PLASTER CASTS.
One Need Not he a Great Artist to b
Able to Take Mask.

One Need Not he a Great Artist TO BE
Able to Take Mask.
Making a plaster cast Of the hand is
a simple and easy process, and one
which requires only care and a little
patience to attain perfect result.
The hand or other object to be castts
thoroughly creased. Vaseline is the
best for this purpose, as it is little
gummy and sticks well. Plaster Of paris
is mixed to batter consistency and n
little color added (indigo will do), the
object laid in position and the batter
poured over it and allowed to harden.
When the matrix or mold is set the
hand is wriggled out, plain white plas-
ter batter poured in, after the mold has
been thoroughly CREASED, and when this
white filling is hardened the mold is
broken away, the difference in color as
sisting one to see what must come off.
As to the manner of making casts:
Do not take hand fiat ana stiff. Grease
n cloth, push it up into graceful folds,
lay the hand upon it in an easy posi-
ton, disposing the fabric under any
bent knuclxle so that there will be as
LITTLE as possible Oh Whau uhe OaiNels
call "under cutting" which would
make the mold hard to get off.
Casts, however, need not be limited
to hands. A daring amateur may at
tempt life mask if she can find a cour-
ageous subject willing to submit to her
experiments.
In this case the eyebrows and lashes
must be thoroughly CREASED, as well as
the skin of the face, and the hair COW
cred, so that no plaster can possibly reach
and adhere to it.
The subject is laid upon her back, O
couple Of goose quilts fixed in the nos
trils for her to breathe through, and she
is told to relax her features to calm
expression and keep perfectly still unit
the mold hardens.
These casts have to be finished ant
touched up little after they are takei
with sharp knife or chisel, and an.
roughness there may be smoothed ava,
with fine sandpaper. Then, mounted oi
a square Of dark red or old blue plush
they are handsome wall ornaments, a

Tbe 1ndustrlous yellow Hammer.

William r. O'Neill Of the Pacific
vinegar factory noticed a yellow hammer
industriously at work one day ON tho
siding of the factory building. Mr..
O'Neill watched the bird for some time,
and inside Of an hour it had cut a
round hole two or three inches in di-
ameter through the inch planking. Mr..
O'Neill is not q mean man and If the
bird cared TO make its home in his vine
gar factory-why, it was all right. Next
day, however, he noticed that the yell
low hammer was engaged on another
hole. "It's for a back door, " thought
the owner of the building. But after it
had finished the back door it cheerfully
went to work on the other holes, prob
ably for windows BY the time there
were 10 holes in the side Of the factory
Mr.. O'Neill concluded that the yellow
hammer was taking liberties with his
property. So he obtained permission
from the chief of police to shoot It. For
a whole day the Office boy and Mr..
O'Neill's brother banged away without
feazing the little bird, and it was final
ly necessary to employ an expert marks
man to bring it down. The marksman
charged 90 cents for his services, and
Mr. O'Neill also lost the best part Of a
day mailing boards over the holes in the

He Sold IT.
The Rev. Francis Winter was ma
tive Of Boston and a graduate Of Har-
ward college. He went to Bath early in
1907, and after preaching on probation
for the Orthodox church was invited to
settle, which invitation he accepted. He
was ordained in the autumn Of the same
year. He went to Bath on horseback in
company with Lemuel Standish. Mr.
Winter came from Boston, where he
had associated with such eminent men
as Adams, Otis and Warren, himself
becoming an ardent patriot, taking the
lead in the Revolutionary measures
adopted in Bath during that memorable
period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail AL
den in 176S, and it is through her that

back to the puritan Maiden Of Plym-

Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden

THE THRONE OF THUNDER.
It Is the Highest Point on the Western
Side of Africa

Mungo Nam Lobeh, the throne, or
place, of thunder, as the natives call it,
the peak Of Kameruns as the whites
call it, is the highest point on the west
ern side Of the African continent
The first view the voyager gets Of it,
who, coming from the northward, has
been coasting for weeks along low
shores and up the stagnant rivers
fringed with mangrove swamp, is a
thing no man can ever forget. Sudden
ly, right up out Of the sea, the great
mountain rises to its l3, 760 feet while
close at hand, to westward, towers the
lovely island mass of Fernando Pc to its
10, 100 feet, and great as is its first charm
every time you see it it becomes greater,
although it is never the same. Five
times have been in the beautiful bay
at its foot and have never seen it twice
alike. Sometimes it is wreathed with
indigo black tornado clouds, sometimes
crested with snow, sometimes standing
out hard and clear as though mado of
metal, and sometimes softly gorgeous,
with green, gold, purple and pink vapors
tinted by the sunset
There are only two distinct noun
tains, or peaks, to this glorious thing
that geologists brutally call ian intru-
sive mass'-Big Kamerun and Little
Kamerun. The latter, Mungo Nah
| Etindah, has not yet been scaled, though
it is only $500 feet. One reason fol-
this doubtless is that people desirous oi

PIN HISTORY.
The Useful Articles Were Known In Earl,
Times to Egyptians.

