The panama Is leaf hat made In
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru from the

a yard in height, but the leaf stalks are
two yards long.
The leaf before 1t has opened is pre-
pared for the manufacture of bats. 1t

The Raby Beetles Cradle.

If, at almost any time of the year, we
walk through the woods where the red,
scarlet, black or pin oaks are growing
that is, where we find those that ripen
their acorns In two seasons and there
fore belong In the pin oak group-we
shall probably find on the ground fallen
branches that vary in size from that of
a lead pencil to that of ones thumb or
even larger. These at the broken end
appear as if cut away within the wood,
so that only thin portion is left under
the bark. Within the rather uneven
cut, generally near the center of the
growth, is small hole tightly plugged

BRIEF REVIEW.
Get Rid Of Vitality Sappers.

Debt is great force-waster, because
very few men or women can be heavily
in debt without worrying or being anx-
ious. II you are SO deeply involved
that it is impossible to extricate your
self without going through bankruptcy,
then take your bitter medicine at once
and start again, no matter who criti-
cises or denounces you. Pay your
debts in full afterwards, when you are
able. Get rid of all vitality-sappers. If
you have taken an unfortunate step re-
trace it If you can. If you have made a
mistake remedy it as far as it is in your
power to do so; but when you have
done your best let the thing drop for
ever. Do not drag its skeleton along
with you. Never allow what is dead
and should be buried to keep bobbing
up and draining off your life capital in
worry or vain regrets. Do not do any,
thing or touch anything which will
lower your vitality.

Russia's Ruler Owes This Title to the
Slip of \ Pen.
The car of Russia owes one Of his
titles to slip of the pen. The Chinese
character pronounced Hwang, meaning
emperor, was originally compounded Of
two elements, meaning 'oneself" and
ruler" by which it was intimated that
an emperor or ruler Of men should, be-
fore all things, be master of himself.
In after ages, however, by the omis-
sion of a single stroke, this character
assumed its present corrupted form, in
which the component elements signify
white" and ruler" white having TAX
en- the place Of the original "oneself."
Some years ago 1t was pointed out by
a ST Petersburg correspondent Of the
London Times that this had been liter

THREE RECIPES.
The Way to Either Can, Jam or Pre-
serve a Husband.

The Way to Either Can, jam or Pre-
serve Husband.
For this purpose select nice, kind,
amiable, Industrious, generous man.
The American variety is far better
than the foreign kind. Prepare him
by having him go through long en-
gagement, which effectually renders
him easy to handle. Gently detach him
from all Of his old friends and ac-
quaintances and remove any habits he
may have. He Is then ready to can,
preserve or make jam, as you choose.
To can, merely deprive him Of his
latchkey and throw handful Of moth
er-in-law In the house. Men corked up
like this have been known to keep for
years without spelling, though when
they are opened up, II kept too long,
they are apt to be sour. To make jam,
prepare as before, but shred all Of his
finer feelings by nagging and pound
them into a pulp by complaints. To
preserve husband, put as much love
into the heart as it will hold, add an
ocean of sympathy, world of tender
ness, a pound Of forbearance, dram
Of patience and drop him into it until
he is thoroughly coated over with sug-
ar. Husbands should always be crys-
tallized one at a time, never In pairs;
neither should they ever be stood In

TREATING A SPRAlN.
Perfect Rest and Hot FOmentatiOns
the First Requisites.


The question of how to treat sprain
is often raised. Everybody under
stands the nature of sprain; that
wrenching of joint whereby some of
the ligaments chose very useful bands
which unite the bones forming the
joint are violently stretched or per-
haps even ruptured. This kind Of In
jury is rarely, except through unusual
complications, dangerous In its nature,
but II is certainly very painful and
when of serious nature may result In
the permanent impairment Of the joint.
Such an injury, IL ut all severe, Is i'm
mediately followed by marked swell
ing of the parts, and prompt attention
should be given anticipating the sur
geon's coming. The very first item In
the treatment of sprain Is perfect
rest of the limb until doctor can be
summoned Reduce the swelling by
applications Of hot lamentations as hot
as can be endured, changing about
once In every three hours. If piece
of oilskin be not at hand use common
newspaper. Wind it carefully outside
the hot cloth. This will prevent the
escape of the steam and prevent the
cloth from cooling. A good way to
save the hands from being scalded is
to place the hot, dripping flannel In
towel, then, taking hold Of each end of
the towel, to wiring it until the flannel
is dry enough. to apply.

THE QUEST OF BEAUTY.
What One Woman Suffered For the
Sake of Her Appearance.


You must suffer to be beautiful, ac-
cording to a French saying. There
seems to be some truth In the state
ment, if lady's maid is to be believed
She has revealed the secrets of her
mistress boudoir, or, rather torture
chamber. The lady herself is now
beautiful, but one wonders that she is
still alive. For months she lay fiat on
her back on the floor, motionless, with
her arms close to her sides, during sew
eral hours every day. This was, 1t ap
pears, to improve her figure. During
the rest of the day, for the same period
of time, she sat on high stool, giving
and rocking the upper part of her body
backward and forward and from side
to side increasingly. By this process
she is said to have acquired a statu-
esque throat and sylph's waist. The
lady's nose, having soaring nature,
was corrected and made Grecian by
the constant application day and night
for months of spring bandage. One
nostril was originally larger than the
other, so she wore small sponge in 1t
for year. Her cheeks have been
filed out and rounded by injections of
paraffin. Her ears for months were
compressed against the sides of her
head by springs, while heavy weights
were attached to the lobes to produce
the required elongated shape, which
has been successfully achieved Hav-
ing suffered this complicated martyr
dom for year, the lady as already
stated, is now beautiful.-Paris Letter.

