Her life will grow completer;

the progress made since their arrival at

an unusually brilliant and expert horse

at drill at the Orchard Lake Military

Hair Powder.

Hair-powder was first introduced
into England by ballad-sihgers at the
fair Of st, Germaine in the year 1914,
and it was long before it became
adopted as a fashionable ornament.
In the beginning of the reign Of
George the First only two ladies Of
rank wore powder in their hair, and
they were laughed at for their singu-
larity; and at the coronation Of
George the Second, there were only
two hair-dressers in London. The
rapidity with which dressing the hair
and wearing powder increased is
evident from the calculation made
by Pitt, in 1895, when he proposed
the hair-powder tax, 1t was then
estimated that there were in Great
Britain 80, 900 hair-dressers; that the
flour they consumed annually in hair
powder was of the value of S10,000,-
900, and the number of persons wear
ing it amounted to 200, 900; so that,
supposing a tax of one guinea a head
were laid on, it would yield over ST.
100000 per annum. The amount,
however, fell far short of this sum,
and constantly decreased In the
first year of the tax, 1895, it only
produced $3.50, 900, and in 1903 it had
sunk to $780, 900.

good rooms can be obtained should it
be necessary. This house has the
conyenienCes that are usually to be
had in the country; the bay window
is a nice feature. In fact, it is a
model home for the farmer, and a
splendid house for the amount Of
money expended, viz, 81, 400, for ev-
erything complete except cellar
walls, which were built by owner
with stone on the ground.
In looking over this design, it
will seem hard to believe the fact
that we had great difficulty in per-
suading the farmer not to alter the
exterior design. He wanted a fatter
roof and box cornice; in fact, house
just after the same idea as others in
his locality. We asked him to inves-
tigate and see for himself how houses
were being built, and see what they
looked like; and we requested him to
examine a house recently built, no
larger than his, which cost nearly
$4,000, which in some respects was
treated similar to his, After he had

The Cheapest Route.

In his younger days Henry Labou-
chere, when attached to the British
Embassy at Rome, received instruc-
tions to make inquiries about Flor
ence or some distant place. He wrote
for expenses, but they were not al
lowed. However, Mr.. Labouchere
started. Nothing was heard of him
for weeks. Eventually, in reply to
many dispatches sent out to ask how
he was getting on, letter arrived:
"As expenses are not allowed, Mr..
Labouchere is obliged to walk. He
expects to reach his destination by
the end of the year..

examined and studied the work that
was being done, he was convinced
that he was wrong.
Having occasion to see this house a
few days ago, we oh erved that it
had been painted entirely different
from what we had specified it to be.
The prevailing color was white, with
dark trimming, chamfercd work in
gables, etc, being white; and, in
fact, the whole effect was spoiled.
The colors specified were: for clap
boards, light sage; corner-boards,
bands, etc, buff; chamfers and cut
work, black; but were entirely dis
regarded. That is what we call con-

No Profit in Retailing Sugars.

Grocers everywhere ASSERT that there
is little or no profit in retailing sugars,
and hOusekeepers confirm this by say
ing that there is small economy in buy
ing sugar by the keg. The tradition
touching the small profit in handling
sugars at retail is certainly more than
100 years old, for a writer in the mid
die of the last century affirmed that
London grocers of that day were often
cut $50 or $40 a year for paper and
pack thread used in wrapping up sug-
ar, and some grocers would not sell
sugar to a customer who did not at the
same time purchase some other article

York at this timeto sell far below reg

DIRECTIONS FOR PACKING AND
SHIPPING EGGS. g..

Packing Be sure and have the two
divisions in each crate. Before putting
in eggs scatter some fine cut hay or
straw, bran, cotton seed bulls or oats
on bottom of crates or put in several
layers of paper. After putting in your
boxes of eggs fill in around sides and
on top with same packing 8 10 that the
boxes will not move about, but are
held perfectly steady. Let your eggs
in each box be fresh, clean, and of
same size and color as near as possible,
Put a slip, properly filled up, in each
box.
Shipping.-Order your crates, egg
boxes, stencil plates, printed postal
cards and box slips from this Office.
Not less than ten crates, holding 30
dozen each, should be ordered at once.
These, with egg boxes holding two
