ADVICE FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
Don't Accept Amy Strange Mans Story About Himself, No Matter How
 Attractive.

With the practically unlimited free- dom nowadays accorded to young women which, in the main, is no doubt good thing, acquaintances are sometimes too unconventionally made and alliances too quickly con tracted with men of whom there is little or nothing really known. He gives plausible account of himself and tells true-sounding story of
 his home and antecedents, and the girl falls into the clutches of an un- principled scamp. Too late she learns her mistake which her sisters may avoid if they will never form friendships or marriages with men whose records and percentage are not absolutely known to them or their friends. Don't accept any strange mans story about himself, no matter how attractive, prosperous, cultured or pious he may appear. Investi- gate before confding. Smarter girls than you have been fooled, admon- ishes American Queen.
 Again, if you have known your lover from childhood, be in no haste to wed him. You may both be high ly respecta ble, even valuable, mem bers of society, but you may be en- tirely unsuited to each other. If you are young, test your love and his by at least a years engagement. Your present ardor may cool off in year or so and show you both that you never ought to be anything more to each other than pleasant ac- quaintances. Love-if it is the real thing will keep, and it is far better to break an engagement than to sever the marriage tie.
 Young men and girls alike are apt to be reckless and headstrong ill their teens, and they should be brought to understand that in a few years their Ideas will undergo, con- siderable change, their Judgment will mature and many persons and suD- jects that quite captivated them at the age of 19 will have little inter- est for them as they approach 30.
 The more frank, sincere and unas- stunning lovers are in each others company the better the chances of marital happiness, and there is no doubt that there would be fewer un- fortunate matches made if lovers were but more open and less given to deceiying each other Deceive your fiance in any way or withhold from him knowledge which he is en- titled to before joining himself to you, and your sin will assuredly re- bound upon you with terrible retri- button. It never fails.
 Extravagance in both sexes is an- other very common cause of failure in marriage. Few young people of the present day are willing to begin married life as their parents did simply, frugally, industriously, and in the honest hope of raising good family. They want 8 grand estac- lishment, fine clothes and servants and an easy and entertaining exist ence with as little responsibility as possible In a word, they want to indulge the most highly cultivated gelfshness. 1t is almost needless to say that this cannot possibly lead to happiness.

REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONS.
There Are stiI1 Seven Persons Draw
 ing xMoney from the Govern X ment on old Account.

Nearly 120 years have elapsed since the revolutionary war came to an end. The last survivor of the thou sands of men who took part in that great struggle for liberty died more Uncle Sam's pension rolls the names of seven persons each of whom has been granted small sum of money monthly on account of it, says a Washington report.
 Three of the seven are the only sur viving widows of revolutionary sol diers. The other four are daughters and are pensioned by special act of congress. The widows are: Re becca Mayo, aged -s9 years, of New burn, Va; Nancy Jones, aged 88 years, of Jonesboro, Tenn, and Esther s. Damon, aged sS years, of Plymouth Union, Vt.
 Rebecca Mayo. whose maiden name was Rebecca Dawson, is the widow of Stephen Mayo. whom she married in Virginia, on November 24, 1894, when she was 26 and and he TT years of age. Her husband enlisted as pri- vate in Virginia regiment in 1776, and served three or four months. He enlisted again in February, 1777, and served for one year. He participated in the battles of Brandywine and Ger mantown. In 1892, at the age of 75 years, he made application for pen sion, which was allowed. He died in 1847, and the same year application was made by his widow and her claim was allowed.
 Nancy Jones is the widow of Oar ling Jones, who served for nine months as private in North Caro- lima regiment and was in the battle of Monks CorneR and also in some skirmishes with the Cherokee Indi- ans. Her maiden name was Nancy Huff. She married in Carter County, Tenn, at the age of 25 years, her husband being 6s years of age. MT. Jones was drawing a pension at the time of his death in 1S4S. Her claim was allowed in 1853.
 Esther s. Damon, who was former 1y Esther Sumner, married Noah Da- mon at Bridgewater, Vt, in 1895, when she was B years of age and he. 75. MT. Damon enlisted at Milton, Mass, in 1755, as private, and served nearly two years. He was wounded at the battle of Long Island, and was granted pension in 1s4s. He died in 1853, and she was pensioned as his widow.

PLENTY OF LEMON JUICE.
If Taken i'm Abundance 1t Is a Surc Cure for That Terrible
 Rheumatsana.

The idea of treating rheumatism with lemon juice appears to have had it's rise in Germany. The method con sists in swallowing the juice of one lemon on the first day, of two on the second day., and so on progressive up to 25 lemons. When this limit is reached the number of lemons is pro- gressively diminished, says the New York Herald.
 MT. Desplats, of Lille, has recently adopted this treatment with some of his patients who suffered from articu- lar rheumatism. Tn one case the pa at three lemons. Tn another he sue ceeded in effecting cure at 25 lemons so complete and so persistent that at the end of ten months the patient had not once had an attack, whereas pre- viously he had suffered periodically every month. The third case was one of 1ankylosis, so bad that the patient could not dress himself without help. To-day he has almost entirely recov- from pain.
 M. DSSplaLS mas also Jr1eu LnlS mOue of treatment on patient suffering from attacks of rheumatism accom- panied by disease of the heart, for which all means adopted had proved merely palliative. After few days the patient experienced manifest re- lief of the articular symptoms, but he also experienced pain in the upper right side of the thorax, the pain be- ing extremely great and tenacious. In another case there was the same improvements, though in a less marked degree, and the pain in the thorax made it's appearance at the end of the treatments. A third case gave the same results. Another pa tient suffering from rheumatism that had proved refractory to sa1icylate and to<thyroid when treated with cit- ric acid in doses of from two to ten grammes daily improved considers bly,.
 Whatever interpretation may be placed on the action of lemons in gem eral and citric acid in particular, these results are, beyond question, interest ing to chronicle.

