How to Max. . ooIr. House.

To furnish a dolls house collect
as many corks and bungs as you can
and get few ounces of colored
beads all one size, with two or three
dozen big ones, packet of pins,
and YOU have all YOU want except a
small skein of wool. Slice up the
corks crosswise TO make the seats
of the chairs and the table tops The
hungs will do for the sofa seats.
Slip half dozen of the beads on a
pin, putting a big one on first of all,
and dig the points into the slices Of
cork to make the chair legs. The
chair and sofa backs are made with
plain pins, and the wool laces across
them from side 10 side. If YOU
want the furniture to be very grand
the cork may be painted with en-
amel or gilded.

A Tibetan Trap.

A method of obstruction and de-
struction practiced by the Tibetans
against the invading British forces
is sort of BOBBY trap. A rough
fitting table is fixed on an eminence
the higher end is secured by cords,
and on the farther edge huge mass
es of rocks are piled. When the en-
emy passes on the road below, the
Tibetans cut the cords, and the table
tilts automatically and launches the
rocks upon the heads of those far
underneath.

unnarr,.a gnsli.hwom.n.

There are million more women
than men in Great Britain, and over
quarter of a million more men
than women in Canada, New Zea-
land and Australia. At the ROYAL
Colonial institute recently Mrs.
Archibald X. Colquhoun sought to
discover why the superfluous wom-
en- do not go out and find the hus-
bands waiting for them abroad.
"The middle class GIRL" she said,
"will take great interest in domestic
economy classes and come home
with copious notes, but she will
hardly dust room or help to make
bed, She is willing to attend ST.
John ambulance lectures, but is
bored to death if asked TO nurse
sick relative" Then with the
death of the head of the family
comes poverty, and the supcrAuous
woman is generally proved to be the
incapable woman.-1ondon Mail.

CURES cATARRH.
"Hyonei the Most Wonderful
Cure for Catarrh Ever Dis
covered, says Mitchell
and EgberS.

De not try to cure catarrh by tax
ing drugs into the stomach; it cannot
be CURED in that manner. The only
way in which this too common dis
ease can be cured is through a direct
application that will kill the bacilli
of catarrh and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
of treatment that accomplishes this.
1t is the simplest, most pleasant, and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
most prominent men and women in
the country who have been cured by
this remarkable remedy. Ministers,
bankers. lawyers, even eminent physi-
clans have given strong testimonials
as to the remarkable power of Hyomei
to cure catarrh. 81 -.s@Asy :,
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81. 90, consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks This will effect a
cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic
and deep-seated cases of catsrrh,
longer use may be necessary. and
then extra bottles eff Hyomei can be
obtained for 5oc. 1t is not alone the
best tit might be called the only
method Of curing catarrh, but it is
also the most economical.
Mitchell and Egbers have so much
confidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh, that they will for a
limited time, sell this medicine under
their personal guarantee to refund the
money if the purchasers can say that
it did not help them

THE FERRIS WHEEL
Brought Down From Chicago And
Is Now One Of She Chief
Attraction At The
Worlds Fair.

The great Expositions held during
the last fifteen years have produced
TWO marvellous examples of engineering
and constructive ability One OF these,
the Eiffel Tower. wss designed and
built by Frenchman at Paris for the
Exposition OF 1850; the other the
Ferris Wheel. was designed and built
by the late Geo. W. q. Ferris for the
Worlds Columbian Exposition al,
Chicago, in 1928.
Score. of attempts were nsde TO in.
vent something more wonderful and
more attractive than the Ferris Wheel
but ne Paris failed TO out do her own
EIffel Tower. 20 did st. Loui. fail to
equal the far.fsm.d Ferris Wheel Of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition OF
1893. Arrangements were accordingly
made to bring the Ferris Wheel to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. and II
was given a location near the geograph-
ical center OF the grounds.
One hundred and seventy five freight
car. were required to move this ma
terial from Chicago to 81 Louis.
The wheel is built upon the bicycle

The solid bronze bearings upon which

upon solid concrete and steel beam
pillars, which ARE carried down to solid

Two revolutions are given each pas
senger, and the time required is from
20 to 30 minutes. The view during
this half.hour ride 10 most interesting
and instructive. Gradually, as the
majestic and mighty wheel rolls one
up higher and higher, n grand panorama
unfolds itself to view. A fifty million
dollar Exposition in all its grandeur is
before you The location of the wheel
in the center of the Fair Grounds gives
one an opportunity TO thoroughly
familiarize themselves with the lay OF
the grounds and get better general
idea of the Fair than they could by
days of tramping
Hundreds Of thousands OF incandes-
cent lights bring the outlines of all the
buildings in bold relief The Festival
Hall and the Plateau OF States are
flooded In turn with white, red and
green lights, making a startling and
very beautiful eject. The best point
to view this grand illumination is from
the Ferris Wheel.
