POTENT LIQUOR Is SAKE.
lafeadio Hearn's Testimony - Il
Strength Of japanese Wine.

There is no liquor in the world upon
which a man becomes 30 quickly in
toxicated as Japanese sake (rice
wine). and yet none of which the ef-
fects last SO short a time. The in
toxication is pleasant as the effect OF
opium or hasheesh. It is soft. pleas.
ant, luminous exhilaration. everything
becoming brighter. happier, lighter;
then you get very sleepy.
At Japanese dinners 1t is the rule to
become slightly exhilarated, but not to
drink enough to talk thickly or walk
crooked. The ability to drink at ban.
Quets requires practice-long practice.
There are banQuets Of many kinds,
and the man who is invited to one at
which extensive drinking may be ex.
pected is careful to start in upon an
empty or almost empty stomach BY
not eating one can drink q good deal.
The cups are very small and OF many
curious shapes. One may be expected
to empty SO. A quart of sake is a good
deal; two quarts require iron nerves
to stand. But among the Japanese
there are wonderful drinkers. At a
military onacer's banquet a captain
offered me tumbler holding good
pint of sake. almost tainted at the
sight Of it. for It was only the FIRST.
But a friend said to me: "Only drink
little and pass 1t back" which did.
Stronger heads emptied cup after cup
like water.-Letters OF Lafcadio

FEARFUL BURNING SORES.

Rough Scales. Itching and In.

Il wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put stop to
tv'elve years Of misery l passed with
my son. AS an infant l noticed on
his body red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger / put him under the care
OF doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
OF his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse 1t became. Dur
Ing the day 1t would get rough and
form like scales. At night 1t would
be cracked, infiamed. and badly Ewol-
len. with terrible burning and itch.
ing. When think Of his suffering.
1t nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. had no ambition to
work, to eat. nor could sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons
eczema was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
ful Cuticura and decided to give 1t
trial. 1tell you that Cuticura Ointment

From that time on. she continued
her investigations on her own ac-
count. For the past six years she has
given the electric arc her continued
attention. Now having completed her
work and solved the knotty problems,
she will publish her results in book
form. 1t is partly for this that the
Hughes medal Of the Royal society was
awarded her. Her other achievement
is establishing the cause and effect of
sand ripples by the tides. This is in
valuable in the charting, navigation,
and ultimate Strengthening of winding

child on the seaside. Now she has

FOR BIRTHDAY OF POET.
Luncheon Suitable for Anniversary OF

Tuesday is the anniversary of the
natal day of the immortal bard of
Avon and if any of our readers are
planning luncheons or dinners for that
day the following quotations will be
appropriate:
There's nothing i'll can dwell in
such temple"
whit please you taste of what is
here?"

tite and health on BOTH"

low, an excellent thing in woman
Sweets to the sweet

fail that Shakespeare favorite colors
were purple and gold; anyway, it
would be pretty conceit to use pur-
pie cardboard and gold lettering for
the menu and other decorations could
be kept in these very effective cOlors.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.
carelessness in Dress initiates Against
Good Looks.

One of the small matters that mill
tateS most against good appearance
is the falling of stray hair at the back.
This can be obviated by skillful undu-
lation and the use of fine hairpins, if
they are good; hairpins are items
where cheapness is dearest in the end.
Most of the best pins come from
France, and as long as they exist they
remain unbent, with the japanning
well on; .sbronzing," we should say,
for bronze pins have come to stay.
With regard to brushing the hair, I'M
bleached bristles, being much firmer
than ordinary kinds, are more stimu-
lating to the scalp.
But beside hair there are one or
two other items that are most con-
ducive and necessary to good appear
ance. First and foremost among these
is to have the nails well polished. Most
people. even if they do not devote
themselves to all the adjuncts of
beauty culture, use little grease on
the face. If they are not in their first
youth they would be most unwise not
to massage the face, however slight,
by daily using some emollient and
working across the lines that begin,
alas. too soon, and very good cold
cream, guiltless of animal fat, is in
valuable for the purpose.-Home Mag

A Dutch Function.

The correspondent who asks for a
novel church or club entertainment,
am sure will find the description of
this affair just suited to her needs.
The invitations were decorated with
windmills and the sailed nuts passed
in wooden shoes. There were IL liv-
ing pictures copied from masterpieces
by Holland artists, those taking part
were dressed and posed as near IKE
the original as possible. Each member
of the club was responsible for only
one picture, so the work was equally
divided. The tableaux were shown on
a stair landing where the audience
could see from drawing-room and hall,
and the effect was lovely.
A Holland brand of cocoa was
served by young girls dressed in the
quaint Dutch" costume of orange and
hue. The decorations were also of
these colors, with yellow tulips and
several pictures of Hollands young
queen, Wilhelmina.
This entertainment was so success
full that the ladies were asked to re-
peat it.

APRON AND WORK BAG.
Pretty Garment That Combines TWO
Useful Purposes.

An apron that forms bag for work
is most useful, as not only can the
work be kept clean, but the ball of
wool or cotton, also all work nipple
ments, are always at hand. The apron
and bag combined which we show in
this illustration may be made from
any cotton material, from spotted mus
lin to printed sateen. One width OF
material about IL yards in length is
required. This is turned down at each
edge, with a hem two inches wide,
row of stitching being also worked
from one-half to three-fourths inch
from the actual hem. In this ribbon
is threaded, which at one end is used
to tie round the waist the other end
is turned up on the right side to form
a pocket ten inches deep; and slide
of material should be put on the back
of the apron to correspond with the
