The "Veteran Sailor Advises A veteran sailor, who Jias crossed tha Atlantic many. times gives thU advice to the young woman who It about to make her maiden trip: If seasickness overtake! you, go to your berth and stay there until you are well able to look your beet. Nowhere are women more open to criticism from the other sex than aboard ship. For men. be It said to their credit, are fastidious an to the appearance they make on deck. For the voyage get a navy serge or a gray flannel tailor-made, with two or three white pique skirt. With these get white cambric blouses, just us many as you please, one for two or three days of the voy age, or one for every day, If money matters not. With the blouses will be required dainty silk find embroidered cravats, and belts of suede or linen, with pretty buckles, say one of navy, another gray, to correspond with the tailor-made gown, and a dainty white suede for pique skirts. For dlrtlng and .evening wear on beard one black evening frock with a couple of bodices will be found sufficient. As they are non-eHBentlal they should be high In the neckwlth a transparent yoke, according to one's taste. One bodice may be all Mark, another black and white, or white trimmed with black. Simple, shady hats of straw, with soft, pretty rib bon rosettes are advisable. A long ulster or coat will be found extremely handy for stormy days, with a cap, the kind that slips into the pocket of, the coat. A more elaborate outfit for the girl with money may the Girl Waking , Her Maiden Sea Trip 11 J S ft 1 t O. ---! . . -contain a swagger pepper and salt suit 6f some rough" material, made with plain, full gored skirt, the Jacket long over the hips, with pointed yoke of white satin covered with dark Russian lace; over this three straps of the goods, two ending above the end of the yoke and the third running down under belt to about the end of the Jacket. With this is worn a black and white mixed straw 'turban with a bunch of aigrettes on left side. A pretty and cool hat to be worn with the cam bric waist U of grass linen with a soft fold of white satin ribbon and black velvet around the crown, end ing In a soft knot on left hand side, through which u fancy quill Is placed. A striking costume for pleasant afternKins is made of white flannel, or some soft material. The skirt made with overlapping sen ins stitched with red. The waist blouse has a deep curved yoke, over which Is a sailor collar with a four-in-hand of soft red silk In front. The edge of collar and yoke stitched In red. On the shield In front and on top of sleeves are hand somely embroidered red anchors. A white knitted sweater will be found most handy for cool or stormy morning. belnK comfortable and easy to put on over a shirtwaist. A white yachting cap, worn wlih this, looks well. A more,drrssy outing hat of rough and ready yel low .traw, with large side bow of black velvet or rib bon, according to one's taste, clasped with fancy orna ment, completes an ample on-board outfit. Above all, never go ashore In a mualin frock, but In a weii-made tailor gown. White shoes for white gowns, tan or black tor tailor-made, are other Important points to be noted by ladles Intending to take a sea voyage. ' A veil Is essential If the tourist would preserve per face from unwelcome tan and keep her hald comely and neat. ChifTfjn and sewing silk are best, and drapa prettily on the hat when not veiling the face.

Chamois and washable kid gloves are best because the damp air does not affect or sjot them. The vogue for fabric gloves has prompted the tourist to select the suede lisle and silk they are easily put on and off, and made HOW to cleverly simulate kid. , Steamer ruirs, of course, -are needed. Some folk take two. This, of course, Implies a shawlstrap or carryall, so that these essentials may be carried' la out-of-the-wsy handy fashion. ...

IDEAL MATRIMONY. It has been argued, from the experience preme genius ought not to marry, but to adopt the semi-monastic IK which lial sac advocated us long as M. Hanska was alive. Too often they marry before they are quite conscious of their high culling, and In that case nothing can be said, us the law has strangely forgotten to Include the discovery of genius among the reasons for di vorce. If they wait, or are pre cocious enough to become aware of their own powers before they fall in love, they are liable to bi caught on the horns of u dilemma. Lf the man of genius looks out for soms nice, plump, good tempered, house-wifely creature. Ilk Mme.

