new PoStmaster-General The Boston
Globe declares that the mail facilities of
that city are very inadequate and fall
below those given to cities of less popula-

adds, these troubles can be remedied if
the Postoffice Department will give this

Telephone, now an indispen sable business

PRIMARY elections are about to be held
in this city by the Republican party.
Another opportunity is thus afforded mem
bers of the party to do duty. 1t will be
determined by the result whether they
are disposed to take charge of matters and
send representative, Embossed men up to
the Convention, or to remain at home and
let the machine run things" Whatever
the result, the membership of the party
and thereby is meant every individual in
twill be responsible. OF that response
bility it is impossible for the Republican
to divest himself. 1t is as easy for the fair
dealing, unpledged and boss-free men o.
the party to control the primaries on Sat
urday as it is to breathe. They have but
to express their will in favor of cleanli
ness and against rings, cliques and bossism
by casting ballots for delegates who are
fairly representative. If they do not dc
this, there will be no one to blame if boss.

by the mud baths, which are a novel

mud, made by mixing prairie loan with
the hot mineral water. The nose, mouth,
eyes and ears are left uncovered. He is

coating is scraped off. A shower hath OF

The starry of n Werewolf.

A noble gentleman Of Brittany. In high
favor with the king, married a lovely
lady. There would have been no limit TO
their happiness but that three days u of
every week the gentleman mysteriously
disappeared. When pressed by his wife
for an explanation he confessed that he
was n Bisclaveret or werewolf, and for
three days in the week was condemned to
assume a VOLTS shape, The lady was
sore troubled and determined To rid her
self of so Objectionable a husband. Learn
ing that if the lords clothes were stolen
after the metamorphosis was effected he
could not resume his human shape. she
and a false cavalier VINO loved her
watched him and got possession of the
castoff garments. AS from that day the
husband was 40 more seen she married
the cavalier.
One day the king was out hunting
when a wolf that had been sore pressed
by the hounds made its way 10 him and
looked Mt him with so pitiful and human
an expression that the kings heart wa
touched. He spared it and brought it
home TO his court. The animal proved
gentle and tractable and became a great
favorite. But one day when the false
cavalier came TO court it jumped upon
him with a wild cry and bit him severely.
And when some days later the wife
claimed an audience with the king the
wolf flew at her, too, and bit off her
nose. Swords were drawn and the wolf
would have been killed, but that a wise
man counseled the prince to find out first
what could be the reason Of the VOLTS
grudge TO the lady and her husband.
And. being threatened with imprison-
ment, the lady, terrified, confessed all
she knew, and when the clothes of her
former husband were given to the wolf
he was transformed into human shape
and the king rejoiced to recognize his old
favorite. The guilty pair were igno-
miniously banished. They lived several
years and had many children, all the
girls being born without noses. -Ameri-

The Beginning Of Steel Pens.

The earliest notice of steel pens that |
have met with is by Wordsworth. In
1906 he and his family were occupying
the house at Coleorten during the absence
Of Sir George and Lady Beaumont. and
in the month of December the poet wrote
TO the latter what he calls 1.-THE longest
letter | ever wrote in my life. " and with

by DIR. Kitchiner IN 1924, when speaking
OF a friend above 60 he says. This

them until he has finished writing To
this there Is appended a note: 80 those
who find the mending OF pens rather a
difficult job ] recommend the occasional
use Of a steel pen, especially when they
wish to write very small and neatly.

Plain Lectures on Health.


IL the women's colleges would add to
their course Of study o series Of very
plain lectures on the care of health, it
would be worth any amount Of Anglo
Saxon literature on political economy.
Nothing would make a school more popu-
lar than to supplement such lectures with
strict personal care Of the habits of each
pupil. 1t would become a ''beauty
school" in the full sense of the word, as
celebrated for sending out young ladies'
with brilliant compilations as Harvard
for its athletics. And why is it not as
necessary for young ladies to have their
faces chased as to have their manners
and their grammar corrected? Now, the
most high minded and fastidious of Lady
Sylvias has a slender body, which works
over daily not less than seven pounds of
food and drink, or ought to, and throws
nj no less than five pounds Of waste by
its great ducts, the bowels and kidneys,
and its millions of needle ducts in the
skin. Really this is very terrible for dis
cussion, and | warmly agree with her
majesty Victoria in thinking stomachs
entirely unfit for mention TO ears polite.
But thousands of women are losing
beauty and dying of painful disease for
want Of knowing the full significance of
heir internal economy and the care they
owe it.-Shirley Dare.

Painting the Baby's Face.

A letter from Paris informs us that the
doctors are again at war with silly
mothers belonging TO the fashionable cir
-les. The latest fanaticism of La Mode
is to apply the horrors Of face painting TO
little children. In the public gardens
babies Of 3 years old may now be seen
whose eyebrows have been BACKED or
dyed by their senseless mothers. Other
anxious parents, distressed at the vul-
carly ruddy and rustic hue Of their chill
lren's checks. carefully powder them
before sending them forth TO meet the
gaze and criticism Of the world. Little
soquettes Of 10 years are o permitted
10 go abroad until the regulation black
stroke has been painted beneath their
eyes. The doctors warn the mothers
that when the children thus ~barbarously
treated reach the age of 10 they will
have a colorless and ruined complexion.
to say nothing Of the injury TO health,
which is al argument less likely to pro-
duce much effect. Pail Mall Gazette.

The Dog and the Dear

Before the hunt was over had a
chance TO try him on bear, and haVwas
the best hear dog of his size ! have ever
been oul with. His hunting weight was
about forty pounds; but at times be
weighed five pounds less. When an able
bodied bear has been thoroughly fright
ened and has made up his mind L leave
the country rather than climb n tree, il
takes q pretty smart dog to stop him until
the hunter can catch up for a shot,
but Pete would often do it, Not
always, though. For the bear has
a shrewd way of dragging his
enemy through the worst possible
tangles OF brier and laurel brake or
knocking HIM loose against fallen timber,
rocks, etc. But his most effective ruse
is to drag the dog into a tangle of under
growth and then throw himself over
with a sudden back flop, reaching out
and striking savagely with his fore paws;
or. to reverse the operation, he will sud
denly drop his los between his forelegs
and change ends, which draws the dog
over and within reach of his claws; and
it is a wise and wary dog that escapes all
these tricks. Whence 1t sometimes hap
pens that Pete was left on the trail so
utterly beaten and exhausted that he bad
TO be helped into the camp, This, how.
ever, was rarely the case.
The bear, when suddenly attacked and
sharply bitten, would usually take the
nearest large tree he came TO, where,
with GOODNESS and skill, he could be easily
approached and shot. If only a slight
wound were inflicted he was apt to come
down with a heavy thump, gather him
self up and commence TO emigrate In
dead earnest; in which it took a good
''bear team TO stop him, and Pete was a
team by himself. ! have known him to
seize a bear by the ham and hang his
hold. with legs stiflly braced, until he
was dragged more than 100 yards at a
stretch. He had a very creditable score
on bear scalps, as | subsequently learned,
though we only got after three bear
while he was with me, two Of which got
away. These two were wary old pig
thieves who knew all about dogs and
would sooner die than be freed. In each
case they wore the dog out and left him
on the trail in a half days run while the
hunter, with his best efforts, could not
get neal enough for a shot. Forest and
