 Then there Is another type of wo- man, the lady who Is never willing to do anything for the amusement of others. She never wants to play for the others to dance, not she! She all ways wants to dance herself At picnic she Is the last one to slice the bread or pass around the cake, she is too busy eating, and when dish washing time comes, s-le Is not to be found anywhere
 The art of agreeable conversation counts for much in making wo man popular. We hhay not all of us be witty, but we can tt least remen- Der witty and amusing things that we have read or heard. What people want to do is to laugh. The world is serious enough as 1t is. If you haven't anything amusing to contribute stay at home until you have.
 l Many a young woman has missed good share of fun by ieavlng the old- erly members of the party unnoticed | A little attention to tho old women is only right, and 1t pays.
 The secret of being popular consists l in making every one like you, and it cant be done if you persist in being selfish and thinking only of yourself.

THE MAD DOG FALLACY.

with Some Suggestions ON How to
Treat a Bite.
In all my own experience with dogs
l have not only never seen mad
dog" but have never known a dog
owner-and by that mean man who
has had experience in keeping dogs
who has seen one. If, then, rabies is
so exceedingly scarce, hydrophobia be-
comes really an impossibility, and the
fear of 1t should be dismissed without
a thought.
A person may get dog bitten; but, In
the language of the New York tough,
Forget it." If 1t is a bad bite 1t may
twitch later on, and you may begin
worrying, so 1t is a good plan to get
rid of the twltching or throbbing In
order to forget. I have been bitten so
often that l think no more of 1t than
a mosquito bite, and this Is what do:
If 1t is on the hand l put it under
the faucet and wash thoroughly, with
the object of cleaning the wound and
preventing Inflammation from any dirt
or foreign substance. While doing this
some one is getting the bicarbonate
of soda and some clean rags or lint.
With water a cream paste of the soda
Is made sufficient to plaster the wound
well; then, putting some on rag it is
applied to the wound and bound up.
If in the course Of an hour or more
the application seems to be drying. a
little water is poured on the bandage
to soak through to the soda or the
hand dipped In water-James Watson
In Country Life In America.

Don Simplicio to dispel the clouds Of

But there is one fault about It," he

evening
what Is it?'
TIL tell you. In the third act, where
the conspiracy takes place, they draw
lots to ascertain which of them is to
kill Charles V. Now, what was drawn

times running-that is too much"

IMPROVING HER SKIN.
One Searcher After Beauty Tells of
Her Experience.


Her Experience.
II wish the papers would quit pub
fishing these articles that tell you how
to be beautiful" says young matron.
81 was fairly content with myself till
began to read them. l had an aver
age good skin, too, but I've steamed it
and creamed it and massaged 1t till
it's a wreck. I've been for two weeks
trying a new beautifier for 1t. I've
been rubbing my face with slices Of
onion. 1t makes your eyes water, and
it gives you an unattractive perfume,
but the article said it would produce
the soft, yelvety skin of child, and l
kept 1t up. Yesterday my husband
rose in his wrath.
"'What on earth makes you rub your
face with onion? he said Wouldn't
limburger cheese do for a change
Why wouldn't potatoes or asparagus
do as well? Does it have to be onion p
+" 1T does l said.
"'You'll have to show me- said he.
Let me see the article that turned your
brain. 1 don't believe it says onions.
believe it says any vegetable you
happen to have in the house,
This made me furious, and brought
out the article. What do you think 1t
said2 1t didn't say onions. 1t said Gu
cumbers l knew 1t was something
you put vinegar on. That's how hap
pened to get mixed. After this I'm
going to let my face alone, but 1 shan't
hear the last of that onion beautifier
till l die "-Washington Post

