Massage Is Good for Both Fat and Thin Necks and Also Persistence in Gymnastic Exercises. * It is all a matter of work, this of beautifying the neck. A throat that is flabby cannot be made firm without work, and hard work at that, nor can a thin one be built out any more easily; the point to be dwelt upon is that the desired result can be achieved. With what is Dow known of physical training, massage and skin foods, it is not only possible, but absolutely sure that the neck can be brought to lovely curves if.a proper effort is made—ex- cepting, of course, in such cases as those of some disease, which lays waste beyond any physician's power to check, or one which causes am abnormal growth of adipose, The same exercises work both ways in the treatment of the neck, just as they do in the treatment of other parts of the ‘body. As a prominent physical trainer puts it; “It is all a matter of pace.” By this he means that if the exercises are taken at a rapid pace so that they are tiring, they will burn away superfluous fiesh; if they are taken slowly and never to a point where they fatigue, they will cause the build- ing of mew tissues, So, whether the throat and neck be too fat or too thin, you may take these exercises; but remember that you must take them easily in the latter case, strenuously in the former. There is no question that the high collars worn for so many years have done much injury to the necks of the wearers. It is a commonly accepted fact that they have caused darkening of the skin and ugly lines about the throat. Furthermore, they have im- peded the natural motions of the neck. Women have been holding their necks stiffly, and the natural exercise that belongs to everyday living and is per- fectly unconscious has not been al- lowed to the neck. For want of it, the double chin has gained strength and the scrawny neck has grown scrawnier, Collars are lower than they were; better than this, they are softer. Wear the lowest and softest the styles will permit so as not to counteract the bene- fit of the exercises. Every morning and night and between times if you can, go through these motions in your room: Firet—Throw the head back as far as you can. You will find a strain upon all the muscles of chin and throat, See that you do feel this strain—that the stretch is enough for that. Now, keep- ing the neck stretched all the time, turn the head slowly to the left and right. If you are working to reduce a double chin you must increase the rap- idity until you are working fast; !f you wish to fill out hollows, always move slowly. Next—Let the head drop forward until the chin rests upon the breast. Raise it to a normal position. Lower and raiee alternately, either slowly or rapidly, aecording to your special needs. Third—Throw the head back, return to normal position, continue in two counts, Fourth—Combine the last two move- ments; drop the chin forward, throw the head bark, and so on in two counts, BRST BLOOD PURIFIER. Experience Proves That Nothing Is Better for Health and Beauty Than Pure Air, The oxygen of the air is the best blood purifier in existence, writes Stella Stuart, in Madame. Oxygen is the body’s scavenger. It burns out all the refuse. Age and disease are not #0 much the accumulation of years as the aggregation of waste matter in the system. Oxygen is the “secret serv- fee” of the circulatory system which expels the vieious element It trans- forms the dark, venous blood into the brilliant, energizing scariet of the arteries, : If air were piped into mouses the same as gas, water and electricity and taxed accordingly, its poor quality and a lung bath. “The breath is the life.” great mass of humanity has yet to be taught to breathe.

A few years ago a scientific person im Massachusetts imported some caterpil- lars that interested him, and kept them in a bottle. But oneday the bottle tipped over and some of the caterpillars escaped into the scientist's garden, and pres- ently stocked it with gypsy moths. To catch them and their descendants the Bay state has since spent about $1,000,- 000 of public money. They have cost it many millions dollars besides in dam- ages. The old method of fighting them was to find and destroy the cocoons. The State finally gave that up, much to the regret of many of its citizens. The bugs have since increased very much, and carried destruction into the woods. It is now proposed to fight these pests in the latest fashion, by breeding parasites which will attack them. That method is recommended by Mr. Koebele, of Alar meda, Cal., who tried it successfully in that state for white scale. The Massa- chusetts Forestry association favors the experiment, which will not cost much, and Mr. Koebele will doubtless be in- vited to bring his parasites to Massa- chusetts and sick them on. The whole country is concerned in this experiment, because a Massachusetts congressman has invited congress to declare the gypsy moth a national enemy and to appro priate $250,000 to fight him. The parasite cure is a modern wonder and has beep effective in cases of great moment. Mr. Koebele says it will not wipe out the &ypsy moths, but will keep them down, The boll weevil may presently be re strained by the same methods. GUARDS TO PROTECT POPE, Vatican Authorities Fear That Owing to Democratic Habits of His Holy iness He Will Be Attacked, The recent arrest of a crank seek- ing audience with the pope has caused the greatest precautions to be adopted to insure the safety of Piux X. What renders the matter more difficult is the pope’s habit of promenading unacco: panied in halls to which every one can gain access by paying the price of ad- mission. have a bodyguard accompany the pope to prevent any person from approach- passing.

