eighty years ago. By whom and when
the track was made Is an interesting

THE CHARM OF PLEASANTNESs
A Simple Recipe for Girls Who Want to
Become Attractive.

A Simple Recipe for Girls Who Want to
Become Attractive.
Every woman has an inherent longing
to be attractive, and If she has not, she
should have For what would this
chaos, doubt and strife of our daily war
fare become, were it not that sweet
woman interfuses into it her calming,
cheering influences?
And the natural tribute men paw to
woman's attractive qualities is admira-
ton. If a woman is incapable of ap-
preciating the homage of man, and
treats mans highest gift as though it
were vanity, she makes serious mis-
take
But how can girl best gain the love
and respect of others? This is an all
important query, and it is best answered
by concrete illustration drawn from
real life. Miss A is beautiful. Her
statuesque form and magnificent face
are always the same, with cold, dis
tant aspect which even her undoubted
beauty does not redeem from reprosch.
Miss Il. is neither so talented nor yet so
lovely, but she meets one heart to heart,
and her continued pleasantness has a
charm which draws around her de-
voted circle of appreciative friends She
is her fathers confdante, her mothers
Joy, the recipient of her brother Jacks
love trouble and sister Nellie's struggles
with French.
All, girls. The snowiest skin will
some day be sallow; the flush of youth
will disappear; the bright eye grow
dim, and the Merry limb be uncertain
and feeble. But this inward loneliness,
this beauty of the spirit, is born of
Heaven and knows no death The ten
der ministries of Miss B will creep into
any true heart sooner than Miss AS icy
beauty. Such woman in any home is
a glimpse of Gods sunshine Beauty
and genius are the gifts of Providence,
but good heart all can cultivate-N.

Pot-Grown strawberry Plant.

Seedsmcn have been a few years
supplying strawberry plants grown IN
pots that can be set out any time In
the summer almost, and make a full
crop the next year. The pot-grown
plants are grown from runners, the
sane as ordinary ones, only where a
runner starts a set, a flower pot two
inches in diameter Is sunk into the
earth and the set allowed to take root
in the soil with which the pot is fll-
ed. Plants grown in this manner can
b, taken up in the summer without
the least injury to them, and vii! not
even wilt down, and will produce al
most as freely as they would il left to
stand where they grew originally. If
one grows his plants this way the cost
is not great, as the pots can he got for
IS dollars a thousand, but seedsmcn
have a habit Of charging pretty stiff
prices for them on account of the ex-
ira work they require.

NOT RAGS, BUT WOOD.
The Mystery of Making Paper Explained
 by s Salesman.

The old copy-boolz line: ''Paper is made of rags" /" has become obsolete in fact, if not in use. Formerly all paper was made out of rags, worn-out clothing and the like, and when such material as straw was first introduced there was a general outcry. Now, however, com paratively little paper is made out of rags exclusively, a fact which is fortu- nate, as the quantity of paper now used is so great that there would not be enough worn-out clothing or shoddy to supply the demand. The strangeness of it is that while paper is being used for dozens of purposes formerly monop- olized by wood or even harder ma terial, such as car wheels, boxes, bar rels, tubs, pails and so forth, wood is rapidly driving other ingredients to the wall in the manu cture of nearly all the cheaper grades of paper. Wood pulp is made by a comparatively lengthy process, but by taking the mills to river banks where there is raw material and water power at hand it can be produced at less than half the price formerly charged. This, more than anything else, is the cause of the cheapness of grades of paper be- low the average quality, and also of the steady gravitation of the paper man. ufacturing business from east to west.

IN A FIELD OF FLAME.
A Mustang Saves the Life of a Settler
 During Forest Fire.