Times to Egyptians.
Pins are, as the saying goes, as old as
the hills. In some form or another they
have been in existence over since our
first parents clothed themselves in fig
leaves, which grew wild in the garden
Of Eden. As matter Of fact, pins claim
a very high antiquity, the earliest form
being the natural thorn. which is still
used to some extent by the peasant
women Of upper Egypt. In prehistoric
times pins were also made of the small
bones of fish and animals.
Among the remains Of the lake dwell
ers of Europe have been found bronze
pins and bronze brooches, in which the
pins form the prominent feature many
of which are highly ornamental and
very beautiful. A few copper and one
iron pin have also been found. 1t is es-
timated that 10, 600 pins have been col
/ lected at the lacustrine station Of Swift
/ Zerland alone A few of these have dou-
bic stems md were probably used as
| hairpins. There have been found at
Peschiore pins which are exactly the
same ii form as the safety pins Of the
present time. Among the single stem
pins are many ingenious devices for
preventing the spike from passing en-
tirely through the cloth or other ma
terial it is used for fastening together.
Many Of them are so formed that they
are thicker in some places than in 9TH
ers. A large number, both Of bone and
bronze, had the head formed Of a loose
ring passed through an eye in the pin.
A few Of them have the appearance of
the scarfpin now in use. In Egypt pins
with gold heads have been discovered,
while in ancient Rome bronze pins and
bone hairpins with ornamental heads
have been discovered among relics Of
Pompeii. Philadelphia Press.

CARE OF BEDS AND BEDDING.
A Few shrewd Observations on an Every
day Topic.

A Few Shrewd Observations on an Every
day Topic.
There is a vast difference in the way
different housekeepers manage and care
for their beds. Some Of them fully be-
lieve in the fresh air theory and during
pleasant weather, as soon as their toilet
is made, up go the bedroom windows
and the pillows are laid upon the sill
for an airing; the bedclothing, if not
removed and thrown on a chair. is
turned down over the foot Of the bed.
If a feather bed is used, that is also well
shaken up and left until the bed is
again made up, sometimes in the fore
noon. This management is in strong
contrast to the usual plan Of never
touching a slept in bed until il is again
prepared for the sleeper, yet in the item
of health there is perhaps no discerniblo
difference.
The children living in homes Of
squalor and wretchedness, whose bed
ding is perhaps not changed once q
month, are quite as healthy and cheer
full as those who sleep in bed linen
changed daily. The Chinaman who
sleeps ON his pillow Of wood is quite as
strong and usually less nervous than
the "Mellican man" who rests his head
upon downy pillows. However, this is
no excuse why beds should not receive
proper care and a thorough airing fre-
quently, if not daily. 1t is certainly a
matter of habit, and the daughters usu-
ally in this line follow the practice in
culcated by their mothers.
Bedclothes that are stored away
should be aired several times each year,
as moths and the carpet bug win raise
sad havoc with them if not properly at
tended TO- Camphor gum or fine tobacco
scattered between each fold will keel
out the former, but cannot be depended
upon as a panacea for the carpet bug
If mice are known to be about the prem
ises, traps should be properly baited anC
placed near their haunts, as at nesting
time they will riddle bedding to mak'
a soft nest. A close fitting chest o.
trunk makes the safest storing place fo
all unused clothing, bedding, etc.
large plain trunk can usually be pur
chased for a small sum, and will pa.
its cost every year in the safety Of it
contents. s.-Germantown Telegraph.

Those who lead a sedentary life find
the circulation feeblest about the nose,
lips and temples, and those parts Of the
face should be energetically kneaded
several times a day. When the pores
become distended, the fine, invisible
dust in the air enters and clogs and
blackens them. Mere ordinary face
washing, even when warm water and
soap are used, is not sufficient to remove
the dirt in the pores, but the vigorous
acid of the lemon will cleanse and carry
off all such unsightly blemishes.
