In almost all the civilized coun-

If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a worldwide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors OF Scott's Emul-
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the Objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the

people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.

IdeaA For Hracelefa.

The fashion of wearing tiny watch
in bracelet, which always holds more
or less for travelling, shopping or sporty
occasions, is suggested by the big jew
els that are being set in the arm adorn-
ments. While a watch bracelet is of
leather, these new-old bracelets are of
gold.
A big catochon or cut stone that has
served in days agone in brooch or ear
rings is now just the thing to have
mounted in a bracelet, either n plain
gold band or one in the link design.
For such resetting the semi-preclous
stones are in as great vogue as those
which cost more. Only the workman
ship must be superb, or the effect is
loud, cheap or dowdy.
Should the family jewel box contain
many such old pieces there is no more
attractive use for them than to have
them reset in a network oe silver or
gold links, forming one of the neck
laces so much in vogue, especially
with lingerie blouses.
One such in eruscan gold is set with
corals, which of yore adorned one of
grandmamma' "sets." The effect is
charming

How to Get Sleep.

l. If you have anything on your
mind, make a note of it." 1t is less
nerve expense to use a paper tablet
than TO use the brain tablet.
. Relax. Lie as Imply in your bed
as a year-old babe. "Rest, relaxation,
repOse." Station these Delsarte graces
at the approach to your nerve. If
your nerves are overtaXed they will
find rest; If not these three will stand
guard against a thousand so-called
duties.
8. You are too tense. When you
think, use the brain alone You can
not have repose Of mind without re-
pose of muscles. A well-known author
complained that his knees ached while
he was writing, and that his arms
ached when he was walking. He
broke down. Too tense.
4. Do no mental work after eight
o'clock in the evening. Associate only
with restful persons.
8. Place q handkerchief wet in cold
water at the base of the brain. In
extreme cases, the sanitarium people
use the ice-cap filed with pounded ice.

A Wninnn Crnsna.

Beginning due west of Point Concep-
tion, on the California coast, and con-
tinuing at irregular intervals as far
south as the Bay of Todas Santos in
Lower California, lie the Channel ISL
ands. In this Ideal region for the
yachtsman, the fisherman and the hun
ter, one comes to feel like new
Crusoe on his primitive isle. And in
very truth Crusoe's seml-mythlcal story
was enacted upon one of these same
islands, though minus the man Friday
and the happy ending. The castaway
in this case was woman, a Danish
emigrant, left ashore through some
mischance by the crew Of vessel that
had sought shelter behind San Mich
olas during storm, In the early fiftles.
For over seventeen years the lone
creature lived unsought and forgotten,
though the time at length came, when,
on the days the mlst-clearing north
wind blew, she could climb to the ISL
and's highest point and view the
ranchers' herds grazing upon the main
land. And at last, when hope and
reason had both long died, the poor,
wild, gibbering creature was found in
her VOLTS burrow among the hills by
the advance guard of the otter hunters
fraternity, who had long wondered at
the mysterious footprints they marked
upon the lonely sands.--Field and
Stream.

Cutting ont the Aaents.

One result OF the widespread pub
licity recently accorded stories of fat
commissions collected by representa-
tiyes of local old-line insurance com
panies Is the organization of clubs
throughout Manhattan, the members
Of which propose to apply for policies
direct to leading companies. thus doing
away with the middleman's or agents
share in booking the risk.
These collective applicants figure that
inasmuch as their premiums viii cost
the companies no more than If the
business were placed in tho routine
way, it IS up to each company con.
suited to decide whether or not the
agents commission will be regularly
allowed for distribution among the
club members. The projectors claim
that the average company is too eager
to get new policy holders to decline
such proposltion.-NewY York Press.

with Small Means.

IT is very foolish of the woman OF
small means to try to keep pace with
the woman of Independent, or even
comfortable resources; but very often
n woman of taste and judgment, espe-
clally If she is skilled with the needle,
will make a better appearance on a
very small outlay than another would
do with large means. Careful plan
ming, judlcious outlay and purchases
adapted TO her circumstances must be
made. "The best of its kind" is a
good plan, but it is better to get the
best your purse will pay for, even
though the quantity be very limited,
and If the material be reasonably good,
it may be made over for another out
ing, with small addition to cost, thus
lessening the next seasons outlay. Be
sides, garment, cheap as to goods,
soon looks "cheap," and If nothing bet
ter than a mercerlzed cotton can be
afforded it is better than a fiimsy quail
ity Of snowy sllk.-The Commoner.

When Making Calls.

When making calls the married
woman gives the maid or man who
answers the door a card of her own
for the mistress of the house, and if
there are grown daughters or women
guests with whom she is acquainted,
she sends up card for each one of
them, also. If the call is the first of
the season, she invariably sends up two
of her husbands cards for the master
and the mistress of the house. At SUBJ
sequent calls it is unnecessary to leave
the husbands cards unless he has ac-
cepted an invitation to a dinner or
dance and is unable TO call in person.
To recapitulate little, she should,
If calling on a married lady with no
her family, send up one of her own
and two of her husbands cards, the
latter cards being intended for the
master and mistress of the house. She
sends up but one of her own because
there is but one lady in the family,
and It would not be correct for her to
send up card for the master of the
household, as woman is never sup
posed to call upon man.
An unmarried woman leaves the
same number of visiting cards when
out calling as her married sister, with
the exception, of course, of the hus-
bands card; that is, she leaves card
for each lady of the family whom she
wishes to honor with call.
When making calls, visiting cards
should never be handed to any one hut
servant. If, as sometimes happens,
when the maid Is out, or when no do
mestlc is kept, the lady of the house
opens the door herself, card is en-
tirely unnecessary, although even in
this case it can be carelessly dropped
in the card receiver In the hall as one
goes out. But to give it to the lady
herself, unless this was done to point
out change Of address, would be very
ill-bred.
When an invitation TO tea or after
noon reception is received, no notice
need be taken of it until the day of the
function. Then, II one is unable to
attend, visiting card, in an envelope
that exactly fits 1t, should be mailed to
the hostess. If the tea Is given for
some friends Of the hostess, or to in
troduce her daughter to society, two
visiting cards should be enclosed in the
envelope and directed to the glver of
the festlvity. When unable to attend
function of this sort one should al
ways send as many cards as there are
ladies whose names are mentioned on
the invitation. -Housekeeper.

