Watermelon Makes Face Fair.

Beauty doctors are telling remark
able things about the results of rub
bling the face, neck and arms with
watermelon rind after exposure to the
sun or wind. AS economical girls
don't care to waste the fruit, there is
an increase in the eating Of melons.
A maid may keep her complexion in
good shape and at the same time
give pleasure to her callers. Another
expert says nothing is so good for
sun blisters as to apply a slice OF
ripe tomato. The Juice must be
rubbed in thoroughly and the veget-
able must be bound In place. This
use Of the daily supply of vegetables
for lotions instead of food may cause
rebellion among the men of the fam
lily, but they should be paciied when
they see the fair skins Of the femi-
nine contingent. Another complexion
doctor advises the use of fruit juices
as a morning drink instead of salts
or hot water.

KNEW PRoWEss OF AMERICANS.
Courier Wasted No Fish Stories on
the Masters of the Craft.

A well-known New Yorker, a bit OF
a globe-trotter, tells of a courier he
once encountered in Switzerland
while a member of party Of Ameri-
cans and Englishmen.
On the way over the st. Gothard
Pass for some distance the train
moved along opposite a tremendously
high precipice, over which a tiny
stream flowed, almost losing itself in
mist before reaching its course be-
low The courier, an extremely intel
ligent and clever chap, was entertain
ing the party with a recital OF that
streams peculiarities. Later one OF
the party, an Englishman, told the
others a story concerning a certain
species of fish in the stream to the
effect that, when it came to the edge
of the precipice, it would curl itself
up, put its tail in its mouth, and roll
down, for all the world like hoop.
See here, Auguste." said the New
Yorker who tells the story, why
didn't you yourself tell us about that
fish,"
With a shrug Auguste replied: u
myself have heard the story and have
told it. But / never tell it to Ameri-
cans-they can tell pretty good lies
themselves"

CATS GO BACK TO WILD LIFE.
Forsake Environs Of Civilization ant
Live In Woods.

An interesting study, of animal ma
ture Is found by possum and COOL
hunters Of this city in the 1000 OF
more acres of dense timber of the
Marmaton river bottoms, west Of
town. 1t is found that many once
tame house cats are now inhabitine
the timbers, as wild and more Zero
-cious fighters when freed than any
other species of animals which hunt
ers are apt to encounter in these
woods.
Nearly every hunting party spend
ing a night in these woods comes up
with cat that has gone back to the
wild" The supposition is that these
cats have been tempted to the woods
by the field and wood mice and other
prey upon which cats like to feed and
that they gradually become accustom'
ed to wild life and make their home
there. Frequently party of hunt.
ers has chased a cat half a night to
have an exciting fight when the dogs
finally cornered it.
, The cats thus returned to the ma.

the hunters to grow considerably
larger than their civilized brothers
and sisters and to be able to engage a
whole pack of dogs single-handed.-

TELEPHONES IN THE COUNTRY
instruments Have Done Much to Re-
lleVe Tedlum of Farm Life.


The farmers wife has new re-
source. Her lot has been improved
in many ways in the last ten years.
The separator" and the creamery
have relieved her of the severest toll
of the dairy. The rural free delivery
brings magazines and newspapers to
her door, Lately the telephone has
put her within distance of her neigh
bors. The nearest farm house may
be half mile away, and the village
three miles. The lines of poles and
the wires, perhaps merely the wire
fence, have suddenly drawn her into
an intimate relation to both, unknown
to her before. To one who has never
experienced the solitude of the farm
1t is hard to realize the joy OF the
wife and mother at being able to con;
suit a friend about the cut OF the
baby's coat, the recipe for mince pies
or. the dose of cough sirup.
The demand for the telephone In
the country is imperative. EVERY
body's got one." said the village
storekeeper to q city visitor. why,
there's three families that's being
helped by the town, and every one OF
'em has got a telephone. Old Mis-
Bearce says she'd rather go without
her victuals than have the telephone
taken Quit" What testimony to the
desire for human companionship!
The gossiping instinct, some cynic
will say. But, after al, what Is that
but the wish to compare notes on
the perennially interesting study Of
human nature-a study as fascinating
to the unknown country woman as to
the famous Observation-Disclosures

Rules and Executions.

To say that the exception proves
the rule" is to talk nonsense, If the
word exception" is understood in its
usual modern meaning. Even one
exception does not enforce belief in
rule but detracts from 1t, however
slight its effect. But 1t is quite true
that exceptions prove rules, in the
sense of putting them to the test or
proof. II the rule is well grounded it
is left all the more worthy of accept
alton because it has been subjected to
the investigation brought about by
exceptions which challenge its valid
lty.

PROPER MANAGEMENT OF DOGS.
Some Things Lovers of the Animal
Should Bear in Mind.