A Mustang Saves the Life of a Settler
 During a Forest Fire.
 An exciting race for life is reported from the mountains back of Santa Monica, says Los Angeles correspond ent, where a brush fire got under way and had been burning fierccly for a couple of days. A young settler named Wilson, who had built himself cabin in the mountains, was asleep when the flames reached his house, and was not awakened until the fire almost roasted him.
 When he reached the door he thought his last day had come, for the flames and dense smoke shotup on all sides for several hundred feet, and he could see no outlet.
 He had a tough little mustang. He placed wet blanket over the animals head and body, and the bronco dashed into the flames, and for quarter of mile Wilson, more dead than alive, ex- pected his horse to drop dead every step. But the mustang kept his pace, and dashed into the clear space ahead of tAe cracking flames Wilson thought he was safe, and attempted to slow the mustang up, but the horse understood the situation better than his master, and, in spite of Wilson's efforts, dashed on.
 It was we'll that he did, for in few minutes the fire bounded across the cleared spot and was close on the heels of the horse. Wilson was terribly burned about the head and face. The mustang was also badly burned.

BRIAN BORU PLAYED IT.
Story of the Irish Harp and Some Famous
 Players.

Players.
 Of course the harp is the first of Irish instruments, and was brought to Ire, land by the first Milesian princes, about 1000 B. c. It came originally from Thebes, where several pictures of it have been discovered. One, painted on a sepulcher wall, shows it's extreme length to have been six feet and half, and number of strings thirteen. In another panel is seen one with only ten strings.
 These belong to the age of Sesostris, the tenth century before the Christian era. Old Thcbes had been destroyed, but soon after rebuilt and adorned by Sesostris, between the reign of Menes and the first war of the Shepherds, about four thousand years before the Trojan war.
 The ancient Irish harp was invariably strung with metal wires that would tax the fingers of modern players rather severely. A story apropos to them is told by Rochsa, the famous Italian harpist. Asked to play upon the Brian Boroimhe harp in Dublin, he consented, but after he had finished, looking at his bruised fingers, he remarlled:
 'You Irish say that Brian had an arm of iron. 1 believe it, and am quite sure he had fingers of steel"
 The most ancient harp in existence is now at Trinity college, Dublin. It is said to have belonged to Brian Bo' roimhe, king of Ireland, who was slain in battle with the Danes at Clontarf, near Dublin, A. D. 1O14. It is thirty two inches high, and has only one row of Sff.ircS

WOMEN WHO SMOKE.

They Number in Their Ranks Many of
 Europe's BIue-BIOOded Princesses.
 Those who rave with unceasing bit. terness against women who smoke and who declare the habit to be ill-bred and fast, have no idea of the women they are conforming, says a Philadelphia Telegraph's London letter. People with such old-fashioned prejudices have usually old-fashioned feelings on the subject of the reverence due to crowned heads, and would pause before uttering their scathing condcmnations were they aware that the ''pernicious and disgust ing habit was one in which the major ity of queens in Europe indulge. The expresses Of Russia and Austria, the queen of Italy and the queen regent of Spain, as well as their majesties Of Portugal, Roumania and SerN n and the countess of Paris, are all ardent lovers of tobacco, of which they are also thoroughly good judges. Perhaps the most inveterate smoker among the royal ladies is the empress of Austria, who consumes from thirty to forty cig arettes day. She keeps her tobacco in an eXquisitely chased silver box, which, together with gold ash-tray, is always to be seen on her writing table. Her imperial majesty of Russia and Queen Marguerite of Italy only smoke in the privacy of their own bou- doirs. That of the empress of Russia is a most fascinating apartment, which makes really ideal snolzing-rOom.
 It is fitted up in the style Of one of the lovehest rooms at the Alhambra, palm trees giving it quite a tropical ap- pearance. while tempting lounges invite that repose which is such a delightful adjunct to the fragrant weed. The countess of Paris will look at no tobac- co which has not grown in the sunny climate of Havana, and while the queen regent of Spain gives her vote in favor of Egyptian cigarettes, and the queen of Rouman;a declares in favor of Tur- key, Queen Natalie, of Servia, has store of tobacco from each country, of which she is careful to get only the very best. believe the cigarette cases car ried by some of these ladies are verita- ble dreams of beauty, being usually of gold inlaid with precious stones. Turn ing to our own country, it would take too long to mention the names of the well-known feminine votaries of the weed, and it is not even necessary to repeat that they are some of the high est in the land. A very large propor- ton of our ''blue" women smoke, and many of them even smoke cigars as strong as those affected by the sterner sex
