Bruno Cortrim, born in Africa, and
now living in Rio Janeiro. He is $50

years are found in mild climates than
in the higher latitudes. According to the

why Mike stopped Drinking.

Mike Bryan is now highly respected and
well-to-do farmer in Western community,
but he has not always been SO highly re-
spected or so well-to-do. In times past
Mike, as he is familiarly called, spent his
spare money in the saloons. The story OF
his reformation is given In the words Of an
old neighbor and friend:
Eyes, Mike drank q good deal in them
days, and treated more than he drank.
When old Judge Henry came back from tho
legislator, we made up purse and bought
him handsome gold watch TO show him
our 'preciation.
"That night, in the saloon, one OF the
boys said that Mike ought to have n new
gold watch, too; for II he hadn't gone to the
legislator he had raised the first sack of
oats in the county, and raising oats for
folks to eat was much better than making
laws for them to quarrel over.
Then somebody said that he would sub
scribe ten dollars. Mike was that pleased
that he called all the boys up for q drink,
and threw down a twenty:
"Some one else subscribed another ten,
and Mike treated again. throwing down an
other twenty. He had Just sold his crop
and had nothing but twenties in his pocket.
! OF course he never got a cent Of change
| back, nor wanted any, he was feeling SO
! pleased
"Well, they kept on subscribing, and Mike
| kept on treating, until he had spent over
three hundred dollars. The boys went and
woke the jeweler up that very night and
| bought the watch. Mike went to bed as
| proud as a peacock.
"But the next morning, when he camo to
take good look at his watch, he found that
| II was only an old brass thing, worth about
two dollars and half. Mike walked
straight out to the rlver-bank and threw II
into the water. Since then he has never
been inside a saloon. 1t was the luckiesi
three hundred he ever spent"

In these days of electricity it is not
essential to have somebody turn out
the lights. Time switches are made,
says the New York Sun, which can be
attached to a clock and made to turn
out electric lights at any desired hour.
Suppose, for instance, the lights are
in a show window, and it is desired to
put them out at midnight. At that
hour the clock closes a circuit, per-
mitting the passing of an electric cur
rent to the switch, which thus released,
cuts off the electric light current and
so puts out the lights.

origin of Canning.

The process of preserving ailments
in tin had its origin at Nancy, France.
In 1s41 Joseph Colin of that town es-
tablished an agency in London for the
sale of timed delicacies. Their cost,
compared to that of to-day, reveals
what has been accomplished in cheap
ening these products during the past
fifty-six years. In 1941 a quart Of
turtle soup in tin put up by Colin cost
1915; small box of sardines, $1.25
an entire trufied salmon, S15; beef
tongue, 80; Toulouse duck, truffled,
50. Vegetables were proportionally
dear. Colin evidently carried his
system much further than is attempted
at the present day, He sold in tin al
entire sucking pig, for which h'
charged S12.50; an entire turkey fol
$3.50; six pounds Of roast lamb foi
S4.25, and an entire pheasant fol
$3.50. He also preserved butter il
tin, for which he asked 70 cents q
pound.

Fashion Notes.

Jackets are trimmed on the edge and
up the seams. Braided vests in white,
green and tan cloth, as we'll as bril-
liant scarlet, will be worn.
Odd effects, combining features of
fancy short-skirted jacket bodice and
slashed bolero, appear upon the
newest gowns for autumn wear.
The overskirt continues to put in
claims for favor this season, and models
pointed in effect and quite as long as
the underskirt before they are draped
appear among approved fashions for
the fall and winter
While princesse dresses do not seem
to come into general use, there are al
ways orders for them from many of
the very best dressed women. No
dress is as becoming to fine figure as
one cut in princesse shape, especially
at the sides and back. There is
style and finish about such. costumes
that is rarely obtained by any other
model.
Gold and pearl galloon are fashiona-
BILE and fine beadwork of all kinds is a
favorite decoration. The choicest jet
and the most exquisite fancy beads are
layishly used on all dressy wear. There
is promise of revival of all of the old
time beads from cut jet to the wooden
ones that were for time popular, but
which went out of sight as quickly as
they came into favor.
A princesse dress of velvet is most
attractive model. The body and skirt
are entirely without trimming, save
that there is a wide box plait of the
velvet from the waist line to the hem
of the skirt in front. This also ex'
tends up the front of the waist to the
square neck and is fastened with gold
buttons. The neck is filled in Will
rich lace in shirrings and from the
shoulder seam to the top Of the plai
at one side is a jabot of lace. Th'
sleeves are full at the tops and close
fitting below, with frills of lace at til,
wrists.

