The married man has a better grasp on the situation. He need not be so careful In choosing hti language; his arrowa can strike home with surpris ing accuracy. He can adroitly shame the wife who cares for his opinion into not countenancing outlandish modes, especially In the case where FAVORITE OF FILMDOM Greed had carried lovt away: - Every face was marred by ear - Ah I but that was yesterday. If there Is one thing above all oth erf that a stylish woman will not con fess It is that she Is dressing to please .the men, The truth Is she craves to look her best In the eyes of admirer, lover and husband. No one bemoans the advent of an absurd fashion more than the women who are dismayed by them, but forced Into wearing them. When It comes down to the truth of the matter, men are to blnme for fashion's freaklsh- ness by not rising up en masse tn pro testation against them, not openly, but by clever ruses. " What sweetheart will feel quits' satisfied with her new hooped gown If her lover remarks with n well-simulated sigh, "Of course I don't know anything about women's styles, but In my eyes you look a thousand times sweeter) more girlish, in the dress you have just laid aside than In this new one. If you want to make me happy wear the other dress or a new one made on those pretty simple Hues." Nine girls out of ten will brave fashion's eccentricity to - j Poultry Pointers j Fowls kept in a clean henhouse are " more likely to be free from disease. A little practice will enable one to dry-pick chickens and fowls and those so picked will usually bring better prices. As the chicks grow older and larger, be sure that they do not overcrowd their coops, for If they crowd at night they will not make the best use of their, food and will not grow as they should. Grit and oyster shell should be In cluded In the ration for both young and old. To neglect this would be poor economy. To finish fattening turkeys give them all the whole or cracked corn they will eat two or three times a day. Now that the poultry cannot obtain t2yVH( worms In the fields, the need " ffr'i J aPttf? must be supplied by beef scraps, flsfi"mal..pr cut, fresh bone. ..

Peanuts or a Private Car The spending 'of thousands without thought is probably not so different from spending dimes and coppers when you get used to it The man who makes half a million over night in war babies probably feels much the same when he blowB $10,000 at a lick as you do after you get your envelope and take home a bag of peanuts to the kids. There .Is a kind of glow of sat isfaction In being able to spend a dime. As for the loss of the money neither you no the millionaire will know the difference by Monday morn ing. It is all a relative matter, says a writer. Just the same, It must be a sensa tion the first time you do as the man did who breezed Into the Pennsylvania railroad office In New York one day last summer and ordered a private car to take him to San Francisco. Of course, the Pennsy gets similar orders every once and so often and they are not In the habit of becoming excited about them. But this was a little out of the ordinary, because no private cars were to be had, and when the prospective traveler was so advised he seemed to feel somewhat as commuters do when the incoming fall time table drops the fast summer train. In other words, he appeared to be annoyed and he showed it by ordering the railroad folk to buy him a car. -. They did that little thing to oblige and" it cost him some $20,000 but It was worth it. lie didn't have to worry once between New York and the const about getting up and giving a perfectly, good, comfortable seat to a lady.

Crown Prince Likes Slang A neutral diplomat gives an ac count In the Cornhill Magazine of Ml conversations with the crown prince of Prussia, apparently during his voy age to India.

It is effective if the husband of such a wife throws op his' hands in apparent hor ror when she shows him her new be ruffled, hoop-skirted gown In triumph, exclaiming: "Now, Lucy, what could have pos sessed a fat woman yes, I say a fat woman like you to stand for a cari cature 'Of that kind I cannot under stand You will appear to weigh 200 in It 'Couldn't you have realised It will make you seem to be years older than yon really are? When we are seen walking together, people will suppose at casual glance that I am taking my mother out for an airing. If yon want to please me wear something built upon simple lines." Of course the wife Is thrown Into a spasm of grief and tears, but the dress has become so obnoxious to her she hies straightway to her fashion able modiste, ordering the hoops and the bustle removed. . If all the women, young and old, who constitute society, refuse to ac cept this freakish fashion, or that one, the makers of styles would leash their Imaginations, giving a little seri ous thought to the fitness of the modes they launch upon a world of suffering women. Men, nnd men only, could Work a reformation that would be an eye-opener to fashion creators. Men should set their feet cautiously down on the fnt lady wearing skirts so tight that she has to be hoisted by main force Into a street carpind wear ing a behooped -affair means ex tra cars for the company, If a dozen or more hoop-skirted women of ample girth are to be accommodated within a car's ljmlts, or separate cars for mere men.

Soup Is a food that Is equally good for old and young, nnd a nourishing soup Is especially good . for growing children and should be often found In the ration prepared for them. Cream soups and purees are more nourishing than the clear broths. The latter serve a valuable purpose when followed by a hearty meat dish, but the heavier soups are a meal of them selves If served with plenty of good bread and butter. Children should have ' much simpler meals than the parents and, when possible, have their meal earlier, so that they may have plenty of sleep. Soup meat should never be put Into water to be washed, but carefully wiped with a damp cloth, as washing deprives it of Its juices. Rich Brown Stock. Almost any kind of meat and bone may be put into the stock pot and the careful housewife will not waste one clean scrap- of meat or bone. Take three and a half pounds of bnef, some poultry or game bones, four cloves, two bay leaves, one teaspoonful of whole peppers, two quarts of cold water, two carrots, two browned onions, two stalks of celery, some sweet herbs, like marjoram or thyme, and simmer slowly for four hours; strain and when cold remove the fat The bones may be again covered with water and sim mered to extract all flavor, and this thinner soup used to add flavor to other soups.

