The earliest looking glasses, or
mirrors, were of either metal, high
ly polished, or of black painted
mica. 1t is noted in Jewish history
that the laver was made of brass "of
the looking glasses of the women
assembling, which assembled at the
door of the tabernacle of the con-
gregation," and some commentators
conjecture that these women gave
up their bronze or copper hand mir
rors to supply the material for the
laver. Egyptian women always car
ried their mirrors to the temples,
and the Hebrew women probably
did likewise, as do the Arabian and
Turkish women today. Glass mir
rors are Of comparatively recent
date. Mirrors of silver and gold
were commonly used in mediaeval
times. In 1860 Venice became the
seat Of the manufacture of glass
mirrors, which have since suppressed
ed all other varieties, the improve
ments in the manufacture of plate
glass enabling mirrors to be made of
great size.

That high collars tend to produce
nervous headaches among both men
and women is the most recent discov-
cry of we'll known Vienna physician.
Quite accidentally the Doctors atten-
tlon was directed to the very high and
very tight style of collar worn by q
patient who was always complaining
of Headaches and giddiness. The col
lar was laid aside. thus removing the
compression of the neck, and the pa
tents headache and giddiness disap-
peared. Struck by this result, the
doctor paid particular attention to the
kind of collars worn by his "headache
patients" and In very many Instances
the change to lower and easier fitting
collars brought immediate relief. In
the case Of a woman wearing high stiff
neckbands 1t was found that doing
away with these had similarly bene-
ficlal result. The doctor declares that
nobody with any tendency to headache
should wear high collars.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

THE REFRIGERATOR.
Prevent Bad Odors, DO Not Have to
RemOve Them.

Prevent bad Odors, DO Not Have to
RemOye Them.
Occasionally 1 read the advice to put
bit of charcoal in the refrigerator or
icebox to remove bad odors. This is
u reprint of an old remedy for bad
conditions which housekeepers ought
to know better now than to heed.
With present knowledge of santa
ton, we understand that it is far bet
ter to remove the cause than to con-
ceal the effects and that absolute clean
liness is the only perfect condition for
household utensils or storage places.
Nothing is better than boiling hot wa
ter with some washing soda dissolved
In it.
Once week the refrigerator must
have its interior washed in the solu-
ton, and the removable shelves taken
out, washed and scalded; otherwise
cleanly appearing refrigerators often
have the waste pipe coated with slime
and the underside of the shelf for the
ice in similar condition.
The weekly cleansing does not make
1t allowable for drop of anything to
be left when spilled on the shelves. A
few drops of sour cream or meat juices
will make the whole unpleasant and
even dangerous

Unless dining room be finished In
Gothic style, with massive sideboards
to match, there ls no reason for buying
high backed dining room chairs. The
present way Of serving by having
things passed at the left while the
plate Is withdrawn from the right is
unhandy enough for both servant and
person at table without high backed
chair to provide additional chances for
trouble. People do not lean back at
formal dinners, and low backed chairs
that do not reach the shoulder are cor.
rect. In the simple home the prestige
Of larger chairs may be given TO the
father and mother at table, while II
there be- an invalid or aged person the
stay at table should be made as com.
Portable as is possible by the use OF
cushions and shoulder rests.

Study of the wild.

There is no more healthful and
instructive recreation for the intel
igent boy Tor man, either, for that
matter) than that which is easily
obtainable by studying the ways OF
the wild things that inhabit the
swamps, woods and forests in the
vicinity of the town in which he
lives. 1t is good for brain, nerves
eyes and muscles. 1t is good fol
the disposition, too, for the more
you know of any living creature;
Except beasts Of prey, rattlesnake'
and such) the less inclined to dc
them an injury. Ignorance is the
parent of cruelty. One need not
seek the great forests of the north
and west to study wild things and
their ways. The habits of many IN
teresting birds and smaller wild ami
mails may be studied at the expense
of a not very long walk by the
dwellers in most country towns all
over the United States and Canada.

BECOMING HAIR.

Don't part the hair in the middle If
you are round faced and chubby. This
only emphasizes the disk-like appear
ance.
Don't wear flowers Of any and every
color. If the hair Is like the ravens
wing, wear soft, pink flowers, roses or
geraniums.
Don't wear pink IL the hair is bur
nished gold, sheeny yellow or Titan
brown. Wear white roses, bride roses
or some moonlight flower"
Don't follow fashion blindly in re-
gard to coiffure ii you would have ar
tistlc proportions and bring out the
best expressions of the face.
Don't hesitate to shape an ugly fore
head to beauty with a fluff of soft
waves or curls, crowned by half
wreath for dress up occasions.
Don't wear your hair always in the
same style; a change of method is bene-
fetal to the hair, and to let it fall loose
ly about the shoulders is an excellent
plan ut times.

A GLIMPSE OF SPAIN.
Tho Manner of Wedding Dance In
tho Provinces.

