BEAUTY OF PHYSICAL HEALTH.
No Attractiveness for Women Without
Good Digestion.

ITO look young and keep your beau
ty you must have good digestion"
says a beauty culturist. I'VE feed our
patrons upon herbs; we give them
greens, and we advise them to take
acid fruits. When gypsy woman gets
out of sorts she lives upon dandelion
green's; she mixes sweet herbs; she
doctors herself with the fruits Of the
earth and she RECEIVERS.
Outdoor life is everything for the
woman who wants to keep young.
Her walk gives away the woman
who does not want people to know
how old she is. Usually she loses her
elasticity. And she takes to high heels
and a stilted walk. Wear convention
al clothing and be elastic in your gait;
in that way you will look younger.
II advise women generally to join a
dancing class. BY taking the steps
one can keep up ones elasticity winter
and summer. | have a class of four
women who come three times a week
to learn the gypsy fandangOes and the
Spanish dances. They find that they
breathe better, feel better and are
more healthy generally from this ex-
ercise."

AscRIBED VISIT TO PRAYER.
Father Evidently Had Faith In Daugh-
ter's Supple atoms.

Among my esteemed neighbors there
Is family known for the piety of its
members and their implicit confidence
in the efficacy of prayer. One Of the
daughters, Miss Kate B, has al
most reached the age when she could
be referred to CALAMITY as an old maid.
She is the target for many good
natured quip pertaining to her alleged
hopes and endeavors in the direction
of matrimony.
Not long ago a certain society Of
young men which had interested itself
in the campaign for higher saloon IL
cense sent a committee to visit the
homes of the district and obtain sigma
lures to high-license petition. When
this committee, numbering half dozen
members, assembled the steps at the
B home my friends wife was the
first to see it through the front win
dow.
Laws, John!"' she exclaimed to her
husband. See all those young men
coming to visit u.s."
Mr.. B glanced out of the win
dow, noted the number of the invading
force and remarked, with an air OF
conviction:
"Humph! Kate's been praying again. "

NEW ZEALAND'S WHITE ISLAND.
Always EnveIoped in Clouds Of Steam
Its Strange Lakes.

White island, in Australia, derives
it's name from the clouds OF white
steam in which it appears to be con-
tinually enveloped. Its area is only
600 acres, and its height about $50
feet above the sea level.
In form and color it is like repos-
ing camel, while it's interior with it's
gray, weather-beaten, almost perpen-
dicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at
Rome. Overhanging the southern
landing place stands a column of
rock closely resembling a sentinel
which has been dedicated to the mem
DRY Of Capt Cook. The water of the
island is of pale green hue, and any
thing dipped into it becomes of a
red brick color The fumes of sulphur
are always plainly perceptble.
On fine moonlight night wonder
full sight is afforded to any one who
will sit in an open boat in one of the
lakes of the island. Covering an area
of so acres is an immense caldron
Kissing and snorting and sending forth
volumes of poisonous steam, while all
chances of egress appear to be denied
by the steep, silent and gloomy cliffs.

FIND WoMAN's WIT UNCERTAIN.
A. When This Wife Failed to Appreci
ate Her Husbands Pleasantly.

Don't always rely upon the ready
wit of a woman" said the man who is
sometimes pleased to consider himself
an oracle. THAT ready wit business
is sometimes prone to get way off.
For example, my wife and children
had been staying in the country for
several weeks and was regular with
my letters, as every loving husband
should be. Finally on the day before
my wife was to start for home l con-
cluded my letter to her with these
words
"'This will be the last letter will
write to you for long, long time
when l got down to my Office the
next morning found a telegram from
my wife waiting for me. What on
earth do you mean?' read the dispatch.
Later a registered letter came from
her. She had blotted almost every
line with tears What 1t was all about
l could not imagine.
"Then my telephone bell rang, and
when l answered | heard my wife's
voice speaking over the long distance
phone.
"'Oh, John said she. is that really
you? thought you had committed
suicide!'"

Quaint Death Notice.

This notice appeared recently In a
German paper; Bowed with grief and
recognizing the wisdom Of God, who
decreed It, the widow and four chill
dren of Hartwig Langmann make
known to their relatives and friends
the entry into eternal rest of beloved
husband and father. There will be no
grafton at his bier, because no words
could describe his worth or make our
sorrow less. Flowers from those who
share our grief should not be sent, be-
cause the custom was distasteful to
him who has gone If a desire to show
such a mark of respect exists let II
find expression in gifts to the poor
whose thanks we shall echo in the
firm knowledge that the act would find
favor with him whose life was good
