There were many peculiar circum-
etances to lend FEASIBILITY to this re-
markable tale. It is well known that
the fifth Duke of Portland was an ex-
ceedingly eccentric character, and that
he did honeycomb the grounds about
Welbeck Abbey with great chambers
and long passages. The building in
London occupied by the bazaar of the
elder bruce was also undermined with
labyrinth of tunnels, whose purpose
was not apparent on casual observa-
ton.
It was alleged the duke was in the
habit OF disappearing periodically from
Welbeck Abbey, making his escape by
means of one of the mysterious sub
terranean passages which he had con-
structed at great expense. 1t was sup
posed there was an outlet known only
to himself. so that his going and COM
ing might be kept profound secret.
He led the solitary life of sad bache-

into his confidence. He disappeared at
unexpected moments without warning
and reappeared quite as mysteriously.

1t is sad parody on life to see a
man earning his living by vocation
which has never received his approval.
1t is pitiable to see youth, with the
image of power and destiny stamped
upon him, trying to support himself in
mean, contemplate occupation,
which dwarfs his nature, and makes
him despise himself; an occupation
which is constantly condemning him,
ostracizing him from all that is best
and truest in life. Dig trenches, shovel
coal, carry hod; do anything rather
than sacrifice your self-respeot, blunt
your sense of right and wrong, and
shut yourself off forever from the true
Joy of living, which comes only from
the consciousness of doing ones best.

them in flesh by giving them shorter

BAKED Milk.

When offering food and drink to the
invalid, one should avoid things very
sweet and very sour, as they are often
very hurtful to weak stomachs Most
sick people can take milk, but in many
cases it is not well to give it raw.
Baked milk is good and may be taken
fearlessly into the most delicate stom-
ach. To prepare this properly put two
quarts of fresh sweet milk in a jar

when the Eyebrows Fall ont.

The moment the eyebrows begin to
come out you should use tincture Of
cantharides or some other hair invigo-
ratOr.
a celebrated expert recommends the
following mixture to be rubbed on gen
tly with a small brush: Tincture of
rosemary, 10 grams; tincture of can
tharidcs. 10 grams; spirits of fore
vanti, 100 grams; camphorated alco-
hol, 100 grams.
TO thielen and lengthen the lashes
use the following treatment:
For three months, every fifteen days,
with very fine curved scissors cut the
ends of the lashos Just a little; then
every night, after having used boracic
acid to thoroughly wash the eyes and
their surroundings, rub the lashes gen
tly with yellow vaseline or petroleum.
This treatment done regularly really
gives most satisfying results.

great. but do you ever cause unneces-