Tho Manner of Wedding Dance In
tho Provinces.
The wedding dance was being
held in}a long, narrow building near
q fountain, and we entered on a
smoothi earth floor. Seats were ar
ranged about the sides of the white
washedI room, and the low rafters
were draped and festooned with fan
sy wallpaper with gold scrolls in it.
The mnsic was furnished by piano
organ at one end of the long room,
turned in rotation by a number Of
small boys in their clean blue
blouses and brown corduroy
breeches, who felt their Importance,
and at the other end of the room
a table was spread with cakes and
bread and wine concoction very
sweet and pleasant, but seductive.
The women, some bringing their
babies, were a pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although a few, with
their large dark eyes, came very
near, to it. They did not wear the
gay costumes of my Imagination,
but ttheir dresses showed great care
and conscientious patching. A gay
handkerchief was often folded
around the neck and across the
breast, and large earrings and big
breastpins were the vogue even
among the young women. The men
wore tbroad brimmed black felt hats
and clean blue blouses, corduroy
trousers, either light tan or brown,
and the long red or black sash belt
called "faja" wound many times
about the waist, the folds serving
as pockets for cigarettes, tobacco
pouch and the yillainous knife that
every one carries.
The dances were "round," inter
spersed with a square dance, where
four reople comprised a set-a sort
of faJdango, with lots of stamping
and attempts at 1.-THE, serpentine
motions, with the hands raised
above the head. There was a very
old man who danced with great
gusto and amused the crowd of
young people, who encouraged him
with clapping of hands. = Edward
PenAeld in Scribners.

Cleaning Knives.

After the knives have been washed
and wiped moisten little ordinary
knife powder with water. Then take
clean cork, dip it in the mixture and
rub each blade quickly up and down
on both sides several times. Every stain
will disappear, and the blades will be
brighter than If rubbed on the board
In the usual way, They will want
another rinse in water and a final pol
ish with cloth. IL the knives do not
seem quite sharp enough by this plan,
a weekly rub on the steel Will do all
that is required.

Joys OF THE siGhTLESS.
The Blind Take More Pleasure IL
Travel Than Many Suppose.


A blind man was making tour
of the New England coast oil his va
cation. In Maine, in the pretty vii
lage of Castine, lady said as she
waited with him at the pier:
"What pleasure is there in travel
for blind man."
"More pleasure than you think, I"
ne replied. Il enjoy this fine, in
vigoratiag wind from the sea as
we'll as you do. The noise of the
water is as pleasant to Inc as to you,
and the warmth of the sunshine is
as agreeable, and when we get
aboard the boat do you think !
shan't appreciate the swift sail sea-
ward?
"The blind are not so blind as the
world imagines. When / walk the
streets | know the shops l am pass
ing by their odors. Meat, perfumes,
tobacco, leather and flowers tell me
as well as eyes would that a butch
er's, tobacconist's, a shoemaker's
or a florists is near.
$50 it is in the country. A spicy
smell tells me | am in a grove OF
pines. The sweet breath of new
mown hay floats from the meadows,
and in fancy | see the haymakers.
The wild blackberries have their
pungent odor, and it is easy to know
the presence of the wild honey
suckle. The lowing cows, the neigh
of horse, the bleating of sheep
tell ME the occupants of the field
l pass, and the gurgle of water as
sures me that in that field is run
ming brook.
"Do you wonder how blind man
makes his way in a crowded street
| will tell you, He walks fearlessly
as long as he hears nothing, but
when the sound of approaching
footsteps reaches him he turns a
little to the right and passes by
without delay and without collision.
Farther on he meets children. Chill
dren are easy TO recognize by their
noisy prattle and their light, quick,
irregular steps. And the blind man,
knowing that it is difficult to count
with any degree of certainly upon
the actions of these little people,
goes very prudently, creeping along
at snaips pace until the children
are passed.
"He knows a street crossing by
the increased violence of the wind,
the louder noises and the gradual
descent of the pavement for some
forty or fifty feet. He knows when
he draws near wall or big station
ary object by the different sound
his steps have and by the different
feel to his flesh of the air, which is
much more compressed.
ga blind man gets along better
on dark night than at any other
time, for then all the world goes
cautiously and slowly, and there is
little danger of being run over or
run n."-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.

Tight oorsets.

The great naturalist, Cuvier, was
walking one day with young woman,
who was victim OF tight lac.ng. In a

her an expression OF admiration. Look
Ing at her pale. thin face, Cuvier said;
"You We're like this flower once. To-
morrow 1t will be as you are now"
The next day he led her to the same
spot, and the beautiful flower was

GLASS candlesticks are much in de-
mand. The pressed glass can bn had al
remarkably low prices, while the cut
glass is not prohibtive in price. Many
persons object to touching any brass
object and also dislike the labor OF
cleaning brass. Glass is more desira-
BILE on this account and looks very
pretty upon the dining table. either
with or without shades. 1t is growing
to be more and more glass age. Glass
shelves are used in cabinets and china
closets. and in up to date bathrooms
even the tub is of heavy glass.

WarERMARKS IN PAPER.
The Ancient Devices Used In the Time
OF CaXton and Faust.

or IaSton ana Faust.
Watermarks have proved them
selves invaluable for safeguarding
against the forgery of bank notes,
bills, stamps, etc, though the diff
Guilty experienced by the Bank of
England in evolving mark defying
imitation was very great and was ac-
eomplished by the execution of for
geries innumerable.
Many will has been set aside
owing to false dates in watermarks,
for, thanks to watermarks, we are
under no uncertainty respecting the
date of the existence of the paper
Ireland's celebrated Shakespearean
forgeries were, however, perpetrat-
ed with skillful recognition of the
watermsrk difficulty.
Driven to the production of man
uscripts, he set to work to purchase
old volumes for their fly leaves, and,
hearing that the jug" was the
prevalent watermark Of the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, he selected such
as had the "jug" on, being careful
to mingle with them a certain num-
ber of blank leaves, in order that
the production on a sudden of so
many identical watermarks might
not arouse suspicion.
Two of the earliest watermarks
consist of a circle slrmounted by a
cross, representing the pastoral ben
ediction of priest. Post paper
takes its name from the post horn,
which mark appears on shield, and
in the seventeenth century is sur
mounted by ducal coronet, in
which form it is still met with on
