Do v.ot think vour coffin will be orleredif you mi j m a1. It is not needful to become a fasting f-uMist net to overeat If vi u would bi beaut.ful, restrain y.r.r appetite. Have you uvor noticed the a, most animal look to tho mouth ot the greedy one? (Irc((Jiness means an overworked liver, with a consequent yellowing complexion and leathery skin. The surest road to heaviness and lost suppleness of youth is to habitually overeat. No woman can hope to keep her good figure who loves her food overmuch. If she does not get fat, she will probably ruin her digestion-and with it goes health and freshness. Overeating brings stomach trouble, which is the worst foe to beauty. Many a red nose and watery eye can be laid to too much food. Flabbv- muscles and sagging flesh are the swiftest follow rs in the train of three heavy meals a day. Did you ever see a keen, alrt eye in the heavy eater? Besides the dull look, there may be yellow eyeballs. Too much eating, makes the mind "loggy." It may be comfortable to crawl into a corner like a well fed cat after a heavy meal, but it does not make a scintillating dinner guest. Asjbeauty is not alone coloring and form, but expression, remember that greediness soon gives a 1 earthly look to the face that is a horri J telltale One need not go to the lengths of the Brook Farm cult in the interest of plain living and high thinking, but, at least, curtail your ardor for food for the sake of your wits and your looks. Don't be an unbalanced faddist who thinks overeating the source of every known ill. Ordinary moderation at each meal fills the bill quite as well and does not make you a nuisance to your friends. Who does not know the woman you couldn't drive into eating a bit of breakfast? You could stand it Jtishe starved alone without forcing her theories on every one she can corral. Others expect to live to a prime old age by foreswearing lunch. That's all right, but don't look reproachful when the appetite of your friend is heartiest in the middle of the day. , The latest fad is to go dinnerless. "Eat your breakfast and lunch, if you will, but if you would be a sylph, a wit and stranger to the doctor, do not dally at the dinner table," is the slogan of these enthusiasts. Yet worse are the benighted ones who have eschewed the family board entirely and are trying to convert the world to tabloids and predigested foods. Almost better for others, the greedy who frankly enjoy their food. They may be rather bestial and they certainly take big chances on beauty, but they are not deadly bores.

Mighty Factor In Business. Advertising a Strong Creative Force-Multiplies Human Wants and Intensifies Desires. Advertising is today the mightiest factor in the business world. It is a business builder. It is something more than a drummer knocking at the door of the consumer, something more than mere salesmanship on paper. It is a positive creative force in business, it multiplies human wants and intensifies human desires. It furnishes excuse tor timorous ones to possess the things which under former conditions they could get along without. Such service as is required of advertising men today demands broad preparation and equipment. There is a call for men who can exploit a city or a state, men who can market the output of manufacturers, men who can plan and conduct a world-wide selling campaign. The man who succeeds uses every help that comes his way. He seeks the advice of experienced men. The club is to him a source of instruction and inspiration, inat is what we are trying to make it. Co operation is the keynote of club success. We have Ped our ideals high, now let us work toward Advertising, as a branch of our commercial life, is new. No other group, of men, except advertising men, has ever developed a business of such magnitude m s short a time. Mistakes were inevitable. Reasonable and clear-headed men hastened to correct mistakes as' soon as they were discovered. We built, and altered to meet conditions as wo built, so that the 'structure we present today meets the demands of today.

Parch ment was then made of vegetable pulp, which was poured in a liquid 6tate into a sieve. The water dripped out from below, and the thin layer of p.:!p that remained was pressed and dried. When dry it was found to hoar upon lttha marks of the fiber that composed the bottom of the sieve. These fibers seem to have been twisted reeds, and the mark they left on the parchment took the form of wide lines running across and across diagonally. In those days the watermark was regarded as a blemish since the fiber was thick and coarse and the deep impression made on the paper proved a drawback in writing.

