Baths of L Lemonade.

The very latest thing in Paris is the
lemonade bath. 1t is supposed to be
cooling, refreshing and beneficial
A pretty Partisan actress has insti-
tuted the fashion of letting her friends
see her take lemonade plunge In
charming directoire bathing dress,
with her hair tied up in yellow rib
bons, she sat and received her guests
in white tub draped with yellow and
filled with lemonade, with pieces of
lemon peel floaing about on the sur
face.
A glass of iced lemonade was given
to each guest, and for those who
would join in the novelty lemonade
baths were arranged and directoire
bathing dresses provided.
1t is scarcely likely that this form
of the bath will ever become really
popular, but as an advertising scheme
for a young actress it is certainly far
better than lost jewels.-New York

FIRST PORTRAIT OF oPlgs.
Accepted Beating in Order to In
sure Its Success.

John Opie, the English painter is
described as man of humble origin,
VINO achieved success wholly by his
own genius and perseverance. The
s'ofy OF his first effort in that line Of
ait which arterward brought him fame
he related TO Coke, first earl of Leices.
Ter OF Holllham, as follows:
When small boy of ten or twelve
ne was left at home one Sunday after
noon with his father, while his moth
er Went to church. The father estab
lshed himself in the parlor with his
Bible, and told the boy to be quiet
and amuse himself.
loung 0pie, who had procured some
paints, TOOK up a position unobserved
in the kitchen, directly opposite the
pal,ior door. Very quietly he drew a
portrait of the old man bending over
his Bible, until he had finished every
thing except the head, when he began
rUnnins backward and forward to
study his fathers face.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless interrupt
tons and threatened to punish his
son if they continued.
This was exactly what the boy want
ed, as he wished paint his fathers
eye lit up and sparkling With anger
So he continued his irritating behav-
lor until it met with the desired re-
suit, and his father justly wrathful,
administered sound ,hrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly, and transferred to his
picture the expression which he had
just seen upon the face OF his indig-
nant parent.
When his mother returned from
church, he placed the picture tri-
umphantly before her; but although
astonished and delighted with it, she
thought it her duty to scold her son
severely for painting on a Sunday
Young Opie, however, cared no more
for the scolding than for the beating
he had received in accomplishing his
work, and only Rugged his mother de-
lightedly in his excitement al it's sue
cess.
His father, coming into the room at
this juncture, and spying the portrait
OF himself, was so surprised and
pleased at it that he told the mother
nor tc scold the boy any more.
Subsequently, whenever the picture
was shown, he used to tell with great
relish the story of young Opie's plucky
acceptance of beating in order to in
sure its success. Youths Companion

Orange Rind as a Malaria cure.

The Tampa Times, in an editorial
on the commercial discovery of
new kind Of orange on account of the
medicinal value of the rind in mala-
rial diseases, makes suggestion.
This is remindful of the orange leaf
tea used by the housewives of Florida
in the earlier days asa corrective for
malaria. There is no doubt of its ex-
celleGce as a tonic, and it is quite
possible that the rind of the sour
and wild oranges might be made use
full along the same line Tea made
from the fresh leaves of lemon sprouts
is of most excellent effect as a tonic
and anti-periodic, and steps ought to
be taken to provide supplies of it for
the public" Those who have once ex-
perienced the benefit of this old-time
household remedy are aware of it's
value. 1t is a pity that its efficiency
should not be more widely known

To Preserve Snan Reans

While the Bulgarians have produced
no specially noted Gordon bleus. they
are people of faculty. and know
how to make the most of their some
What meager food supplies. In the
cooking of beans, fresh or dried, they
can even give points to a Bostonian.
They have unique way of putting
up snap beans for winters use, easy
and excellent as to results. The beans
are picked when just tender, "snappy"
age, are washed clean strung and
broken into inch pieces as though
ready for cooking. Now the housewife
threads a coarse needle with strong
thread, and in a jiffy strings the pieces
OF broken beans on the thread AS
soon as a generous loop is made it is
hung in the sunshine to dry.
When perfectly dry it is laid away
from the Dust until ready for use
Then take as many as desired, soak
in lukeWarm water several hours, and
cook the same as fresh beans.

head poked itself through the door Of
the vestry, and low and tremulous
voice said:
'Parson, the church is on fire.

HAD TO SURRENDER
YOUNG MANS STRENUOUS WOO
ING IRRESISTIBLE.
As Mr.. johnson Himself Said, When
lie Had His Mind Made Up There
Was Nothing That Could
Stop Him.

Have you ever experienced the
feeling, Mr.. Johnson, said young
lady, softly, that some great opportu-
nifty was within your grasp, but you
had hardly the presence OF mind, the
the courtesy, as it We're, to avail
yourself of it?"
Why -er-yes Miss stevens. /
have at times had that kind OF feel
ing"
Miss Stevens sighed dreamily, and
then there was pause, during which
the Young couple sat in the semidark
ness of the parlor in profound silence.
He sat down and looked helplessly at
The glowing Goals in the CRATE, with
the feeling that every breath he drew
was a mortifying and CHASTITY bIunder
As YOU We're about to say, MI
Johnson, resumed the young lady,
there are times when it seems to
all OF us we must speak what is in
our minds"
Yes, vaguely answered the bewil-
dered youth, as he tried TO remember
When he bad begun to say anything
OF the kind Yes, of course"
And While | am not so sure ought
to listen 10 you, MI Johnson" she
said, with downcast eyes. when you
speak to me in this-this personal
matter, yet"
The young man could feel his pulse
beat tattoo on the drums of his
ears, but he sat like boy with his
masters eye upon him and said moth
ing.
BY the way" exclaimed Miss Stev-
ems, presently, L have new book of
engravings, Mr.. Johnson, that l am
sure you will enjoy seeing. 1t is a
large book, and you'll have to move
your chair. Yes, you can sit here
with me on the sofa. l never thought
of that"
The pictures danced before the eyes
OF the young man in blurred, confused
images.
Isn't this engraving of the Court
ship of Florence Dombey and Walter
Gay perfectly lovely?"
Wh-which is Walter?" he gasped.
There. Look closer. Don't you
see lim?"
'Wh-who's he courting?"
You'll have to come closer, Mr..
johnson. ! declare, though hand she
looked archly at the trembling youth
- am almost afraid to let you come
any nearer. You look exactly like Wal
ter in the picture"
And then the arm of the HELPLESS
young man stole in a timid, apologet-
ic sneaking way round the waist of
the charming Miss Stevens, her head
sank upon his shoulder and the book
OF engravings fell neglected to the
floor.
Samuel, she said an hour later, as
she toyed with the button of his coat
you bold boy! How on earth did you
ever muster courage to ask me to
become your wife? You know we'll
enough | never gave you a particle of
announcement"
The young man patted her conde-
scendingly on the head, and then said
proudly with the voice of an Ajax de-
flying the lightning;
When make up my mind to do
anything, Selma, no obstacle ON earth
can stop me-"
