Here's a tip for some of our old
friends who have big names and need
a little ready money: Turner Beall
president of the Produce Exchange
Trust Company. used to be secretary
of the Produce Exchange and of the
New York Southern Society Among
the men of his acquaintance he ad-
mires none so much as does Colonel
William de Hertburne Washington. A
little while ago he asked Colonel
Washington If he might use his name
in financial transaction. Having i'm
plicit faith in Beall, the colonel con-
scented, and was pleased to receive a
short time afterward a check for
$4,000. his share of deal made by
his friend on the strength of the name
of Washington.

AN INDIANS GLASS WAGON.
Wanted Swell Carriage and Bought a
Hearse

Wanted a Swell Carriage and Bought a
Hearse.
The Osages as a people are the rich
est on earth. From the interest on the
money which the United States govern
ment borrowed from them as a narlon
| and from the rental OF their grass
lands the Osages, men, women and
children, collect about $50 each every
three months. The Osages, therefore,
are very fond of large families, says
the Kansas City Star, and it is to the
material interest Of every Indian to
have as many children as possible. In
his case each new child does not repre-
sent another mouth to feed, but an
other source Of income. The father,
on pay day, collects from the govern
ment paymaster the money coming to
his family, and this often amounts to
a considerable sum. The Indian has
never fully realized the value Of money
1t comes too easily. When he gets
his funds he goes around and pays his
| debts, for he is always given credit by
the traders" and he settles his ac-
counts because he will shortly need
credit again until pay day comes
around once more. With the money
he has left over he buys anything that
takes his fancy, and sometimes he
makes remarkable and ludicrous pur-
chases. An Usage who had missed pay
day until he had accumulated riches
beyond his most ayarieious dreams
went to Coffeyville, in Southern Kan
sas, one day with his pockets bullying
with money. He shopped around in
the stores, buying everything he fan
cied, until he had accumulated a
larger load than his pony could carry.
He was wandering along the streer,
wondering how he would transport it
to his home, when he saw large black
wagon with glass sides standing in
front of store. He looked at it visit
fully for some time, examined the
horses and harness and waged his head
in an appreciative way. The under
taker, who had observed him, came
out. "How much?" asked the Indian.
The undertaken, for joke, named a
price. The Indian went into his peck
ct, counted out the money, mounted
the box of the hearse and drove away
before the undertaken could remon-
strate. And now Mr.. Indian comes to
town in style, with his squaw beside
him on the seat and the inside of the
hearse full of very lively little pa
pooses. who look out through the glass
sides of their strange carriage. The
hearse also does service when the In
dian comes to town with a load of
wheat. which looks very nice through
the glass sides. 1t is not every man
Indian or white, who can haul his
family and his grain in wagon with
transparent sideboards.

The Key to Success.

Many young people are asking: How
shall / make life a success? To all
such we answer: BY being loyal to
God. loyal to the truth, loyal to right
eousness, loyal to your inner convic-
tions of pure. noble manhood and
womanhood. Loyalty to God is sue
cess. no matter what else may fail
Loyalty to truth and righteousness is
victory, no matter in what other re-
spects you may suffer defeat. Loyalty
to a pure, noble manhood and woman
hood is the greatest possible triumph,
no matter through what hardships and
privations the path OF life may lead.
Persistent loyalty to honest convie-
tions of duty to God and man can but
lead to the grandest achievements pos
sible to human souls. Loyalty to the
living Christ insures a place in the
triumphant procession when the COM
pete victory of the kingdom of right
eousness is achieved, and the King OF
kings sits crowned upon the review ing
stand.-Religious Telescope.

Kitchen Wisfinm.

Boiling Is not the only method avail
able for vegetables. Some which have
passed their prime may be rendered
wholesome and good by stewing, and
firmer, tougher kinds will be good
when praised. Watery vegetables, like
cucumbers and squashes, are very good
baked, while vegetable soups afford
endless variety. Young vegetables
should be cooked in boiling water, but
the temperature should be reduced, ac-
cording to age, old vegetables, late in
the season, being better If put on in
cold water and cooked long and slowly.
Berries for jam should be gathered in
dry weather, and the best sugar used,
which is cheaper, as less scum gathers
than when cheaper sugar is used. Too
little sugar will make jam ferment, and
too much will result in candying; the
same will happen if boiled too long.
The flavor of bread pudding is inn
proved by adding five or six almonds
chopped fine. A shin is the richest
part Of meat for stews, as it contains
so much marrow. Meat for stews
should always be cut into convenient
pieces for serving. If apples are cored
before peeling they are not so apt to
break. In making desert when gela-
tine, milk and sugar are all used, mix
the gelatine with the sugar before II
is dissolved in milk, to prevent the
milk from curdling.

