curtis-vakman Wedding.

Last Tuesday evening Rev. w. F..
Mccormick drove out to the home of
Godfrey Schroeder west of town, and
united his step. daughter, Augusta
Vakman and Ned Curtis in marriage
before large gathering of invited
guests. After the ceremony was per-
formed music was started and soon
the guests were whirling in the dance,
and all night long the violins poured
forth their strains of music and on the
dancers whirled. The musicians play
ed out toward morning and quit and
the organ and mouth harp then kept
them music until seven. The band
from here was out and many people
were out. They received many beauti.
full presents as token of the regard of
friends. If the merry start in life
given to these ~ tim able young people
is indicative IL their future happiness,
their life will surely be one of
pleasa ntness and this is the wish of
their many friends who assembled to
start them along in life.

magnet. and Magnetism.

The modern. theory of magnetism,
known as Weber's. slded greatly by
the Work of Professor Ewing, main
1 tains that even the smallest physical
Quantity, the molecule, present in a
bar magnet Is itself minute magnet.
Hence the power of the magnet de-
ponds entirely, in the first place, upon
molecular arrangement.
This can be easily seen by tlling {,
glass tube with steel filings, looGeiy
packed, At first these are all in disor.
der, but if a magnet is drawn over the
tube they begin to turn themselves
into one direction till perfect alignment
takes place, when the tube acquires
the properties of magnet
The breaking of bar magnet into
pieces, each piece in turn becoming a
magnet confirms this theory. So does
saturation, as it is called, W. 4 the
molecules are arranged and no fu at
effect takes place The theory of mag
snetic keepers closing the lines of force,
thus preserving and not dissipating
Z the power, is also in accordance with
this The primary source of magnetic
poweris still unknown.

Gratitude of a Dog.

Olive Thorne Miller tells of dog
which belonged to colonial family
and was particularly noted for his an
tipathy to Indians, whom he delighted
TO track. On one campaign against
the French this dog insisted on accom-
panying his master, although his feet
were in terrible condition from hav-
ing been frozen during the previous
winter. During the fight which ended
lin the famous Braddocls's defeat he
became separated from his master, and
the latter, supposing him killed, went
.shome without him. Some weeks later,
However, the dog appeared in his old
home, which was many miles from the
/ battlefield. He was tired and worn,
but over his sore feet soft moccasins
were fastened, showing, that he had
been among Indians and that they had
taken especial pains to be kind to him.
Thereafter, though he showed great
JOY at being again among his own peo-
pie, neither threats nor brides could
ever induce him to track an Indian.

me a piece of tongue. He returned
without any unnecessary delay and
showed the dish out in front of me l
looked it over. 1t was not tongue at
all. The waiter was hanging around
the back of my chair, for he knew an
explanation would be in order in few
minutes. Say, old man, l said to him

He smiled. Picking up the bill Of fare.

newspapers, and shrewd business men
of several years experience found
themselves outstripped by the up 10
date ideas of this woman, who had but
few months before entered the bust
ness world for the first time.
When after months of success Mrs.
Belcher became dissatisfied with her
business associates she was able with
out difficulty to organize company of
her own with a capital double that of
the old company and. in the shortest
possible time. She chose Albany, N. Y,
as the scene of her venture.
When she left the r. S. Belcher COM
pany of Pittsburg and organized the
NJ. Nj. Belcher company Of Albany,
N. Y, all but three of her former en-
ployees applied for positions with the
new concern, and this loyalty is testi.
mony to her great popularity.
Personally Mrs. Belcher is delight

Gus as to her personal appearance,

Throat ana Chest Exercises.

Following are some arm movements
for developing the throat and chest, to
be used in connection with a breathing
exercise: For what is called the side
sweep arm exercise stand erect, with
the arms at the sides, then lift them up
vertically, Initiating the lungs as the
arms ascend. With the arms in YER
teal position raise up on the tiptoes
and throw the head back, touching at
the same time the backs of the hands
overhead. AS the arms slowly descend
exhale. For the front sweep initiate the
lungs as the arms are brought to ver-
teal position, look up and raise on tip
toes, keep the elbows straight and
touch the thumbs when the arms are
raised above the head. Exhale as the
hands are returned to the side. Raise
the arms in front of the body, with the
hands relaxed and the back of the
wrists upward. Then raise them above
the head, bring them back and down
ward to the side, then up above the
head again. Don't make these move
ments in a jerky, awkward manner,
but slowly and tremendously.

become young woman and suffering

become young woman and suffering
the agonies of ditfidence as wallflow-
err at a party, is an object for pity.
1t may seem idle to try TO overcome
girlish difiidence by an ethical argu-
ment, but if once the timid girl can
bring herself to regard the terrifying
social group as simply her lessons and
examples she may gradually find her
fear melting into admiration and so in
to wholesome imitation.
Social grace is largely the self for
getting ability to put oneself in an
others place. All the easy give and
take which is the chief charm of the
husking in the country or the afternoon
tea in the city is the result not of genius
for conversation, but of practice in the
art of entertaining. That art is ac-
quired with far less toll than skill in
playing the piano or in embroidery or
in cookery.