Per haps the remedy is to be found in the lim ited polygamy which was advocated by Blr John Elleamere In that wise und witty book Realmah." He thought that the man of genius should be allowed nine wives at least "only, for goodness' sake, do not let them be nine fuses." Their functions were thus enumerated: 1. The arch-coneoctor of salads. 2. The 9ewr-on of buttons. 3. The Intelligent maker of bread sauoe. 4. The player of Beethoven's music. 5. The player of common tunes Old Dog Tray, Early In the Morning, Pop Goa the Weasel, and Paddle Your Own Canoe, all of which tunes I think beauti ful. . The consoler under difficulties. 7. The good reader. 8. The one beloved wife (dear deluded creature), who always believes in her hus band and takes him to be ths dlscreetest, most virtuous and most ill-used of men mortal. I do love her! 9. The manager of the other wives. London, Dally News. DOVES ARE NOT GENTLE. Owls are no wiser, for ail their medi tative appearance, than other birds In fact, they are far below many In the scale of Intelligence. Another false Idea which many people entertain concerning these birds Is that they urn . so confused by sunlight as to he practically blind during the day. Great- horned Owls and barn owls are the most nocturnal nf all; but even these can see verv distinctly hv squinting tip -their eyelids, whtttt the snowy owls and the burrowing owls are perfectly at home In the light of the brightest day. and many owls are to lie seen flying and hunting in the sunshine as unconcernedly as any hawk. Eight persons out of ten will tell you how much better a crow or magpie can talk if Its tongue Is spit; hut you can tell them that this idea - Is absolutely false, as these birds ran articulate more distinctly with a perfect tongue. And how much suffering does this useless op eration cause, the tongue of a bird being so constantly used? Doves have a world-wide reputation for meekness and gentleness, but. If we except tneir san, soft notes, und subdued colors, there Is little to admire about I them, for their disposition. In love and war, Is anything but a gentle one.

UNCLE BUSKIRK'S BARGAIN IN STAMPS. "I dunno," said Uncle Uusklrk. as he whetted his knife on his bootleg, "why it is. but seems to me sometimes as though some people whs Just natchelly born liars and couldn't heLp It. Now there's Dave Ransome's boy. ( ewhil lickcn's. how that hoy does lie! I believe he'd ruther tell a measly, little, dried up runt of a lie any day than the good.' hon est truth, even when there ain't nothln' in me wono ler nn to gam py doln It. You know he's on our rural mail route now. Well, one day last week I went down to th'e corners to fee if I couldn't git n few stumps from him, amplifier he'd let me have 'em he says: n 'Why don' you go up -to -town fer ' your stamps? 1 have to charge you ; cents i fer every 2-cent stamp I sell you.'. " 'Well.' says I. 'I'm wlllln' to pay the I reg lar price, so what s the difference whether I get 'em from you or the post otfice?' " ph, he says, 'suit yourself about It. only they're sellln' r.-cent stamps up there now for 2 and 3 cents.'

Not a "Starved Profession." There is now no need of actual fear of want oh the part of the few who would devote their lives to scholarship despite their present poverty. There is provision made for their comfortable maintenance in the work of investigation which thev wish to carrv on. Nor Is one who Intends ! inakd t.ifichfnir hla nrof fSHifin nnv longer under the necessity of going to his work Immediately on graduation, if he has distinguished himself. 1 his means going Into his work with only a partial prepara tion, going without the high scholarship whl 'h teaching work demands, or which It ought to demand. This means a life of drudgery in elementary and drill work, especially on the culture side of educa tion. The student who. In our day. gives to university and college authorities evi dence of arnliltion. . sincerity, industry, and ability, bv his life and accomplish ments as an undergraduate, may rest con tent for his future Philanthropic persons have provided funds for the maintenance of these voting scholars to pursue their studies. They may go to the English uni versities we are not now considering the undergraduate work provided for by the Rhodes srhhliirshlps. but the specializing of graduates for the benefit of humanity In one way or another, through discov eries. Inventions, and better and sounder teaching. They may go to Germany or to the American school at Rome. Their expenses will be provided for -until thev have been through the schools of the world, and after that. If they are inves tigators. The universities, notably Har vard and Yale, have large sums Intelli gently administered to provide deserving students with means of going on with their studies. The smaller colleges also have funds, and If more Is needed for ex ceptional men the greater universities help. The new scholar of to-day need not enter the world's work, no matter how poor he may be. until he is thoroughly prepared for that part of It which he chooses to do. As time goes on. there will be more and more need for money. Largx universities and small colleges will want more to meet the growing demand. They cannot do all that they would, as it Is, but what we set out to declare Is the evi dence of the growing civilisation of the world that Is afforded by the fact that the world's scholars are growing dear to It. und that It is beginning to look after them.

The Value of the Parcel Post. Every civilised nation will sooner or later possess a parcel-post. A community which Is content io leave the conveyance of Its parcels In the hands of private con tractors must either be miserably poor or Immensely rich, and. It may be added, long-suffering. The two systems are not to be compared The private carrier of fers civility, real and other trading virt ues, but only within a limited area; the post, with a limited amount of civility, offers speed, certainty, cheapness and ubiquity In the Kervices of a vast organi zation, trained with military strictness and having an agency (two hundred an-l twenty-five thousand In the United King dom) in every village, and In every street o fa great town. The parcel post Is specially useful to the young matron whoso lives with her, "but there Is such a thing as carrying it too far. I- thtnk. Now. my husband's mother Is fear fully and wonderfully neat.
