The Golden Key to Happiness.

The woman who knows how to keep
silence has in her possession The gold
en- Key that unlocks one of the doors to
secret happiness" 1t is hard some
times not to speak. You know how it
Is. You are with dear friend whose
affection and loyalty you do not doubt
and in one of the unguarded moments
you are led to the extreme of conf
dence, telling some thought,som hope,
some belief or aspiration which before
has been hidden in your soul, scarcely
whispered to yourself, yet as vivid and
real to you as though it were sentient
with the life of its own fulfllment.
Your friend does not comprehend,
treats it lightly. and goes away onto
some topic far removed. You have an
instant sense of betrayal, and sort of
resentment toward the friend whom
for the moment you think has failed
you. 1t is you who are to blame for
expecting more of your friend than she
was capable Of giving.-Sallie Joy

T & From the st. Louis Post Dispatch:
The statistics and diagrams Of sleep
I'm the Sunday Dispatch are in
teresting as showing the influenc. Of
occupation upon habit. The American
naval officer gets less sleep on the aver
age than any one else. 1t is with him
matter of regulation, but he gets used
to his scant allowance and seems to
thrive under 1t. He sleeps six hours
lin the twenty-four. The actor sleeps
ten, while the army officer is allowed
eight hours. There are two extreme
opinions on the subject of sleep. One
that men do not sleep enough, the
other that they sleep too much. Prob
ably the truth is that tranquil and
evenly balanced mind not given to

ment needs less sleep than the fussy

Many people are much troubled with
damp hands and feet, especially in the
winter. To alleviate this trouble mix
eau de cologne and tincture of BELLA
donna in the proportion of one ounce
of the tincture to rather more than
four of eau de cologne. Soak piece of
rag in the mixture, and dab the hands
and feet with it three or four times a
day. Before putting on gloves soak
the hands in powdered alum and water
for few seconds, dry them, then dust
them over with powdered club moss,
little of which may also be sprinkled
inside the gloves. Thread gloves should
be worn in preference to kid. Follow
an alum, water and club-moss treat
ment for the feet, busting the powdered
club moss in the shoes as in the gloves.

SO She Would Not Hire Her Servant
A very good servant wanted to make
change. She was not going to stay
with her present mistress under any
circumstances, says the New York
Times. The mistress was good wom-
an, though it is acknowledged by her
friends that she has some peculiarities
that may have been the servants rea-
son for leaving. The girl did not wish
to leave one place until she had pros
pect of another, and she went, not un-
naturally, to the house Of a friend of
her mistress, whom she had reason to
think needed a servant, and whom she
knew from seeing at the house. This
was perfectly legitimate She would
give fair warning when the time came.
But the woman to whom she went
would not take her. She would have
liked the girl, and she did need a SER
want. But" she said, Il can afford
better to be without a servant than
without friend. Miss Blank might
think that had tried to get you away
from her, and would not take you for
the world" That would appear to be
a tritle prescriptions, but then she
knew the woman of whom she spoke,

Chinese History in Arrears.

There are court historians In China,
as there are in other countries, but
there is one striking difference and it
lies in the fact that the works of the
Chinese court historians do not see the
light until the reigning dynasty comes
to an end, says the ST. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. This has been the rule for
more than 1000 years, the first court
historian having been appointed by
the imperial house of Han, which
reigned from 206 B. G. until rs A. ID.
The duty of these historians is to write
plain accounts of all the events that
occur during their tenure of office. At
regular intervals their completed work
is taken from them and locked up in
an iron safe or vault. There it re-
mains until the first member of a new
dynasty ascends the throne. 1t is

the cure" was in process, and in the
end obliged to abandon its use from
the very disagrecable after-effects OF
the treatment All authorities on the
subject Of hair doctoring agree that
the natural oil of the hair, judiciously
augmented by an artificially applied
oil, will be of material benefit in pro-
ducing luXuriant, glossy tresses and
prevent the long ends from splitting
| and the hair from falling out for the
| reason that the roots are properly
nourished. Another reason why some
| good oil should be carefully applied
to the roots of the hair Is the necessity
! of keeping the scalp loose from the
head, and by this means permitting
the natural oil of the hair to nourish
1t as nature intended it should. 1t has
been found that the best, purest olive
oil, purchased at some reliable gro
Gerry or Italian warehouse, or in small
quantities from the drug store, has all
the medical qualities of kerosene,
without any of its disagreeable after
| effects. Use only a very little at a
time, dipping the fingers into saucer
containing not more than half a tea
Spoonful of the very best oil. Then
massage the scalp thoroughly (not
letting the oil touch the long ends Of
the hair), until it is worked in so COM
pletely that the scalp feels almost dry.
This treatment applied once week
with shampoo the principal ingre-
dent of which is the white of an egg,
and then washed with hot water and
white CASTLE soap, and afterwards
carefully and thoroughly rinsed with
hot water once every two weeks, it is
said, will prevent the hair from falling