For Another's Need.

No Japanese in the struggle before
Port Arthur ever showed more gener-
osity and courage than did an obscure
japanese woman far from the scenes
of war.
When Miss Helen Keller was at the
exposition in st. Louis, she visited the
Japanese tea-house, and for a few
minutes shook hands with some OF the
Mattresses, little olive-colored women
who spoke almost no English, but ex-
pressed their interest and intelligence
without words.
Many weeks after Miss Keller had
returned to Boston, she heard from an
official of the exposition that one OF the
Japanese mattresses had gone to a st.
Louis physician and asked to have one
OF her eyes taken out and given to
Miss Keller. When she was told that
such a gift was impossible, she wept in
bitter disappointment-Y Com

Value of Neatness.

Ask any one to explain why a certain
girl is regarded as pretty, and see if
you get direct answer. Probably you
will hear that "she certainly is pretty,
but really 1 don't know ny, for she
has not good feature in her face, and,
now l come to think about it, l have
seen prettier compilations"
She may have good figure, but that
does not alone make girl worth look
ing at twice, and certainly does not
gain her reputation for prettiness.
The pretty girl" you will find, is i'm
maculately fresh and neat looking.
Her hair looks well brushed, and Is
well and becomingly arranged; her
dress is well chosen in color and, how
ever simple in style, it is thoroughly
trim at the neck, and there Is never
6 suspicion of rags or untidlness about
her skirt or her pettlcoat
The little things" of that girls toilet
are not sluired over, and her hands
and feet are as dainty as care can
make them, for her innate refinement
makes her abhor the dictum OF the
sloyen that "all that matters is the
general effect, and little details are not
worth bOtherlng about"
Attention to these little details makes
MI the difference between the well and
badly dressed girl.

On the other hand, the renovated ma.
chine ran even better than he had
dared to hope. He had feared the long
stretch of deep mud always to be
found at the foot of Colinsburg Hin,
but the automobile dashed through It
with an almost appalling disregard
for its own shining exterior, only TO
lose. later, several precious moments
from sheer contrarness on the only
stretch of good road the boy could
hope to find.
But having started, Bartlett had no
intention of failing. He had to reach
a certain point by half past two and
lie meant to do ii.
A good part of the road, winding
among the hills, was unsheltered by
trees, and was exposed TO the full
glare of the afternoon sun. Riding
was not so restful as Bartlett had
hoped to find 1t. for be had not counted
on the nervous strain of guiding the
vehicle: and as he grew increasingly
weary, his hand lost its sureness Once
he had to work carefully round load
of hay standing motionless in the road
while its driver slumbered on top. Once
he accidentally sllthered into a ditch.
from which he could never have
dragged his vehicle without the time
ly assistance of passing farmer.
Twenty minutes after this disaster,
and pearly two miles from his destlna-
ton, a deep and unseen hole in the
road was the cause of sudden and
disastrous overturn. And the over
turn was the cause Of q serious break
in the steering mechanism that Bart
lett pushed the automobile into n thick
clump Of bushes near the roadside, to
be left until called for.
At half past two Mrs. Morgan's
train stopped at Forestville, sixteen
miles from her home TO take on pas
sencers. The little woman. still rath-
er tremulous, surveyed from her win
dow, although with very little interest,
the crowd on the platform. From this
occupation her glance strayed idly to
the road that led to the station.
Down this dusty thoroughfare a
broad-shouldered, long-legged lad was
running. There was something about
his gait that betrayed excessive weari-
ness. combined with certain air of
dogged determination. There was also
something about this overheated, mud
streaked figure that all at once set
Mrs. Morgan's heart throbbing with
almost uncomfortable emotion.
AS the runner approached, he lifted
his eyes suddenly. to meet hers at thu
window. Jostled by the crowd on the
platform, the boy elbowed his way to
the steps, leaped aboard the train.
rushed through the car, and planted
one of Bartlett's own ridiculous, bird
like pecks on Mrs. Morgan's lips. But
to her, who suddenly understood all,
no kiss was ever sweeter.
Their, was new, wonderfully hap
py look in her eyes as, n moment later
she leaned from the window to wave
her hand to Bartlett, who, already
homeward. had paused to wave hand
toward the moving train.-Youth's

Braid Is used on the white serge
suits, and especially on the skirts.
White serge has been revived, and
bids fair to become extremely popular.
Color is rarely introduced in white
costumes, and then only by some color
introduced on the hat.
A new fashion is that OF wearing the
Scotch cap with feather at the side and
two ribbons behind with tennis suits.
Many are putting elbow sleeves in
fine white waists and these are to be
worn in the house with any kind of
skirt.
Lace is not used on serge unless 1t be
bit Of real Irish crochet lace; but
hand embroidery is often used with ex.
cellent effect.
1t Is better TO count on having sleeves
elbow length In all blouses, and adding
elbow cuffs of sheer material whenever
they are wanted.
The suits of serge are unllned, and
the skirts are worn over full, we'll
