glance this device looks like something

possibly burn a lock of hair if handled

sliding in a groove, and after the thing
has been heated the hair is wound
around one of the arms of the tongs,
and when the hair has been drawn
tight, by pulling the teeth along the
slot, the other jaw of the tong is
closed down and its heat gives the
hair the desired curl.

After using borax and rosewater for
the removal of tan and freckles, a lit
tie cold cream should be applied, as
borax makes the skin dry.
Large pores on the nose and chin
may be reduced by applying several
times a day a lotion made of lemon
juice and glycerin, or one of alum and
water.
Lemon strip, made by baking a
lemon twenty minutes and then squeez-

sugar, is excellent for hoarseness and
to break up a cold.
A cure for hiccoughs Is to inhale as
much air as the lungs will hold and

FOND OF HORSE sAUsAGEs.
Thousands of Animals Exported I
the Continent for Eood

Thousands of Animals Exported t.
the Continent for Food.
Thousands of the best horses In the
United Kingdom, thrown out of EN-
ployment by the advent Of the motor
car. are being exported to the CONT.
nent for food, many of them being
made into sausages.
The United Kingdom, the largest i'm
porter IA the world of cattle and sheep
for slaughterlng purposes, is oddly
enough, now the largest exporter Of
horses for the same purpose.
Consul d. w. Williams at Cardiff
says the number of horses, which now
average one for every twenty-five In
habitants, has varied very little from
100000 for fifteen years, but the
number exported for all purposes rose
from 27,612 in 1901 to ALTOS in 1905
and 60,414 in 1906.
The exporting of horses for breeding
and other purposes had been profitable
for many years but the increase since
1901 is altogether due to the trade in
horse meat in certain continental coun.
tries.
This is apparent from the fact that
only 10000 of the number exported id
1905 were valued at more than $10C
each
Belgium seems to be the principal
buyer of old horses and the British ex.
ports to that country in 1905 showed
1905 at under $50 and 1S,454 at S25 tc
$50. The average price of ordinary
horses, ponies excepted, is S27.35, but
fat horses have sold for $50 or more.
The best horsefesh is sold for 10 tc

to 9l5 cents, and the residue is made

pied with pieces of fat" 1t is said
to be the staple food of many people
1t appears that the trade in the
Netherlands Is also growing, for the
British exports were 1888 In 1904, val.
ued each under S25. and 3,S9s at SO
to $50. and In 1905 the number was
11.161 under $25 and 1903 at $25 to
$50.
The growing demand for horse meat
on the continent is due chiefly to the
shortage and high prices Of other
meats.
Sausage is also a popular form of
meat in several countries among class
es who for various reasons have no
inclination to buy canned meats.

A number of years ago Gen. Benja.

in Brooklyn. During his visit he noted
the rule of the street "a 'lway companies

company was the conductor of the car
on which the accident occurred, and
his testimony was so strong as to make
things look bad for Buffers client. But
Butter recalled the unusual rule he had
remarked years before. and on cross
examination he said:
"Your company requires you to rine
up fares as soon as passengers enter

"Yes"

Use Hat. ms Table ornament.

What's the use of harping on the ex-
travagance Of women when new and
attractive millinery confronts their Wis
ion? One might as well take it pilo-
sophically and feel the worst Is YET TO
come. 1t is said, in fact. that not
only will hats be used in their proper
place, but the tyrant behind the BON
net counter is handing them out to
serve as decorations and to masquerade
as table ornaments. At luncheon the
other day the center of the table bore
a fat hat of Tuscan straw as large
as the great hat through which Mrs.
John Jacob Astor talked to the King at
Ascot, and which made society forget
the Derby debacle. The tabled hat was
pink and was tied with ribbon in a way
that made it resemble basket. A bowl
Of water stood In the upturned crown
and was filed with Lawson pinks
From it green vines trailed gracefully
over the table.

legal and equitable, goes back to the
government after REIMBURSEMENT, and
the land can be entered upon by an
other claimant. For this reason the
sale of a reliquishment would carry
no interest to the purchaser. The re

homesteader without his wife joining,
and even without her knowledge.
The efforts Of insurance companies to
show breaches Of warranties often
lead to unusual contentious. but the
case of Scofield's Admx. V. Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company, Ga Allan
tic Reporter, 1107, probably represents
the limit. The company showed that
a brother of the insured had received
letter from him mailed in Colorado,
and as a result contended that they be
permitted to argue to the jury that
California and Colorado were resorts
for consumptives, and on appeal con-
tended that the court should take ju-
dicial notice of the fact that Colorado
was the place to which consumptives
resort. The Supreme Court of Yer
mont, however, refuses to sustain these
contentious. and points out that the
mere fact that letter had been mailed
in Colorado by the insured would have
no tendency to prove that the insured
even resided in Colorado, much less a
tendency to prove that he had con-
sumption. The court adds that 1t would
hesitate to hold that a temporary or
permanent residence In Colorado would
have a tendency to prove that the In
sured was suffering from consumption.

Prof. Garfield's wide experience with

opinion of the trustees of Williams, an
ideal choice for executive of that col.

practical business men as well as schol

Too Long winded.

