THE INGENUITY OF TRAMPS
Manifested in Their Inventiveness
While Making Shift to Live
on the Road.

"Your reference to the hobo and tho
tin can" said a traveller of wide ex-
perience, according to the New York
Sun, reminds me of some of the clever
things l have seen done by tramps.
One Of them is the transformation Of
this same despised tin can into very
creditable frying pan.
when hobo wants to fry piece
of meat he looks around for suitable
tin can: If he can find q four-quart
can, he has exactly what he wants; If
not, a two-quart can will answer.
with stone he knocks off the top
and bottom pieces and unsolders the
cylinder part of the can. which is made
Of single piece of tin. This he rolls
out fat like a sheet of paper. He has
only to turn up each edge about an
inch and clinch the ends to make
very decent pan.
Cramps are often able to beg q
small piece of meat from a butcher.
This, with q few potatoes, makes q
good meal, and it is no uncommon
sight to see hobo sitting beside
fire, watching his bit Of ~beefsteak fry
ing in his self-made pan.
men of this class are almost inva-
riably smooth-faced. used to wonder
how they managed to keep their faces
clean until scraped an acquaintance
with one of them by the roadside.
around his neck noticed string,
and, wondering if hoboes wore charms,
l asked him what he carried on the
string. Much to my surprise he flshed
up razor. My surprise was increased
when I saw that it was in good condi-
ton.
How do you manage to keep it SO
sharp?' asked.
"He smiled and pointed to his belt.
The side next his body had become

But what do you do for a glass7'
I inquired.
From his pocket he drew forth a
rectangular package, probably two by
three inches, wrapped in paper. He

There are many clever things they

son why their clothes don't go to pieces
altogether. If only their energy equaled
their sharpness, many of them would

fessions. Laziness is their worst enc

HINTS FOR DREssMAkERs.
Mime. Baker Says That the Princess
and tho 0odet Skirt Will b

Whatever happens there are Two
styles that may be counted upon this
season. One is the princess and the
other the godet skirt for walking. This,
with q good many cores extending to
form a sort Of peasant waist, is the
craze of the moment in Paris and is
called "the cowboy walking skirt" It
must be very full at the foot to set out
in ripples. A narrow strip of hair
cloth in the hem and petticoat made
with the lily founce will give tho Set

ankle. This will be worn with any

THE USE Of FACE POWDERS
Thew Contain Harmful "A. Well a.
Harmless Substances to
Some Skins.

lnropose to say few words on the in
nuence of powders in the making and in
the marring of the complexion. As
matter of fact, owing to the manner in
which these cosmetics are abused, the
general tendency is to mar rather than
to make, although the immediate effect
NAV be both satisfactory and pleasing.
The great mistake that is generally made
is that these so-called aids to beauty are
used Unfortunately and irrespecttvely
Of the idiosyncrasies and peculiarities Of
the skin to which they are applied.
It must be remembered that the basis of
the great majority of powders is starch
q substance which in itself is harmless.
It has, however, drying properties, and
therefore should not be used thoughtless-
" when the skin is naturally dry, And,
further than this, it should not be forgot
ten that starch is not soluble in either
hot or cold water, and, therefore, can
not be removed from the pores and in
terstices of the skin by the ordinary
methods Of washing. In fact. it not in
frequently happens that, owing to this
difficulty in removing It after It has once
been applied, certain Of the po0es Of the
skin become blocked and ultimately re-
suit In blackheads or even in boils. The
most common addition to the powders
Of which the basis is starch, is borax or
boracic acid. These substances, again,
are comparatively harmless, are solu-
BILE in water, and act as mild antiseptics,
but, like starch, they also have drying
properties, and hence should not be lay
ishly used unless the skin is naturally
moist. For greasy skins they are par
ticularly useful.
Among the more harmful substances
which are added to these powders are
zinc oxide and certain preparations of
bismuth. These salts, though particu-
larly soothing to irritated skins, have dis
advantages which it is worth while to re-
member. Both Of them, when applied
to greasy skins. are apt to turn a some
what greyish blue hue which presents the
CHASTITY appearance with which we are so
familiar in the case of skins which have
been enamelled for considerable period
of time.

Chinese Burial Customs.

