This Made a most dainty and attractive place in which. to keep not only pretty shirt waists, but Party gown as well,. At one end it was divided off into a space large enough to hold hats. On the under part of the lid were eight entail bags made of the rose cretonne, in which could be kept fans, evening slippers and fancy hosiery. Very near the outer edge of the under part of the lid was a .sachet bag, held in place by the little brass heads, This perfumed the clothes in a most delicate manner, giving to them the suggestion of a dainty odor rather than permeating the atmosphere with a strong scent, This "party box" serves for a closet, shoe bag and bat box. Out of the re- maining pieces of the rose cretonne were made three of pillows, and when the lid was closed the box was. utilized as a couch by resting against the foot of the bed, which made an ex- cellent back for its purpose,—Cbieago Record -Herald. , A MEDICINE CHEST, Directions For Making One at Home at Very Little Cost. A. medicine chest with shelves and drawers, in which everything can be kept orderly and in place, so it can be had at a moment's notice, is not a difficult thing to be made at home, and a simple one is shown in the illustra- tion. This is made from boards ob- tained from two shoe cases which were carefully broken apart so as not to split the wood. For the bathroom of moderate proportions it can be thirty inches high, twenty-four inches wide and from four to eight cliches. deep. It need not have a wood back, as the wall will take the place of one, thereby save HOMEMADE aremor a CHEST. ing space. The frame and shelves are attached securely to the wall with screws both at the top and bottom. A, batten two inches wide is nailed to the wall under the chest, on which it can rest. This makes a good anchorage and relieves the greater part of the weight. A. similar arrangement is made at the top. The top of the chest projects one and one-half inches beyond the sides and front, forming an overhang, and, at the lower part of the chest two or three small drawers are arranged for the accommodation of small boxes and packages. Enamel paint will give this chest a good finish,—Woman's Home' Companion. Marketing flints. It pays twice over to be systematic and watchful in supplying and in the use of provisions. It is sheer laziness to be caught on baking morning without every article needed, or to purchase larger quantities of perishable provisions than can be used while fresh. Ifa housekeeper goes out in the morning before planning the exact menu of the day, she wastes her serv- ant's time and discourages her by re- turning late to lunch—maybe bringing friends with her. Flow much better it would be to talk over each morning what to prepare Zro the day, subject to slight ehanges,, or even write out and pin up in the kitchen the exact order for the three meals, however simple. It is helpful to always be well stock ed with certain articles that will "keep," like the best brand of canned goods, including imported sausages; bacon, cheese, best prepared codfish. A secret to some is that codfish may be freshened and used for turbot or scalloped dishes in place of the fresh halt, with equally good results.—Table Talk: Tact In Dress. Tett in dress is neeessary to every Woman who hopes to become represent- ative of that refinement which is the chief 'ornament of womanhood or girl, hood, It 1s are that one sees french people dressed out of keeping with their surroundings or position. In the latter half of the nineteenth century a noted woman of Prance, Dime. de Gi- rardin, said; "Style ought inevitably to vary according to the position and age. It should fit itself to the fortune, to the habits, to the forks', to the eiret nt= atenees and indeed to every detail in the life of those *who 'wish to appear its leaders," This truism is as ;real today es at the time it was written, but un• fortunately outside of la belle rru'nee this fitting of self to one's sphere le hovered more ,in the breach than in the observant:e.

