ments of the dancer with the twisted
head would puzzle everybody and
cause no end Of fun.
The makeup is quite simple. A
false face and a wig are the only ar
ticles required besides the ordinary
clothing. The wig should be rather
scant of hair, so as to enable the wear
er to see through it, but thick enough,
at the same time, to conceal his face.
The false face is put on the back
OF the head. and the wig worn over the
face, and. hat should be worn. A
vest and loose coat are then put on,
hind part before. and the makeup Is
complete.
The wearer can add greatly to the
effect il he will enter into the spirit OF
the thing and act it thoroughly. He
should walk backward, forward and
sidewise. and turn his head every now
and then. every movement being so
grotesque that the spectators would
be convulsed with laughter.

Now, children, be very attentive.
What does this spell?
Ghoughphheightteau
Why, potato, Of course. You don't
mean to say you couldn't guess it?
How do we make it out? Easily
enough.
Gh stands for P, as you will find
from the last letters in hiccough.
Ough stands for o, as in dough; phth
stands for T, as in phthisis; eigh
stands for A as in neighbour tie
stands for T., as in gazette; and
eau stands for o as in beau. There.
That spells potato, does it not?

dealers in Girard, Pa. .
We tried our best to get those men to
sell Devoe lead-and-zinc in that bright
town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs
E. Il. Bowman. druggist.
They said they couldn't sell paint for
more than ST. % a gallon. Mrs. Bowman
can. She has sold about all the paint,
that has been sold there since.
She knew Devoe, had sold our artists
materials. Had some sense and force
besides; she easily learned that cheap
is dear in paint. ard told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought gallon De-
voc for rooms that had always taken n
gallon of other paint: had half left.
MIR. e. H. Hiler. Jeweler. painted De-
voc, and says it goes further-no parti-
culars.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it
before he bought it; brought
back nearly half of his paint, and said it
was the cheapest job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal salts
