The Country Girls Cosmetics.

The girl living. on a farm has so
many materials at hand with which
to make acceptable gifts to city
friends and not the least of these
are the ingredients for harmless but
helpful cosmetics. And by the way,
did you know that word cosmetic
was derived from a Greek term sig
nifying skilled in the art of decora-
ton or ornament? From the first,
rhubarb sprouts and lettuce leaves on
through spinach (for coloring creams
and ~lotions), strawberries, cucumbers.
watermelons and ounce, with honey
and milk and nuts, the girl on the
farm has the best and purest ma
terlals to choose from and work
with. An expensive Italian cream
Is made from the ground green seeds
OF cucumbers, melons and pumpkins
made into -four which is slightly per-
fumed and made into paste with
sweet cream.
The basis of nearly all washes for
chapped hands is ounce seeds, so one !,
can make their own at slight ex-
pense by adding extract of WITCH
hazel to the emulsion. With ca-e the
girl living on a farm should have the
.proverbial rose leaf or peaches and
cream complexion until she IS at
least seventy-fve years of age. The
juice OF cucumber enters largely in
to the preparation of many face |
creams and watermelon Juice is a
Southern face wash. Toma-
to juice is fine for an oily, greasy
skin, and the acid of Strawberries
rivals that of lemons as a bleaching
agent. The basis of the most salts

TAKES SAIL IN A WAGON
IN CREEK NEAR BARsTOw

nue.. had an experience while deliver
ing goods in the upper end of the
county last week. He was in the Vi
cinity of BarStow. y mile above the
village he found that a bridge that
used to span Il creek there had been
removed by the floods. He did not
suppose the water to be too deep for
the horse To ford. so he drove ahead
In the middle of the stream the horse
got into a hole and would have
drowned had il not been released
from the wagon by Scannell. The
animal got safely to shore. Scannell
stuck to the wagon and the $40 worth
OF tea that he had on board in the
hope that he would strike shore a
little further below. With his horse
waiting for him IN the shore. and a
long walk in front of him if he did
not act quickly. he jumped into the
chilly stream and swan ashore. The
wagon brought up against tree
some distance away. Scannell mount
ed his horse and returned To the city
