School Dresses for G,rIs.

The head of a well-known school for
girls in speaking of appropriate school
dresses advised the use Of light weight
materials. Light garments Of serge
or cashmere should be worm" she said,
land clothes of extra warmth for out
doors. Children dressed too warmly
complain of the heat of the schoolroom
and ask to have windows opened, which
is impossible. White aprons for little
girls keep them always fresh and dainty.
II it be incuicated that u soiled apron or
hair ribbon shows lack of refinement,
they soon acquire habits of daintiness
in the care of their clothes One thing
1 should like to emphasize Is that 1t Is
unfortunate that children are obliged to
wear out clothes which were made for
best In the schoolroom. 1t would
seem to be much better to give them
away to poorer relatives and keep al
ways simple gowns for everyday wear"

The Tame Fox,

Southey's story is of tame fox at
Bridgewater which had been brought
up from a cub to run in the wheel as
turnspit. One day, however. his vaga-
bond instincts proved too much for him
and he determined to take holiday.
The fleshpots of his Egypt were as dust
and ashes to his palate compared with
the chickens of his own selection. I'm
fortunately he chose the hanting sea-
son for his excursion and soon came in
contact with his hereditary prosecutors.
He evidently determined to give them
good run, for he took them twice
through stream called Parrot, after a
grand Recommendations, which involved
a chase of nearly thirty miles; he made
his way back with hounds in full cry
and, reentering the kitchen, resumed
operations in the wheel with as much
unconcern as though he had never left
it. The fat cook. with whom he was a
great favorite, succeeded in beating the
hounds off until the arrival of the hunts
man, who humanely assisted in saving
a life which, il sagacity and ingenuity
be virtues. we'll deserved to be spared.

WOMAN AND HOME.
EYxs MADE LOVELY.

Various Ways to Beautify the WIN
dsws OF the sSaI.
Madame may change the hue and tag
ture of her hair and improve upon ma
ture In the matter of skin by . course
Of treatment. She may gradually do
velop beautiful arms or o shapely neck.
and she can call surgery TO her aid II the
shape of her nose does not happen to ae-
cord with her standard of beauty. But
she has always been baffled by her eyes.
There they are, green and narrow, may
be, brown and beady, perhaps, and she
has known that surgery could not
widen them or art change their hue.
But, after all, there are reforms which
may be undertaken with eyes and care
which may be given them which will at
least keep them from being hindrance
to madame's charms.
The appearance of the eyes depends
largely on the lids, eyebrows and eye
lashes. Scanty eyebrows may be
gradually filled out by the application
81 pure grease to them every night. The
eyebrows should not be rubbed OF
brushed the wrong way. Eyebrow
brushes should be used to apply the
grease. Pure vaseline, by the way, is
the best.
Taseline applied to the eyelashes
with great care will increase their
growth, and stroking them upward
gives them the curly tendency, which is
q charm to any eye. Children's eye
lashes may be very slightly clipped at
the ends occasionally, and will grow
longer and better in consequence; but
a grown-up person should on no &C
count tamper in this way with the
lashes, as 1t only makes them grow
coarse and stubbly. Even when cut
ting children's eyelashes the very great
est care should be exercised and only
the very tips should be clipped.
Infiamed eyelids may be washed in
rose water. When the eyes feel irrita-
bic, or there is prickly sensation, they
may be bathed in elderfower water.
The following recipe makes q soothing
and refreshing wash for tired eyes:
Take a quart of soft water, a pinch Of
coarse salt, and tablespoonful of
brandy. Mix all well together and
shake the bottle before using the mix
ture. The best time for bathing the
eyes is in the evening.
Beds should always be placed SO that
the daylight and SUMS rays do not
strike the eyes on waking. The light
should come from the side. It 10 also
well to have green or dark blue blinds in
bedrooms, which will effectually pre-
vent the bright light from entering the
room early in the morning.
The eyes should be closed once in
every two or three hours for Ave or ten
minutes. This rests them and helps
to preserve their luster. A good diges-
ton is another aid to beautiful eyes.

THROUGH SIX CENTURIES,

Long Feud Between Tive Families
Brought to a Close Amid Mirth.
1t is seldom in this workaday age
that one encounters a genuine family
feud, inherited from sire to son through
no less than six centuries. Such feud
actually existed in the dominions of
Queen Victoria until a short time ago,
and its final settlement was brought
about by the righteousness of boy of
nine.
The two leading Anglo-Irish families
in Ireland have long been the Fitz-Ger-
aids and the Buffers. From being COM
rades in arms Of the invading strong
bow they became by degrees rival
harons and fierce contestants for the
vice sovereignty Of their adopted coun-
try. In the wars of the roses the But.
lers sided with the white rose Of Ian
caster, the Fitz-Geralds with the red
rose of York. Factions gathered around
In the two great houses, and the bitter
feud brought forth death and bloodshed
from as early as 1850 down to the Will
liamite wars. The Buffers, whose chief
had obtained the dignity of earl of
Ormonde, succeeded in crushing tho
power of the elder branch Of the Fitz-
Geralds, earls Of Desmond. It Is told of
warlike Desmond that while being
borne prisoner on the locked shields of
his feudal foes clansmeu the Buffers
tainted him with the bitter words:
where is now the proud Fitz-Ger.
ald?'
To which the indomitable carl an
swered:
"Fitz-Gerald is where he ought to be
on the necks Of the Buffers"
This proud reply will give an idea OF
the intensity of the strife.
Now, it happened that her majesty's
Irish viceroy gave a garden party at the
viceregal lodge at Dublin, and thither
were hidden by accident the marquis Of
Ormonde, head of the Butler family
familiar to the Americans through his
yachting interests), and the little duke
Of Leinster, boyish chieftain Of the
house of Fitz-Gerald. With the duke,
who was not quite eight years of age,
came his widowed mother, one of the
beautiful Duncombe sisters.
The duchess of Leinster lost sight of
her son for a space, and, in going to
look for the lad, found him engaged in
earnest conversation with tall, elderly
gentleman, in whom she was surprised
to recognize the marquis of Ormonde
What was her horror when, on ap-
preaching nearer, she distinctly heard
the youthful Geraldine remark in some
what slangy phrase:
swell, I suppose I ought to punch
your head on account of the feud; but
say, you know, you're too jolly decent
a chap for that. Can't we shake hands
and call it square?"
With the utmost gravity Lord Or
monde grasped the small hand Of his
hereditary foe, and when the amused
mother came to congratulate them on
the happy settlement of 600 years of
bitterness she found the young hopeful
perched, like his famous ancestor, ON
the neck of the Butler.-Atlanta Con-

