MIRROR IS DECEPTIVE.
Every Woman who Depends Upon
the Shining Glass IL . Victim Of
Misplaced Confidence.

Ones reflection in mirror never
does one justice. Comfortable thought
for the plain and pretty alike! Com
plexion, expression and color are all
really better than the shining glass
makes them appear. Let not her to
whom nature has been sparing of her
charms despair. If she would see
herself in the deceptive mirror as
Others see her with the eye, or as near
ly as possible, let her hasten to q
Diapers shop and buy a quantity of
soft, pure white material-gauze, if
possible; if not, swiss or india muslin
will answer very well.
Be sure to have it pure white, and,
after polishing the surface of the mir
ror, gather the material at the center
of the top and bring it down softly at
either side, framing the glass in folds
of pure white. When this is done to
artistic satisfaction, peep in and see
what a transformation, suggests an
exchange. The true tints of the COM
plexion, the expression of the coun-
tenance and the eyes, the correct color
of the hair will be very accurately re-
flected. This is one of the milliner's
oldest secrets. Many of the most art
full of them drape the glasses in the
softest drapery of pure white. It is
done with the view of giving their fair
patronesses the best view of the1.-
selves possible, administering in this
way q little subtle flattery.

DOG TAXED BY CHILD.
Eastern Community, - Wax N
the Hanas q . BABY.

A little boy, scarcely more than 8.
baby, living at Roxbury, Mass, has
succeeded in tanning q fierce St. Ber-
nard dog that has been terror in the
neighborhood for more than year
past. Grown people could do moth
ing with the animal. He was savage ct
all times and used to attack the chill
dren as they were passing his masters
house. Mr.. Miller. who owned the
great brute, tried to get rid of him,
but could not, for ~ often as he was
given away he came back to the house
where he was not welcome.
AT last the fierce nature of this dog
has been changed and it was little
babe who conquered it. He was
brought over to Roxbury by Mr..
Hauer, to whom Mr.. Miller gave him,
muzzled. He did not make friends
with his new master or mistress, but
was more ferocious than ever.
Even Mr.. Hauer thought him now to
be mad. The dog was unmuzzled and
pushed into room in the garnet.

HOW FISHES BREATHE.
Keep the blood Warm Enough
to sustain Life.

The gills of fish are situated at
the back part of the sides of the
head, and consist of number of
+; vascular membranes, which are gem
orally in double, fringe-like rows,
fixed by the base only; sometimes
these are featherlike, and sometimes
they are mere folds of membrane at
tached at each end over the gill cayi-
ties. In general, there are four gills
on each side, though in some fish
there are more. In fishes that have
bones the gills are attached to the
outer edge of bony arches connects
ed with the bone of the tongue and
with the base of the skull, the con-
nection at each end being by inter-
vening small bones, while the cavi-
ty containing the gills on each side
of the head is covered by bony
plate with two subordinate pieces.
1t is by the movement of these bony
plates that the water is expelled
which is taken in through the mouth.
and which, after passing amSng the
gills and supplying them with air,
passes out by the gill openings at the
back of the head.
The fish is cold-blooded animal
that is, it's temperature is very slight
ly above that of the water in which
it lives, and it therefore needs but
little oxygen to keep the blood warm
enough to sustain it's life.
This oxygen, supplied to the blood
by the gills in respiration, is not OBJ
tanned by decomposing the water, but
by separating the air from it. 1t is.
therefore, necessary that the water
in which fish live should be supplied
with air, and this is one of the di-
rect benefits of the agitation of
oceans and lakes by winds.
Fishes confined in aquariums often
die for this very reason-because the
water is not aerated. They consume
all the oxygen in the closed vessel in
which they are placed, and no more
being supplied, they die, and may be
said to be drowned, because they per-
ish from the same cause that occa-
sions death by drowning i'll lung

SOME BEAUTY HINTS.
4 Timely Little Sermon .. aEp,x.--
al Etaics,, OF How Not to
Wash the Eace.o

