ly delightful entertainment from be-
ginning to end
The sale of tickets had been limited

no doubt but that more than that num-

rey sang several Old-tme negro re-

scription. There We're side sachets,
backward prouttes, forward glides and
every other kind of cake-walk step
imaginable and all done with nimb!e-
ness and grace that equalled any,

Some Simple Remedies.

In one O. the United States health
reports published in Washington a few
simple remedies for emergency uses
are suggested. Witch hazel is one and
is recommended as one Of the quickest
soothers and restorers of a tired brain
Battle the eyes and forehead freely with
the liquid and apply cloth wet with
it at the back of the neck.
Cloths wet in strong solution Of
borax water are very cool and healing
in case Of a burn; care should be taken,
however, to exclude the air in putting
them on.
A tiny pinch Of powdered borax
placed on the tongue and allowed to
dissolve slowly will almost instantly
stop hacking, irritating cough that
may be disturbing one at night. The
same treatment relieves an ulcer in
the throat, and at the slightest irri-
tation or soreness Of the throat a gar
gle Of salt water and borax will be
found efficient
