MAX o'RELL ON MARRIAGE.

Matrimony is a very narrow car
rage. If you want to be comfortable
in. it you have to be careful or one will
soon be in the way of the other. To
put yourself to little inconvenience
now and then is the only way of MAX
ing the other comfortable. To believe
that love alone without careful study
will resist all the shocks and will be
all the more durable in that it is ar
dent, is the greatest mistake one can
make in the world. Violent passion
may be compared to Hercules, who
might have enough strength to raise a
palace on his shoulders, but not
enough to stand a cold in his head. 1t
is the thousand and one little draw.
backs of matrimonial life that under.
mine 1t; love will survive a great mis-.
fortune, but will be killed by the little
mlseries of conjugal partnership. In
matrlmony it is the little things that
count and which, added up, make a
terrible total. The waning love of q
wife will not be revived by the pres
ent of a fiye-thousand-dolla pair OF
earrings, but it may be kept up by the
daily present of a five-cent bundle OF
violets, which reminds her that you
think of her every day of your life

Care of the Mouth.

Two drops of camphor on your
tooth brush will give your mouth the
freshest, cleanest feeling imaginable,
will make your gums rosy ana aDso-
lutely prevent anything like cold sores
or affections of your tongue. The
gums, by the way, are barometers of
our condition. If they are clear,
bright red, we are in good health,
while if our blood is thin and wanting
in the mysterious red corpuscfes that
make us healthy the gums will be pale.

In robes immaculate, the perfumed
earth
Now wakes to glory-e'en as woke

Behold their bloom; accept the sac

From pole to pole, with canticle and

The faltering tribute of this meanest

Custards.

Custards hold a deservedly high
place among desserts because they are
not only delicious but nutritious and
wholesome. For the various forms of
baked and boiled custards, three eggs
are sufficient for a pint of milk. If,
however. a very rich dessert is want
ed, four or even five eggs may be used.
Boiled custard will be smoother if
only the yolKs are employed.
For harlequin custard, the formula
is one pint of milk, two-thirds of a cup
of sugar, three eggs, one-half salt
spoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of va
nilla, two teaspoons of cornstarch,
one-fourth of a square of chocolate,
three teaspoons of cocoa, one-half cup
of chopped nuts and one-half cup of
chopped candied fruits. Cream to-
gether the sugar, eggs and cornstarch.
Heat the milk in double boiler. Blend
the cocoa and chocolate in little of
the hot milk. Stir in the egg and SUI
gar mixture, the chocolate and the CO.
Goa. Add the nuts and fruit and cook
until the custard thickens. Remove
from the fire and stir in the vanilla and
salt.

An excellent lotion for a delicate
skin is found in boracic acid, two

water, four ounces. This is absolutely
harmless and can be applied to the
skin two or three times day

You do not state the reasons Tor the
red and blotched skin. If you will ap-
ply healing cream to it you should
have a nice skin, unless your trouble
is an internal one.

neck is caused by fat Do not try to
do anything for it until you are sure
that it is unnatural and ought not to
be there. Perhaps you had better CON

A SCENE IN WINTER.

The north wind bowls DER the dreary
plain,
The snow lies white and deep
All is weird and Oakland gloomy,
Where yon village lies asleep.
List What strange half-human cry.
Is borne through the chill air
'Tis the midnight prowler calling,
His mates from their hidden lair.
The black wolf roams Ger the silent
hills,
When winds blow cold and chill,
When nights dark curtain is drawn
around,
And the drifting snow the hollows
fill.
With slow and stealthy tread, he creeps
Toward the wakeful watch dog by
the gate,
Then pauses, and with distended nos
trils,
Calls once more for his tagging
mate.
And then timid answering call,
With the echoes seems to vie,
And a second VOLTS dark silhouette,
Appears against the sky.
Together, these two shadowy forms
Creep toward the barnyard gate
Then pause-and watch-and listen
Then onward for their prey to lie in
wait
But alas! too well the faithful watch
dog knows
The dismal howl and stealthy tread
And turning, they skulk across the
plain,
Filled with a sudden, nameless
dread.
Across the dreary waste of snow, they
take
Their aimless, cowardly flight.
Swiftly, silently they go,
Subtle, shadow phantoms of the
night

Blouse With Cape Collar.


Cape or yoke collars and all devices
that give q broad shoulder line are to
be noted on the latest waists and are
singularly graceful. The May Manton
model shown is extended to form
narrow plastron and is among the best
seen. The waist. as illustrated, is or
striped French flannel stitched with
corticelli silk and trimmed with small
buttons, but the design is suited to all
the materials of the season, and to
both the odd waist and the gown. The
full, soft fronts are peculiarly becom'
ing, and the cape collar is shaped TO
fall well over the sleeves where it is
open to allow perfect freedom of move
ment.
The waist consists Of the fitted lin
ing, the fronts, back and cape collar.
The portions of the waist are arranged
over the lining and the cape collar over
both. At the neck is standing collar
that is closed with the waist at the
centre front. The sleeves are the new
ones with the deep pointed cuffs and
are arranged over fitted Innings. 10

Strawberries and Rheumatism.

