BEAUTY IS DECAYING

PRETTY WOMEN ARE GETTING SCARCE, SAYS A PAINTER.

Amoni the lleaaona lie Aulgni Are Ovrmtmlr and Athleilci—Sara Women Fail to Koariah Beauty and

Men Seem Not to Curt For It.

"The UniUtl States, in the past 100 years, has certainly produced a greater Dumber of handsome women than any other civilized country, but, unfortunately, since feminine beauty defies statistics, we have no figures to compare on the subject, for all that the standard of beauty among our women grows lower every year." suid a New York portrait painter whose work is known from the Atlantio to the Pacific. "There area number of reasons to be cited an responsible for the existence of this condition," he said. "One of the mo*t potent reasons, I think, Is the absolute Indifference of the nineteenth century and especially the American man to physical perfection in womankind "Kven 50 years ago they were vastly more sensitive to its Influence and interested in its ph/ises Young fellows half a century Ixtck read poetry, nourished romantic dreams, wore their hair about their ears and

to dark eyed Inez and golden haired Helen Fairy forms, clustering ringlets, azure orbs, etc ., flitted through their dreams, and the woman whose apiiearance tallied in a measure with these standard# was reverenced and adored as the ideal sweetheart and wife. "He did not care a rap whether Inez could read Greek or not or understood a word of parliamentary law, but he did delight over her blushes, her swan throat and alabaster shoulders, and the portrait painters of that day prove, leyond a doubt, that she possessed most of these charms In an abundance we don't see any longer "Nowadays the girl who sets out to rule in society by virtue of a lovely face and figure is apt to find herself queening it over a very few masculinc subjects. I don't know whether the men or the women are to blame for this change, but certain It is that no matter if she be as subtly graceful as Cleopatra, as fair as Helen of Troy, she will have no swains adoring her for those gifts of nature alone What the modern man now admires is a lively miss, whose tongue rattles as brisk a measure as castanets, who has a spontaneous ready laugh, who can make tfolf balls sing through the air, who is full of grit and go and jokes, who Is not afraid to put a cigarette !etw««cn her lips, ho is, in short, a jolly good fellow If her feet are small, her waist a snug circle, her eyes bright and her clothes In the height of fashion, she is a belle and easily

ty whose claim nobody disputes All the poetry and the novels of the day proclaim the supremacy of this little lady. The novelists no longer bother to tell you whether their heroines are fair or not nobody cares. Heroines who have an influence. like the ehlo women who rule iti society, .don't rest on any such laurels as luxuriant tresses, snowy necks and pearly teeth. Those were the weapons of women of another time, both In books and in real life.

Today if a woman must have admiration she either goes in for athletics or learning or she dresses her darling, vivacious, little self up in I'arls gowns, and thus earns her lielieshlp Whether she does this iNH'ause she prefers to le athletic and learned and what not- else to her old power—Ixnuty—or whether she has grasp ed at them as substitutes for her lost and irretrievable loveliness 1 don't vouch. It is enough to say that they are bound to suHlce and every one is apparently happy, except, the artists and sculptors, who find It battler and harder exery year to secure proper models. "All tlnse, however, are not the prime reasons for the d»x'a.v of beauty. Men are philosophic ami have learned to estimate mental over physical charm, chiefly le caust* the new woman has n.it much beau tytooiTer There is a notion prevalent among the gentler sex that it is very foolish to waste time nourishing her bodily charms, that there are more Important callings in this world Having decided to underestimate this great gift, she is as busy as possible destroying it. "She Is doing it by overstudy for one thing In payment her Itook looming she is contracting her chest, extinguishing the limpid light in her eyes and bleaohlnir her cheeks. In payment-for her tremendous athletics she Is growing horny palmed with heavy muscles, ruining the contours of her I hubs, her complexion is weather beaten and her hair Is rough. In society she overwhelms Iter strength with so many duties and ploasuresand such extravagant rich food tiuit she is the victim of gout, nerves, neuralgia and dyspe|sin. and 111 health has sapjvd her color, spoiled her figure and aged her liofore her time "To sum up my argument, I would con elude that the whole etiurse of our civilisation is against the growth of feminine Uwity Men no longer can1 for it, and women no Imiger nourish it.

