BoyicAs Town.

\ cross old woman Of long ago
Declared that she hated noise:
The town would be 50 pleasant you
know.
IL only there were no hoyS."
She Sc0lded ana frcttcd about II till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead.
And then, of Il sudden, the town grew
still:
For all the boys had fed.
And all through the long and dusty street
There wasn't boy In view:
IN" baseball lot where they used to meet
Was sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base.
And the ll his that the runners made;
For there wasn't a soul In all the puce
Who know how the game was played.
The cherries rottcd ana went to waste
There WAS no one to climb the trees,
Aud nobody had Siugle taste.
Save only the birds ana berS.
There Wasn't messenger hoy-uot one
To speed rs such messengers eau:
II people wanted their crrauds done
They sent for messenger man.
There WAS little, / wccn. OF froic and
noise.
There was less of cheer and miuh:
The sad old town, since It lacked its boys.

Care Of the Hair.

If you wish to have beautiful hair. in
the first place be sure to keep it and the
scalp perfectly clean. When the hair is
not clean it becomes either harsh and
dry or oily and strimgy. Try to shampoo
it once a week. 1t may be a little diff
cult for You to find the time to do this
b::t if your hair is washed once a week
il will not have to be done so thorough
" as when it is shampOoed less often.
For > or 6 cents you can make enough
soap shampoo to last two months.
Me.t a cake Of pure olive SOAP in n
quart Of boiling water. When the soap
is dissolved add heaping teaspoonful
of common washing soda dissolved in n
cup Of hot water; let it stand until cold.
The result Will be almost a jelly.
Take Of this jelly two large tablespoon
fuls. First wet the hair thoroughly with
hot water. then rub the shampoo mix
trre well into the roots. Rinse the hair
we'll in several waters. Then dry it
carefully
Be careful about brushing the hair.
All hair cannot be treated alike, and if
yours is tender and loose at the roots
brushing will cause it to come ont in
patches and you will soon find your hair
very thin. Try gently massaging the
scalp with the tips of the fingers for FIVE
minutes every night and comb it careful
~. taking care not to prll the hair or ir
rltate the scalp in any waY.-COmmercia
Advertiser.

The Athletic Woman
Gives Beauty for Muscle.

This is an age when physical strength
and vigor are as much expected in a
woman as in Il man, and there is no limit
10 The athletic amusementS which she
may take up. Women play tennis, GRO
quet, skate, ride, swim and shoot as well
as men, and cricket is about the only
game in which they do not as yet, in

disappeared, and English women are tall

than those of any other country. The
woman of former days was, as rule,
small, with little bones, and Of delicate
build, whose outdoor amusements We're
limited to walking and gentle riding; but
within the last twenty years all that has
changed. and the English girl Of today

and delights in all out-of-door amuse-
ments.
we have yet to see. however. what
the effect of this violent exercise Is to
be on the unborn generation.
We do not want to dwell in a carpng
or unkind spirit on the appearance OF
women who take part in all violent exer-
ciSeS or sports. bur the result must be to
develop parts of the human frame, which,
however fine in the case of male athletes,
do not increase the beauty and grace or
women. The abnormal development of
muscle, while wonderful. is not beautiful.

is feminine.

Things Worth Knowing.

One of the best lotions for most skins
is homemade liquid that amounts 10
very little, either in expense or time. The
following is a recipe for it: To 1J-cents'
worth of glycerine and rose water and
liquid benZ0in add twice as much warm
water. Shake we'll after mixing, TO pre-
vent the benzoin from cooking and cak-
ing in the bottle. If the liquid is too
thick, add more water. 1t should be put
on the hands every night after they have
been washed i'll warm water and pure
soap. All skins cannot be benefited by
the same lotion, but this is particularly
good.
For the hard. dry flesh that will grow
about the nails use cold cream every
night. Rub it into the nails well. 1t will
soften the flesh and in time cure it en-
tirely of this growth.
A little peroxide of hydrogen rubbed on
the nails occasionally will bleach them.
and will remove the dirt that gets under
the skin about the nail.
Nothing is more beneficial to the hair
whether its nature be dry or 0ily-than
Il shampoo with mild tar soap. 1t bright
ems the color and imparts a beautiful and
desirable sheen.

RELIC OF BURGOYNE'S DAY.
An Ola Corduroy Road Brought to
Light that Recalls His Invasion.

W0rkmen engaged in making cXcaya-
lions for the foundation Of railroad
bridge over the Batcnklll made an inter
esting discovery a short time ago when
they uncovered a corduroy road. con
structcd probably long before bridges
across the Batenkill were thought o.
The old road was found 10 bc in "A fine
state Of preservation.
HcmlGck logs about IL inches in diam
cter were found regularly laid down. and
the uneven spaces between the logs were
leveed mp with tranguiaT-hcWn strips
OF wood. \ deposit of earth ! or > feet
thick covered the whole and directly
above the road a large hcml0ck tree was
growing when the excavation was made.
The presence Of this tree shows couclu-
slvely that tho earth bad been undil-
turbed for more than century.
Without doubt the road dates back TO
the tim" Of BurgoYne'S invasion in III.
and was built by troops under Col. Baum
or some Of his officers.
For century and q quarter the logs
have been hidden by the deposit brought
down by the stream. Their existence
had been forgotten and the exact point
where Baum : Inflated expedition crossed
the BatenkiI has been only legend I'M
til now
1t will be remembered that Bureoync
led his army from Canada into the val
Icy OF tho Hudson, intending To force ms
way DOM the river until he could com
municatc with Gen Ciintou's army,
which was then stationed az New York.
Before he was hcmmed in by the Amer
Jean forces he ordered Col Baum. with
n force If men. to march H. Bennington,
VT, and destroy stores ut that point.
On his march to Bennington Baum
crossed the Batenkill and there * little
doubt that the road lately unc3rihcd was
laid curing his march
Col. Baum met with disaster at Ben