Qneen,a Pet Parrot.

The late queen of the Belgians used to have a favorite parrot. When it first arrived at court, some two or three years ago, it mortified the cour- tiers by shrieking out such treason able expressions as Down with the pasteboard king!" and .sVive la re- publique!" Poor Poll was sentenced to death by strangulation by the in- dignant lords in waiting, but the queen intervened and set herself to teach the parrot to cry ''Vive le roil 2. and other local phrases. Her lessons were soon successful, and the bird became as entirely royalist as it had previously been republican Chicago Post.

FASHIONS MANDATES.
Some of the Latest Ideas i'm MilIin cry and Dress Materials Now {
 In Vogue.

Various attractive shades of brown are exceedingly prominent among this years most swagger millinery and 1t is a muchs later fashion than the gray, favored for some seasons past, reports the Chicago Daily News.
 There has been a decided feeling for plain tulle veils in brown, blue and white, crossing at the back and tying in a bow in front. This is merely a fad of fashion, but at tho same time 1t is avery becoming one which has great advantages when the wearer is motoring or travelling. To begin with, it keeps the hat on, and shelters the hair from the dust.
 Chestnut burs and tomatoes are sharing honors with radish and columbine in millinery. Such deco rations sound very homely, but since women must be arrayed, and every thing else has been worn threadbare. the modistes have now taken them selves to the vegetable domain. Where will they go next? The rad- ish is in make fac-simile to nature, and looks dainty upon the felt or fur felt hat. The chestnut bur is really elegant. At present the tomato is little heavy, but before long it also will be perfected.
 Light tea gowns are much moro fashionable than those of dark tints. White, pink, pale blue and yellow are the favored shades and they are invariably on the picturesque order in design.
 Plaids are well worn, though they have not been taken so eagerly by women at large as the makers and merchants anticipated. However. that is not stating that they will be such failures after Christmas. Modes are so fickle at Paris that just as likely as not Scotch plaids will be seized with a rush after women be- come tired of the first winter styles. The most beautiful plaids are those sn green, the blocks truly immense.
 Nothing seems to take the place of cloth when it comes to fashionable tailor suits, and in reality nothing is richer in effect. Fancy home gpuns, with colored chenille dots, are very popular, but these nouveautes are generally short-lived They make comfortable dresses, however. and when finished in lace or embroi- dery are very smart. Gray is suc- cessful color with homespun, also dark red, with coarse warp or dot of lighter red chenille.

THE SMELLING : EXPERT.
a Valuable Man in the Perfumery Line Earns HiS Living by Fol-
 lowing Ills Nose.

One of the curious trades of New York is that of the smelling expert, 8 man who earns his living literally by following his nose. He is em- ployed by manufacturers of perfum- cry. It is his business to judge of the character, quality and value of the materials that go to the making of perfumes, says the. New York Sun.
 Much of the perfumery made in this country is imported from France in the form of pomatums, and extracted with alcohol The smelling expert judges the quality of pomatums. An- other and even more remarkable part of his business is to examine popular imported perfume, determine from the smell of what it is made, and en- able his employer to produce it here.
 Like the experts of the distillers, who will take any given wine or spir- its, and after examination produce 8 counterfeit which only connoisseur could detect as such, the smelling ex pert by means of his unerring nose makes possible the production here of any perfume that it is desired! to irsi- tate.
 Possessed of so valuable nose, he takes the utmost care of it. He does his best to avoid taking cold, and guards himself with special care when the influenza comes round. A single bad cold may disable his nose for weeks and throw him out of employ ment. He avoids also. as far as possi- ble, all strong odors, good or bad, to preserve the delicacy of his olfactories.
 The profession on the whole is less injurious to health than that of the tea taster or the wine taster.

VIGOROUS APPLE TREES.
Some in Connections That Were Blown Down, But Survived for 7
 Three Score Years After. !.

In the year 1727 an apple tree was planted in Connecticut, near Ston- ington. Three years afterward it was grafted, as is supposed, with scions from g Roxbury russet tree. In the great September gale of 1915 the tree was blown over, but lived for threescore years longer before the body succumbed to decay. At the same time one of the branches that touched the ground took root and vigorous sprout grew up. Grad- ually the old trunk decayed and ten years later was entirely routed away, while, like the mantle of Elijah fall ing on Elisha, the whole treetop was left resting upon the young sprout, with it's new, strong roots. The tree, after it's prolonged life of a century and three-quarters, Is, or was re- cently, fourishing with renewed wig or and bearing fruit.
 The orchard of the writer's father contained an apple tree which was uprooted in the same memorable gale of 1915, says Hartford corre- spondent of the Farmer, but a mass of earth which was torn up adhered to the roots. This kept them from drying up to some extent and soon new roots were thrown downward and the tree tenaciously retained it's hold on life. The writer well remenl. bers of eating, when a boy, the large red-cheeked apples which it bore, of unknown name. The tree survived the fall" and for many years yielded as much fruit as any in the orchard. It had one merit, at least-no ladder was required from which to gather the fruit.

Preachers should Learn Tradee.

A prominent clergyman strongly urges all young men who contemplate entering the ministry to learnA some trade either before or after their ordination. He has examined the sta tistics of the various Protestant de- nominations and has been appalled, by the humber of ministers who are without a charge. He thinks that if every preacher should have trade his independence would not only be great thing for himself, but would increase his usefulness in the pulpit. Chicago Chronicle.
