Origin of the Toothbrush.

Colonial diaries and letters make it
plain that our unfortunate ancestors
suffered much from jumping tooth
aches, swelled faces and the early
loss by forcible extraction of teeth
which at later period might have
been saved to render their owners
many years of further service. No
wonder, since the care of the teeth
was little understood and that little
often but negligently practiced.
Toothpicks were known, tooth
brushes were not, although rough
substitutes were employed, made of
fattened sticks, split and pounded at
one end to a stiff fibrous fringe.
Tooth-brushes when first introduced
we're regarded as by no means i'm
portant accessories to the toilet, but
rather as minor luxuries and suitable

And smile on your face-when girl is

When girl is around-some nice girl that
you know,
And the boys will stand back there and
give you a SHOW,
You can walk on your hands just as far as
you please
And never get tired-if you're sure that
she sees;
No matter what happens, you're not bit

You'd lead d all the boys into war if they
And you show all the lads that your lungs

And your legs and your arms-when girl

When girl is around-Oh, the heroes we

Who can leap twice as high, who can
jump twice as far,
Who can cut up such antics as never be-

Who can conquer all worlds and then look
out for more;
From sloughs of dead level as giants we

To prove all our might and our proves

And we reach dizzy heights at leap and

New in the Way Of Leashes.

Extremely doggy women in New
York's fashionable set have taken
up with something new in the way
of leashes. A little gold clasp fast
ened to the bottom of the skirt at
one side is snapped into the ring
of the dog collar. Two women with
dogs attached were in one of the up
town department stores the other
day. Apparently the dogs had been
broken to the skirt leash, for they
trotted along at the side without
once getting under the feet Of the
owner and without getting tangled
In the crowd. One of the women had
her dog fastened to the bottom of
a long coat, and this seemed to be
better than the skirt clasp. although
she had to keep the coat buttoned.
A good many persons who saw the
women wondered what would hap
pen if two of the skirt-leached dogs
took notion to mix It up.

Colonies For the Unemployed.

hosiery. Indeed, several of her finer
pairs, it was said, cost $500.
But it must be remembered that
the hose which the multi-millionaire
IN petticoats wore on State occasions
In the past winter could be described
as of Jewels and lace. The entire
front was made of the finest lace,
covered with pearls, rubies or emer-
aids and diamonds, as the costume
required.
These stockings are sent by reg

out of the lace. The lace is sent to

and it neither shrinks nor stretches
to any appreciable extent. Moisture
has practically no effect upon it, and
it has extraordinary wearing proper

To Make O Suit Case.

To Make Suit Case.
The girl whose vacation journeys
are few and far between, and who
for that, as well as other reasons,
cannot afford to purchase a suit case,
may make one for herself if she will.
The case l wish to tell you of is
very appropriate for the summer va
cation fittings, and costs little or
nothing, as the foundation is nothing
more expensive that the pasteboard
boxes such as the tailored suits are
sent home in from the shops, and the
covering is the cool-looking straw
mating. This may be either the tea
chest mating, which your grocer
will give you for the asking, or 1t
may be one of the heavier Japanese
mattings, costing twenty-five cents a
yard, or less.
To make the case strong and dur
able as we'll as neat in appearance
two boxes are necessary. Carefully
take them apart, which will give you
twenty pieces of cardb6ard-that is,
four sides, four ends and four top
portions to each box, or five pieces
to each section of the boxes. Take
ten of these sections (the various
parts of one complete box) and lay
them on the mating for a pattern,
cutting it the same size. Now take
bias strips of brown linen and bind
each piece neatly; the sewing ma
chine will do the work If strong
needle and a loose stitch are en-
ployed. The other ten pieces, which
should be about an eighth of an
inch smaller all around, are covered
with brown linen in the same man
ner, though in this case the binding
may be omitted, the linen being
Tapped over half an inch on the
wrong side and stitched.
Now overland the corresponding
pieces together, a matting-covered
piece with linen-covered one, with
the pasteboard sides turned inside.
When the sections of the two boxes
are thus Joined, giving you two sides.
two ends and one top portion for
each of the two parts of complete

inal form, using strong thread and
close stitches, in the old-fashioned
