It Wa Up io Him. One day as a minister was passing own the street In Scranton , where he -resided , he was seen by some hangers- on at a public house which he was approaching preaching , and one of the number called to him and said : "We have a dispute here of some Im portance , and would like you to decide , tt Is In relation to the age of the devil. Can you tell us how old he Is ? " "Gentlemen , " said the minister , with dignity , "you must keep your own family records. " K k KIDNEY kP P ,1 I For Illfirh-Heeled Slices. High heels on shoes and slippers lost their favor with the women simply be cause they found they could.not xvear them without spraining or injur ing the ankle. Shoe makers know that the high-heeled shoe is much preferred to the low heel In fact , the higher the heel the more It is HEEL ATTACHMENT ] jcei. A Virginia woman claims that any high-heeled shoe or slipper , especially , can be made perfectly safe for the wearer by the Introduction of a small supporting plate placed inside the shoe , close to the heel. This plate is of metal and curved to conform to the heel of the foot of the wearer. It is pfaced in the shoe In combination with the sole , the plate lying under the heel and ex tending upward at each side , ending in a T , which engages the side of the foot Immediately below the ankle. "Women True to Themselves. Mr. John M. Coulter , head of the department of botany of the Chicago University , who with his wife and chil dren was on the ill-fated Republic , says that the heroic conduct of the women was something that can never be forgotten. When the order came to put on life preservers the women put them on as coolly as If they were shirt waists. There was no fainting , no panic and they even joked among themselves to conceal any fear they might have as they adjusted the un usual preservers. They conducted themselves , he says , in a manner to make one forever proud of American womanhood. It gave one an under standing of the nobility of woman's nature , he declared , that docs not pre sent itself often in an ordinary life time. Handsome Afternoon Costume. Ohiffon broadcloth , in a delightful rfhade of brown , was used for a cos tume suitable for informal luncheons , mutlnee. etc. , and from which our Sketch was made. It employs the pop ular tunic effect In front with long trained skirt. The short-walsted bodice Is elaborately trimmed with navy Russian lace , and the entire tight long sleeves are made from allover - over lace , matching In design that used on the hodice. The finish at hand is a band of sable. A white-faced brown satin hat and sable muff complete the Costume. A Candy Pull. A nice party to haJFe Is a candy pull. When inviting the guests ask each to bring an apron. Boil the candy for an hour. It had better he put on before the guests come. While waiting for the candy to cook a lively game of cards may be played , such as 4pit" or "old maid. " When the candy is all pulled put It on a marble slab to harden. Refreshments may now he served. After this a game or two of charades nay be played. Purpose of Exereiwe. Exercise should be taken to increase flie circulation and tissue change ; to Stimulate the elimination of waste prod ucts ; to develop the muscles ; to pro mote healthy action of the digestive organs , and to clear the brain and head , thus fitting us to do more work and better work than we would other wise be Able to perform. Put Thought Into Menln. One mother of growing sons learned almost too late the folly of so catering to an Individual peculiarity. The hus band and father liked neither soups , flessert , fish nor srvlad , and the family meals consisted of a dreary round of meat , coffee and a vegeuuble. Then the mother found that her WJ's , dissatis fied with such plain fare , were seeking a more varied menu in restaurants and gay hotels , with none too desirable com panions. It pays every housekeeper , if only to spare herself family grumbling , to put more thought than she does into order ing the meals. If systematized it takes little time , even in a busy life , to pro vide more varied cooking , and the trou ble pays from an ethical as well as health standpoint. Shot velvets In wonderful two-toned effects are high in favor. Wide tulle strings finish the hat de signed for the picturesque girl. Corded silks are making up waists for street coat and skirt suits. Jet butterfly buckles are the latest and daintiest things for slippers. With the black tailored costumes gold embroidery Is In great favor. The popularity of suede Is waning and richer colors are In evidence. Embroidery in heavy worsted or silk Is employed on manjT new cloth gowns. The butter howl shape hat is still shown and threatens to stay another year. Women , young and old , are wearing jet Jewelry with gowns black and white. Nowadays nearly all women wear jabots bets and among the prettiest is the grandfather frill. Open-meshed stockings are now lit tle favored , filet net in lisle and silk being the rage. Royal blue , golden brown , mulberry and maize are fashionable colors in high-class costumes. Embroidery dots of various sizes are used In dainty ties. . The dots may be white or a color. Nearly all of the hats are rnaue without bandeau , and must be worn with the flat hair dressing. Thin wools , which make up into charming bouse gowns , are found in all the fashionable shades and tones. Bracelets are being worn again in quantities and this year they need not match in design , size or material. There Is nothing newer in veils than the dlrectoire veil and ruff