Recipe for Beauty,

A pretty woman must first Of all
have clearly cut, regular features. She
must have full, clear eyes. She must
haxe q skin that is above reproach,
untouched by rouge and powder. She
must have glossy hair that has never
known the touch Of bleach or dye.
She must have q white, expressive
hand, preferably a small one, but not
Of necessity, if it is we'll kept and
white. She must know how to put
on her clothes, or she loses half her
beauty. She must fully understand
what best suits her in the way OF hair
dressing, and cling close to that> A
woman may have al these attrac-
tions, and unless her own personality
is charming, unless she has tact, it
dawns on you, after you have seen
her once or twice, that she is not =
pretty woman. The most fascinating
-omen to men usually have less than
Aalf these regulation charms.

DATES BACK TO ANCIENT ROME.

Expression "Not Worth His Salt" a
Classic Form of Speech.
When we say man is not worth
his SALT said philologist, I'VE use
an interesting and classic form of
speech. We go all the way back, in
fact, to the time of the ancient Ro-
mans.
"The Roman workers in the salt
mines were paid in salt. The salt that
they got in return for their labor was
called their sal arium (sal-salt): or
salt allowance.
"The word salarium, meaning salt
money, or allowance for salt, later on
was applied to the fees, or tips, men
got for odd jobs. For patching my
toga,' the noble said, I will give that
fellow a slight salarium-a bit of
money to buy salt with
FINALLY, 'salarium' came to mean
wages, salary, what it does to-day. A
salary is essentially salt money, and
when we say man is not worth his
salt we mean he is not worth paying
wages to."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Lottery OF Book-selllng.

Opie P. Read sold his first novel
outright for 1925. This was "Len
Gassett," and the purchasers were
Houghton. Mifflin & Co, of Boston.
The novel did not sell very well. but
q Chicago publisher fancied he could
make money out OF the copyright. To
this publisher the Boston firm sold
the copyright and stereotype plates
Tor 500, and the Chicago man forth
with printed new edition and began
to push it with the trade. Up to this
time 60, 900 copies of the book have
been sold, and the sale continues
steadily. The same publisher took
1gnatius Donnelly's story Of "Csesar's
Columns" after it had been rejected
in manuscript by the leading publish
ers Of the country, and $50, 900 cop
les of this. work have been sold al.
though $500 copies had to be given
away before newspaper critics could
be induced to read and notice the
book.-Chicago News.

Fire Company Organized.

AS the result of energetic attention
given to the matter by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, excellent pro-
gress has been made towards organizing
a fire company. All that remains now
to make the work complete is the Official
sanction of the village council. The
proposed membership roll contains the
names Of sixteen citizens who have VOL
unteered for service.
A meeting was held at G. H. Carhart's
Office last Thursday to place the matter
in shape to be presented to the village
council. John Woods WAS chosen az
chief of the company and s. G. Murphy
as secretary. The whole proposition
was carefully considered and a commit
tee was appointed to wait on the coun'
Gil and ask for authority to purchase
equipment for bucket brigade, it beng
the purpose Of the company to serve in
this capacity until the proposed fire sys'
TEN, now under investigation by another
committee, is established. A committee
was appointed to prepare an ordinance
to govern the fire department, and for
the purpose of expeditinq matters spe.
cial meeting of the village councll will
probably be held at an early date. A
committee was appointed to prepare by
laws to be adopted by the company.

A PLEASANT PROSPECT. &
Seven Probabilities OF Human Amt.
hllatlon.

Seven Probabilities OF Human Annl-
hllation.
For the benefit of those nervous
about it the following seven plans are
suggested for the final winding up of
business on this terrestrial ball:
l. The surface of the earth is stead
lily diminishing; all the landed portion
will at last be submerged and the last
man will be drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accumulat-
ing at the north pole and slowly melt
ing at the south; eventually the
earth's center OF gravity viii change,
and the last man will be killed by the
rush of movables when the catastro.
phe finally comes.
8. There is a retarding medium in
space, causing u gradual loss of veloc-
ity in all the planets. The earth,
obeying this law ofgravitation, will be
drawn nearer and nearer the sun, un-
til at last humanity will be roasted
from the face OF the globe.
4. The amount Of water on the
earth's surface is slowly drying up.
Finally the earth will be an arid waste
like the moon, and the last man will
die pleading Tor drop ofmoister with
which to wet his tongue.
$. A gigantic planet is likely to
tumble into tho sun at any time. In
that event our great luminary would
brace up and burn the earth and the
other planets in ito train to cinders.
6. With the beginning of the year g.
900 A. D. the human family will com.
mence to retrograde, and within L..
OOO, 900 years from that date man
will not be higher in the scale OF na-
ture than the plant ]ouse of to-day.
In this case there will be no "last
man."
Z. The suns fires will gradually
burn out and the temperature will
cool,in consequences. The earth's glac-
cial zones will enlarge, driving shiver-
ing humanity towards the equator.
At last the habitable' space will lessen
to nothing and overcrowded humanity
will be frozen in a heap.
It looks as though the "last man.
was bound to be left in a very unenvi-
able predicament. Who will it be?

Not Altogether Satisfactory.

A young civil engineer employed
some years ago on the line of the Ala
bama Midland railroad, while he was
at work in Henry county, Alabama,
CHANGED to meet a piney woods lass
with whom he became infatuated.
Among collection Of gifts which he
presented to her was parrot and 4
very pretty cage. After leaving the
section of the state where his lady
love resided, he returned to pay, her q
visit. After stay at her home Of
some minutes, he casually inquired.
Mary, how do you like your parrot?"
With some hesitation she replied:'
Not SO well, the meat was rather
tough" She had cooked the bird and
eaten it.

Housekeeping in RuIawayo.

Housekeeping in Bulawayo was
simple in one respect; so little variety
was possible that you soon learned not
to expect it, writes former resident
of that African town. '"We lived chief
ly on timed food, and thought our
selves fortunate in getting frozen meat
and Australian butter. Milk was very
scarce, and was mostly bought by the
hospital. have seen small bottle
full fetch 3 shillings (75 centsl In the
open market. Eggs were never less
than shillings a dozen, and lump
sugar pence (l6 eents) pound. So
it was rather annoying to have people
at home writing of our high rate Of
pay and totally unable to realize that
the cost of the bare necessities of life
were so great as to leave no margin
for amusements, even had they been
prOcurable."