-y,.-@a ,s 1881 in Scotland by a gang OF
villains who stole the body of the Earl
Of Crawford from its resting place In
the family mausoleum at Dunecht. The
perpetrators Of this CHASTITY deed per
formed 1t In wonderful manner. The
body Of the earl, he having died in TIA
ly, had been embalmed and placed In
three collins. The inner one was of
Italian wood, the second case was of
lead and the outer one of oak. Thus
secured the body was consigned to the
family mausoleum, the entrance to
which was covered with f1agstones,
over which was a thick layer of mold,
set with grass and flowers. The
thieves, breaking through every obsta-
Gle, distracted the body and bore it off.
For more than year no clew to either
the missing body or to the perpetrators
Of the crime was discovered. Then an
old poacher related how he had seen
men commit the robbery.
They had, he declared, sworn him,
with terrible threats, to secrecy, and
he had till now held his tongue in ter
ror. He pointed out the spot in the
wood where they had hidden the body,
and the corpse was found buried there,
wrapped In some thick blankets. The
old poacher was himself accused of
having had a hand in the deed and,
being placed on trial. was found guilty,
receiving a sentence of FIVE years pc
nal servitude instead Of the reward he
had anticipated.
The multilations Of cattle for which
the young solicitor Edalji was, upon
evidence that most people who had
studied the case considered very in
conclusive, sent to penal servitude
were initiated by wretches in many
parts Of the country. Whether the ter
rible Whitechapel murders, known as
the Jack the Ripper crimes, were all
the work of one man or Of a man and
his imitators is doubtful point in de-
tective circles

which his name is now associated, more
or less correctly The list is an as
founding one, ranging as it does from
Aranjuez and La Granja in Spain to
Wilhelmshohe and Oranienbourg in
Pamphill in Rome to Hampton Court
and Kensington gardens in England.
But, directly or indirectly, he is re-
sponsible for the spirit of all these de-
signs, as he created a school of out
door art, which, modified and adapted
to suit various conditions and climates,
spread over the civilized world and is
the foundation of all the landscape art
of today. 1t was he who first released
gardens from their medieval swad-
ding clothes, widened their narrow
borders, did away with their childish
decorations of Enthusiastically clipped
trees and made them instead dignified
parts of a splendid whole To some
people his gardens do not now seem at
tractive on account Of what is called
their severity and GOODNESS, but we
must remember that they were entirely
appropriate to the places for which
they were designed and perfectly fitted
for their uses and are consequently ar

and you carry an insurance of $1,000,
for which you pay the big premium
Of $125 year. Now, if you are arrest

are able to get the best of lawyers for

The well known intelligence Of rocks
Is curiously illustrated by their use of
potatoes. A clergyman in north Wales
noticed that twice In the course of
the year the ground beneath rookery
was strewn with small potatoes. This
happened in the breeding season and
also in the autumn, before the winter
storms begin when the birds reassem-
BILE to carry out repairs necessary
against rough weather The potatoes
were all about the same size, but the
observer was at loss to discover their
use to the rocks An old parishioner
supplied him with this explanation:
The rocks employ the tubers for meas
uring the inside of their nests to salts
fy themselves that the dimensions are
correct for the accommodation Of their
eggs. The potatoes when measured
agreed very closely with the size Of an
average rocks egg.-London Standard

PITIABL.E IMPRoVIDENCE.
The Way Money Is Wasted Through
Ignorance of Food Values.

Ignorance of Food Values.
Examples Of glazing ignorance Of
food values may well be culled from
the notes of those experts who have
visited the poor of the different cities
In the slums of Chicago it was found
that woman whose husband was out
Of work and whose family was living
on few cents day bought lettuce,
food so innutrltious that, at least when
out Of season and high in price, 1t is
luxury even for the rich. This woman
sacrificed the inexpensive but nutri-
tious classes of foods for leaves con-
tanning over 80 per cent of water and
Is per cent Of refuse. 1t has been
truthfully said that a man would
starve to death on a diet of lettuce
alone.
Pitiable improvidence was found in
the New York slums. A Waterman
was feeding his family at the rate of
IA cents per person day-all that he
could afford-yet his wife bought ex-
pensive cuts Of beef instead of the
equally nutritious cuts of lower price;
also large quantities of butter whose
value might have been invested in
dried beans and more bread. She also
wasted money on soda crackers and
jumbles costing two or three times as
much as bread and containing no more
nutrition. 1t was estimated that his
wife might have obtained about eight
times as much nutrition for her mon
ey had she substituted dried peas for
green peas. Another large saving
would have been the substitution of
fresh for condensed milk.-John E.
Watkins in Reader Magazine.

