be sure they are nice"
''Oh, anything to get him well" said the
woman. '.I'm willing to do anything,
and she fetched haIf-dozen fine china plates
that had been her pride.
The gypsy set them out in row, one
after the other, placed her hands on the four
center ones. mumbled some words over them
and said:
Nov, if you will let me take these plates
away with me to destroy them your boy wi!

health, lady. Let me take them, lady, and

And the curious part Of it is the woman

work backward and upward toward the

The vertical burrows which habit, pain OR

the hardest lines of all to efface, and are
manipulated In two ways, one of which is
illustrated. In this, the flesh is picked up
by the second fingers and thumbs, and gent

movement is executed with the first fingers
only, rubbing across the wrinkles in a long,

Today all women are young or middle
aged The old woman is extinct, or nearly
so. This is due partly to the care that
women give their bodies, and one Of the
most effective agencies In the preservation
of youthful good looks is massage.
All sorts and degrees of color are seen in
the compilations that are coming back to
town. Some are tawny as Indians, many
have a skinlike parchment, and the skins
of others resemble tanned leather. A few

Portable Ironing Case.

Ironing in it's best estate could never be
said to have about it any of the favor of

She has arranged what she calls a port

Imprison the Machine.

A distinctly original suggestion Is
made by the Brooklyn Eagle in con-
nection with the automobile problem.
It is that the machine, not the man,
be punished for exceeding the speed
limit. When motor vehicle goes
tearing through the streets on an er-
rand of actual or potential destruction,
the scheme is not to touch the owner
or driver, but to seize the machine
and imprison it for a number
Of weeks or months. Of course,
in such a case, the usual option of
thirty dollars or thirty days"
should not be given, as some Of
the wealthy owners would pay the
fine cheerfully and not consider it
much of a punishment. But almost
any possessor of an automobile would
be heart broken at having his ma
chine taken away from him and tenn
porarily put out of business, and one
or two experiences Of that kind might
have a wholesome effect. The great
majority of mobolists are considerate
and law-abiding, but there are hood
lums and rufians among them who
need some sort Of discipline. The
Eagles idea is commended to the at
tention of the public authorities

Well Broken Horses.

Has anyone ever noticed that ST.
lent man has usually the best broken
horses? 1t may not be true, but all
the men Of my acquaintance who do
not talk much have well broken
horses. Drive with them and you
will wonder how they manage their
horses. No management is visible.
The horse goes where he is wanted
without apparent effort on the part
OF the driver. One famous turfman
at least has been noted for his art in
driving a horse to the limit OF his
speed without making move, while
his rivals were lifting and yelling and
whipping theirs. How did he do it?
Don't know, but he was a man of few
words.
Probably there is a lesson in this.
The average horse. understands but a
few things thoroughly, only a few
words, signs or commands. The ST.
lent man gives only few, and he does
not confuse his horse. The horse is
made to know them thoroughly. He
understands the man who under
stsnds him. 1t is a pleasure to drive
q horse that understands. Few pleas
ures in life can equal it if the horse
is q good, cheerful driver. There
would be more Of this kind if they
were made to know a few things thor
oughly-the right things.-National

Hens on a Small Lot.

We are often asked if it is possible
to keep hens successfully on small
town lot To the question we would
answer: Certainly, yes; if not too
many are kept. In fact, we have Oh
ten wondered why so few people IN
cities and towns, who are really so
comfortably situated, do not keep l0
or Is hens.
This number can easily be provided
for in q yard 20 by 40 feet, and this
much can easily be spared and still
leave plenty of room for other pur-
poses. One roll of fve-foot poultry
netting will serve for fence, and ar
rangements for housing will cost but

out and set against each other, Will

sence Of something better, will do sur

buy early hatched pullets or one-year-
old hens, and look carefully after
them, and they will supply the family
with eggs throughout the winter.

to raise a few broods Of chicks, the
males for the table and the pullets for
the layers. You will find the cost very

Science in Agriculture.

Some important and interesting
points on the planting, breeding and
selection Of seed corn are given in a
bulletin by the Illinois agricultu-
raj station, and while our corn crop
IS just now one of the most important
in the country, it is timely to call at
tention to the best conclusions of the
best experts in corn culture. Special
attention is given to the selection OF
seed corn, which will make all the diff
ference in the world in the annual
crop Of the country. A little more
wisdom and intelligence are required
in the uniform selection of right seed
corn, so that in time every ear will
be full and plump, and large number
on each cob. The yield per acre could
in this way be increased greatly with
out planting a single additional grain
OF corn. Some of the best varieties
of seed corn are today far better than
anything planted 10 or Is years ago,
and this is due to the fact that they
have been carefully selected and cul-
tivated for 25 years, past until their
type and characteristics are pretty
veil fixed. Argument is given for
adisreed corn. Not much of this is
used yet. but more of it may be nee
essary to teach all farmers the great
value of using the finest seed corn

Foo and the Fair Sex.

We are having very heavy fogs at
night and morning. I have seen the
British stars overhead on but three
occasions. It usually clears of for
the greater part of the day, but the fog
sweeps in the night like wet blanket.
They tell me it is only "a spell Of wea-
ther" and that fine evenings will be
the order of things very soon. 1t Is
very demoralizing to "crimps," l OBJ
serve. And often think of the dear
girl who told me that she lost all her
mental and moral force Of character
during atmospheric conditions that
were unfavorable to retaining the hair
in curl. And, by the way, what beau
tiful hair the Canadian girl possesses
as a rule! I observed this feature
when in Ontario, at Toronto and the
Thousand Islands. Sometimes they
have too much to do up prettily and
can only coil it in shining brown or
golden braids. There is a great pre-
ponderance of gold red and gold
brown. wonder if it is due to their
ancestry from Auld Scotia, their an
cient namesake? Fine compilations
are the rule also. have just had the