Forget Once In Awhile.

The health Of the body as well as Of
the mind depends upon forgetting. To
let the memory of a wrong, of angry
words, Of petty meanness, linger and
rankle In your memory will not only
dissipate your mental energy, but it
will react upon the body. The secre-
tions will be diminished, digestion i'm
paired, sleep disturbed and the general
health suffer in consequence. Forget
ting is a splendid mental calisthenic
and a good medicine for the body.

THE FIRST PRINTING.
some of the Earliest Examples of the
Art Preservatlve.

sohe ot the Ehriiest Examples OF the
Art Preservative.
The following are the earliest known
examples of printing-two indulgences,
printed usually on one side only of a
single piece of vellum and two magnif-
ieent Bibles. OF these one Is known to
be the first complete book that ever
was printed by the wonderful new In
vention, which, as the early printers so
often proudly state In their colophons,
produced letters without the aid of
any sort of pen, whether of quill, of
reed or of metal.'
The first piece of printing which is
actually dated Is the famous indul-
genee of Nicholas V. to such as should
contribute money to aid the king of
Cyprus against the Turks. This indul-
gence has the printed year date 1454,
and copy in The Hague museum has
the date NOV. 10" filed in with pen.
Mr.. Duff tells us that 'in the years
l45i and 1455 there was large de-
mand for these indulgences, and seven
editions We're issued. These may be
divided into two sets, the one contain
ing thirty-one lines, the other thirty
lines, the first dated example belong
ing to the former"
This thirty line edition Is shown to
have been printed by Peter Schoeffer
de Gernsheim by the fact that some Of
the initial letters which occur In 1t ap-
pear In another later indulgence Of
1850, which Is known to have come
from his press.-Saturday Review.

YOUR GRIP ON YOURSELF.
Retain That Though You Have to Let
Everything Else Go.

Everything Else Go.
Some people get along beautifully for
half lifetime perhaps while every
thing goes smoothly. While they are
accumulating property and gaining
friends and reputation their characters
seem to be strong and well balanced,
but the moment there Is friction any
where, the moment trouble comes-a
failure In business, panic or great
crisis In which they lose their all-they
are overwhelmed. They despair, lose
heart courage, faith, hope and power to
tr. ,gain-everything Their very man.
hood or womanhood Is swallowed up
by mere material loss.
This Is failure indeed, and there Is
small hope for any one who falls to
such a depth Of despair. There is hope
for an ignorant man who cannot write
his name even If he has stamina and
backbone. There s hope for a cripple
who has courage there is hope for a
boy who has nerve and grit, even
though he is so hemmed in that he has
apparently no chance in the world, but
there Is no hope for a man who cannot
or will not stand up after he falls, but
loses heart when opposition strikes him
and lays down his arms after defeat.
Let everything else go If you must,
but never lose your grip on yourself.
Do not let your manhood or woman
hood go. This is your priceless pearl,
dearer to you than your breath. Cling
to it with all your might. Give up life
itself first.-Success.

been giving them spiel about the
factory work."

As l said before, there are ways and
ways of making living, and the max
ing of plaster paris busts and figures as
ornaments is another vocation which is
piled principally by oar foreign element
and mostly Italians. Recently visited
a place where they manufactured the
wares by wholesale. AS l drew near
the door of basement room in an al
ley l heard the sweetest music. Two
boys were singing in clear musical
voices some soft italian song, now
plaintive, low and sweet, then joyous
and triumphant, while every now and
then a mans strong bass voice joined
in the refrain. waited until the song
was finished, half doubling as to
whether l had been directed to the
right place. In answer to my knock,
the old vendor had seen ON the street
time and again threw open the door,
and invited me in. OF all the cosy,
quaint surprises, this home would carry
off the palm. In the corner of the sit
ting-room was an odd-looking, old-fash-
ioned piano, there was an old violin
that looked as though it had seen many
years Of service, and the mellow notes
from this old violin would have caused
a professional to envy the old statue
dealer. There was also an accordion
and a flute. Some old-fashioned brass
candle sticks on the mantel and an old
clock that slowly licked the hours away
surrounded by the various statuettes,
both colored and white. The floor was
spotless with two or three bits of car
pet thrown here and there before the
chairs, which consisted mainly of raw
hide seated chairs with three old rock
ers and hair cloth sofa. In the winA
dow hung a canary that was pouring
forth melody of song from his little
golden throat. But what interested me
most were the boys, neither one of
them over ten or eleven years of age.
One was as fair as the morning, with
eyes as blue as forget-me-iiots, golden
curls that covered his little head in
rings and fell a shining mass to his
shoulders. and-an exquisite pink and
white complexion. His face was almost
spiritual in its beauty. The other boy
was typical italian, big brown eyes,
dark hair and handsome little fellow
1 own 1 was startled at finding the
fair-haired boy in the place. Then the
father explained that his wife had been
a golden-haired German girl and the
boy resembled her, while the other son
took after his side of the family. He
told me with tears in his eyes how the
wife had died soon after coming to San
Francisco. The piano was hers and
everything was just as she had left it,
The boys sang several songs for me and
played on the different instruments. 1t
was one of the happiest little families I
had ever seen. A few days after l
noticed from the papers where there
was a warrant out for the arrest of the
old image vendor for have the children
selling images and begging. l called
at the house day or so later, but
it was deserted. The old man had fled,
taking the boys with him, and it was
whispered among the neighbors that
the golden-haired child was not his,
but that he had stolen him from wealthy
people and fled from sunny Italy.