The inhabitants of the Canary isles
finding themselves oppressed by fam
inc, sent to the governor of Galicia
one of their head men as an a1nbassa-
dor They advised him not to lose him
self in long winded talk. He prom
ised and kept his word. He took with
him a large NUMBER of sacks, and, ar
irving at the town where the governor
was on the circuit, he opened one OF
them before him, saying only these
words: 1T is empty. Fill IL"
The governor ordered this sack and
the rest to be filed with meal, but he
said to the speaker. "You had no need
to tell US that the sack was empty nor
that 4 was necessary to fill it. We
should have readily guessed that. An.
other time be briefer in your talk

The fine art of dressing is to wear
good clothes and be unmindful of them.
To be able to be "unminGful," one must
feel that all her clothes are in order
and becoming. Then. and then only,
can she forget her appearance entirely.
One idea to be borne in mind in choos-
ing hat for the hot weather is that it
SHALL be some protection to the face. 1t
really is more sensible to keep what
complexion you have than to have to
bother with pastes and washes. The
absurdly small and tilted hats worn
early in the season are useless for pro-
tecting the face. The sailor is still
favorite and is being made in lighter
and daintier straws While it con-
tinues to be trimmed simply, with
band and bow, it is brought up to date
by bandeau covered with ribbon bows,
worn in the back under the rim. A
shade hat made of rustic, soft green
straws. and trimmed with wild flowers,
is most attractive.

For wel.-kept hands the nails are of
prime Importance. In the first place
they must be properly cut, following
the outline of the finger tips.
When the hands are washed the skin
at the base should be gently pushed
back with a towel or orange stick, so
as TO disclose the little white half
moon.
When the hand is held up before the
face with the palm inward, tiny rim
of nail should show around the end of
each finger. The corners should be cut
round but not too closely, or they will
become sore.
Sharp instruments should be kept
from the nails, and cutting away the
loose skin should be avoided, las it is
apt to produce soreness. Lemon juice
is useful in taking Off stains. Should
they look dull or rough, little vase
line or beeswax may be rubbed on aud
then polished with soft cloth.

RYAN TO GROW PEANUTS.

May Go TO Africa Soon TO Look Oves
New Interests.
When Thomas +. Ryan interests him
self in any enterprise he is more than
likely 10 get everything out Of it that
can be made to yield profit. says the
New York Tribune. When he acquired
the 10000 acres in the Kongo district
it was generally supposed that be
would be satisfied with the gold, copper
and rubber in sight there. But Mr.
Ryan, as a yirginian, knows the poten'
TALLY Of rich soil. and as there would
be many thousands of idle acres in the
Kongo principally which he had ac
quired, and as his idle land would moi
yield any of the three great crops from
which the greater part of his profit wa
supposed to come, he determined to put
it TO practical use.
Virginia is great peanut State. The
soil conditions in Mr.. Ryan's Kongc
domain are peculiarly well fitted for
peanut culture The best-paying grade
of peanuts that come from the Virgins
market are the so-called Jumbo variety,
large, rich nut, Astounding in oil and
general all-around nutrition
Mr.. Ryan is going to raise Jumbo
peanuts In his mid-African property,
These Jumbo peanuts will bring bis
price in this market, and will be in
strumental in breaking many a corner
as now engineered by the shelters ir
Mr.. Ryan's own State. Men with al
technical knowledge Of the matter have
been sent to the Kongo.
Probably the most-used peanut Ia
what is called the Spanish, an ofrshooi
of what used to be exclusively grown
in Spain. This is the little round pea,
nut so much used for sailing. In Viz
ginia a greater part Of the crop grown
there Is called Spanish No. l. When
the crop Is short there the original
Spanish is imported from Spain, bui
in fact, it is grown in Northern Africa
The conditions of the Virginia sol.
make it superior for this nut over any
other section in the world except the
Kongo district
The Jumbo variety brings the highest
price, however, and naturally 1t was
that variety that Mr.. Ryan selected for
his crop. He will later grow the Span.
ish peanut, which, although cheaper,
has greater sale than the Jumbo. But
Mr.. Ryan's advisers. knowing that the
Jumbo would have the greater sale II
the price were lower. advised him ia
try that grade first And that is the
grade that Mr.. Ryan will grow In the
Kongo district, and from the proceeds
thereof he hopes to be able TO pay nc
inconsiderable part of the expenses Of
the working of his rubber plantations

Leap for Life.
Old Ironsides at anchor lay,
In the harbor of Mahon:
A dead calm rested on the bay
The waves to sleep had gone;
When little Hal, the captains son.
A lad both brave and good
In sport, up shroud and rigging ran,
And on the main-truck stood!
A shudder shot through every vein;
All eyes were turned on high
There stood the boy, with dizzy brain,
Between the sea and sky.
No hold had he above, below:
Alone he stood in air;
To that far height none dared to GO
No aid could reach him there
We gazed. but not man could speak,
With horror all aghast-
In groups, with pallid brow and cheek,
We watched the Quivering mast.
The atmosphere grew thick and hot,
And of lurid hue
As riyeted unto the spot
Stood officers and crew.
The father came on deck He gasped.

Then suddenly rife grasped
And aimed it at mis- SON.

ssThat only chance your life can saves
Jump. jump, boy. " He cbeyed.
He sank-he rose-he lived-he moved
And for the ship struck out.
On board we hailed the lad beloved
With many manly shout
The father drew, in silent JOY,
Those wet arms round his neck.
And folded to his heart his boy
