Rooster Saves chiId,s Lie.
Chicago Tribune }


Last summer we had a large Leg
horn rooster which we called Chang.
Chang was vicious old bird and de-
cidedly unfriendly toward most peo-
pie, with the exception Of our little
3-year-old son, Billy. Between the two
"a great friendship existed, Chang fol-
lowing Billy around the yard, eating
from his hand and even playing with
him in rooster fashion. One morning
a terrified scream from my wife
brought me hurriedly from out of the
house to witness a sight which froze
me with horror.
Sitting on the ground happily play
ing, and all unconscious of his peril,
was little Billy, while behind him not
three feet away, with loathsome folds
coiled and ready to strike, lay vicious
rattlesnake. Agonized and desperate,
as a last hope I was about to make a
dash at the reptile, when we heard a
terrific squawk, and old Chang, every
feather on end, his eyes red with fury
swooped across the yard and bounced
upon the rattler with beak and claws.
To snatch our boy out of danger and
then kill the snake was the work Of a
moment, but poor faithful old Chang
received the deadly stroke aimed at his
little playmate and paid the penalty for
his bravery with his life.

How Queens "Make Up"

Like the humblest of their feminine
subjects, even royalty possesses a
weakness for the toilet table the mys-
teries of which have. from time i'm
memorial, provided huge fortunes for
the tradesmen who supply its peculiar
and generally expensive needs.
The ruler Of Holland until the recent
Spanish marriage the youngest Euro
pean queen, believes profoundly in the
morning tub, into whose waters pint
of the finest essence of cologne finds
its way. Before eniptying the scent
into her tub Wilhelmina tests the pur-
ity of the fluid herself over the lamp
upon which her morning chocolate has
been prepared.
Wilhelmina possesses one of the love-
lest and most delicate compilations in
Europe, a fact she attributes to the
Spartan diet and open-air life of ner
girlhood. The only scent to be found
upon her dressing table is rosewater,
and this with glycerine, is the only
adjunct to- her toilet which the youth
full ruler permits herself. Yet, despite
her protestations to intimates, court
gossips insist that no complexion in
the world could be so perfect without
the assistance of a whole battery Of
Partisan beautifiers.

lever in simplicity of makeup" Eau
de cologne is her favorite perfume. To
such length does Spain's queen carry
her detestation of aids that a royal
cousin by marriage, inspecting Vic
toria's private apartments for the first
time, declared the toilet table ar
as most uninteresting
The Czarina, on the other hand, pos
itively revels in matters apertaining TO
her toilet, and spends no less than
$40, 600 annually with one Paris house
for perfumery alone Her dressing
table is of solid silver, with legs of
malachite, and the contents Of her
many jewelled scent bottles REPRESENT
a small fortune in precious smellst But
her favorite essence is violet, and for
several weeks in early spring hundreds
of women and girls may be seen at

which the Czarina's perfume is made

A most valuable face bleach and a
soothing lotion as well, is elder
flower water. 1t is rather hard TO
procure, but very easily made at home.
1t is used in the mixing of face creams
and lotions, and gives much satisfac-
ton. 1t is made as follows: Pluck the
flowers and cut off the stalks quite
close up to the blossoms and place the
latter in a large earthenware jar or

Carmen Sylvia. the Queen of Rou-

herbs by her royal self, and although
many of her illustrious relatives have
pressed her for the secret she refuses
to divulge it,
The German Empress, justly famed
for her beautiful shoulders, gives the
credit to a certain spermaceti soap.
The preparation used by her has a de-
licously refreshing odor, relaxes the
tiny muscles, and at the same time
acts as a marvellous tonic upon the
tender cuticle of the face and neck.
Peppermint, a solvent so cheap that
no one would dream of adulterating 1t,
her majesty employs as a dentifrice.
New-mown hay is her favorite hand

receives frequent atomizations of eau

august consort does not object to, al
though his structures upon dyed hair

to darken her prematurely white Golf

in perfume is chiefly confined to CO.
logne and violet, and according to a
well-informed writer a little while ago,
the royal dressing table in the matter
of toilet preparations is conspicuous by
being "a little out of date"-a fact
which speaks volumes.
The late Queen Regent of Spain is
hardly handsome woman, although
her countenance is thoughtful and
kindly in expression, bearing as it does
the impress of an anxious and unhap-
Ply life. She uses a soap made from
whale oil, and also INDUCES in the very
Spanish custom of treating her com
plexion to a nightly coating of salve,
both from Spanish productions. Even
eau d'espagne, whose virtues she ex-
tolled to her sons bride on the occa-
sion of their first meeting, has failed
to restore the fading charms.

The Simple Life.

Just leave the city's heated mir,
And seek both joy and rest
By casting all your load of care
On Natures loving breast.
Then visit each remembered nook
You haunted years ago
The pastures green, the pebbly brook.
The field you used to hoe.
Again your see the rustic gate
Where you were wont to lean
With her you deemed your chosen
mate
A lass of sweet sixteen.
How like your boyhood days twill
seem,
AS leisureIy you stroll
Down by the dear old silver stream
With bait and fishing pole.
The bank of yielding moss will be
A cool and restful bed,
With Natures azure canopy
Suspended DER your head
The birds will twitter all day long
The notes you love to hear;
The bees will drone a harvest song
Familiar to your ear.
The aster and the golden rod,
Each butterfiy's retreat,
Will seem % give a friendly nod
When e'er you chance to meet.
A zephyr will your senses steep
With incense from the flowers,
And give to you refreshing sleep
Through summers golden hours.
And when at last you must depart
To join the din and strife.
There'll be a yearning in your heart
To lead 1.-The simple life"

containing sugar or starch, such as
peas, beans, corn, potatoes, etc. Have
your bread toasted sprinkle it with
salt instead of butter. Milk if it be
pure and good. is fattening. Skim milk
may be drunk. Hot water is an excel
lent substitute for other liquids Add

reducing flesh, the one fact to recollect
is that fat is carbon-oxygen destroys
or burns out carbon. You must con-
sumo the carbon by the oxygen you

Dear Miss Valeau:
What will remove superhuous hair?
G. M, Pueblo.
Superfiuous hair cannot be perma-
nently removed except by electrolysis.
The pumice treatment will, however.
correct this condition for a time. but
must be renewed as the hairs reappear.
Get an ordinary 5-cent cake of pun
ice stone. This is not pumice soap, but
The regular old-fashioned pumice stone
To remove the hair, rub the skin af-
1icted with the superf1uous growth, and
the pumice stone will wear the hair off
Be careful not to be too heroic and ir-
Titate the skin. In case the arms are
made red by this treatment use lit
tie cold cold. The pumice stone is best
used at night before retiring.
