"Cuban men In arms frequently present
"themselves " for pardon. No Cuban woman
bos ever been known to barter fealty for
mercy. There arc traitors In Cuba , but they
are never women , " declares Thomas Gold
Alvord In an article In the VToman's Home
Cotupinhn.
"Il-'vana Is full of devoted women reared
In Indolence and luxury who are tireless In
their successful rffortw to get word from
ono scattered rebel band to another , and to
send them food , medicines and clothing.
These women are far better conspirators than
their fathers and brothers , for Cuban men
must talki and therefore rarely hatch a plot
before It In revealed. The women In that
country , at least , eeem to know the value of
fcllencp. They say little of war , even among
themselves , but to Americans they are sin-
KUlarljconfiding. . This Instantaneous and
perfect trust Is at times startling , and makes
ono brcatho a fervent prajcr th-at It will
never bo betrayed. It leads to many strange

A novel treatment of a brocaded ollk
evening bodice stows the pattern In trie silk
cut out around the neck arid embroidered
In buttonhole stitch for a finish. Above
this , coming from underneath , Is a frill ot
chiffon.
All shades of blue arc fashionable , from
tfio deepest fleur-de-lis dyes to the faintest
forget-me-not tints. The Iris and lavender
blues appear In cloth costumei relieved with
white gulmpc < ' , blouss vcats , etc. , and white
ellk galleon trimmings.
Liberty satin Is a favorite material for ten

applique down the front breadth , a frill of
lace around the skirt , end a flchu ot chiffon
tied with long ends at the side , striped with

these which turn back directly In front

Open-mesh or semi-transparent fabrics are
the materials used In making some of the
handsomest and most fashionable gowns for
the coming season. Frequently these dresses
are mounted over foundations of figured In
stead of patterned silk or satin , and some
very novel and pretty effects are thus pro
duced under the semi-diaphanous textiles.
The fronts of many of the fashionable
waists arc again arranged In contrasting of
fects. One side may bo tucked from shoul
der to belt , the opposite side draped in sur
pllce form , or on the right may be a closely
fitted side covered with a misty veiling of
point applique lace , and on the left side
shirred , with a single rcver turning back
upon the shirred side , this made of plain
Ilk or satin and covered with the lace.
Old-fashioned lavender perfume has come
back to favor among the many other revivals
ot nearly a century ago. It appears In the
list of French extracts and sachets , and Its
delicate fragrance exhales from the petals of
choice Parisian-made artificial flowers. The
odor of lavender Is agreeable to many people

It Is true that the Greek soldier who ran
all the way from Marathon to Athens to

when he had delivered the message had
covered only twenty-six miles , yet he may
have been worn with ilR'ntlnc when ho

On the other Viand , Deerfoot , the Indian
runner of iflo Cattarausus reservation , who
once held the record In England and Amer
ica , ran twelve miles In tlfty-slx minutes In
London In 1SC1 , and extraordinary stories of
hU long-distance running are told. Captain
Uarclay of England walked 1,000 miles In
1,100 hours , and W. S. George , the world's
greatest amateur distance runner , followed
the hounds cr. foot. Henry Su'nmcl , fn June ,

la never to cease from firing your "stuff"
Into the declining editor uatll you have
brought him to terms. That. Is like many
another war policy excellent only so- far ca
It succeeds and there are etlll some facts
to add In regard to Mr. Robertson that will .
provoke , or , at leaot , should provlke , quite '
other Inferences. Robertson , whca he *
turned to writing , was. In truth. In Just es i
hard luck as he looked to be. He had bad
an experience ID llfo the full bitterness
of which cannot bo signified In written
words. Born with half a dozen distinct

tried first being a eallor , the"n an engineer ,
then a well , I don't know what he did rwt
try. Often he was at tfie point of starving ;
always he was finding life a very tough and
curloua business , and bo was getting an I
acquaintance with It 'bcdde ' which that of j
the ordinary etory teller Is the merest

to the fact that they embody this extraor-1

with no less enthusiasm , to the same pur
pose. The company they addressed was com
posed largely of authors and publishers. No
one dissented. Whatever some may have
secretly thought of the American literary ap.
petite In some of Its qualities , all present , I
am sure , agreed that It was beautiful in its
capaciousness , and that 'to have a settled
share In the fecdlng'-of ' 'It ' would be "Just

