when one has cold; to the back
when 1t aches and to the nape of the
neck when one has headache or

remedies.
When the eyes become infamed
douche of not water gives them

MY LApY,s LOCKS.

Do you know the rich, clear, brill
liant brown of the topaz? All those
adjectives fail to describe its clear
deep golden qualities, if you don't
know it. At any rate. topaz-colored
hair is the latest thing, if your locks
are of such a shade that they can be
cultivated into a topaz-like bloom,
blessed are you among women.
But don't dye them. for that will
take off the rich, shining bloom. 1t is
merely a question of cultivating and
invigorating, and urging. the hair to
bloom as the gardener urges the rose
to flourish.
The reason for this popularity Of
topaz-colored hair is the reported
transformation of : the hair of Mrs.
Spencer Clay, formerly Miss Pauline
Astor, who recently appeared at a
London dinner with her hair a new
color. 1t had been changed from
dark, unsatisfactory hue, to a remark
able new brown-a topaz-brown, the
same color as the brilliant Brazilian
Jewel, of which the young woman has
whole apronful.
The enhancing of Mrs. Clay's beau
ty has been brought about by treat
ment by an expert hairdresser. He
had used no harmful drugs, either.
And now topaz-cclored hair is the
rage.

Thanked for the News.

When Everett E. Stone was in
augurated Mayor Of the city OF
Springfield, two years ago last Janu-
ary he was extremely nervous, and
he viewed somewhat impatiently the
long line of citizens waiting to shake
hands and offer congratulations. He
answered most of the complimentary
greetings with "Yes, yes, thank you,
SIR"
A friend of the Mayor noticed his
stilted expression Of thanks, and
came to the conclusion that the new
Mayor did not know what any one
was saying to him.
"T'll bet he'll make the same
answer if should say the most out
landish thing could think of" the
friend said to companion. "Now
watch me and listen.'
He got into the line and worked his
way up to the Mayor.
"The river is full of ice, Mr.. Mayor"
he said in a loud tone, SO that those
around him could hear, and the
Mayor answered, "Yes, yes, thank
you, SIR" and then the Mayor won
dered at the gale Of laughter which
swept over the crowd.-Boston Her.

CHEESECLOTM THE HOUSE
WIFE'S HELP.

A carefrr housewife can attain won
ders with bolt of cheesecloth. She
can transform summer ugliness in a
home to dream of color beauty. For
instance, the woman who has to stay
in town the greater part of the sum-
mer and does not wish her house TO
become prey to dust and flies, will
wrap up her pictures and bric-a-brac
with newspapers, or at best with
dingy old covers; anything for pro-
lection. Now, with very small
amount of trouble and expense,
cheesecloth wrappings will answer
the same purpose, and yet add beauty
to the rooms instead of ugliness.
Small china and glass ornaments
strewn around the drawing room or
sitting room may be put away in
some convenient closet while the
larger pieces and the picture may be
entirely covered with cheesecloth, the
softness of which makes it easy to
handle, and yet II will give ample
protection against dirt and flies.
I remember seeing last summer
perfectly charming room that friend
of mine had converted from a rather
stiff parlor. Mating took the place
of heavy rugs, and pretty white art
ticking, with pink rose design, COW
cred the furniture. Every picture,
mirror, and large ornament either of
china or bronze, was entirely wrapped
in pale pink cheesecloth. Curtains
of the same material and color
(reaching to the sills), adorned the
windows, and were tied back with
pink ribbons. The effect was simply
delightful. The same woman had
made her dining room equally at
tractive to using yellow cheesecloth
in it, and one of the upstairs rooms
was covered with sky-blue.
The whole color scheme was car
ried out in its coverings, and these in
variably toned in with the wall paper.
Her house was in this way well taken
care of, but instead of being made
ugly, was quite "a thing Of beauty"
and she laughingly said it would be
"a joy forever" as next year it would
be the same old story; the cheese
cloth would wash, and even if it fad
ed little, would still retain its deli
cate color-at all events, it was vast
improvement upon newspapers and
similar wrappings.-AmyD Darcy Wet

WHY WOMEN TAKE HUSBANDS
NAMES.

The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name of
her husband at marriage is involved
in much obscurity. A recent author
ity advances the opinion that it origi-
mated from a Roman custom and be-
came common after the Roman occu-
patton of England.
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey and Oc-
tavia of Cicero, and in later time the
married women of most European
countries signed their names in the
same way, but omitted the "of."
In spite of this theory, it is fact
that as late as the sixteenth century
and beginning of the seventeenth CEN
tury a Catherine Parr signed her
name without any change, though she
had been twice married. We also
hear of Lady Jane Grey, not Dudley,
and Arabella Stuart, not Seymour,
etc., says the Philadelphia Inquirer
Some think that the custom origi-
mated with the Scriptural idea that
he husband and wife are one. This,
was the rule of law as far back as
1868, and it was decided in the case
of Won VS.. Smith, in the reign of Eliz-
abeth, that a woman by marriage
loses her former name and legally re-
ceives the name of her husband.

