"chosts" in Orkney Town

'Ghostly happenings have disturb
ed the town of Kirkwall, the capital
of the county of Orkney. One night
recently the wife of the bell-ringer
went to St. Magnus' cathedral to
sound the curfew at eight o'clock.
This is an ancient custom still observ-
ed in the burgh. The bell had been
tolled for less than a minute when,
it is alleged, figure suddenly appear

FAMILY's SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Aztec.
tions Afflict Different Members,
But cuticura Cures Them.

MY wife had eczema for five or six
years. It was on her face and would
come and 60. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies trial. We
did so and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. 1 myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. I now
have a very heavy head Of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
fleshy, and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any
thing else. Mr.. H. B. Springmire, 1913

GEESE ALARMED THE TOWN,
Wild Fowl, Driven to Earth, Aston.
ished Sleepy 6ur9hers.

One of those peculiar freaks of the
elements that occur only at long inter-
walls took place the other night, causing
what many believed for time was a
shower of wild fowl, says a Lewiston
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. A steady snowstorm prevailed
during the day, followed late at night
by heavy electrical storm. Amid
the heavy downpour of rain there was
a drop of 20 degrees in temperature
and large flock of geese driven to
earth by the currents in the air and
attracted by the lights of the city
alighted in the streets or went hiss
ing, quacking and cackling about as if
bedlam had broken loose.
Many of the residents who were
suddenly awakened by the unearthly
noise were driven almost to the verge
of panic and are no longer sceptical

COLFFURES or MANY KINDS

plumpness and the long oval, all of
which are notifications of the perfect
oval face. Equally numerous are the
different varieties of the round face.
There is the so-called perfect type of
round face-that is, neither too thin
nor too fat-the plump round face,
the broad fat face and the very round
short face. Then there is the sharp
pointed face to be considered, the one
with receding chin, and the type
possessing very large or aquiline
nose, so that it can be plainly seen
that, while certain directions may be
followed with satisfactory results, it
is simply impossible to set down any
hard and fast rules, because so few
women have features that come up
to the standard of perfection.
For instance, a perfect type of round
face may have the hair dressed high
or low, but if the face is short and
round the high couture must be adopt
ed. The fat round face, too, should
look we'll with high arrangement, but
the sides must be puffed little, OF
the result will be that the fat cheeks
appear really fatter.

OId-Fashioned Stone Has Come Again

gems recently, and added:
There are two kinds of this gar

which we call Indian. The latter is
truly oriental, both in its richness OF

LATE FANCY SENT FROM PARIS
LARGE CIoaks and Wraps Are in Order
in the Gay Capital.

The ample enveloping cloaks of the
regency which were much worn in
Paris last summer are again in order,
and second-empire cloaks and wraps
of shawl-like draping are considered
extremely chic. One sees Louis XIV.
and directoire models and there is a
host of fantastic little wraps and short
coats which will be worn over sheer
summer frocks and not only over the
lingerie materials but over chiffons,
sheer voiles and similar stuffs. White
chiffon broadcloth was used in the
construction of this model and brown

GOOSE II YEARS OF AGE.
It Is Still as Lively as Much Younger
Bird.

William Yours Strong, farmer near
Caldwell, y. j., owns goose which is
70 years old, he says, according to the
New York World
"William Yours, the man l was
named after, gave me this goose in
1871 said Strong. Yours was
going back to the old country,
and he said: Bill, I've owned this
goose for sc years. I would take her
with me, but / fear she cannot stand
the voyage. So I give her to YOU
Cherish her, Bill; be kind to her in her
old age, for she is almost like a sister
to me-
Yours kissed the goose good-by,"
Mr.. Strong added: Look at her; she
is as active as a gosling."
This was affectionate exaggeration.

around Mr.. Strong's farmyard, but her

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
(Fort Dodge Chronicle.)


The law of supply and demand is
the great regulator of prices. 1t is
automatic, i. e., it regulates itself. 1t
may require some delay for true ad-
justment, and there may be attempts
artiticially to interfere with supply or
demand Just now there is in our
broad land an unprecedented call for
workers. skilled and unskilled male
and female, professional and layic.
This call draws young men from the
farm and young women from the home
farm and young women from the
home. 1t is heard beyond the two
oceans, and in response come crowded
ships with workers for almost every
land under heaven to help us. BY and
by there will be revision and Il re-
adjustment; leading to more safe and
sane conditions. Ultimately the law of
demand will make all things right.
Present advance in prices may not
be unjust To the disabled aud de-
pendent they will work some hardship.
With the great mass it will make no
difference. If expenses are higher
earnings are also larger.
