Another Devil" Legend.

Why is the printers errand boy
called the printers devil?" A
writer at the end of the seventeenth
century explained it thus: These
boys in printing house commonly
black and dawb themselves; whence
the workmen do loosely call them
devils; and sometimes spirits, and
sometimes flies" 1t is related, how
ever, that Aldo Manuzio, the great
Venetian printer of the fifteenth CEN
fury, had a black slave boy, who was
popularity supposed to have come
from below. Accordingly he pub
lished notice: Il, Aldo Manuzio,
printer to the Doge. have this day
made public exposure of the printer S

and blood may come and pinch him .

The Kings Welsh.

The King, who was Prince CT
Wales for a longer period than any
of his predecessors, is said to speak
few words of Welsh. There is a
story told of Chicago girl, the
daughter of millionaire, who, in the
days before his Majesty had assembled
the throne, had determined to visit
England. A friend found her study
ing Welsh, and in reply to a question
the girl said: I'm going to be pre-
scented to the Prince of Wales when
I'm in London, and | should like to
be able to speak to him in his real
native language. st James Ga

Such a loose, smart yet comfort
able coat as this one makes a very
necessary feature of any girls ward
robe. 1t can be made from smooth
faced cloth or from rough, from plain
color or from mixture for the cool
weather and again from linen, pique
and the like for the remaining warm
season, so that the model fills great
many needs. 1t is one of the newest
and best liked, and will be favorite
for the coming season. The darts at
the shoulders are novel and becom-
ing, and the garment is altogether
noted for it's air of simple elegance.

with belding silk and closed with
handsome dark pearl buttons.
The coat is made with fronts,

Breath Drawings.

Some curious experiments may be
made with the breath. On a pane
of glass, or a mirror that has not
been polished just beforehand, trace
a figure, or a letter, or a name, with
your finger; nothing will be visible.
But breathe on the glass, and the
tracing will at once appear.
Now, on freshly polished plate
of metal or glass, place coin. After
a few moments remove the coin, and
nothing will be seen on the surface,
but breathe on it where the coin was
lying, and an image of it will appear,
If you polish the coin instead of the
metal or glass, the same effect will be
produced when you breathe on the
surface.
If you have a plate of glass that

Coarse Linens Good.

Very coarse linens trimmed with
fine embroidery or fine Valenciennes
are especially good to look at and
possess, while fancy seems to have
arisen for the soft-finished unglazed
linens-the linens with a surface
the direct antithesis of that general
ly turned out by the modern laun-
dress. Such soft lines are undoubt-
eddy ideal for taking" home en-
broidery, and the girl with nimble
fingers and tiny allowance will do
best to centre her attention on these.

Consolation For The Artist.
The late Lord Leighton, president
of the Royal Academy, once had a
chance to learn something about him
self that perhaps he had not suspect
ed His chance came to him at a
picture gallery, where his painting,
Helen of Troy" was on exhibition.
He joined a group of ladies who
were standing before it just in time
to hear one of the number say:
tits horrid simply hor-
rid"
I'm sorry, but it's mine!" Lord
Leighton exclaimed, involuntarily.
"You don't mean to say you've
bought the thing" questioned the
same lady.
mo; II painted it, the artist
humbly replied.
The critical lady was momentarily
abashed; then she said easily:
ooh, you mustn't mind what I
say"

began earnestly. "She's only said

has been against an engraving for
several years, breathe on that side
of it, and the lines of the engraving
will become visible. This may fail
sometimes, but rarely.
Does all this sound like magic?
The explanation is a natural one. On
the surface of all solids a layer of
gas, vapor and fine dust gathers.
When you polish the object, the layer
is removed, or it is altered by the
contact of other solids. If the OBJ
ject is breathed upon, the breath
condenses more easily on some parts
than it does on others, according to
the condition or state of this layer,
and therefore any marks made on it
will become visible-New York Mall.

The Smiles The Thing.

The girl who would be beautiful
this winter must smile. Not that
smiles have ever really gone out OF
fashion; It Is simply that they are
unusually affected lately.
The smile of the winter is OF an
especial Sort 1t is slight smile,
which merely parts the lips and shows
two rows of even white teeth. me
girl who has not such teeth had
better forget to smile.
She who possesses dimples must
make the smile deep enough to bring
those to the surface.
Watch the expressions of women
who walk along the streets alone,
and it will be found that many times
they are disagreeable or, at best dis
turbed. There is a slight frown on
the brow, Fuckers about the eyes and
droop to the lips. 1t is the express
sion of person who has cares.
These cares may be merely that
the fitting at the tailor's was not
satisfactory, or that the cook has
threatened to leave; but, at all events
they are sufficient to spoil beauty.
The unmatched expression is likely
to degenerate into scowl, and SO
to ruin an attractive face.
This winter the expression will
not be unmatched. 1t is to be the
mode to smile-to smile like gay
child, with parted lips and dancing
eyes. There may be some who will
not be able to achieve this, but much
practise before mirror will make
one perfect enough to venture be-
fore the public.
Probably it will all end by the
feminine mouth becoming a jolly
mouth, turned up at the corners and
tremulous with good will and happi-
ness-in which case Dame Fashion
will for once deserve a word of praise.

Carbonic Acid Springs.

In the Auvergne region of France
large amount of carbonic acid gas
comes from the soil and is one of
tho last traces of the former vol
canic activity of this region. The
springs that yield the gas are found
generally in the assures of the
ground which allow the water to
rise. One of the Montpensier springs
has been known as the poisoned
spring" Animals which descend into
the cavity to drink are soon asphyx-
lated by the gas which is given off
by the water.

RUNNING SORES ON LIN BIS.
Little Girls Obstinate Case of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies
a Household Standby"


Last year, after having my little girl
treated by very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema, resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was, so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the physl-
clans prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cutieura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with running sores. In
about six weeks we had her completely
well, and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble. We find that the Cutleura
Remedies are a valuable household stand
by. living as we do twelve miles from
doctor, and where it costs from twenty to
twenty-five dollars to come up on the
mountain. Mrs Lizzie Vincent Thomas,
