With the naked eye If they know exactly
where to look for it. It's position is be

the Lyre.
The nucleus of the comet has mora than
sc times the diameter Of the earth, and
the tail extends for 43 900 900 kilomt tres.
1t is travelling at tle rata of $50, 900
kilometres (93. .000) miles an hour. The
nucleus looks like an fgglOmeratiou of

This wandering life of comets travelling
pbl'quely through space snd cutting
through the orbits OF planets in every

Health and Benuty Hints.

For sore throat try a compress of
cold water.
Tincture or arnica is the best appli-
cation for sprains or bruises.
Don't forget that hot and tepid baths
are the best beauty preservers.
To prevent bilious attacks take a
glass of hot water every morning the
first thing.
Vaseline rubbed on the skin In mild
cases of erysipelas relieves the burning
and itching.
Cold tea applied several times a day
with n soft linen cloth is an excellent
remedy for infamed eyes.
A good gargle for sore throat is just
enough permanganate of potash to give
a glass of water faint rose tint.
If you suffer from too high color
give up during the period of one month
all other meat than fresh fish and poul-
try. Do not take oatmeal or strong
condiments. Green stuffs and milk may
be INDUCED in freely.
No sick person should be compelled
to step out of bed without slipping on
soft wool bed shoes, for the chill that
would not affect well person may be
dangerous TO the weak ones. 4 loose
robe of flannelette or eiderdown is also
needed when patient is able to sit up
for a few minutes, as to have the bed
made.
When powder does not adhere nicely
to the face it is because the skin is too
dry Anoint the surface every night
with good skin food after having
washed the face in warm water. This
will get the skin in good condition. Be
fore applying the powder to the face it
is well to anoint 1t first with Il little
cream, wiping off the thickest before
the powder is used.

is to use narrow ribbon that has done
service on summer frock-to form
a yoke and deep cuffs. 1t is put on in
alternating rows with fagoting or sew
ed down to coarse net. This kind of
arrangement freshens a waist.
II one has any nice lace on hand,
even though of different kinds, then
it might be good idea to buy a cou-
pie of yards of filet or Brussels net,
combining the two in smart waist for
afternoon or matinee wear.
While the gored skirt is well liked,
the circular and circular gored sort
show every sign of increasing vogue.
Either style lends itself to the band
trimmings, as well as to the newer but
more attractive panel designs, and there
is every Indication that much liberty
will be allowed in this connection
throughout the summer. The tunic,
thus far. is confined to formal costumes
but is frequently uggested-more OF
less vaguely-by the method Of garni-
ture. This means that a panel, or a
series of panels, is sometimes crossed
or at least supplemented, with a band
either of braid or of self material
curved, and otherwise shaped to outline
tunic And again, it means that a
plain skirt may have the bands so ar
ranged that the skirt is, to all effects
in two parts.

Something Worse.

One would think that almost any
thing Is preferable TO a 81 liked bed in
the rainy open. The chaplain of the
Fifty-second Massachusetts Volunteers
did not find it so, as the major of the
regiment relates in an article on Up
the Teche with Banks" A bridge had
been built, and the Union troops were
supposedly taking rest, camping be-
side the bayou.
The chaplain and the sergeant-najor
were sleeping. or trying to sleep. under
the same blankets. The sergeant-major
was soon fast asleep. Down came the
rain. The soldiers woke. and tried to
shift to the shelter of the trees, but
there was little room. The water came
down in torrents. If one drew up his
rubber blanket tie rain fell on his feet !;
il he pushed it down it soaked his hair.
The chaplain finally got up to look
for better place. The major drowsed
on. Presently the chaplain returned.
1--WE found q nice dry spot You'd
better come"
Where is IT." was the sleepy re-
Spouse.
I'm pig-pen. Nice dry shelf in a
pig-pen. I'm going there. You'd better
come"
Although the major ached in every
bone, he had his doubts as to there be-
ing room for two, SO he replied.
IL guess Ill stay here" and covering
his upper ear with tin plate to keep
out the rain, he went OF to sleep again.
In about half an hour he was dis
turbed by some one getting In under
his blanket
"Who is it?" he grumbled-
81" said the chaplain. I've come
back"
"Whv didn't you stay?"
The chaplain uttered but one word |;
that was sufficient in explanation.
''Fleas!" he calculated, wrathfully.

A Wonderful Mother.

Bringing up nine children on an in
come of 81 week is the task of a
couple named Copp. whose home is in
the Devonshire village of Higher Hox-
ham. six miles from Exeter, England.
The couple have had nineteen in all,
six of whom are dead. OF the thirteen
surviving, the eldest son, aged 10, is
a sailor in the Royal Navy, and three
daughters are out at service. Five of
the children attend school at Polti-
more, two miles away.
The couple were married twenty-four
years ago. and the husband, who is now
A, is employed as roadman by the
Rura, District Council
Asked how she contrived to bring up
such large family on the 16 shillings
week which her husband earned, Mrs.
Copp remarked that it would be very
difficult thing even for her to explain.
All she could say was that it had been
very hard struggle They had to pay
$50 year for their cottage and garden.
They helped matters out bit by grow
ing their own vegetables and keeping
pigs and she economical as much as
possible by making AM mending the
children's garments"

What Is Home:

Should the family exist for the home
or the home for the family? Look
around you and see how often the for
mer is the case. The great majority are
engrossed in keeping up appearances"
The home as place to live in and be
happy in is entirely lost sight of.
Many women have so much house and
furniture to care for that they haven't
any time left over for their children.
Father wears himself out in the ever
lasting grind "down town. to pay for a
house and meet the running expenses of
a home entirely too elaborate for the
family's needs and certainly beyond his
income. He speculates-gambles. some
people call it-cheats, even steals out
right to keep up this "home." Mother
grasses her worried frown at the parlor
door when callers are announced, but
puts it on again once they have gone.

ty deceits and missing the essence of
life in trying to keep up an establish

Poverty has its compensations after

The mistress of such a home is the

wild thyme, soft grass and clover; and
there she slept for hours and bours, I'm.

Voices woke her at last-voices on the
other side of the thick hedge which sep