A Necklace of Live Turtles.

The fair Partisan is just now in the
throes of craze which far outdoes the
fad for the wearing of brilliant living
South American beetles as ornaments.
She is wearing all manner of curious
insects and reptiles in place of jewels.
"a pretty woman appeared at a gar
den party some days ago." writes a
correspondent of Vogue, sporting a
necklace composed entirely of diminu-
tive live turtles, whose poor little
shells were enwrapped half way up
toward the head in mesh of tiny dia-
monds and who bobbed their poor lit
tie heads from side to side in emphatic
protest against such misplaced luxury.
A very wealthy Russian lady carries
coiled up in the masses of her soft
blonde hair a large green lizard,
which, when she sits at the piano
for she is a great musician and the
lizard a great lover Of music-crawls
out of his dainty nest among her
tresses and gently takes up a good
point of vantage on her forearm, wink
ing his bright little eyes and waggine
his emerald -hued tail. The other day
at Auteuil at the beginning of the
races, great sensation was caused by
a rumor that lady of extreme beauty
and elegance had just arrived and tina
she was actually wearing in lieu of {
corsage bouquet an exceedingly small
and silky marmoset, hanging from {
huge bow of azure-tinted ribbon tieC
beneath his armpits."

Water Drinking.

Apropos OF water drinking a medical
writer says that the average person
should drink from two to four quarts of
water each day. The system requires to
be cleansed and its organs flooded with
water. Besides its cleansing efficacy,
water absorbs effete matter and carries II
through the system. The purer the water
the greater the power OF absorption.
Some diseases of the kidneys have been
known to yield to generous drinking OF
pure spring water. Beer t0nics or alcoholic
drinks cannot take the place of pure
water. In many cases kidney and liver
troubles have been traced to the use OF
beer OF alcoholic drinks. 1t has been as
certained by medical experts that rheuma-
tism, local heart trouble, Indigestion, pain
ney disorders are caused mainly by general
or local impeded circulation. The best
tonic and blood purifier is natures OWL
medium-pure spring water.

Earning Money at College.


Girls are learning to work their way
through college just like men, making
sacrifices and exercising the strictest
economy in order to meet the neces-
sary college expenses. This article is
not meant for the fashionable set
which had its Representatives in every
college, but for the great middle class
of girls who, when they enter the little
college world, find that there are many
things they want, but they don't like
to ask their fathers to pay for them.
Many girl who would live right here
in Louisiana to attend the II. Sophie
Newcomb Memorial College and fulfill
the desire of her young life by thor
ough education, might profit by the
manner in which some of the girls at
Northern colleges work their way
through.
Some of the ways in which these
girls earn or save money is quite in
teresting. A college girl out East
conceived the happy idea of shampoo
ing the heads Of her fellow students at
less price than was charged by the
professionals in the town. Now girls
who go in for athletics and bathe a
| good deal feel desire for the shampoo
of the head quite oftener than is really
necessary, and it is something they
cannot do themselves, especially il
they have abundant heads of hair. Sc
this girl had all she could do in hei
leisure time, and as she made hel
clients furnish their own soap anC
towels, it was all clear gain.
A funny idea, yet eminently practi,
cal, was that OF a college girl who
stretched new shoes for her well-to
do sisters She must have had foo
that would fit anything, but she did
her work along this liue successfully
and made money.
College girls as a rule hate to dc
their own mending, and as their cloth
ing is not inspected by a lynx-eyeC
matron, rs was formerly the custom il
the average female seminary, they arr
often untidy in this respect. A stu
dent handy with her needle and de
sirous of such work was overwhelmed
with mending of all kinds. In fact
she might have spent all her time il
repairing. Her charges were model

Here's something all those athletes use

4 c..ainr vision Of Beauty,

The girl of the season will tie rope
of silk roses about her throat after sun
set, according to Dame Fashion; but
she will have no more of them on her
new hat, declares a New York fashion
writer. That must be loaded with
feathers, and preferably plumes,
though the white doves wings are still
in vogue. An importation for earliest
fall wear is a cream-white sailor hat OF
the finest felt, as soft as velvet. Its
crown is made in Tam O'Shanter
fashion, and on the left side is big
cluster of white wings and quilts,
caught by knot of black velvet which
passes through a large buckle o.
sparkling cut steel. The new gir
promises to be picturesque.
