LADY-LIKE APPEARANCE.

The plain girl must not be ill-tem-
pered If she has plain features she
need not have an ugly disposition.
She must be so sunny in her express
sion that she makes those who look
at her forget how plain she is.
The unattractive girl can always
have attractive hands. She can take
great care of her nails. and can pol
ish them until they are as pink as
rose leaves. and AS GLOSSY as marble.
She can put soothing and beautifying
creams upon them to make them
white. and massage them until they
are plump.
The plain girl can learn to walk
we'll. There is no reason why she
should not hold her shoulders erect
and walk gracefully. She can also
have a good figure. and she can dress
well. The ugly girl can speak pref
thy, and in this way add charm to
her personality. She can be grace
full. too. The fact that Nature did
aot give her a naturally pretty face
,eed not keep her from being grace
full.
The ugly girl should have virtues
of heart. says Woman's Life. She
should cultivate kind heart. A good
heart shines through the eyes. You
can tell it the minute you look at a
person, and how one loves a person
with a kind heart instinctively and
with a gush Of tender gratitude.

QUEER SALAD DRESSING.

An uptown hostess 'wio is famous
for her salads recently invited some
people to dinner. On the day Of the
event she provided herself with a
large apron and descended into the
kitchen to prepare the dressing for
the salad. Putting in mustard. salt.
oil, Hungarian pepper and other neces-
sary ingredients. she placed the dress
ing in large bowl to remain there
until needed. The guests came and
everything went off beautifully until
the salad course was reached. For
some reason or other the salad was
partaken Of very sparingly and the
hostess noticed that the dressing had
a queer, but familiar taste. Selling
the first opportunity, she slipped into
the kitchen to find out the trouble.
To her amazemcnt she found that the
bowl containing the dressing had dis
appeared. Upon closer Investigation
she discovered another bowl. the ex-
act duplicate of the one containing
the dressing, and in it was mixture
Of mustard, pepper, molasses, etc.,
which was about the same color as
the salad dressing. The mystery was
solved. Her mother who was visit
ing her. had remarked that the baby
ought to have something for that cold
of his" and had made him some old
fashioned cough mixture. The guests
ate the cough mixture. while the baby
took the salad dressing for his cold.

DRAINING SWAMP LANDS.
The Process Is Going on All Over
the Country.

At an expense of about 500 an acre,
Dan V. Stephens, of Fremont, Neb., is
said to have converted 420 acres of
practically worthless Platte Valley
swamp into valuable farm land, worth,
perhaps, 500 an acre. While the food
producing capacity of the country and
it's home manufacture consuming ca
pacity are being enlarged by irriga-
ton, the gaining of the same end by
the CONVEX process of drainage is
not being neglected. The Dismal
Swamp of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, 1000 square miles in extent, has
long been shrinking as part after part
has been drained and turned into the
most fertile of farm land. Eventually,
the entire area will be producing
crops. Minnesota has recently drain
ed swamp lands belonging to the
state, and the value of the land at
once rose rapidly. The state of Florida
is largely swamp which will one day
be turned into garden spot. Drain
age operations are becoming common
along the Missouri in Nebraska

DRY FALLS OF LODORE.
The Disappointment of the American
Tourist Was Great.

Southey's description of Lodore has
given to that charming friend of holi-

unfortunate. 1t has brought to its
course worshippers from afar, when
there has not been cupful of water
to perform as much as the meanest
of feats which the poet describes. One
such visitor was an American. He had
seen Niagara again and again. He
read Southey on the wonders of Lo-
dore, and once more visited the vast
cataract of his native land. Then,
feeling that, after all, Niagara must
be very small potatoes compared with
the falls of which the poet had sung,
resolved to consecrate his holiday to
the contemplation of its beauties and
grandeur. Het set out the moment he
reached Keswick, and long walked
and toiled over rocks and boulders. He
could not find the falls. He rested,
and asked: Can you direct me to the

suggested by its grotesque, maskilke
corolla. But there is something still
more grotesque if we will wait till
the seed time and gather the dried
brown skeleton of the seed pod. Look
at them sideways, under a bright
lamplight if possible, and you will
find they have quite a resemblance
to rhinoceros. Remove the calyx
and the little horns on the nose, and
look at them from the front, and they
have still more striking resemblance
to human skulls, and by turning them
about you get all sorts of queer ex-

ROMANCE OF GREAT SINGER.
From the Railway Platform to the
Opera House.

M. Jean Note, the famous barytone
of the Paris opera house, and who has
sung more often on the stage of the
Paris opera than any other living
singer, left Paris the other day to be
present at the fetes which were held
recently, in his native town of Tour
nay, in Belgium, in honor of the great
artists jubilee.
M. Jean Notes career has been
singulaly romantic one. He was born
at Tourney, and began life there as
a weaver in a cloth factory. He was
noted for his fine voice among his fel
low workmen. He left the factory to
become a railway porter at the Tour
nay station, and soon became signal
man.
At the age of Fl he became a con-
script in the Belgian army, and it was
while undergoing his military service
that his officers took an interest in
him, and subscribed purse to send
him to the Conservative of Music at
Client
Here he worked hard, and succeed
ed in obtaining the first prize for
singing He made his debut "Lucie
de Lammermoor," at the Lills thea
ter in 1885. He was then engaged for
two years at the Antwerp theater and
for three years at Lyons, after which.
he went straight 10 the Paris opera,
which he ha, never left since.
While al opera singer in Paris NJ
Note r.-eatly distinguished himself by
an act of daring and cool-headedness
which saved an express train from
total wreck. On September q, 1897,
M. Note was standing on the platform
of the Paris suburban station of
Colonies, when it was seen to the
horror of the numerous passengers
waiting in the station that a train of
Is vans loaded with dynamite had
shunted out on the main line on which
| the Cherbourg Express was due at
shat moment.
The stationmaster and porters lost
their heads. Note, recoliecting that
he had been a signalman, lost not
moment. He ran to the levers, pulled
them back, and sent the dynamite
wagons on to siding just as the ex-
press came hustling past. For this,
NJ. Note received high distinction
from the French goyernment.-Lon-
