1T is this way: You know that I am

ing, just after dark, as I was coming
along thinking Of nothing in particular,
I was hit in the back by what seemed
to be locomotive, and knocked
spraying into the ditch. It was muddy
there, and when j had collected my
scattered senses was all covered with
dirt, and also very mad. / looked
around to see what hit me, thinking
that perhaps in my abstraction [ had
walked on to railway line some
where, and found a young man and
safety bicycle ON the pavement, all
tangled up. I was mad, as I said be-
fore, and, without stopping to think
what I did, I. took the young man by
the coat collar and kicked him off the
pavement. Then / jumped on the BIZ
cycle, stamped all the spokes out Of
the wheels, and generally disfgured
it,

one of the audience said:

Managing a Guest Chamber.

Managing u Guest Chamber.
One of the best hcusekeepers has
small but very pretty room set apart
fer this purpose She has covers Of
stifly starched muslin for the various
articles in the apartment. There Is
a fitted cover for the chandelier whirn
fastens to a little hook in the selling
and with long end is brought by q sin-
gle turn Of the hand around the pire
and the globes, and tied in a loop Uni
derneath. Another cover incloses the
entire dressing case; the washstand is
similarly provided for; and the bed
has {. muslin canopy that takes it i'll
from the top of the posts to the floor.
Some loose pieces of cloth are spread
over the carpet and pressed close to the
Dashboard. When an arrival is expect
ed all these covers are very carefully
lifted off that no particle Of dust may
fly from them, made into a parcel and
carried out. There is no necessity for
sweeping and nothing to dust; fifteen
minutes will do the entire arranging
for the room, and everything is ready.
After the guest has left, the room
is thoroughly put in order and every
hing is covered up. This is much bet
ter than the usual tearing out, moving
furniture and general overhauling that
most guest chambers require. The put
ting in order is done when there is
time and strength for it, and has not
to be crowded into a few hours be-
tween the notice of the coming guest
and the arrival. Nobody is tired with
such work, as it was done long ago.
This takes a little trouble; and a room
must specially be set apart; but wher-
ever this is possible it would be found
to pay in the saving of strength and the
wear and tear and worry of hasty pre-

The Meaning of Red Hair.

Scientists say that it means that there
Is a superabundance Of iron in the
blood. And the analyst says that it
is the matter that enters red hair that
imparts the vigor, the elasticity, the
great vitality, the overdowing, thor
oughly healthful animal life which runs
through the veins of the ruddy- haired,
and this strong sentient animal life
is what renders them more intense in
their emotions than their more languid
fellow creatures. Philosophers notice
it as a peculiar fact that red-haired
old maids are very rare.

Trim and smart looking was the lit
tie schooner Caleb Curtis as she drop
ped down the bay Of San Francisco,
recently bound for a cruise among the
islands of the South Pacific. The Cur
tbs, probably the smallest vessel which
has ever started on such a trip, was
once a pilot boat, and was wrecked
some months ago near San Francisco,
all her crew being drowned She was
brought to port by q passing tug and
was purchased for $4,000 by Mrs.
Brock, wife of man who had spent
years In the South sea islands. Mrs.
Brock had the Curtis reftted and de-
termined to go on a cruise herself, her
object, as given to an Examiner man,
being to benefit herself financially,
while at the same time taking the OPP
portunity of carefully studying human
nature in the South seas She expects
to return in about two years, and will
probably write a book about her ,ex-
periences. She is in command Of the
expedition, her husband acting as sail
ing master.
Between decks the none too commo-
dious but cozy quarters of the Curtis
have been converted into q Veritable
dollhouse Of compartments, shelves,
and lockers. The department to be
presided over by Mrs. Brock has been
separated from the main cabin by a
partition Of colored woods dividing off
a stateroom, which is in itself sleep
ing place, travelling room and business
office. There is trim desk, with it's
pigeonholes filed with important look
ing papers, and solid looking Titles
safe and the neatly constructed locker
for holding q portion of the schooner's
valuable cargo. The pleasure end of
the Caleb Curtis is situated further
forward. Carefully stored away in her
forward hold is fishing tackle, ammu-
milton, bottles in which to preserve
specimens of the marine life of the
island waters, and a quantity of read
Ing matter, including magazines and
the latest novels. Mrs. Brock is lover
Of nature and an ardent collector of
curios. She has already arranged an
elaborate programme for her spare
moments in the South seas. Mrs.
Brock is the owner of the Caleb Curtis,
and is the person who fitted out the
expedition. She has the distinction Of
being the only woman trader in the
world. The Curtis being vessel Of
small draught will be able to approach
closer to and visit many coral inlets
and islands that are not approachable
by larger vessels. At these Ravens
Mrs. Brock can easily spend much of
her time ashore, and at many of them
she will be the first white woman tn
set foot on their sands.

writes Maude G.. Murray: in an article
that will please all women, entitled
Education in Beauty's SCHOOL, in the
Ladies' Home journal. Now it is differ
ent. Dentistry has made great strides
within the last twenty years, and
we are the gamers. If the breath
should be offensive consult the dentist
and have the teeth put in order. If
the trouble seems to come from the
stomach take some simple corrective,
and if that fails to sweeten it look
for microbe growth in the mouth and
war against it increasingly. A few
drops Of any one of the many good
antiseptic tooth lotions added to a
half glass Of water used for rinsing the
mouth on retiring, will gradually os-
tracize these unwelcome dwellers.
Mothers should be impressed with the
Importance of caring for the children's
teeth from infancy. From the time
the first teeth make their appearance
they need constant care. Every morn
ing the mouth and little teeth should be
carefully washed with a soft sponge

If they begin to decay before the time
arrives when nature intends the first
ones to fall out, to be replaced by the
permanent set, they should be filed by
a dentist with white bone filling, or
some soft preparation, which will not
require much cutting to hold it in place.
