ARRANGING HER TREssEs.

To suit long, narrow face, the hair
should be dressed round, and it is al
ways best to show coil or so from the
side behind the ears 4; also endeavor to
fill up the nape OF the neck rs much as
possible.
For sharp featured face, always
avoid dressing the hair right at the
top of the back Of the crown in n line
with the nose, rs this so accentuates
the severe outlines. Dress the hair
low down or else quite on the crown
top TO meet the fringe.
For round face, narrow dressings
are becoming, and can be taken well
down the neck.
For broad face, narrow dressings
are preferable, but they should be
kept somewhat high.
Exceedingly tall people should keep
the hair dressed rather low and de-
cidedly round.
Very short ladies can have their hair
dressed high, as it gives addition to
their stature.
1t is very rarely we find purely
white hair; it is more generally gray
white, or greenish-gray, and with this
latter no colors are so suitable as dark
greens. browns, ambers, purple tints,
deep cream, dark reds and warm
shades of dark-blue. Chicago Record.

LADY OF THE CABINET.

Mrs. Gary, the wife of the new Post
master General, is the mother of seven
daughters and one son, and comes of
an old Baltimore family. She believes
in happy, attractive home, and has
trained her daughters to be most ac-
complished entertainers. The entire
family is musical, and delightful
home concert can be arranged on
short notice. Mrs. Gary is now a
member of the Presbyterian church,
but she used to be Catholic. She is
said to have charming manners and a
strong personality. New Orleans

CRoWs AND ROCKS.

The United States Departm ent of
Agriculture, in recent report, brings
forward in his (the crow's) favor
evidence of the clearest and most con-
vincing kind. The stomachs of q
thousand crows were carefully ex-
amined, with the simple result that
more insects and spiders were found
than any other kind of food in all the
months but January and February.
During May and June five hundred
and thirty were as carefully analyZed,
and full half OF all the contents was
proved to consist entirely of insects,
the majority being among the farmers
worst foes-locusts, May beetles,
weevils, wire-worms, and the grubs OF
the cockchafer (Melolontha) and Harry
Long legs (Tipulal, which the rook
does his best to exterminate. Add to
this goodly number of field mice
and moles, and towards winter few
stray grains of waste wheat from the
stubble or the farmyard, and the list
is complete.
If this much be admitted on behalf
of the crow, far more Justly may it be

portion of whose time is spent on the
wing, or at hard work in the ploughed
field or meadow, busily destroying the
very enemies which defy mans utmost
skill to reach. Taken as a whole,
therefore, the character of the Corvus
is worthy of much respect. Slow and
deliberate in the choice OF home or
friend, he never hurries and seldom
makes mistakes; if now and then bit
of thief, he wages continual war
against many pests that we are we'll

NEARING DEATH.
The Serious Condition of the Empress
of Austria.

of Austria.
Empress Elizabeth of Austria has
been so seriously i'll at Cape Martin
that her husband, who proposed to re-
main at Vienna until the trouble in
connection with Crete was at an end,
FASTENED his departure, and proceed
ed with all haste to the South of
France, where the Empress is being
attended by her youngest an, favor
ite daughter, the Archduchess Valerie.
The Empress was unable to meet her
husband on his arrival, and has been
forced TO abandon all those long walks
to which she has been given ever since
the doctors compel ID her to give up
riding. .'
1t seems that the imperial lady, in
stead of being benefited by her sojourn
at Diarritz in December and January,
on the contrary was harmed thereby.
Painting fits, insomnia, neuralgia and
rheumatism, complicated with other
painful nervous disorders, cnsued, and
the principal court physician, DR.. Won
Kerzl, having been urgently summon
ed from Vienna, Immediately gave or
ders that she should leave Biarritz for
the south of France.
At present the Empress is an invalid
in every sense of the word. almost en-
tirely intirm, and it is doubtful If she
ever will be able to resume the violent
exercise to which she has been devoted
until now. Indeed, 1t may be ques-
toned whether it is not really the over
doing OF exercise, first in the form of
riding, and later on in the way of
walking, that is responsible for her
present condition. AS long as she was
able to ride Elizabeth used to spend
her whole day in the saddle, begin
ming at ) or 6 o'clock in the morning,
and frequently changing horses four
and five times during the course of
single morning. When she took to
walking she would not be satisfied
with constitutionals of less than thirty
and even forty miles a day.
1t was always asserted that it was
by means of this violent exercise that
she was able to maintain unimpaired
the balance of her mind, instead of sue
cumbing to the insanity which Is one
of the hereditary curses of the royal
house Of Bavaria, to which she belongs
by birth. Some apprehension, there
fore, is felt at Vienna as to the possible
result of the inaction to which she Is
now constrained Sy reason of her
health.-Nienna Letter.

