For it is only in 1870 thai a similar

JVlidul llamid proclaimed , soon after
bis ascension to the tottering throne ,
that "the welfare of the Turkish empire
lies wholly in the full and sincere ap

tained the same high-sounding ring of
sincerity ns his recent utterance to the
effect that "all iu the nation are mem

"TyiJcn" of Fer.2iiiiiy.
Charles It. B.irrctt , an educator
known throughout Hi ? Middle West ,
classifies American women into "types , "
desirable and undesirable. He says :
"The type of American woman most
in the public eye is artificial , insincere ,
extravagant and selfish. She is an un-
soivable proposition. She will tyran-
ime-hor husband and love a dog.
"This type demands consideration on
the ground of sex only. She. has re
ceived stu-h attention by reason of sex
that she is spoiled , over-.ueenea . She
does not reeogr.ir.o merit or worth as
qualifications necessary to herself. She
is nervous and proud of it. She lacks
npose and poise , having mudi the dis
position of a spoiled child. Incapable
of gratifying her ainbitioiir alone , she
Is dependent on the irtellectual or
financial worth of fs'.liier or husband to
get a place in society. She likes a
palatial home , but lacks , appreciation
nf ho-.v she cretr it or who maintains it.
She seeks recognition and admiration
BolQly from the rntinir of worldly pos
sessions and the influence she com
mands through the position of father 01
husband.
"There is also the 'fine and dandy

