Woman and Her Hairpin.

The natural instrument which nature
furnishes to all women for aggressive
and defensive purposes must be of steel,
and as pliable as the caprice of its sweet
and tickle owner These conditions full
filed, more Protean qualities belong to
it than to an ideal umbrella of which /

gency be transformed to pair of stock

Where is the woman who, dressing
in desperate hurry, has not been saved
by its friendly use from the ignominy of
unbuttoned boots, while the lordly male
creature can only stand still and swear
or call wildly for Lucy or Susan to find
his shoe buttoner. The beautiful en-
press of Austria has been known to but
ton her gloves with hairpin-a priv
ilege of which even royalty does not de-
prive her.
A Welsh rarebit or a marsh mallow
toasted on hairpin in boarding school
dormitory with fear and trembling has
a gnsto which would tempt the jaded
appetite of Roman emperor. Then
there are diabolical uses for this same
small marvel-to pick locks of Other
peoples writing desks, or to jab into
offenders in crowd. There was an
Italian marchesa who, kneeing behind
her hated rival, murdered her by stick
ing her sharp, silver hairpin into her. -

She Supports the Family.

Score one for the advanced woman. :"
Score one against the theory that mar
riage results in disaster because daugh-
ters have no dowries or wives are ex-
pensive luxuries- One particular adj
vanced woman whom I know lives in
Brooklyn, and is correspondent for one
of the city journals. She has a cosey
little house, which she keeps tidy and
homehke with the aid of q single ser
want. She has two children, whose sew
ing she does herself, to whom she is a
loving and devoted mother. But at the
same time she keeps up the interest and
advances money on the mortgage which
yet rests on the little home, settles the
bills of the ssbutcher, the baker and the
candlestick maker" pays for her own
bonnets and for the winters coal-in
short, runs the entire establishment her
self.
And why? Simply because she insists
upon her husbands putting the entire
amount of his salary into the bank to
educate the children or in case of future
need. The husbands salary is fixed, and
she is thus sure of saving a certain
amount each month. Her own varies,
and she makes the expenses of the fam
lily vary accordingly The children have
cheaper shoes or they go without new
carpets if her stuff is cut or returned
with thanks. New York Sun.

Two Remarkable women.

Within the past week two old women
whose infancy was spent upon the banks
of the Yough, while the country round
about was vast wilderness, have died.
The first, Grandmother Grim, who
was born in Saltlick township, in 1908,
when that township embraced one
fourth of the total area of Fayette coun-
ty, died at the home of her daughter in
Vanderbilt. Her remains were inferred
from the Mount Olive Brethren church,
at Detwilers Mill. The old lady was
the mother of eleven children. At the
time of her death she had fifty six grand
children, one hundred great-grandchil-
dren and thirty-two great-great-grand-
children, making family living at the
time of her death of 1876 persons. The
Buttermore, Ridenour and Grim fami-
lies are the descendants comprising this
large family. Mrs Grim was the widow
of John Grim, who died ten years ago.
Her sole surviving sister is Mrs. Mary
Buttermore, widow of John Buttermore.
The second woman whose death is
noted was Mrs. Sarah Rush, of Browns
vile. She was the daughter of James
Frey, the first regularly installed pastor
of the Connellsville Baptist church, and
was born in Connellsville in 1903. She
was the mother of four children-two
sons and two daughters. The daughters
are Mrs. DR.. Brashear, of New Haven,
and Mrs. Shedrick Holt, lately of Sharps-
vile, but now of New Haven. She had
been member of the Baptist church for
sixty-seven years.
The combined ages of these two reached
174 years, aud their death removes the
oldest representatives of the pioneers of
Connellsville. Both funeral sermons
were preached by Rev. R. G. Morgan, of
Connellsville -Connellsville Courier.

She Wore Plunpers.

"Never hear of plumpers~ asked a
lady friend of mine the other day.
'sNo," said I. "What new feminine
device is. this, for goodness salzey'
"Well," she replied 1--WE were calling
at the time at the house of mutual
friend), "just you notice Miss when
she comes down stairs, and tell me if you
notice anything strange or remarkable
in her appearance.
The Miss - referred to, be it said,
is tall and somewhat angular young
woman of uncertain age, but who is
possessed of considerable degree of per-
sonal vanity and more than ordinary
desire to appear at her best upon any
and all occasions.
In few moments she appeared, and
after greeting us cordially we entered
into general conversation. Nothing
very remarkable about her, thought I.
"Well," said to my Lady friend, after
our departure. 81 have scanned Miss
- pretty closely, but failed to notice
anything worth commenting upon in
her appearance. She talked as if she
had something in her mouth
I WAS interrupted at this point by a
peal of laughter.
"Why, what-on earth are you laugh
ing at?" said l. Sand, by the way" !
asked, "did it not strike you that Miss
- is growing somewhat stouter? Her
face seems to be somewhat plumper"
"There," interrupted my friend, s.now
you have it. Miss - had splumpers
in her mouth" To my look of inquiry
and astonishment she responded:
ttPlu1npers, you see, are small round
shaped affairs like dolls saucer. They
are made of rubber, and when held in
place in the mouth they cause wom-
ans cheek to become plump and round
When ladies have lost some of their
teeth plumpers come into play; prevents
their jaws from appearing lantern shaped
or their features from being angular"

will the feminine mind conceive of

How Colds Are Cured in Alaska

Some of the readers OF the HERALD
may wish to know how colds are cured
in the frozen regions OF the north. If
so, the following extract from recent
letter OF G. Z. Coon, a druggist in Ju-
neau. Alaska, will interest them. He
says: "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is selling better than ever. 1t is harder
to get into the boxes than to sell the
Remedy after they are opened" Mr..
Coon's sales were rather light for the
first year he handled this medicine, but
have increased each year as the people
there become better acquainted with it's
valuable properties, until it is now the
most popular medicine he handles for
coughs and colds. which shows that real
merit is as much appreciated in the far
north as at home, and in time the best
is sure to become the most popular. For

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
MEMORY AND AGE.

Memory is a good test of age,
declares DR.. B. ". Richardson.
Failure of memory of recent work
and revival of past recollections and
symphathies afford certain evidence
that the mind is aging. There
probably is q physiological reason
for these phenomena. In early life
certain centers of the brain are filed
with impressions and images which
have become fixed and for a time
quiescent The sleep. Other parts
of the brain are charged with new
impressions, provoking the physical
body into new and continued actions
and constituting the current life of
the individual. But as time goes on
these new centers wear out, and the
activity of those receiving the earlier
impressions revives. The point to
be made is practical and medal.
"Whenever a patient who has passes
the. fiftles, OF is well into them, re-
ports that current memory is fading
and past memory is reviving, and
when he reports also that his sym
pathies are running with his memor

is always ample unchanged surface
to work upon even late in life, and
