Drink Water.

Not one woman in a hundred drinks
enough water to keep her system in a
healthy condition. A sluggish circula-
ton and torpidity of the liver will
bring the dishguring blemishes. Dark.
shadowy, puffy places under the eye
make one look haggard, tired and weary
of life, Massage and electric treat
ment are good, but the main part of
the work Of identifying must be ac-
complished by oneself.
Any slight kidney disorder brings the
puffy look, and for this disorder
drinking plenty of water is one of the
finest remedies known. Sip the water
slowly and do not have too cold. Three
pints day is not a drop too much. A
good way is to sip big tumblerful half
an hour before each meal, to take an
other big tumblerful about two hours aft
er each meal, another just before retiring,
and another Immediately after rising.
Exercise daily nutritious food, deep
breathing, a quick hand bath with teDid
salt water every day or cold bath ev-
cry day, sleep enough to thoroughly rest
you, a thoroughly ventilated bed cham
ber-all these are necessary to the health
that means beauty.

BUTTON BEE.
Is the Worst Terror Since the kissing
Bug

A pest Of rather peculiar character
has been disturbing the folks of Flat
hush.
1t is known locally as ''button bee.
because of the rcma kable tenacity with
which it sticks TO clothes. 1t is about
the size of and similar in shape To
trousers button, and individuals have no,
ticed that once it gets its claws into
ones clothes it is almost impossible to
loosen its grip. When it is finally de-
tached it falls to the ground with buz-
zing sound, like that of the honey max
er. Hence, apparently, the name Of
button bee
Strangely enough. although the button
bee is sometimes as large as nickel
and always as large as dime. screens
are useless TO keep it out of houses. II
seems especially to like houses with
hardwood floors and persons called out
Of bed late at night receive the first
intimation of the presence of button
bee by standing upon il. when the hard
surface causes severe pain. Should it
chance that the button bee be on its
back, which is the position in which il
sleeps, it fastens its powerful claws into
the foot of the walker, causing acute
pain and a wound more or less severe.
In bleaching the crea ture, If a part Of

clans nave had several cases of this
kind.
A remarkable characteristic of the but
ton bee is that, like misery, L loves com
pany. When couples are sitting or the
porches nj night button bees are sure to
appear in great numbers. An observer
saws that this is pgnecially true of the
porches of houses which do not have
street lamps in front of them. Whether
the button bee is essentially lover OF
darkness is not known. Experts are di'
vided as to the species to which this new
bug belongs.
1t is remarked that in localities where
the button bees are most frequent mos
quitoes are not numerous. This sug-
gesfs that il is the natural enemy of
the more general pest. Some expert
ments are being made toward tee ascer.

The Grace of Forgiveness.

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult
of the Christian virtues. 1t is wanting
in many otherwise admirable characters !;
and sometimes the very lack of it is
transformed into a virtue. We do so
easily deceive ourselves. When the rare
occasion comes which permits us to look
down from our lofty moral pedestal upon
fine miserable sinner who has trespassed
against US, our vanity is vastly fiattered.
Our Lord, in the prayer that teaches to
pray. puts it in different
light. He charges us to pray first
for the forgiveness of our own
sins. which we must have, or be
lost Then he makes it absolutely
Necessary that we should be forgiving in
the same measure that we need for
giyeness. BY plan at once simple and
sufficient, God puts into our own hands
the fixing of the extent of his mercy
How much would you be forgiven? You
can settle that by deciding how much
YOU will forgive. with what measure
ye mete, it shall be measured to you
again. :'-Epworth Herald.

