GIVE THE CHILDREN A DRINK

called Grain-O. It is a delicious, appe.
thing, nourishing food drink to take the
place of coffee. Sold by all grocers and
liked by all who have used it because
when properly prepared it tastes like the
finest coffee, but is free from all its in
furious properties. Grain.O aids diges-
ton and strengthens the nerves. It is
not stimulant but health builder, and
children, as well as adults, can drink 1t
with great benefit. Costs about one
quarter as much as coffee. Fifteen and
% cents.

Lives by Tuning Pianos.

Travelling around the country tuning
pianos is the unique occupation fol-
lowed by Miss Nellie Jay Hatch. a
pretty and attractive young woman OF
Seneca. Kan. On graduation from the
New England Conservatory of Music in
Boston Miss Hatch received a diploma
i'm piano tuning. and the course she
took i'm order TO secure IL was both
thorough and comprehensive. She had
to study harmony, theory and vocal
and instrumental music besides famil-
iarizing herself with the construction
Of the action of a piano. She was train
ed so carefully i'm this latter depart
ment that she Is fully competent to reg
ulate, adjust and even to make any Of
the various parts. In the rudimentary
work which prepared her for tuning
she had to devote almost half a year to
the study of pitch in order to learn to
discern the right and wrong tones. Next
she devoted her time to the distribution
of Notwithstanding the difference in
pitch between two tones. 1t Is claimed
that the only way To tune accurately
is to give a certain number of beats to
each interval, the only pure intervals
being the octaves and unisons.
After this Miss Hatch looked into re-
pairing. regulating and restringing. She
was graduated i'm 1889. and since then
she has Travelled throughout the state
of Kansas. actively engaged In her
chosen profession.

Color Tints.

II is interesting 10 know the real
meaning of the various color tints with
which we are familiar today. The ma
iority think the titles arc bestowed hap
hazard but II is not SO. Each one Is
traceable to a we'll defined origin. For
instance, mastic. the fashionable gray
tan shade. is named after the mastic
tree which grows in Greece. the gum
of which resembles II i'm color. Blue
black is in honor OF the charcoal that
comes from the vine stock India ink
is made from burned camphor. Scarlet
is iodide of mercury. Chinese white is
zinc. Turkey red is made from the
madder plant that thrives in Hindu
stan. For indian yellow we are indebt-
ed to the camel and for sepia to the
cuttlefish. The latter Is an inky fluid
the fish discharges when attacked IN
order TO make the water opaque. The
vivid crimsons. carmines and reddish
purples are all furnished by the cochi-
neal insects. The beautiful prussian
blue is achieved by fusing horses hoofs
and other refuse animal matter In
strong solution OF potassium carbonate.
Vermilion is from the orc cinnabar.
Gamboge H. from the yellow sap or
tree i'm Siam. Brister is the SCOT OK
wood ashes. and raw sienna Is the nat
ural earth from the vicinity of Sienna.

she finds her own are little lighter

she happens TO be one of the greatly
gifted by nature ones. There is an
eyebrow preparation used by the ladies
of France that is very good. Its foun-
dation is burned cork, but so greatly dis
guised is IL that IL has none of the burned
cork characteristics. For this eyebrow
preparation begin by placing upon the
open CRATE fire four large corks. That

are highly innammable and will begin
TO blaze almost as soon as nut thrown
into the flames. Once lighted. you can
not put them out. Let the corks SIM

Now draw them carefully from the fire.