combined. The veil Is drawn Into a band of rib bon around the throat or ends in a thick ruff made of the veiling. The breakfast cap is a dainty fad of fashionable women. It Is of lace of the finest quality , hand embroider ed , and Is ornamented with a nosegay of old-fashioned flowers made of rib bons. Costs Less to Feed Women. In a small Philadelphia restaurant that caters to persons on economy bent the bill of fare Is headed by this no tice : "Regular dinner Men , 25 cents ; women , 15 cents. " "How Is this ? " asked a chance customer belonging to the sex most heavily taxed. "You charge us fellows 10 cents more than you do the women. What have we done that we should be so discriminat ed against ? " "You eat more , " was the plain rejoinder. "It doesn't cost near ly so much to feed women as men , but we are the first concern in this part of town that has been brave enough to say so in plain print. Many foreign restaurants have recognized that fact , and have regulated their charges accordingly. " Sardon'a Opinion of Women. "I have the highest opinion of the fair sex. I consider women superior to men In almost everything ; they pos sess the intuitive faculty to an extra ordinary degree , and may almost al ways be trusted to do the right thing in the right place. They are full of noble instincts , and. though heavily handicapped by fate , come well out of every ordeal. You have but to turn to history to realize the truth of what I say. " The Strand Magazine. Keeping the feet warm and dry will aid In making the cheeks red. Cold feet will bleach out the skin and bring color to the wrong place , namely the nose. nose.A A glass of hot water before break fast is a cleanser and tonic for the en tire system. For an oil } * , greasy skin , squeeze half a lemon Into the water , drink without adding sugar. Spirits of camphor dries up fever blisters when they are just commenc ing. Jt is well , however , to cover the lips lightly with grease , to keep the camphor from Irritating the surround ing flesh. Warts and weJis are sometimes cured by rubbing them two or three times dally with an Irish potato. Cut off one end of the potato and rub the tumor with the pared surface. After each operation remove a slice of the potato. If the cuticle about your nails seems tough and there is a tendency to "hang nails , " rub in a little vaseline or cold cream every night before retiring. Soon you will see a marked Improvement In the condition of the nails. The worried housekeeper should go out on the veranda for a few moments , take several full breaths of fresh air , shake the stiffness from fingers , wrists , elbows and all other joints of the body , stretch , yawn , smile and laugh if pos sible a good , deep , muscular laugh. Takes Pessimistic "Vlvr. Prof. Hagerty , of the University of Ohio , said at the meeting of the So ciological Society in Washington re cently that educated women did not marry as early in life as women used to , that they had fewer children and the offspring are not as strong. The State has taken care of the education of the child , the kitchen is practically the only survival of the old Industrial aspect of the home , children being thus relieved of household duties. The re sult , along with the tendency to live In boarding houses and flats , tends to destroy the solidarity of the home with out any apparent advantage. Charming1 Combing : Jacket. Rather longer In the body than the usual run of such garments is this fas cinating combing jacket , , made from embroidered crepe de chine. There is no .trimming save two silk frogs for closing purposes. China silk , challls or silk muslin with lining , would also serve for this piece of daintiness. Protect tlie Finder. - , Everj- woman who sews or embroid ers objects to the roughened first finger of the left hand , which seems impos sible not to prick. Not only is the \ ' roughened edge unsightly , but it catches on the work , especially when doing j silk embroidery , and is almost impos sible to keep clean. There is a new protector for this finger that seems to protect without getting In the way of the sewer. It Is made in a specially prepared glass that does not blunt the needle , conies in several sizes and , best of all , Is cheap enough for every sewer to own. Reducing : Flesli. Whatever else fashion hints there la not the slightest rumor that flesh Is to be stylish in the near future. There fore women who are not thin are keep ing up all kinds of methods to make them so. Live on noodles , is the cry. Consequently this diet Is strictly kept by women who are willing to sacrifice anything to be thin. The latest remedy , however , Is to drink camomile tea with out sugar , an hour after eating. Thla is said to cure the most rebellious case and turn one of barrel shaped proportions tions into sylphlike lines. To Clean Shield * . Many think It is impossible to wash dress shields In other than cold water. They should first be dampened with cold water and covered with white soap rubbed Into the covering. Put them into a basin and pour very warm water over them and let them stand until the water begins to cool , then scrub with a stiff brush. Rinse In cold water and let them gradually dry away from artificial heat. Do not attempt to press them. Dry Scalp Causes Gray Hair. Nothing will so quickly cause the hair to turn gray"as an absence of nourishing oils , and it is for this rea son that tonics containing such Ingred ients are invaluable. When there is a decided tendency to whiteness a formu la that has.been found useful , If mas saged nightly