When Collar Has Made a Line.

When the line of the collar is seen
on the neck and will not come off, it
is time to do something definite to re-
move the discoloration of the skin.
1t is often effective to apply perox-
ide of hydrogen with bit of absorb
ent cotton. Dab it on at night after a
most thorough washing of the neck In
hot soap suds. Leave it on all night
and scrub again thoroughly with hot
soap suds in the morning, rinsing off
with cold water. Repeat this every
night till the stain or line disappears.

An editor in all towns makes en-
emies. He also makes friends and
good ones too. A little squib at no
one in particular will hit some hol :
low headed individual on a sore spot
and he at once declares himself
against the paper. The editor may
have given him many compliment
airy notices, but the imaginary thrust
puts him on his dignity and he es-
tablishes himself critic, but he has
not the nerve to go to the editor
with his supposed grievance. Just
notice and you will see that the men
who are against the home paper are
as a rule, men WHO would not be
missed if they should leave the com
munity forever. On every question,
of local interest the home paper
stands to make a fight for the best
interests of the town.-The Mason

An Error In Geography.

On one occasion the British lost a
point in their war with Russia by rca-
son Of an error In their geography.
This was when Commodore Elliot had
succeeded in blockading the Russian
feet in the gulf of Saghalin, on the
east coast of Siberia. The Russians
were In cul-de-sac, and the British
ships waited contentedly for such time
as the enemy should venture to put to
sea. But they waited in vain, and at
last an investigation was made. 1t
was found that the Russian feet had
vanished While the British commo-
dore waited at the south end of the
gulf, the Russian ships slipped away
through the shadows at the north end
into the sea Of Okhotsk. Until this
discovery was made the British gov
eminent had believed Saghalln to be
q peninsula. Now, too late, they
learned that it was an island, with
very narrow channel at the north end
of the gulf running into the sea of
Okhotsk.--New York Tribune.

Hay on Church Floor.

A curious custom is annually observ-
ed at Old Neston church on st. Swith-

church Is strewn with hay. Many

Of the field has to supply the hay to
strew the church. The custom Is sup

that on festival Sunday the parishion-

donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
