Dene-hoIes in England.

A large group Of the singular exca-
vations known as dene-holes was re.
Gently discovered In the forest be
tween Woolwich and Firth. Their pc.
sitions were indicated by cup-like de
pressions In the ground. Two OF the
holes have been explored. Each pos,
sesses a circular shaft about three
feet IN diameter, with holes in the
sides, apparently intended for the sup
port OF ladders. The holes run down
about SO feet through earth, then pass
through four or FIVE feet Of chalk, and
expand into caverns Is feet In height.
Each cavern has six chambers,
grouped radially round the bottom OF
the central shaft This is the ordinary
arrangement found in dene-holes.
which have been thought by archeolo-
gists to be secret receptacles for the
storage Of grain used about the time
of the Roman occupation Of Britain,
or earlier.

At a Chinese Funeral.

The London Saturday Journal, in de-
scribing the weird rites AT Chinese
funeral. remarks that In the usual
topsy >turvy way of the Orient the
Chinaman enjoys himself even at OBJ
seQuies. The Journal adds: The cot
fin is placed beside the grave and food
placed upon 1t. A white rooster, alive
or dead. is usually there. to lure the
spirit Of the man who has died abroad
back 70 the home OF his fathers.
Whisky and tea and a bowl Of rice
with chopsticks are there. SO that the
corpse may not starve in the next
world. Gin and tea are then sprinkled
over the CONN, and the bottles thrown
away. The mourners stand around
laughing, enjoying the fun. The coffin
is lowered. candles are 1T. suit Of
paper clothes is burned, and some pa
per money. Thus the corpse is as
sured of clothes in the next world, and
pocket money to put in them"

MUSIC or ssnEr,r TO SICK.


In the Berlin charity hospital, on
every Sunday. In the afternoon, con-
certs are given for the benefit a. the
patients. The good effects Of the
music are said to be extraordinary.
The British Medical Journal recalls
that st. Cecilia guild was founded
In London some is years ago on the
initiative Of the late Rev. Frederick
XIII Hartford, then q minor canon Of
Westminster. The movement was
supported by some prominent persons,
among whom was Sir Andrew Clark,
and its efforts In q few hospitals and
workhouse infirmaries were watched
with a certain amount of languid in
terest by few members Of the med
ical profession. But the enterprise
came to nothing Our medical con-
temporary thinks It a pity that the
st. Cecilia guild was allowed to die,
and says 1t might be worth while ap-
plying the experimental method to the
determination Of the effects Of music
ON the circulation and on the nervous
system. and thus indirectly on other
functions OF the body, In more seri.
GUS and systematic way than has yet
been done.

SOCIAL LAW THAT IS ADAMAN7
impossible to Be Absent.Minde and
Make . Success.

There are some rules for social sue.
cess that II is wholly impossible to
iSnonss nowadays.
II Is the fashion to say everyone is
bad.mannered. and, alas, II is quite
possible to be atrociously rude In
some ways, and yet be popular. but
there are one or two things one cannot
do with any hope OF achieving social
distinction or even being merely toll
Grated. These things are hidden.
however, from those who fondly imag-
inc they can initiate all the faults of
society with impunity.
II is the infringement or ignorance
Of these esetesie by-le~s which be-
tray the outsider" One such decree,
for example, is that in no circum-
stances whatever is absent-minded-
ness permissible. One may leave
notes unanswered, but one must not
be absent-minded. This is Q distinc-
ton with difference.

First Aid to Farmers.

A farmer in Ohio wrote to the de-
partment of agriculture that he had
struggled for 20 years on an S0-acre
farm heavily mortgaged but had been
unable to reduce his debt or rise above
a poverty that made the bringing up
Of his family humiliation.
He asked II there was any hope for
him upon the farm or II he might as
well give up the fight. The depart

made to yield 5000 year.

Beech TREES AND LIGHTNING
Wrong Belief a. to Safety during .
Thunderstorm.

