Modern cities are not noisy those OF
other days. For example, In London in the
time of King George II the streets were
still cobbled and the pack horses Of Eliza

carts and wagons. Barrels of beer and
heavy cases were dragged about on drays
of iron without wheels. and to add TO the
tumult heavy signs In immense frames OF
ironwork hang out in front of shops and

Sensible Advice From

%THERE seems 20 be a growing
doubt among women who nave

whether or not massage IS as
beneficial to the face as it was
once supposed 10 be. Certainly there can
now he little doubt that unless one Is pro-
ceediug under the advice OF persons OF un-
doubted p~obity and experience one is safer
IN leaving massage OF the face alone. 1T IS
quite as apt 10 produce wrinkles and iiaboy
cheeks as II is 70 cure them, and no wom-
an. unless she has made a thorough study
OF the action of the muscles can be abso-

harm than good by massage. Here is what
one welI-knOwn beauty doctor says about
It: NO amount of rubbing Will keep the
muscles up 70 the mark. and do not listen

Partisan beauty doctors are now giving
exercises for enlarging the eye and also for
obtaining beauty OF expression Ocular
gymnastics" the treatment is called and II
seems likely to add another straw to the
burden of being beautiful which the woman
Of today is obliged to carry. The exercises
TO enlarge the eye consist mostly of longi-

which the lids are slowly raised, slowly

Among Partisan novelties for the toilet is
a new red grease paint which will wash of
with water, This is considered most desir-
able by persons who use such things. A
new lip saIve has also been invented, which
is said % be particularly good, as 1t does
not wash off. 1t is In liquid form. \ new
powder has also been invented which is so
fine and SC adhesive that IL Will not rub of
on black coat sleeves when used on the
arms.
But even more interesting is the new
solidiicd scent which has been invented
and which may be used to heat curling
irons when one Is travelling and alcohol Is
troublesome to get The same cube of solid
ited scent may be used for tooth powder,
for the bath, to burn as incense or to heal
cuts or bruises At least, so say the Paris
ian perfumers Perhaps they mean the
solidiiied scent TO be used in connection
with faith cure. But then what SPECIFIC is

PRESTON
Copyright, 1905, by E. S. Mcclure

Endicott was duffer. There was no
shadow of doubt about that. He could
neither swim nor sail boat; he played
golf in a manner that set his caddy
offering suggestions; his dancing was
a cross between prim walk and an
awkward skip; he sat on a horse with
as much grace as he would have strad-
died an elephant. Moreover, his lack
Of conversational powers had given
him a reputation for taclturnity that
was far from flattering.
"Why on earth Mrs. Saunders should
ask him down for the month l can't
See" one Of the young women confided
to bronzed young fellow as they sat
together in vine made nook of the
broad veranda one evening.

equation" he returned. What sticks
me is why the deuce he accepted the
invitation" Whereat they both laugh

drought Up" In College.

One of the most original characters
Of the Welsh pulpit was the Rev. Lewis
Powell, Cardiff. While on visit to
Carmarthentown on one occasion he
called at the college, and the students
were all for the first time to pay him
homage
Can / have the help Of two Of you,
my boys, for minuteT' asked Mr..
Powell.
Eyes, dear Mr.. Powell" answered
half dozen of them at the same time.
"Well. / want two lusty boys, If you
please" he remarked, and two Of the
strongest students were chosen. "Now,
me lay hand on the shoulder of each
Of you, and you put your arms around
me-"
This was DONE
Lift me, boys" said Mr.. Powell, and
the students lifted him until he was
head and shoulders above all present
in the room. Thank you, my boys"
he remarked. LET me down now"
This was done. Then one of the boys
asked:
What is the meaning of this, Mr..
Powell?"
The answer was: "Well, some people
look down on the church in Cardiff be-
cause Mr.. Powell, the minister, was not
brought up in college. / can go back
to Cardiff now and tell them that I
was raised in Carmarthen college and
that / stood higher than all the other
students. "-London Tit-Bits.

Swedish Rule In America,

New Sweden was established in 1858
on the bank of the South river, the
Delaware, on territory now embraced
In the city of Wilmington, Del. The
first settlement was of some fifty pio-
neers from Gothenburg in the ship Key
Of Calmar and the tender Griffin, I'M
der the direction Of Peter Minuit, a
discharged director of the New Neither
lands. For kettle and some trump
cry they bought all the land on the
west bank of the river from Cape Hen
lopen to the falls near Santickan, now
Trenton, running back "as much In
wards from It In breadth as they might
want" The Dutch, who claimed the
territory, Illuminated threats from Fort
Nassau, but prudently refrained from
blows. New Sweden prosperea from
the start and soon controlled the trade
Of the Delaware. This prosperity en-.
dured until 1855, when Peter Stuy.
vesant invested and reduced Fort Chris
tina, thus putting an end to Swedish
rule in America.
