A Work of Wonder.
A POSTER IDYL


From Printers Ink.
There came to me artist Of the Aubrey Boards
ley brand
A man whose reputation had resounded through the
land.
His advertising posters had secured for him renown
And his multi cOlored efforts had received the
critics crown.
He said that, II wished 1t, he would make me a
design
business ad that surely would all other ones out
shine.
His price-fve hundred dollars-seemed a little
steep, IT'S true,
But / gave him the commission, and here's what
the fellow drew:
A violet young lady with bright vermilliOn hair
Upon a black and yellow wheel with vacant
stare.
Some gray and purple foliage growing her
right
From pink and orange branches Of a tree most

Where crimson grass WIS partly by an azure fence

Some dark brown clouds were 6eeting with gold

And birds of lemon piumage were soaring up on
high.
about that.
For connosseu.s came often to the artists charm
ing nat,
And they wondered at the drawing, so artistic in
the touch.
And they wondered at the colors-said they never
had seen such.
And they wondered at the blending, at the weird
conception grand,
And at a lot Of other things couldn't understand.
But l did my little wondering. as you may have
wondered what the people thought that poster

together the defects Of vision were foun,
to be 3.46 greater In the blacks. The de
fects OF hearing were about equal in both
races. There appeared to be very little
difference in the general acuteness OF
either the right or left side, as far as
either the ear or eye was concerned
Dividing both races according to sex it is
found that the greater percentage of
defective eyes in both races Is found in the
white females. In the whites the female
eye and ear are both the more defective,
while in the blacks the female has the
more defective eye and the male the more
both races and both sexes were found to
be better than the ears.
Mr.. Stetson considers the averages for
both eye and ear defects In the Washing

may be accounted for by the fact that
Washington school rooms are well lighted

the homes of the poorer classes are su-
perior to most cities of like population in
hygienic condition. In this city, he says
the number of study hours is less and the
number of exercise hours greater than in

those of this country than here in this
city. OF l 400 white children examined in
England and America many 35.1 per
cent were found with eyesight below nor
greater than the average for the 1,0OO eyes
of the blacks tested in this city, which
were more defective than those of the
whites Of Washington.

The New Pin Cushion.

New fads in fancy work are the delight
of every woman, particularly at this time
of the year, when in many instances II is

work instead of some gift bought from the
shops. Bags and pin cushions are ALWAYS
useful, and now there are the prettiest Dos
sible pincushions to be made up out of old
bits OF brocade and ribbon and gold or
silver cord. which need only taste in the
choosing Of the colors to combine and dain-
ty stitches to be exceedingly pretty.

Princess of Teck cushions-so called. it Is
said, because the princess was the first to
make them. They are made of several
pieces of material Joined very neatly to-
gether like patchwork, and they must not
measure more than a hands breadth In
circumference. AT every place where thew
are joined together they are tied tightly
down with strong linen thread, and Just
in the middle the bottom and top are drawn
quite together, so there is the deep hole in
the center. This is difficult to do and only
the strongest linen thread will make 1t pos
sible. Around the outside, halfway down.

or timely nap in cool, quiet room will
sometimes stop nevous headache, writes

Journal. when oven fatigued from shop

hot water and pressed repeatedly over the
back of the neck between the ears will be
found exceedingly refreshing especially if
the face and the temples are afterward sub
jected to the same treatment. Neuralgia
is caused not only BY cold air but by acidity
of the stomach, starved nerves, imperfect
teeth or by Incidence combined with a too
generous diet. Heat is the best and quick
est cure for this distressing pain. A hot
ilat-iron, passed rapidly and deity over
several folds of flannel laid on the affected
spot will often give relief in less than ten
minutes, without the aid of medicine Hot
lamentations are of equal value; though
when the skin is very tender is is more ad-
visahle to use dry heat, nothing being better
for the purpose than bags of heated salt,
flour or sand, which retain warmth for a
long time. Cold water, applied by the
finger tips to the nerves in front of the ear
has been known to dispel neuralgia pains
like magic. When caused by acidity dose
OF charcoal or soda will usually act as a
corrective. Sick headache is accompanied
by bilious symptoms, and attacks usually
come on when the person is overtired or
below par physically. This is a disease of
the first half of life, and often stops of its
own accord after middle age. A careful
diet is imperative in every case, sweet
meats and pastry being especially perni-
cious.

dinners, eating irregularly, insufficient mas
