SMILES TO ORDER NOW.
Women Kecalru 8pcil Training In an
Art Thai Win. Frlomli.
Special training in the art of smiling
is now being given by a Loudon beauty
doctor. All one has to do Is to choose
the kind of A smile she wants, aud
presto! it, is upon her features. The
doctor further promises to equip a lim
ited number of titled ladles with tlie
smile of their tjuecu. He giiaranti cs
to teach the lips of any nhiilluw butter
fly of the court the ineffable sweetness
that Alexandra has learned from life.
The fad has taken serious hold mi
society, mid there !s sure to be some
amusing results. Still, the idea is nol
bad. The world wants brighter looks
mid the household Is fairly crying for
the in.
There was talk about the mailer ai
n wotniin's club the other day, and one
member, who had just returned from
l'lughind, where she attended the coro
nation, attempted to demonstrate the
peculiarities of the Queen's muscles of
laughter. The demonstrator was m l
mailt" for any such role, but she did
her best.
...
"First, the ijiieen's mouth droops
with an adorably sad quiver at the
corners." she explained. "Then her
whole face softens ami her smile U
like a bitri-t of sunshine.''
The audience was impressed; Hi"
mooting closed in thoughtful quiel.
At the door one of the girls met. her
brother, who shortened his step to
walk home with her.
The two were pretty good friends.
,nul they walked In silence for a little
while. Hut once or twice the man
looked down at his sister as though
about to speak. Perplexity sal on his
brow. Pretty boon he said:
"Will you tell me what you are trying
to do';"
"Will you tell nie what ymt arc talk
ing about':" fIio retorted.
"I am talking about those extraor
dinary grimaces you are making. You
are not getting any nervous trouble,
are ymtV"
"I was only smiling," she answered,
with dignity. "I should tint think I
would have to explain that."
"Von weren't smiling." he growled.
"Von were mouthing. And 1 want you
to stop it. Whnt'll folks think':"
"I am praeiii ing queen Alexandra's
smile." she said, loftily. "Mrs. Trippe
told us just how she does it. and I
want to try It while it's fresh In my
mind."
lie roared with laughter.
"Well, you postpone it." he said, "or
1 11 call a hansom and slnu you in.
The queen's smile! Why. Noll, what is
the matter with your own':''
"Shi" was so pleasant." is tlie inscrip
tion on a inoss-motiled stone in a
country churchyard. "She was so
pleasant" is not a bad epitaph for any
one when the hook of life is finished
and put back ou the shelf and tin'
hands are folded and still.
The smile Is as much the sign of good
humor as an open lire is the sign of
warmth and cheer.
"Savage women never smile," was
the argument u grim-faced reformer
oiico used to prove the habit artificial
mid insincere. Hut savage women are
not ofteu chosen for models, except
by those who like to torture. Of course,
there are some savages to he found in
clvi'izod domestic circles, but where
the red squaws drive thorns Into their
victims feet the white squaws invent
subtler torment for souls. The nagging
woman does not smile. She draws
her lips down at one corner In n mean,
little miserly way that no one ever mis
takes for mirth, aud the envious wom
an's mouth is puckered with bitter
words and could not relax with honest
laughter.
After all, the Queen's Is an example
of a very good kind of a smile. It is
the siniie of uiiderstaiullug, and its
Ingredients are the essence of charity,
good will, tolerance and humor.
A vapid, foolish smile is intolerably
trying, particularly if it is seen from
aeross a dining table three times a
day. A smile must be honestly built
of' lively thoughts and friendly im
pulsed, or It Is about as warming as a
candle in a stove.
Knsy laughter is said to be the first
indication of au unsound mind, and un
timely laughter points to actual idiocy.
The theatre presents ihe best oppor
tunity to study the unfortunates hist
named. II Is a trying thing to have lo
listen to the soulless laughter of the un
informed when It is n time for tears,
although wo are used to it and put tip

