ular market value; and solely for advertising purposes,

these wagons, sell many of them for twice the money, or
could sell them out to dealers at once for considerable more
than we will get at this sale, but we put them on the mar
ket this way to help them that are already our customers,
and to get others started our way.

FROM A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT
Sad, But Tru?.
The Swiss have a proverb that it is
easier for one mother to keep seven
children, than for seven children to
kep one mother. This is important,
true and lamentable.
Her Half.
“Now that we are married,'’ he said,
“we are one, and I must insists that
this be the last time that you appear
in a low-necked gown.”
“We may be one,” she responded
with asperity, “but you are only half
of us, and I shall dress my half as I
please.”—Young’s Magazine.
Why Hair Curls.
The reason why some hair curls,
and some does not is a perfectly sim
ple one. Curly hair is flat and has a
natural inclination to assume a spiral
form, just as a shading has. Straight
hair is cylindrical, and it is one of the
properties of the cylinder that it has
a greater inclination to stay straight
than any other form of matter. Hence
its use in the formation of bones. —
New York Tribune.
Title of Frau.
Unmarried women who dislike the
thought of bearing the school girl ti
tle of “Miss” to their graves will be
inclined to envy Dr. Yelia Reissig,
who, although unmarried, is legally
entitled to be addressed as Frau Dr.
Reissig. The title of frau, it seems,
goes with the medical degree. Dr.
Reissig is now one of the operating
surgeons at the Vienna hospital.—
New York Tribune.
Womanly Beauty.
Now, I think the most important
feature of womanly beauty is the
smile. This is my chief text: The
smile. It is the main consideration in
the education of the lady. Whatever
may be the rule in other countries, the
founder of this republic made a gov
ernment under which every girl has
before her the hope and expectation
of being a lady. Every American girl
may be a queen. Every time you say
“Good morning,” smile. Every time
you say "Excuse me,” smile. A
“Thank you” without a smile is not
cordial. Smile that you may bring
sunshine. Don’t wait for a smile to
come of its own accord —study to
please and study to smile. Smile
while you study, smile while you
work. See how many smiles you can
furnish in a day. For the smile is the
mark of the lady.—Katherine Blake,
in Primary Education.
American Countess Happy.
At least one happy international
marriage is that of the Countess de
Buissert, who has just reached this
country from Belgium to spend three
months with her mother, Mrs. John
P. Story in Washington. The countess
was Caroline Story, and before her
marriage, a few years ago, she was
known as well in New York and Phil
adelphia society as in the capital.
Miss Story was an intimate friend of
Alice Roosevelt in the days before the
President’s daughter became Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth. Many masculine
hearts were made to flutter by the
beauty and grace of Miss Story, and it
came as a surprise to the majority of
them when she bestowed her hand up
on the Count Conrad de Buissert, at
that time first secretary to the Belgian
legation. The count now is in Tangier,
and the countess has been entertain
ing old girl friends with exciting sto
ries of her experiences in the recent
Moroccan troubles. The countess saw
an encounter between French and
Arabs when she was on a trip with
her husband. Os course, the couple
were safely within the French lines.

