MEANING OF AdoLEs.

On the right side of the upper lip
mole promises great good fortune to
both sexes.
a mole on the neck, in man or wom~
an, promises a long and happy life,
wealth and fame.
A science, or pseudo-science, OF
moles has existed among the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch for many years.
A man with mole in the middle Of
his forehead has cruel mind wom-
an with such mole is foolish, idle and
envious.
A man with a mole on the left side
of the upper lip rarely marries. and
such a mole in the case of woman
denotes suffering.
A mole on the right side OF mans
forehead denotes wonderful luck: en-
the right side of woman's forehead,
gifts from the dead.
On the left side of mans forehead
a mole denotes a long term in prison:
on the left side of woman's forehead,
two husbands, and a life OF exile.
According to this science. no one Is
without q mole or two, and these ars

It Must Be as Religiously Brushed as
Ones Clothes-How to Fresh


A good hat should be well cared for,
to keep it looking fresh. Not only
must the hat itself be brushed care
fully, but the trimming must be gone
over; bows pulled up into shape, loose
petals glued into flowers, and loose
threads tightened. Flowers and
leaves should be carefully wiped with
q soft cloth: when colored flowers
fade they can often be touched up
with water-eoIor paints and eamel's
hair brush. Most hats now have trim
ming arranged under the brim, and
they should always be raised up on
q block or stand when put away, to
avoid crushing. It is especially neees-
sary to observe this care with hat
having maline ruehe under the brim
at the back. says the Rural New
Yorker. This material is quite per-
ishable, and is likely to become very
"mussy' after short period OF wear,
unless handled carefully. we clean

The Drains.

The dog days are days to watch the
drains. 1t behooves the brave wife to
lend them her personal supervision in
kitchen and bathroom. In the former
apartment scalding water and washing
soda must be poured down the sink
drain each day. This effectually will
wash away all greasy deposits and pre-.
vent odors. Even greater care should
be exercised in the bathroom. To de-
stroy injurious germs all the pipes
should be thoroughly flushed each
morning with boiling hot water. At
night there may be sprinkled into each
pipe a large spoonful of chloride of
lime, can OF which may be kept In
the bathroom for the purpose on a
shelf far above the reach of the chill
dren. The attention given night and
morning to drains takes little time.
and not only lends freshness and
sweetness to the household atmos-
phere but may thereby prevent seri-

New Element in Commerce.

Ranaie, species of gigantic nettle
which produces. directly beneath It's
outer bark, fiber that can be woven
alone or in conjunction with either
wool or cotton, and gives to the cloth
into which it is woven beautiful
silky finish, is being produced in
China at the present time to an extent
that promises to make it an impor
tant element in the worlds commerce.
Unlike cotton, it is not an annual
crop; once planted it will produce
for a dozen years. 10 does not ripen
evenly, and as soon as one crop is
pulled the plant goes on producing
again; occasionally, in tropical coun-
tries-and it is only in very warm
climate that It can be grown-one
plant will give four crops in year.
A good stand of plants will run from
two to three tons of fiber per acre.