Today's Best Story. Mrs. Allcash, who has not as yet got over the novelty of riches, is not inclined to admit the fact. On the contrary, it is her great desire that the society with which she is now entitled to mix, by virt ue of her husband's wealth, shall think she was born in the purple. Recently she was at a big dinner party, and as she was being piloted from drawing room to dining room she noticed a marble bust on one of the pillars in the "Do you know who that is?" she inquired of her cavalier. "That is Marcus Aurelius," was the answer. "Oh! is it now?" ejaculated the lady. "But can you tell me," she added, "whether it is the present marquis or the late marquis? I get so mixed up with dukes and things." The Man Nert Door Don't you think I ought to send my daughter to Europe to finish her vocal studies? The Other Fellow By all means.

j The Welsh Note. Here is what the Kev. John Evans tells ua in reference to the way in which English was taught in Wales in the eighteenth century: "This school had several features unknown in the Welsh school of today. The Welsh note was one indispensable feature. This secured English conversation. It was a

Bmooth piece of wood, like a flat inch rule, with the letters 'W. X.' carved on it. When any ono was caught speaking Welsh the Welsh note was immediately handed to him, but the hand which held it at the end of the lesson was the one made to tingle in consequence, so it was a common occurrence for the child who had it to move about from pew to pew, craftily tempting others to speak Welsh. Thjs sign of guilt therefore often changed

hands until at lust it rested in that which had to bear the burden of all tho transeressions of that law." I I He Knew. J They were country people pure and simple, but they had read the papers and thought they were educated up to all the improvements of a city. When they went to Washington they went through the navy department and sa-.r the models of our shins of war.

tne seal o

commerce is so called from hav

ing a broad, curved line of darl connected spots extending aloneach shoulder and meeting on tin back above the tail, forming a fu. uro something like an ancient harj As the hoods are often 'with tl harps, they are also taken for the ekins. The male, called the "do hood," is distinguished from the fi male by a curious tack or bag o flesh on his nose. Wien nttackeor enraged he inflates this hoo with air so as to cover the face am eyes, nnd it is strong enough to re sist teal shot. When thus protect ed he can be killed only by shooting him in the neck and the base of the skull. Unlike the cowardly harp seal, the dog hood fights desperately in defense of his mate and young ones, and if they arc killed he become furious, inflates his hood, while hü nostn!3 dilate into two huge bladders. As he rushes at his enemy with floundering leaps, it is as well to keep a safe distance if the hunter is alone, for instances have occurred where a fight between an old dog hood and five or six men has lasted for an hour, nnd more than once a man has been crunched to death by the powerful jaws. The seal is a great traveler, but depends on the rivers of the ocean to take him where he wants to go. Like a rrood many other tourists, he Epcml his summer m the north, leaving the southern waters in May and pending about three months

i side of the room remote from t!ie

platform a small target. After ex?laining the operation of the gun rofessor Loomis wa3 in the habit of landing three of its projectiles with mathematical accuracy in the center of the bullseye. The professor was always applauded for this feat, but his grim face, covered by a tightly drawn

j Bkin of parchment hue, neer show- , cd the slightest sign of gratification or recognition of any kind. To him 'it was apparently only a scientific ' experiment to be exactly demon

strated. Ono claps of juniors, however, who had learned of t'e immemorial incident from the then seniors, at

tempted a litt'o experiment of

their own, the subject he.ng mathematical and scientific human nature. Three puHs from the air gun, and, although the students saw that tho bullseye was perforated as usual, there was not a sound of applause. Professor Loomis looked a moment at the clas- in a startled "way, then at tho target, and then, with a degree of emotion he had never before shown, exclaimed: "Didn't it hit? Didn't it iit? Didn't it hit?" A roar cf laughter, followed by even more than tne usual applause, showed the professor that he had not lost his mathematical accuracy. Causes of War. The horrors of the Indian mutiny will still be remembered, and the cause which led to it is a matter of history. Cartridges grease-i

with cow's fat were served out to the sapoys, who refused to usa them on the ground that the com was a sacred animal. Almost without any warning the terrible massacres followod, which were only avenged at an enormous expenditure of lives and money. The war which deluged Austria and Prussia with blood in 1866 emanated in the former failing to answer a question asked by the latter. In the Bpring of that year the Austriana began to arm very speedily and powerfully, and the Prussians wanted to know the reason. To thü they would give no reply, and Prussia, thinking it was an unfriendly and menacing action, brought about the gorv campaign. London Tit-Hits.

Chinese Vcrship cf Ancestors. The ono -t ritunl force that dominates ever- ehus of society in China is anc'-.r worship. In the Chinese religion thorn is no other that can take it- place for u moment. A man may or may not worship idols, lie may express his utter skepticIsm about them or profess belief in them. No one cares what he thinks. Let him, however, neglect tho worship of the dead and he is looked upon and pointed to with the bitterest ecom ooth by his own relations and by his neighbors. Tho worst taunt that the heathen can hurl against the Christian, and th one that stings him most, is the sneering statement that he has n ancestors. New York Tribune.

Too Great a Loss. Whoever knows anything about the small boy and his pride in hi first pair of trousers will recognize, the truth of a story the Philadelphia Ledger prints.