You May Be a
COuuette- but Dnn,t Elirt

1t is no compliment to be called flirt.
And yet there is not one girl out Of ten
who, in her inmost heart, is not pleased
when the term is applied to her.
There is a vast difference between a
tlirt and coquette. The former il arti-
tclal, the latter natural
The tiirt is deliberate, calculating, car
lug not who she may hurt. so long as she
Is happy. Her one idea is to have as
much attention as she can without en-
tangling her own affections.
The coquette is cOquette from the
cradle to the grave. She is spontaneous,
charming. With her no action is pre-
meditated; she is charming to all men
simply because she can't help it.
Coquetry is Unborn and cannot be cul-
tiyated. great many very popular
girls are neither coquettes nor tiirts.
They were not born to be the former,
they would scorn to be the latter.
The girl who leads man on and de-
liberately throws him over when some
new man appears should be ashamed of
herself. There is nothing to be proud of
in a conquest that drags a Sore humiliat-
ed heart at its chariot wheels.
The coquette is warm-hearted Iowa
bic. She will coquette with her own
husband. will hold him enchanted by her
eyer-varying charm.
The tirt will be a blessing to no man.
She is cold and schemes only for her
own ends. She will never be satisfied
with the love and attentions of one man.
The man who marries her must reconcile
himself to seeing her manOeuvre for the
attentions of every man she meets.
Girls, when you hear a girl spoken of
as "a desperate fiirt," don't envy her.
Remember that you can be just as at
tractive by being natural and sweet and
girlish.
The fiirt may have good deal of SUI
perticial attention. but if you notice yon
will find that a great many unmarried
women are spoken of as having been
great tiirts in their day. Perhaps if they
had not been such hirts in their younger
days they might now be happy wives.
Men are afraid of tiirtS. They want
womanly, lovable women for wives, not
Eighty. heartless women who are never
happy unless they have a dozen men at
their feet.
The girl fiirt is tolerated because one
feels that she is carried away by the
exuberance of youth and infatuated by
the attention she is able to secure. You
feel sorry for her, and hope that she will
change with time and experience
The married tlirt is beneath contempt.
Not only does she ruin her husband \
happiness. but she takes away from
young girls the attentions which by right
belong to them.
She can seek mans society without
being accused of trying to marry him.
She has had her chance, and it is
most unfair that she should interfere
with the girls chances.
Remember, dear girls, that if you are
born coquettes it is your brthright, one
of the charms with which nature has en-.
lowed you.
But if you are not do not spoil your.
selves by cultivating the spurious quail
ity; don't try to be Philadelphia

tlrely pleasing to her.
Ii she can do this and at the same
time refrain from obtruding her point of
view, and more especially. her own
claims 70 be understood, hattered and

popularity, but adds to the substantial
worth of her character
Instead of trying to impress others
with the consciousness of how much she
knows, she impresseS them with their

dazzle with a converse tiOnal display of
Wit and eplgram, she uses her skill to
turn the conversation into channels in
which her companions can swim at ease

into pools of inconyenient depth. She
need express no views. bur she must give
attention TO the views expressed by 9TH

listen well. Her reputation for clever
ness will not suffer.
1t Is as pleasant TO recognize by word
or look the graces and charms of our
friends as it is to enjoy and profit by
them. Profit we do undoubtedly. since
all that makes existence fairer, makes il
better, and wholesome discernment of
lovely traits. whether physical, mental.
spiritual. adds to our faith in humanity.
A genuine compliment is a sincere rec
ognitlon OF some excellence in our friend,
expressed IN gracious, tasteful words. Yer
there are implied compliments. which in
directly, but not less surely, carry pleas
ant messages. The warm welcome. the
radiant smile of approval, say more than
words can convey, and are Just as sig
nlhcant as mathematical exactness of
phrase The compliment of listening
with responsive. silent attention is one
of the surest marks of appreciation, and
the pretty way of quoting the opinions or
appealing to the judgment and taste of
our friends is mode of offering delight

QUEER THINGS IN POLAND.

Superstition Plays Leading Role
With Young Men and Maidens.
1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve
supper tables and for the young people,
blindfolded OF In the dark. to pick out
each a straw therefrom. Should the
straw be green the lucky maiden ex-
poets to wear a bridal wreath or the
youth to lead a blushing bride to the
altar during the approaching year, but
a dried straw foretells to either long
waiting. possibly even until death.
In other rural Polish districts on the
"Christ's eve" wine, beer and water
are placed by girl between two can
dies on a table. She then retires into a
corner or an adjoining room to watch
the result reflected in a mirror hung
for this purpose. If as the clock strikes
midnight man enters and drinks the
wine she is happy, for her wooer will
be rich Should he drink the beer, she
may be content, for the wooer will be
we'll to do. If the water be chosen, her
husband Will be very poor. But if as
the clock strikes no man comes to her
table the anxious maiden shivers with
more than midnight terror, believing
that she is doomed to be early the
bride Of death.
Poland is peculiarly rich in these
observances, spreading themselves
throughout the year. both sexes being
equally superstitious in this respect.
On New Years eve the young unmar-
ried men place themselves before fire
and, bending down, look beneath their
legs. Should woman appear in the
background it is the one they will
marry, but If they see shape as Of
coffin it forebodes for them death dur
ing the year close at hand

For nearly three weeks Arthur Sey-
mour Sullivan had watched by the bed
side Of a dying brother. One night
when the end was not far off and his
brother was sleeping, he CHANGED to
come across some verse Of Adelaide
Procter's which five years before he
had tried In vain to set to music.
In the silence Of that night watch he
read them over again and almost In
stantly their musical expression was
conceived. A stray sheet Of music
paper was at hand and he began to
write. The music grew and he worked
on, delighted to be helped while away
the hours Of watching. As he pro-
gressed he felt sure the music was
what he had sought for and failed to
find on the occasion Of his first attempt
TO set the words. In q short time It
was complete and not long after In the

birds on the Chesapeake. A small shy
snipe that flies with a twittering noise

Of its fondness for the horsefoot or