There are three dont's involved in
the first lesson in face washing: /.
Don't use a sponge. 2. Don't use q
crash wash-cloth. And the third and
greatest of these is: Don't use very
cold water. The first because it is
almost constantly wet, is full of germs
insidiously poisonous to the skin. The
second irritates and is not permeative
enough to cleanse thoroughly. Keep
your washcloth for the soles of your
feet. if you must use one, for tradi-
TONS sake. Cold water shocks the
skin and roughens it by closing the
pores.
The face should be washed in tepid
water if one is going Immediately out,
and At other times in water as hot
as one can stand it. Hot water 10
stimulating and cleansing. Bathing
the face in it will remove the lines
from a tired woman's face as effec-
tually as half-hour's sleep.
Rub the face with antisept:c gauze
"a fresh piece .frequently-and if
blackhead's exist, fine camel's hair
complexion-brush used vigorously
with some pure vegetable soap every
night will do great deal toward rout-
ing them. In washing the face always
rub from the chin up, from the eyes
in and from the forehead toward the
temples. The face should be washed
with soap at night only, then rubbed
with pure cold cream or some lano-
line preparation. This little attention
given to the face every night is abso-
lutely essential to clean skin and
healthy pores.
Hot milk is an excellent tonic for
the face and continued application of
it will render the skin as smooth and
velyety as a baby's cheek. In the
morning immense the face in warm
water to which have been added few
drops of benzoin. Dry the face with
soft linen towel. Don't rub. Just
pat. You are not employees of Turk

the soil is not glued to your face. 1t
will come off without taking the skin
with it if you will use intelligence and
hot water in persuading it.-Adele o.

citing Than Catching a shark or
Even . TarpOn.

Boys who have never seen an alli-
gator in his haunts, much less par
ticipated in chase after one, would
be greatly interested in Florida
gator hunt. Pretty soon these af-
fairs will be things of the past. The
young Chicagoan who would like to
pull big fellow out of his lair must
hurry or it will be too late, for the
days of this species of the crocodile
are growing short. To such an OK
tent has the reptile been hunted for
his hide and teeth that he has be-
come scarce product of the tropical
gulf region.
Not only have the larger ones been
caught, but nests have been robbed
and the eggs sold as curiosities. The
eggs are laid in the sand, where they
hatch in six weeks if they escape the
ravages of the egg hunter. But even
then there is danger for the little
fellow, for no sooner does he poke
his nose through the shell than q
human eye spies him, captures him
and finally sells him to tourist, who
ships him away to some northern
friend.
Alligators do not stay in salt wa
ter; they live in caves along the
many creeks tributary to the river,
feeding in the big stream only at
night. Nowadays various distances
must be traversed before q capture
is effected. In past years they have
been captured by the thousand.

is the Indian river genius of the

witness his prowess. He has steam
launch at his command and with q
party of all the way from 20 to 40
river on his exciting mission.
One after another of the caves
known as haunts of the game is Wis
tied. Barfield, who has an experience
of 16 years as gator hunter, has
learned to initiate the peculiar bark
of the animal. Approaching cave
he utters q succession of sounds
which serve to coax the game out of
the cave.
All is excitement among the ON
lockers about this time. Everyone is
craning his neck to catch q first
glimpse of the monster. No sooner
does ne poke his huge nose out of his
den than Sam, who has remained out
of sight, grabs the big fellow by the
jaws and in twinkling slips rope
muzzle over them. An experienced
gator man has no fear of being bit
ten, though the vicious brute would
chew him up did he get the chance.
The jaws being safely tied so thai
biting is impossible, the legs are
manacled with ropes, and then the
alligator is towed to Rockledge,
where the visiting pcpulace gather
at the dock to see the captive and
hear the details of the hunt.
Barfield is one OF the most inter-
esting characters about the resort.
The visitors gather about his little
palm matched cabin to hear him tell
of his various captures, for besides
being an alligator hunter he has
killed more rattlesnakes than any
other hunter in Floridas In his cabin
is imprisoned an alligator which he,
says is $50 years old. 1t is l2 feet
long
In cage in the cabin is a gray
eagle of huge size. The proud bird
came near meeting his end the other
day. The alligator had poked hole
in, the wire screen covering the cage
and had craw1ed halfway into the
box when Barfield discovered the sit
uation. The eagle had huddled up
in one corner of the cage and was the
most badly scared bird in Florida
