The Circus.

The circus has come and zone and it is
very questionable whether they got any
the best of the town or not, as the hard
rain on Monday morning kept most
country people from coming in. No
doubt many small boys looked upon
that rain as the sadest event Of their
lives, while their fathers enjoyed it with
a satisfaction incomprehensible to them.
Nothing puts new life into a boy like a
circus, and to have all his hopes and eN-
pectations crushed out by a rain is
really too bad, but boys we are really
glad you did not get to come, that is we
would rather have the rain than the cir
Gus. The performance was pretty good
or was at least up to the average, and
the street parade was above the aver
age for this country. There was no
evening performance by reason OF the
bad weather and before the sun was
down the circus was on the cars ready
for pulling out.

HOME HINTS.

NEVER allow left over coffee or tea to
stand in tin.
To MAKE whites Of eggs beat quickly,
put in a small pinch of salt.
KEEP all preserves, %jellies and canned
fruits in a cool, dark and dry place.
USE a cloth to wash the potatoes for
baking; it will save your hands.
A TABLESPOONFUL of kerosene added
to the starch when boiling prevents it
from sticking to the irons and leaves no
odor.
In order to remove a glass stopper
from a bottle heat the neck nv holding
over it a lighted match, or by pouring
hot water over it.
1T is well to boil the molasses to- be
used for gingerbread, or at least heat
it very hot before beating up the cake,
and it will be greatly improved.
WAsHteapots thoroughly with strong
soda and water, and then rinse well
and dry perfectly each day to prevent
the curious haylike smell often noticed
in a teapot.
TACK little rolls of cotton batting,
covered with a dark cloth, under the
rear ends of the rockers Of the chair
that makes a practice of tipping
over."
Do 0 attempt to extinguish the
flames of blazing oil with water: it will
only make them worse. Pour corn meal
or flour quickly over them, or throw
over a rug or anything handy that will
exclude the air.

A Little Scrap

On Monday while the circus parade
was passing down the street, certain
parties who had more gall than sense.
threw some kind OF fluid on the horses
riden by the circus people which caused
the animals to kick and pitch till they
dumped their riders. A number OF by
ISLANDERS asked the parties to deslst
from such conduct, which seemed to
only add to their cussedness. Bod BOYD
at last asked them in a eentlemanly like
manner to stop, when Jud Pelter, one
OF the offending parties, turned round
and began cursing and calling him vile
names. Bob took it for a short time,
but finally landed his fist in Pelters face
and walked on him a few times. PETERS
friends sent him away for repairs which
ended the rumpus.

that she does not look year younger.

wrinkles may be the most obvious
thing about it. but they are not the
main thing. What makes any one
look old is, first. the change, the de-

face. the falling of the cheeks, the
heaviness or the scragginess of the
throat, the setting of the flesh about
the mouth. The pain that is given in
removing wrinkles increases all this.
