Too Much FOR HIN.

Voltaire could not speak much Eng
lish. The reason why he refused to-
study the language 10 this: II was
drilled into him that plague" was
pronounced "plaig." which he thought
fery pretty and acceptable. But right
on top of 1t be was introduced to
aague." which his teacher said must
be called "a-gue." Finding 1t impos-
sible to reconcile the difference. he
went or into philosophical tantrum
and dropped the study.

Vacuum.

lzJ v0Cuums ~
The space above the mercury In a
thermometer is not perfect vacuum.
There is not infrequently small por-
ton of air left In such space, and there
is always an atmosphere of the vapor
Of mercury. Physically speaking, It is
perhaps impossible to procure a vac
uum. 1t is most likely that even IL a
real vacuum could be procured for an
instant air or other vapor would at
once begin to be disseminated from the
sides of the vessel in which it was
made, and 1t would thus instantly cease
to exist.
# It is true that Dexartes denied the
very possibility of a vacuum and says,
IF vacuum could be effected in a
vessel the sides would be pressed into
contact" but 1t Is hardly correct to
say, Scientists say that vacuum can
not exist What scientists do say is
what Galilei said, Mature abhors a
vacuum" As the statement OF fact
Is true, Nature does, TO the best Of our
knowledge. abhor d vacuum. She never
suffers It to exist to the extent OF al
lowing any space which is perceptible
tp our senses to be vacuous. Vacuum,
in scientific speech, simply means a
space from which air has been expelled.

sity enough in the styles to bring out the
charms of every type, so that no one can
find fault
A very noticeable item in fashion is the
vogue of bright colors; they are intro
duced in many ways-in crude or finished
embroideries. i'm bright straps, bands and
facings of leather. with collar and belt
TO match, i'm buttons and in silk and velvet
ribbons. The Japanese and Chinese en-
broideries are much in demand for trim
ming this seasons gowns since the color
ings are so changeable that they match
almost any shade
In every perfectly appointed wardrobe
this season there is at least one velvet
and one velveteen or corduroy gown.
Never were these materials so popular
They are wonderfully plable and are
shown In the most exquisite shades as
well as black. When the entire velvet cos
tune is not possible, there must be at
least a coat or skirt Of the rich fabric.
The association of cloth and velvet,
matching I'm color, is one Of the fancies
Of the season.

.MST FOR And
ABOUT WOMEN
The Toilet

We do not care TO recommend any par
ticular depilatory powder to correspon-
dents. owing to the action it may have on
the different skins. There are, however,
saveral reliable preparations on the mar
ket. aud we suggest that you consult with
Your druggist and have him prescribe one
for you Then. to test its efficacy. try Il
little of it ON the arm first and note the
effect. before applying it to the face.
cRead the first paper in the series en-
titled '"rhe Fountain of Youth" in The
oelincator for January, which concerns
4 ~ face. The second paper, IN the Feb
ruary issue, treats OF the complexion.
A remedy for chilblains is to apply to
the effected parts of laudanum and spirits
Of camphor mixed in equal parts. II care
is exercised in dressing the arms and
hands and the wearing Of warm under
clothing it is not likely that the chill
blains will become troublesome. Their
presence indicates a feeble state of the
blood
Cold sores may be greatly relieved by
dabbing them with a strong solution of
camphor. This will quickly reduce che
sweliings. rendering the face quite pre-
sentable in a few hours.
For cleansing the hands use oatmeal in
stead of soap. or a little ammonia or
\ borax in the water they are washed in. BE
careful to dry them thoroughly every
time they are washed. and then to apply
a little vaseline or cold cream. wiping the
hands after the application. Oxalic acid,
in weak solution. will remove stains; or,
what Is better, bit of lemon. If oxalic
acid is used. it must not be permitted Ia
touch an abraded part of the skin. AT
night rub oatmeal over the hands and
wear pair Of gloves a size or two toe
large.

Songs from the Wagner Operas, rend-
cred into English by Richard de CALI
enne and beautifully illustrated in
colors by j. c. Leyendecker. occupies
a prominent place, and a chapter in
the Composers Series. relating the
Romance Of Wagner and Cosima, is
an interesting supplement to the lyrics.
