A poetess Of passion has written an
article on the art of keeping young,

tiser. She does not call il that ana she
devOtes nearly all her space to complex
ions. OF figures or hair or dress or ideas
she says not q word. She says women

this enlightened age, but they do work
over them and think about them and
spend money on them. They do no. tell
the men Of their acquaintancet the brand
of cold cream OF the make ofloofah they
employ, because men are preiudiced
Leings and cannot conceive of virtue
and pearl powder in the same person.
Man thinks soapand water sufficient cos
metics for any woman. The poetess of
passion houts him; she says there are
scores of excellent persons Of the fem
irine persuasion who never use soap on
their faces. One of the most beautiful
women she knew at 60 had a pink and
white skin, the result of bathing in hot
milk. and never having used soap.

CATS PROTECT CHICKENS.
Three semI-wnd Tnbbies Pounce
Upon n Hawk That Invaded "A
Poultry Yard.

II. c. Barnett, who lives near Medin,
has in his possession the body of
chicken hawk that was killed in a pc
culiar manner, reports the Philadel-
phia Record. Barnett Is a general
farmer, but makes a speciality of poul-
try raising. Since he has owned the
farm three old cats left by the former
tenant have hung about the place In a
semi-wild state. At first Barnett tried
to tame the animals, but they repulsed
oil friendly overtures and took up their
abode In the barn. However, as they
did not harm the chickens they were
not molested.
The other day, while Barnett was on
his barn roof replacing some shingles,
he heard loud cacl1ling in the yard
below Looking down, he saw num-
Der of his chickens huddled together
and seemingly greatly agitated. Then
he discovered n large hawk just pre-
pairing TO make q swoop. Barnett was
preparing TO descend to the rescue
when the hawk made n plunge at the
terrified fowls. The robber was lei
surely preparing TO carry off a chicken
when there was quick patter of feet
and the three cats bounded into view.
The hawk made an effort TO escape
with it's prey, but the cats came TO the
rescue in the nick of time. The hawk
mnde a spunky resistance, but the com
bined assault of the cats overpowered
him, although only after n fierce bat
tie. Barnett had reached the battle
field by this time, and he rescued the
hawks body from the cats.
