grayish silver ami coral and smiled complacently over her brooch of Nova Scotia crystals, sot in dull metals by a clever art jeweler of Halifax. "I value jewelry in propor tion to its onusualness. It must have a meaning for the wearer alone, and it must, above all, be something different from that worn by other women. "I know a woman who iias a set of things I frankly covet. They are made of copper.

"In tiie days wiipn # tho fiat golden hearts were all too common I had one made, but with a difference, with a monogram, pierced, inside the outer rim. and I have never seen another like if. I heard of somebody the other day who collected little old oval paste buckles, and when she had enough had them made into a chain-like collar to fit round her throat over a velvet hand.

I: was Donald’s first year at school and ho came home one day a very sober boy. "Mamma," lie said, "the teacher says if we do it again we'll all have to stay after school. 1 don't know just what it is—if we whisper or we don’t study but anyway it's something like that, and when she told us. we all cried together.” "Well.” said mamma, "you need not feel badly, because i don't suppose you will have to stay.” and she gave Donald a reassuring smile. “Why?” he asked. “Because you have too much sense. It must be a very stupid boy who will play and whisper in school and then have to stay In and study in play time." Donald seemed satisfied with this hopeful view of the ease. Two days after, his mamma saw him coming up the street holding his head so high lie fairly leaned over hack ward. He came in and hung up his hat. "Ho! Some boys may like to play and whisper and get kept, but I've got sense! All the boys but me got kept. MISSING PARENTS’ PUZZLE. Kind the father and mother of these children.

Convince yourself, please, that the coin is still in its place.” The performer slips his two hands in between “a” and “b," pulls the handkerchief apart, and the coin is gone, absolutely gone. While folding end "a” over the coin the performer slips a small hall of wax underneath the end and presses the end against the coin, fastening the two together. When he pulls the handkerchief apart the coin slips into his left hand, blinking the handker chief, he removes wax and coin, and returns the handkerchief to its owner. —New York Tribune.