It is frequently remarked by persons
of rheumatic and gouty tendencies
that those unpleasant twinges of the
muscles and joints do not long survive
the opening of the strawberry season.
1t is somewhat curious coincidence
that in the strawberry the presence OF
salicylic acid, which is specific in
acute rheumatism, has been definitely
established. AS q matter of fact Sali-
cylic acid would appear to be normal
constituent of most fruits. At any
rate, this acid has been found not only
in the strawberry but in grapes. ap'
piles, plums, oranges and cherries, al
though the amount is probably less
than one milligramme death of q
grain) per klogramne two pounds) OF
fruit.
1t is hardly possible. therefore, thar
the strawberry should have any spe.
ciflc medicinal effect attributable to the
salicylic acid present. AS is well
known, most fruits possess antj-scor'
butte properties and contain salts
which readily become converted into
carbonates in the system. thus tending
to maintain IN alkaline condition and
preventing the formation Of acid de-
posits.--Atlanta Journal.

New Plant Settlement.

The island Of Krakatoa, on which an
plant life was destroyed by the great
eruption of 1883, Is isolated from Java
Ind Sumatra by twenty miles Of water,
and has given botanists g much priced
opportunity for studying the birth Of q
new vegetation. The first observations
were made by DR.. Treub, after about
three years. Microscopic algae, which
had covered the surface with a Shiny
layer, were decomposing the pumice
stone, lava and ash into a suitable sub
stratum for other plants and about
dozen species Of ferns were already
abundant, while there were few indi-
viduals of fifteen Towering plants. The
report of other German botanists, who
visited the island in 1897, has just been
published. Very strangely. no more
species of ferns were noted, but in all
sixty-two pieces of vascular plants
were observed, including fifty flower
ing plants, representing twenty-one
natural orders. There were eight CON-
positae, six grasses and four orchids.
A belt near the water was richest in
species, while beyond were dense
thickets of reeds and sugar cane, and
the more thinly covered interior con-
tained chiefly ferns. 1t is almost Ger.
tain that sixty per cent. Of the flower
ing plants were introduced by the sea,

Cause Of Sleeping Sickness.

The investigations by the govern
mental commission sent to Uganda
have discovered the cause of the sleep
ing sickness, which has caused SO many
thousand deaths among the natives.
Buvuna Island. which had popula-
tion of $4,000, has now but 5000. The
southern province Of Busoga has been
practically depopulated.
The first step in the discovery was
the observation of trypanosomes in the
cerebro-spinal fluid in five cases Of the
sleeping sickness. A further investiga-
ton showed the existence of this para"
site in the cerebro-spinal fluid and in
the circulating blood Of all of the cases.
AS it was closely related to the disease
of cattle caused by the tsetse fly, it was
suspected that the sleeping sickness
was caused in like manner by inf"c

Mr.. Redpath's Problem.

A tigers skin, made into beautiful
] rug and valued at nearly a thousand
dollars, was the property of MI.
Stubbs. Mr.. .Redpath, a neighbor,
owned a dog. One day maid servant
in the employ Of Mr. Stubs had taken
the rugs into back yard, hung them
on @ line, and began beating them.
The sturdy strokes of the stick caused
every rug on the line to dance about.
The tigers skin became particularly
active. The great head swung to and
fro in the wind, and the wide-stretched
jaws seemed to ache to snap eff some
ones leg. A Chicago evening paper
tells how the challenge was accepted.
At this interesting moment Mr.. Red
path and his bulldog passed by. That
is to say, Mr.. Redpath passed. The
bulldog paused to look. What he saw
aroused his anger. The tigers head
was challenging him to mortal combat
He leaped the fence and in two long
bounds had hi; strong jaws fastened
in the neck of The former king of the
jungle.
Scat" shouted Mary. "Get out, you
beast, you'll ruin the rug"
The bulldog gave no heed. The
tigers skin had fallen from the line
and completely enveloped the dog.
Mutled growls could be heard as the
mass OF yellow fur rolled about the
yard.
"Get outr' shouted Mary. But the
dog could not get out. That was the
trouble. He had become so completely
tangled up that his own master could
not have extricated him. There was
sound Of rending skin.
Hes trying to eat his way out, I
do believe" said Mary. And she was
right. When the dog reappeared the
rug was in fragments. His master
looked wofully at the pieces scattered
about. He knew Stubs and he knew
the value of the tger-skin rug.
II have got to get all the pieces to-
gether or give up $1,000" he said. Part
of the rug is inside the dog, and don't