skirt and short-waisted blouse. On the
latter there is a plastron effect of silk
beautifully embroidered in silver
thread. A bow of black satin caught
with a buckle of brilliants furnishes an
attractive j finish. Worn with this cos
tume is a striking hat of black satin
ind plumes.
Women's Delertoi'.iii : .
"Women should not copy men in
dress , manner or ideas , but should be
like the women of colonial days , who
could sew , cook and care 'or the
home , and who had an abiding faith
in their husbands. " declared Rev.
William Hayes Leavill , I ) . D. . president
af Westminster College. Fulton , Mo. ,
In his address at the recent banquet
of the Society of Colonial Wars , held
In St. Louis.
"Few women of to-day , " he said ,
"would leave their homes , their
friends and all the attractions of life
to follow their husbands into a for-
Bign land as did the women of colon
ial days. Modern influences have had
a deteriorating effect on women ; they
have destroyed much of the attractive
ness of women.
"The home Is the place for women
unless It is absolutely noeppsary for
them to leave it. I do not believe any
fvoman should enter the field of busi
ness and take a man's place unless
conditions require that she should do
jo. I am not a believer In woman's
right ? as woman's rights are known
to-day. "
Rnlei for Siolc lloom.
Every woman ought to acquaint her
self with the generalities to be ob
served in caring for the sick. Do not
sit on the edge of the bed , uway back
and forth in a rocking chair , or rattle
the leaves of a book or newspaper
These things are often annoying to a
well person.
Never speak to the patient of his
symptoms ; neither go to the opposite
extreme and appear disinterested. A
person ill appreciates and craves sym
pathy.
Cultivate a light touch , a low tone
of voice , and a light step , but do not
go about stealthily on tiptoe or whis
per. The patient's curiosity is sure to
be aroused and he becomes restless.
Pee that the hinges of Ihe doors are
well oiled. Open and shut them noise
lessly , but not slowly.
Do not attempt to do the patient a
good turn by reading aloud ( o him until
ho is well along on the road to re
covery. The exertion of listening is
wearing when one is weak.
Muffs are gigantic in size and in
cost.
Cloth top boots again are to be In
vogue.
Paris declares that all hats must be
dark.
Squirrel pelts are in great demand
for linings.
Startling effects in millinery are now
discouraged.
Many skin's are unlincd , and cling
as never before.
Directoire hat scarfs come in colors
to match any hat.
Now veils are so long as to be al
most cumbersome.
Touches of color smarten many cos
tumes of neutral tint.
Net and lace are the most used waist
materials of the season.
Two faced cloths are much In vogue
for long automobile coats.
Louis XVI. designs are most popular
among coiffure ornaments.
The Russian Cossack cap Is one of
the leading turban shapes.
New turbans are roomy , comln ,
down on the head to the ears.
Hoots with uppers in harmony with
the costume are much affected.
The directoire glove is laced up the
sides instead of being buttoned.
One of the newest fancies is for stiff
linen collars , trimmed with color.
Many new dancing frocks are made
of tulle , embroidered with beadwork.
The simulated button hole , elaborate
ly worked , is seen on ever } ' variety of
gown.
Net waists , lined with China silk ,
have tucked fronts and backs and long
sleeves.
The most fashionable coats are al
most perfectly straight from shoulder
to hem.
The extremes In hat , muff , and
coiffure sixes Avere never more pro
nounced.
For the first season in many years
all white is overshadowed by colors ,
even for dancing frocks.
A favorite hat will be the merry
widow , reduced in size , but with In
creased ornamentation.
Tnliln Appointments.
Fruit trays are made with very high
handles.
Some are Incased in fine wicker.
Bonbon dishes are made in novel
styles.
Shallow silver dishes are used to
hold olives , pickles , and cheese.
Miniature forks are used for numer
ous purposes.
They are graceful and dainty.
The straw for drinking soft drinks is
now made of silver and found on all
modern tables.
There are wine coolers of silver and
porcelain.
Fine platters hold egg cups.
Pierced silver trays are used for
various purposes.
Quaint milk jugs have a pitcher to
match.
1
A great many of the tailor-mades of
he day are being made with two skirts ,
no short and the other long. For the
venn who makes one or two suits do [
luty throughout the season , it is an
rconorny. Some of the couts that go
J.
with short cloth suits are so elaborate
with braid that they deserve more than
a showing at places where walking
skirts are permissible. Given a modish
long skirt and the coat may literally go
to mill and to meeting most acceptably.
Select geranium red cashmere and
make the skirt with inverted plaits , but
press the plaits from waist to hem to
give a straight effect. Have the plaits
broad , slightly broader at the hem.
Make the waist with a rounded yoke ,
small tucks on each shoulder , spllca
the material from the yoke ' o the bottom
tom of the dress waist and 'urn under
the edges to make elongated V-shnp-'d
openings. Run the allover net under
these openings there should be three ,
a. broad one in the center and one at
each side -then lace them across wi'h
narrow red silk soutache and tie at the
top with small bows , having tassel
ends. Lace the sleeves from the shoul
der to the wrist , and have narrow strips
cf lace beneath. Narrow ruflles of tulle
at the top of the collar and wrists will
be needed.
Carron 1531 for
Burns and scalds are more likely h
happen In the kitchen than In other
parts of the house , so it is well to pro
vide for the special use of the domes
tics a bottle of carron oil a mixture of
equal parts of linseed oil and lime wa
ter and also a supply of soft lineq
rag or lint for their special use in case
of emergencies. A clean , air-tight tin
should be used for storing the band
ages , so that they may not get soiled.
The carron oil relieves the pain of
burns and scalds at once. The lint
should be soaked In it and laid on thq
wound , to exclude the air , that healln/
may begin as soon as possible.
Ifoilinsr 2OO ERTK-S at Once.
If one would bo familiar with all tin
latest electrical novelties , he must
make a tour of the kitchen of a big
Atlantic liner. The automatic egg-
boiler ? , like those on the Lusltania and
Mauretania. are able to cook 200 eggg
at once , a clock arrangement causing
the basket containing the eggs to hop
out of the water at any half minute up
to six mimitcs. Another noveliy Is a
self-dumping oyster cooker for stews.
At the expiration of a given time the
cooker pours its contents Into a eoup
plate and automatically shuts off thf
electricity.
Fur 011 ZVeckvrenr.
It is quite the fashion ( o put fur on
some of the smart pieces of neckwear
that are worn with elaborate gowns.
The sketch shows one of the best
models. The collar band Is of Irish
lace , with frills of old pink chiffon at
top and bottom. The long , full jabot
Is of the pink , and is edged , like the
stock , with narrow black fur. There
are loops of pink satin ribbon down
the center , held In place with an ablong
gilt buckle.
RnA's for Short JVecks.
Surely ever- article in the realm ot
fashion may be so modified that it will
be becoming to almost every woman.
For instance , the- ' lovely neck ruffs ,
that were the despair of the short-
necked woman , are now fashioned in
a way that she may not only wear one ,
but find that it suits her. In the front
from ear to ear the ruff Is quite plain
and fiat , a fold of ribbon or a strip
of fur , perhaps , while the back portion
is augmented by the conventional ruf
fling or frilling , a bow in the back be
ing the finish.
Clmlr.
A woman who sews a great deal ol
the time has found that her back does
not become so tired If her chair is
low , or If she has a stool upon which
to rest her feet. . It is surprising what
\ difference the comfortable position
makes and how much more work she
can do.
Should the arms become weary , she
puts a cusnlon in her lap. On this
she rests her elbows , changing the posi
tion of her sewing , thus giving both
irins and eyes a chance to recover.
Lionts SevtMi Million Children.
The birth rate in the Tinted States
in the days of its Anglo-Saxon youth
was one of tin4 highest in the world-
In the course of a century the proportion -
portion of our entire population cou-i
sisting of children under the age of
10 has fallen from one-third to one-
inarter. This for the whole United
States Is equivalent to the loss of abouf
r.000,000 children.

