TAitiess Coats

Boys may he rough with each 9th
er and apparently thoughtless and
hard hearted, but they stand up for
one another when they are really in
trouble. An amusing instance that
illustrates this happened while DR..
Vaughan was head master of llar-
row school, in England. One night
as he was returning home quite late
lie happened to see on the street one
of his pupils, who was out contrary
10 the rules of the school. As soon
as the boy caught sight Of the doc
tor he took to his heels, with the
head master in hot pursuit. The boy
WAS finally captured. but alter Il
struggle he escaped, leaving one of
his coattails in the doctors hands.
OF course the doctor thought he
would have no trouble in identifying
the culprit by his coat the next
morning. Imagine his surprise,
therefore. when he entered the
schoolroom to find that every boy
in the sixth form had only one tail
10 his coat. The culprit escaped
unpunished

An old gentleman too impatient
for his hot water and light to be
brought rushed into the kitchen,
seized hold of the first pan ON the
stove and dashed away with it to hls
dark room. On plunging his hands
into the wash hand basin he was
amazed to find that it contained
something thicker and stickier than
water-that he had, in fact, spoiled
the first course of his dinner by try

Boiling over with passion, he be-

Tall growing plants are not suit
able for beds near the paths, espe-
cially when those beds are close to
the house. The tall growers should
be given a place somewhat in the
background, where they can be seen
at a little distance and will not OBJ
struct the view. Low growing plants
close to the path or under the win
dows can be looked down upon with
most satisfactory results. For such
beds there are few flowers superior
to the ycrbcna, and by pegging the
branches down during the earlier
stage Of the plants growth the en-
tire surface of the ground can soon
be covered. The scarlet varieties
are as brilliant as the geranium. If
the seed pods are cut off as soon AZ
feen, this plant will continue to
bloom during the entire season.

Simple Remedies For the Eradication
of Pimplss.

VI FH'Piss'
For those hateful little excres-
rences that appear on the face at IN
tervais the simplest remedies are
,urest. The next time you are trou
lied in this way make very strong
solution of alum water, bottle and
rpply persistentN. You will find
that almost at once the little sore
places begin drying up and shortly
disappear under its magic influence.
SO much for the outside, but You
know the inside must be treated, too,
or new crop will appear more rap
idly than you can charm them away
even with alum water. For a cleans
ing agent nothing has been found
better than the sulphur and molas-
ses of our grandmother's day, and
when with modern wisdom you add
TO this an absorbing agent like char
coal you may feel assured that You
are on the right track. Buy the
finely powdered variety sold at drug
stores and mix it with the sulphur
in the proportion Of two parts sui
phur to one of charcoal. Combine
with molasses and take one tea
spoonful each day for three days in
succession, then rest day or so and
resume. The pimples will not trou-
Die YOU long under this treatment.-

mayor was a little late, and on his
arrival the stentorian tones of the

eral vain efforts to draw out a high
er bid. finally exclaimed

Almost all vegetables are better
for being blanched, especially brus-

cauliAower. The moment they are
done pour off the boiling water. COW
or them with very cold water and
let them remain in it for moment
or two. Then pour off the water,
cover them with a cream sauce and
reheat them. Sometimes, if the veg
etable is of particularly rank fla
