FEMININE NOTES.
There isn't half as much sense cry
ing over split milk as over sour milk
this weather.
Letters in the life of a lonely
woman are almost as cheering as the
visits Of friends.
A fhssy woman in railroad train
is pretty bad, but a tassy man can
discount her all to pieces.
Isn't it strange how long i. takes
to forge the chain of friendship and
how quickly and easily the links are
broken?
1t IS always the man who is The
most Conceited who generally wakes
truly eloquent regarding this char
acteristic in others.
Il is so easy for a man to tell q
woman that she can depend upon
him. but things are different when it
comes the time Of her depending.
The good VII of a dog is preferable
to It's Ill Will always, but particularly
these days when the wandering canine
may be verging on hydrophobia.
A week is but seven short days,
though many a woman has thought
1t seventy times seven when it has
meant separation from some one she
loved
There are many OF US who feel that
life would be much more joyous if
We could retire behind a screen when
We eat wat rmelon. asparagus or
corn.
The single girl always declares that
all the incest men are married ones.
The married women perhaps echo this
sentiment but they do not explain
to whom they are married
Talk about a dogs life being an
unenviable one, It is quite the reverse
provided the dog has secured as mis-
tress an 'ndulgent wsmau who puts
his royal caninity ahead Of even the
comfort Of her friends.

THE PARASOL EFFEC :.

Parasol perfection is reached IN a
thick, solid stick as large ct the ferule
as at the handle end No fernle Is
affixed, however; the whole suck is
rather short, and the covering is done
In silk of a solid color. Heaviest
taffeta and turquoise blue rank first
for good style, and these are in sharp
contrast to the frilly, parti-colored
sunshades that appeal to great ma
jority Summer umbrellas roll tightly
about thin, long sticks, and are cheer
fully colored in green, red, mustard
yellow and Yale blue. There is a red
Turkey cotton umbrella especially
adapted TO the golf course, mounted
or stout bamboo stick, and besides
this novelty nothing less than a BIZ
cycler's parasol, pointed of handle and
SO light Of weight that when fastened
behind the saddle or to the handle
bar and unfurled it adds very little
TO the wheelwoman s burden. When
not in use it folds up and straps in
beneath the saddle, and though these
have been used a long time in Eng
land we are but just giving them the
benefit of experiment on this side.
An advance model in fill wraps
which is as original as it is artistic,

Use of Salt.

The Augusta Chronicle learns earns
that 9. Godfrey Gumpel, an
English scientist, has spent 2
years in studying the effectof salt
upon the body and is about to
publish a book which he thinks
will be revolutionary. He attributes
diphtheria, apoplexy and various
other diseases to deficiency of
common salt in the system.
We are inclined to think that
Professor Grumpel is on the
right line and if his book can be
obtained on this side of the water,
it should be widely rea. We can
not expertly speak as to the preven-
ton of the diseases mentioned,
but he may be right. We DO
know that, so far as our individual,
experience is concerned, salt is at
once the cheapest and most
benignant preservators of health.
No headache or neuralgia or
congestion can get lodgment OF any
duration when salt and water are
procurable before breakfast. Other
people may be differently consti-
tuted. An old friend of ours, 80
years of age, a marvel OF
body for his years, ascr'bed his
good condition to the judicious
use of salt. The Hindoos say that
their freedom from throat disease
comes from saline gargles daily.
A Hindoo mother teaches her in
FAINT this habit and sees that it is
practiced. Salt is one of the
greatest blessi 3 when used with
freedom and discretion. and
this was pointed out years ago by
the late eminent DR.. L. A. Dugas.

which 1 paid s1.25 per bushel; this is
$3.50 for the wheat. I paid man 81
to SOW and plow it in, $3.50; 5OS to
harrow the land, 81; paid 81 for
hauling wheat to thresher. and 5oS for
hauling wheat home again, $3.50; 1
paid soy for carrying wneaC TO mill.
Six dollars, all told, is what it cost me
to make my wheat crop and get the
flour home. Results: made twenty
nine shocks; wheat threshed out three
bushels and three pecks of clean wheat.
This wheat sent to mill gave me five
small bags of different grades, one OF
first patent, one Of second, one of mid
dlings, one of shorts, and one of bran.
Pou Jones brought the five bags home
from the mill and emptied them all to-
gether in barrel, bag after bag, fine
flour, seconds, shorts, bran. At the
mill where 1 had my wheat ground I
could have bought wheat at 81 per
bushel." Raise wheat, make your own
flour and be happy.
