COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE- WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
A certain degree of thinness is
becoming, but when it comes to having
' all one’s bones showing in an unduly
prominent manner, one’s whole attens
_ tion has to be directed to covering
‘3 , them with flesh, for a woman who is
over thin is quite as unlovely as 'if she
were over stout, and the consequences
almost as fatal.
A thin person is usually also a rather .
quick-tempered one. She is not the
happy possessor of such a placid
temper as when she is fatter. She is
also much more likely to feel the cold
9 in winter, and to be sensitive to
draughts. ‘
She is far more quickly tired and
knocked up than if she were a degree
or so plumperfiand is far more easily
upset by worry, over-excitement and
late hours. If you want to grow stout,
you must lay down very hard fast rules
as to diet, exercise, etc., and allow
nothing to interfere with your carrying
them out. In this way, and in this
only, will be attained the Object that
you have in view. '
' T5 beginwith, you must make up
your “mind that you will cease to worry
over anything, be it big or little. Never
mind-what happens, you must make up
your mind to bear it with philosophy
and not let it bother you. Then you
must also never hurry over your work
or over your play, but do things gently
and in ah unhurried manner.
You should rise rather late, and if
youshould wake early, lie quietlyI in
your darkened room and make 5113 at:
tempttoget up, and be dressed in
plenty of‘time for breakfast, so as to
have a‘good appetite for it.
For breakfast itself, you should drink
coffee or cocoa with boiled milk in it,
and with plenty of sugar. Eat bread
in, preference to toast, and with plenty
Ofbutter. Eggs, fish, meat or game
should be taken, and, if liked, always
begin with well-cOoked porridge and
fresh or boiled cream poured over it.
Jam and marmalade can be eaten,
and you should eat slowly and as much
as you care to take. At 11 o’clock
have a cup of milk, with a sweet bis—
cuit or a slice Of cake, and at lunch
time you can eat soup, fish, meat, sweet
pudding, stewed fruit, bread and but-
ter, and all kinds of milk pud-
dings. ' .
White bread is to be preferred to
brown, and home-made bread is much
more fattening than either French or
‘English fancy bread. Eat and drink
slowly, and restafter your meal for
half an hour or more before you be-
gin to do anything else. Make a point
of never running oflf directly your
meals are finished.
Dinner should have much the same
menu as lunch. Soups are better made
rather thick, and the fish shoul¢ be
belied rather than fried. Poultry and
meat are better than game, and you
shouldeat plenty of vegetables especial-
ly all kinds of root vegetables, such as
carrots, turnips, parsnips, etc.
You should have your sleeping room
well aired, but do not sleep under too
many bed-clothes, as this is weakening,
and the good done in the daytime will
be-iost through overheating at night.
During the daytime dress in warm,
though light clothes, as, though you
‘ must not be too heavily clad, you must
avoid a chill, as colds and coughs are
very thinning, and not at all conducive
to making flesh. You must, of course,
1'. take proper exercise, but this should
1’ be such as to involve no very great
l fatigue. '
- You should walk daily, but your
walks must‘ not be too long or too far,
that the great secret for getting stout
is to live a placid, quiet, (rather dull
life for a time, eating and sleeping
constantly, and never being in a hurry.

' THE PIONEER OF THE KLONDIKE
Mr. J osepthadue, who was summon-
; ed to Washington recently for a con-
_, ference. with the Secretary of War re-
' garding the means Of furnishing relief
to Dawson City miners, has solda large
number Of his choice lots in Dawson
City, some of his best placer claims,
"‘3 and a magnificent quartz mine, besides
his rich timber limit, including a saw-
mill which is earning $1350 a day net
to the Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and
Development Company of Yukon. The
directors of this company are among
the most conservat ve‘ and prominent
men in the, financial circles of New
York. Those who are interested in
' the Klondike should read the notice of
‘ the new company printed in th's issue. 1
Win": Spies Are Caught.
Amy is a person sent into an ene-
my's camp to inspect his workshe-
,cert_ain his strength. and report on his
movements. By the laws of war
among civilized nations a spy is sub-
ject to capital punishment. A state
of war must exist before any person
can be executed as a spy, and he must,
in the first place, be caught inside the
enemy's lines. .‘ ,
To be treated as a spy it must be
shown that at the time Of capture
he was in dress other than the adopt-
ed military uniform of his country.
A Soldier caught within the enemy’s
lines wearing his rightful uniform can
only be held as a prisoner of war. .
Not every person passing secretly
through the enemy’s lines need'hleces-
sarily be a spy. _
When captured, it the prisoner car.
Show that his errand in getting
through was of a personal nature, he
can only be held as a. prisoner of war.
Trading with the enemy or igtemph
ing to enter‘his camp with letters 'of
a personal nature does not cbnstitute
spying.
To be treated as a. spy it must be
clearly shown that the object 01' the
accused person was to gain informa-
tion for the enemy which it would be
to their advantage to know.
Plpe Faces of Men.
The newest discovery in the “face”
line is the pipe face. which is grown
by men who smoke pipes.
The habit of smoking the pipe has
a perceptible effectupon the face. The
pressure of the lips to hold the pipe
in position increases the curvature of
the lips around the stem, and the
muscles become more rigid here than
in other parts.
Thus, the lips at a certain point he-
come stronger and the pipe is uncon-
sciously held in the same habitual po-
sition.
After long continuation of the habit
small circular wrinkles form parallel
with the curvature of the lips round
the stem.
These are crossed by finer lines cauS-
ed by the pressure of the lips to retain
the pipe-in position. In case Of old
men who have smoked a pipe for
years the effect upon the lips is very
marked. ~ _ ‘