A PROFITABLE'MARKET. | 1 i
A further proof of 5thc' clearing sense of
our excellence as a literary market Is Amer
ica's copyright of Dj-- ' Alfred Wallace's
forthcoming book , "THe ? Wonderful Cen .
tury , " was disposed of'a1 * few days ago. Dr. '
Wallace , wtlh all Ills contributions to
science and scientific Jlleraturc , Is not , I
should say , a great nirae'commerclally , nor
a book by him , or any' one , treating of the
scientific , social and AdcJal achievements of
the century anything like a "sure winner. " )
Nevertheless there has''been ' great rhalry
to secure the American rights of Dr. Wal
lace's book ; and thfe Engllih publishers ,
se clng their opportunity , hit upon the de
vice a device never employe J before In ( im
posing o ! wares of hlV'klnd ' of an auc
tion , with an upset prl 'of $500. That Is
'to say , those who wanted the American )
rights of the book were compelled Into
public bidding against each other , and the !
Starting bid had to be above $309.
If the Ameriaa writers could do what
some other 'American producers have done !
get the American market exclusively Into
their own bands they would have what , In' '
the rude speech ot trade. Is known as a I
"cinch. " |

department , has discovered and opened the
tomb of Amenophla II , a king of tbo eight
eenth dynasty , who reigned some 1,500 years
B. C. The find Is among the most interest
ing ever made In Egypt , ao , although the
Jewelry , etc. , were rlflsd from the tomb
probably during the twentieth dynasty , the
mummies of AmenopbU and of seven other
kfrigs are Intact.
The tomb Is entered by a steep Inclined
gallery , which terminates In a well o ! some
twenty-six feet In deptU , and , this obstacle
t'urmounted , the entrance to the king's
sepulcher Is reached.
In the first chamber the body of a man la
found bound on a richly painted boat , hia
arms and feet tied with cords , a piece of
cloth stuffed as a gag Into his mouth , and
marks of wounds on the breast and bead.
In the D3xt chamber are laid out the bodies
of a man , a women and a boy.
None of the tour bodies bas been em
balmed , but , owing to the dryness of tbe
atmcsphere. are all In the most complete
state of preservation , with the features per
fect ; although they evidently met with vie
lent deaths , they have the appearance of
bslng asleep. The hair upon each Is luxuri
ant and the features resemble to a marked
degree those of the fellaheen of the present
day.

The klns's tomb Is a chamber of magnifi
cent proportions , In perfect preservation. Thereof
roof , which Is supported by masilve square
cclumne. Is painted a deep blue , studded
with ; odcn ! stars , and the walls are. en
tirely .covered with paintings , the colors
of which are as vivid as If laid on only yes-
< crdar. At one end of this chamber , In an
excavation sunken several feet below the
level of the rest of the flaor. Is the sarco-
phs us of the king , placed upon a massive
blocl : of alabaster. The sarcophagus Is of
sandstone , artificially colored a bright rose
hue. and contains the mummy Intact , with
cbaplcts of flowers around the feet and neck.
In a small chamber to the right are nine
mummies , two of them bearing no name and
the others those of the Kings Thothmes IV.
Amencchls III , Set Nakht. Sell II ( supposed
to have been the Pharoah of the Exodus ) ,
Ramcses IV , Ramerts VI and Ramesea VIII.
wln > all reigned between about 1,500 and
1,160 B. C.
The tcmb Is that of Amenophls II , for
whom It was built and Is supposed to have
been orened later to receive the mummies
of the other kings , probably to save them
from violation.
The floors of all the chambers are cov
ered with a mass of objects statues , vases ,
wcoden modela of animals , boats , etc. , ro.
quiring Immense care In sorting for removal.
Tbe whole constitutes one of .tho most
Impressive eights tbat can be Imagined. For
the first time on record the body of an
Egyptian king has been found In the tomb
prepared for him , as previously discovered
royal mummies had been removed from their
tom-g and secreted for safety at Delr el
iBaharl.
Possibly this discovery of the bodies of
murdered victims In a king's tomb may
throw some light upon the vexed question

A soap that won't shrink wool is best for faces ,
too. It's a pure soap.
Wool Soap is the one soap that is absolutely
pure. That's ' why it is the only soap that won't '
shrink wool.
Most soaps eat the skin redden it roughen
it harm the complexion. All soaps save Wool Soap
have enough impurity to shrink a woolen garment.
is simply pure soap. Use it on
woolens , because you must use it.
Use it for toilet and bath because
of its luxury.
There are plenty of other soaps
that are half pure. Wool Soap is
all pure.