French and English Beauty.
A clever French writer comments
Interestingly about the Parisienne’s
standard of beauty—so different from
ours. She says that in the matter of
complexions more than anything else,
perhaps, does the European ideal dif
fer from the Anglo-Saxon, and the rea
son of the difference is a social one.
Where the young girl takes such a
prominent place as she does’in Amer
ica it is not unnatural that full-blOom
cheeks are an accepted standard of
feminine beauty, and as with age they
disappear there is an inclination to re
gret the fact to the extent of resort
ing to a touch of rouge.
The English lady, discreetly or not,
according to her eyesight or the hon
esty of her maid, uses rouge freely,
once her natural high color has de
parted, and when she does retain it, it
is due not to health, but to overeating
or drinking, lack of good circulation,
a deranged nervous system, or a
coarsening, out-of-door life without
proper skin care.
How different is the matter regard
ed on the continent' The Germans are
the only ones who admire rosy cheeks.
The Parisienne would as soon think
of desiring them as of going back to
pigtails and the black cashemire pin
afore of her convent days.
The French, Austrian and Russian
women of fashion, to cite the three
most elegant of the old world, find
their feminine ideal in the married
woman at her prime. Everything that
health and good grooming can do to
preserve and glorify her skin is re
sorted to, but it is not baby pink and
white that they seek, but a more re
fined tint, lower in tone, mellow, like
I - n, ce> a trifle pale, poetical-
ly suggestive.
A-.c pjacu bloom of youth and im
maturity has given way to an exquisite
patine, suph as time and constant eare
lovingly bestow on a fine piece of old
ivory or a bit of preefous wood.
This thought came to me the other
day when some one referred to a fam
ous beauty as having a skin couleur de
lune—color of the moon. Luminous,
matte, velvety, pearly white, vibrant
with color underneath, with life, but
with an idea of the ethereal. —New
York Globe.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward Chews.
People who want to live at the Wal
dorf-Astoria on nothing a year can
solve the probl^&i very simply by
adopting Fletcherism. Then they will
be able to get on either with no meals
at all or only one or two a day, and
of the simplest character.
Talking to the League for Political
Education, Horace Fletcher said that
when staying at the Waldorf he eats
somewhere between 11 o’clock and 6
and satisfies the pangs of hunger on a
bottle of milk, a small pitcher of
cream, bread and butter and a pota
to. There are times, moreover, when
he does not eat at all. He eats twice
a day, or once a week, just as he feels
inclined.
But the supposed tediousness of the
chewing recommended by Mr. Fletch
er need not give one pause, according
to the champion masticator.
“It is only tedious in the beginning,”
he assured the audience. “It is. not
necessary to count the chews, nor to
do anything that detracts from the na
tural enjoyment of food. Fletcherism
is opposed to excess of all kinds, even
excess in chewing.”
Mr. Fletcher said he had been ac
cused of carrying all questions back I
to the question of chewing, and that |
the accusation was just, as they were
all reducible to that or dependent on
it.
"Eating is a religious function,” he 1
declared, "when it is not a sacrilegi
ous abuse of sacred responibilities,
and in the future the doctor of medi
cine and the doctor of divinity will ,
be one. The principles of health are
dental and mental and the dentist
stands at the portal of preventive med
icine.”
Speaking of his own physical col- |
lapse before he took to Fletcherism, I
Mr. Fletcher said that he had been de- j
terred from suicide by the fear of
"missing something agreeable on this
side of the Styx.” He was not afraid
of future retribution, as he had been
“righteous enough to satisfy high
church standards,” though an “egre
gious sinner” in regard to his body.
His recuperation had been paralleled,
he said, by many eminent persons ।
whose names would some time be
known to the public. At present he !
feels free to mention only Mrs. Hum
phry Ward, because she has men
tioned it herself. He has also discov
ered a centenarian who has been j
Fletcherizing for 80 years, but has j
been too busy to talk about it. The
natural term of life, says Mr. Fletch
er, should be 120 years.
Dr. William Gilbert Anderson, direc
tor of the Yale gymnasium, spoke of
the disagreement of the authorities on
the subject of mastication.
“Mr. Fletcher tells us to chew,” he '
said, “and Dr. Wiley says don't chew, I
but swallow your food whole, lik‘- the I
dog. Who is right? The body only can ■
answer. Do whichever you think best,!
but keep records of the results so
that we may know the truth.”
Fashion Notes.
Glazed kid is coming into popular,
favor as a shoe leather.
The use of pure white foliage is :
noted on some smart hats of the sea- ■
son.
, Ribbon never figured more promi'- !
, nently in the trimming of hats than it '
does this season.
: The wide sleeves of last season are
, still used, but they are now called j
■ either “Japanese” or “Mikado.”
Tiny Maltese crosses and other fig
ures are taking the place of the dot
■ on some of the newer veilings.
Not only tunic effects are seen on
' the lingerie dress but the real tunic,
tho finer batistes and the wash voiles.
One must have dark hair and a clear
skin to wear a low-cut evening gown
of melon crepe and coral beads and
jewelry.
’ Pale-pink light-blue and cream-white
threads woven into a moire antique
give it the color and lustre of moth
t er-o’-pearl.
; The lilacs used to trim the season’s
, hats are perfect in shape, but we
i have them in many other colors be
t side their own.
A buckle of Japanese design orna
' ments the front of a suede pump in
5 London smoke color. Woven with the
• buckle is a silk bow of gray.
1 In addition to the gaily colored cre
-3 tonne coats the French are wearing
l ’ separate coats of linen in bright col
n ors with skirts of plain serge.

