How TO Reautify Eyebrows.

The eyebrows should receive as care
full IL not as frequent attention as the
hair, says Harper's Bazar. With bit
of cold cream on the finger tips rub the
eyebrows gently to loosen any possible
dandruff, since they are often subject
to this annoyance. Then wash them
with a mixture of alcohol and water.
Lastly, brush them, using the little
brush. on the end Of the nail file. First
brush them straight up toward the hair,
then straight down, and the line will
be fine and we'll shaped. II this treat
ment is used regularly the eyebrows
will constantly grow more beautiful.
Brushing up the outer tip after the last
stroke downward gives a coQuettish
expression to some faces, but the curve
or straight line designed by nature IS
rarely improved upon.

ART OF PIPE SMOKING.
Now R Moy 5o Made a Source OF
Great Pleasure.

Great Pleasure.
As important as the condition Of the
tobacco smoked is the state Of the pipe
! Itself. A straight pipe, with wide
bore to the stem, Is the best, says the
London Globe, because 1t rs easy to
clean with few twists of a feather.
No doubt feathers are the finest pipe
cleaners.
NEXT, no doubt, to good seasoned
tobacco the great secret Of enjoyable
pipe smoking is to have battery Of
pipes, so that frequent change is pos
eible. The ideal plan is never to smoke
particular pipe more than once q
day. When done with 1t should be
cleaned and stood in the rack, bowl
downward, and all pipes should be
used in rotation.
There is a great art, too, in filing q
pipe. If the tobacco is crammed in
haphazard it will not burn evenly, and
a tightly packed pipe Is the cause Of
more tongue blisters than even an i'll
conditioned, half drowned tobacco.
Pipe filling IS perhaps the most difficult
thing smoker has to deal with. Old
hands cannot be sure Of always exact
ly hitting the right degree Of even
density throughout the bowl, and be-
ginners invariably make botch Of 1t.
Some people will never master the
thing in n lifetime, try as they may,
and they are perforce limited to the
minor delights Of cigar and cigarette
smoking or at least have to put up
with mixtures which by reason Of
their short, choppy nature are fairly
fool proof from this point Of view.
A perfectly filled pipe should light at
once in an evenly glowing disk and
should burn through almost to the bot
tom uninterruptedly, preserving
slightly coned shape the whole time.
A curious, not to say unaccountable,
thing about pipe smoking Is the way in
which the formation Of the cake-the
hard black substance which collects on
the inside Of the bowl--varies with diff
ferent smokers.
It does not appear to depend on the
nature Of the tobacco used, but almost
entirely on some mysterious attribute
Of the user. With some smokers this
cake grows rapidly and must be con-
stantly pared away, while with others
its collection is just as slow. In either
case the interior of the bowl must be
kept as smooth as possible by frequent
scrapings. This insures the rim fire
necessary for the cone shaped burn
ing. A rough bowl means center fire
and waste Of tobacco.
To many people the first smoke from
a new pipe is always terror, but the
breaking in Of new brier should nev-
er be attempted by smoking In the
ordinary way 1t must be done by
some sort Of bellows arrangement. A
bicycle pump is not a bad thing. The
pipe should first be packed hard with
the strongest and juiciest tobacco OBJ
tainable. It Is then lighted and drawn
up to a glow with the mouth. A few
puffs will suffice for this, when 1t IS
laid on the table and blown at steadily
until the charge is all consumed. A
pipe treated in this way is ready at
once to 60 in the rack and take Its
turn with the rest.

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit
ton nv a Tarpe Snake.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which
was being driven by woman. The
woman promptly tainted and the car.
left to it's own resources, ran into a
stone wall and caused serious acci-
dent.
The bite Of a poisonous snake
needs prompt attention. Mrs. K. n.
Fishel, Route No. /. Box 40, Dills-
burg, Pa, tells how she saved her
life when bitten by a large snake.
"on August 20, 1906, was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper
head snake. Being distance from
any medical aid, as last resort,
used Sloan's Liniment, and to my
astonishment found it killed all pain
and was the means Of saving my life.
I am the mother of four children and
am never without your Liniment."

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years In
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
euliar ills, more potent and etflca-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years 1 had been suffer
ing with the worst forms OF female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what 1 suffered, and at times l
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.