Gentle VOMI'I Weapoa*. After dinner the talk ran upon the claims made by the new woman for the ballot and higher wages. The old doctor listened lu silence awhile and then said: "I have nothing to say as to woman'* rights, but I have an opinion as to the way in which she should urge them. Let me recall one or two facts: "The straw workers near Florence, in Italy, Home little time ago struck for higher pay. The soldiery was called in by their employers. When the troops arrived in a railroad train, they found hundreds of women, young and old, seated on the track, 'like nothing so much,' said an eyewitness, 'as a flock of cackling hens.'

The crowd stood around laughing and Joking with Italian delight in fun. The engine drawing the train stopped, then, threatening to run over them, moved forward a foot or two. The women laughed and calmly sat still. The troops were then drawn up in line and pointed their moskets at them "The women sat immovable, good humored, but resolute. They knew the order to fire would not be given. In the end they won their point simply by calm, good humored determination. Their strength, as they wisely apprehended, lay in cheerful persistence in their demands. Tact, common sense and a gentle, courteous bearing are woman's weapon*—and they have worked marvels in human history." —Youth's Companion.

GSrla Shanned by Men.

There are many girls who are shunned by men, and for the most part the fault lies with themselves.

The girl who never exercises herself to be agreeable unless she can have everything her own way is one of them, for there is not a man alive who will give way in everything to a girl.

The girl who scolds is another typo. She may be perfectly good tempered, Dut she has contracted the scolding habit, and so she is left alone to scold at her pleasure.

Then there is the girl with the haughty manner and cold stare. No man dares to make love to her, because there is nothing whatever to love in her. So the girl scowls at what she considers their bad taste, utterly Ignorant of the fact that her own foolish conduct is the sole cause of their neglect.

Another girl without a lover is the painfully shy maiden. She likes to see men at a distance, but the moment they draw near she drives them back with embarrassment. They retire simply out of pity, seeing her distress and awkward bashfulness.

Last on the list oomes the girl who always has something smart to say about every one she sees, ridiculing people in order to be considered clever, little knowing how men intensely dislike to hear her pulling everylxtdy's character to pieces for their amusement.—Philadelphia Times.

WooInK In Lapland.

When the young Laplauder is in love with a girl, he and she run a race. He ia heavily hnndicap|cd, so that she may win if she chooses, and if she outruns him he cannot projxjse again. Of course she suffers herself to lxovertaken If she cares for him, but the consent of her parents must bo obtained before she can bo married.

The law of the land Is very strict on this point, and in olden times the man was sub joct to capital punishment If ho married without the consent of the girl's parents. After a Laplander has chosen a brido he sends her a present of a girdle, a ring and a quantity of brandy. Ho goes as far as tho door of her hut, but remains outside until invited to enter, when a bumper of brandy Is offered to tho girl's father. If he drinks it, it is a sign ho consents to the marriage, and the young lover then promises to give the girl some clothes and pays a sum of money down on the spot. This of cotirso is a remnant of marriage by purchase, which in primitive times succeeded marriage by capture.

Hanns are published onco in Lapland, and the marriage ceremony is very short. The bride wears her hair loose and has a gold Imud around her head. Her presents and her dowry are generally reindeer, and she and her bridegroom remain with her parents for a year after tnarriago.—Exchange.

Wotnnn'a Hand.

It is certainly not true that small hands nre bred by choice descent, for in ono family the hands of both women and men are found different In size and in every other quality. The individual woman of the people stretches and hardens her hand and batters her nails on her own account, so that months of care would not retrieve it, but doubtless her baby hand was much the same as a rich woman's in her own babyhood. Kngllsh women and Americans, with tiioir blond hands, are admired deliriously for this ono beauty by the darker races, IJut, at any rate, to English eyes there is loveliness also in the flne hand that has clear brown color In place of white—a rare beauty, for the blond woman has usually tho finer form of hand, but somewhat dark must havo been the "tender inward of the hand" that played on the virginals for Shakespeare.—Collier's Weekly.

