Eyebrows and Exclusives,


1t is really wonderful to see how very
little attention is bestowed, as a rule,
on the eyebrows and the lashes. A
woman will worry herself thin and make
the lives of her household uncomfortable
if her hair is falling off, or she has a
pimple OH her chin, but she pays less
than no regard to the state of any other
enough lashes to protect the eyes, and
the eyebrows are thick enough to make
their presence known, she rests content
unaware, perhaps, that much of the at
Effectiveness of her face entirely depends
on these minor points that she seems to
despise.
Not everyone possesses that delicate,
high-arched curve that is the height of
perfection in an eyebrow, or the long
of fiction ever yet was complete AS a
rule, scantiness of hair characterizes the
one and short stubbiness the other, A
great deal of this unliveliness is owing
to the lack of care which nurses and
mothers take of their children's appear
ance, and the stupid habits they let a
child get into regarding them.
Eyebrows to be perfect should be
slightly arched, and the hair of the same
length and softness. 1t should not be
too bushy, or it makes us look unduly
fierce and masculine: or too scanty, so
that we look characterless and insipid.
The cloor should be Il shade darker than
the hair.
The brows must never be rubbed or
brushed, except from the roots to the
ends: Some people contract bad habit
way, and the effect is both grotesuue and
painful to behold. The hairs will never
after lie as fiat as they ought to do. and
bristle in unexpected places. A tiny
comb and brush should be used daily on
them to keep them soft and smooth.
They should be most carefully washed
every day, and the same care must be
taken about the direction they are rubbed
IN. They should have vaseline gently
week: This will keep them in perfect
health and serve to strengthen and thick
on them. Where they are very scanty
ana coming out verv much, there is
nothing better to use than few drops
of castor oil in a little paraffin.
they are sometimes apt to get little
scurfy. Where this is the case, vaseline
bathed with hot water and little SOAP
till it is cured. On 10 account must it be
rubbed.
Eyelashes should be long and curling,
and when they are like this, they are
most attractive and bewitching. 4
chlid,s lashes may be slightly clipned now
and then at the extreme points. and will
De longer and better in consequence. But
this should never be done when a pere
son grows, older, as the only effect it
has then is to make them coarse and
stubby.

Columbia River Thrice Named.

The Columbia river has had three
names. 1t was first called the Oregon.
Afterward it was called the Saint Ro-
que, but when it was discovered by Rob
ert Gray in 1892 it was given the name
of his vessel, the Columbia, in place of
the two floating appellations- Oregon
and Saint Rogue. According to Whitney,
the original name of the river was the
OREGON, big ear" or lone that has big
cars the allusion being to the custom
of the Indians who We're found in it's re-
gion of stretching their ears by boring
them and crowding them with orna-
ments.-Portland Oregonian,

Is Charity Worth While,

After all, what we want to do Won

so that to whomever there NAV como
need we can give help. The helm NAV
express itself in material things: it may
be i'll the sympathy of kindly words. or
it may be spoil ken only by the pressure of
the hand. There is no charity in having
your name on the list of generous givers
while some one near to you STAYS within
doors because her coat is shabby. or he
cause her clothing is not sufficiently
warm. There is no charity in the giving
OF much money if you have been harsh
and cruel to some one who deserved
your consideration. and have made that
one heart feel that there is nothing in
the world but bitterness. There is no
charity in your being willing to write
checks that represent much money when
you are quick to speak the unkind word,
or to show to those who are around YOU
a heart eaten up by pride and lips that
utter no words save those of scorn. All
ing unless your charity is like that which
was taught to the world nearly 1000
years ago. 1t meant that to feed the
hungry, take care of the sick. to forgive
the sinner. and to help always in the
hes best way, whoever asks for help was
Christ.s charity; That is the char

And if. of your little store there can only
be offered a few pence, you may be GER

Himself as greater than the many mil
lions given by those who are so unwise
as to think that charity means only the
giving of the least of all things-money

The Hated Carp.

''All of the line fishermen. as we'll as
the seine haulers of the Upper Poto
mae" observed Capt. james Barrett,
''cordially indorse every word that Fish
Commissioner Brice says in regard to
the damage done by the carp that the
government, by the fish commission,
forced into the Potomac. The carp may
be of some value in the ponds through
out Germany. where they were origin
ally raised, but there is no place for
them in this country. OF course, they
can be raised. and raised to any size,
but. as they are mud eaters, they are
no good after they are raised. for it is
only by filling them with pepper they
can be eaten at all. These carp have
nearly destroyed our bass, as well as all
other kinds of game fish. The people
out West saw years ago that the carp
were a dangerous invasion. and killed
them for fertilizers. They are tit for
nothing else "-Washington Star.