Oucxtloii 11I' cotton liHlnlng.
The Loudon Times said ihe other
day that there is a strong anxiety
among Hie Lancashire cotton manu
facturers 10 be less dependent upon
American supplies of raw cotton. Sir
William Mciiregor. ioverinir of the
I'.riiish colony of La cos. West Africa,
has boon in Mgypt to study cotton
growing with a view to Introducing
the cultivation into Lagos. The (ov
eriior of Sb rra Lemte is also siirrinif
iu the matter. Ho told Hie Hritlsh
Cotton lii'owers' Association two
weeks ago thai he could depend upon
native chiefs to supply the labor and
he would do all iu liis power to pro
mote 1 (111..11 growing lu bis colony.
As We look over the field there seems
liiile prospect as vet (hat the great
inaiiiilici tiring countries will depend
b-ss upon the supply from our cotton
lields than 1 hey do I'l-ilay. Cuttoll
glowing in tropical Africa is as yet iu
Hie early experimental stag". Ii has
1 Liis; fur been a failure in Kast Africa.
The experiment iu Toga Land wiili
Aiimrl '"in Hilton seems 10 promise
belter results.
Ilussia has long desired through her
Central Asian lb-Ids to become lude
pciith ut of our supplies, but her hopes
are vanishing. The Ferghana crop I
huge and excellent. Imt nature has
placed a limit upon Ii. No more cotton
an lie raised ihan can be irrigated.
The limit of the water supply is in
s gin and there is no hone of cotloli
growing beyond that point. Similar
conditions limit the llgyiilian crop;
ami. besides, the prospect Is now bright
thai in a few years our country will
be a formidable competitor of Kgypr
in glowing KgypHan cotton on our
own lauds.
India would bo our most serious
competitor if il wore not for the fact
tinil its staple is very shori nud can
not be used for the lino yarns which
tie the crowning excellence of the
liritish industry. Brazil grows long
staple coiimi. but Its methods of rais
ing Hi" crop, preparing it for market
mill transporting It to the seaports
must he revnliit ionized before its prod
uct can be very pi iiinineiil in ihe
world's trade.
Coi ton growing on it huge scale re
quires pb my of suitable hind ami
great capital: and iherc is no part of
the world tiiai is likely ever 10 fulfil
these conditions so admirably as our
own vast cotton areas, much of which
are not yd utilized. If our cotton
liiji'is are ever to meet with serious
competition ii will be so far in Ihe
future that we may leave tlm worrying
to lilt, i' ueiieintiolis.
Shooting on 1'reserveit I.uniW.
Heeauso some of our Southern States
allow uien with guns 10 violate the law
and escape without penally, there is
. viiL inly honest confusion as to xvhav
extent members of club preserves are
amenable io State laws.
I have recently been asked by cor
li siiondoiits from widely separated
quarters whether game on club or in
dividual preserves may be shot out of
season, ami if so, in what extent.
Individual owners and members of
dubs are just as liable to the State
laws ;is any individual in the State. No
iu liv iilual owner has a right to shoot
quail or oilier game bird on bis private
pti.periy during Hie closed season for
that biri!. aud no club member has 11
i ig'ui to shoot any kind of game on the
itib property during tlie closed season.
If 1 hoy ln. they are liable to arrest
ami prosecution.
li is strange there should be conftt-
imi on this point, but there is. and no
doubt there will be until the court has
delivered its lessoti far and near. Mem
bers of game preserves may no more
violate lh" State laws, because they
nr.. on ilieir own property, than au iu
dividual may break other laws of the
State because ho is ill his own back
yard. Nor is this at all unique to
America: both in Fngland and France
private and club mouthers are obliged
to observe the game laws with respect
to the closed and open season, like the
lowliest of the people. -Caspar Whit

the paper goes to show that human be
ings do not tarry the disease, and that
rais are alone responsible. Of nearly
forty cases of plague that occurred In
Fori Klizabcth almost all were Infect
ed from living near stacks of food in
which rats were found dead of this
disease. One place where plague broke
out was two miles from any other
place where it had occurred, and here
1 biri v ib ad nils were found iu a small
stable close to the patient's house. The
lend rats wore examined microscopi
cally, and guinea pigs wer also inocu
lated from them and dhd of the same
disease. The exact mode of Inoculation
is said to have been through the me

the rats before they are cold aud seek
other tjuariers. which sometimes hap