j tiny fruit, beginning at the base and
() wending their way round and round

; . that is ornamented with Irish crochet

The
General Demand
of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could *
sanction for family use because its com- ’
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in^ffect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-<
eellent combination of Syrup of Figs and "
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig SyrUp 5
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies*
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success. -*
That is one of many reasons wh^
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy -
the genuine—manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale -
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle. - ,

world the chaps who hadn’t energy <

Book Renting.
Book selling and book renting are
often carried on side by side and un
der the same management, ehop
[ worn or soiled or second-hand books
' being relegated to the loan depart
-1 ment of the business; but in a Phil
adelphia bookstore an attractive
modification or reversal of this plan
is in operation. On shelves accessi
ble to the public there has been
placed an inviting array of new nov
els, in alphabetical order, and from
this supply of fresh, clean “best
sellers” (and best-lenders) any per
-1 son of good credit may borrow such
। volume or volumes as he desires at
i two cents a day for each, the mini
mum charge on each book thus loan
ed being six cents, or a three-days’
rental. With the first appearance of
1 dog’s-ears and thumb-prints a book is
' transferred to the hurt-book counter,
I there to await a buyer, and. a frosh
copy takes its place on the loan-shelv
es if the demand for it still contin
ues. —The Dial.
Time and Eternity.
“On one occasion, when in con-
I gress ” said James F. Banks, of Bost-
I ton, “Gen. Benjamin Butler arose in
' his place and intimated that the mem-
I ber who occupied the floor was trans
gressing the limits of debate.
“ ‘Why, General,’ said the member,
reproachfully, ‘you divided your time
with me.’
‘“I know I did,’ rejoined Butler,
. grimly, ‘but I didn’t divide eternity
| with you.’ ” —Washington Herald.
j “TWO TOPERS.”
A Teacher’s Experience.
I "My friends call me ‘The Postum
i Preacher,’ ” writes a Minn, school
I teacher, “because I preach the gospel
i of Postum everywhere I go, and have
I been the means of liberating many
‘coffee-pot slaves.’
“I don’t care what they call me so
long as I can help others to see what
they lose by sticking to coffee, and
can show them the way to steady,
nerves, clear brain and general good
health by using Postum.
“While a school girl I drank coffee
and had fits of trembling and went
through a siege of nervous prostra
tion, which took me three years to
rally from.
“Mother coaxed me to use Postum,
but I thought coffee would give me
strength. So things went, and when .
I married I found my husband and I
were both coffee topers and 1 can
sympathize with a drunkard who
tries to leave off his cups.
“At last in sheer desperation, I
bought a package of Postum, fol
lowed directions about boiling it,
served it with good cream, and asked
my husband how he liked the coffee.
“We each drank three cups apiece,
and what a satisfied feeling it left.
Our conversion has lasted several
years and will continue as long as
we live, for it has made us new —
nerves are steady, appetites good,
sleep sound and refreshing.”