Iloxlns a Bride'* Bar.

In Lithuania, a province of Russia, it is customary that the bride's cars should I* boxed liofore the marriage ceremony. No matter how tender hoarted the mother may ln\ she always makes it a point of administering a hoorty smack to her daughter in the presenceof witnesses, and a note is made of the fact. The mother's intention is a kind ono. though the custom it .self is ivi.H The reason for it is to protect the brido should her marriage prove an unhappy ono. In that case she will sue for a div. rve. and her plea will be that she was forced Into the marriage against her will, ami on that score the verdict of the judge will lie in her favor.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Special Correspondence. NEW YOKK, March 2.—The familiar crinkle or otherwise uneven surface peculiar to ere pons, again appears, and seemingly with as great prestige as when having the advantage of novelty. In view however, of the firm hold taken by independent waists, these favorite goods are chiefly in black since with an independent waist, nothiug harmonizes so well as a black skirt, because black alone furnishes the requisite contrast which sets off color, and nine out of ten or a larger proportion of independent waists are colored, although increased convenience is afforded by the fact that charmingly neat and somewhat dressy outfits may be obtained by a black taffeta silk or satin waist with a black wool skirt. Such outfit is really preferable to one that is all wool or all silk, since on occasion a shirt waist can be substituted and it goes without saying, that a black silk "waist is for many reasons preferable to one en suite with the skirt. It is lighter, prettier and usually more comfortable.

Crepon effects appear in goods quite foreign to crepon, as for example, when grenadines show surfaces filled in to plaids or stripes or in other materials, crinkled satin stripes vary plain groundworks. Grenadines and etamines are specially attractive this season, both from new colors and designs in tasteful contrasts. A lovely example is in heliotrope of a dark shade adorned by a circular pattern in a lighter hue and equally pretty, though bolder in thought, is a black grenadine having a large circular pattern in crimson. This if made up over crimson silk would have great dash, or placed over black silk, might be correspondingly modest. For general wear.

Covert cloth in light weight is in great demand and stylish suits are being selected of fine, hard twill showing rich braid adornments in black. These come in dress patterns and the braiding appears chiefly on the front breadth, with a modicum of course on the corsage and sleeves. Sleeves in general, are so much smaller than last season, that alterations will generally be obligatory, but changes can be made by taking out the puff and substituting a small cap of silk or satin. Jacket fronts appear again on new spring gowQs and will add their quota towards timely alterations. Nor has the pouch front, objectionable as it is in the estimation of many persons, been done away with. It remains a feature, but happily in much less exaggeration than has been the case.

Shirt waists are irrepressible and inevitable and in view of demand, are shown in great numbers and variety styles given^ at Lord & Taylor's are remarkable for excellence in fit and finish. Ginghams are in stripes that run either diagonally or across and most desirable waists are in linen material, a new style fabric composed of linen and cotton in mixture and in patterns similar to ginghams. Beautifully refined shirt waists are in white linen finished in hemstitching that runs in diagonal squares or scallops and another style of finish that appears specially ou pique waists shows graduated rows of tucks that end in two below the bust. Graduated cordings are likewise new and appropriate to lawn or linen. Piques are in great demand this season and a feature in all new waists are rounded cuffs and colored collars to match colored waists, thus displacing the white linen collar except for white waists. Gingham waists run in price from 98 cents to $2.75 pique from $1.75 to 12.45 fancy piques from 12.25 to $2.75 linen in fancy stripes, are $2.75 and white linen from $2.75 to $2.95.

