Animals That Shed Tears.

The shedding of tears from grief
has been noticed among the higher
animals. Darwin reports that 1.-The
Indian elephant is known sometimes
to weep-when captured it sank to
utter prostration, uttering choked
cries with tears trickling down the
checks" Darwin also reports that
one species of monkey is known t.
weep copious drafts.

Roman Relics Found in Wales.

Roman Relics Found in Wales.
Workingmen engaged in diverting
a roadway at Welwyn, Herts, Wales,
unearthed seven Roman urns in a
good state of preservation, a Roman
spur, two drinking bowls six inches
high, one smaller cup, bowl, some
bronze plate, an iron standard and a
small urn six inches high.
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if. the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Man Saved bv Pluckv Girl.

Bloomfield, N. 1.-THE presence Of
mind and pluck Of Marie Ociola, IS
years old, employed in a wooden mill
here, saved Thomas Ellis from death.
Ellis is foreman in the worsted de-
partment in the mills. His left arm
was caught in the betting and he was
being drawn toward the shafting
when Miss Ociola ran to his assist
ance. She caught hold of his ankles
and held on. crying for help Miss
Ociola swung to and fro, but held
fast, and her weight prevented Ellis
from being dragged to the shafting
where he would have been killed.
The young woman's cries for help
We're heard, the machinery was
stopped, and Ellis was released from
the betting and taken in an ambu-
lance to the Mountainside hospital,
where it was found that his arm had
been broken in two places. He was
also painfully bruised. The girl was
not injured.

bull moose the other day, and within
"a hours he dug up stakes and started
for home, saying that he had got his
fill of the woods
Mr.. Flynn had never been in the
heavy timber until he came here One
afternoon Mr.. Flynn was out for deer
and along at sundown posted himself
in thick cOpse close to runway
used by bucks and does on their way
to and from water. He had been sit
ting quietly about an hour when he
heard twigs snap in the distance and
a little dater became aware of the fact
that heavy-footed animal was CON-
ing down the runway
The man had hardly cooked his rifle
before giant bull moose hove in
sight. He was in perfect range, but
Mr.. Flynn was stricken with bad at
tack OF buck fever, and when he fired
the ball wounded the bull in the shoul-
der. The moose stopped short, looked
about for his enemy, and next instant
charged Mr.. Flynn. The hunter had
ollp OpPO1 " lCFCl SO tUC lcvcI
of his rifle and fire again, but, like
many another in a pinch, he lost his
head, dropped the gun, and ran.
Then, hearing the bull coming closer,
he changed his mind and started to
shin a sapling. 1t was an unwise
move, but the sportsman was too
scared to know it.
Mr.. Flynn had just reached a low
branch and was swinging himself up
when the bull, lodging a tree, passed
directly under him. His antlers
brushed the mans legs. loosened his
hold, and down the hunter came
squarely astraddle of the bull
This was the cue for the moose to
get stage fright. Never before had
anything sat on his back, and with a
startled below he turned, struck the
trail, and headed for deep but mar
row creek that runs into Molunkus
river. Mr.. Flynn feared to hang on,
but he didn't dare to let go, and al
most before he knew it he saw the
creek ahead. The sight so paralyzed
Linn that he couldn't even yell.
Just what happened next is some
what mixed in the mind O; Mr. Flynn.
He says he thinks the bull tried to
clear the stream and that. he fell
short. At any rate, man and beast
plunged into the water and floundered
desperately. A little later the hunter
found himself on the muddy bank and
heard the moose breaking through the
timber in full retreat. Outside of a
ducking and a bad scare Mr.. Flynn
was little the worse for his expert.

AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE
Woman Makes Mistake Who Appears
at Morning Meal UnbecomineIy
Or UntidiIy Attired.

The finest compliment we have ever
heard told to woman was by her
husband, and he said, in speaking of
her: "We always think of her as
morning glory, because she looks so
bright and CHEEKY and pretty at the
breakfast table,
How many breakfast tables are pre-
sided over by women who make no
efforts to be dainty? and there are a
great number who are at once untidy
and even uncleanly to look at.
The claim that household duties
keep women from looking we'll in the
morning is easily disWoved, for in
many a household where the lady
gives a helping hand in the kitchen
a big apron will thoroughly protect her
dress, and then, too, cooking, unless
one makes it so, is never dirty work.
That woman commits an error who
looks uncared for and badly dressed
in the morning. The other woman who
wears any old thing to the breakfast
table, is also making mistake, for
that is the time when the men of the
household ought to see a woman at her
best, and not specially rely on her ap-
pearance in the evening, when the soft
and charitable light of the gas will
hide many defects.