In managing your dogs there VIII
not perhaps be much fun unless you
can follow your individual notions on
what constitutes enjoyment. There is
not perhaps a single thrill in twisting
your soul to carry out processes which
rasp against the grain. However, am
not your parish priest, but dog man.
says Joseph A. Graham, in the Out
ing Magazine. Whatever your mag.
nation may invent, a dog is still
dog, and has none of the attributes
which we assign to ourselves when we
feel mushy. A dog understands yes"
and is equally competent. to grasp
no" Outside of that, he is all dog
and follows his dog ways. He INDUCES
in no mental refinement and will not
comprehend many of your changes Of
take to teach, make it plain, simple
and Interchangeable. 1t is pity that he
must be taught not to jump up on peo-
pie and compliment them with his ca
resses. He means well, but must be
disciplined sternly into knowing that
it is not in good form under any cir
cumstances. The discipline need not
be accompanied by any severity. A
light touch with a whip, if applied in
variably, will soon settle the matter.
Some kennel men adopt the plan Of
stepping lightly on the hind foot, and
it is perhaps the clearest way of con-
veying the idea.

Mistakes in Measuring Ace.

Age is not a question of years but
of experience and of the effect there
of on the body, brain or heart. A man
may be "old" at 80 or young at 20.
The fact of measuring age in years
leads to dismal consequences. One
who counts his years becomes the
victim of a dreadful autosuggestion.
He thinks that he should begin to de-
cline at 70, and not from any in
herent reason. So he proceeds to de-
cline. His vigor is Slapped by a date.
Perhaps it would be we'll to abolish
all records of births and never allow
anyone to know his own age in years.

that everybody, women and all leaped

TRADE BooMs IN PALESTINE.
Commerce of the Country Is Showing
a Steady improvement.

If Palestine is not precisely land
flowing with milk and honey in mod
ern times, it is still not doing badly,
according to the consular report OF
DR.. Dickson, just issued. 1t is par
ticularly fertile in oranges, which 1t
exported to the value of G114,650 last
year, chiefly to Scotland, the trade,
we are told, being steadily increasing
Wines and spirits, too, are becoming
important, the Jewish colonies dis
playing considerable activity in the
cultivation of the grape, which was
very abundant last year. Water
melons are also plentiful.
The total value of the imports and
exports Of Palestine last year was
e821,820. Consular reports are some
times curious in the way they lump
trade together We find Consul Dick
son saying: GAS regards other ar
ticles of export, there was an increase
In religious ornaments and hides" 1t
may be noted that it is the Ameri-
cans who are after the religious or
naments of Palestine. People who
desire to send their friends to Jericho
will be interested to hear that a new
carriage road will be completed down
to the Dead sea and Jericho in the
course of a year. Then, If anybody
wants to send a telegram to Beer
sheba the thing can be done on the
customary terms. Beersheba in these
days only consists of so dwellings,
but 1t is rising in Importance"

VISITORS JUDGMENT WAS RAr
And His Comment by no Means
Complimentary to Judges.

A youthful individual from a rural
district, whose bucolic occupation and
manner of life found visible refiec-
ton In his appearance and bearing,
was a visitor the other day at the city
hall, runs a story in the Washington
Star. In the midday intermlssion Of
one of the courts in which he was
attending a trial this ruddy-visaged,
horny-handed, unsophistlcated son Of
the soil started over the building on
a tour Of investigation.
On his round he CHANGED to pass
a room on the second floor in which
some workmen were renovating sew
eral life-size portraits Of eminent
jurists who have graced the district
bench at one time or another in the
history of the local court. The grave
and sedate faces of these pictures
have looked down daily from their
places on the wall to meet the gaze
of reverent admiration from persons
attending the court. At once the
striking character of them impressed
the youthful swain. Accosting a
passing gentleman, who proved to be
one of the justices of the district SUI
preme court, the visitor asked:
Say, mister are these pictures Of
crlminals?"
NO" quietly replied the Judge,
they are portraits of judges who
once presided here"
rs that so?" murmured the gen.
tleman from the rural district, sur
prlsed but unabashed, Il thought they

Diamond Mine in United States.

Somewhere in the United States
there is diamond mine. The United
States geological survey is convinced
of this. But where? Nobody knows.
Diamonds have been discovered In the
United States in four different and
separate regions, but all were in loose
and superficial deposits which gave
no intimation Of whence they had
come. In 1903 $50 worth of native
diamonds were discovered. In 1900
the output was 800; the year before
$3.50. But this past year no native
diamond was found.
Meantime the United States is i'm
porting diamonds to the amount Of
millions of dollars year.

pepth Of the Ocean.

The deepest spots in the oceans
are not far from equal to the height
of the Hottest mountains, counting
both from the sea level. 1t is prob
able that the extreme depth of the
sea may slightly exceed the elevation
of Mt. Everest. On the map the sea
makes the land look small by con.
trast, because it covers about three
fourths Of the surface Of the earth. In
bulk, however. the oceans are no
more than such indentations as the
tiny hollows in the skin of an orange
are by comparison with the fruit as
whole.
