Concentration and system are excel
lent qualities especially III work. But
INSTRUMENTATION and overniceness in
clingins to one settled rule tell on the
nerves in the long run. Relaxation is
the Gre:.: I1'.at.le Tat physicians are
trying TO teach women nowadays.
Recreation need not always consist
Of social diversion. of the theater or OF
a shopping trip. although all are ex-
cellent in their way. But people must
vary their routine. Men in business
life usually have this variety, rat nine
women out Of ten, especially house
keeping women, will go through the
same round OF duties and pleasures 365
days in the year.
If you begin to suffer from the de-
preston, the dependency, that SO Of
ten is the precursor of nervous break
down, seek change of some sort. Do
something that you are not accustomed
to do. Get food of new thoughts
and new ideas percolnting through
your mind, and before you know it
you will be laughing at the idea of de-
spondency from imagined illness or
any other Cause.

Tow scissor. Are MADE.

Though no complexities are involved
In the making OF scissors or much sGill
required, yet the process of niaEufuc.
ture Is very Interesting. They are
forged from good bur steel heated TO
redness, each blade being eat on with
sufficient metal TO form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow. or that which later on
is fashioned into the holding portion
For the bow q small hole IL punched
and this is afterward e..aEdcd TO the
REQUIRED size by hamn.. ing il on n
conical anvil, after which both shank
and bow are 6led into u more perfect
shape and the hole bored in the middle
for the rivet. The blades are next
ground and the handles fled smooth
and Furnished with oil and emery,
after which the pairs are fitted to.
gether and tested as to. their easy
working.
They are not yet finished. however,;
they have to undergo hardening and
tcmperng and be again adjusted. utter
which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third time.
In comparing the edges Of knives and
scissors it will be noticed, Of course,
that the latter are not in any way SO
SHARPLY ground as the former. and that
in cutting scissors crush and bruise
more than knives.

wal, Paper Don.ts.

Don't have the woodwork Of room
painted two colors or even two shades
Of one color. One plain color is much
more artistic. AS rule, white paint
is far better than any other. 1t can
always be made to look fresh and
clean II 1t is washed with soup aud
water and will keep in good condition
for many years II the final coat is OF
good ivory enamel. But when 1t does
grow shabby it Is a very easy matter
TO give It one fresh coat If it is white.
says Home Chat
With colored paint there is often a
great difficulty in matching the shade.
The only other color which is univer-
sally useful for woodwork is brown.
This can well be used for halls or din
ing rooms in tint Of oak, mahogany
or walnut
Don't put a cheap wall paper in a
bathroom. 1t should be thick SAM
tary paper, highly glazed and ought
to have final coat of clear yarnish
when 1t is ON the wall. A thin, un-
glazed paper peels of and gets quite
discolored in few months with the
steam arising from the hot water. A
washable distemper is excellent for
coloring the walls of bathrooms.

Yes, it is the nasty habit of pitching
out of the back door pailful and
dipperful now and then Of greasy wa
ter and handful of parings and the
general waste Of the kitchen that
breeds feyers and bilious diseases. The
waste disappears for the most part in
the soil, but that Is the key TO the mis-
chief. The soil gets full after a time
and ferments, and the hot sun breeds
gases which surround and enter the
house. This is true not only Of the
cheaper. poorer houses and careless
families, but well to do. intelligent peo-
pie have spots behind their houses sat
urated with slops. In populous towns
no amount of supervision can prevent
great deal OF filthy evil, but in the
country towns Stops should be carried
out to trees and poured in small guam
titles here and there as fertilizer.
Trees will take up large quantity of
water and be grateful for it. There
must be simply constant intelligence
in the disposal Of waste. ----

Mr.. w. s. Gilbert was no doubt pri-
marlly responsible for the belief which
Is everywhere prevalent that the en-
peror of Japan is always called the
mikado by his people. Ask nine men
out OF ten what is the official title of
the ruler OF the Islands OF the chrysan-
themum and they will probably think
they are being made fun Of. Assure
them that the question is asked in all
sober seriousness and they will give
that OF the title of Mr.. Gilbert's Inn
perinl opera. For all this, the nine
men out Of ten would be wrong. His
majesty is known as "tenno hel-ka,"
which means Ibis imperial majesty"
Thus the people of Japan address their
sovereign exactly as do the subjects
Of the imperious kaiser. Mlkado used
at one time to be the title, for it is the
Oldest form of address in use. 1t has,
however. fallen into abeyance for sew
ernl generations.

graphy on the lakes has been followed

inator Of the system, the latter being at
the Detroit station, says that one OF the
code words agreed upon had been both
sent and received from the Detroit He
said no attempt was made TO transmit

A Severe Cold for Three Months.
ANNOYS THE OFFICIALS
State Department Says 1t Has Made
No Demands on Turkey.

Washington, March 21.-The persistent
circulation of reports that the state de-
partment has made demands upon Tur-
key for reimbursement of the money ex-
pended in the ransom of Miss Stone is
causing a good deal of annoyance to
the officials of that department. 1t can
be stated as a fact that the state de-
partment has made no such demand on
Turkey and consequently the Turkish
government has not fatty refused to pay.
AS already stated, Mr.. Leishman some
time ago lodged caveats with the Turk
ish and Bulgarian governments saving
the right of the United States govern
ment to prefer a demand for reparation
and reimbursement in the Stone case,
when it was able to fix the responsibility
for the abduction. Up to this time the
official reports from Minister Leishman
supplemented by verbal reports from
Spencer Eddy. have not put the state
department in possession Of sufficient
facts to determine the question of re-
sponsiblity.

APPEAL FOR COLLINS
some New Facts Claimed TO Have
DeYeIoned In Case.

Topeka, Kan. March 1.-The attor-
neys for John Collins yesterday fled an
appeal in the supreme court from the
decis on Of Judge Hazen Of the Shaw
nee district court refusing a writ Of
coram nobis, granting a new trial. The
ground on which the writ was asked
was that the time allowed for making
the transcript OF the case was so short
that it could not be accomplished and
as a result Collins was sent 10 the peni-
Tertiary without the benefit OF q re-triai
of the case. Judge Hazen held that if
the time allowed for making the tran
script was short it was the fault OF the
law and could not be remedied. Collins
attorneys make a special plea for a
new trial on the ground that the evil
dence tending 70 prove his innocence
has been discovered. If the supreme
court upohlds Judge Hazens decision
the only hope for Collins for freedom
is through pardon by the governor.
