HOW TO Scent. CLOTHING
WITH DELICATE PERFUMES

The use of perfume is one that every
woman should understand. II too much
is put on the odor becomes noxiou5 and
cloying. and only the faintest sugges-
ton is desirable.
More subtle, and in every way the
most delicate method, is through the
use Of powders that scent the garments.
1t is not known precisely why it should
be so. but with these rather than LIQUIDS
than is never a harshness of pcrfums.
With very little trouble and rot much
expense a woman may have net only all
her clothing thus sweetened. but house
linen as well.
One of these delicate scents TO keep
among sheets and pillow cases is a mix
ture of seven parts OF powdered cedar
wood. the same OF dried lavender flow
ers. one part OF powdered gum benzoln.
one part Of powdered cloves, and two
parts of powdered cinnamon. 1t cannot
be excelled. 1t must be well mixed,
sifted and put into fat bags among the
sheets. or else fat pads the size Of the
shelves or drawers may be used. Any
thin material Is suitable for the pads.

\ Curious Jewish TnOdItiOn

The Jews of eastern Palestine and
ASIA Minor have a queer tradition
which has survived from ancient times
and tells Of a remote period in their
history when every fully developed Is
raeltte was equipped with three per
feet eyes.
The two main optics were situated in
the front part of the head. just as
eyes are today, but the third was locat-
ed liz the hack part OF the head just
above the rape OF the neck in the edge
Of the hair.
This wonderful third eye in man was
not "evoluted" out OF existence but was
closed b. divine injunction on the day
when Moses was given the tables OF
stone on Sinai
Gods command on the day that the
tables were renewed was to the effect
that no man should be seen in the Vi
dnlty OF the holy mount.
The believers IN the three-eye tradi-
ton say that Moses supplemented Gods
command by ordering the faithful who
were encamped in the valley to turn
their heads from the mountain, says
Home Chat. This they did, but took
good care TO uncover the eye that was
Situated in tho back OF the head.
Moses. netting this show Of duplicity on
the part Of his followers, asked God 10
close the third. OF rear. eye. and since
that day the Israelites. In common with
the remainder Of humanity, have been
forced to depend on two eyes only.

Perhaps there is no more difficult art
than that Of arranging the veil. and the

THE SUDDEN DEATH
 OF MRS. ALMA DAVIS
Former Arizona Girl Passed Away at
 Her Home in Rigby, Idaho.

A telegraph was received in Phoe- nix last night bearing the news of the death at Rigby, Idaho, of Mrs. Alma Davis, formerly Miss Emma King The news will be a severe shock to large number of Phoenix. Tempe and Mesa people. Mrs. Davis was a par ticularly healthy and robust person, and was seldom sick, which makes the sudden announcement of her death great surprise.
 Mrs. Davis, then Miss King. gradu- ated from the Tempe normal in 1902. after which she taught school at Oc- 1904 she married MT. Davis, normal graduate Of the class of 1901. They met in school and it was there the acquaintance developed into love and was later solemniZed by marriage. The young couple have been very prosper ous, Mir. Davis being engaged eXten sively in cattle raising and farming.
 Those who knew Mrs. Davis will deeply mourn her death for she was woman of unusual attainments and during her residence in Tempe en- deared herself to everyone as only few people ever do. Beside her husband she is survived by only one near rela- tive. her mother, who has been making her home with the daughter. Her only brother was killed a few years ago in a mine accident in Yavapai county.

CATS STRANGE MISSION.

Twelve cats embarked on Saturday on board the steamship Kincraig, at Victoria Docks. London, bound for In dia, on the strangest mission on which cats ever went. They are going to make d fight against the plague and to try to succeed where medical science has met with not very great success.
 The cats were embarked under the care of the Salvation Army authorities and came from a cats home at Ham, rnersmith. They are being sent to the army colony at Kuktipa, under the special care ot a Russian member of the arnl-,
 Each cat has a Separate cage. Their menu on the voyage is likely to meet with their entire approval. Large tins of sardines have been taken for their exclusive use, as well as tins of her rings. fifteen large tins of condensed milk, some timed New Zealand nut variety of ether delicacies, several boxes of puppy biscuits.
 If the experiment is at all success ful more cats may follows. The plague commission in India proved last year that plague is spread by rat fieas. The cats will it is hoped. gradually kill the rats, and thus eventually exterminate the chief medium by which the bacillus is communicated from one being to another
 But it remains to be seen whether or not in killing the infected rats the cats will themselves get the plague and one bacteriologist has given it as his opinion that the liability in this re- spect is very great.-London Mail.