Fabric from Japan Woven Into Wed- ding Dresses of Quartette of Indiana Brides. Japan once furnished a single silk wrap that figured in no less than four wedding gowns, all of which have been preserved. The garment was a costly crepe shawl that was sent to the family of 8. B. Hynes, of Chicago, and became the property of Mrs, Hynes. It wassent, ‘nclosed in a beautiful case, by a friend of the family, the duty being $65. In the Hynes family were four daugh- age, and each wanted the Japanese shawl. Finally Mrs. Hynes, to settlethe matter, cut the garment into four parts, giving one to each of her daughters, Bach piece was deftly worked into the wedding gown of the bride to be, as the marriages took place several years apart. The delicate fabric was draped over the front part of the gowns, the crepe being solidly embroidered, alike on each side, with a heavy fringe. The youngest of the four daughters was married last fall, at Laporte, Ind., and the other sisters having preserved their wedding diesses, the four were photographed, each cos tume showing the style of the day in which it was made. The daughters are now the wives of Frank Pitner, Laporte, Ind., H. BE. Riggs, Toledo, 0.; Franklin Warner, New York, and P. 8. Elwell, Chicago. DEBT IS 118 YEARS OLD.

Ya emi, mae oe THE INDIAN MAID AND THE GALLANT LIEUTENANT. The Rescue and the Rescuer’s Polite- ness—An Unlooked-For Response —New England Girl Ap- pears on the Scene. Little Red-Rose, the young daughter of Lame-Dog, a Kiowa warrior, ven- tured alone one day to search for a horse that had strayed. While at- tempting to cross a neighboring Stream, a@ small detachment of cav- alry, returning from a scout in the Comanche country, suddenly made its appearance on the farther bank. The clatter of hanging sabers and booted carbines, as the horses were brought to a sudden halt at the edge of the stream, greatly frightened the animal ridden by the girl, and as it turned suddenly about in a spasmodic effort to escape, she was thrown from its back into the stream. Fearing that the girl might be drowned, an officer with the detach- ment quickly dismounted and plung- Ing into the stream, brought the wom- an safely to the shore. She seemed very thankful for the assistance given her, and employing the scant knowl- edge of the English language she had acquired at the agency school, ha- stened in broken speech to express her SHE WAS THROWN FROM ITS BACK INTO THE STREAM, gratitude. She possessed pleasing manners and ready speech, but the oc- casion was a trying one for her, and the charaeteristic self-possession of her race for the moment quite de- serted her. The officer, pitying her embarrassment, hastened in turn to assure her that what he had done was searcely worthy of consideration. Hoping to end the scene by a little act of gallantry, he seized her hand and raised it to his lips. Unfortunately, the act awakened an emotion in the breast of the maiden that the young man had not anticipated, and brought @ response he had not expected. The woman stood for a moment gazing earnestly at him, and then suddenly throwing herself into his arms, vio- lently é¢mbraced him. He was a chiv- alrous youngster, and thoughtless of possible consequences, returned the em- brace fervently, and ended it with a kiss upon the girl’s upturned lips. An awkward silence fell upon the pair aa they drew apart, broken at last by an exclamation from the girl. “When you come again?” she asked. “Pretty soon,” he replied, “if the Com. manches don’t behave themselves.” A week had scarcely elapsed after these events when the Indian girl and her father appeared one day at Fort Sill, ostensibly on a trading trip, but evidently to enable the “Rose” to see the leutenant again. It so happened that the young daughter of a prominent New England official was visiting at the fort at the time and anxiously awaiting the pos- sible visits of Indians from the ad- Joining reservations, that she might see and converse with them. She had acquired some very romantic impres- sions of the “red man” from fanciful tales of irresponsible writers, and “longed to participate for awhile in the wild, free life of the children of the forest and the plain.” The coming of Red-Rose, arrayed in barbaric fashion, wrapped in a highly- colored blanket, and displaying broad necklaces of beads and heavy wrist- lets of silver, quite filled the measure of expectation indulged in by the New England maiden. Quickly seeking the acquaintance of the Indian girl, she arranged to go with her for awhile to her home on the Kiowa reservation. On reaching the home of Red-Rose, much of the romance of the occasion was lost in the squalid conditions en- sountered by the visitor. The lodge consisted of a single room without a floor,‘and the light shone through many openings in the roof and the valls of the edifice. A number of vi- fous, wolf-like dogs nosed about among the cooking utensils, and drank at pleasure from the family water bucket. The girls spent the night in the lodge, lying close together on the floor wrapped in their biankets, and tor awhile conversed freely of their putposes in the future. The visitor hoped, she confided to the “Rose,” to be instrumental in effecting many re- forms among the “lords of the plains,” and fn turn the “Rose” confessed that she expected soon to become the wife of the Heutenant who had rescued her { drowning.