WHITE HOUSE GAYETY.

White House receptions IN the days
OF the Washingtons were more formid-
able affairs than they are now. Mrs.
Washington received from to 10 ON
Friday evenings, the affairs being
modelled on the drawing rooms then
known to the court of France. None
was permitted to attend, says an old
chronicle, except those who had high
social and diplomatic rank, and "full
dress was required of all who passed
the ordeal OF social inspection"
When Dolly Madison was wife of q
President, in 1915, she was described
as in the meridian of her life and
beanty. Radiant and vivacious, she
dispensed hospitality and exchanged
courtesies with unrivalled grace. She
looked and moved Queen. Her dress
on one occasion is described as of vel.
low velvet, with garniture of pearls, and
she wore an elaborate head dress of
feathers, ga Paris turban, with bird
of paradise plume" One of her char
acteristics was that she never forgot
face. 1t was the custom of the day
to take snuff, and the beautiful Mrs.
Madison acquired the habit by being
too polite to refuse the frequently
offered box. When she was given a
iewelled snuT-box for her own use she
was diplomatically familiar with its
service. There was no lack of social
splendor, and six horses were not con.
sidered too many in those days to
convey q President and his family
from one scene of festIvity to another.
There was much closer line drawn in
regard to rank than there is ut present.
The effect of social gathering was
made more brilliant than it is by The
dress of the men, who followed the
style of the court of France. Imagine
light-blue French coat with high
collar, broad lapels and large gilt
buttons; double breasted Mar.
seilles vest, rankeen-colored cashmere
breeches, with white silk stockings,
shining pumps and full lace rutfles on
the shirt bosom and wrists, with a
white cravat inflated with "pud-
ding" as it was called.

No class of people can so we'll afford
to have neat, inviting dooryard as
the farmer.
In the city, we can't have one foot
OF sod or load of dirt without pay
ing cash for it, while the farmer has
acres of it. If you want to improve
the yard, first examine closely and see
what is lacking. Ii the doorstone or
steps are crooked, crowbar and little
muscle will soon fixed that. 1t will
not cost many dollars to make wooden
walk to the front gate. Or perhaps
you have plenty of gravel. If so, don't
put that down until you have put a
thick layer of ashes to keep the grass
from growing. Ifyou can, put narrow
boards, four inches wide, to form an
edge to keep the grass from growing
into the walk.
Now find if there are any low places.
If SO, fill with rich soil. The quickest
way to have grass is to cut sod about
one foot square with your spade, leav-
ing three inches oil dirt on it. Where
you want to lay this, have the dirt
spaded and all stones removed, SO it
will root easily; pat down hard on the
sod with the spade and water freely
every day until it begins to grow.
Trim all trees and vines. If this is all
done thoroughly, you will have fine
yard. Don't make flower beds unless
some one has plenty of time to care
for them. But as fast us you can af-
ford, add shrubs and trees. Don't
stop this good work with the front
yard, but do the same in the side and
back. Where you want shade, plant
trees. II you live in a climate where
nut trees will grow, by all means have
them.
Choose some place where you can
have hammock, make some rustic
seats, and if you have small children,
furnish them with swing. Let them
have "picnic" some of the pleasant
days by taking what they were to have
at the table outdoors under some shady
tree. They will think 1t fine fun.
1t is the green-clad yard, with at.
tractive flowers, tree laden with fruit,
and garden of small fruits and vege-
tables, that makes the sons and daugh-
ters cling to home and parents

FREQUENT oHURN1SG BEST.

1t is harder work to make the best
butter from one-cow dairy, especially
late in the season, when the milk yield
lessons. The best butter is made with
least expense when the dairy is large
enough to require churning every
day. This makes great deal of hard
work. unless it impels the dairyman
to provide power of somo kind, so as
to relieve the hard labor. This it
generally does. Whenever the dairy
is large enough to require churning
every day, creamery or separator
will pay, not only by the saving of
labor, but by making more of the
cream than is possible by the old pro.
cess of hand skimming the milk.

FASHION NOTES.