A widespread belief is that during
thunderstorm safety may be found
under beach tree, and that the dan
ger from lightning Is IL times as
great under a resinous tree and SO
times as great under an oak. DR.. A.
w. Borthwick, the British naturalist.
finds this view to be entirely without
foundation. The beech IL not avoided
by lightning, which selects one species
as readily as another, but the taller
trees in the neighborhood appear to
be the ones liable to be struck. The
effects Of lightning also are common
ly misunderstood. The cells of a tree
are not ruptured or torn by the for
nation Of steam. as so often stated,
but they collapse. or shrink up, with
out tearing. The roots seem to es-
cape damage.

Artificial Gems.

disbelief in others by the announce.
ment that process had been discov-

stones could be produced by artificial

Recently several official experts
have made an examination of about 40
OF these artificial gems In their re-
port to the Museum~of Natural His
tory they say:
"Of all the stones we examined, we
can only call the artificial rubies a
direct success, but the imitation OF
this species is no new invention. We
therefore declare that there is moth.

For Hair Losers.

Many complain that their hair does
not stand brushing, but comes out in
handfuls as soon as the brush is ap-
piled. This is probably due to an IN
healthy condition of the scalp, and will
require special treatment Do not
brush the hair very often, just enough
to keep it smooth.
In order TO have beautiful, luxurious
hair it will be we'll to follow the prac-
teal hints in the following paragraphs
infinitely:
Never expose the hair to the sun for
any length of time, unless it is blonde
and you wish to bleach it.
Equally injurious is the roughening.
or rafting" of the hair, by combing
it the wrong way.
Gray hair requires even more care
than brown, blonde or black ones, in
order to bring out the delicate shade.
If not carefully washed and not i'm
maculately clean, it will be streaky
and inclined to show yellowish tones.

nearly so becoming and dignified as

THE TWIN SKIRT IDEA.
Three-Piece Suits Are Now Meeting
with Much Favor.

To have two skirts for one coat is
by no means a novel scheme, for it
has long been the custom Of the wom-
an who aims to dress smartly on q
limited income to order annually one
expensive tailored coat and with it a
short or walking skirt, as we'll as one
that is trained and intended solely
for conventional occasions, thus max
ing the coat do duty for two purposes,
on the principle that one coat will out
wear two skirts. Since the long skirt
has again come into general vogue,
however, tailors are realizing that by
making up handsomely trimmed and
moderately priced three-piece suits of
this character women will gladly
buy them. In most instances the two
skirts are of broadcloth, diagonal or
hard-finished worsted matching the
coat, but if the outer garment is
deliberately trimmed with black. the
long skirt may quite properly be of
black satin. This has the raised Cir
de- and when it is mounted upon a
black or white lace or net bolster"
bodice it practically becomes a second
dress with nothing about it suggestive
of makeshift.

light weight fabrics are used they are

TALLY, for the model is not one to look
we'll if too 1imsily carried out. Satin,
with soft silk lining; silk, with soft
satin lining, are suitable. The illus
trated garment is of white cloth lined
with silk of the thinnest and softest
quality and the most exquisite pattern
of La France roses on white ground.
The coat is trimmed with bands of
filet applique, which is laid over
lining of pink chiffon. This coat II
worn with white, pink, pale gray, pale
green or pale blue evening frocks of
rather simple order is really most
attractive, the touch of pink in the
coat being effectively carried out by
the large pink rose in the couture
Very pale green coats lined with white
and with white trimmings are most
effective and most useful made along
these lines. The model is one in fact
which suggests a garment to be worn
with number of costumes and should
be carried out in comparatively con-
ventional color combinations and in
fine rather than magnificent materials.
1t is altogether too conventional to
call for unique color schemes or to
do honor to magnificent fabrics.

cured me and have not been bothered
with the itching since, to amount to

ment ran it into my leg. which then
swelled and began to break out The
doctor was afraid it would turn to

Ill Health Affects Skin.

There is probably no part of the
body so quick to show the effect of
poor health as the skin. The case of
the girl with the poor, blotchy skin is
no longer treated lightly, but is given
time and attention. The trouble is
not merely superficial but it demands
skillful treatment. The removal of
the cause must be effected before the
complexion will clear. Overeating,
breathing impure air, lack of sleep and
exercise, nervous strain and violent
emotions are bound to show their eff
fects upon the skin.
