said Hal l will go and ask Ned"
Away he ran, and in few moments
came back with his chum, to talk ov-
er with mother and to make further
plans.
Some days later, when the stage
had carried off its one passenger,
two boys were seen going round
bright and early to the little garden
back of the house and every night
after school they worked for half
hour or so. Mother would not let
them work long enough at any one
time to tire and to make the plan
seem irksome. Papa shared his seeds
with the boys, and came over once
in while to see that things were
done properly.
Mrs. Hancock extended her visit to
six weeks. and when she came back
the yard was neat and clean, the grass
moved and thick as carpet, the
rockery was covered with morning
glory vines and nasturtiums, while
up through the soil the beets. radishes
and garden things were showing
bravely. Under her door was card:
please accept the garden, with the
compliments of Hal and Ned"
The next day. when Hal came home
from school, his face was radiant.
"You were right, mother" he said.
She didn't know how to like us.
Why. it's just the best game in the
world to make people pleased, isn't
it?" And mother thought it was

The Shah Afraid in the Dark.

When the Shah called upon NJ.
Curie in Paris recently, to see the
wonders of radium he did not like
the idea of dark room. His grand
vizier suggested drawing the curtains
of the room, but M. Curie persisted
that blackness was necessary. There
upon the Shah called NJ. Paoli, the
Freach detective protector of royal
ties, who assured his majesty that
there was no danger. So the party
descended to the underground apart
ment in the hotel known as the safe
room. NJ. Curie began expounding
the properties of radium, and then
gave signal for the electric light to
be switched off. Immediately panic
seized the shah's suite (says the
Chronicles correspondent. and all
cried out, in Persian and French,
Light! Light! Turn on the light!
The electricity was switched on
again. and the disappointed savant
was forced to show his radium in a
lighted room.-London st. James Ga
Zette.

COMPLEXION Dont,s.

Don't use any but pure soap.
Don't neglect the daily bath IL you
want 2 radiant complexion.
Don't use hard water for face or
hands, as it roughens the skin and
causes it to lose its satin-like tex.
ture.
Don't be afraid of sunshine; 1t
gives bloom and color. Where the
sun does not enter the doctor must, i"
is an old Japanese proverb.
Don't fail to expose the skin to
the air as well as the sun at least
once daily: this makes the flesh firm
and hard, and tie harder the flesh the
more perfect the skin.
Don't use violence in massaging
the face, for it will not stand being
pounded. The manipulation must be
gentle and even, or the skin will be-
come coarse and leathery.
Don't f1ex the last joint of the fin.
gers In all forms of massage this
joint should be extended, fleXation be-
ing limited to the second joint and
the knuckle In this way one gets
broad surface for contact with the
part which gives pleasanter. as
well as more effective massage.-New
Haven Register.

ANCIENT FURNITURE.
The Couch Was Most Important In
Homes of Egyptians.

-.
The couch was one of the most i'm.
portant pieces of furniture in the
homes of the people of ancient Egypt.
1t was used at meal times to recline
upon, as well as at night for bed.
Probably the earliest mention of the
bed Is to be found in II. Kings, ".
chapter, of the Old Testament, when
Elisha visited the Shumenite about
500 B. c., and We are told Of the
preparations for the reception of the
prophet, LET us make little cham
Der, pray thee, on the wall, and let
us set for him there bed, and n
table, and stood and candlestlck,"
and another incident is about 420
years later. in the book of Esther"
when upon abiding to the grandeur
OF the palace Of Ahasuerus, we are
enabled to catch glimpse Of Eastern
magnificence in the description of the
court Of the garden of the kings pal
ace, where We're white, green and
blue hangings, fastened with cords Of
fine linen and purple to silver rings
and pillars of marble; the beds were
of gold and silver. upon pavement
of red and blue, and white and black
marble" The beds of the masses
then consisted of coarse stuffed pill
lows or cushions thrown or piled in
corner of the room or placed around
its sides and used for seats by day
and beds by night There were
great many head rests in vogue Mt that
time. used in connection with large
straw sack, upon which they slept.
Later n platform little higher than
n seat was built up at one end of
the room and the bed was prepared
for the sleeper by placing cushions
around 1t. The Egyptians were the
first people to make movable beds.
With the advent of the Greeks, who
received their first rudiments of art
from the Egyptians came changes
and Celebrations of the old forms.
The furniture and utensils of the early
Grecian house could not compare with

No Occasion for Worry.

Apropos of the doubt expressed in
some quarters respecting the Identity
of Paul Jones body, an old story may
be retold. The aunt of a wealthy
American died in Australia and wish
ing to have her remains rest in her
native town he made arrangements
to have them brought to this country.
When the casket arrived he thought
he would have last look at his DO
loved relative, but found to his amaze
ment that the body was that of SOL
der in the uniform of major-gen-
eral. Wiring for an explanation to
the Australian undertaken, in due sea-
son he received this reply: Keep
general. Aunt buried with full mill
tary honors."-Cougresatien allst.

then she kissed Hal on the forehead.
But what makes you think so?"
"Well she drove us away when we
were down there this morning. and
we were not anywhere near her land
either. She has only that tiny bit
of garden and it is all full of rocks.
She was irving to make a garden in

"But what reasion had she for send

but supporting her husband as well.
He was quite willing to entertain her
with stories of the war, but these did
not seem to compensate for the added
burden she had unwittingly assumed.
She insisted that Damon's children
should make some provision for him.
This led to misunderstanding and
family quarrels. and they finally took
the old man to farm IN New Hamp-
shire, to which the young wife refused
to go.
No separation other than that de-
scribed was sought or desired. Damon
never ceased to crave his wife's COM
panionship; she, in turn, while unwill-
ing to be dependent upon the Damon
family, spared enough of her meager
earnings to keep him clothed. and IN
In some way Damon got money to
make a trip to Boston to visit some
friends, and from this outing he never
returned. He died on the journey,
which was probably too much for his
failing strength. but whether in going
to or coming from Boston is not clear.
After the death of her husband.
which in the circumstances cannot
have been very keen bereavement,
Mrs. Damon realized that she had
other duties than self-interest alone
suggested. Her mother was then old
and poor and friendless. Esther took
her and cared for her to the end of ner
life. To enable her to do this she
leased little farm near Reading, VT,
and worked it as we'll as she could
with the help of hired man.
After her mothers death she did not
feel equal to continuing this profitless
and unsatisfactory enterprise, and re-
turned to Plymouth Union to take up
her residence with an old resident OF
that place, Mrs. Snow, who had
house, but no income. In that house
she has lived for the past sixteen
years, and there she hopes and ex-
poets to remain for the rest of her life.
During n period of many years she
has been in receipt of Federal pen
sion Of So per month, and this meager
provision had to suffice In large de-
gree for the needs of both old women.
The pension has lately been increased
to S24 per month.
With the exception of slight deaf
ness. Mrs. Damon retains her faculties
remarkably. -,
