Don't "match" jewels; work for variety
of tone.
DON'T wear coral or turquoise with white
muslin if over 60.
Don't wear flashing gems if you arc a
poor conyersationalist.
Don't wear coral If sick looking and you
have nursing bottle" mouth.
Don't wear flashing gems If your hus-
band has wornout, hunted look.
Don't call one frivolous who wears
jewels; you may be hard and narrow.
Don't think you are too poor to wear
jewels. A 10 cent pin may show perfect
taste.
DON'T, if your lips are thin and your
soul poise mental one, wear faceted, hard,
cleaning gems.
Don't think you are too practical to
wear jewels; wear good practical jewel,
n clasp or button.
Don't wear emcralds unless you are of a
high type AS usually worn they are vul-
gar and assertive.-E Edmund Russell.

They had been there some time when
the old clock struck 2. The next minute
they were startled by their bedroom

Will, with face as long as fiddle.

father, what is the matter"
There's man in the house" said the
hopeful.
The father jumped out of bed, snatch
ed up the poker. the wife following suit
with the tongs, and they went down
stairs, followed by Will. The house was
searched. but no man was found.
where's the man" said the father.
WILL with twist of the few bristles
on his upper lip, Strengthened himself,
and pointing to his breast said:

In England we have been accustomed
to pay high prices at certain times for
drugs, such as quinine, cocaine and
others, but drug is used in New China
which in actual value far surpasses any
thing which has been known here.
The substance in question is called
ginseng and is the root of Aralia quin-
quefolia. 1t is so highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that it is sold at from 20 to $50 times its
weight in silver, sometimes for 500 times
that amount. Authorities state, how
ever, that it possesses no important
medicinal properties Next to China
the drug is produced in good quality in
Corea and is the principal article of ex-
port from Corea into China. SO much
is this the case that the COreans are loath
to part with any seeds of the plant lest
their practical monopoly in this root
should be invaded.
The wonder is that with such much
used commodity at such a price steps are
not taken to cultivate it in sufficient
quantity so as to adjust the balance be-
tween supply and demand. The reduc-
ton, for example, in the price OF quiz
nine was largely the result of increased
cultivation of the cinchona plant, and
the same may be said of cocaine in re-
spect to the cocoa plant.-Pearson's
Weekly.

more than thirty years ALLCoCK's Porous

the world, and the testimony is universal
as to their value as an external remedy for
pains of every kind in the back, chest and
side. Some people have learned the lesson
so we'll that they try to initiate them, and
the result is host of counterteits, all pre-

No. Royal explained, there was no
mistake The names were the same

he spoke, and read beneath the name of

bystanders, but during it Royals whole
mental position, and a good part of his
external circumstances, had been shifted.