When rich and important China
man dies his funeral is conducted with
much ponp and splendor. His friends
and relatives, instead of sending
wreaths, send innumerable banners.
These are made of white silk, with in
scriptions beautifully worked in black
velvet, and express the senders' good
wishes to the deceased himself or to
members of his family for many genera
lions. On the day of the funeral these
banners are carried by hired men. who
are all dressed alike for the occasion.
After the funeral, which lasts several
hours at the cemetery, is over the ban
ners are all sent back, and eventu-
ally grace the rooms of the late China
mans house.

sometimes of lords and ladies, some
times of politics and sometimes of

Il cannot tell you how long to know
the. real man. Through his stories have
learned to know the heights and depths

no one else can, the new thoughts and
hopes that have come to me. Before l

''The soul always recognizes its true

But you've never seen him. How do
you know he isn't married?"
Because I've written to him and he
has answered; not by letter, but in the
loveliest way. I wrote to him and told
him what thought Of his stories and
all they had been to me, but did not
sign my name. His next story was the
best of all. 1t was about a man who had
worked and struggled all his life to make
q name in the world and finally success
came to him. But it did not bring happi-
ness, for the true interest was lacking
and there was a deep yearning always

DO YOUR OWN MANlcURlNC
There's No Reason Why Any Girl
Should Have Hands That Look
Coarse and Rough.

This is the season of the year when It
is more than ever difficult to keep ones
nails in order. Living out of doors, prac-
ticing many sports work havoc to the
hands, unless a girl is careful. To 60
regularly to manicure is expensive,
but with little time and by simple means
it is possible to do much toward improv-
ing the nails.
The skin at the base is inclined to
grow over them, but that can be easily
prevented. Fill a basin with nice hot,
soapy water, and soak your hands in
this for at least ten minutes: BY that
time the skin will be soft, and with a
blunt stick of orange wood (obtainable
at any druggist's) can be pressed gently
back into its proper position. so that
the pretty half moons at the base of the
nail can be seen in all their glory.
But remember that too great pressure
or ungentle treatment of any kind will
probably result in crop of those little
white spots that are so disflguring.
After pressing back the skin and thor
oughly drying the hands, take half q
lemon and keep digging your fingers
into this until the nails are saturated
with the juice. There is nothing like It
for Improving and identifying them.
Wipe OF the lemon with soft rag,
roll a corner Of your towel up into q
hard pad, and with this give the nails
brisk rub to restore the polish.
This treatment once a week and .
careful pushing back Of the skin every
time the hands are washed will soon
bring about marvellous Improvement
in the appearance Of the nails. To pol
ish. rub briskly on the palm of the other
hand.

Perhaps one Of the newest ideas in
framing is the employment of willow
such as furniture is made of. Naturally,
this style of frame would only be de-
sirable in certain cases. It particularly
eommends itself for country houses

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
Only One Pair Was Ever Made and That Was Very Small-Inter-
 esting Glove Lore.

A report comes from Copenha- gen that great rat hunt has been organized there, and that the skins of many thousands of the victims are to be used in making gloves. If the rat hunters in the Danish capital cherish any such hopes, says the Pail Mall Gazette, they are doomed to disappoint- ment.
 Rat skins cannot be made into gloves fit for commerce. The be- lief that a valuable raw material is being neglected here survives only in the minds of the inexpert. The glove maker knows much better. A Norwegian merchant once came to England and in formed a we'll known glove maker that he had collected over 100, ,O0O rat skins and was prepared to re- ceive offers for them. He was fully convinced that the skins were suitable for glove making. But the manufacturer found that the largest skin was only some six inches long, and he held up a kid skin for the smallest size of glove, child's, which was eight inches long, and asked how he was to cut such glove out of a rat skin.
 Then he took tip the smallest kid skin for lady's glove, 1 inch es long, and when he asked how that was to be cut out of rat skin the Norwegian merchant laughed at the idea and went away disap- pointed. The best offer he got for those skins, which he had col lected with so much care, was five shillings a hundredweight from a man who was willing to boil them down for glue.
 A famous glove making firm has q collection of curiosities relating to the trade, and one of them is the largest pair of gloves ever made out of a rat skin. The be- lief that such skins could be made into gloves was laid before the managers so confidently that they resolved to put it to the trial, and they ordered a number of skins of the largest rats which could be found in Grimsby. But the rat is fighting animal, and bears the marks of many battles on his body, and it was found that the skins were so scared and torn that it was with the utmost diffi- culty that perfect pieces large enough for the purpose could be obtained. In the end, after ten skins had been used, a pair of gloves was cut and made, and they are retained in the collection to this day. But they are so small that they would only fit the small est of small boys. Thus 1t was shown that, however cheaply rat skins might be obtained, they would offer no advantage to the glove maker. The rabbit skin is equally useless for the purpose, and humane people may also dis miss from their minds the fear that the skins of pet dogs are made into gloves. The dog skin glove of which we used to hear is made of nothing but the skin of the Cape goat.
