Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-12-04

Perhaps the best way to read history
is to take up the life Of some great fig
ure that attracts our Imagination and
be drawn by that into the study of the
general stage upon which he was only
a single actor, says Success. Certainly
1t is not good plan to begin with
those elaborate documentary histories
in which you cannot see the wood for
the trees. It is better to be wrong in
a few Of your facts or even contract
bias from some partisan historian than
to lose yourself in morass of docu.
ments. The best histories are the WV
idest. If they occasionally lead you
astray, you can always correct them
by the more sober colored chronicles
Macaulay may have been prejudiced,
and go may Froude, and SO undoubted-
ly was Carlyle; so, again, was Gibbon;
yet, none the less, these are the great
historians, the historians who set you
upon the peaks Of time and enable you
to see history as 1t lies beneath in wide
views and broad masses.

A Tack In His Throat.

Cecil Hull. a fifteen-year-old boy OF
Denver, was seized with violent fit Of
coughing the other day which lasted
for threequarters of an hour, at the
end Of which time he coughed up a
brass carpet tack half inch long
which he had swallowed when a child
Of four. Efforts were made at the time
to remove it, but without success. For
eleven years he has had bronchial trou.

that fears were had for his life Since
the tack was removed he has been
steadily regaining his health.

To an artists eye the sharpness and
the abundant details Of what is ordi-
narily regarded as fine photograph
are things to be avoided. Amateur pho
tographers sometimes share this i'm
preston and seek in various ways to
impart breadth and artistic feeling to
the productions of their cameras. The
late George M. Hopkins, widely known
for his contributions to experimental
science, suggested very simple meth.
Cd Of obtaining soft. ethereal effect
in photograph by means Of trans
lucent ground grass slide through
which the exposure Is made. In this
manner a negative is obtainable from
which the finer details have been cut
out, while the lights and shades are
mellowed and broad effect Is secured.
Such photographs when artistically
colored produce nearly the impression
Of painting.

GLOVE POINTERS,

How to Put Them ON and the Best
Kind to buy.
The way I'm which glove is first
drawn on and shaped to the hands
has much to do with both it's beauty
and durability, says the San Francisco
Examiner. Unless you have ample
time do not have them fitted at the
shop, but at leisure draw them on az
here recommended, and II possible
wear them half an hour without clos
ing the fingers.
When the hands are at all moist,
they should be powdered. Insert all
the fingers and work them on evenly,
leaving the thumb loose until the I'm
gers are fully In place. Then insert
the thumb and work the glove down
smoothly over the hand.
In buttoning glove the greatest
strain comes upon the first button, SO
before attempting to fasten this but
ton the others, commencing with the
second one, then the Others lastly the
first.
Do not begin at the tips of the fin
gers to pull them of. Turn back the
wrists and draw them OF inside out,
but on no consideration leave them In
this shape or roll them. Turn them
right side out, smooth lengthwise and
put away by themselves, with strip
Of flannel under and between them.
In buying gloves there are more i'm
portant questions than their color
and the number Of buttons to be con-
stdered. Black gloves are generally
less elastic than white or colored ones,
and cheap grades are dear at any
price.
Dressed kid usually retains it's fresh
ness longer and is more durable than
suede. The best and most serviceable
kid is soft. yielding and elastic. A
glove 80 small that it cramps the hands
and prevents grace Of motion gives
poor service. Short fingered gloves are
ugly and certain to break soon between
the fingers, II not at their tips.

Many Uses to which an Iridescent
Shell IN lut


Travellers in the Philippines and
HonGkoug are now beginning to BRING
with them to this country curios which,
promise to become very popular. They
are irregular plates of mother Of pearl

in thickness and from by inches up
to IL by "a. The cOmmonest kind 10

wonderful iridescence, which is as
marked as that of the opal. The rarer
and more expensive kinds are carved

times by diving and sometimes with
graphing irons from small boat or
raft. Nearly every shell fishery is
owned by wealthy native Or chief,
who employs expert divers either at
small wage or upon commission.
When the living shells are taken from
the water. they are washed carefully
and then thrown into pots Of boiling
water. A few minutes immersion kills
the living animals within, when the
shells are removed from the pot and
the mollusk cut away with sharp
knife. The dead body Is not wasted,
the finer qualities being sailed and
dried and sold for food. The larger
ones are chopped up and given to pigs
and poultry, which devour them eager
ly. The next operation is the splitting
Of each shell or the removal of the
rough and ugly exterior. Some varie-
ties can be split, although the opera
ton is said TO require great skill. From
others the backs are removed by grind
ing on grindstone. The irregularities
on the face of the shell are cured by
some secret process. They are then
polished and are ready for the market
or for the shell carver. So far as is
known there are no Philippine carvers
Of any great merit. Their workman

The finer grades of shell are sent over
to the mainland to Annoy, Canton or

THE USE OF MYRRH.

How to Cure Colds and Other ALL
meats With 1t.
The catarrhal conditions which come
with fall winds and are the unkindest
foes to good looks can be warded off
by two precautionary keeping thor
| oughly warm and the use of antiseptic
perfumes. The care Of the nose and
throat is not merely devoir to clean
illness; 1t prevents hundred forms Of
nervous ailments, says the Plttsburg
Preas. Two or three times daily the
nose should be washed out with warm
water and cdean soap on thin hand
kerchief and rinsed with diluted Law
ender water applied either by spray or
on fine linen. This with a gargle Of
myrrh prevents all the mischief to the
mucous membrane which appears in
cold sores, snihlings and snuf1ings
which make ones society avoided.
A touch of dilute myrrh tincture on
cold sore will make short work Of it,
and three drops Of tincture of myrrh
in three half pints Of water, applied by
putting the wet handkerchief over the
eyes, will improve the sight and take
away the blur and teary expression
which gives such an aged look to the
eyes.
II the glance Is brilliant, clear and
steady, one will always leave the i'm
press Of youth. Steaming the eyes
with very little myrrh in the hot wa
ter is beneficial and Strengthening to
the sight. But the uses Of myrrh do
not end here. Thin sachets of 1t,
quilted into silk and worn over the
stomach and abdomen, are wonderful
prophylactics against intermittent fe-
vers and alterations. Myrrh thorough
ly used hardens the flesh and prevents
the accumulation of flabby adipose. A
teaspoonful Of myrrh in powder, quilt
ed between the old rose or heliotrope
flannel lining Of silk underskirt, in a
measure prevents the accumulation Of
flesh about the waist. 1t simply en-
balms the tissues of living as we'll as

Washing moist palms with little
tincture in hot water keeps them in
better order, and little myrrh rubbed
up in cold cream is perhaps the best
to be rubbed between the
toes and over the nails to keep them
fresh in all senses.
