Ancient Cosmetic Arts.

The cosmetic arts are older than any
other beautifying devices. The women of
Biblical days laid tremendous stress up
on all sorts of unguents, oils, pomades
and perfumes; and no elegant persons
would 60 out into the streets unless they
teemed as no breeding. We differ from
the ancients. Cleanliness of person is

Worry and the Blues.

OF all the enemies to beauty worry is
the most deadly. And, after ALL It is
largely habit. When one stops to fieure
the amount Of energy spent in worry and
to compare with it the amount Of good
that it has accomplished the result is de-
pressing, says the Boston Journal. %
Une reason that many women become
sere and yellow through worry is NOT ha-
b cause their mental troubles are SO great
but because their liyers are out Of order.
Worry and The blues are twin sisters
Iheir aims are bad, and they usually hit
all over the face Of their victim to the
ruin Of its beauty. =. -.

Often cows and livestock in general
lose more by this careless exposure than

The loss comes partly from the cold and
partly from the want of regular and suit

Exhaustion of Soil.


.,When soils become reduced in fertili-
ty," says the Philadelphia Record. there
is always cause, and it is the fault
OF the farmer i'll Il majority of cases.
Many Investigations have been made III
the past. and are still being conducted, to
discover the causes of falling off in the
yields OF crops and to increase the soil
capacity Prof. D. H. Bailey of Cor
nell university agricultural station, has
given much attention to the problem of
impoverished lands, and issued a bulle-
tin on the subject. In his opinion i'm
poverished lands are usually those that
have been neglected. When land has
not been sufficiently titled it becomes
cloddy, hard, irresponsive and foul.
When vegetable matter is withheld from
soils there is a lack of humus, which can
be supplied by the use Of stable manure
rotation of crops, plowing under a sod
occasionally or green crop, will restore
humus, while long-continued cropping
with one crop tends to remove it. The
SOIL may also be wet and cold, or may be-
come acid, which may be remedied by the
ald OF lime, or wood ashes, but the main
cause may be found in lack of Judgment
IN the management of the soil Worn
out SOILS may contain an abundance of
potash and phosphoric acid and lack of
nitrogen, or it may be deficient in potash
CT sulphuric acid, though, as rule. there
is vast amount of potash and phos-
phoric acid in the soil in an unavailable
condition. The growing crops will take
some of these plant foods in the soil,
reducing them slowly, but the work Of
such plants will be largely increased
when the substance lacking is given the

Rar. and Exuuis:t, Shawls.

The Duchess of Northumberland has a
shawl eight yards square which is so fine
it can be folded into an ordinary coffee
cup. 1t is made of the hair of a species
of Persian cat, and thousands of the an
imals lost their beautiful coats to obtain
the material for this particular shawl.
The spinning, weaving and fashioning Of
the shawl required many years of labor.
The wool from which the Bokhara
shawls are made is cut from the breasts
of the camels while the hair is fine and
growing. Great care is taken that not a
hair shall be lost, and it is stored care
fully until enough has been accumulated
to spin. The wool is exquisite and soft,
the yarn spun from it being dyed in the
most beautiful cOl0rs.
The lovely Chudda shawls are to be
found OH sale in this city as fine as those
of the famous fairy godmother's, and,
like hers, they, too, can be drawn through
a finger ring. One family in this city
buys them each year for undergarments.

Weev..l in Wheat.

The director for the Oklahoma expert
ment station says: Considerable COM
plalnt is received at the experiment sta
tion that the weevil is injuring stored
grain, particularly wheat. This can be
stopped by the use of liquid known us
carbon bisulphide. AS purchased at the
drug store the liquid costs about 2j cents
per pound, but can be purchased in uuan-
tity at about 10 cents. plus transport;,-
tion. The liquid evaporates readily at
ordinary temperatures, and the vapor,
being heavier than air, sinks, and is
death to all animal life that breathes it.
although u small amount taken into the
lungs does no injury. The gas is also
highly iniiammable, and therefore not
even Il lighted tobacco pipe or cigar
should be brought into contact with it,
Tor fear that an explosion might result.
To- use the gas the grain to be treated
should be in reasonably tight bins The
gas will not penetrate more than about
three feet in depth in the wheat, and it
should therefore be introduced into the
central part of the bin by fastening a
wire screen over the end of pipe Of suf-
ficient length and forcing the pipe down
and pouring the liquid into the pipe, when
1t may be withdrawn and forced into an
other place. Ii the weevil is working on
or near the top, the liquid may be poured
on to the grain and the bin covered with
blankets or canvas for about twenty-four
hours, when the gas will have nearly or
quite all disappeared. The gas does not
injure the grain for growing or milling
purposes.