The “American invasion” of Canada is assuming proportions that are nl mosc alarming to those who fear the future domination of settlers from the States. It is estimated that in the first seven months of the present year over 5,000.000 acres of land in Manitoba and Northwest Canada have been pur chased by citizens of tile United States. A recent issue of" the Medicine Hat News says: “The influx of settlers to the Canadian West is slifiply wonder ful. At Medicine Hat we are in a po sition to size up the great incoming, es pecially of Americans, as we see here, daily, train load after train load of would-be settlers, bringing with them car-loads of miscellaneous effects— horses, cattle, implements, household stuff. The rush of settlers is unprece dented, and is taxing the railways to the limit to handle the business in con nection with their trade.” Iloiv to firovr. The proprietor of a small store in New York says Ids trade came from only a small section of the city until he began to advertise In a newspaper. Now lie draws enough trade from be yond his old limits to more than pay for his advertising. “Besides,” lie says, "I am sowing seed for the time when l shall have a large department store. The only way for my establishment to grow is by newspaper advertising” Americans Are Forest Lovers By Ebon Grccnaujjih Sccut. iwJsraaEsaaß f all the forest-loving races of Europe, none-has sought the woods I for the woods’ sake, like unto the English-spanking people; nor 1 lias ever afforded the spectacle of an annual migration to. the' L Jt I wilderness in such magnitude as do the Americans' of to-day. 8 They go with the eagerness of bounds loosed froth the leash, and, I buoyant with tiie spirit of adventure, accept adventure's strokes I—l — 1 Bor rewards with the indifference or delight of n knight of La 8 Mancha. Nor have the Americans stayed at the mere enjoyment M.sa*aaaaaK# of their adventure; they hare embodied it in their literature. They have been the first people to introduce into fiction the life, savage and civilized, of the forest, and to portray in classical accents the real life of the woods, tli lakes, and the plains. Their first novelist of reputation, Cooper, laid his scenes in the forests of tiie upper Hudson, of the Susquehanna, and in the Oak Openings of Michigan: Irving descends the Big Horn in a bull bout, and follows the adventurers across the Great Plains and the Rocky Moun tains, and through the desolation of Snake River io the Oregon: and Parkman, enlightened by his tribeship with the Ogalnllas, has endued history with tiie spirit of the wilderness, and has drawn inspiration from its woods and streams. The greatest and best of the Americans, their writers, poets, philosophers and statesmen, all have worshiped Great Pan in his groves. Bryant, Lowell. Emerson, Agassiz made annual pilgrimages to the woods: Webster composed a part of his Bunker Hill Monument oration on a trout stream; death overtook Governor Russell on the banks of a salmon river: and the present President of Hie United States was called out of the to assume his otlioe; while President Harrison, the moment his duties were done, turned his back on the White House and sought repose in a cabin on the Fulton Chain. These are a few only of the worthies of our land out of Hie great number who have hied to the woods for rest, recreation, observation and inspiration; who, indeed, have gone into the woods for the woods' sake. We can say of the American forest what Jacques dtt Bois said of the forest of Arden; Men of great worth resorted to this forest every day. $ 9 v $ : * v Imaginary Crimes By Major Richard Sylvester, Superintendent of the Washington (D. C.) Police. SN every walk of life we meet with queer and at times sur prising experiences, but the police hear and see more that tends to question humanity than employes in any other line of work. It seems strange, hut nevertheless it is true, that persons have dreams and hallucinations which are reported to the police as facts for investigation. Dreaming of robbers, they have awakened suddenly with all the excitement and alarm that would attach to a genuine ease, fired revolvers at the supposed intruder and only been reconciled to their mistake after close inquiry proves it such. 1 know of a case where it was reported that a burglar knocked at the bedroom door before entering to carry off money and valuables. There was abother instance of a prominent official of the Government who, while ex periencing the wildest horrors in his sleep, jumped out of bed and fought the bedpost, imagining that lie was attacked by burglars, and the exhaustion which followed hts midnight defense was as great as if he had actually encountered marauders. This gentleman had seen service In the Mexican War and through the Civil War, and had hand-to-hand encounters which, however, were attend ed with hardly more serious results than the imaginary conflict. The greatest imposition is that which occurs a great many times a year when persons who cannot or do not want to pay their just debts report that they have been robbed of sums of money. Tl*e will prearrange to give color to the truth of their report, but are generally found out in the end. A man has been known to have reported being held up by footpads in order to avoid paying out part of his income to his wife, and all kinds of losses have occurred to those who courted the sympathy of creditors about the first of the month. The public should not, believe everything they read and hear about burg laries and highway robberies, for many of the cases so reported, after investi gation, are shown to be without foundation. America’s Great Future. By President Roosevelt. 0118 world has never seen more marvellous prosperity than that which avc now enjoy, and this prosperity Is not ephermeral. We shall have our ups and downs. The wave at times will recede, but the tide will go steadily higher. Tills country has never yet been called upon to meet a crisis in war or a crisis In peace to which it did not eventually prove equal, and decade by decade its power grows greater and the likelihood of its meeting successfully any crisis becomes even more assured. We are optimists. We spurn the teachings of despair and distrust. We have an abiding faith in tlit* growing strength, the growing future of the mighty young nation still In the flush of its youth and yet already with the might of a giant which stands on a continent and grasps an ocean with either hand. Succeed? Of course we shall succeed. How call success fail to come to a race of masterful energy and resolute character, which has a continent for the base of its domain, and which feels within its veins the thrill that comes to generous souls when their strength stirs in them and they know that the till ure Is theirs. No great destiny ever yet came to a nation whose people were laggards or faint-hearted. No great destiny ever yet came to a people walking with their eyes on the ground and their faces shrouded in gloom. No great destiny ever yet came to a people who feared the future, who feared failure more titan they hoped for success. With such as these wp have no part. We know there are dangers ahead, as avc know there are evils to fight and overcome, but avc feel to the full that pulse of the prosperity which Ave enjoy. .Stout of heart avc see acrass the dangers the great future that lies beyond, and avc rejoice as a giant refreshed, as a strong man girt for the race; and we go down into the arena where the nations strive for mastery, our hearts lifted with the faith that to us and to our children and our children’s children It shall be given to make this Republic the greatest of all the peoples of mankind. Why Country Boys Succeed By John Gilmer Speed. COUNTRY boy's lack of opportunity is his best equipment for Hr)> ■ tJr.-Sj the serious struggles of life. This sounds paradoxical, but it is O A U true. ÜBt as * nle as t * le °PP ositl - proposition, that the f\ n greatest hindrances a city boy has to contend with are the op -0 &fj portunities which beset him when young and pursue him until t? .... .1- 'v he begins the real business of life a business which each Ihdl -2222222—2i vidual must carry on for himself. For the city boy everything is made as easy as possible. Even pleasure becomes to him an old story before he is out of his teens. Brought up in the feverish rush of a place Avhere great things are happening day by day, he sees the Avorld with a cynic’s eyes ur.d despises the small things which, like the bricks in a house, go to the upbuilding of characters and careers. He believes in using large markers in the game of life; for pennies and small units of value he iias little taste and scant regard. The conditions surrounding the country hoy are as different as possible. There is a deal of regular Avork that every country boy must do, and this regularity of employment, mostly out of doors, inculcates industrious habits, Avhile it contributes to a physical development which in after years is just as valuable as any athletic training that can he had. He cannot run as fast, perhaps, as those trained by a system; he may not be able to jump so high or so far, or excel in any of the sports upon which avc bestow so much time and from which Ave get so much of pleasure, but his development enables him to buckle down to the hard Avork in which hours are consumed and from Avliich very little or no immediate pleasure is extracted. His strength may be some thing like that of the cart horse, but the cart horse is to be preferred where a long and steady pull is required. The thoroughbred race horse has a fine flight of speed and canters with delightful lightness and grace along the park bridle paths, but the heavy work is the work most in demand, and for that we Avant the draft animals every time. Enthusiasm is the spur to endeavor, and at the same time it is the saver of life. The country boy whose ambition has taken him to town comes filled svllb enthusiasms. Even the little things are novelties to him, and as he accomplishes this and that he feels that he is doing something not only interesting hut valuable. His simple tastes have not been spoiled by a multiplicity of gratifi cations, and so he is glad of everything good that comes his Avay. At thirty, if he leads a clean life, he has more of the boy in him than his city cousin nag left at fifteen. He does what is before him because it is his duty, while the other is too apt cynically to question the value of doing anything and ask “What is the use?” NOVEMBER-30 Bhe Funny w fide of Life , Love's Prisoner. llv who flirts and runs ;nvay Will live to flirt another day, Hut lie who flirt* aud stands his ground Will all Km noon be gagged and bound. * -Life.