SIMPLE HEALTH HINTS.

Hygienfc Facts with Which Every

A simple hygienic fact for many pee-
fruit is no part of the fruit itself,
diedcally considered. The bloom OF
the peach is a luxuriant growth of mi
crobes, and unwashed grapes, eaten
skins and all, will show 100000 mi
crobes for each fluid ounce OF stomaef,
fluid. These facts are proof positive
Of the necessity for thoroughly washing
al raw fruit before it is eaten.
Tho nape of the neck, the lower part
Of tho back of the head, the front Of tho
abdomen and the shins are the chief
regions Of the body susceptible to cold.
A chill, however, may be carried to the
nervous system from other parts.
The following rules for avoiding a
cold cannot be too often formulated:
Never let cold air blow on the back Of
tho neck or head.
Keep the abdomen warmly clad.
Cover the shins when riding.
Change wet shoes and stockings with
out delay.
Never sit on stone or on damp grass.
1t is not generally known that roasted
coffee acts as a valuable disinfectant.
The best mode is to dry the raw bean,

powder on q moderately heated iron
plate until it is of dark brown tint.

The First Railroad in America.

Gridley Bryant, q civil engineer, in
1926, projected the first railroad in the
United States. It was built for the pur-
pose of carrying granite from the quar-
ries of Quincy, Mass, to the nearest
tidewater. It's length was four miles,
including branches, and its fret cost
$4,000. The sleepers were Of stone and
were laid across the track eight feet
apart. Upon rails of wood, six inches
thick, wrought-iron plates, three inches
wide and quarter of an inch thick,
were spiked. At the crossings stone
rails were used, and as the wooden
rails became unserviceable they were
replaced by others of stone.-Ladies'

Francis H. Pierpont, who was gov
ernor of Virginia all through the war
and the reconstruction period, but who
likes best, and can rightfully claim, the
title of Father of West Virginia" is
still alive, and ut his home in Fair
mont, Marion county, in the newer
state, he often tells the story Of how
$4,000 square miles of the Old Domin-
ions 10000 were saved for the union
and from the confederacy. The ex-
governor is now 80 years old, his hair
is white, his face pallid, and his step
uncertain, but his health is good for
a man of his age, and his mental facul-
ties are unimpaired. He never fails to
resent with energy any expression he
hears or sees Of the very general belief
that there was anything irregular and
of doubtful legality in the division of
Virginia and the erection of it's west
ern section into separate state. he
shows that in the years 1868, while at
Wheeling he directed the proceedings
which ended in the numbering of West
Virginia among the sisterhood of states,
he was the governor of Virginia, and
that after the new state had come into
existence he was equipped with duly
elected officers of every rank, he re-
maioed the governor of Virginia, with
headquarters at Alexandria, simply be-
cause Richmond was in the hands Of the
enemy. John Letcher's right to the title
of the governor, received, of course, no
recognition from the federal authori-
ties. After the war was over Gov. Pier
pont was reelected and served until 1868
so that he has the peculiar distinction of
having been chief magistrate OF one
state in three caDitals.-N. Y. Times.

AN ELECTRIC FURNACE.
Boston Scientist Claims to Have
Solved a Great Problem.
n His idea Proves Practical the Cost of
an Electric Light Plant Would BE
just One Fourth of What
1t 10 at Present.

To produce electricity as the direct
result of the consumption of carbon,
without the intervention OF dynamo,
Is problem at present occupying the
attention OF many electrical engineers.
When 1T is known that the best results
pbtainable in producing the electric
current by the employment of the most
improved type Of engine operating
triple-expansion steam dynamo, is not
above II or IS per cent, under the most
favorable circumstances, IL is not
strange that inventors are looking for
vastly greater results with more direct
methods. The great losses that occur
at every stage in the indirect CONVEX
sion of carbon energy into electrical
energy naturally suggest the question
as to why not get the current direct
from such consumption without the in
termediate steps. The theoretical adj
vantages have long been appreciated,
and at the present time the practical
attainment of them in high degree
seems not impossible.
For many years it has been known
that current Of electricity could be
produced by burning carbon in contact
with an electrolyte capable Of sup
plying 1t with oxygen, and while vari-
pus apparatus has been constructed
on this principle, from which feeble
current was obtained, a true carbon
consuming electric furnace, showing
an efficiency of IS per cent, has now
been constructed by DR.. W. W. Jacques,
Of Boston. AS such an efficiency is
greatly in excess of that exhibited by
any previous apparatus the Importance
of this invention is at once apparent.
DIR. Jacques began his Investigations
five or six years ago, and prosecuted a
series of experiments which demon
strated the practicability of his electric
fu1nac The invention is based on the
discovery that If oxygen, whether pure