He will Inform, the traveler of the dreadful climates to be endured, the shameful treatment extended to all foreigners, most especially Americans, that will have to be suffered In passing through custom houses ; and other sim ilar tales, writes F. E. Duerr in the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union. After a voyage of 14 days the city of Para, better known as Belem, Is reached, and among the many pleas ant surprises that greet the traveler Is the excellent and prompt manner In which his baggage is cleared through the customs by Intelligent officials, who act with a degree of promptness that one would hardly expect In such close proximity to the equator. ; From the pier or dock, which com pares favorably with the best of our country, there are electric cars or auto mobiles that will take one to a first class hotel, of which there are several In Para, where the Inland traveler can put up until he makes his connection with a river steamer. There are several ways of making the trip up the Amazon, the quickest being by means of nn ocean steamer of either the Brazilian or British lines, which operate as far as Manaos. There are occasional British boats that go as far as Iqultos, Peru. In this way the trip to Manaos can be made in from three to four days. To properly see the Amazon, however, It Is better to go by one of the river boats, which ply lazily up against the fast current. On account of the high cost of taking coal to the Amazon, the river boats are run by wood fuel, and the larger steamers consume about 12,000 sticks of wood, 4 feet long by 4 by 4 Inches, per day. On an average of every other day this fuel Is loaded frofn the river banks, stick by stick, all the work being done by hand and, needless to say, this operation, after being witnessed more than once, may become somewhat tiresome. Boats Are Comfortable. The cabins on the boat are large and roomy, and have electric lights and fans; the dining room Is aft on the open deck, and In the mornings, as during the greater part of the day, It is quite comfortable on board. After sundown, however, the number of in sects of all types, sizes, etc., makes It unpleasant and the traveler finds' It necessary to escape Into his screened stateroom, or into his hammock or cot, carefully Inclosed by mosquito netting of very fine mesh. There are four first-class shower baths on board, also running water In the cabins, and every thing considered, one can make one's self fairly comfortable. The enptain, or "comandonte," as he Is called, rules supreme, and, on the overage, Is a highly educated navigator, and be and his "cabinet" of officers are very agreeable to the passengers. When ono becomes accustomed to the food, It is very nourishing, and the service on the whole Is satisfactory. Besides the frequent stops for fuel, the steamer calls at a half-dozen points between Para and Manaos, the prin cipal ones being Suntnrem, noted for its fine batelnos (large rowboats and lighters) ; Obldos, the narrowest part of the river, and Itncoatlara, near the mouth of the Madeira river. A further surprise to the traveler, who has just spent ten days In the mud-yellow river, Is the sudden change in the color of the water to a deep black, which Is the first sign of ap proaching the city of Manaos, a thou sand miles from the mouth of a trop ical river. This city has nn excellent electric car service, numerous public and prl- Soap as an Antiseptic. Some medical authorities, explaining the abatement of epidemic diseases In modern years, are sufficiently free from professional ties to attribute this betterment of conditions, not to medi cal science but to Increased use of soap and water. The Homeopathic Envoy Is of the opinion that with a clean house and a clean person no one need have much fear of infection. A writer In the New York Medlcnl Rec ord says: "Soap Is now recognized tn be antiseptic and to be efficacious roust produce a lather. Bacteria rubbed into soap or dropped on Its surface are Incapable of multiplication. The ty phoid bacillus Is very sensitive to soap, being killed by a S per cent solution In a short time. More than half the total number will die in one minute. The thorough use of a pure potash soap la not only a mechanical method of cleansing, but Is an active fuctor in cutting down germ life."

There is a spirit of bustle and traffic in the streets that reminds one of our own Boston. Up the Madeira. . The steamer, having remained three days In Manaos, Is now ready to con tinue her Journey. The trip up the Amazon above Manaos takes one to Iqultos, the wonderful Inland town of Peruj with nn outlet through the Ama zon to the Atlantic ocean, while It is but 500 miles from the Pacific coast. However, as our destination Is in an other direction, we will resume the Journey on pur river boat, We return down the Amazon as far 1 Itacoatlura, entering the Madeira river, the principal tributary of the Amazon. Only three towns on the en tire trip of 700 miles, consuming a week, are encountered Manlcore, Calama and Hulmalta. Numerous stops are mude tit rubber estates, there being several hundred along both banks of the Madeira, to deliver the mall. The steamer trip ends nt San Anto nio, but as Portovelho Is the starting point of the Madeira Mamore railway, the voyage practically terminates ut the latter place. Arriving at Portovelho one finds a mushroom town, such places as are lo cated the world over where a sudden undertaking such as the building of a canal or railroad or the development of a mine on a large scale, calls for the Installation of headquarters. Be fore the railroad was contemplated, Portovelho was little known, even to the people of the Amazon regions. To day, besides the large and modem railroad shops, there is found a tele phone system, a wireless station, elec tric lighting of the streets, residences, offices and other buildings of the road. running water, and an ice plant that furnishes the Ice for all the points along the line and even for some of the towns across the border In Bolivia. One mile distant, at Cnndelarla, there Is a fine hospital with first-class equip ment In every respect. Practically every train that leaves Portovelho car ries a hospital car, and serious cases are rapidly conducted to the hospital. Alphabetical Atrocity.

Poor Mr. Pond Frog could hardly Hop about, so Tired was he after the long Summer. But he went to the dif ferent places In the Pond Grandpa Frog told him to, and Croaked every where: "Bed-Time, Winter Bed Time." Grandpa Frog went about, too, and said: "Get your Bed of Mud. Roll yourself up in It The Ice will come soon, and If we're not Warm, we'll Freeze." Mr. Pond Frog heard him say that and Laughed, even though he was so Sleepy. "Of course," he said, "If we don't keep Warm we'll Freeze. There you are again saying something everyone knows!"