Pointed Paragraphs. (From the Ohioaa;o news.) A lucky man seldom believes in Iuek. A foolish man is one who tbiuks he anderstand9 women. Never argue with others if you would avoid that tired feellug. A sensible man is boo who bag the commonest kind of common sense. The man who whistles at his work usually whistles better than he works. Many a man who isn't quite sure of the Bible has unlimited faith in an almanac. Churohes should put in special entran- ces for nieu who have the side -door habit. Society women who appear in evening dress are candid—at least, they don't try to conceal much. If a young man would get up with the sun he shouldn't stay up later than 10 p.m. with the daughter.' Probably the humane landlord hers children from bis flat because they wouldn't have room in it to grow. It's a woman's imagination that keeps her young She imagines her friends can't see through a coat of paint. If girls were capable of distinguishing between a nibble and a bite there would' be fewer breach of promise suits. Most men would worry themselves to death if they kuew what their next-door neighbors really thought of then(, Courtship is a gas balloon that lifts a man heavenward and marriage is a para- chute that enables him to visit the earth again. Fortunate is the young man who gets badly defeated in a political contest. He gets discouraged, and settles down: to business. The woman who marries for money doesn't worry when her husband's love grows cold, so long as he continue to hand out the cold cash. WOMAN'S GREATEST ENEMY Constipation the Cause of most Women's Troubles—Au Easy Way to Pernnunently Cure this Painful Condition, There are few women indeed who do not suffer with chronic constipation. Nearly all are slaves to some kind of medicine to correct this trouble, and yet they get nothing but temporary relief. One period of constipation is followed by another, and its physic, physic, physic, year in and year out, till life becomes a burden. There is now a sure cure for this con- dition and a cure that does not have to be repeated. It is ]Jr. Leonhardt's Anti -Pill, Dr. Leonhardt, of Lincoln, Neb., is the author of this prescription. He ushd it for years with wonderful success in his own large practice as a remedy for dyspepsia, biliousness and constipation.

There is an antelope in the Congo region, however, which rarely ventures to the upland, but actually lives in water, spending pr'aet.tcally all of its time wadh)g around in the swamps and feeding on swamp growth, such as papyrus and other water plants. This swamp antelope represents among animals what the heron and other wading birds do among birds, and like these wading birds the swamp antelope has extraordinarily long and thin legs, while its hoofs are wonder- fully long and spread out almost as wide as bird's claws when the animals wade in the mud, thus supporting them on the soft bottom. These swamp antelopes are by no means small animals, but belong to the larger forms of their species. A full grown male is as big as the buck of the fallow deer in Virginia, Gondolas of Venice. A tourist writes: "Like most char- acteristic objects appertaining to Ven- ice, the gondola is suitable to the place. Even as the hansom cab suits London or the rickshaw suits Japan or the jaunting car suits Ireland, so the goo , dole is the vessel for Venice. You eaue not separate the lagoon from tI1e gon- dola. One completes the other." The gondolier le a plan Owe to many oaths and imprecations, of which the most terrible is, "Thy saint is a rascal who does not know how to make a decent miracle." The gondoliers are not as much given as they used to be to the singing of the sonorous verses of Tasso by moonlight in their musical patois. Occasionally an outburst of melody is secured by a traveler's colts; and there are. always singing, playing and dancing at the inevitable festa. Ringing Bells to Swarms Bees. It is a foolish notion to suppose that the ringing of bells or "tanging" of tin pans will cause a swarm of bees to settle, says Country Life In America. The real origin of this custom dates back to the reign of Alfred the Great, who, in order to prevent disputes re- garding the ownership of a swarm, or- dered that the owner should always ring a bell when his bees swarmed, and ever since then the good farmer's wife has been rushing out with ringing bells whenever the bees swarmed, and the fact that they settled verified, in her own mind, the belief that the bell did it, Force of Habit. Speaking of force of habit, some years ago there was an iron railing around the capitol grounds at Wash- ington. The appropriation bill provided for a watchman to close and lock the gates every night at a certain hour and open them at a certain hour every morning. In the course of time the railing or fence was removed, but the gates swung between their Egyptian pillars for a long time, and . all that time the watchman, came and went regularly, closing and opening the gates according. to law and drawing his salary. Monkey Puzzie 'free. One of the most remarkable trees in the world grows in California and in place of leaves has spiky scales. The trunk and all of the branches are en- tirely covered with these scales, which are so sharp that even a monkey would find it out of the question to climb such a tree. Bence its name, "monkey puz- zle tree," which is admirably deserip- tive, What She Played, Merely, Bacon --What I did say was that my daughter played the grand piano. Eg- bert—Yes.