Much persuasionr, was used, it is
said, to convince Lieut.. Zeska that he
must acquiesce in all that had hap
pened. Both officers and, in fact, all
concerned, have in clubs and cafes
and in barracks denied the truth Of
the narrative. When the first whisper
was heard a court of honor on the
Ritter was suggested, but the fiat de-
malls of the parties made this impos-
sible.

Old-Fashioned Hair Tonic.

One of the best tonics in the world
to stop the hair from falling, nourish
it and induce luxuriant growth is an
infusion of the leaf Of the common
sage. The leaves should he as fresh
as possible and guaranteed by ones
druggist to be grown the year they
are used. A liberal quantity should
be placed in cold water and allowed
to stand in porcelain or agateware
dish in some place where they will
not boil, or boiling water may be
poured over them and then be set
aside for several hours They must
not be boiled at all; an infusion, not q
decoction, is the thing needed. When
cold strain the tea and add to each
half teacupful a tablespoonful of fine
French brandy, bottle, and keep in the
Ice box or a cool place. It should be
made fresh every week. It should be
applied as often as convenient, once
a day if possible, for several weeks
to get good start, and twice a week
after that

YOUNG ACTRESS

TO SECRET COMPACT TO
SAVE ADMiRER.
ROMANTIC TALE FROM VIENNA
Girl DISCUSSES Herself as Lieutenant
and Takes Part in "Fight" Be-
cause Of Mothers Plea for
T., Only Son.

Eienna.-Most romantic is the tale
which comes from Ofen of the latest
thing in duels. A young actress, after
promising the mother of youthful ad
mirer to save him from challenge
found no way out but to take his place
This she has done successfully
dressed in her admirers uniform.
Fraulein Loef1er is one of the most
bewitching of the younger actresses
attached to the Orczy theater. She is
a great fayorite with the younger Of
ficers and students and the toast at
many of the cafes.
At a noted cafe on the Andrassy
strasse the other night, so goes the
tale, party OF officers were gathered
at late supper. The wine flowed
freely and the talk was that of women
and love adventures. Fraulein Loef
]er's name was mentioned. Ritter Zu
Richthofer, of the hussars, made q
sneering insinuation about her. In
stantly Lieut.. Zeska jumped to his
feet called the Ritter liar and threw
bis glass of wine in his face. The
Ritter slapped the lieutenant's face in
reuturn. A challenge was at once
given and accepted.
Lieut. Zeska belongs to the artil.
!ery stationed in Pesth, and as there
was field day next morning the duel
was put off till the day after by i'm
mediate agreement of the seconds.
The lieutenant repaired to his quar-
tiers. Full Of the matter he sat down
and wrote long letter to his mother
giving her all particulars. The mother
widow, lives In the suburb of Ko
banya. The lieutenant left this let
ter on his writing desk. Next day he
was on duty till nightfall.
Meanwhile much happened Lieut.
Zeska's devoted servant saw the let
ter, and as he frequently before had
delivered similar ones, trotted off with
it to Nine. Zeska. This lady, wher
she read it, was in despair She was

TAKE PROPER CARE OF FACE
Many Women Have Poor Complex.
ions Because They Neglect
Simple Precautions.