Into the head , is one dram each of terebone , borax and sul phur and six ounces of lavender water. Homemade Clothes Hanger. Excellent shirt waist and coat hang ers can be made by cutting small barrel beeps in two. Half-barrel hoops are the best. Wrap the hoop with cambric and fasten In the center of same a loop or wire to hang It up wltii. The ad vantage of these over the wire ones IP that they do not crease the garments. Brinkley , Ark. , Is Wrecked by Wind and Flames and Other Towns Are Damaged. ETTEAL HOMES AHE DESTROYED Qov. Donag-hey , Appealed to by Vic tims , Will Go to Scene of Suf fering Snow in "West. Reports received in Memphis , Tenn. , show that fourteen persons were killed and fifteen or twenty injured in the tornado and fire which swept Brinkley , Ark. , Mondaj * . Ten of the dead were white persons and four negroes. The business section of the town was de molished and probably SO per cent or the dwellings were raxed. Other towns in the eastern part of the State suffered from the wind and the southern and western sections of Arkansas also were swept by tornadoes. A mass meeting of citizens was held at Brinkley Tuesday and a telegram was sent to Governor Donaghey at Lit tle Rock , urging him to go to Brinkley and take charge of the situation. Tlie Governor replied that he would depart for the scene at once. Because of wide demoralization a Cotton Belt passenger train could not be found and a report was sent out that it had been blown from the tracks near Baucum. The officials of the rail road in Memphis said that the train was safe from mishap. Wires are down throughout the State. Several physicians of Forest City as well as many nurses were sent to Briukley at midnight and other towns rushed aid to the storm-swept town. Brinkley is in Monroe County in the eastern part of the State. 11 > has a population of 3,000 and is at the junc tion of several important railroads. A tornado hit Fourche dam , five miles from Little Rock , at 5 o'clock in the afternoon , killing a negro boy and injuring other negroes. Two houses were demolished and one was consumed by fire after it had been blown to bits. The tornado crossed the Arkansas River at Fourche dam and raised a spout of water about 200 feet high. It traveled toward the northeast and swept a path about sixty yards wide. The wind was followed by a violent hail and rain storm. The same tornado passed into Bau cum and from there to Kerr , .Lonoke County , where several homes were de molished and E. B. Adams , a farmer , was seriously injured. He , with his wife , son and three others , was in the house at the time. They were buriefl In the debris. The home of , Dan Wag ner , a sawmill operator , also was de stroyed , but he and his wife escaped with a few bruises. A gin and several negro cabins were demolished. All the windows in a train running between Gurdon and Roster were blown out. At Malvern the Methodist Church was destroyed at a loss of $0,000. The Baptist Church was damaged and a portion of the Court House was un roofed. LITTLE ICE IN GREAT LAKES. Better Condition than This Time IJast Year JH Reportert.

The Fcullnv of grille That Is of Payinar Taxes. "Many a time , " said a policeman lit the southern part of the city , "whec > arresting men , especially intoxicated : men , I have been told by my prisoner that he was a taxpayer and that h& helped pny ray wages. "I always regarded this sort of back talk as merely druuken insolence and never paid much attention to It until abqut a year ago , when I bought a- house and lot and became myself a tax payer. I had always rented before- and ncrer gave a thought to taxes , but as SO H as I moved Into my own house I begas to appreciate the feelings of men who resented arrest because they paid taxes. "There is certainly a considerable ad- dltian t the dignity of the man who- helps support the government. H0 feels a degree of responsibility that a renter or reoxicr never understands , and my idea la that every man in the- country ought to become a taxpayer as sows as he can. And the mere fact that he floes help support the govern ment and bears his share of the ex pense makes him a better citizen. . ' Habitual criminals are rarely taxpay ers. They knovr they may have to run any day and perhaps never coma back , . BO they do not buy real estate , but are- roomers and lodgers all their lives. " - t. Louis Globe-Democrat. Norway , Sweden , Denmark and Iceland hare given the municipal franchise to. women. DIDN'T SEALIZE How Injurious Coffee Really TVa * . Many persons go on drinking coffee- year after year without realizing that it is the cause of many obscure but persistent ailments. The drug caffeine in coffee and tea. is very like uric acid and is often the- cause of rheumatic attacks which , when coffee is used habitually , become- ? hronic. A Washington lady said recently : "I am sixty-five and have had a good- deal of experience with coffee. I con sider It very injurious and the cause- of many diseases. I am sure It causes- decay of teeth in children. "When I drank coffee I . had sick : spells and still did not realize that coffee could be so harmful , till about a year ago I had rheumatism in iny- arms and fingers , got so nervous I could not sleep and was all run down. "At last , after finding that medicines * did me no good , I decided to quit cof fee entirely and try Postum. After using it six mouths I fully recoveredL my health beyond all expectations , can. sleep sound and my rheumatism Is alL gone. " "There's a Reason. " Name given by Postum Co. , Battle Creek , Mich.
