Mr. Guy E. Mitchell tells of strange
use for milk. He and others have
used it for painting barns and .outbuild-

three pounds Of Portland cement and
enough pigment to give the proper
color. This mixture spread on the
wood makes a coating that after six
hours becomes as good and lasting as

FIVE THOUSAND PIECES

A large picture frame, containing over
5000 pieces OF inlaid wood, and measur-
ing ~ by 81 feet. has just been COM
pleted by Horatio r. Hutchinson, sixty
five years old, and living at 12O6 Eleventh

twelve different kinds OF wood-white
maple. white pine. white holly, white
spruce, white beech, white birch, mahog-
any, haywood. walnut. rosewood. Cali
fornia redwood, and cherry. The mold
ing IS sixteen inches wide and nine
inches deep, and all the inlayins IS one

Becoming CoLorS.

To bring out the full briIliancy OF blue
eyes a blue dress. or even q blue stock,
Is admirable.
A sallow complexion always looks best
in pure white or in red. A certain shade
Of blue, somewhat on the turquoise OF
green blue. Is also becoming TO such a
skin. Turquoise blue also adds a deeper
tone to the eyes.
A pale face Is always improved by It's
possessOr wearing pink or red frOck. 1t
Is not necessary to be brunette in this
case, as many blondes look better in
red than in any other color.
Only a woman with red cheeks looks
well In violet, and. although many
blondes affect this shade, only a bru-
nette can wear II right against the face.
A dull shade OF heliotrope is apt to
take the color out Of the checks and
lips, but buff and yellow are becoming
10 the ma tor1ty Of people.
A woman with an indefinite pale or
washed-out shade OF hair should never
wear fawn or light browns. She looks
best IN warm shades Of brown, which
give her tone. The Titian-haired beauty
never looks so we'll as when she wears a
gown shading darker than the tint in
her HEAR. She should avoid gray and
keep TO brown. cream. fawn. green and
black.

A remark fraught WIZ vision as

New York physician short time
ago. He was called to the bedside OF
young man of fine family who had
lust ended his life by putting bull
let through his heart. The doctor was
a family physician and had known the
youth for years. He shook his head
sadly as he raised the lifeless hand
and let it drop.
HE was boy of brains" he said,
"but he had too much money ever to
amount to anything"
That was the root of the evil in this
case, as it is in so many others. The
young man had a settled income. it
turned his mind from work. He led
the life of an idler. He had no ambi-
ton. no pride. He dawdled here and
there, he became lOunger about the

were a damage to him. And, finally,
when he tired of it all, he resorted 10

An Anti-Fat Experiment.

M. Ramona, the French physiolo-
gist, according to Cosmos, has made
notable discovery. After injecting
olive oil into the peritoneum of guinea
pigs, he found that the operation, on
repetition, finally determined rapid
absorption. He then showed that the
injection of serum from a guinea pig
thus treated gave to second animal
the power of absorbing injected olive
oil very rapidly. The reaction seems
to depend on the oil employed, so
that it can be easily told whether or
not it was olive oil. The experimenter
thinks it possible, by injecting into
fat man serum obtained from an
animal into which human fat has been
previously injected, to make the sub
ject grow thin to some degree. But
fat people need not hope for too much
