She Knew Them.

Girls are certainly past all under
derstanding," said the big athletic
fellow to his pretty companion. Here
you make all sorts of fuss over to-
bacco, while other girls of my ac-
Quaintance request me to blow smoke
into their hair. Yes, they do; but
goodness knows what for. They say
they like to have the odor of tobacco
clinging in their tresses. / must say
| can't agree with them. A good fresh
cigar is one thing. but the odor of
stale tobacco smoke is another. Some
times I've thought that maybe the to-
bacco did something to- the hair, gave
it life, put a CLINT of gold into it,
made it more luXuriant. or something.
Otherwise why should they insist that
| puff lot of smoke on them?"
The pretty girl smiled knowingly.
Did you ever think, she asked, that
the odor of stale tobacco about q wom-
an might lead her friends to believe
that she had many masculine callers?"
The athletic fellow looked at her
admiringly. 1T takes q woman TO -

Manucla, her clumsy little fingers
drawing threads from a coarse bit of
cotton. She was the least scholar and
was just learning to pull threads and
to hem stitch-the very first stage of
the art. Close to her were Paz and
Guadelupa, both setting round lace
wheels into the center of q lunch
cloth with many fine stitches. Juana,
with a strong Indian profile and the
hands and feet of lost princess, was
the most proficient of the older girls.
She was engaged in making the
''redas" or lace wheels that set to-
gether with various stitches, make the
most beautiful specimens of the Mex
lean handcraft. She worked 50 rap
idly that her hand was like a brown
bird lowering over her work. She
held in her left hand a little circlet
of tin about the size of a napkin ring.
About the upper edge of this ring was
series of points turned outward like
hooks. Over these she Hoped thread
until she had made a wheel with
spokcs radiating from the center to
every one of the hooks. Then in and
out, over and under these spokes of
thread she wove. with her needle
design of vine leaves. She finished
the wheel by putting a double rim
near the outer edge 20 hold the spokes
together, just as an iron tire holds a
wagon wheel together. This done she
slipped the loops of thread from off
the hooks and in her dusky hand lay
a wheel of lace that looked as if it
might have fallen from the chariot
of frost fairy.
Around the big piece of linen in
the center of the room each girl
worked on a certain bit of territory
that was her own from the time the
design was begun until it was COM
pleted. Each had cut and pulled
threads and was now busy weaving
with fine thread the "cross and crown"
design, one Of the lost intricate of
the patterns brought SO long ago from
Spain. At intervals the Sonora
passed around the room scrutinizing
each bit of linen or lace wheel, just
as master-painter goes about
amongst his pupils. And it is the same
with these workers in thread as
among artists. Some there are, who
have heavy fingers and lack of taste
who never get beyond mediocrity in
their work. They can never be en-
ployed on the delicate cobwebby hand
kerchiefs nor can they set together
the wheels into collars. doilies or
other pieces that require delicate
touch. These workers in thread have
need, too, of the keenest eyesight and
after forty few women can weave to-

Used Ink as a Pain-killer.

When an ambulance surgeon in re-
spending to hurry call finds his pa
tient to be suffering from burns or
scalds he is apt to use anything, from
molasses to flour, to cover the wounds
and prevent the air from reaching
them. This practice was followed by
a woman in a railway station the 9th.
er day when a small child who was
playing around the waiting room acct
dentally sat down on hot steam pipe.
The little one was so frightened that
in trying to stand up she slipped and
fell back again, this time becoming
wedged between the wall and the hot
pipe. The child's screams brought
the mother to the scene at once. Pick
ing the little girl up, she turned her
across her lap, loosened her clothes.
and then, taking a bottle of writing
fluid from her satchel, emptied it
over the scorched flesh. In a moment
the child stopped screaming and soon
was playing around as lively as ever.
The writing fluid in itself was not a
curative. 1t simply prevented the air
from getting at the burns. The whole
thing was interesting as an illustration
of the woman's presence of mind

Goodwin Smith Tells the Secret of His
YouthfuIness and Vieor.

Youthfulne5s and VlGor.
Goodwin Smith, the famous histo-
rian, educator. journalist and essayist,
wvu Is che literary life of Canada, has
brought out good deal of comment
on the problem of old age, with men,
tai and physical soundness, by his
own opinion of the influences which
have helped him celebrate his Seth
birthday in good health and able to do
brilliant and valuable work in his
chosen field OF labor
Prof. Smith thinks that he owes
much to his freedom from hard tasks,
in school or otherwise, when a boy.
He was sickly child and his chance
of even average length of days seemed
poor. But he was allowed much free
dom in boyhood, to roam the fields
and play instead of sticking closely
to books or taxing his mind severely.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
Goldwin Smith was still a young lad,
however, when he began to work
zealously in school, and at Elton and
in the university he was a brilliant
student. Another point he makes
much of is his lifelong habit of work
ing in the early morning rather than
late at night, and getting sleep in the
hours of darkness, natures time for
rest. He also testifies to his con-
slant care as to outdoor exercise and
his moderation in eating and drink.