I tion to the various enterprises in which
j he was interested , and it is not more
| than a month since he appeared heforo
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House in Washington as an authority
on the subject of sugar duties.
Apart from the importance which at
tached to Clatis Spreckels as the pioneer
neer sugar refiner of the Pacific coast
and , as an investor of millions in Cali
fornia and the Hawaiian Islands , the
Spreckels family has for many year ?
been one of the most prominent in the
. State.

stadt , Germany , in IS2S , and came to
the United States iu 1S4G. After being
emploj-ed for some time in Charleston
S. C. , and Nov.- York he came to San

INVITES TWO NATIONS.
President Roosevelt Asks Canada and
Mexico to Aid in Conservation.
Announcement has been made at thf
White House in Washington of a proposed -
'
posed plan for a conference looking
toward the conservation of the uatu
(
ral resources of North America , to b < -
held at the White House Feb. 18 next
Letters suggesting the plan have
been addressed by President Roosevelt
to the Governor General and to the
Premier of Canada and to President
Diaz of Mexico. They will be deliv
ered to the officials in person by Gifford -
ford Pinchot , chairman of the Nation
al Conservation Commission and chief
forester of the United States , whom

personal representative to convey the
invitations and to confer with the au
thorities of the two governments. Mr
Pinchot first will visit Canada. lie then
will carry the invitation to President

States and Territories were the prlnci
pal conferees. The representatives des
ignated by the Canadian and Mexican
governments will , under the proposed
plan , consult with representatives of

resources of each nation on the part of
the others , and to invite suggestions
for concurrent action for the protection
of mutual interests related to censer
vation.
BAD $5 BILL FOUND.
Counterfeiter * Make Silver CertiJl-
cute , Miit It IN Ea.slly Detected.
A counterfeit $5 silver certificate which
appeared in Philadelphia has been discov
ered by { he secret service. It is of the
series of 1SHD and bears the portrait of
an Indian chief. Possibly the easiest
way to identify the counterfeit is by the
fact that tlse shading under the words
"United States of America' ' looks like : i
picket fence in bad repair instead of be
ing regular in its formation. Part ol
Llie note is lighter in color than that ol
the genuine , while the color of the ba'-l ?
is a trifle darker green. Some of th <
words are imperfectly formed , the words
"this certificate is receivable , ' ' being bad
ly reproduced.
