Milk As a Beautllier

only growing thin" her vis-a-vis re-
sponded, reassuringly. THAT is what
.ails more women than you could shake
a stick at. They work too hard and
cat the wrong things Those little
lines crossing and recrossing are
caused by the shrinkage of the soft
padding beneath the skin those little
lines that begin to run from the nose
to the mouth and age a woman more
than any other one thing-if you had
kept up your flesh, they would not be
there. Women will do anything but
rest and eat. They will lead the strenu-
Gus life. and then insist on wandering
why they lose their good looks. A glass
ol hot milk every night before retiring
would do more to keep away the crows
feet than half the cosmetics they are

Good Words for FonIard

No woman ought to be without q
foulard gown. for foulard is
the coolest of materials the
most comfortable TO wear and, be-
sides these advantages. Il may un-

durable of all the thin stuffs. Many
think Il at its very prettlest when IN

haps the most popular is red, figured
with white while dark blue treated in
a similar fashion runs very close as
first favOrite. Foulard has been very
noticeable feature on all serge gowns
and light cloth gowns, and has been In
variability used as a lnotted scarf under
the collar, or as a waistband which
shall bear tasseled ends. The tasself
made of the same material as the gown
of taffeta, foulard or chiffon, have Late

The human stomach possesses most
wonderful powers Of adaptation to cir

and his eighteen men were cast or
from the Bounty by the mutineers in
an open boat, they subsisted for forty
one days on a daily allowance Of one
twenty-fifth of a pound Of biscuit per
man and a quarter Of pint Of water.
DR.. Tanner in 1880 tasted for forty
days, subsisting, it is said, on water

the fat boy in "Pickwick" may well
be quoted as fearful examples Of vo-

For the August Born

The sardonyx is the birth stone for
August. and there are numerous fetch
ing pieces Of jewelry set with it, which
would be acceptable to the girl who
celebrates her birthday this month.
"a watch fob with a pendant in the
form of a scarab cut from sardonyx
will help her avert the calamity Of
Giving unloved and lone" which will
overtake her should she neglect TO wear
her supersutiously assigned gem some
where about her person. On the back
Of the beetle are carved queer hero
glyphies, which, presumably, add TO
the powers OF the sardonyx as a tails
manic gem. Twin scarabs-one of sard-
donyx, the other OF bloodstone-set one
above the other. make a fashionable
pendant. and even more so is a fob
composed of FIVE scarabs, cut from as
many different stones, sardonyx, blood
stone matrix. Chinese jade, malachite
and labIadOrite.
A lovely bracelet is of Egyptian gold
having i'm the centre a sardonyx carved
with the head OF the Egyptian goddess
Isis; the gold on each side OF the gem
is wrought in a design of the lotus, 9

The popular long chain comes with
it in golden links strung with little
pendants of all sorts of stones, incmd

MODIFIED MILK FOR SICK AND WELL BABIES

not gaining In weight, something Is the
matter with his food. The most usual
error in feeding is beginning at birth
with too strong a milk mixture. The
cream used should be raised at home
as cream purchased as such Is often
older than the milk with which it is
mixed. In preparing the mixture, for
which a certain number OF ounces OF
cream or milk are called for, one
ounce dipper made for this particular
purpose is most useful. The latest
preference in the medical profession as
to a diluent Is one OF the digested
gruels, with boiled water as second
choice There should be slight changes
now and then-from wheat TO oatmeal
Cruel. and from that to barley, with a
teaspoOnful of beef juice or orange
Juice once in a while. The reason is
that the nursing baby gets constant,
slight variation IN his milk owing to
the varying diet OF his mother.
Children are often fed on condensed
milk in summer, owing to the lack Of
ice, or even all the year around on
account Of the smaller expense. Babies

Modified milk is cows milk which

milk contains over twice as much pro-

A STORY OF CESAR
The Quality Of Mercy as Exercised by the
Great Roman, w

Cesar Travelled with the retinue Of a
man OF rank. and on his way TO
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Egean, his vessel is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island of the Ca
rian coast, which was then in their pos
session, and there he was detained for
six weeks with three Of his attendants.
while the rest Of his servants were
sent to tina nearest Roman station to
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He Joined In their sports, played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom, a very large one, about
10000, was brought and paid. Caesar
was set upon the mainland, near Mi
letus, where, without a moments
delay, he collected some armed vessels,
returned to the island, seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plunder, and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat Of government in
the Asiatic province, where they were
convicted and crucified. Clemency was
not q Roman characteristic. 1t was
therefore noted with some surprise
that Caesar interceded to mitigate the
severity of the punishment The poor
wretches were strangled before they
were stretched on their crosses and
were spared the prolongation Of their
torture.-James Anthony Froude.
