MolIY's Rules for Her Doll.

! !. Rise at every morning, and pretend
to have your face washed.
2. Do not attempt to dress yourself be-
cause you can't. II you could you
wouldn't be a doll.
3. At breakfast keep perfectly quiet in
your chair. and II anybody asks you to
have some more of anything do not an
swer unless yon are squeezed upon your
chest. when you can, as usual, say
Mamma"
4. In pretending to eat be careful not
to get any bread and butter upon your
lips or cheeks, because 1t might spoil
their color.
s. Never battle In real water and when
you are making believe to cry do not
shed any tears. because your face is
only wax, and tears would be very bad
for II.
6. Remember that little dolls should be
seen and not heard. There is nothing
more unbecoming than the act of wax
doll trying TO join in conversation with
live people.
I. Never play With little boys or little
dogs. because little boys and little dogs
are the natural enemies Of little dolls.
s. Do not close your eyes when you are
sitting up or keep them open when lying
down. If you did any Of these things the
doll doctor would have to be called In
to take your head of so as to see what
was the matter with you.
O. II anybody should ask you for n lock
Of your hair do not give it for two rea-
sons. In the first place your hair isn't
hair. and in the second place even II IL
were IT would never grow again where
YOU cut it off, because the top or your
head is plaster. and hair doesn't grow
we'll in plaster.
10 ALWAYS look amiable. Even II some
body should cut hole in your arm ana
let all the sawdust out Of 1t; do not lose
your smile. because II you do lose your
smile YOU lose your whole mouth.
II. DO not fall off OF high places just
because you have no feelings to be hurt
by hitting the floor. Remember that
&C. easier for a dolls mamma TO get
,yhoIe new doll than to have new nose
put on an old one. ~
70 Don't forget that l love you better
than any other doll l ever had.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
di!ion OF the mucous lining of the Gus

imperfect hearing, and when II Is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken out

Greg's History AgaIn.
FOr The Times.)


Why all this confusion. to me Is a mystery,
About Greg the Englishman's much talked
Of history.
There have been letters from Dabney-a let.
ter from Cuss0ns,
And Upland has written US letters by
dozens:
And new Mr.. Page has hung out his sign
He must think that people are totally blind
And can't read the history themselves.
But then | agree with most all that he says,
For Greg has some harsh and some right
cutting ways
or handling our ancestors bold
We don't like to hear our great-grandfathers
called
"Old fools when they wouldn't consent to
be thralled
BY the English or any such folks
But cannot go back on my good friend. The
Times.
In making these hurried and imperfect
rhymes.
And so. Mr.. Editor l echo your prayer
That Mr.. Greg's History sOcn will be where
They are studying the yankees yarns" now

their right to vote in the state. The

The Miners Ianu.

In many respects tho miners electric
handlamp meets tho requirements of
mining work infinitely better than the
old safety lamp, but it has radical
fault, which must be overcome if it is
to be kept in use. The thrush of mine
gas to the working galleries is often SO
sudden that the miner has no idea of its
presence, and the only means he has of
discovering it is the combustion that
goes on within the netting of his safety
lamp. AS a matter of fact, an electric
lamp will give splendid light while
its too confiding owner is being smoth-
cred. What is wanted is an electric
lamp fitted with an appliance that will
automatically give warning of the pres
ence of either black damp or fire damp
without tho making of any special OBJ
servation. Until this is done the use of
the electric lamp in mines will be at
tended with anything but safety. -Chi-