THEY WERE GLUTTONs.


The Commands of the Eighteenth
Century In England.
Plenty was the watchword of the
eighteenth century gormand in Eng
land. His tables groaned under an ar
ray of food warranted to take away
the appetite Of all save the Gargan-
tuas of the day. One blessing was
evolved from the old sops and the later
bisques and olios- soup, which now
was ever the prelude to the dinner. 1t
was removed for meat or fish-a chine
Of mutton and three ducks in the case
Of Squire Hill at Teddington, who, for
entrees to support them, offered pull
let's with eggs, fillet of beef and scol-
lops, turkey en- daube, stewed carp,
veal la royale, fricaSseed chicken
with ham and pigeons for center DISH
This was but the first course or relay
Next came the roasts-two pheasants
and four cartridges and six teal, and
now, for side dishes, sweetbreads and
marrow, four woodcock and ten snipe,
salmon and smelts, marrow pudding,
fore quarter of lamb and oyster loaves
For center dish, mince pies And men
ate and survived, and still had heart
within them to wait the removal of the
cloth, and, greeting the dessert, sat
over the mahogany until indeed they
fell beneath it After all, gormand is
not the name for such as these. They
were gluttons.

A VAST STONY WRECK.
The North Cape, In Norway, Is Almost
the Worlds End.

The North Cape, In Norway, Is Almost
the Worlds End.
The North cape, Norway, is not quite
the most northerly land in Europe, but
it is far enough north, dismal black
point Jutting out into the sea nearly
a thousand feet high. Leading to the
top is a rough path not difficult to as
cend unless it be wet and slippery.
From the top to the edge Of the cliff
Is a half mile or more of hard walking
over stones or through mire.
At last we come to the edge of the
cliff. The sun, though it is nearly IL
o'clock, has almost reached the lowest
edge Of his daily path, but Is still far
above the shimmering sea. You stand
on that lonely point feeling, except for
the presence of those around you, that
you are quite out Of the world in which
you have hitherto spent your life. You
stand without on a rock pelted by ev-
cry storm of wind and snow. Attacked
by the fiery summer sun and pitiless
winter frost, no wonder that neither
tree nor shrub nor scarce a flower can
exist Among the most solemn places
on the globe 1t must be reckoned the
worlds end, vast stony wreck pro-
jecting above the wide waste Of wa
ters.-Albert L. Bolls in Booklovers

Fairy Rings,

Probably we have all seen In the
fields or ON the edge Of the woods that
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy folk came to be doubted it was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground of the fairies. In the
moonlight the spirits danced, wearing
down the grass under their feet. AT
least so our grandfathers said, but we
must take sciences simple explanation
Of it. A fungous plant will soon exhaust
all the fungous food from the soil be-
meath it, so that only the spores which
fall outside this barren spot will take
root and flourish. So the ring is always
widening outward, forming perfect
circle unless something interferes with
it. The rings are abundant in wet
weather, of a buff color or reddish

How Flies Walk on window Panes.
The microscope reveals the neat con-
trivance which enables a fly to walk up
window pane or defy the laws Of
gravity by gliding along, back down
ward, on the ceiling. The magnif1er
shows the foot to be made up of two
pads covered with fine, short hair, each
pad having hook above it, Behind
each pad is bag filed with sticky
liquid which oozes out whenever the
fly puts his foot down. The amount
which is pressed out of each foot is
very small indeed, but, taken all to-
gether, it is amply sufficient to hold
the insect in any position he chooses.