New millinery is extremely fanciful. Brims turned back from the face, are in keeping with rolled hair, but verv jaunty examples turn up on one side or fluted brims impart coquetry, in such style, the double brim of last season, being well represented. Here, the lower brim is of medium width and straight, with a fluted one above. As an entire novelty, may be mentioned hats in Milan straw with straight, medium brims that have linings of fancy straw and numerous examples have crowns of plain straw with fancy brims, although this is by no means a new foattire. Crowns are usually of medium height and size, though some hats for young people, have large Tam O'Shanta crowns, and large squares to be made into soft crowns, are conspicuous millinery offerings.

Plisse 'Mousseline is brought out freely as a millinery material and an elegant imported sample that may be classed either as a hat or bonnet, has a soft roll of mousselline veiled by tuelle around the brim, with center filled in completely by flowers. Thus it will be seen that tulle is again an element in millinery and appears either in soft bunchings or as an overcasting on some other fabric, generally mousseline, but since contrasts, the bolder the better, area leading idea of the day, large importations of velvet as a millinery fabric, are very noticeable. Ornaments are very bold immense jet and pther pins hold trimmings in barbaric fashion and cabuchon shaped adornments vie with pronounced buckles to be used as completions. Imitation jewels have lost nothing in prestige and are presented for the patronage of the most fastidious buyers.

Flowers are often huge and mammoth roses reaching fully six inches across are not uncommon. Bat usually the leaves are flattened oat, so that the flower has a pancake appearance. Others however are markedly new, by reason of plisse leaves in the center, this being quit* different from the crushed roam that have been so familiar. An important quota of flowers, however, are medium or small sited, so that there Is a very wide range for selecI tion the more so, because orchids are

two mammoth roses that are the prelude to a full ending of graceful lilacs.

In ribbons chene patterns at once attract attention and as a notable revival may be chronicled the advent of gros grain ribbon that for so long has been out of favor. Taffeta ribbon holds its own nevertheless and there is an important exhibition of gauze ribbons in varied stripes, some in plisse style that harmonizes with plisse effects elsewhere in dress.

"DUTCH TEARS."

An Old Chemist Telia About an Interesting Experiment. "It is a great wonder," said an old chemist in his laboratory the other day, "why more boys do not make chemical experiments as an amusement. Why, I can do things with the common materials of everyday life which really seem to be more magical to the uninitiated than any of the wonders performed by magicians of the public stage. '•Now, there are those curious little bubbles of glass known variously as 'Prince Rupert's drops' and as 'Dutch tears.' Apparently they are merely little globules of glass with elongated tails, made by heating a small glass rod in a Same and allowing the molten drops to fall into water. After they have cooled you may pound the thick part with a hammer or mallet, yet you cannot break them. "On the other hand, if you break a little piece off their tails or touch any part of them with a quartz crystal they will immediately disappear into the surrounding atmosphere. To the person who does not know the reason the performance is most astonishing. "And yet it is all very simple. It is due to what is known as surface cohesion. Glass when heated to a molten state has naturally reached a very high temperature, and when tho drops of melted glass are allowed to fall into the cold water the sudden change produces a stress all over the surface of the drop which is really terrific. This strt ss. however, must be considered as a whole. "It is very strong when taken all together, but it is exactly as though a piece of very thin rubber was stretched over the surface of the glass. If you punctured the rubber, its haste to resume its normal condition would pull it off the glass. "So when you break off the tail of tho drop or cut through the film of very hard glass with a crystal its endeavors suddenly to resume its normal condition result in its own destruction, and it breaks up into particles which are really finer than the finest sand. "It seeins like a wonderful performance, but it is a no more wonderful performance than many others which any youngster could perform if he would study even the simplest forms of chemical action."—Boston Herald.

Not a little danger is occasioned by children snuffing np accidentally or otherwise articles into the nose, where they get lodged and refuse to move one way or the other. The great dunger is of the article remaining there so long before it is removed as to canse swelling and inflammation. The following will be found a very simple method of removing the article: Place a thin cloth over the child's mouth, and with yonr fingers close the nostril not containing the article. Next put your month close to the child's and give two or three strong puffs, and in nine cases out of ten the substance will fly out.