The name of 6-year-old Rudolph
Becker Of New Brunswick, N. j., be-
longs in the list of those who have
given their lives to save others. The
boy was playing in the street with his
younger brother and sister one day
last month, when a runaway team of
horses, attached to a heavy wagon,
came around the corner. Rudolph was
near the curbing and might have saved
himself, but instead he ran out, drew
his little sister one side, then darted
right in front of the horses, in an effort
TO save his brother. Both wheels
passed over him, and he lived but
two hours, the only words he spoke
being the question, did baby and
Nathan get hurt?" The other children
were both saved.

Leave the Result.

l have learned, l hope, the useless
ness of forecasting. / don't mean that
one should be needless and careless
about the future-far from that; but
merely that, having done whatever
seems for the best today, we should
simply and reverently leave the result
in Gods hands | often long to give a
simple recipe to anxious people; let
them write out over night what they
expect to have happen to them the
next day, going as much in detail as
they can; and then the next evening
let them write what really did happen.
| do not mean that 1t will necessarily
be either better or worse than their
anticipations, but only that it will be
SO utterly different, nine times out Of
ten, as to prove the futility of forecast
ing.-Margaret Vandegrift.

A Feminine habit.

A vigorous note of warning against
the essentially feminine habit of hold
ing pins in the mouth has been
sounded by Dr. A. Monae Lesser, in a
recent lecture to the Red Cross nurses.
Don't do it," he says. Not so much
from fear of swallowing it-for that
would mean only surgical case-but
from fear. based upon good grounds, of
contagion. tuberculosis and many
other diseases can be transmitted in
no easier way. Under the head of the
pin all kinds of germs may be located,
and irritating the tongue ever so little
renders one liable to contract diseases.
Even a new paper of pins is not above
suspicion. In Europe especially boys
prowl about the streets, hunting for
pins, which they carry to the factory
and sell to the manufacturer. These
are laid in rows, and go in with the
new pins, looking as innocent as their
fellows, though they are far from what
they appear" The questionable habit
of women putting pencils and silver
money in their mouths was also placed
in the same category of dangerous"
and to be avoided.

A little time to make the Lands beau
tiful need not be grudged even by the
busiest woman, when it Is said that
beautiful hands are worthy instru-
ments of beautiful acts. The soft.
moist skin that makes the touch Of a
woman's hand so soothing to the fe-
vered brow, so inspiriting to the tired.
nerveless hand which it clasps. cannot
be obtained or preserved without due
observance of hygienic laws and devo-
ton to cosmetics. Excessive heat or
cold are not only as destructive to the
beauty Of the hands as to the beauty of
the face, but IL long continued they
may so affect the network OF the nerves
as to mar the delicacy of the touch. In
washing the hands the temperature of
the water should be made a matter OF
care, and tepid water only should be
used Care should be taken to dry the
hands thoroughly before exposing to
the air. AS the wind and sun roughen
and discolor the hands, gloves should
always be worn. The best gloves are
mace of dogskin, which has The prop
erty Of softening the skin Of the hand
and keeping it in good condition. Next
to good homemade soap, pure CASTLE
is the best for washing the hands.
The hands should be thoroughly wash
ed with soap and tepid water, rinsed
and then soaped again and rubbed I'M
til the soap on them forms a lather,
after which they are to be dried with
out again rinsing. They should then
be lightly wiped with soft towel
moistened with some aromatic toilet
water. This treatment will keep the
skin fine and white. The yolk Of a
fresh egg, almond and chestnut meal,
oatmeal and bran, are all useful for
whitening and refining the skin of the
hands. The following recipe for the
same purpose is a good one: Sweet
almond OIL so grains; virgin wax, II
grains spermaceti, II grains. Heat
these substances in water bath in
three separate vessels When hot, pour
all into a cold vessel and beat thor
oughly. Then put the mixture into
bowl Of cold water, continue beating
until white. This is to be applied to
the hands and arms every night on go
ing to bed, or gloves spread with it
may be worn. Another preparation is
as follows: Two yolks of fresh eggs,
two tabIespoonfuls of oil Of sweet al
monds, 80 grams of rose water, eight
grams tincture of benzoin. Beat yolks
with the oil, then add the rose water,
and lastly the tincture of benzoin.

The Conservation Of the WIN.

