MAKE A DUTY or BEAUTY.
A Woman May Keep Her Good Looks
Long Time IF She Will But Be
Patient and Persistent.

One woman, whose face at 60 is as
fresh as that of many a woman under
40, ascribes her comeliness to the fact
that she takes a good quarters of
an hour to get ready for bed each night
and goes to sleep happy in the knowl-
edge that she has done all she can to
make herself look charming.
In a comfortably warm room she
smoothes the wrinkles away from her
face by means of a good bath of good
cold cream applied with the finger tips
beneath the eyes, and on the temples,
and with rather more force under the
chin, Where a course of tapping mas
sage is pursued to tone up the mus
cles that are rather too apt to relax
there and give an aged look to that
part of the face.
Two or three times week she has
her hands massaged, and goes to bed
in specially prepared gloves lined with
almond cream to whiten the skin and
prevent the wrinkled look that elderly
hands often exhibit Her weighing ma
chine she describes as the thermometer
of her appearance. When the scales
show that she is little too thin and
probably lacks stamina, and its opin-
ion is emphasized by the lack-luster Of
her eyes and the hollowness of her
cheeks, she prescribes for herself a
course of hot milk slipped very slowly
as If it were food the last thing at
night, and the first thing in the morn
ing cup of good chocolate taken in
the same manner
Should the weighing machine tell
different tale and she notices that she
has put on flesh, she abstains from
foods that contain starch, and once
week goes without her dinner alto
gether, taking instead few slices OF
dry toast after a cup of good Russian
tea, without milk and sugar, but fla
vored with lemon. Another of her fa-
nous rules of abstinence is the dinner
of one dish only, for she holds it a
truth as it undoubtedly is, that no one
can eat to repletion of one dish, where
as the appetite may be tempted by diff
ferent ones to it's own undoing.
Every afternoon this elderly woman
takes 40 winks, which she extends from
ten minutes to half an hour when she
has an evening engagement in view.
Her favorite cosmetic cream is made
of the very simplest overwhelmingly,
two ounces of the oil of sweet almonds
heated until it is all but hot, and then
taken from the fire to have stirred into
it a tablespoonful of white vaseline.
A few drops of her favorite scent 10
added and the whole beaten with a
fork until it forms a coherent macs.
With this, when it is cold, she mas
sages her face each night and keeps it
lovely and soft and pretty.
Tepid water, in the estimation of this
authority, is better for the teeth than
either hot or cold water, and the
brushes used should only be moderate
ly hard and two in number, the ordi-
narily long-shaped one and a little
round one for rubbing the teeth up and
down. SC as to clean all the parts
equally. which one brush fails in doing
Cheap brushes where the bristles are
not properly fixed should be avoided
at all costs.

STOCK AND FARM SCALES.
Without Them the Farmer Is at the
Mercy of the Men with Whom
He Deals.

American farmers use more farm
scales and farm machinery than the
farmers of nay other country. AS we
improve our stock and general farm
methods we find the necessity for
stock and farm scales to weigh what
we sell, and often we find it pays to
weigh what we buy. Nearly every
thing the farmer raises to sell goes by
weight. If he sells bunch of cattle
or hogs he has to take the buyers fig
ures, and the buyers usually make al
lowance for shrinkage, which in most
cases is more than enough to get the
animals to market. If a farmer sells
a load of hay or grain to dealers, the
weight they allow is usually according
to the price they are paying; if the
margin is small they make it upon
weight. The old story of the absent
minded miller who took toll after his
man had done so still holds good, re-
marks the Midland Farmer; and the
farmer who has not got a wagon or
stock scale may lose more every year
than the cost of one.

Tailored Linen Suit.

A tailored coat and skirt of linen is
q practical thing if thoroughly shrunk
before making and well tailored,
though the cheap coat and skirt suits
of linen are likely to be distressing OBJ
iects after their first Tubing. Tailors
who cater to exclusive trade are MAX
ing I'D severely tailored coats, semi
fitting in the back, straight in front
and finished with plain coat collar and
coat sleeve. These coats usually hut
ton in double breasted fashion, with
large pearl buttons, and are strapped
and heavily stitched. The skirt is gored
and strapped or plated in some Sc
we're way, but any plated skirt drives
the ordinary laundress to despair and
failure, and the plain gored- skirts look
better in the long run.

In the Nick
of Time
BY DUKE CUYLER

Upon the east branch of the Saco,
away up under the shadow of Dou-
blehead, Elias Towle built his cabin, ana
then commenced the work OF clearing
the forest about it.
His family consisted of wife and
two small children, a boy and girl
The former was five and the latter three
years of age.
Early and late the pioneer worked at
his task, and one after another OF the
forest trees went laundering to the
ground, letting in the golden sunlight
where shadows had reigned before.
Thus through the summer he labored
on increasingly. only quitting his work
long enough to care for the little patch
of corn which he had planted in the
springtime, and to keep themselves well
supplied with game, with which the for
est abounded, or with delicious speckled

COLLIE RECEIVERS THE CAT
Smart Dog Takes Long Journey to
Find the Friend of His
Youth.

A family living in Vermont removed
from their longtime residence to an
other village, some 40 miles away.
They took with them a Scotch collie
of unusual intelligence, but left behind
the family cat, says the New York
Times. The collie and the cat had
been warm friends for several years
and had fought each others battles
with courage and impartiality.
After the family reached their new
home the collie was evidently lone
gathered about the open fire some re-
marks wele made about this, and the
man of the house. patting the collie on
the head, said Il am sorry that we
did not bring George with us. You miss
your old playmate, don't you?" The
next morning the collie had disap-
peared. Three days afterward he came
joyment, indicated in the usual dog
way, followed by George, the cat.
Both seemed somewhat excited, and
the collie showed marks of battle.
Each seemed greatly delighted in the
company of the other. and the old-time
status quo was at once resumed.
Out of curiosity inquiry was made
by the family, both at their old resi-
dence and along the line of the main
highway between the two places, which
developed the fact that the dog APP
peared at the old home, very deliber-
ately and very distinctly induced the
cat To start on the journey with him
and had protected him en- route, with
clash of arms for nearly every mile.
OF course, the question arose as to
the language by which he told George
his wants and what inducements were
offered to go with him on che hazard
Gus journey.

After using this method for awhile she
