Invitations for a Pie Party were
sent out on triangular pieces of card
board to six couples, all intimate
friends. When the guests arrived the
men were auctioned off by the host,
who was exceedingly clever. The
Doctor" was introduced on the BLOCK
in this manner: "a man often want
ed, though much addicted to the bot
tle." The bidding was fast and furious
until $4,000 beans brought the man to
his purchaser. The coal dealer was
described as "the man we think about
when the snow flies" When all had
secured partners the ladies were given
pieces Of pie made from two pieces of
paper pie plates (such as bakers use),
fastened together with ribbon. The
filling was a piece of paper bearing the
words Cherry" "Mince," Apple"
"Custard." Whatever pie was desg-
mated the man had to give a recipe
for it. while the lady made it in pan
tomme This was most amusing. For
refreshments all kinds of pie were
served with coffee and sandwiches

is busy with the thoughts of How
shall make myself fall asleep?" Take
the mind off the desired outcome ond
center it on directing bodily move
ments, inducing the bodily fatigue by
firing the muscles 1t sounds as if it
would take forever, but it doesn't Just
try it. The first time you feel as if you
would never be able to fall asleep
stretch yourself out while in bed, arms
above the head, muscles tense and
stretched to their utmost. Stiffen leg
and arm muscles and feel as much as
possible as you do when stretching in
the morning. Relax completely and try
again. Stretch the limbs in different
directions. For instance, put the arms
out in front. You will speedily find
yourself yawning comfortably and you
probably won't need to go through any
more exercises, being by now quite too
sleepy to do so, but the other move
ments are equally good. Lie on your
back and pull the knees up. Inhale
deeply while doing this. While the
! breath is retained stiffen and stretch
the muscles, making the body as tense
as possible. Now relax slowly and
thoroughly beginning with the muscles
of the neck, arms and back: eXhae at
the same time. 1t is usually the neck
that is so tense and rigid that very
nervous people feel as if they were
| holding their heads on by main force
These stretching exercises will speedily
teach one how to relax ones hold on
ones own tense muscles, which is the
very first thing to learn for those who
suffer from insomnia.

THE WOMAN OF FORTY.
This Age Has Seemed an Appalling
One, But the Middle of Things
the Best of All.

This title is more feared by women
than it deserves, says a writer in
London periodical devoted to feminine
interests. The middles of things are
really the best if they could only rea-
liZe it; beginnings and endings are full
of fear and dread. Still, when that
ominous number 40 is in sight, what
tremors it sends through the feminine
heart-40, and the best half of life
gone!
Small wonder that so many make q
stand at 50 and refuse to advance,
calling in science and art to aid in ere
storing the edifice." The sweet wrin-
kled old face, carrying its life's story,
is already as extinct as the Dodo.
Nature is a kindly mother and keeps
many compensations for her ugly
ducklings. Mind has a beauty all its
own.
The brainy woman must, however,
be clever enough to keep her brains
out of sight if she wishes to be So
cial success, and to remember at the
same time that postmeridian charms
will rot be enhanced by untidy habits
of dress. She will do well to study the
rise and fall of the sleeve as well as
that OF the Dutch republic. Never for
getting a dainty frill or furbelow or
any of the little courtesies of life;
these are the qualities that bring her
smilingly through every social ordeal.
do not wish to belittle the average
woman minus charm and that saving
grace, a sense of humor; she is the
backbone of society, a canal as com
pared to a rushing, sparkling river. 1t
is the depths and unsuspected shadows
that are so enthralling. The unknown
is always interesting. 1t is that very
quality of certainty about the average
woman that is so appalling.
The one quality most desirable in
woman in this restless twentieth cen
tury, and about the hardest to find, is
repose. 1t has been so drilled into US
in youth that idle hands find the in
evitaSle mischief that few of us know
how to be idle without serious qualms
of conscience.

ANY RAILROAD AGENT
GAINING ON THE FAIR SEX
According to This Report Men Will
Soon Outnumber the
Women.

Frau Gnauck-kuchne is one of the
greatest German authorities on the mod
crn feminist movement, and after mature
study and the collection of statistics she
has come to the conclusion that the
superiority of women in so many European
countries is fact which il the first place
is in no sense an evil, ard IN the second
place is rapidly dIsappe ring.
In another twenty years. she believes,
the tide will begin to ,un the other way
and the men will be in the majority even
IN such countries as England and Ger
many, where at the present time women
immensely predomlnate. Some OF her
statistics are most interesting. In Lux
embourg, for example, IN 1890 there We're
LOOP women for every 1000 men. There
are now only 999. In Australia the pro-
portion has been reduced in the same time
from i .0i4 to 1895, in Hungary from LOIS
TO ,OO9, in Switzerland from 051 TO l.035,
in Sweden from ] .O6j to l,049, in Germany
from : :.OiO to 1892, in England from l,t5j
to l.047. She does not believe that any
European nation except Russia will long
continue to increase RAPIDLY in proportion.
England has begun to follow the example
of France and Germany will certainly fol
low England's footsteps.
In all "advanced' European states the
birth rate is either becoming stationary,
or begins to show backward tendency.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Mirac-
ulous Cure by Cuticura.

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extended
so quickly over the whole body that we at
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor, but he could not help
him, and in our despair we went to a
third one. Matters became so bad that
he had regular holes in his checks, large
enough to put finger into. The food
had to be given with a s, oon, for his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest,
and back, in short the whole body, was
covered over aud over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed, we had to pm his hands down;
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. | think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could help,
and | had made up my mind to send my
wife with the child to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might cure him, otherwise he
was to be put under good medical care
there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came
differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend OF ours spoke about Cuticura. we
made trial with Cutcura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Resolvent, and within ten days
or two weeks we noticed a decided i'm
pTovement. just as quickly as the sick
ness had appeared it .lso began to dis
appear, and within ten weeks the child
was absolutely well, and his skin was
smooth and white as never before. F..

TO INDUCE RESTFUL SLEEP.
Upon in the Light of Benefi-
cial Distractions.

When Belinda comes home feeling
too tired to sleep" there is no use in
her trying to go to bed at once. Let
her take a warm bath, letting the cold
water run in until the water becomes
cool, then let her slowly go through the
many different points of the toilet,
manicuring and hair brushing for in
stance, so often done in a rush. These
help relax and quiet the nerves and
can take up an hours time. Last of
all a cup of warm milk with a pinch of
salt. Many people, this applies particu-
larly to men, suffer from sleeplessness
because they are not properly nour-
ished. Exhausted or irritated and ex-
cited nerves need nourishing. A bite
of light and easily digested food will
not keep one awake-on the contrary,
it is often just what is needed to in
duce sleep.
Sleep will not come to the brain that
is worrying or even to the brain that
