In Samoa there is a curious legend
that the goddesses of tatooing swan
there from Fiji, where women only
are tattooed, for the purpose Of in
Producing the custom. and had been
ordered to sing all the way, Tattoo
the women but not the men,. Hav-
ing to repeat these words SO often,
they became confused, and when they
arrived at Samoa they were singing
lust the reverse, and hence arose the
nractice there of tattooing the men in
stead of the women.

70 Attribute Coffee lIIs TO Poor
Grades of Coffee.
Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon
the poorer grades of coffee but this 1s
an error as the following proves:
have used every kind of the best
grade of tea and coffee that can be
got from first class grocer but never
found one that would not upset my
nervous system and it was not until
began to drink Postum Food Coffee
in place of coffee ana tea that had
relief from the terrific attacks OF
nervous sick headache from which
lad suffered for 30 years.
81 had tried all kinds of medicines
but none helped me.
Soon after l stopped drinking COT
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew. less and 1t was not
long Until l was entirely cured ana
l have never had return OF this dis
tress:Ig trouble for nowadays l never
drink coffee but stick to Postum.
AS soon as my wife saw what POS
Gum had done for mo she gave up
coffee, which she had drank all her
life. This was six weeks ago ana
she is a changed woman, for her ner-
yousness has all disappeared and her
face has become smooth and her
cheeks have a good rosy red color.
She sleeps well, too, something she
could never do while she drank col

wncre Nutmess Are Grown

The nutmeg supply of England and
her colonies is almost entirely in the
hands of Dutchmen. The bulk comes
from the Island of Banda, and over so
per cent OF the worlds crop from the
Dutch West Indies. The fruiting
powers of the trees are remarkable.
They start fruiting when about twelve
years old, and yield regularly for
sixty or eighty years. They carry
blossoms and fruits without inter
mission through every month of the
year.

Work for Women.

In these days no woman of discern
ment, industry and inventiveness need
lack for employment that is both con-
genial and remunerative. Designing
borders for handkerchiefs is quite
business, and paying one for some
women. Although the work seems
simple, it calls for originality, sense
of color values and skill in combina-
ton. New patterns must continually
be brought out. Some of these borders
are very elaborate, and the most ar
tistic work must be put into them.
Reproductions of rare old English,
French or Venetian patterns, in COM
bination with modern art lines and
original patterns showing conventional
floral designs, leaves and other sug
gestions from nature, are shown il
these handkerchiefs.
A woman who has made a name for
herself by illustrating insect life has
taken to painting fish. She studies
the color and form of her models most
conscientiously. The color changes
$50 greatly in fish-for instance, some
tint being totally different when the
finny subject is in repose or in motion
in the aquarium or in running water,
that the studies must be made very
quickly.

Fancies in Fashion.

Among the newest things in
parasols are those of red MORE silk
with black dots.
Some of the new passementeries are
composed of white Irish linen with
lace applique.
Russian and Egyptian embroideries
in red, blue and black give a smart
touch to cloth costumes.
A double shoulder cape finishes
many spring gowns, particularly those
of canvas and etamine.
A belt of dull gold galoon, arranged
with little habit tabs at the back is
one, of the spring novelties.
Belt buckles in cut steel, silver,
filigree gold or stone set oxidized are
of varied and beautiful design.
A lattice work of ribbonl trims some
handsome evening gowns, often EN-,
phasized by gold and silver threads or
flowers.
