A scientist who has listened to the
voice of a housefy through the micro

The world grows more and mora
eager, apparently, for the production
or the preservation Of beauty of form,
feature and complexion in women. Adj
vertising columns glow with the rhet-
ORIG which describes cures for every
known disease which may attack beau
ty, and devices for the ready manu-
facture Of desirable moses, chins, fore
heads and skins" The days of the
wrinkle are numbered, If one may be-
lieve these persuasive testimonies; and
the double chin, the pug nose, the
prominent ear, the freckle and the Ill
set tooth may all become the easy con-
quest Of dermatologist and surgeon.
There seems at first sight to be no
balm in Gilead for the woman who is
cut off from the use Of these devices,
or with whom they prove ineffective.
Must she presently find herself desert
ed by friends and ignored by foes,
simply because she has not the radiant
physical charms which her more for
tunate sister has purchased in the mar
ket? Is 1t not rather consolingly like
ly that plainness will by and by be-
come SO unusual as to be IN itself
distinction? The age will doubtless
continue to demand such beauty as
must be the accompaniment Of health.
A sallow skin, a languid eye and the
obesity of idle self-indulgence will
never be in fashion again. But among
generation of professional beau
ties the strong, plain face Of a plain
woman may be relief, until the beau
ty monger may find his occupation
gone in general reaction against his
wares.

Monument of Gold.

If YOU should be fortunate enough to
take a trip to China and visit Yang
tse, you would see a monument of
which the Chinese are very proud.
Well they should be, for it is the only
one in the world of it's kind. 1t is of
pure gold, and because of it's great
value is attached to the roof of the
pagoda where it stands, with heavy
chains of strong iron. This monument
is an object of great curiosity, and be-
cause of it's value-being worth $1,000
0O0-has to be guarded night and day
lest robbers take it away. Several at
lacks have been made upon the Brah-
Minis who guard it, but so far it has
been bravely defended by them.

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 be-
lieved these rings we're the dancing
ground Of the fairies In the moonlight
the sprites danced, wearing down the
grass under their feet-at least so our
grandfathers said, but we must take
sciences simple explanation Of it. A
fungus plant will soon exhaust all the
fungus food from the soil beneath it, so
that only the spores which fall outside
this barren spot will take root and -four
tsh. So the ring is always widening out
ward, forming perfect circle unless
something interferes with it. The rings
are abundant in wet weather, OF q buff
color or reddish.-St. Nicholas.

MOSQUITOES and Yellow Fever

1t is believed@to have been deroon-
strated fully by our people in Cubs
during the occupation by our soldiers
that yellow fever is propagated only
through the mosquito. Men slept in
yellow fever quarters, on bedding on
which yellow fever patients had lain
and died, yet had not a touch of the
disease. The only precaution was to
bar the mosquitoes out
