From Washington
How a Little Boy Was saved.

Washington, D. c." When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with a rash which was thought to
be measles. In q few days he had q
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be humps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered q
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but | would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said 1t was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. / decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed SO nicely that I stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon I again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and it's
persistent use has accomplished a COM

1t is enough to give one chilly shiv-
ers up and down his spinal column
and back again to see an electric fan
in the window of a store on Euclid
avenue, whirling away as though the
thermometer indicated a degree of
heat approaching that of Kentucky
politics. The fan is in the big window
of the store and it is kept there all
the time, whirling away as though it
were summer. 1t is an ordinary fan
and there is nothing about it to attract
attention save the fact that it Is going
and that it is pointed toward the plate
glass window-that is, it blows the
air against the inside of the glass. The
reason for this odd use of an electric
fan in the dead of winter is the solu-
ton of one of the problems that has
bothered storekeepers for years, ever
since there were stores and winters
probably. There have been inventions
of how to keep the frost from forming
on the inside of show windows and
obscurfng them SO that the things in
the windows cannot be seen from the
street. There have been innumerable
inventions to keep the windows clear
in cold weather, and some of the ex-
pensive ones are fairly successful. This
merchant has found the easiest and
cheapest. He puts an electric fan in
the window space. The fan blows the
air against the inside of the glass
hard enough SO that there is always

The Bunker Hill Monument.

The corner stone of the Bunker Hill
monument was laid on the 50th ami
versary of the battle of Bunker Hill.
June II, 1925, by Lafayette, and the
Grafton was pronounced by Daniel
Webster. 1t is a square shaft Of Quincy
granite, 221 feet high, 81 feet square at
the base and Is feet at the top. Inside
the shaft is a round hollow cone, seven
feet wide at the bottom and four feet
two inches at the top, encircled by a
winding staircase containing pa stone
steps, which leads to a chamber II feet
in diameter, immeditely under the
apex. The chamber has four windows.
and contains two cannons, named Han
cock and Adams respectively, which
were used in the war. The monument
was completed and dedicated June II,

the ground is covered with snow. The
little ones of the household should be
encouraged to remember the poor
birds, so dependent at this time of year
upon such assistance. Remains of
cold boiled potatoes, broken small, will
be picked up eagerly; a handful of
rolled oats will be a perfect feast, and
cooked rice, barley, pease, etc., left
from a meal, and all much appreciated
by them. The pleasure of watching
the birds is very great--especially to
children, whose natural love towards
all dumb creatures is intensified by
the knowledge that they are befriend-
ing them, and, perhaps, saving them
from a cruel death. Those living in a

The first illustration on this page
p%ortrays wildly the life on the Trans
vaal frontier. A young Englishman
and his wife have settled in South AT

home. The Boer farmers in the neigh
borhood have been jealous of the "Out-
lander" whose ways were not their
ways. Quarrels have arisen.
But the Boer army is far away, he
thinks. He does not know that the
British troops in Natal have concen-
trated in a few towns and left the rest
of the country to the invading Trans
vaal army, who have been reinforced
by his neighbors of Boer blood.
Little Paul Revere, a trooper, rides

the news means to the young English

HELIEU's DRY POINT PRINTS.
The Fragment of Diamond With
which His Plates Have Been
Made Was Given Aim by TissOt

New York, Jan -Four years ago the
art lovers OF England and America were
delighted with a new emotion, the dry
points of Paul Helleu of Paris. Every
year since then America has seen a few
of Helleu's prints, not many TO be sure.
because there have been art lovers ev-
erywhere to satisfy. In New York Hell
leus drypoints have become the rage,
with collectors, and the quota assigned to
this country does not last long on exhibit

covered copper plate, afterward. subjected

master records his impressions on paper,
so this master draws on indelible and m
effaceable copper The result is a proof
from the plate at first hand that has all
the vim and energy of the original con-
ception of the artists mind, drawn with
exceeding deicacy and a marvellous sure
ness of eye and hand.
Helleu is master of elegance. His
models are usually women and children,
only occasionally has he drawn men. One
of his men models was Whistler, with his
famous single eyeglassA Only twenty
prints were made from this plate, when
it was destroyed. The original prints cost
$50 each; they are now worth $500 each
Helleu was born at Vannes, France, in
1859. His father was a native of Brittany;
his mother was a Partisan As an art stu
dent in Paris he was most Influenced by
the great American arst. John Sargent.
who is now his most intimate friend, and
with whom he is coming to America on
visit some time this year.
But of Helleus wonderful work. A TIel
leu print is in no sense an etching. The
drypoint process yields a very few rich
and velvety Impressions and then the plate
wears out totally. For this reason Helleu
never prints more than twenty Impressions
of each plate and frequently not more than
10, and sometimes as few .as three, after
which the plate is destroyed. When Hell
leu first began making his drypoints the
art world of Paris sneered at his work.
The English and American coliec tors, how
ever, became enthusiastic over them when
they were first shown and one of his most
ardent admirers was the Princess of
Wales. who possesses a large collection of
his prints.
His work is exceedingly rapid and brill
liant in its execution OF all his dry
points scarcely one of them has involved