The Way Two Englishmen Captured Four Hundred Prisoners, Toward the close of the peninsular war 400 prisoners were captured by John Colborne, afterward Field Mar- shal Lord Seaton. Colborne, who was wdunded at Talavera, had been dis- abled for some time, but in 1813 he was in active service again, and when ;Wellington's .army crossed the frontier into France he performed what was in- deed the most amazing feat of bis ca- reer. When riding, with no comrade but the famous Sir Henry Smith, separated from his column, he saw 400 `Freneb soldiers passing along a ravine below him, "The only way was to put a good face on the matter," he wrote. "$o I went up to them, desiring thorn to surrender. The officer, thinking, of course, the column was behind roe, sur- rendered his sword, saying theatrically, 'Je vous rends eette epee, qui a Bien fait son devoir.' (I surrender this sword, which has done its duty well.) The 400 followed lits example." Sir Henry Smith used to declare that he had never seen such cool presence of mind as Colborne displayed on this oc- casion. ANCIENT MIRRORS, Th* Old ESy-pilaus Made Theirs of Highly Polished Metal. Wilkinson shows that we are in- debted for our mirrors to the ancient Egyptians. At first they were made of metal, so well compounded and pol- ished that some recently dug up from Thebes have regained a wonderful lus- ter after burial for thousands of years. Oval in shape, they were fastened to Carved wooden handles. References are made to such looking glasses in Exodus and Job. The Greeks and Ro- mans made similar mirrors of silver. Pliny says that the earliest glass mirrors were made of black volcanic glass. Through the middle ages glass baclted with thin metallic sheets came into use, and "bullseyes," or glass globes into which while hot a metallic mixture was blown for backing. At Murano, near Venice, in the thir- teenth century, the republic protected the trade and jealously guarded its se- crets, securing a lucrative business for a century and a half. Mirrors were then made from cylinders of glass flat- tened on stone, carefully polished, bev- eled at the edges and silvered by an amalgam. Ruined iris Stomach For Science. One of the most singular things about the great nervous specialist, Dr. Brown-Sequard, was the way in which he saved his nerves for science, but in- jured his stomach for the same cause. Throughout his life he was opposed to the use of tobacco. "I never smoke," he once said, "because I have seen the most evident proofs of the injurious effects of tobacco on the nervous sys- tem." Ent his desire to investigate the contents of his own stomach by swal- lowing sponges to which a thread was tied and pulling them up to examine the gastric juice which they had ab- sorbed brought on a rare affection, known as merycisnl, or rumination, which compelled him to masticate bis food a second time. Colored Clothes and health. The health value of colored clothes ie infinitely superior to that of sable fabrics. You will find more microbes to the square inch on dark than on light garments. Black arrests the health giving rays of the sun. It Is strange that Mme, la Mode should turn out to be only the high priestess of health in disguise and that the mi- crobes of Mayfair and the bacilli of Bel- gravia should be more afraid of a but- terfly of fashion than of a table coated doctor of medicine. -Chi*.

A great source of cruelty is temper. When it is considered what a vast sum of misery temper causes in the world, how many homes are darkened and how many hearts are saddened by it; when we remember that its perseeu- tions have not even the purifying con- sequences of most other calamities, in- asmuch as its effects upon its innocent victims are rather cankerous than me- dicinal; when we call to mind that a bright face and a bright dispositions are like sunshine in a house, and a gloomy, lowering countenance as de- pressing as an Arctic night, we must acknowledge that temper itself la only another form of cruelty, and a very bad form too, Sisk Headache, Biliousness, Dys- j pepsic, Coated Tongue, Foul Breath, Heart Burn, Water Brash, or any Disease of the Stomach, Liver or Bowels.
