It Is claimed thnt Kngllnh women have excellent complexions. While panning through Chicago during the theater season nil actress of nome re pute was questioned as to the preserva tion of her good complexion. She snld that she was, In the llret place, an "English woman," and that wnn in It self sufficient. But, on being asked how one could retain a good complexion, she offered the following shampoo: Ac cording to her statement, the face shampoo not only adds to the personal attractiveness of the shampooer, but creates a peaceful, cheerful spirit in her. It rests her nerves after a morn ing's shopping, It restores her temper. To take It, rub tine soap and a little glycerine on a siHinge, wet In water as hot as can be Imrno. Lather the face and neck thoroughly with this. Then rub with almond meal until the skin Is dry. Wash nil trace of meal and soap off with clean, hot water; spray with cold water until the flesh Is firm and cold. Dry gently with a soft towel, and tolled) the eyebrows and roots of the hair with a linen cloth dampened with cologne. An Klnbarate lllcycle Bolt. There was recently placed with a fashionable New York tailor an order for a bicycle suit which In the matter of expense Is likely to hold the record for some time. The girl who meets the bill Is worth a million In her own right, Is an athletic beauty and Is a reigning belle In the ultra smart set. The stilt which makes the bill Is the most elabo rate ever designed In this country. It Is lined with silk, finished with Jewels and will cost a lump sum of $71.r.r0. Two shawls at 75 apiece will be cm ployed In making the skirt and Jacket. Outdoor Wrapa. Capelike wrap for matrons show long sash ends and are often made up of silk of two different but harmoniz ing shades, like crushed strawberry and nlle green, the contrast being dam pened by a covering of black plaited moiiHsellnc de sole, gauze or black lace embroidered with steel or Jet bends. A sieaaide Coatnme. The smartest costumes for the river or seaside are of white pique, either as full bodice and skirt or coat and skirt with cambric shirt. At Newsrt re cently one of these costumes was worn over a w hite shirt with yellow necktie, combined with a white straw sailor hat with a yellow band of ribbon. Oettlna- DM o' the Hllea. Nowadays people In civilised regions endeavor to keep files out of their houses by having screens placed over their doors and windows. This keeps out the greater number of the little pests, but a few always manage to And an entrance through aome crevice or cranny. To dlapoae of theae an in genious mind augfents tha following: Nav tha topa of the acreen doom and Ptjjjtffll Ji nBllI 1M ;i tT JwSttffi I: ' ! window screens punch several holea from the Inside with some Instrument about the size of a lead pencil, tbua lea v lug slightly funnel-shaped aper tures, having a rough, jagged edge, on the outside. This renders It Impossible for the files to enter through these holes, while the files which hare strayed into the bouse the first time they light on one of the screens crawl to the upper part, and, seeing these holes. Imagine there la some place where they are not wanted on the other side, and out they go. "In this manner," said a flytrap dealer, "a house can be kept perfectly free from files." Newest Thine Ont. For business wear the proper shirt waist is of alpaca wash silk, or silk finished gingham. Linen collars and cuffs and a satin tie are the only accessories to traveling frocks of tussore silk. Ready made ruflllngs of mousselinei and Persian organdies for skirts are a feature of the lace counters. An odd wulst of turquolse-blue gloria silk has a yoke of white chiffon and a bolero of heavy white point lace. One of the grotesque fads of the mo ment Is the cravat of mammoth pro portions to be worn with silk or cotton shirt waists. Cross bars of ecru lace on a deep ma roon ground, giving the popular canva effect, constitute a new design in Scotch gingham.

In French gowns thf predominating effect Is that of bluck and white. With black lnwn gowns that arc trimmed in white stylish women wear broad-btimmed hats of tulle, chiffon or Batavla straw trimmed with masses ol white lace, mousseline, flowers or plumes. Extreme flutliness Is a prominent characteristic of the exquisite new shoulder capes of lulle, lace and silk now shown In bewildering variety.

In one of the many glass cases In the Sinltluioulan Institution at Washing ton Is a stuffed owl. Tula particular owl h the one, In the word of the late President Hayes, "that Jarred the Washington monument," and therein lies the story. During centennial year Congress re solved to provide the necessary funds for the completion of the mon anient, which up to that time had been work ed at only while the several smaller ap propriationu lasted. It was discover ed, however, that the original founda tion was likely to prove Incapable of sustaining the enormous weight of marble necessary for carrying the shaft 550 feet above terra flrma. A new foundation was therefore needed, and arclilteots thought a solid concrete bed 100 feet square and nearly fourteen feet In thickness would accomplish the strengthening desired. During the operation of replacing the oM foundation It was considered ex pedient to provide means for noting carefully the slightest vibration of the wails k-st the monument might be In danger of collapsing. Accordingly a heavy weight was suspended by a stout thread from the apex to a pan of thick sirup locaud in the iwse, so that no chance drafts of air would be likely to sway the weight. An Ingenious con trivance was so attached to the weight that the slightest vibration of the shaft would be faithfully record. d, and Its in security would at once he an establish ed fact. One morning a few mouths after these careful precautions hud been taken there was a great commotion among the workmen. A complete rec ord of numerous ierturltions aud tremblings had been written on the in dex, showing conclusively that the mammoth obelisk had Jarred, swayed and settled during the night. Scientific heads were duUoiusly shaken. After much iM'rsusisIon one of the men finally consented to go to the top and examine Into the cauwi. The astonishing reixirt came into the midst of the anxious throng lwlow that an owl In seeking shelter In the lofty tower hail somehow managed to catch Its wings in the thread and was still hanging there, suspended to the Interior of the monu ment, and the Innumerable flappings and struggles of his owlshtp had all been recorded by the 'index ns testi mony n gainst the stability of pliiml lald marble blocks and solid concrete.