God never seeks to take back the will
which he has conferred upon man.
That is not his way. He gave the gift
knowingly and deliberately, and he
stands by his decisions. What God
does ask, however, is the conservation
OF the human will. and its conservation
by its very conservation. 1t is still to
be my will" but my will doing thy
will" This means the perfection OF
yolitional power, and the idealization
Of impulse 1t denotes man at his best,
not self-destroying, but self-surrender-
ing. The voluntariness, the freeness,
the abandon of 1t is of the essence OF
the whole thing, and constitutes the
true dignity and glory of the human
subject. 1t is not strictly accurate,
then, to speak of the human will as
being lost" in the divine. 1t is not
lost at all, but most truly found-itself
most intensely and necessarily active
when so perfectly fulfilling the wish OF
the Creator that it seems to be merged
in his greater will. Yet its identity is
not lost: it is still my will" doing thy
will" We would hardly look to poet
for precise philosophic definition on
this point. but 1t happens that We find
lucid and revealing statement Of the
Christian method OF the will in the fa-
miliar lines. I'm Memoriam," where the
believing Tennyson sings: Our wills
are ours. to make them thine" That
is it. The wills are ours: otherwise
humanity would possess little real dig
nifty. But our wills are ours for an
Interior purpose; they are ours, not
with view to their remaining cen
tered on the selfish human subject:
they are ours ito make them thine"

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER.
1t Took Time to Introduce IT and Bring
1t to Its Present Perfection.

1t to Its Present Perfection.
From the Paper Trade: While va
rious kinds of printed fabrics were
known to the people of most remote
antiquity it was not till the eighteenth
century that wallpaper anywhere near
its present form came into common
use in Europe, though it appears to
have been used much earlier in China.
A few rare examples which may be as
early as the sixteenth century exist in
England, but these are limitations, gen.
orally in flock" Of the old Florentine
and Genoese cut velvets, and hence the
style of the design in no way shows
the date of the wallpaper, the same
traditional patterns being reproduced
with little or no change for many
years. 1t was not till the end Of the
last century that the machinery to
make paper in long strips was invent
ed. Up to that time wallpapers were
printed on small square pieces of hand
made paper and were very expensive.
On this account wallpaper was slow in
superseding the older mural decora-
lions, such as tapestry, stamped
leather and paper cloth. A work
printed in London in 1744 throws some
light on the use of wallpapers of that
time: THE method of printing wall
papers of the better sort is probably
the same now that it has ever been.
Wooden blocks, with the design cut in
relief, one for each color, are applied
by hand, after being dipped in an
elastic cloth sieve charged with wet
tempera pigment, great care being
taken 70 lay each block exactly on the
right place. so that the various colors
may register or get together. In or
der to suit the productions If the pa
per mills these blocks are made in
England twenty-one inches wide, and
in France eighteen inches wide. The
length of tn block is limited to what
the workman can easily lift with one
hand-two feet being about the limit,
as the blocks are necessarily thick and
in many cases made heavier by being
inlaid with copper, especially the thin
outlines, which, if made of wood,
would not stand the wear and tear of
printing. In flock and gold or silver
printing the design is first printed in
strong size, the flock Finely cut wool
OF the required color) or metallic pow
der is then sprinkled by hand over the
paper; it adheres only to the wet size.
and is easily shaken off the ground or
unsized part. If the pattern is re-
quired to stand out in some relief the
process is repeated several times and
the whole paper then rolled to COM
press the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper
are printed by machinery, the design
being cut on the surface of wooden
rollers, under which the paper passes.
The chief drawback to this process is
that all the colors are applied rapidly,
one after the other, without allowing
each to dry separately, as is done in
hand printing. A somewhat blurred
appearance is usually the result"

The Hair.

The hair has a great deal to do with
ones appearance, almost as much as
the teeth; yet many persons who take
fair care of their teeth neglect their
hair woefully. 1.-THE very best thing
to do in order to keep the hair in good
condition is to massage the scalp daily.
This systematic manipulation keeps
the skin from tightening and prevents
the head from becoming, as it were,
hide bound. Hair cannot grow on a
stiffened, CLASSY skin, which has got
into such dry state that it, so to
speak, no longer breathes. II your
hair shows signs OF lifelessness, or the
scalp feels sore to the touch, go to a
good masseuse twice week. If you
cannot conveniently do that take a
lesson or two-learn, by all means, to
manipulate your scalp yourself 1t is
no great task, and it will keep what
hair you have and encourage more to
come. At all events, don't drag the
hair off your head by brushing. 1t is
a pretty well exploded idea that brush
ing is beneficial. Above all things,
never attempt to free the head or hair
of dust with fine comb"-that is
death to the hair. as is too much wash
ing. Five or TX times year is quite
often enough for shampoo. One of
the reasons why more men than
women are baldheaded is because men,
having short hair, are apt to wet the
head daily. which practice carries off
the natural fertilizing secretions. Too
much water rots the hair.
