Every Town should Advertise,

In the opinion of the Four-Track
News, one of the first requisites of a
good business man, in this age of mer-
camille activity, is that he should un-
derstand the art of advertising. The
same rules that govern private con-
Germs should govern the business af-
fairs of cities. Every civilized town
that has industrial aspirations and
hopes to grow and prosper, must needs
let the world know wnat it has to of.
fer by way of inducements. Manufac-
turing enterprises, educational institu-
tions, business and professional men
are ever seeking desirable loca ations,
and it Is noticeable fact that compar-
atlvely few cities and towns are at
tracing them. This is because many
towns which possess good water pow
er, good shipping facilities, good
school and residential advantages, lack
the life and enterprise to let the world
know what they possess. They do not
grow because they are unknown. They
are like the drowsy merchant who
doesn't think it worth while to adver-
tlse, but prefers to sit and watch the
spiders spin webs across his doorway.
Every new enterprise that locates in
town adds to the prosperity and bus
mess possibilities of every dealer in
the place, and every citizen who has
his own good and the good OF the COM
munity at heart should take a hand
in getting his town into touch with the
/ busy, wide-awake world.

Waving Irons Are Still Used.

It is no use for those who think
they know to declare that the waving
of the hair is no. longer a modish idea.
Women will have their heads waved
till doomsday, and the hairdressers
have such pretty way of coaxing
the hair into waves to peculiarly suit
the profile. Once upon time the
hairdresser just made straight waves
down the side of the head, but nova
days a more sophisticated idea pre-
walls, as, for instance, over the ear the
hair will be set in a wave that curves
right round to coincide with the curve
of the ear; it is wonderfully becoming
and positively transforms profile not
perfect. Pure classic features can, of
course, stand any hair dressing, but
If the nose and chin don't exactly bal
ance, or there are other little matters
lacking perfection, this waving the
hair does wonders in producing that
quality of charm which we all appre-
ciate so much. - London Black and

New Welding Material,

Welding broken shaft, or even the
ends of rails on trolley lines is colsid-
cred of sufficient Importance TO require
experts at the head of the work, but If
the new welding material, thermite,
fulfills all that is promised. unski.ied
workmen may be doing this work in
the near future. The thermlte rail-
welding process has already been ac-
cepted abroad. and 10000 Joints have
been united by this system in forty
European cities. The rail ends must
be claned from dust and rust by wire
brush and then slightly warmed. A
mold is then fitted around the ends and
the thormite Is heated in crucible
directly above the entrance to- the
mold. into which 1t flows as soon as
the temperature rises to the melting
point The welding is done automati-
cally by the thermite itself and thus
the supervision of an expert welder is
not required. In welding heavy
shaft the mold is built -p around 1t
and the heat applied to the cruclble as
before, process which might save
valuable time on board ships.

Conditional Pleasure,

woman, that 1 left pleasure behind
when l took to comforts. l can no
longer be enraptured by scenery and
sunsets unless l also am sure of hot
and cold water and first class beds,
and the finest play does not attract
me unless l can get good seat. have

myself, and that is fatal to true pleas

lutely, as l used to, when l stood
three hours to hear Irving and Terry,

smile-that was pleasure pure and sim

Color, II employed at all in the de-
sign, should go with the dark and me-
dlum toned waists, and of these, both
as to shade and texture, there are sam
pies galore from which to make selec-
tlon. Possibly the pale tans and bis
cult colors are most enticing, and with
these you may consistently work in
monochrome effects. There are some
very fetching lavender tints and blues
that will stand color; In fact, the more
pronounced the color of the waist, the
more bold your design may be. Coarse
linens are exceedingly stunning when
embroidered in heavy thread, and will
not look amiss with bold dash OF
color here and there.

The Future of Dress.

As women advance in the scale of
progress, will they leave the love OF
dress behind? Fifty-odd years ago,
when the first women's rights conven-
tions met in New England. this did
not seem a debatable question. Short
hair and boomers characterized the
feminine champions of the cause.

vanities from which the sex was 10 be

score.-Harper's Bazaar.

PRINCESS, Fayorite Color.

Princess of Wales is Il delicate mauve,
which she wears very often, both for
daytime and evening functions. The
princess is celebrated among the Aus

for her dancing. This Is quite a COM

Austrians themselves are renowned
for their superiority in both these

Bprutfieu Hats,

The most effective millinery of the
summer is decidedly that of the Nor
land type, with the tall crown and
the Topping brim in which the painter
loved to delineate his sitters. We seem
already to have departed quite meas
urable distance from the mushroom
hat, with its simple trimming of tulle
or ribbon ruching and strings to match.
Every hat to which a soft ruffie could
be given as the lining to the brim has
one; there is certainly much to praise
in the revival of this quaint fashion,
which exercises a most softening iu-
fuence over pretty face.

Box for Carrying Eggs.

Most poultrymen are familiar with the
ege carriers used OH the market and those
who have a considerable quantity OF eggs
to handle use these carriers. The farmer,
however, ia in the habit of earring eggs
to the market in a basket and often many
of them become broken, resulting in con-
siderable loss. The illustration shows one
of the boxes which may be made from
cheap material and which will answer as
we'll as the boxes sold for the purpose.
Any grocer who handles quantities of
shipped eggs will give a customer some
of the cardboard filters such as are used
in the crates; then buy some cracker
boxes and fashion a neat box like the one
shown, cutting the Dashboard filters with
