orlqin of "Hamfatter."

A correspondent to the New York
Sun gives the following account of the
origin of the word "hamfatter"-a
term OF derision applied to actors
Years ago, before cold cream became
a feature OF the makeup box, actors
used a preparation of ham fat for re-
moving the crude greasepaint of their
times The less prosperous ones, for
the sake of economy, contented them.
selves with the fat side of ham skin,
which they carried about and used
just as a wood cutter does in greas-
ing his saw. This practice had dis
astrous effect on the complexion and
caused Thespians to be recognized at
once by the cracked and discolored
appearance Of their faces. Hence the
term 'hamfatter.

May sleep in Life Preservers.

Passengers on ocean liners may
soon be able to sleep in life preserv
ers, if the plans Of E. Salvador, a New
York inventor, do not go awry, saws
the American Inventor. To sleep with
4 cork jacket on is out of the question
SO the inventor decided to make q
preseryer that would become effective
only by its coming in contact with the
water. 1t works on the principle
Of a water-generated gas which fills a
belt and gives it buoyancy. Uninfat-
ed, the belt is light thing. which
would hardly be felt If worn by a
sleeper, but when filed with gas it
IS blown up to the size of an ordinary
cork jacket. The belt is made of rub
Der. and is about eight inches wide
and can be blown up by means of a
small cylinder. In this cylinder is
placed composition of acids which,
when acted upon by water, instantly
initiates the belt. The belt has been
tested in the ocean, and it has been
found that the water acts upon the
acids and initiates the rubber in less
than three seconds. The ingredients
in this composition Mr. Salvador keeps
secret.

Come. Night. upon thy raven wings.
Plumed with their rich imaginings,
To I'LL my dreams and charm away
The din and clamor of the day.
Fling thy deep shadow over me
TIL by thy weird necromancy
Thou hast dissolved this solid care
And made It shapeless with the air.
Come with thy cup of dreams and be
An angel ministering to me.
As one who. weak from battling lies.
Uneonquered. but too worn to rise.
The warrior. Day, has harried me,
A foeman pitiless is he.
Yet vanQuished when, with plying eve
And palm of peace Thou CONTEST nigh.
Come with thy velvet darkness. Night.
Thy cloak Of mail so soft and light
Yet turning every missile sent
From Care. as fails an arrow spent
Come. Night. upon thy raven wings,
Plumed with their rich imaginings.
And through the gathered darkness keel
The vigil OF thy sister. Sleep.

tunity to study the conditions OF the
indian home and to better them They
are distributing points for medicine
and good counsel. They silently but
unobtruavely break down opposition
to American dress and customs
Above all, they keep the Indians al
home.
Some teacher has said that If the
day schools did no more than keep the
Indians at home they would be worth
all they cost. These schools should
have the best and most valuable Chris
tian men and women in the service
They should have a man for teacher
with his wife for housekeeper and

One of my Indian neighbors came to
me and asked to be taught how to
make light bread. She brought her
flour and was shown how to make the
sponge. This she took home and the
next morning the writer went to her
house, showed her how to knead the
bread, how to make it into loaves and
how to bake it, but after some time
the woman brought the dough to the
teachers home, requesting her to bake
it for her.
After all was finished she said:
Well. this is all a great deal of
trouble and it takes altogether too
long. When we want bread we want
it right away" Another neighbor re.
marked: THE light bread is like a
sponge, nothi1 g to it."

it is subject of remark that the great

A young man states that he had suf-

which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheuma-
tism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the wait

he did, and found the food agreed with
him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different than
be had for years. The perfect diges-
ton of the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says: 1.-THE next morning l was

morning.
Diet.
| The diet should be generous one, in
Guiding meat, and occasionally fresh vege-
| tables.
| Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
| short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
| day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm

Love Is Blind,

What color are her eyes? What shade !
You ask, but could never tell.
They're just her eyes, and God ne'er mad
Another pair of eyes SO we'll
Hair gold or brown? Well. this know,
To think ont is my chief delight
No sun in summer time doth glow,
Nor moon at night CLEAN half as bright
Lips red? What. Seest thou not her kiss
God knews-my senses cease to be;

I'D die for the reality.
Each night vow to stand apart
And learn to name her every charm;
But long before she comes my heart
Is sounding in wild alarm.
And at bound I'm by her side,
All, far too close to recognize
Aught but the welcome quick implied
The loving laughter in her eyes.

An AUTO" IDYL.


The automobile owner crawled
With haste into his car
And said good-by, for he was called
To travel fast and far.
He grasped the steering wheel with Gee
And gave the clutch yank.
And then. with objurgations, he
Climbed down again to crank.
Again he mounted to the seat
Prepared like wind to fly,
Yet there he fingered in the street;
The water tank was dry.
He filed the tank; it seemed cinch.
Once more he starts to chauf.
Behold. he does not move an inch
The differentiaPs off.
Tn rage he tolls with might and main
Till he is faint and weak;
Again he starts--and stops again;
The tires sprung a-leak.
The shades of night are falling fast,
But JOY illumes his brow
He shoots ahead-his troubles past,
Pray, who can catch him now2
And yet, around the corner, we
May find this same machine;
Its owner is not there, for he
Has gone for gasolene.
