Dolls Heads.

Years ago doll heads were made Of
wood, carved out by hand, and great
numbers of dolls were sold that were
entirely Of wood, with jointed arms
and legs. Some dolls Of this sort, look
ing quaint enough now, though they
were once so common, are still sold,
but the great bulk Of the dolls now
made have bodies Of cloth or leather,
with heads Of china, bisQue or papier
mache There are also dolls heads Of
metal, these heads being made Of brass
in two parts. stamped out with dies
and joined together.
In the process by which these heads
are made, many dies are used In the
production Of a single head, the metal
being worked to its final shape gradu-
ally. The first die makes but barely
perceptible impression upon the piece
Of sheet metal from which the head Is
to be formed. The next shapes It a
little more, and SO on by pressure from
successive dies, each a little more
sharply defined, the head IS brought
finally to its perfect form. These heads
are made in various sizes and in vari-
Gus styles as to details Of finish. They
cost about the same as the best bisque
heads, but one Of the merits claimed
for them is indestructibility.-

Soup For Car Fare.

An amusing incident happened on q
Carondelet street car the other after
noon. The car was going south. At
Lami street big, portly woman got
aboard. On her arm she carried
large market basket that apparently
was filled with bargain purchases
from some department store. Three
deposited the basket between her feet
on the floor the conductor came along
with the usual cry, "Fare, please"
The old lady opened her purse and
began rummaging through the various
pockets for nickel. Again and again
she went through it, but no change
was to be found. Then she turned to
the conductor and said:
81 was sure I had saved car fare, but
I cannot find it. live at the end Of
your line and will pay you then"
"That won't do; must have your fare
now," said the fare collector.
"Well, 1 haven't the money"
"Well, give me something the value
of nickel and you Can redeem it at
the end Of the line
The old lady hesitated a moment,
then put her hand down into the
basket and drew out q bar Of laundry
soap and handed it to him.
Everybody in the car laughed, but
the conductor took the soap and rang
up her fare.-St. Louis Star.

A Saving That Is Loss.

Isn't it possible to have too much
economy? If we scrimp and pinch
every bit Of sweetness out Of life, what
q heavy price we pay for economy!
Often one may lose friend or catch
q disastrous cold or miss train for
some little miserable point Of economy.
People often laboriously save Mt an
actual loss. A woman will press her
way to a bargain counter at danger
to life. and limb and pickpockets and
20 away radiant, with pair Of SO cent
gloves which will last about three
wearings. The same woman will go
to an incompetent dressmaker and
have her new gown ruined in the name
Of economy. Economy Is wealth."
sayeth the wise saw, but the poor
make believe economy which over
reaches itself defeats its own purpose
and leads to nothing but the direst
poverty Of spirit and purse. Before
rashly deciding on q point Of economy
it is fully worth while to sit down and
figure out which is the more profitable.

The Watch Oak Tree.

The Brooklyn Times gives ON inter-
esting account of fine oak tree which
stands on the grave of Presbyterian
minister in the cemetery ut Hunting
ton, N. Y. The clergyman's son has
encircled the tree with bronze tablet
with the following inscription: This
tree was grown from an acorn taken
from the historic watch oak tree Of
England and planted by the Rev.
James McDougal, 1862"
The watch oak tree referred to
stands near the town Of Battle, Eng
land. The place was formerly called
Senac 1t is near the spot where Har-
old II, the king Of England, gathered
his army for q battle with William the
Conqueror on Oct. IA, 10GG. Tradition
has it that the oak tree stood in q
prominent position and that from It's
branches Harold's men observed the
movements Of the invading Normans.
The name watch oak was given it, and
as such it has been known during the
centuries since that memorable battle.

Shor. on Beauties.

To one woman who is q picture you
will find three who are caricatures.
This unhappy state Of things is not en-
tirely due to the stingy way in which
Dame Nature doles out divine shoul-
ders and perfect noses and Cupid's bow
mouths. 1t is more often general
lack Of understanding Of grooming and
gowning. Add to this the painful ig-
norance concerning the care Of the
health and methodical treatment of
the hair and complexion, and you have
the main reasons why the world is so
short on beauties and long on plain
women.
One of the greatest words in the
English language is fitness" The
man who knows the meaning Of this
word and profits by his knowledge
usually comes out we'll in business
matters and domestic ones too. The
woman who is equally we'll informed
as to what is in good taste and 'fit-
ting" is not only beloved by '-iends
and acquaintances, but she is we'll
poised in character and always good to
look upon.
The girl who is 5 feet inch in her
bedroom slippers and who invariably
invests in top heavy hat that would
be becoming only to a woman Of ample,
stunning proportions and regal car
riage is one Of the many to whom the
word "itnpssn has No moro meaning
than the yowls Of a yellow cat or the
peeps Of a canary bird.-Chicago Times

The Shfphouse:

An interesting landmark Of German
town, Pa, is the "Ship House." in
Main street, above Washington lane,
short distance from the battlefield OF
Germantown. The building received its
odd name on account Of plaster OF
paris model of q ship which has been
on the lower gable of the house from
time immemorial. This model is sup
posed to have been placed there by q
former owner, q sea captain. Ihe rear
Of the building was the first hall in
Germantown and was used for prayer
meetings and singing schools. The
front part was erected about 1760, and
the hall was built aftcrward.

Tactful.

A little tact sometimes saves great
deal of pain, and every man whose
duty it is to select or dismiss en-
ployees will find it's use as essential to
his own comfort rs to that Of the men

called for extraordinary tact and re-

The conductor was trying the voice
OF young woman who wished to Sc
cure a place in an opera troupe. The
manager was standing by. The candi-
date was frail and timid. She finished
her song with an air Of distress.
''How is it," asked the manager un-
tremendously.

eyes Of the girl. But he had his duty
to perform. He struck three notes on

O.trich HTeIephoning."

When the eggs on the ostrich farms
of California are at the point Of hatch
ing, says Charles f. Holder, curious
tapping of the shells may be heard.
This the keepers call "telephoning."
The sound is caused by the chicks in
side the eggs endeayoring to break out.
Those which cannot easily emerge are
assisted by the mother bird, which
will sometimes break an egg from
which the telephoning is heard by
pressing it carefully and will then aid
the chick to get out. At the Pasadena
farm the sight Of boy riding an os-
trich as he would pony may some
times be seen.
