 Sir Richard was practically pennfless. Two days after his return he had se- riously considered the advisability or declaring his true identity. The dec 1aration would have placed him in the poesession of money. And anything he had to say would come more for cfbly from the lips of a large landed proprietor than from the mouth of an itinerant beggar. But the record of his past rose up before him Ike wall He had no wish to pose as a converted sinner His conversion was too deep for that He wished to be regarded as the man who had come from the des- erfs of the East. and who had brought with him the truths that a man can hnd in great solitudes.
 Yet money must be found-a gigantic sum of money. A thousand preachers must be provided with their daily bread. There must be no begging by the wayside And for yet another reason money must be found. It must be shown that those who have the hand ling Of great wealth can yet live the simple and austere life of an anchorite.
 He picked up a copy of halfpsnny paper and read a short paragraph which concerned himA intimately. It ran aa follows:
 eDisorderIy. But Not Drunk.
 "A curious scene was witnessed in Pfceadilly last night. wild-eyed. long -hnired man. whose garb and ap- peArancs suggested the Desert of Earrs Court, thought it fitting place to give vent to his views on the evils of wealth and the general decadence of modern society. He collected a large crowd, and for a few moments the street was blocked. But the police, unnfndfuI of the ideal. but fortunately careful of realities. haled him off to the nearest police station. where the state of his mind was inquired into. We understand that the doctor said he was not drunk. and he was dismissed with a caution. He looked like some prophet of the old Testament. but he must have felt smaller than that"
 Sir Richard Gaunt's face darkened as he read the paragraph. Then his eyes caught the heading of the next para graph and it was curious contrast to the one which preceded 1t.
 NThe Richest Man in the World Says
 Life fs . Burden"
 The ironicaI contrast of this head line to the paragraph which preceded it arrested Sir Richard Gaunt's atten- ffon. and he read the half-playful, half enthusiastic words of the journalist who had obtained an interview with snrhA richest man in the world. At least. he says so, and he ought 10 know. He has lust arrived in Lon don, and has taken half the Carlton Hotel. His private cook has motor car of his own. His valet is sleeping

HER EXPERIENCE.


She looked at herself in the mirror
of her dressing table, which stood be
tween two windows in a strong light
She looked long and earnestly, being
beyond youths first flush, and pom
dered.
I'm going to the hairdressers," she
announced audibly to no one in par
ticular. I'm going to see II my hair
horrid gray stuff, can be made to look
like anything"
That was the beginning!
She went, and as necessity the
laundering process took some time,
and the pretty. girl behind the suds.
the shampoo, the hot box or what you
will, spoke in gentle tones of the abb
solute desire on her part to see those
locks done up according to the
latest manner of hairdressing, and
looking at the pretty young girl the
patient acceded to the request that
she look a. transformation"
Seated in front of the mirror with
the curling iron thrust through her
locks at regular intervals she unused
over the mutabllity of human affairs
and chiefly she unused over the price
OF transformation" (when she in
tended buying a blouse with the
money!. Vanity, that dormant pos
session that only needs slight eucour-
agement to become most rampant,
conquired, and the transformation"
was shown. 1t was gray, it was wavy,
and the price was--something terrific!
She hesitated and as is usual-was
lost.
On went the beautiful bit of gray
hair, but this was not all; puffs were
held up for approval beautiful gray
puifs they were, but no; no puffs for
her, these were for the giddier folk,
but a switch almost as pretty was
suggested, and-accepted
Then the pretty girl began, and the
result-well the result was quite
fetching; SO much so that the family
reioiced over the added youthfulness
of the wearer of all this store hair.
Then she went home, took bath,
with head held erect like snake,
slipped skirts over her head with
many groans and objurgations, and
started to the theater.
Half way down the stairs hairpins
began to stick into her scalp, and
when the front door was reached the
agony of the punctures was unbear
able, SO she dashed back into the
house and readjusted things-until
she felt better. When she got ready
for bed and began to take out hair
pins it took her sixteen minutes by
the clock to get it ready for her
nights repose with seventy eight
hairpins, two combs and net piled
as silent witnesses to the expenditure
of one hour and several dollars at the
hairdressers. And the family laughed.

Care Of silverware.


Shining silver upon snowy linen Is
beautiful, but It takes trouble to keep
1t in good condition. The furnishing
Of silver does mott by any means in
dicate that it is Of poor quality; on
the contrary the finer the silver the
more quickly it becomes discolored.
Silver kept in room with omen
gas burners or coal stoves keeps its
brilliancy for a short time only. Tar
nishing can be prevented by having
the pieces lacquered, but the LACQUER,
though serYiceable for ornamental
pieces, toilet articles, etc, cannot be
used on the table service The lac
quered ware can be kept In excellent
condition simply by dusting 1t light
ly and carefully, and about once a.
month wiping 1t with slightly dam
pened soft cloth. Never allow these
pieces to become wet.
Hollow ware which has no been
lacquered and is not In constant use
should be carefully wrapped in fan
mel and then in soft wrapping paper
and placed in dark closet or draw
er secure from acids and gases. The
nat ware that Is to be put away
should be placed in rolls made of
straight pieces of heavy canton fan
mel with individual pockets sewed in
for each knife. fork, etc. The whole
should be rolled up together and soft
wrapping paper placed around tho
outside. Silver kept in this way will
after washing be ready for immediate
use.
The silver that is used daily can
be kept in excellent condition by
washing thoroughly in soft warm
water and soap every day. All such
silver should be washed well every
second week. In doing this be care
ful not TO put several pieces in the
pan together, for this causes dents
and scratches.
rain water or water that has been
boiled is the best to use Make
heavy ysuds with a pure soap and add
few tablespoonfuls of ammonia A
soft sponge is most suitable for wash
ing silver, and a fine brush may be
employed on the chased pieces or
around the handles.
After washing the silver well in the
ammonia suds rinse in clear cold wa
ter and let 1t stand for a few min
utes. II any polishing is necessary
It can be done at this time. Common
whiting, wet with alcohol and rub
bed ON with a soft flannel, makes an
excellent polish. After polishing
wash well again
Finally dip all the pieces in bath
or boiling hot water and dry with a
very soft cloth. This last dip In the
clear boiling water does much to
prevent future oxidation.

The forcing of wheat and other

on at Bevington, Eng, for three
years, under the direction of son
OF Sir Oliver Lodge. A plot of 1914
acres Is covered by a network form
ed of number of lines of stout
telegraph wire with thin galvanized
iron cross wires, the whole support
ed on 22 larch poles 10 feet high,
and two horsepower oil engine

that is transformed to about 100000
volts, and is connected by the Mega

WARNING ADVICE TO

toes Now Prevalent.

Specimens of late blight have been
collected on this date near Wooster,
in several fields which are already
showing damage from the fungus. The
weather thus far tliis season has been
very favorable in that high tempera-
lures and bright sunshiny days have
retarded the growth and distribution
of the fungus. However should the
weather turn cooler with general
rains, it would even yet cause the
spread of the disease to such an ex.
tent that much damage would result
TO the potato crop.
This same disease was collected
last season as early as August Sth, and
past seasons as follows: In 1904 OIL
