Do You Know Madam Qui Vive.

Probably you do, for Mime Qui Vive
has a national reputation as an inspir-
ing friend to every woman with a
beauty woe. Her "Woman Beautiful
department in the daily and Sunday
issues of The Chicago Record-Herald is
a perennial source of joyous helpfulness
to womankind. Her instructions on
complexion ills are interlarded here
and there with snappy little epigrams
as "cheerers." The weapons she sug-
gests to beauty seekers for the complete
humiliation of beauty grievances do
not include artificial methods ac-
tory" frizzes, rouge and other::horrors
being barred. She gives instructions
on correct breathing, what to eat, how
to bathe-in brief, how to become a
healthy, wholesome woman. No
wonder she is popularity known to
many thousands of women.

Figs.

After figs have been collected they
are dipped In boiling brine and then
dried on trays for from two to -four
days, according to the weather. The
dipping is supposed to bring the sugar
to the surface and hasten the drying.

in Sweat boxes" holding 1000 pounds
each, where they remain for two weeks.
Then they are washed In cold salt wa
ter to remove all dirt and are packed

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.

The One Young MARK Twain sprung
Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twain's father was an ornithol-
ogist. He had several friends who
were also enthusiasts ON the subject Of
birds. Whenever any one of them dis.
covered a rara avis it was the custom
to have a consultation. Mark had been
witness of several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen. One day it occurred
biologists with real circus in the
form of bird. He killed crow and
also barnyard rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster, he substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro-
ducing a unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing it to him,
said:
Here, father, Is a very curious bird
/ shot. / thought you would be inter.
ested in it,"
4nc Olu upOA lAc
specimen with establishment. That
evening the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
offshoot Of the bird of paradise fam
lily; others had equally ridiculous no.
lions as to its ancestry. But there was
one who refused to be swerved by the
popularity Of the birds tail from the
judgment that it was Of the crow fam
lily.
"Why, just look here" he said, lift
ing the bird by its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was quick closing Of
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
the room.
Gentlemen" he said, please excuse
me few moments. ] will see Samuel
first and explain later"