FUNNY STOCK.
Some Of the Freaks on PennsyIvania's
Wild Animal Farm.

Come good crops or bad, the wild
animal farm does thriving business.
Its cosmopolitan population, gathered
from Asia, Africa, India, from every
cline, do not take kindly to farm
work. The camels refuse to plow; no
amount of urging will induce the
zebras to do the work of horses; nor
will the yaks or the sacred cows do
the work of ordinary oxen. Actually
the farm is great animal boarding
house, with "boarders" from all over
the world. The farm, which COM
prises some 800 acres, is located near
Allentown, Pennsylvania. Its popula-
tion last year numbered more than
300 head of different kinds of stock
and comprised large and fairly COM
plete menagerie.
During the summer months the en-
tire population of the wild-animal
farm travel about the country in the
vans of the Greatest Show on Earth"
Early each fall the animals return to
their quiet Pennsylvania farm to en-
Joy a well-earned vacation. 1t is a
great day for the countryside, for
miles in all directions, when the cir
Gus comes to the country. The great
herds of camels, dromedaries, yaks,
buffalo, llamas, and the rest, are ship
ped to the nearest railroad point and
paraded across country to their win
ter quarters. The caravan makes a
very pretty picture as it moves slowly
along, up hill and down dale, over
the quiet country roads.
The winter residents of the wild
animal farm are known in the circus
as the lied stock" In the cross
country march to the farm it might
more correctly be called the pulled,
pushed. or hauled stock" The jour
ney is usually very exciting. In the
various parades of the Barnum and
Bailey circus throughout the country,
these same animals will remain per-
fectly passive in the streets Of great
cities, no matter how loudly the band
may play, the calliope whistle, or the
small boys shout. But, strange to say.
a quiet country lane affects them very
differently. and they will balk as only
a camel can, shy at the most innocent
bush of tree, crash through high
fences or hurdle them. and go flying

HOW TO ACQUIRE A BEAUTIFUL
MOUTH.

The mouth is bound by no beauty
laws, and has but one requirement,
that it be shapely. The most beauti-
full shape is the "Cupid's bow" In
all cases the lips should be fresh,
brilliant red. The lips are too fire.
quently neglected, and because sensi-
tive they deserve tender treatment.
The best and simplest emollients are
cold cream and vaseline, while sweet
olive oil, though disagreeable, is oft
en- beneficial. A small quantity OF
either of these should be put on be-
fore washing or going outdoors.
Gentle friction with rough tower
is a good if not lasting method of i'm
parting color to pallid lips. If the
mouth is washed out after each meal
it will tend to keep the breath sweet.
Limewater is a good WASH for the
teeth, mouth and throat. To rinse
the mouth night and morning with
water in which are few drops OF
listerine is particularly desirable

RECIPES.

Candied Brazil Nuts-Put cupful
of water in a saucepan over the fire,
add three cupfuls of granulated SUI
gar, and let it boil gently till it hard
ems when a little is dropped in cold
water; flavor with extract of lemon.
Take a nut meat in a pair Of sugar
tons or pair of confectioners' tongs.
Set the saucepan where the syrup will
keep hot, but not boil; dip the nut
meat into the syrup. Wave it gently
back and forth till cool, then lay it on
buttered paper Continue this pro-
cess till all the nut meats are candied.
1t is a slow process, as only one can
be dipped at a time, and often each
meat has to be dipped the second
time. All sorts of nuts may be cam
died TN this way, but Brazil nuts and
English walnuts are best. This Is
nice work to teach the children to do.
Shrimps a la Creole -Shrimps pre-
pared in the chafing dish make de-
liciQus supper dish. Chop half of
small onion and a Glove of garlic and
fry in two ounces of butter. Put in a
can of shrimps and cook fifteen min
utes over the hot water pan, adding
half a pint of canned tomatoes, few
tablespoonfuls of French peas, sea-
son with salt and red pepper.
Nut Pralines-Pralines are deli.
cious; as a rule they are made with
hickory nuts, but they are better with
English walnuts. Take two cupfuls
of hickory nut or English walnut
meats, two cupfuls of light brown
sugar, a small saltspoonful of cream
of tartar. half cupful of water, and
a saltspoonful of extract of vanilla.
Put the water, sugar and cream of tar
tar together in an enamelled sauce
pan over a slow fire. Stir gently till
the sugar is dissolved, then boil till
it spins thread when dropped from
a spoor. Lift the saucepan from the
fire, add the nuts and vanilla, and
stir until thick as cream and httle e
sugary; then drop in little pats on
buttered paper or places well butter