To Fluff the Hair.

To make the hair simply fluffy with
out curling it moisten it with prepa-
ration of two grams alcohol or rectified
spirits of wine, one ounce cologne, half
ounce bicarbonate soda and four ounces
rosewater Every night rub every inch
of the scalp with cold water, using a
clean nailbrush, if you want to keep
your hair in good condition. Once a
week use a tonic. An excellent one is
made of alcohol, one pint; sweet oil,
one ounce; tincture of cantharides, one
dram. Use few drops of any essence
you prefer to perfume it. A good way
to apply any lotion to the head and
hair is by means of a nailbrush or the
finger tips.

The Nurse.s Dress.

A child's nurse should always wear
wash dresses, and this is especially
necessary if she is to care for young
infant. If the conventional black dress
is to be worn it is best to have it made
of sareen or other washable material;
also it is very necessary that no pins
should be about the waist or belt.
Many an ugly scratch on baby's soft
little cheek is due to a pretty pin in
the nurses collar

The Hot water Remedy.

A wornout woman who retires at
night or lies down for few minutes
rest at MONDAY with feeling that
sleep is impossible should try the hot
water remedy. Simply battle the face
and temples, the wrists and cords Of
the neck, in water as hot as can be
borne. For daytime nap the dress
should be loosened at the throat and
waist, or, better still, the clothes should
be removed entirely, just as when re-
firing for the night. A glass of hot
water with little sugar and few
drops OF lemon juice is favorite drink
Of Frenchwomen and is an excellent
sleep producer. Eau sucre, as it is
called, takes the place in France often
occupied by tea here.

Make Your own Iratpins.

Making her own hatpins is the fad of
the smart girl who likes variety in this
line of jewelry. This is simple and in,
expensive, for ordinary black or white
hatpins can be bought for cent
apiece. The head is removed, and one,
two or three Venetian beads are placed
on the pin in its place. To hold in posi-
ton gum arabic is poured in the cavity
Of each bead. 1t is pretty idea to use
large turquoise bead with small one
at each side. One girl who possessed
several Chinese garments removed the
buttons, which We're very artistic, had
jeweler plate them and made hatpins
out of them.

She Is the Active Head of an eExten-
sive Publishing House.
For energy, enterprise and independ-
ence Minnie NJ. Belcher, pretty young
woman of about twenty-seven, who is
the very active head of an extensive
publishing, house in Albany, N. Y,

managing the affairs of her own COM

scription books and newspaper premi-
ums and which does the largest bust

the kind in the country.
Before organizing this business Mrs.
Belcher was at the head of her hus-

Handkerchiefs.

To keep handkerchiefs good color
instead of dampening them before iron
ing proceed as follows: Put two quarts
of tepid water, with five drops of blue
and small piece of lump starch, into
basin, and into this mixture dip each
handkerchief separately, thoroughly
wetting it, and then squeezing it as dry
as possible. When all the handker-
chiefs have been treated in this way
spread them out smoothly on a clean
cloth or towel until they can be ironed.

Correct Dressing.

A clever writer gives this sage advice
to young ladies apropos of correct dress
ing: Remember this, the right sort of
man will never notice you are pretty
If you wear the wrong things on work
aday occasions. You can be attired
charmingly, becomingly, attracively,
but all your men friends will turn aside
with a contemptuous smile, and other
women (who know better than you do
i-an awful condition of affairsD may
tell you that you are dressed inappro-
priately,s making you feel like the
nightmare when you went to King Ed
wards ball in a bingham pinafore
trimmed with red worsted braid. No;
the right sort of man admires you much
more if you look mediocre in Tam
O'Shanter and a crayenette coat on a
wet day than if you appear in your IA
vorite chiffon blouse and rose wreathed
hat. He will realize you have pretty feet
clad in gray suede shoes in six inches
of mud, but he will think you fool at
the back of his mind. There are so
many women who have pretty feet, my
dear reader, so many fools! And bear
the reverse of the picture in mind, do
not overdo short skirts and thick soles;
do not cultivate skin like that of a
Gladstone bag nor hair like your favor
lite hunters tail. There is a medium i
all things, though so few women can
seem to realize it. The true art Of
dressing well is to know where clothes
come in second, and very bad second