A new use for chiffon has lust
cropped up. 1t is now made to serve
as lining to spangled tulles and lace
fouuces.
Glace kid gloves IN tan and brown
shades are used for street wear-two-
button length. The white are not
much worn IN the daytime. For even
ing wear both glace aud suede are
fashionable.
Crepe de chine is to be very much
worn this season, especially for even
ing dresses and in combination with
other materials, and there is a new
kind ribbed like poplin which is very
delicate and soft.
The ruling tendency in the present
mode of hair dressing is to make o
full soft puff all around the head. So
the hair is pushed forward and held in
place by long side combs circling in
shape to fit the head. Three and four
of these are used, and the effect is not
always becoming, especially when the
locks are not very abundant.
The old.time sunshade called the
''regal' is one of the revivals of the
season, and its special recommends
tion is the joint in the handle, which
allows the stick to fold up. r, If this

The French government has exiled
Qneen Ranalvalono OF Madagascar to
the Island OF Reunion. She is not
as fortunate as the large number of
exiled royalties who form society of
their own in Paris, but she is more
respectable than most of them.
The Queen, it is said by the Eng
lish correspondents, was passionately
devoted to her country and showed a
strong sense of justice in her public
duties. She was of excellent moral
character. One of her little weak.
nesses was love OF Worth dresses.
When the overwhelming French
army was advancing on the capital
she was reported as "wandering about
her apartments, unable to sleep, rare.
ly taking food and weeping bitterly,
but still determined on resistance. "
The few honest advisers of the Queen
knew well that to attempt stand in
the capital was futile, but none dared
tell her the truth or counsel her to
sue for terms. One afternoon before
the French arrived Her Majesty ad-
dressed the people from the palace
veranda, while the old cannon pre-
sented to the Queen by George ~.
fired at intervals. The scene as de-
scribed at the time by the Times cor
respondent was striking and pathetic
to the last degree.
She said: 81 am the descendant of
twelve kings. You have always de-
clared that you would defend the
kingdom they created. But we have
not done SO; have been betrayed by
my own people" Then she wept be-

playing with the combination lock on
the door of the "bull pen.'
That's pretty good lock-" said At.

Did you ever work any of these
kind of locks?" asked the deputy.
Atkinson smiled "That lock on n

said the deputy, at the same time open
ing the door. Atkinson did as he was
Didden, and at once commenced to en-
plain the mechanism of the lock.
well, let's see you try it." said the
deputy, becoming interested. Atkinson
hesltated for several minutes, saving
that he could not work" that combina-
ton because it did not have the same
backing as a safe lock. Deputy barry
insisted upon being shown how it was
done. Atkinson got down upon his
knees and went to work. He kneeled
as close to the lock as possible. and nut
MS tongue upon the metal ring around
the knob of the combination. Then he
slowly turned the knob of the combina-
ton. Deputy Barry watched him in
tently, and suddenly stopped Atkinson
IN his work. He had made the first
move in the combination correctly, and
the deputy thought this enough. At
klnson was willing to stop, and then
explained his work.
You perhaps know" said Atkinson
"that the nerves in the end of tn.
tongue are very delicate and sensitive.
wen, when the combination gets to the
right point, the minutest click is sent
at once to the brain. That's how we
know we are right"
The deputy was astounded. William
clark, the alleged murderer, was
standing near at the time. He seemed
to be perfectly familiar with Atkilr-
sons methods, and Immediately pro.
posed another and better method. He
said: 1T is much easier if you have a
darnlng, needle, place it on the tum-
blers and put the other end in hollow
tooth. If there is n nerve in the tooth
the hrst click, no matter how slight,
sends thrill through your head"
I'VE tried that scheme, too" said
Atkinson, "and have found it to be a
good one."-Cleveland Leader.

An old cat loves a sunny corner and long
nap, and this is natural and wise. The
genial warmth of the sun lulls to rest, and
few ailments. Soreness and stiffness come
upon us suddenly and put the machinery of
the body out Of gear. ST. Jacobs Oil goes
suddenly to work upon the trouble, and with
its warmth, like warmth to the old cat, it
lulls the pain to sleep, drives out the cold,
soitens the sttIened muscles, lubricates the
machinery, and in a short time puts the
whole body in good working order. Sore
ness and stiffness are not much to cure by
the use OF st. Jacobs Oil, but, if neglected,
they take the form OF rheumatism, which