Cover the top with thin slices of pickled gherkins and lastly with mashed potato to the depth of an inch, scoring the potato across nicely.

The Remarkable Way in which Adam Salm Acquired Success and Happiness.

Every one in Vernon and for miles around knows honest, good natured Adam Salm, and not only in Vernon Center, N. Y., where he has resided for twenty-eight years and conducts his large and well-kept farm, but wherever he is known his word is respected.

His happiness, success in life and even life itself was due to a victory over disease. "It was a wonderful victory" he says, "from the dreadful disease which threatened to vitiate my life and one that has made lite miserable for thousands and filled innumerable premature graves. It is that form of disease known as rheumatism, and which held undisputed sway until its conquering enemy came in the form of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

For along time I experienced untold sufferings from the ravages of this fearful ailment. All kinds of remedies were resorted to for relief, but it was the same experience that had cores to countless .victims of rheumatism—immunity from excruciating pmn for a time, but after temporary relief came suffering once more, as the insidious malady took a new grip on its distracted victim.

I happened to learn of the wonderful power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in conquering rheumatism, but lonv suffering had made me incredulous as I had spent many dollars for other remedies, without finding relief and this experience had embittered me apainst proprietary medicines. I finally concluded to try these pills and bought one box of them, and before they wee all used I experienced relief such as I had not enjoyed since my affliction betmn. With the depletion of the'first box cauie another

TO PREVENT EARACHE.

Hoir to Remove Superfluous Wax. Great Care Necessary. Few ailments are more common ampng children than earache, and mothers, thongh unconscious of the fact, are themselves the cause of mnch suffering from this painfnl malady in their children. In her anxiety to have the child's ear clean a mother will sometimes endeavor to remove every particle of ear wax from the inner portion of the ear, and to accomplish this to her own satisfaction will sometimes even use a hairpin covered with a towel or the towel itself twisted to a point.

The treatment is not only altogether too harsh, but it is unnecessary and harmful to remove all the wax. The membrane lining the canal of the ear contains a great number of little glands which secrete this waxy substance, and the purpose of this is to prevent the entrance of insects and keep the inner ear clean. The layers of wax dry in scales, which rapidly fall away and remove with them any particle of dust or other foreign matter which may have found entrance to the ear.

Be contented when yon have made the child's ear clean outside and thoroughly dry and leave nature to attend to her affairs in her own way. In a case of earache nothing more irritating than a few drops of olive oil warmed to a temperature of blood beat should ever be placed in the ear. Nine-tenths of the earache of childhood and a large proportion of the deafness of old age is dne to adenoid growths in the throat, which may be removed when one is young by a very slight operation.

and another until twelve boxes had been consumed. "Just six months from the time the first box' had been taken I was a cured man, and with the consumption of the last pill went out my blessing to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and to the management which is spreading its efficacy throughout the world relieving suffering humanity from the chains of disease. This is no fairy tale, but a trua story prompted in the fullness of agrateftil heart, and given for the benefit of those who ruav le similarly afflicled." "fhis is to certify that the article published in the Vernon Timts of December 1", concerning my cure of rheumatism by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for 1'nle People is true and published with my sanction.

ADAM SALM.

Subscribed and sworn to before me. GEO. L. BOWERS, Xotary Public. The blood is the vital element in our lives consequently it must be kept pure, rich and red in order to have perfect health. The cause of Mr. Salm's sickness was impure and impoverished blood. He had skilled medical treatment and used many remedies, but derived no benefit until he commenced to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and these cured him.

This proves that this remedy is the best means of imparting I base elements that purify, vitalize and enrich the blood, thus aiding bodilv functions and arousing every organ into healthful action and in this way rcstorinu the entire system.

That is the reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People cure so many diseases, whv doctors prescribe them, why druggists recommend them and why they ars so unlvw ally used.