One of the greatest evils that beau.
ty doctors have to contend with is tho
fact that women do not properly dry
their hands and face after washing.
Nine women out of ten thoroughly
wash their face with soap and water,
carelessly wipe it off with stiff towel,
then go right out in the wind. It will
take you days, and sometimes weeks,
to undo the harm that this careless
ness has caused If you have not time
to dry your face and hands then do
not wash them Rub little cold cream
on your face and wipe that off with
old towel-this will answer the pur-
pose if you are in hurry. Then, too,
do not wash in hard water. If the
only water you have is "hard" then
add a few drops of benzoin to tho
basin every time Sou use it, or throw
handful of bran or oatmeal in the
water. Any Of these will soften it.
Be liberal with your use of cold
cream on the face and hands. Use a
little of it every time you wash, wipe
1t OF the face and apply a good quail
ity of powder. Powder does not hurt
the face if we'll washed off every night
with warm water, so that the pores
are left well open while you are sleep
ing. The use Of good powder proper
ly applied, never hurt anybody. It is
the girl who buys highly scented
powder with a fancy name, dabs it on
in spots and never thoroughly washes
it off, who has muddy skin caused
by the use of POWDER
For the hands that are badly
chapped the following pomade is
good:
One ounce of cocoa butter, one
ounce of oil of sweet almonds; one
drachm of oxide of zinc; one drachm
of borax; six drops of oil Of berga-
mot. Heat the cocoa butter and the
oil of almonds in a double boiler, and
when they are we'll mixed, add the
borax, and also the oxide of zinc.
Stir these four ingredients until al
most cool and then add the oil Of
bergamot. The oxide of zinc con-
tanned in this formula has wonderful
healing properties.

was to fight with the Ritter, a much
older man and famous for his Prov
ess on the field Of honor.
After futile attempts to see her son,
she went, womanlike, to the actress.
70 her she told all and showed the let
ter. And she prayed the actress to
save her only child. After a heart
breaking scene Fraulein Loefler prom
ised to do So
The actress at once went to the
cavalry barracks at Ofen and sought
out the Ritter. For the sake of her
boy admirer and his sorrowing mother
the actress made a secret compact
with the hussar. But he insisted that
the duel must take place. 1t was i'm
possible for either party to withdraw
II the Ritter shot in the air the ar
tilery officer would surely shoot to
kill, and so some willing substitute
must take his place.
A plot was hatched. The Ritter, the
actress and Nine. Zeska were the only
parties to it. The mother did her part
well. 1t was she who administered a
sleeping draught to Lieut.. Zeska; it
was she who gave the actress one of
the lieutenants uniforms.
A late message was sent the young
lieutenant's seconds to meet him at
his mothers house instead of at his
quarters. In the darkness of the earlv
morning carriage drove up to Nine.
Zeska's little villa. From the house
there issued the figure of a youthful
officer his military cloak wrapped
round him, the fur collar turned up
because of the cold. He joined his
second in the carriage, which drove
away westward to the woods in the
vicinity Of the jaeger Berg.
At the appointed place the Ritter
his second, the umpires and doctors
met the two. PAGES were quickly
measured off. The opponents were
given their loaded pistols. They
threw off their cloaks The lieuten
ant, however, kept on his fur KEPT
pulled down we'll over his eyes.
1t was still dark, but as the first
streak of light came up over the hori
zOn telling OF the coming dawn the
white handkerchief fluttered to the
ground and there rang out a shot. II
was from the Ritter's pistol. He had
missed. The lieutenant" raised his
weapon and fired in the air.
The Ritter saluted, announced his
satisfaction and, advancing, shook
hands with. his opponent. Both were
then hustled into their cloaks and into
the waiting carriages. The duel was
over.
The two opponents drove away in
the same carriage.
1t was from the -droschky driver that
the first hint of the true tale became
known, tbs said. He drove the twain
to the actress fiat.

The Latest in Gloves

Gloves of all thing are of supreme
Importance. The smartest street
model has strap of suede or kid in
front, fastened with stud button on
the outside. Black and white gloves
have given place to colors matching
the costume, or at least hormonizing
with it. Glace and suede are both in
order, and for street wear the Eng
lish stitched kid is preferable. EN-
broidered gloves are worn by the very
dressy, and the glove with fancy
wrists is seen now and then among
those who can bear the touch of much
OrnamentatiOn.

A Beautiful FIGURE.

A girl noted for her beautiful figure
wears her corset over all of her pet
ticoats, save one extremely thin. Lit
tie places are cut through the skirts
so that her hose supporters may be at
tached to her stockings. OF course,
she wears the best make of corset,
and the princess gowns looked as if
she had been melted and poured into
them" The main good in wearing
her corset in this manner comes from
the eradication of all wrinkles or
gathers of the skirts. :: AK.

sees the loveliest sets in pink and pur-
